"Slow down, adult!"

Hu Zhao chased behind, Sha Xuan walked in front, and the speed became faster and faster.

Sha Xuan: I don't listen to Wang Ba's recitation.

Hu Zhao: What does the matter of the long house have to do with the old man, the old man is dying of exhaustion.

Nanchang City.

The Hu family, who has always been low-key, actually chased Jinyiwei from the east of the city to the west of the city.

Hu Zhao was already tired and lay down, and was chased by someone on a stretcher.

The whole city of Nanchang knows about it.

It didn't take long for rumors to spread in Nanchang Mansion, and Hu Yan's descendants bowed their knees to Jinyi Wei Nuyan, spineless.

The reputation of the Hu family will be affected.

Sha Xuan was also so tired that his legs were filled with lead, but he didn't deliberately lead Hu Zhao to the city, but he was trying to save himself.

If he can't clean up the Hu family, he will not be able to do it well, and he will inevitably lose Jin Zhong's trust.

"Mrs. Hu, do you want to borrow your head?"

While resting in the cold, Sha Xuan suddenly approached Hu Zhao who was lying on the stretcher.

Hu Zhao's face changed suddenly: "My lord." ”

"My Hu family will never dare to obstruct Jinyiwei's case."

"You can look up whatever you want."

"The old man asked you to go to the Hu family to check, and you can check whoever you want."

He got up from the stretcher, approached Sha Xuan, and said straight to the point: "Admiral Jin dealt with my Hu family because he thought that my Hu family was an eyesore. ”

"My Hu family is willing to pay 100,000 taels of confession silver."

"Then the whole family thought about it behind closed doors, Admiral Jin was in Jiangxi for a day, and the Hu family didn't go out for a day."

"What do you think?"

This is a private grant, a private negotiation of conditions.

Sha Xuan looked at his face: "It's better to have your head." ”

Hu Zhao's tears flowed out: "Although it is my wish to accompany my father, it is not beneficial to adults......"

"Speak human words!" Sahyun didn't understand.

Hu Zhao smiled bitterly: "Then Mingren doesn't say dark words." ”

"Admiral Jin sent you, ostensibly to investigate the ordnance case, but in fact to investigate the smuggling case."

"The Hu family has some connections in Nanchang Mansion, and they will help the adults find out, and the Hu family is also willing to take the initiative to pay the confession silver."

"Our Hu family is also willing to split into two branches, one to go to Guangxi and the other to Hunan."

"In this way, Admiral Jin will see your ability to do things, and he will naturally vigorously promote you."

"And the Hu family is willing to give you the filial piety you deserve."

As soon as he mentioned the money, Sha Xuan's eyes lit up.

But this money has a life to take and not to spend.

He had tried all the ways to save himself, but it seemed to be ineffective.

"Say something you don't like to hear."

"The Hu family's protégés and former officials are all over the world, you can force the Hu family to bow their heads temporarily, but what are the consequences?"

"Think about it, once you die, Admiral Jin is really willing to bear the consequences?"

Hu Zhao's tone was full of temptation: "Why don't you check for the time being, send a fast boat to Hukou to pay for Admiral Mingjin, Nanchang is only two days away from Hukou, and it won't be delayed for long." ”

Sahyun was really moved.

But!

Does he have a choice?

He thought about it all the way, for several hours, but he didn't think about where his life was.

It's better to die happily and have a future for your son!

Burst!

Sha Xuan suddenly pulled out his waist knife and slashed at Hu Zhao's chest.

Then, stepping on Hu Zhao's chest, he was going to chop off Hu Zhao's head.

Hu Jiahu realized it later, surrounded Sha Xuan, and didn't dare to do anything to Sha Xuan, because he was a Jinyi guard.

If they dare to draw a sword against Jinyiwei, they are rebelling!

Sha Xuan knew that he would die, so he waited for the Hu family to hack him to death, and the Hu family drew a knife, and he promised not to resist.

As a result, Hu Jiahu was never a fool, and no one moved.

Not only Hu Jiahu was confused, but Jinyiwei was also confused, and Sha Xuan was taking it to death.

"Let's go, go to Hu's house!"

From the moment he killed Hu Zhao, Sha Xuan had no choice.

And the news reached the governor's mansion.

Ma Jin was taken aback: "This Sha Xuan is crazy? ”

"It's broken!"

"Jin Zhong is going to clean Jiangxi with blood, he can't wait."

Could it be that because the Jiangxi blockade has been too long, the emperor has run out of patience?

Ma Jin sits in Jiangxi, as we all know, Jiangxi is complicated, and it is extremely difficult to supervise.

