The land has been promised, and neither the army nor the big clan can offend, and Wang Yan suspects that it is the official gentry and the merchants who want to annex the land, so they pull the army to divide the fruits of the Great War in the Central Plains.

Although Wang Yan is the regent, he can sing opera, and he relies on the army and the gentry to set up a stage for him, and he can't do without the support of these people.

Shang Kexi and Kong Youde have been the soil emperor in Henan for ten years, and thirty percent of the land in the Central Plains is under the name of the two, and in Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places, it is as high as seventy percent, it can be said that in the whole of Henan, a small half of the population is a tenant of two people.

Wang Yan has a lot of complicated things, limited energy, and a little carelessness, he was exploited by his subordinates.

Of course, Wang Yan didn't let them take benefits, but they couldn't hide it from him, and they couldn't be too ugly and couldn't affect the overall situation.

People say that the people's hearts are like water, and now the tenants have run away to Jinguo, isn't this a slap in the face of Wang Yan?

With a gloomy face, Wang Yan rode to the village in front of him, and sat down directly under the locust tree in front of the village. ”

Wang Yan put away his gloomy face and asked with a gentle smile, "Are you all tenants of this manor?" ”

"Back to the king, our entire village is a tenant, and we have been planting here for ten years!"

After planting for ten years, it has already taken root here, and if the government collects the land, it will definitely be resentful.

Wang Yan turned around, glanced at Wang Fu complainingly, and said in a sullen voice: "Brother, look at what you are doing!" ”

"Your Highness, this matter is a lack of consideration by the lower officials, and they have not taken into account the people of Henan!" Seeing that Wang Yan was unhappy, Wang Fuzhi hurriedly bowed his head and said.

In fact, they were too anxious this time, and without careful study, they were bewitched by the big clans below and made a decision.

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land are too tempting for the wealthy families in the south. This time, the policy of exchanging grain for land was also put forward by the big clans in Huguang and other places in the name of helping the imperial court share its worries.

Wang Fuzhi must have thought that doing so would bring harm to the tenants in Henan, but in terms of his own interests and emotions, he still chose to ignore the tenants in Henan and sided with the big clans and merchants.

In fact, the whole strategy is not a big problem, if you take your time and help the court to settle these tenants, Wang Yan can accept it, but they are too anxious to eat, and Wang wants someone to wipe his buttocks, he will be dissatisfied.

At this time, an old man kneeling on the ground boldly asked, "King, does the government really want to take our land?" ”

Wang Yan's expression changed again, he got up and helped the old man up, and let them all sit on the ground, "The government is not acting well and has not taken you into account, this is the negligence of the lone king." ”

The old man and the villagers behind him were so shocked that they almost knelt down again when they heard His Royal Highness the King of Chu admit their mistakes to them.

Wang Yan held the old man up, didn't let him bow down again, and said comfortingly, "The villagers can rest assured that the matter of the fields will be solved by the lonely king, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment." ”

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a good person, but the officials below are bastards, and this idea was immediately injected into the minds of the old man and the others.

Several people thanked them again and again, and Wang Yan asked the guards to take them down, and when the villagers returned to the village, Wang Yan turned around and asked, "What are your countermeasures?" ”

You Youlun immediately said, "Your Highness, the lower officials feel that a part of the land that has not been exchanged for grain can be divided into official land and returned to the political envoy of Henan, and the government will lease the land to tenant farmers to solve the livelihood problem of the original tenant farmers of the land, and then let the big families who have exchanged for land recruit a group of tenant farmers to serve as long-term workers in the manor, which can solve most of the problems." ”

The big clans and businessmen in the south took such a big advantage in Henan, and there was such a big problem for You Youlun, the political envoy of Henan, that he should stop this matter from the perspective of people's livelihood and Henan officialdom.

It's just that he is also from the Chu faction after all, and he doesn't dare to offend the army and nobles, so he can only stop the annexation of the big clan and the merchants to the Liangtian in Henan.

Wang Yan nodded when he heard this, but he hadn't completely solved the problem, he couldn't help but look at Wang Fuzhi, "This matter was provoked by the household department!" Hasn't Tobe thought of a strategy for the aftermath? ”

With the annexation of land, a large number of tenants will have no arable land to plant, and Wang Fuzhi, as the head of the household, naturally knows that he is not willing to let something happen to Henan, affect his political achievements, and bring trouble to the imperial court.

"Your Royal Highness, the household department has already made a plan, for the landless people, the household department has two plans, one is to move to Jinnan for resettlement, and the other is to wait for the imperial court to restore Liao, and move to Guanwai!" Wang Fuzhi said.

Shanxi's losses this time were extremely great, and nearly one million people died in the war, and the Jin Kingdom also relocated seven or eight hundred thousand people, and some of them could indeed be resettled.

As for the outside of the Guan, Wang Yan will definitely move the people over in the future, otherwise even if the Liao Land is recovered, there will be no people to guard it, and sooner or later it will still be occupied by the Jurchens.

