After the officials left, the father and son wandered to Mingtang.

This shabby place is too grandiose and beautiful, and there is a large garden around it, so I don't know what to do with it now.

"The Cao family, the Xiang family, and the Han family are the first families to decide to split and relocate," Zhu Ming said, "These three families occupy too much land, and after migrating to other places, it is impossible to find some reasons to confiscate most of the land by the mu." ”

Zhu Guoxiang asked: "The crime is easy to find, right?" ”

Zhu Ming said: "As long as you have the heart, you can find out a lot of crimes." Moreover, there is a lot of land, and they can't get the land deed, so this kind of direct confiscation is. ”

"Then do it." Zhu Guoxiang did not hesitate, how could there be any kindness?

The Cao family is the descendant of Cao Bin, the Xiang family is the descendant of Xiang Minzhong, and the Han family is the descendant of Han Qi.

The first two families occupied the most land in Gyeonggi, and they continued to marry Zhao and Song, and successive emperors would give them a large amount of land.

Splitting and relocating these three families and confiscating the land will solve a small part of the land annexation problem in Gyeonggi Road. The consequences caused by Xicheng and Jin Bing also solved part of the merger problem, and many small and medium-sized landlords disappeared directly, and the big landlords fled with their families.

Zhu Ming said: "The landlords who come back one after another must show the land deed. But the land for which the land could not be deed was distributed to tenants, peasants, and vagrants. ”

Zhu Guoxiang worried: "Your order has too much room to operate, will it cause officials to take the opportunity to blackmail small landlords and yeoman farmers, but instead help big landlords take the opportunity to annex more land?" ”

"It will definitely cause chaos for a certain period of time," Zhu Ming had already raised his butcher's knife, "There are many young officials with no foundation in the Gyeonggi Road who serve as the overseer of the imperial history, and let them secretly check the implementation of this order." One can take the opportunity to train more qualified imperial historians, and they will be trained in Gyeonggi Road and then sent to the whole country to carry out missions. Second, we can take the opportunity to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and make the administration of officials in Gyeonggi Road clearer. Sanke took the opportunity to attack the big landlords in Gyeonggi, and the families with a particularly large scale were split and relocated, and the surplus land was confiscated if the scale was moderate! ”

Zhu Guoxiang said with a smile: "If this set is done, the name of the tyrant will be there." ”

"For the founding monarch, this method can only be considered mild." Zhu Ming didn't care.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "In fact, dozens of miles around Tokyo City, land annexation is not serious, and the real serious is tens of miles away. The fields of the Cao family, the Xiang family, and the Han family are also mostly dozens of miles away. ”

Zhu Ming didn't seriously investigate: "Is that so?" ”

Zhu Guoxiang nodded and said, "When I was an official in Tokyo, I had already briefly checked it. The land around Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty went through three periods: school hunting, farming, and gardening. ”

Zhu Ming listened obediently and did not interrupt.

Zhu Guoxiang said in detail: "At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, it belonged to the era of school hunting. At that time, the area was sparsely populated, and the area around Tokyo Castle was full of barren mountains and forests. At that time, displaced people were recruited for reclamation, and agriculture was very extensive, mainly producing staple grains and miscellaneous grains. ”

"After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the imperial court increased its efforts to resettle and open up wasteland. Only twenty or thirty years later, there were fewer and fewer wastelands around Tokyo, and the emperor could not find open space for school hunting. Every time there is a large-scale army review, Gyeonggi Tianfu has to be exempted because it will trample on crops. Small and medium-sized landlords around Tokyo were also created in large numbers at that time. ”

"Why is it that within a few dozen miles of Tokyo, land annexation is not too serious? Because as cities prospered, peri-urban agriculture soon entered the age of gardens. Tokyo's water transport extends in all directions, and staple grains can be purchased externally, and farmers in the suburbs have turned to the cultivation of cash crops such as flowers, fruits, and vegetables. These crops have high added value and can be sold once they are grown, and as long as there is no natural disaster, there are very few cases of farmers going bankrupt. ”

