After this life-and-death, He Jianxing is no matter how stupid he is, and he knows that he has completely offended the prince, Xie Jinren, etc., and he knows that he has cut himself off from the Qing Dynasty, at least in Jinling, he has become a rat crossing the street.

But if this is the case, there is no possibility of selling it to please him, then it can only be broken.

He Jianxing knows what strength he can rely on in the position of this Shangshu, and he knows and understands what he should do and what to do in order to consolidate his position.

So, as soon as he took office, he began to prepare for the migration of the population. It is precisely because of this incident that Gu Pu is finished, and in this household department, since He Jianxing, the acting Shangshu, is determined to do this matter, then, who dares to object?

A mighty relocation movement began.

The households in Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces were all registered, but He Jianxing did not plan to move the registered households, but his purpose was to flee the households.

At the beginning of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty implemented a very strict yellow book system, and all people had to be registered in the household register, from the private household to the happy household, the military household and even the medical household, the craftsman household, etc., the division was unprecedented.

It's just that the system is a system, but because of the strict household registration, there are many strict requirements, which leads to the gradual increase in the number of people who flee from households.

Among them, in Fujian, Liangguang, Yunnan and Guizhou and other places are the most strict, because there are many people and little land, and the land is also barren, if it is in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, once the grain production is reduced, I am afraid that everyone will starve to death, in order not to starve to death, can only exceed their household registration. Go and make some other living, or just go out.

Fugitives and displaced people. In Jiangxi, Lianghu and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, there are not many such things, probably because they are relatively wealthy here, and the control of the imperial court is stricter, while in other places, the problem is extremely strict. The most important of these is that behind this escape, there is a chain of interests from the top down.

This is actually the epitome of the entire Ming Dynasty. What was strictly forbidden by the imperial court became a means for the gentry to seek profits, just like the fugitives, who often sheltered the largest number of fugitives. But it's these gentry. There is only one reason, that is, the fugitive family fled from the countryside, desperate, ordinary people, where dare to take it in, after all, if you are not careful, you may be wiped out. But the gentry were different, they had connections in the government. I am not afraid of people making things difficult, and for them, the price of escaping households is often lower than that of hiring people, as long as they are guaranteed not to starve to death, you can let them obediently work for you, anyway, they have nowhere to go, even if they are beaten and scolded, abused, or even beaten to death at will, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, the problem of running away from households, to put it bluntly, is the problem of the gentry, the same reason, the imperial court strictly forbids going to sea, and the gentry can go to sea because they have privileges, but others can't, but they can dredge up the relationship, and the purpose of monopoly is achieved. Then there are merchants, the Ming Dynasty is extremely unfriendly to merchants, ordinary people, merchants are almost equivalent to looking for death, casually offending a county official, may make your family ruined. The gentry are different, they often retreat behind the scenes, bring out a person to do business, they provide relationships, the people in front of the stage accumulate wealth for them, with a relationship, in order to ensure that the money earned will not be robbed, will not be eaten and taken at random along the way, so above this court, which minister does not have such a business name behind him, these businesses seem to have nothing to do with them, but go south and north, and people with a discerning eye know that this is their relationship, who dares to make things difficult.

This is also thanks to the old man Hongwu, because all kinds of Jinling are equivalent to giving these people who can ignore the ban a monopoly shortcut to make a fortune. In fact, they may not be cheap businessmen, because most of their brothers-in-law, third nephews and seventh uncles are running businesses, and they send a lot of money into their mansions every year. In the same way, they do not support the ban on the sea, they only ban the people who go to the sea to sell goods, because they are banned, they have the ability to dredge the joints, naturally, there will be their own agents to send goods to all parts of the world, and it is precisely because of this monopoly that the same silk can obtain tens or hundreds of times the profit.

The same is probably true for the fugitives, for the fugitives, they are self-criticized, eager to ignore the laws and regulations of the court to peel the skin and fill the grass, but then again, take in the most fugitives, I am afraid that their relatives and friends, in fact, this is not a contradiction, the fugitives can escape, but others can not take in, if everyone can take in, the fugitives have a place to go, and naturally there is bargaining capital, but the fugitives can not be taken in, if they want to live, if they want not to be arrested by the government, they can only enter my door, so naturallyIn their eyes, the fugitives are like animals, and their value is even lower than that of animals, which is enough for them to exploit.

