After fully equipping the six, although Zhu Di was very busy, he had significantly more free time. He can even spare some time to play chess with Liu Chun, like most generals in the army, Zhu Di likes chess with wide open and close, and every time he goes on a rampage, he doesn't kill anyone and has nothing, and he will never give up.

Looking at Zhu Di's chess style, you will think that he is a fierce Zhang Fei-like character, but just like the real Zhang Fei is a master of painting ladies' pictures, Zhu Di also hides his delicate mind under the rough appearance, and he is very good at employing people.

"Some time ago, I was appointed as a prisoner, and the literati who wrote this edict was called Yang Rong, a young man who had just passed the Jinshi examination. However, he was brilliant in writing, and the edicts he wrote were fair and decent. Highlighting the grace of the first emperor everywhere is very much in line with my heart. I'm going to put him in the Cabinet. ”

The second place of "Sanyang" also came out, Liu Chun was not surprised at all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhu Di must promote the person he likes.

However, Zhu Di is not bad for Liu Chun, in addition to Zhao Mian as the secretary of the military department, Zhu Di also appointed Liu Zheng as the right attendant of the ministry, Tang Huai took over the Honglu Temple, and Long Rong served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Even Xun Shunqing became Ying Tianfucheng.

Obviously, Zhu Di is carefully building his team, and the cabinet is his own place. Just like any leader will choose his favorite secretary and driver, Liu Chun does not intend to interfere in the cabinet.

"Yang Rong is indeed good, the prince has a good eye for people, if the prince doesn't think I'm talkative, there is actually a very suitable candidate."

Zhu Di groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "You can't be talking about Xie Jin, right?" ”

Liu Chun smiled and nodded.

Zhu Di said: "This talent is rare in the world, but he interceded for Li Shanchang back then, and he didn't know the smell!" ”

Li Shanchang finally fell, and it had a lot to do with Liu Chun, Zhu Di did not release Jin into the cabinet, because he was worried about making Liu Chun dissatisfied, but he didn't expect that Liu Chun actually took the initiative to mention it.

"Lord Wang, Xie Jin's emotional intelligence is indeed not high, but his talent is far better than ordinary people. And he is also a master of history. Lord Wang, it's time to start the record of the first emperor. ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and couldn't help nodding, "That's right, you really think of me everywhere." ”

After the founding of each dynasty, the history of the previous dynasty will be revised as a final conclusion for the coffin, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

And after the death of each emperor, the record will also be revised, which can be regarded as announcing the end of an era. Zhu Di did not recognize Zhu Yunwen's Jianwen Dynasty, and starting from the history of revision was the best way.

"From tomorrow, let Xie Jin and Yang Rong enter the cabinet together, and now there are three cabinet ministers...... By the way, how is Yang Shiqi doing? Zhu Di said curiously: "Can he handle the Xu family's land and property properly?" You won't be soft-hearted, will you? If he can't do it, I'll let Ji Gang do it! ”

"The prince guessed wrong." Liu Chun hurriedly said: "It's not that Yang Shiqi can't do it, on the contrary, he has made a ruthless move!" ”

"Ruthless? How ruthless? Zhu Di asked curiously.

"Yang Shiqi arrested dozens of people, and there were dozens of thugs who were executed. In addition, he also arrested several gentry with the greatest grievances and stood in wooden cages. ”

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, standing in a wooden cage is a kind of torture.

The wooden cage is very small, only able to accommodate one person, the most common wooden cage is to let the prisoner carry dozens of pounds of flail, bask under the sun, usually a few days will die.

Some wooden cages are upgraded, and they will be made shorter, so that people can only squat half-squat, and the most immoral thing is to put a few wooden skewers or daggers under the buttocks. If you go down a little bit, you will be poked.

Therefore, the prisoner had to maintain an embarrassing posture of half-squatting, and it would not be long before he could not hold on.

What's even worse is that there are dagger spikes all around, and once the prisoner enters, he is often covered in scaly wounds and blood flowing, which is called a miserable one.

In Zhu Di's impression, Yang Shiqi is a gentle and elegant scholar, how could he use such cruel means to deal with the gentry?

It's incredible!

"Come on, go and call Yang Shiqi."

After a while, Yang Shiqi arrived.

Sure enough, compared with the first few days, this person has a hint of decisiveness.

