Chapter 700: The landlord's family really has no surplus food

There was an urgent need for manpower to open mines and build railroads, so countless people of 12 million could eat more, and they had a great appetite, so they were ordered to emigrate, and secretly, they also resorted to all kinds of means to attract people from all over the world.

The holy decree of the imperial court and the official document of the household department are equivalent to opening a hole in the dam, so the flood peak pours for thousands of miles, and countless crowds of people with the expectation of a better life go crazy through Langshan and turn to various places.

And for the other side, this day is really impossible to live, without the population, who will farm? In the past, there were many people and few land, but now, there are few people and many people, the original recruitment of tenants, is you love to come, since you come, you have to do it according to my rules, but now, it is the old king, your family a few laborers, he is willing to farm for the old man Zhao, his family is only a few acres of paddy fields, it is better to come to me, the rent is easy to say, we are a good family, how can we treat you poorly, your family is not young, I have a girl here, and I have reached the age of marriage, alas, alas, alas, villagers, what is this, You came to me to rent my land, even if you thank me, ah, you take these catties of white flour and half a catty of sugar first, don't, if you kneel, you will show your birth, when your father was here, he also served my father, what kind of affection is this? Don't say anything else, I'll come tomorrow, your second child, the day after tomorrow I have to help the lining to beat some grain, rest assured, rest assured, how to teach your family to suffer, the old man is in the world, it is the word love, when the time comes, not only the rice is full, but also send a few flatbreads back to the children to eat, remember to come early in the morning, but don't forget. The Zhao family takes care of him, and his family's own mules are skinny and can feed you. Your family has so many strong laborers, both old and young, can they be supported by his hundreds of catties of grain? Come and follow the old man to eat and drink spicy food, and ensure that your family is old and young, all fat and big-eared.

In this way, when such words are spoken, there are really tears and blood in every word. But what's the way to do this, it looks like it's about to be ploughed in the spring next year, and no one can be found. If you miss the agricultural time, hundreds or thousands of acres of land will have to be wasted like this, and if this land is not turned over, the soil will be moved. Year down. It will become a wasteland, and even if you recruit tenants at that time, I am afraid that this will be a big loss.

So now, some prefectures and counties with thin populations are really unable to live, and some gentry are even making money at a loss, and the land is in their hands. You have to plant, and if you don't, you will be barren. So if you lose money, you have to hire someone to plant it. There are also people who want to sell land simply, but now there are more land sellers, and all of a sudden, the land price has plummeted.

Jiangxi is okay there, but all the pro-people officials there, most of them have a great future, so for the fugitives, they can barely restrain the servants to expel those wandering members, and for the fugitives, they are also screened, and they will never let go of a laborer by mistake, but the other old and young border poor boundaries are different, on the one hand, the people are already in hardship here, and the people can't survive, even if there is no holy decree from the imperial court, they have to find a way out, on the other hand, most of the magistrates here are put here, there is no hope, there is no futureAs for the crying of those gentry, pinching their noses, and saying a few words in a high-sounding manner This is the will of the Holy Emperor, and there are also household documents, how dare the officials dare to stop it, the household department is still simple and can not stop this general trend, the county officials are low, such as what to do, your suffering, the county can understand, but the hardships of the county, I also hope that you can know a little bit about the township sages.

In Hunan, there were a few gentry who had a strong temper, and they were hanged directly, and the Hunan people were fierce and could not stand it, and they made such sensational things, and they had to be scolded by the world, saying that it was a policy to relocate the people that shook the country's foundation and put the gentry in dire straits.

In this way, a lot of news came out, and everyone suddenly realized how terrible the power of Langshan was, they ate and drank spicy, and the gentry were about to be cornered, and they wanted to live in peace.

The grievances were sent to the Beijing division like snowflakes, and they were really wailing all over the place, as if this place had fallen into hell on earth, and the gentry finally began to rebound, on the one hand, to create a momentum in the local area, or to run to the gate of the official office to make trouble, or, to contact the relationship in the Beijing division, and complain all over the world.

The household department has been pushed to the cusp, but where is He Jianxing, the secretary of the household department, willing to give up, he has already done what offends people, and there is no reason to give up halfway, otherwise if you take it, people may not be grateful to you, and they will still scold you, and the people behind you will feel that you are timid, and you will not please both sides.