Jin Zhong proposed a plea silver project, and there was a lot of opposition at first.

thinks that Jin Yiwei disregarded the vision of the people, forcibly seized the people's fat and people's ointment, and even scolded the emperor.

But Jin Zhong was in Guangxin Mansion, and although he forced the big family to dissect the Jinyi Guard, he gave hope to the Shu family, and the Shu people in the major families were not very obedient.

All the families in Jiangxi immediately shut up, thinking that it was not bad to pay the confession money.

However, Kim Zhong changed his strategy again.

Ma Jin hesitates now, if he goes to the Hu family again, it is equivalent to him standing in line with Hu Yan, Jin Zhong will not do anything to him, but what will the emperor sitting on the Fengtian Palace think?

He was promoted from the grassroots level, all thanks to His Majesty's unique vision and entrusted with important tasks, so that he was young to supervise a province, which is all His Majesty's kindness.

Saying that he is not an imperialist party, no one believes it.

So, he can't betray his own class.

"Come on, prepare the carriage and horses!"

Ma Jin stood up: "Yang Xin captured more than 300,000 displaced people in Jianchang Mansion, and this governor will personally resettle the displaced people, and all the reports in Jiangxi will be sent to Jianchang Mansion." ”

He didn't dare to stay in Nanchang Mansion anymore.

simply left Nanchang Mansion and tossed with Jin Zhong.

And Sha Xuan carried Hu Zhao's head and came to Hu's house.

Put the knife on Hu Xi's neck.

Investigate arms smuggling cases.

And the news has reached Hukou, and Jin Zhong's face showed a look of satisfaction: "Sha Xuan sacrificed himself for righteousness, and this governor intends to take his two sons and one daughter as righteous children, all of which are righteous to him." ”

"Yan Fang, this governor personally sits in Nanchang Mansion!"

"You are in this Jiujiang Mansion!"

"All families, according to the size of the family estate, pay twice the confession silver, regardless of the reason!"

"Then the family divided the property and divided into three veins, one vein moved to Hunan, one vein moved to Guangxi, and one vein stayed locally."

"This governor will send a few more people to Ruizhou Mansion, Yuanzhou Mansion, Linjiang Mansion, and Fuzhou Mansion, and implement it according to one standard!"

"Within three months, the confession money paid will be sent to Jingshi without the slightest delay!"

That's right.

Jin Zhong received a secret order from the emperor, urging him to hurry up.

He has cleaned up Raozhou Mansion, Ji'an Mansion and Guangxin Mansion, and Jianchang Mansion has cleaned up half of it.

Wait for these provinces to be cleared.

He will personally sit in Ganzhou Mansion, and then clean up Ganzhou Mansion, Jianchang Mansion and Nan'an Mansion.

This year, before the river freezes, it must be completely ploughed.

"Admiral, the Hu family ......," Yan Fang asked cautiously.

"Since you have done it, you must do it!"

Jin Zhong's eyes were fierce: "Leave one incense to worship Hu Yan, and the rest will be killed!" ”

"However, the evidence must be collected completely, and the center must not be allowed to find faults."

As for whether Hu Yan's descendants are guilty or not.

It doesn't matter.

Jinyiwei wants to use the Hu family to clean the entire Nanchang Mansion, and then clean the northern part of Jiangxi.

Cut the Gordian knot.

Jin Zhong boarded the ship, quickly wrote a report on the boat, and sent it out of Jiangxi.

By the time Zhu Qiyu received Jin Zhong's report, it was already late June.

The Hu Yan family was killed for unwarrantedness, causing an uproar in the government and the opposition.

The officials played more, asking the emperor to depose the factory guards and severely punish Jin Zhong and Chen Wuyang.

The people lost control, and all kinds of newspapers insulted Jin Zhong and scolded Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei in various places was not very happy.

Even with Dongchang, the governor of the city, and the patrol camp, they also ate melons.

"Jin Zhong, you can make trouble for me."

Zhu Qiyu now has a good relationship with the courtiers, and it is when the monarchs and ministers are working together to carry out construction, but Jin Zhong has made a moth for him.

made the courtiers lose their sense of security.

Hu Yan is a famous minister, a descendant of a famous minister, but he was liquidated by the emperor.

Can you not make the ministers in the Fengtian Temple frightened?

This kind of thing has set a precedent, who will be good in the future?

Even Hu Hu no longer supported the emperor.

"How's the silver exchange?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.

"Back to the emperor, the silver coins that are shipped to the shop every day are sold out as soon as they are sold, and now the silver coins are in short supply."

Feng Xiao didn't understand, what does Jin Zhong have to do with silver coins?

"How much silver has been transported into Beijing in Jiangxi?"

Feng Xiao understood that without Jin Zhong's supply of silver, silver coins would not be issued at all.

