When the magistrate of Wuchang County Liang Guan saw that the emperor had just punished the royal relative Zhao Dequan, he ignored other families that occupied the land. Liang Guan wanted to stand up and speak again, but he didn't know that the magistrate of Wuchang behind him, Xu Fuyuan, grabbed him.

"Mr. Liang, I know that you are dedicated to the country, but don't be more arrogant. You can't be afraid of death, but don't attract other colleagues!"

Xu Fuyuan knew that the Wuchang family had close relationships with the ministers in the court, and it was difficult for them to see that the ones who were unlucky must be those who were outside officials.

Because the Ming Dynasty officialdom stipulated that locals could not be officials in their provinces, most of the officials in Huguang are from Zhejiang and Nanzhili. Although these people also stood behind them, Xu Fuyuan, a small prefect, was not as arrogant as the tycoons in the court who could stand up for him.

Although the various factions in the court are fighting hard in secret, the overall stability that is maintained on the surface must not be allowed to cause Liang Guan to stir up disputes among the various factions.

Liang Guan is not a new official in the officialdom who knows nothing. He knows that he can't move the upstarts in Huguang alone, and he also needs the support of the big bosses in the court, so Liang Guan didn't say anything.

Xu Fuyuan felt relieved when he saw Liang Guan not knowing the voice. This matter was of great importance. It would be better to go back and discuss with the Governor and the Governor General.

Zhu Hongsan had two purposes for his return home this time, one was to worship his parents, and the other was to visit his fellow villagers. However, due to the land annexation issue, Zhu Hongsan had no shame to visit his fellow villagers, so he went to visit his parents next.

The tombs of Zhu Hongsan's grandparents and parents are three miles outside the county town, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. After Zhu Hongsan's grandfather died, he did not buried in the Chufan ancestral tomb outside the city, but chose the place to bury it. Zhu Hongsan's father and mother were also buried here after his death.

Zhu Hongsan came to the tomb and looked around and felt relieved. Fortunately, the Qing army was different from the bandits and did not have the habit of burning people's ancestral tombs. Zhu Hongsan's ancestral tombs have not been damaged in recent years.

Chinese people pay attention to moving and building graves with wealth. Now Zhu Hongsan is already rich in the world, so he naturally needs to repair his own ancestral graves.

"Wuchang Mansion, I have decided to build the Huangkao Mausoleum, you can organize some manpower!"

Xu Fuyuan frowned when he heard the emperor say this. Wuchang has just experienced war and is in ruins. The entire Wuchang Prefecture has less than one million people. Now the emperor is going to build his ancestral tomb. What should I do if I do this corvee service?

"Your Majesty, Wuchang Prefecture is now in financial difficulties and lacks manpower. It is also necessary to recruit civil servants to conquer the Qing Dynasty. I really can't draw any man to build the imperial tomb!"

The literati of the Ming Dynasty were still a little strong, and at least they could make reasonable opinions. If the literati of the Qing Dynasty were later, they would have to kneel down and accept the order of the emperor. Xu Fuyuan's objection was indeed reasonable. The ancestral tombs of Zhu Hong's three families were three miles outside Wuchang County. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, ten miles around the imperial tombs were all in the area of ​​the tombs, and every grass and tree inside belonged to the royal family. In this way, Wuchang County would also be enclosed into the area of ​​the tombs.

There is no solution. Either you choose a new location or move Wuchang County as a whole, this is not something that can be accomplished in normal times, let alone in wartime.

Zhu Hongsan also knew that it was difficult for the local government to make things difficult for him, so he was not prepared to start construction now.

"Wuchang Mansion, you first select a new address around Liangzihu, and then start the preliminary preparations. Don't worry! I will allocate 100,000 silver dollars from the inner treasury in advance, which should be enough!"

Xu Fuyuan knew that the emperor was rich, and now he heard that he didn't have to start work immediately, so he felt relieved and promised to choose a beautiful place around Liangzi Lake as the imperial tomb.

After hearing this, Zhu Jiang asked, "Father, Wuchang is too far from Nanjing, why not move the emperor's grandfather's grandmother's mausoleum to Fengyang?"

Fengyang is the ancestral tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was burned by fire during the Chongzhen period and is still in ruins. Zhu Hongsan did not want to move his mother's tomb to Fengyang. Although Zhu Hongsan traveled to the Zhu family's royal family, he did not have any sense of identity with the Zhu family. This time he came back mainly to worship his mother, because Zhu Hongsan was weak and sickly when he was a child, and his father died prematurely, it was his mother Zhao Chunhua who led Zhu Hongsan to grow up.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the small tomb of his parents and sighed and said, "Zhu Jiang, you don't know that your grandmother is from Wuchang. If you go to Fengyang, you will definitely be angry with the Zhu family! Your grandmother's family has been from Wuchang for generations, so stay in Wuchang!"

Seeing that his father had made up his mind to keep the tomb in Wuchang, Zhu Jiang didn't say anything.

After worshiping the ancestral tomb, Zhu Hongsan entered Wuchang County and looked at his former residence. However, now there are ruins in the county. Except for some decent houses in the North City, other houses have been destroyed by more than ten years of war.

Zhu Hongsan stood in front of the ruins of his home, looking at the courtyard where the shape could be vaguely seen, and said with emotion: "Zhu Jiang, you spent your childhood here back then!"