Therefore, He Jianxing continued to insist, anyway, if the palace didn't come out to stop it, he was still on an errand, who could do anything?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Zhu Di is not blind and deaf, to this point, he also feels that things are a little taken for granted, his original intention is good, but not necessarily, he wants to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule, this country, after all, the Son of Heaven and the scholar sit together, he can kill Fang Xiaoru, can kill Qi Tai, but it may not be necessary to kill all the gentry, now the complaint is very strong, and the hundred officials are also fierce, this said, the escape has been as high as four million, all sent to Siam, and there are rumors, saying that the hearts of the people in the provinces are fluctuating, If the imperial court does not stop the relocation, a catastrophe is imminent.

So, just as the New Year was approaching, the prince was edicted to enter the palace.

In this matter, I naturally want to hear what the prince Zhu Gaochi means.

After all, he once presided over the household department, and he is his own son, so it is reliable to ask him about this.

Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to slack off, and in fact, Zhu Gaochi had already realized the power of Langshan, he had ordered someone to investigate in Langshan, and the news from there really surprised him, although there were some things that could not be trusted, relying on a group of businessmen to make a very prosperous place out, it was inevitably a little alarmist, but Zhu Gaochi felt that the wings of the Hao family had hardened, and the front desk of the Hao family was King Zhao, and he must not take it lightly.

He quickly entered the palace and crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and it happened that Xie Jin came from the warm pavilion, Zhu Gaochi stopped him and said, "Is Mr. Xie coming from my father?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Xie Jin saluted and glanced at the prince deeply, during this time, the contact between the two was much less, just to avoid suspicion, but if they met in the palace today, if they didn't say a few words, they might arouse suspicion.

Xie Jin nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is asking about this year's spring ploughing." ”

Spring......

Now the southern provinces are making a lot of trouble, that is, the relocation of the people hurts the peasants, and the father asked Xie Jin about spring ploughing, which must have a lot to do with the next thing to ask about himself, Zhu Gaochi urgently needs to know Xie Jin's opinion on this matter, so he smiled lightly and asked quietly: "Oh? But I don't know, what did the gentleman say? ”

Xie Jin Zhengse said: "Since it is to tell the Majesty Xià, the matter of persuading the peasants, the cabinet will not be lazy, and will definitely take a variety of measures at that time, so that the spring ploughing in the coming year will not go wrong." ”

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but ask: "It's just that this relocation won't hurt the peasants." ”

Xie Jin smiled: "It depends on how you say it, it is the border of my Ming Dynasty, which hurts the farmers of Yunnan, Guizhou and Huguang, but gets Siamese grain, if it is limited to Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Guangdong provinces, it is a heavy relationship, but looking at the overall situation, it seems that there is nothing inappropriate." ”

Listening to Xie Jin's meaning, he actually agreed to relocate the people, which made Zhu Gaochi confused, and couldn't help asking: "What Mr. means is that this relocation of the people is good governance, but recently, there have been many good gentry who have expressed their feelings and talked about all kinds of unbearable things in the place. ”

Xie Jin's face was calm, but he lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, of course, you can't underestimate it, over the years, Your Highness has been the crown prince and the prince of the country, but what about the bottom of your head, there are those who praise Your Highness, but there are not many people who have contributed much, why not?" It's just that there is no profit drive. Look at the king of Zhao, it is said that many people have worked tirelessly for him, especially Chen Xue's students, why is this nothing more than that behind them, someone supplies money and food and gives them benefits. His Royal Highness understands that he can no longer let people wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne and then follow the dragon, so as not to let them suffer some losses, and not let them know that without His Royal Highness the prince, they will not be able to save their lives, and they will definitely not be willing to contribute. In this case, then why don't Your Highness borrow this Hao Fenglou, borrow this household book He Jianxing, and give them a lesson, this is the beginning, they know that it hurts, and when they really know the pain, these people will naturally twist it into a rope, and when His Highness wants to use it, he can wave his arms like an arm, so there is no need to deny His Majesty's strategy of moving the people at the moment, and there is no need to give those squires who have suffered a loss, the old man has a saying, which is completely from the bottom of his heart, I don't know if His Highness is willing to listen? ”

Zhu Gaochi seemed to have an understanding and said, "Mr. Xie, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xie Jin said word by word: "If you don't die dozens of gentry and don't let some people go bankrupt, Your Highness can't really achieve what everyone wants, so what's the harm of Your Highness watching from the wall?" (To be continued......)