Zhu Di looked carefully, "Yang Shiqi, I heard that you did a good job, but what do you know?" ”

Yang Shiqi groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Minister, the minister knows the helplessness of being an official!" ”

"Helpless? How? ”

Yang Shiqi lowered his head and said with his eyes: "In the past, the minister only knew how to do things based on right and wrong, but now the minister knows that to really do things is to choose the lesser of two evils." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Liu Chun and couldn't help laughing: "How is it?" Isn't he slow to comprehend? ”

Liu Chun nodded happily and praised: "Yang Shiqi is a talent, and the minister is not surprised at all. ”

was praised by the two bigwigs, Yang Shiqi was embarrassed, "Actually, as early as in Changsha, I should have understood these truths, and I was really ashamed to delay it for several years." ”

Yang Shiqi is not a pedantic person, when he announced that he would implement the division of the field, in Yingtian City, hundreds of thousands of young and strong, all of them were looking forward to it, eager to divide the field, eager to return to the countryside, their eyes made Yang Shiqi shudder.

Ying Tian's side really can't hold on, not to mention that there is not enough food to eat, all kinds of robberies and thefts every day can make people crazy.

The capital is like a dammed lake that will collapse at any time, and every moment of delay, the water will be one point higher, and if it is not relieved, what will be the result, I dare not imagine at all......

"The gentry of the country, who did everything in their power to obstruct the division of the fields. Let the tenant farmers make trouble, hire thugs, pay for bribes, and assassinate ...... They're coming for everything! ”

Yang Shiqi said loudly: "In the final analysis, I just don't want to spit out the land. In the past, the ministers always thought that among the gentry, there were also good people, and their fields were not obtained casually, and they were all the people of the Ming Dynasty, so they should not be treated as fish and meat to be taken and demanded. ”

"But now that the minister understands, on the one hand, there are millions of displaced people, and on the other hand, there are gentry who hold on to the land and refuse to let go, no matter how much reason they have, it is unreasonable at the moment of life and death in the imperial court!"

Zhu Di's eyes were bright, staring at Yang Shiqi, and his words reached his heart.

Those Confucian scholars who like to talk always like to talk about how it should be, and they never put themselves in their shoes and think about what they can do!

As the ruler of a country, he must solve the problem, or the problem will solve him.

"Yang Shiqi, so you used the punishment of the standing cage?"

"Hmm!" Yang Shiqi said: "The minister has already issued a notice, let the people sue the gentry, and by the way, punish them and check the land." ”

Liu Chun listened to Yang Shiqi's words and said with a smile: "If some gentry have a good reputation, or the people dare not sue, what are you going to do?" ”

Yang Shiqi gritted his teeth, "Everything is about land!" If it doesn't work, just sit on them and build a party! ”

Liu Chun said sharply: "Aren't you afraid of wronging good people?" ”

Yang Shiqi met Liu Chun's gaze and said without hesitation: "Young Master let the lower officials practice, isn't it just to let the lower officials understand the general trend?" Going against the general trend is the greatest evil! It doesn't matter whether a person is good or bad. ”

Liu Chun and Zhu Di looked at each other and smiled, Yang Shiqi does have some talents, he can quickly understand the true meaning of doing things, and he can definitely become a good assistant.

And Yang Shiqi mentioned a key thing, that is, Jianwen Yu Party!

The reason why Zhu Di and Liu Chun didn't trigger it was because he was waiting for this opportunity.

If you want to smoothly promote the reform of the law and collect the land, you must eradicate the gentry group, and to do this is to make a name for yourself. Jianwen Yu Party is the last reason!

Jinyi Wei Yamen, just closed Huang Zicheng and others, from top to bottom, should be thoroughly investigated and cleaned up.

Zhu Di said happily: "Yang Shiqi, from tomorrow, you will hand over the matter at hand to Yang Rong and Xie Jin." You go and Lian Zining, as well as Ji Gang, and run Huang Zicheng and others together. The old cases of the past must be clarified, and no one should be spared the guilty...... Also, it is necessary to focus on showing the reasons why they oppose the change of the law, and all those who oppose the change of the law are all Zhu Yunwen's party! ”

"Minister...... Got it! Yang Shiqi suppressed his excitement and immediately agreed, Zhu Di regarded him as a confidant and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, it seems that he has passed the test.

After sending Yang Shiqi away, Zhu Di said happily: "When Jianwen's old ministers are disposed of, this king should also be justified and inherit his father's inheritance." ”

"Liu Chun, do you have any arrangements?"

Liu Chun said: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, the ministers are already planning, the hundred officials support it, and all the countries will come to the court, all of which must be ...... By the way, there will be a clan vassal king to ...... together" Liu Chun said this, and suddenly paused, "Lord Wang, it seems, almost, it seems to be ...... Forget His Royal Highness King Zhou! ”