"Although Chen Wuyang is guilty, how much silver did Nan Zhili send?"

After Wang Hong slashed Cheng Tong in Fengtian Temple.

This luck is silver every day.

Nowadays, the warehouses of the household and the inner treasury are piled up with silver.

According to the secret recitals of Jin Zhong and Wang Hong.

In total, you will get 300 million taels of silver.

How much silver does Daming have in total?

"Emperor, but those scholars outside don't know the difficulties of the court." Feng Xiao said cautiously.

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Since you don't know suffering, let them suffer." ”

"Go and announce the courtiers."

Feng Xiao kowtowed and immediately went to Xuan.

At this hour, the important ministers of the cabinet were all working in the palace, and when they heard the edict, they immediately entered the palace of nourishing the heart.

Hu Hui's body recovered as before, and he began to deal with the government again.

However, Yu Qian's health was not very good, and the emperor ordered him to rest and bathe, and there was no time limit.

"Your Majesty!" Hu Hu and others knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Qiyu slowly raised his head: "Do you still know that I am the emperor?" ”

The courtier's heart jumped, in order to protect Jin Zhong, you won't be like this, right?

"I thought I had forgotten everything?"

"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, even if you forget who you are, you don't dare to forget your identity!" Hu Hu smiled bitterly.

Yao Kui shrank behind, or the old lady, you should be the first bird.

"Jin Zhong arrested Hu Yan's descendants, and the people of the world actually poked my backbone, what is the reason?"

Zhu Qiyu said unhappily: "What does Jin Zhong's crime have to do with me?" ”

"When my knife edge is unfavorable? Or am I the Prince of Weakness? ”

"Spit on me?"

Jin Zhong is your slave, he represents you in everything he says and does, he makes mistakes, of course he looks for you.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister!"

Hu Hu smiled bitterly: "The old minister doesn't say that what Admiral Jin did was right or wrong. ”

"Just talk about the merits of Hu Gong first."

"Your Majesty cares for all the people, wants the people of the world to be able to afford to read, and intends to invest a lot of money in the center to establish education."

"And the first Hu Gong is the forerunner of education and a model in the teachings."

"Your Majesty is now angry with the people of the world and speaking out for the descendants of Duke Hu."

"Isn't this just the predecessors planting trees and the later people enjoying the shade? It is precisely because of the first Hu Gong's teaching to all the people that the wax torch turned to ashes and tears began to dry, so he received a lot of help. ”

Hu Hu means that if the emperor wants to attach importance to education, he must set up a signboard for education, and Hu Yan is a golden signboard.

Jin Zhong tore up the gold signboard because of small profits.

Isn't it right to be scolded?

"Then Hu Zhao and Hu Xi, building armaments and selling them outside, can such people escape responsibility? Just because his father and ancestor were Hu Yan? ”

Zhu Qiyu buttoned the basin first.

Hu Hu rolled his eyes, this is what you are doing, if Jin Zhong really comes up with evidence, it will not be boiling in the government and the opposition.

The key is that Jin Zhong has no evidence, so he killed directly.

This is a broken rule, so everyone is at risk.

"Zhuqing, do you know how much silver Jin Zhong will send to the center this year?" Zhu Qiyu saw that the ministers did not think so, and directly talked about interests.

"Your Majesty, you can't lose people's hearts because of small profits!"

Yao Kui said loudly: "Admiral Jin has indeed solved the urgent needs of the country, but the prince of heaven and earth is the foundation of the country. ”

"If you give up the foundation because of small profits, and the people are not attached to the people in the future, how will they survive tomorrow?"

His words aroused the support of the courtiers.

Money is important, and "righteousness" is even more important.

"Hundreds of millions of taels of silver, it is a small profit in Yao Qing's mouth, so you will get this money for me?"

Zhu Qiyu said compassionately: "How much is the annual income of Daming tax? ”

"Raise troops to build cities, cure the Yellow River, reform the currency system, what kind of money is not needed?"

"There is no money, you Yao Kui told me, what can I do?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister did not say that money is not important, but that righteousness is more important!" Yao Kui felt that the emperor was secretly changing concepts.

Zhu Qiyu is tough: "Hu Yan is a teacher for many people and a generation of celebrities. ”

"But his reputation allows his descendants to do whatever they want?"

"If that's the case, Yang Shiqi shouldn't have returned to his hometown back then, his son was nothing more than killing someone in his hometown, what is the matter?"

It's crooked again.

"Your Majesty, these are two different things." Yao Kui smiled bitterly.

"It's one thing for me to see it."

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "If Jin Zhong can't come up with evidence, I will immediately order him to be executed, and if he comes up with evidence, Hu Yan will raid his family and exterminate his family!" ”

The courtier was taken aback.