To control a place, there must be people first, no one, how many years can it be occupied by the army alone? How can the imperial court afford it?

Wang Yan couldn't help but glance at Wang Fuzhi again, and he somewhat understood that Wang Fuzhi and the officials of the imperial court were not completely without consideration.

Wang Yan squinted his eyes and pondered, maybe they originally wanted to annex even the fertile land in Shanxi and Hebei and other places, and then drive all the people who lost their land to Guanwai.

In this way, the big clans and merchants have made a lot of money, and the Ming Dynasty can also regain control of Liaodi, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, but they do not care about the interests of the people.

The people in Henan have houses to live in and fields to cultivate, and if they are sent to other areas, everything has to start anew, and it will take several years of hard work to barely gain a foothold, which is equivalent to the people's property, which is invisibly taken away by them.

You Youlun is not wrong from the perspective of people's livelihood and Henan, it can be seen that he is a good and responsible official, Wang Fuzhi and others forced tenants to relocate, which is beneficial to the grand strategy of the Ming Dynasty, but they cannot benefit the gentry and merchants to occupy all of them, and harm the interests of ordinary people.

Wang Yan was silent for a while, sighed after half a sound, and still compromised with the evil forces, "Don't arrange it in Shanxi, wait for the imperial court to take the outside of the border, and then move all to Liaodong, but the imperial court must provide them with convenience, and the policy of food and exemption must be formulated as soon as possible!" ”

Wang Fuzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he saw that Wang Yan was not angry, so he hurriedly bowed, saying that he would handle it according to his request.

Wang Yan glanced at him angrily, and said angrily, "Don't be too complacent, if the people who moved over are frozen and hungry, the Lone King will definitely be investigated to the end." In addition, the grain is exchanged for the field, and the price of the field is raised by 30% to the orphan, and the extra money is all used for resettlement, and the orphan can't be cheaper! ”

moved to Tang and Lu, and not long after Wang Yanqiankun made a decision, he found that something was wrong. When he is talking about you, he is not talking about Wang Fuzhi, but a group of people behind him, and also a group of people behind Wang Yan.

This inspection made Wang Yan very helpless, and soon left the village and returned to Luoyang.

On the way, he asked Wang Fuzhi how much land the Hengyang Wang family had changed in Henan, and Wang Fuzhi said a number that made him vomit blood, a whole 10,000 hectares, which made Wang Yan rethink his position and the current political pattern of the Ming Dynasty along the way.

Unconsciously, Wang Yan returned to Luoyang, but as soon as he leaned back on the chair in the study and was about to squint for a while, a guard came to report that the Manchu envoy had arrived.

Fulin Xiaoer sent an envoy over, and Wang Yan already knew that the generals on the front line had his permission before they rushed to release the Qing envoy.

The war has been going on for too long, and the matter in Beijing should be settled. After listening to the report, Wang Yan decided to meet the Qing envoy, but he did not want to negotiate with the Qing envoy, but directly issued an ultimatum.

With Wang Yan's permission, the old duo of Feng Quan and Lu Gong slowly entered Luoyang from the east gate in a carriage under the supervision of more than a dozen Ming soldiers.

The two of them were ordered by Fu Lin to negotiate terms with the Ming Dynasty, expressing the willingness of the Qing Dynasty to return Beijing to the Ming Dynasty intact, and remove the emperor's title, and declare themselves vassals to the Ming Dynasty, just hoping to establish a state in Liaodong.

For this mission, Lu Gong is not confident at all, the war has been fought for more than 30 years, how big a beam the two sides have formed, although Lu Gong is pedantic, but to live with himself, he can also know that the Ming Dynasty can not let go of the Qing Dynasty.

In the carriage, Lu Gong couldn't help sighing, but when he looked at Feng Quan in the car, there was no trace of worry on his face, so he couldn't help asking, "Lord Zhongtang, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

Feng Quan was like a bodhisattva, "At this point, what's the use of being in a hurry, let's wait until we see the King of Chu!" ”

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the carriage, and the two lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and there were already officials waiting in front of the door, leading them to the main hall.

Wang Yan sat on the top of the main hall, with a forest of armor soldiers on both sides, he saw the two of them coming in, raised his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "Master Feng, you really did your best for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and died!" Go ahead! What do you want to talk about this time on behalf of Fulin? ”

Feng Quan was a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and after the Qing Dynasty, he could be said to be the first assistant of the Qing court.

On this mission, Lu Gong thought that he would have to go through some difficulties before he could see Wang Yan, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, Wang Yan would be summoned, which made him feel a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that Wang Yan also had a heart to talk about.

At that moment, he hurriedly took out the national letter from his sleeve and was about to speak, but Feng Quan on the side suddenly bowed down and cried: "The criminal minister visits His Royal Highness, and the criminal minister can't wait for His Highness to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty immediately and capture the chieftain alive, how can he speak for the Manchu Qing!" ”

Lu Gong on the side was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, and Wang Yan in the palace was not ready for this.