"Farmers on the outskirts of the city continue to have children, and the children continue to divide their families, resulting in a more fragmented division of the land. Even the merger of larger landlords soon separated again. High value-added cash crops allow more farmers per unit of land, and the suburbs of Tokyo are probably the most prosperous places in the country with a thriving smallholder economy. ”

"There are no big clans to touch the land on the outskirts of the city?" Zhu Ming asked.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Of course there is, but it is very difficult to do, and the impact is particularly bad. The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty gave land to Xungui's relatives, and he would also deliberately bypass the suburbs of the city and pick dozens of miles away from the fields to give away. On the contrary, the two eunuchs, Yang Jian and Li Yan, acted without scruples, and included many suburban gardens as imperial villages. ”

"What is the usual talk about land annexation on the outskirts of Beijing?" Zhu Ming said curiously.

"It was the official tuntian in the early Song Dynasty, and there were special Xiang soldiers as Tuntian soldiers," Zhu Guoxiang said, "These tuntian fields have been occupied by the nobles as private land, and the Tuntian Xiang army has long been reduced to tenants." There is no need to find any excuses, just confiscate them, they will definitely not be able to get the land deed, and all the land will be given to the local tenants. Those lands were barren in the early Song Dynasty, and they were originally reclaimed by the ancestors of the tenants. ”

Zhu Ming clapped his hands and said: "With such a multi-pronged approach, the land annexation problem of the entire Gyeonggi Road will be solved!" ”

It was really troublesome in the suburbs of Beijing, and Song Shenzong wanted to build a thousand acres of land in the south of the city, and even asked the Ministry of Rites to come forward to find an excuse.

The officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies searched for chapters and excerpts, and finally found the relevant content in the "Chinese": "Wang cultivates a mountain, and the Shu people finally have a thousand acres, and they are in the southeast of their homeland, and the bell is hidden." ”

It was necessary to build a first agricultural altar, then set up a sacred warehouse, and arrange special officials and soldiers, so that a thousand acres of Huangzhuang were finally built, and all the original peasants became tenants in the Huangzhuang. These lands are basically used to grow vegetables and fruits, which are directly supplied to the nobles in the palace.

After more than 100 years of development, different types of economic belts have emerged in the suburbs of Tokyo.

The western suburbs have a beautiful environment, a variety of fruits and flowers, and are a good place for people in the city to visit.

The eastern suburbs have developed water transportation, and there are many warehouses along the river, which are in a semi-commercial and semi-agricultural state, and a large number of vegetables are grown.

The environment in the southeast is harsh, and it has become a cemetery gathering area, and a large number of livestock are raised around.

The northern suburbs are sparsely populated, and the land has been salinized due to the flooding of the Yellow River, and there are many grasslands scattered there. A small number of pastures were used for breeding, and most of them were requisitioned by the Heavenly Supervisor and used as the territory of the royal horse farm.

The place where the most staple and supplementary grains were planted was in the southern suburbs, and the land annexation was also the most serious there, because the emperor took the lead in enclosing land there.

……

Inner Enfu Palace.

Gu San led a group of guards into the courtyard where the concubine Cao Sheng lived: "Cao Sheng, Zhao Jinnu, you can go home!" ”

Cao Sheng was overjoyed, took his wife out to greet him, and bowed down to thank him: "Thank you, General!" ”

"You don't need to thank me, you'll know when you go home." Gu San gloated.

As the couple left Yanfu Palace, other royal families, concubines, and sectarians gathered to inquire about the situation.

Cao Sheng walked halfway and was led to the East Palace, where he found that his brother Cao Yu was also there.

Cao Xi is already in his forties, and he also served as an envoy to the Liao State in his early years.

When Zhu Ming besieged the city of Tokyo, Cao Xi was the commander of the guards and the horse army, and nominally commanded Zhao Huan's personal cavalry (in fact, there were no cavalry).