The emperor's fundamental purpose is to deal with Hu Yan's descendants?

No, what benefits can the emperor get from dealing with Hu Zhao and others?

The emperor's purpose was ...... Literati!

"The people are open-minded, and after reading and reading, they don't serve the country, and they insult the monarch's father!"

"I think it's the other way around!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "They can live, it was my ancestors who established the Ming Dynasty, so that their ancestors could live!" They can read, I sheltered them and gave them a good life! ”

"As a result, instead of working for me, he secretly scolded me?"

"Won't I kill people?"

The emperor's purpose is to be a man of the world!

Civil officials fight against imperial power, relying not only on the power in their hands, but also on the mouths of the people in the world!

The mouths of the people of the world will always occupy the moral high ground.

No matter what the emperor did right or wrong, as long as they offended them, they could spray the emperor to death with spitting stars and spray the emperor like a dog.

Zhu Qiyu has always taken power.

But the literati's mouth can't be put away, after all, the elder's mouth can't cut everyone's tongue, right?

"Your Majesty is angry!" The courtiers were horrified.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu is strong, and Wenchen is not desperate, because Zhu Qiyu is not immortal, and he will die sooner or later.

As long as civil officials do not lose their pens and do not lose the mouths of the subordinates.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu dies, the civilian clique will be in power again.

Imperial power cannot suppress the lips and tongues of the people in the world.

"I can't quench my anger!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Spread the decree, change the patrol and capture camp to the black ice platform, and the official position will not change." ”

"The Black Ice Platform controls the news of the world."

"Once discovered, there are literati who insult the monarch's father, and they will all ...... Went to the frontier to serve for three years. ”

"I am not a tyrannical king, I will not execute them, nor will I disqualify them from participating in the imperial examination, but I will take care of their foul mouth."

"Let the people of the world, don't sit at home and talk nonsense! I don't know the suffering of the people, I don't know the suffering of the frontier! ”

"They are ordered to go to the frontiers and garrisons, they can participate in major military and political affairs, they can serve as staff members, they can serve as grassroots officers, and they can serve as grassroots officials, and there are no restrictions."

"Let them go and see, it's not easy for me, this monarch father!"

"Look at it, how difficult it is for the people of Daming to live!"

"Don't know for a day that you have a mouth and spray feces!"

The courtiers were frightened.

Then it turned into ecstasy.

This is an expansion of the authority of the literati.

If a literati go to the frontier for three years of training, become a staff member of a military general, or go deep into the grassroots, they can not only gain fame, but also participate in real politics.

In this way, the court will add a group of available ministers.

At the same time, the authority of the literati expanded.

What a punishment is this, this is a reward!

Wait a minute!

This is an imitation of the Tang Dynasty system, many literati in the Tang Dynasty went to the feudal town to serve as a staff member, is the emperor dissatisfied with the border generals, and wants to mix sand in the team of border generals?

Pressing force with literature?

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The courtiers were all human spirits and immediately saw the benefits.

"Listen to me."

The ministers were looking at the emperor, and the emperor was also looking at the ministers, he said coldly: "These people, only give one chance, if there is a second time, I will be divided into five horses, and his family will be reduced to a craftsman, and he will never be allowed to take the imperial examination!" ”

"Your Majesty has given the sinners a chance, and if they still don't repent, they should be dealt with again!" Geng Jiuchou stood on the emperor's side and spoke.

Yao Kui wanted to speak and stopped, and Wang Fu gave him a look.

Just click to the end, don't say more.

"Zhuqing, when the time comes, there will be people who will not change their ways, but don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Many families in Jiangxi have broken down their property, and according to the Jinyi Wei report, these families are even richer than me. ”

"But they are actually unkind to the rich, they refuse to help the township, and they have not built bridges to build roads, and there are even more than 300,000 displaced people in Jianchang Prefecture, most of whom refuse to be tenants and have escaped as displaced people."

"Tell me, who stole their fields?"

The courtier did not answer.

"I say for you, this is the one you keep."

"I know your mind."

"It's nothing more than boiling me to death, and the civil officials will raise their heads again, after all, you didn't hurt your muscles and bones, and I kept expanding your power and boosting your strength in order to expand the power of the Han people."

"When I lived, you curled up."

"But when I die, the imperial power will be lost."

Can you say this casually?

The courtiers were so frightened that they kept kowtowing.

"I don't need to explain, I can see through it."

Zhu Qiyu was also helpless.

This is a question of the system and a question of people's hearts.

From the moment Emperor Taizong reused the civil ministers, he was doomed to the civil official chaos.

The Han people are good at infighting in their bones, the literati and the warriors fight, the emperor and the clan fight, and when the warriors are gone, the literati and the literati continue to fight, and there is never a time to stop.