Therefore, the first thing He Jianxing did was to check the population, but it was not easy to check the population, after all, most of the local officials and the gentry wore the same pants, and no matter how to issue the approval, people were afraid that it would only be perfunctory.

In this case, then there is only a salary drawn from the bottom of the kettle, and the household department has drawn up a charter here, which has been approved by the palace, that is, all the fugitives and displaced people, but anyone who is willing to come out and surrender, can be reclassified as a private household, not only that, but also allocate a certain amount of money and food, so that they can go to Siam to reclaim, and the checkpoints along the way, must not be embarrassed, if someone reports, it will be thoroughly investigated.

In fact, only God knows how effective the official document is, because the local officials and gentry will never be fuel-efficient lamps, and there are countermeasures under the policy, which is a stubborn disease for thousands of years, and there can be a few people in the household department, and they are all in Jinling, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what can you do?

Everyone originally thought that it was just a gust of wind, and as long as the head was not messy, there would be no difference.

For example, those who escaped, these people are stupid, how can they know the benefits of automatic surrender, after all, public opinion is in the hands of the old men, and the old men say that it is not good to surrender, who has the courage to do this.

But the old men seemed to have forgotten that the congregations of Lang Son got this will, and suddenly exploded.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune, and if you miss it, you'll be a fool.

In the past two years, the Congregation of Lang Son has developed rapidly, and the main source of wealth is the population, and what they used to do in the interior was illegal, but now it is completely legal. Not only that, these guilds, using various connections to infiltrate, in the southern provinces, have their own territory, such as the most powerful Tongxin Hui in Langshan, their main territory is Guangxi, this Guangxi area, all prefectures and counties have their piles, these piles, or rich households, or some scholars, Tongxin will be responsible for sending money to them, and their task is to make friends with the government, up to the prefect, the county, down to the warden, the secretary, and the waterway inspection, and even the garrison of the checkpoint. It is the goal of their friendship, and every year a large amount of money is sent to these people, not only that, but some 'unscrupulous' scholars are also bought, and as for the errand servants in the prefecture and county, they have long been hooked up with their brothers and called them brothers.

It is because of the convenience they provide that there is a steady stream of people entering Lang Son, and now, it is clear that there is no need to sneak around.

Naturally, the gentry and landlords kept admonishing the tenants, especially those who had escaped, saying that the court had asked you to surrender, so that they could teach you to throw yourself into the net, and once you went, you were afraid that you would have your head cut off.

In order to compete for the right to speak, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp, and some of the disciples of the association simply go directly to secretly contact those who have escaped, or threaten or induce, and try any way.

The gentry were also on fire, and they organized some guards to expel the nearby outsiders.

But once the mouth is opened, where to block, those who escaped, life was already miserable, and they were tempted by the general manager, and they went to the government to report on their own, and the government there, on the one hand, it was good to eat the benefits, and it was not easy to make things difficult, on the other hand, the holy decree said very clearly, once the accusation was made, it was impossible to eat and walk around, where did anyone dare to deceive the upper and lower.

After that, these people were naturally safe and sound, and even if they were sent to Siam, along the way, there were also people who took care of them, in addition to the government to distribute some rations, that is, the meeting gate, and would try to provide some help, because when they arrived in Liangshan, Liangshan, there was a reward, and they were all given according to the head.

In this way, everyone else was moved, and the escapees reported one after another, even if they were not escapees, they also felt that life was difficult, and some simply hooked up with the people who would meet the door, first escaped, and then pretended to be a fugitive, and reported to the government in other places.

There are more and more fugitives, I don't know if I don't check, but if I check, it can be regarded as shaking the government and the opposition, the population is as high as millions at most, just this, maybe it's still the tip of the iceberg, God knows how many real numbers there are.

But for the other side, that is, the gentry, this time the loss can be described as heavy, for the fugitives, it is equivalent to slaves, because of their protection, in order to avoid the fugitives from being held accountable by the government, but now, these slaves have become Siamese farmers, which makes their cost of farming, and invisibly greatly increased.
