Chapter 357: There is a drought in the Central Plains
"And as long as you and the princes keep their mouths shut, this plan will not expose the risk."
"The minister is just worried, if some gentry children who miss the former Yuan make great contributions in the battle to exterminate the remnants of the Northern Yuan, how will they be dealt with at that time?"
It's a disgusting thing, but it's a possibility.
After all, cavalry is very easy to make achievements on the battlefield.
If that's happening at that time.
Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not pinch his nose and give a reward to the other party.
But if you turn your face and don't recognize people, I'm afraid that the ranch matter will be ruined at that time.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and also felt that this matter was a big problem.
He wanted to discuss a suitable solution with everyone.
But suddenly he glanced at Liu Sanwu again and asked, "I don't know what Liu Aiqing can do?" ”
Liu Sanwu is waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
He immediately nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the only way to deal with the remnants of the former Yuan is to kill them to get rid of future troubles." ”
"Before recruiting, you can ask the lieutenants of the Governor's Mansion to investigate their identities and divide them into two classes from the ordinary gentry."
"For their training, they can relax as much as they can, and when they are on a mission, they should be sent to their deaths, and there is absolutely no mercy."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard Liu Sanwu's murderous words.
His brow furrowed subconsciously, but suddenly relaxed.
Obviously, Liu Sanwu's advice to him is secondary.
The main purpose is to prove his loyalty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this, and had the full support of Liu Sanwu, the first scholar in the world.
The difficulty of cleaning up the scum of the gentry in the world can be described as easy.
Fu Youwen also said at this time: "Scholar Liu's words are wrong, on the battlefield, those who are not skilled in martial arts will inevitably suffer casualties. ”
"How can it be said that the court let them go to death?"
As soon as these words came out, the three people in the room looked at each other and smiled.
Obviously, the gentry who missed the former Yuan in Lin Che's mouth were sentenced to cut off their children and grandchildren.
……
The other side.
After Zhu Fan digested Lin Che's strategy.
A new question popped up in my head.
"Mr. Lin, according to what you said, as long as the children of the gentry are killed on the battlefield."
"Or if they all go and guard the borders of the country, will the life of the people be better?"
After all, Lin Che had just said it.
It is necessary to give some of the management authority of the ranch to many gentry.
And such an important position, the gentry will certainly not pretend to others.
Not to mention that the Ju clan will move to the outside of the Saiwai, at least they will move to the land of the nine sides, running back and forth between the grassland and the Guannei.
In this way, the gentry were all brought together.
The 10,000 people who were oppressed by them should be able to live a good life in the future.
"It's not that simple."
Lin Che took a sip of wine, shook his head and smiled: "Even if the gentry and landlords are gone, the local officials are still there." ”
"If they don't have a backer, they may collect less taxes in the name of the imperial court."
"But they will never give up the benefits they have gotten, and the people will still be exploited."
To put it bluntly, most of the many landlords and gentry in the Ming Dynasty are tumors left behind in the Ming Dynasty by the former Yuan.
Moreover, these methods of harming the people were promoted and strengthened in the Ming Dynasty.
So much so that the officials of the imperial court have already mastered this kind of cruelty to the people.
Zhu Fan was here in Lin Che, and he got the strategy of cleaning up the scum and local tyrants and inferior gentry in the world.
Originally, I thought that this was a plan that would kill two birds with one stone in favor of the people.
Unexpectedly, Lin Che gave a negative answer.
Zhu Fan ran out of ideas for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, how should this low-level corrupt official be dealt with?" ”
Lin Che yawned, sold a pass, and said, "This matter is your homework, you can think about it when you go back." ”
"If you figure this out, then you're going to get what kind of changes the chemical fertilizer will bring to the social landscape."
"And how to deal with this change, and make it beneficial to the people, and the pre-existing answer to the world."
Zhu Fan, who was on the rise, didn't notice that it was time for class to end.
Although he was very reluctant in his heart.
But he could only bow to Lin Che and leave the Confucius Temple with Zhu Bai.
They planned to use the fastest time to perfect the strategy proposed by Lin Che.
However, before Zhu Yuanzhang went to the palace, he suddenly thought of one thing.
asked Fu Youwen, the head of the household department next to him, "Have you already started to do the matter of immigration in the Central Plains?" ”
"I received an urgent report from the governor of Henan yesterday, saying that the price of rice and noodles in the Central Plains has increased by half percent."
"If it doesn't rain again within 10 days, the price of all kinds of grain will increase at least fivefold."
If the disaster in the Central Plains suddenly broke out.
Then even the advance army led by Hu Yunqiang found out the location of the gold mountain and silver island that Mr. Lin said.
The imperial court also had to use the limited money and silver to treat the victims.
Otherwise, if these hungry people wander to other state capitals, even if there is no disaster here, the local people will not have a chance to collect grain into the granary.
"Your Majesty, according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Prince, a few days ago, I have sent someone to go to the Central Plains with the people in the palace."
Fu Youwen pinched his fingers and counted the time, and after the approximate date, he replied: "If nothing goes wrong halfway, they should have reached the border of the Central Plains by now." ”
"The first batch of people, the minister plans to take them along the waterway to the factory site in Quanzhou, and the wages are paid every day."
"This place is relatively close to the Central Plains, and after these people get paid twice, it will definitely play an exemplary role as Mr. Lin said, and can allow more victims to leave the Central Plains."
However, the tradition of the homeland is difficult to unmove, but it is a shackle that is difficult to unravel.
Fu Youwen was worried that the people in the Central Plains would not leave their hometown until they starved to death.
So the first time, I didn't plan to recruit many people, just hoping that they could attract more victims to leave.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully to Fu Youwen's words, and after pondering whether there were any omissions, he nodded: "Very good, if this matter is done, I will have a heavy reward." ”
……
Eyes rolled.
Henan Yuzhou, Zhangde House.
It hasn't rained here for a month.
In the countryside, whether it is wheat seedlings or grass and trees, they all look dry and yellow.
Hundreds of people braved the scorching sun and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads.
He brought water from the mountains to water the wheat that was almost dying.
It's just a pity that the weather is too hot.
After the water was poured down, the land was evaporated by the sun before it could absorb much.
However, even if you water like this, it is no different from doing useless work.
But none of the people dared to stop diving.
Because of a little more sweat, when the wheat harvest is assembled, there will still be some harvest.
But if you do nothing, let the wheat die.
Then the whole family will starve to death!
