Chapter 306 The Law of Land Transformation
The team was left in Zunhua, and all the generals followed Sun Chengzong to the capital to meet the saint.
After entering the capital, Zhao Xing temporarily bid farewell to everyone, took the Six Thousand Jinyiwei for holiday, took his two wives home, and visited his frightened mother and younger sister.
At this time, walking on the streets was different from the past. There were no refugees in the capital, and there were no refugees. Everything had returned to normal and was more peaceful than before.
When I got home, I easily told my mother about my experience of going out. Of course, it was about victory and safety. It was about difficulties and dangers. It was about the Spring and Autumn style. Telling a battle story to my younger sister is not a story, but a storytelling, and it was exciting.
Eating the meal made by my mother, Zhao Xing felt that this was the sweetest and delicious thing in the world. Every time he took a bite, he was so happy that he hummed.
At this time, Zhu Chenguang and Guo Guangsheng chased after him and reported to Zhao Xing about the work of the Jinyiwei and the Fufu Department during this period. Zhao Xing sincerely praised their achievements.
Then ask: "Where have the refugees and refugees in the capital?"
Guo Guangsheng replied with a smile: "At the first time Huang Taiji retreated, the emperor sent the eunuch Fang Zhenghua to our Jinyiwei commander's yamen and conveyed the imperial edict. According to your promise to refugees and refugees that night, he contracted the unowned land outside the city to the people. Therefore, the refugees and the original refugees went to separate places outside the city. Now, the capital has finally returned to normal."
Zhao Xing remembered that he had promised the people on the first night of the Lunar New Year, and for this, he killed three big bosses in the court.
“Fangzhenghua?”
"Yes, it is the eunuch Founder. He is now the eunuch who is now appointed by the emperor to be responsible for the affairs of the imperial village. Fang Zhenghua brought tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace to survey the unowned land with the cooperation of our Jinyiwei Contracting Office, and then implement the contracting system."
Zhu Chenguang reported sadly: "This time Jiannu raged to a large area of the capital, killing more than two or three million gentry. I don't know how many people were captured into the grassland and Liaodong in advance. Therefore, the land without avails reached 4 million acres, which is really shocking."
Zhao Xing asked: "Fang Zhenghua, can he implement my policy well? Don't be like those eunuchs, because of greed, you can do this good deed to harm the people."
Zhao Xing really had a bad impression of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. Although he knew that Fang Zhenghua was a loyal servant in the late Ming Dynasty, wasn’t the loyal servant greedy? Did he spare no effort to harm the people? Not necessarily.
Guo Guangsheng smiled and said, "Sir, can you tell me why the method of contracting the land you proposed to be nationalized and can the contract be passed smoothly by the emperor?"
Zhao Xing shook his head, he really didn't know about this.
Guo Guangsheng explained: "It was the credit of this Fangzhenghua. You originally calmed down the mutiny of the border army in the northwest, and implemented this system in the family members of the border army, and Hong Chengchou's Yansui. At that time, Wang Chengen was concerned and quietly sent Fangzhenghua to Yansui and the border areas for two months. Fangzhenghua was also an operator and a fair person. Two months later, he returned to Beijing and reported his experience in the investigation to the emperor. Not only did he describe the pros and cons of this policy in detail, but he also looked forward to the future to the emperor. In the end, as long as he persisted, the people in the world had their own land, the people were rich, and the world was peaceful and prosperous, and the world was able to achieve peace and prosperity. Only then did he pass this smoothly."
Zhao Xing suddenly realized: "I, a person who specializes in people's attention, have also been stared at. It's omission," and then asked: "Will Fang Zhenghua implement this policy with 10,000 eunuchs this time, harm the people's actions?"
Zhu Chenguang smiled and shook his head: "This man is fair and honest, restraining his subordinates and strict, and killed forty or fifty eunuchs who took the opportunity to extort the people. Now, the people outside call him Fang Qingtian."
Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a pity that he is a eunuch, otherwise he would be a capable minister in the Ming Dynasty."