"But have you thought about it?"

"I and you will be at the helm of the ship of Daming."

"This ship will sink one day sooner or later, and when this ship sinks, do you want to change to a new master? Or do you want to tinker and continue to maintain the ship? ”

It's a heart-wrenching question.

Whoever dares to say that he wants to change his new master, he naturally has to show loyalty.

"All I can do is make this ship sail longer."

Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I ploughed the Qing Dynasty, and I analyzed the big family, why?" ”

"It's not about alleviating land annexation, making the people fair, rehousing more displaced people, expanding the living space of the Han people, making the court clear and the people living better."

"It's just to let this ship continue to move."

"Huh."

"When this ship sinks and gets a new one, will people be able to reuse you?"

"You are human only under my hands; If you change your master, can you still be a person? ”

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Yao Kui, you say!" ”

"The old minister is loyal to His Majesty, and he has a deep love for Daming, and he is willing to use everything to maintain the normal navigation of the ship of Daming." Yao Kui kowtowed.

"But you're protecting the rats on this ship."

"They are eating my boat, sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and digging the roots of the Ming Dynasty!"

"How much money do you Yao Kui have in his family?"

"Do you have tens of millions of taels of silver?"

"But their family has, not one or two, many big families in Jiangxi have millions of taels of silver in their families!"

"Where did they get so much money?"

"Where did it come from?"

"Did you save it? I am the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how much money do I have? ”

"How did you get here? Do you explain it thoroughly? ”

Zhu Qiyu suddenly roared: "Shouldn't such a person be killed?" Shouldn't it be killed? ”

"There are tens of millions of people in the world!"

"What will they do if they don't even have enough to eat? Rebellion! I have to rebel in order to fill my stomach! ”

"But these people, there are millions or tens of millions of taels of silver at home!"

"If they give some of the money and give the people a good meal, will there be chaos in this world?"

"Do you want to use me as a tyrant to kill people?"

"Will the ship sink in Daming?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce: "Zhuqing, if the ship of Daming sinks, what should I do?" I can die, but how can I face my ancestors and ancestors? ”

"Emperor Taizu scolded me, how should I answer?"

"Emperor Taizong asked me, how should I tell myself?"

"You tell me, how do I tell my great-grandfather, my great-grandfather, my grandfather, my father! Tell the Holy Masters of the past dynasties that I am incompetent and have lost my ancestors! ”

"I am not the king of the fallen country!"

"There is no shame to be the king of the dead country!"

"Then you say, what should I do?"

Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up and stood in front of Hu Hui: "I said, Jin Zhong killed the right one!" Well done! ”

"Whoever dares to let me be the king of the fallen country, I will let whoever the ten clans perish!"

The courtiers were frightened.

This matter has risen to the level of the death of the country, which shows that this matter is not discussed, and the emperor will not listen to anyone's opinion.

"Message!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "All the big families in Jiangxi, the big families with a property of 1,000 taels of silver and more than 10 people must be separated!" ”

"Divide by real population."

"Counting the women, there are less than ten people in Dingkou, and they are divided into two families, one family stays in their hometown, and the other family immigrates to Guangxi."

"Those with 10 to 20 people in Dingkou are divided into three households, one family stays in their hometown, one family immigrates to Hunan, and one family immigrates to Guangxi."

"Those with 20 to 30 people in Dingkou are divided into four households, one family stays in their hometown, one family immigrates to Hunan, one family immigrates to Guangxi, and one family immigrates to Guangdong."

"Those who have 30 to 40 people in Dingkou are divided into five households, one family stays in their hometown, one family immigrates to Hunan, one family immigrates to Guangxi, one family immigrates to Guangdong, and one family immigrates to Fujian."

It keeps increasing, splitting into six, seven, eight, and so on.

Guizhou, Yunnan and Gansu were added.

"After splitting the number of households, the property must be divided, and the family property must be divided equally, and Jinyiwei is responsible for supervision, as long as the confession silver is paid, Jinyiwei is not allowed to take a stitch or thread!"

Zhu Qiyu is an immigrant, not to swallow up all his family property.

As long as the family property, the lineage and the lineage are evenly divided, and then the property is divided into parts, and then immigrated to the past, everyone will become a small family.

This is the safest way, if he really fights the local tyrants and divides the land, he will not be able to sit on the throne.

No one in the courtiers dared to persuade them, and they could not persuade them.

"After immigration, the land is redivided!"

"The millions of displaced people who have been cleared out of Jiangxi and whose families are still alive will be sent back to their hometowns, given an equal share of acres of land, and exempted from taxes for five years."