"Meet the Generalissimo!"

The two kowtowed and knelt, for fear that Zhu Ming would trouble them.

Zhu Ming got straight to the point and said: "The Cao family, who have intermarried with Zhao and Song for generations, should be ...... with the country."

As soon as these words came out, the two of them turned pale with fright.

"I can give you a chance, though." Zhu Ming showed a kind smile, how terrible that smile looked.

Cao Sheng said in fear: "Please Marshal Lang Jun make it clear." ”

Zhu Ming said: "The land annexation on Gyeonggi Road is serious, especially the Cao family's land has the most property, and I plan to split the Cao family and move to various places. ”

Cao Shu explained: "The Cao family has been divided into many branches, the property and the main sect are not the same family, and the land has long been divided into more than a dozen parts, and they do not interfere with each other. ”

Zhu Ming said: "Cao Sheng is a concubine, he can take the old Song princess, get back a few original slaves, and own 300 acres of land in the southern suburbs, as well as a mansion in the southern suburbs. Cao Xi can be assigned to the Five Cities Terracotta Division, responsible for the security of two of the outer cities of Tokyo, take back a few of the original slaves, and give a house and a shop in the outer city of Tokyo. ”

The conditions are enough to pick the door, but the former dynasty nobles can have this kind of treatment, which is already very lucky.

"What are you going to do? Marshal although! Cao Sheng immediately agreed, because he was originally going to farm with the princess.

Zhu Ming said: "You two are very familiar with the Cao family, except for you, all the people of the Cao clan have left Gyeonggi Road, and at least they will move to eight counties separately to live!" This matter cooperates with Kaifeng Mansion, and the sooner it is done, the better. All the Cao family's property was left behind, and each of the Cao family made up 2 million yuan of floating wealth to hand over, and all the assets such as shops had to be confiscated, and the rest of the property was allowed to be taken to a new place. ”

Cao Yu swallowed: "This ...... I'm afraid they won't say yes. ”

"If you don't cooperate, then I'll have to send troops to raid the house," Zhu Ming threatened, "I'm trying to leave some leeway for the Cao family." ”

Cao Sheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Please marshal give me five hundred soldiers and horses!" ”

Zhu Ming nodded and smiled: "Yes." ”

Cao Xi sighed secretly: "It's enough to ask the marshal to give me a hundred soldiers and horses." ”

In order to live humbly in Tokyo, one can be a small landowner in the suburbs of Beijing in the future, and the other can be a magistrate in the outer city in the future, and they respectively led the army to find trouble with the Cao clan.

The soldiers and horses went out in all directions, intimidating and coaxing, forcing the Cao clan to hand over their mansions, shops, floating wealth, and land.

A few people who were unwilling to cooperate, and the family was directly caught and thrown into Dali Temple!

Next is the Xiang family and the Han family, the same routine, the same treatment.

"Your family's mansion can be preserved," Zhu Ming said to Han Zhao, "If you confiscate all the shops of the Han family, you can choose one and keep it for yourself." Except for your parents and brothers, the rest of the Han family must all leave Gyeonggi Road! ”

Han Zhao took the errand hard: "Yes!" ”

He is really lucky, he used to follow Qian Chen to fight cocks and lackeys, and he had a good relationship with Zhu Ming, and he also went to Goolan to listen to the play together.

Before the beginning of spring, the three wealthy families of Gyeonggi Road were forced to migrate.

In order to prevent them from being in a group in the future, no more than twenty people in each group should be involved, and they should be separated by at least three counties from each other.

It was not too bloody, but it was executed extremely harshly, which frightened the old Song officials.

Of course, everyone didn't think about splitting up the big households, purely because they felt that these three families were too deeply involved with Zhao Song, so it would arouse the jealousy of the Zhu family and his son.

Next year, it will continue to be split, and the ones in Luoyang will also be together!