"Who said no? For example, the contract fee for these four million mu of unowned land was proposed by him. The minimum production rate of each mu can be one and a half stone. Then the commission charges six cents of silver, no longer other tyrants and miscellaneous taxes, and no longer endless corvee service. In this way, the people can obtain at least seven or eight cents of silver. Six cents of silver are three cents of the national treasury, and the Ministry of Revenue can increase its income by 1.2 million a year, which blocked the mouths of the cabinet and officials. The treasury was two cents of the treasury, and the emperor was very satisfied with it. What this man did most was that he took advantage of the situation and used the emperor's love for the people, and took advantage of the opportunity that officials also wanted to bite this piece of fat, and asked the emperor to persuade the cabinet that in the Ming Dynasty, a formal yamen that was now mainly composed of him, gathering officials and our Jinyiwei. The remaining one was counted as management expenses, so that this policy could be implemented for a long time."
Zhao Xing laughed: "Fang Zhenghua is indeed a capable person. This distribution plan is very reasonable and is truly comprehensive. The most important thing is that the formal establishment of the joint office can legitimately implement this policy in the long run."
Guo Guangsheng smiled bitterly: "But it has reduced the income of our Jinyiwei."
Zhao Xing waved his hand generously: "The department I originally suggested to set up was not to make money for the Jinyiwei, and it doesn't matter whether there is or not. As long as this joint yamen is established, I can't think of a hundred years. In the gentle breeze and drizzle, most of the land that was annexed in the Ming Dynasty will return to the hands of the people. In this way, there will be no more hunger in the world and the world will return to peace."
Zhu Chenguang sighed deeply: "Yes, this time the dynasty suffered a heavy blow, but after releasing so much land, it can increase the dynasty's income by one million every year, and also solve the disaster, the court's subsequent pension of refugees will be a big hit." Then he couldn't help but missed his thoughts: "How great would it be if Jiannu was in Shandong, where the land annexation was the most serious," he said.
Zhao Xing sprayed his face with a mouthful of tea. He pointed at Zhu Chenguang with a smile: "Old Zhu, his heart is so destructive."
Zhu Chenguang giggled awkwardly.
Zhao Xing restrained his smile and said with a heavy face: "In fact, why should Jiannu enter the enemy again? A great chaos in the northwest has begun. Wherever the bandits pass, kill the gentry and powerful people, seize their money, food and supplies, and continue to rob them. I don't know how much land there is without a master. Since we cannot eliminate the bandits for the time being, then turn this bad thing into a good thing."
Zhao Xing was right. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were corrupt, and they fled in Sichuan, Henan, Hunan, Hubei and Hebei. Wherever they passed, they were like locusts crossing the border. Countless landlords and gentry destroyed the family and slaughtered Guang. Prince Guang killed three of them, and the prince didn't know how many. The land of the unlimited release was extremely huge. In addition, the Qing Dynasty entered the throne and massacred the city dozens of times in Jiangnan, and the shaving order killed nearly ten million. In fact, this was the basis for the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong.
Guo Guangsheng understood Zhao Xing's thoughts. He planned to chase the bandits, and his heart was more vicious than Zhu Chenguang. However, Guo Guangsheng liked it very much.
"By the way, in order to completely maintain this policy and strengthen the determination of the emperor and officials, tomorrow, we will encourage the people who contracted the land to go to the Meridian Gate every day to shout loudly and the emperor's grace and the officials are clear and clear. What about the umbrella of the people, the letter of gratitude, and it is so exciting to go. Don't our emperor love face, don't officials love reputation, let's seize this point and nail this policy."
Zhao Xing had just finished speaking, but Zhu Chenguang and Guo Guangsheng looked at each other, then stroking their hands and laughing.
Zhao Xing said proudly: "My solution is better."
As a result, Zhu Chenguang smiled and said, "My lord's method, that Founder-in-Chief has been implemented long ago. He sent a special carriage every day to pull the people who contracted the land to the morning gate to the gate to thank the people. It is not necessary to coax the emperor and the officials. Now, the officials think that this is their virtue, and the emperor thinks that he is comparable to Yao and Shun."