"Those who have no family can move to Guangdong and Fujian, divide more acres of land, build houses, and be exempted from taxes for ten years."

Jiangxi really doesn't clean up, I don't know.

Yang Xin cleared out nearly 100,000 displaced people in Raozhou Mansion and Guangxin Mansion, more than 300,000 in Jianchang Mansion, and more than 300,000 in Ganzhou Mansion.

Together with the displaced people in other provinces, it has exceeded one million people.

These people are black households that are not registered in the household register.

"Tell Ma Jin that in the winter, they must be properly settled, the land is settled, the government gives them seeds, and then lends them a sum of grain, and then pays it off in installments when they have planted the land."

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Tell Ma Jin, who dares to stop him, use my Son of Heaven Sword, kill him!" ”

"The people of Jiangxi who have been relocated must be properly resettled when they arrive in Liangguang, Hunan, and Fujian."

"This year's Jingcha will take this as the most important performance review."

In the two capitals and 17 provinces, more than 11 million displaced people have been cleared out this year.

At present, Hubei, Hunan and Shandong are the majority.

But according to Wang Chengshang's note, the most common estimate is that of Nanzhili, who estimates that there are more than 2 million to 3 million displaced people.

There are also tenants who have lost their household registration.

The population figures of the Ming Dynasty do not include tenants.

Zhu Qiyu estimates that the number of people living in the Ming Dynasty is more than 100 million.

This frightened him terribly.

50 million people have no household registration, and tens of millions of displaced people, if these people rebel, the world will be overturned in an instant.

What frightened him even more was that Da Ming was already too crowded and had little land, and he didn't feel that there was a shortage of food before.

As a result, only after counting the population did we know that Daming was in a serious food crisis, and he must urgently solve the food problem, otherwise Daming's huge population would be a powder keg.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The courtiers didn't expect that the emperor, who was angry, ended up talking about political affairs.

A bit caught off guard.

"I am not holy at all, if I am holy, how can I be displaced everywhere?"

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "More than 10 million displaced people, I am sitting on the Fengtian Palace, all in a cold sweat. ”

"You're still avenging Hu Yan!"

"Was he wronged?"

"How many of the more than 10 million displaced people in Jiangxi are the credit of his Hu family?"

"It's alive, and how many are dead?"

"How much blood debt does his Hu family have? Is it done? ”

"If these are made public, it is not an exaggeration for me to dig up Hu Yan's grave!"

The courtier's face was bitter, anyway, you have a mouth, saying that whoever is good is good, and whoever is bad is bad.

"Aren't those literati moral gentlemen?"

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I want to issue an order to abolish slavery, and anyone who can speak Chinese will never be a slave!" ”

"No matter what way, as long as you are a slave, the containment house will be beheaded!"

The courtier's face changed sharply.

That's a big deal!

Emperor Taizu had issued a decree back then, so the slaves and maids disappeared and were replaced by family members, righteous sons and daughters, but with a different name.

"Your Majesty, you still need to think twice about this matter." Hu Hu persuaded bitterly.

"Those literati who claim to be moral gentlemen, why do they ignore the laws of the court? Why do you insult the people and make them slaves? ”

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "When I look at these people, I am lenient with my own standards, but I am strict with my standards!" ”

Proper double standard dog!

You can double mark me, and I can double mark you.

"I have made up my mind, and I will pass on the decree immediately!"

"Before the end of the year, everyone in the world will release slaves, and all the deeds will be invalid!"

"If the main family forcibly retains the tenants, the householders, or the righteous sons and daughters, the tenants, the householders, and the righteous sons can beat the main family to death and be exempted from the guilt!"

Hiss!

The courtier gasped.

This was the emperor's counterattack.

Dig up the roots of the gentry of the world!

Why did the gentry of the world control ninety percent of the land? Isn't it just turning the people into tenants, or rather, they are tenants, but in fact they are serfs.

"Your Majesty, this matter is too big, it still needs to be discussed by the courtiers, and you can't jump to conclusions for a while!"

Hu Hu persuaded bitterly.

The courtiers all kowtowed and persuaded one after another.

Look, I dig up your roots, don't you want to?

You dug up the roots of Daming, why didn't you ask me, were you unhappy, and didn't agree?

Zhu Qiyu stopped talking.

The courtiers glanced at each other, and could only advise Hu Hu:

"Your Majesty, Han'er is not a slave, it is a good thing for the country and the people."

"But Shengming, like Emperor Taizu, is also implemented step by step."

"Lao Chen only said a few things, how can the slaves you freed be self-sufficient? Where will they get the surplus land and give it to them? How do they survive? ”

"Also, when large families release tenants, how can the abandoned land be cultivated? If you don't grow land, where will you get food? ”

"From small to large, if the land of the whole country is abandoned on a large scale, there will be a famine in the Ming Dynasty."