Zhu Hongsan walked into the yard through the gate, pointed to the pile of ruins next to him and said, "This is the wing room, I was here when I got married to your legitimate mother!"

"The main room is your grandmother's room! I remember there is a doghouse on the left side of the gate. At that time, I raised a native dog, named Dahuang, and later died of illness! There is a small corner door on the other side of the courtyard wall, and there is a grocery store in front of it. Your grandfather died early back then, and it was your grandmother who ran such a grocery store to raise me!"

Zhu Hongsan led Zhu Jiang and his son to walk in the ruins, and Zhu Hongsan casually told his son some of his childhood things back then.

When he arrived at the well in the backyard, Zhu Hongsan looked at the well that had dried up, sighed and said, "This is the place where I make sugar. Your uncle Zhu Hongyi helped me!" When he said this, Zhu Hongsan remembered that Zhu Hongyi was not tolerated by his stepmother and could only live in his home. The two were childhood sweethearts back then, but they did not expect that they would be like this for power now.

When Zhu Jiang saw his father mentioning Zhu Hongyi, he fell into deep thought, but did not dare to disturb him, so he had to stand by and wait.

Zhu Hongsan thought of the current Huguang faction from Zhu Hongyi. Zhu Hongsan really listened to what the Wuchang County Magistrate said in the morning. Land annexation is a very serious problem. Relying on his own power, these Huguang factions have occupied land in their hometown of Huguang, in Guangdong, Nanzhili and Zhejiang. According to the information from the Dongchang, Qian Lide and his family occupied more than 20,000 acres of grain fields in Nanzhili. This is only his family, and other Huguang upstarts have not yet counted it.

Zhu Hongsan has always been decisive in his work, either not doing it or doing it, but Zhu Hongsan has made it difficult for the matter of Huguang upstart.

The Huguang faction is different from the Guangdong faction and the Zhejiang East faction now, and the Donglin Party. The Huguang faction is the foundation of Zhu Hongsan. These people who left their homes and stayed in the house and followed Zhu Hongsan to escape. Now that you have eaten meat, can't we drink soup?

Zhu Hongsan did this back then. After arriving in Guangdong, he immediately distributed most of the unimportant factories and mines to these upstarts in Huguang. Zhu Hongsan originally thought that with his own support, these people could become early capitalists. However, there was a gap between reality and ideals. After making huge profits, these guys did not invest in expanding production, but bought houses and land everywhere.

Zhu Hongsan is also very troubled now. He is not worried about land annexation. Now that the population of the Central Plains is decreasing, there are a large number of land in Henan, Shandong and other places, so there will not be too many people and few lands. Zhu Hongsan is worried about the upstarts in Huguang who he supports, who have completely deviated from his original hope and have become the Junker landlord class of later generations, rather than developing into the pure bourgeoisie of Britain.

Zhu Hongsan thought about it for a long time but couldn't have a safe solution. He looked at Zhu Jiang beside him and couldn't help but feel the test, asking his son what he thought.

"Zhu Jiang, you said that the land annexation around Wuchang is serious now, but these are my old men, my friend, what should you do?"

Zhu Jiang was excited when he heard his father ask about these things. This was a test of himself by his father, so he must give a good answer.

Zhu Jiang thought for a while and opened his mouth and said, "Father, these uncles and uncles should get some benefits now, but everything has a limit. The situation in Wuchang is really too much! So my son believes that these people should be letting some of the land be given to the landless farmers!"

Zhu Jiang's idea was just right, and it was not a proper solution. However, Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything. Zhu Jiang used to be a playboy, flying eagles and lackeys in Guangzhou City, and then went to join the army and fought for three or four years. He could understand that he had no understanding of government affairs.

Zhu Hongsan didn't say good or bad, but just nodded after listening to Zhu Jiang's suggestions. Zhu Jiang thought his father was satisfied with his statement and was very happy.

After visiting Wuchang County, Zhu Hongsan left Wuchang County and returned to Wuchang Prefecture City. Wuchang Prefect Xu Fuyuan did not return to his yamen, but went directly to the yamen of the governor.

The governor Xia Yunyi was so busy that he was overwhelmed when he saw Xu Fuyuan come in and smiled bitterly: "Duke, I am so busy here that I am slapped the back of my head, but you are accompanying Your Majesty to wander around the mountains and rivers! Why are you back from the trip?"

Xu Fuyuan was from Songjiang, Nanzhili, and had close ties with Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi. He was one of the founders of "Jihe" and was one of the peripheral organizations of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty.

When Xu Fuyuan heard Xia Yunyi teasing, he did not ridicule each other, but whispered: "Yi Zhong, Your Majesty went to his hometown in Wuchang County today, something big happened!"

Xia Yunyi was stunned and asked, "What happened?"

"Yi Zhong, Wuchang County Magistrate Liang Guan Liang Yanru, you know! He is the one who organized the rebel army in Taihu Lake with Renzhong?" Liang Guan and Chen Zilong organized the rebel army in Taihu Lake. After Zhu Hongsan occupied Nanjing, he was recommended to be the magistrate by Chen Zilong.

Xia Yunyi Jing Xu Fuyuan had already reminded me that this was his own person.

"What's wrong? Did that Liang Guan anger anger His Majesty?"

"That's not, but Liang Guan broke the land annexation around Wuchang. Now the emperor already knows this!"