"Once there is a famine, those slaves who have been released by Your Majesty will resent Your Majesty, and the people of the world will also follow suit and complain about Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has done a good thing and a bad thing, isn't he wronged?"

Hu Hu persuaded bitterly.

The courtiers also said that rashly releasing the slaves would do more harm than good.

If you want to free slaves, you must ensure that there is sufficient land distribution first, that the land is not abandoned, and at the same time, that the common livelihood of large families and slaves must be ensured.

Wang Fu suddenly said: "Your Majesty's move, is it because you want to replace the Han people with foreign slaves?" ”

The much-discussed Heart Nourishing Hall suddenly fell silent.

What the emperor said was that Han'er was not a slave.

Didn't you say that big families are not allowed to use slaves?

Hu Hui's face changed: "Your Majesty wants to use the people of Annan to replace tenants, families, righteous sons and daughters, etc.?" ”

"Old lady, in your eyes, am I the faint king who doesn't know the severity?" Zhu Qiyu asked rhetorically.

Can freeing slaves be a matter of words?

There's a lot of stake involved.

Believe it or not, if he issued a decree, the gentry of the world would not look at it, and if it was enforced, his throne would be subverted in an instant.

"The old minister is guilty, and the old minister is guilty!" Hu Hu kowtowed.

The point is, you're getting too scary!

It looks like you want to eat people, and of course you think that you want to free the slaves and cut off the roots of the gentry.

It's a big deal.

At the helm with the emperor are not only courtiers, but also gentry all over the world.

These gentry can't do good things, they eat the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty and dig up the roots of the Ming Dynasty, but they are all good at it.

"Wang Qing knows me best!"

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Da Ming is a gentry who is successful, and a gentry who is defeated." ”

"If I move, will you still support me?"

That's too blunt.

All officials are representatives of the gentry, and their family is the largest gentry in the area, who will harm others and benefit themselves?

"The slave release order is imperative!"

"Han'er is not a slave, I will edict the world, so that everyone in the world will say this, Han'er is not a slave! Never be a slave! ”

"But I want to change the ancestral system and allow the people to keep slaves."

"But there is one article, those who can speak Han are Han'er, never slaves, not allowed to raise, and those who can raise are capital crimes from the twelfth year of Jingtai!"

It is now the ninth year of Jingtai, the end of June.

That is to say, Jingtai began to implement it in the twelfth year.

It took three years to give the big families time to capture slaves, and also to give the Han slaves time to adapt to the new life, and the court should also be properly settled.

"The source of slaves, let the people want to go by themselves, anyway, I allow slaves, there are many natural slaves and maids, those cheap maids, give them a mouthful of food to eat, it is already a blessing of God, why don't you use it?"

Yao Kui wanted to speak and stopped.

"Yao Qing, say!" Zhu Qiyu said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister said something that shouldn't be said!"

Yao Kui kowtowed and said solemnly: "You can suppress the gentry of the world with your power." ”

"But the kings of the future may not be able to."

"At that time, Han'er will not be a slave, I am afraid that it will become an empty word."

"So the old minister suggested that the center should not change the ancestral system, just the acquiescence of the people, and there is no need to write it on the law."

That said, don't get things done.

Give posterity an excuse.

The ancestral system is the moral high ground in the Ming Dynasty, and it is because the courtiers have mastered this commanding heights that they control the emperor everywhere.

Yao Kui is thinking from the perspective of the emperor.

In the same way, he did not want the emperor to destroy the ancestral system.

"What Yao Qing said is very true."

Zhu Qiyu appreciated.

When he got the imperial power, he broke a lot of ancestral systems, and he didn't do to others what he didn't want to do to others, and he couldn't leave too many ancestral systems for future generations.

The ancestral system is used to be crooked, and it must be adhered to.

"Speaking of which, I want to encourage the slave trade to rise."

Zhu Qiyu said very bluntly: "The situation in Annan, Zhuqing should know." ”

"It is the rainy season in Annam, and Guangxi has only arrested a group of people, about 50,000 people, and is plowing the mountain roads of 100,000 mountains, and several roads have been opened."

"But the slaves are also depleted."

"These slaves are very useful, and they don't care if they live or die."

"If I have a million slaves, I can complete the construction of the entire Mobei this year, and if I have five million slaves, I can cure the Yellow River within a year."

Isn't it worth exchanging the dry bones of five million people for a perfect Yellow River?

It's so fragrant.

"In the same way, there will be fewer people in Annam, and I will be able to move the Han people to the past to enrich the population, and Annam will completely become my handsome."

Zhu Qiyu thought beautifully: "I will never repeat the mistakes of the Yongle Dynasty again." ”

Yao Kui said: "Your Majesty, although the slaves are easy to use, they also need to eat, if the Central Plains adds six million slaves, how much food will they have to eat?" ”

"Moreover, as soon as your slave release order comes out, a large number of people will inevitably be released."

"Coupled with the displaced people who have been cleaned up, Lao Chen estimates that the population who can speak Chinese will be more than 100 million."

"There are so many people, how do you fill your stomach?"

There are good and bad.

Complement one another.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "If Jiaozhi and North Korea can provide food to the center, how many people can they feed?" And the whole Mobei, growing grain and animal husbandry, how many things can be produced? ”

"Yao Qing, there is great power in numbers, and the reason why the Han people will not be destroyed after experiencing Meng Yuan is because there are enough Han people."

"When I clear out Yungui again, how much arable land can I release?"

"When the Yellow River is completely cured and the water system is connected, Guanzhong, Henan, Beizhili, and Shandong have become big granaries again. Even if there were 50 million more people in the Central Plains, so what? ”

"With the vast land of the Ming Dynasty, can't you still support this little people?"

"If not!"

"I will take these people to expand the territory and go abroad to eat!"

Yao Kui still has to argue.

Zhu Qiyu has made up his mind: "Capturing slaves is also a process of sinicization, and after a few years, they will speak Chinese, and they will become the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Sinicization is to kill a nation into a minority, and then turn the rest into slaves, make them speak and learn Chinese, quickly sinicize, and finally wait for the next generation to completely forget their own language and history, and they will become new Han people.

After a few generations, it was completely inseparable from the Han people.

"Alright, I've made up my mind."

"The cabinet drafted the slave release order, which was implemented in Jingtai in 12 years, during which the people were allowed to arrest non-Han slaves."

"The local political departments distributed acres, farm tools, and seeds to the released people, and even settled their families and livelihoods."

"If there is really no land to divide in the locality, you can migrate to the nearest place as appropriate, and you must not disturb the newly released people."

"At the beginning of the first month of the twelfth year of Jingtai, all the deeds are invalid!"

"The captured slaves will be issued by the court, and the Han people will never be issued slaves, and they will never be issued!"

Zhu Qiyu insisted on this very much, and he also had to repair the law and add this article.

However, the release of slaves is contradictory to the population explosion and food shortage.

Zhu Qiyu also felt helpless.

The arrest of foreign slaves was imperative.

How much can you catch by relying on the court to capture slaves?

We have to let the people of the world catch it.

The slave industry would have sprung up in an instant.

The capture of slaves will also promote the rise of shipping, and the rise of shipping will naturally lead to the rise of maritime trade, which is a good thing.

"Get up."

After kneeling for half an hour, Zhu Qiyu asked the courtiers to get up.

The emperor took advantage of his anger to do several great things.

Speaking of which, the emperor earned it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The courtier kowtowed and rubbed his legs.

"Give a seat."

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the side wall of the Heart Cultivation Palace: "In the future, a row of seats will be set up here, and the courtiers can sit here and discuss political affairs with me." ”

"There are also seats in the side hall, and courtiers can sit."

The courtiers were stunned, the emperor was elevating the power of his ministers, which was a good thing.

As long as the emperor doesn't say that he is angry, the courtiers will have a better life.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!" The courtiers kowtowed.

"In the spring, I purchased 1.2 million saplings from all over the world and planted them in Gyeonggi, what is the survival rate now?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Back to Your Majesty."

This matter originally belonged to the Department of Agriculture, but the Department of Agriculture had just been formed, so it was managed by the Ministry of Industry. ”

"In the past, there was no green in Beijing, but after summer this year, Beijing is a little more lush."

"After a few years, when the trees have grown, the capital will return to the same as when the capital was first moved."

Maang's words aroused the consent of the courtiers.

Specifically, he will ask the officials of the Ministry of Industry to send it to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Zhuqing must remember that Daming protects Er, etc., and also pays attention to protecting Daming."

Zhu Qiyu made a pun: "One grass and one tree, after the people benefit, they must be protected." ”

"The Department of Agriculture should pay attention to the matter of planting trees."

"It must be planted every year, and the entire north must be planted, especially in Henan, Shandong, Beizhili, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, which are seriously damaged."

"It is necessary to plant trees on a large scale, protect aquatic plants, and protect the Ming Dynasty."

"There is also water, which must be protected, not destroyed at will, and the Ministry of Rites must formulate a set of regulations to protect the water source."

Zhu Qiyu's words have deep meaning.

The courtiers listened, as if they were reminding them that they couldn't eat Daming's, but they smashed Daming's pot.

"The ministers know it!" The courtiers bowed.
