After this time, no matter how stupid He Jianxing was, he knew that he had completely offended the prince, Xie Jinren and others, and he knew that he had already cut off his own opinions. At least in Jinling, he had become a rat crossing the street.

In this case, there is no possibility of being favored, and then you can only give up.

He Jianxing knew what power he could rely on in the position of Shangshu, and knew what he should do and how he should do to consolidate his position.

So he took office immediately and immediately began to resist the objections and prepare to migrate the population. It is precisely because of this that Gucuo was over. In this Ministry of Revenue, since He Jianxing's generation of Shangshu was determined to continue to do this, who dares to object?

A huge migration movement began.

The households in Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are already registered, but He Jianxing does not intend to move the registered households, but his purpose is to flee the households.

Starting from Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty implemented an extremely strict yellow book system, and everyone must be registered. The division is unprecedented in detail from private households to music households, military households, even medical households, craft households, etc.

It’s just that the system is a system, but due to the strict household registration and many strict requirements, the number of people fleeing households has gradually increased.

Among them, it is the most serious in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, because there are many people and few lands, and the land is also barren. If the court rules, if the grain production is reduced, I am afraid that everyone will starve to death long ago. In order not to starve to death, I can only transcend my household registration and do some other business, or just wander out.

Fleeing households and refugees also appear. In Jiangxi, the two lakes and Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, there are actually not many such things. It is probably because it is richer here and the imperial court's control is stricter, while other places have extremely serious problems. The most important thing is that behind this fleeing household, there is a top-down chain of interests.

This is actually a microcosm of the entire Ming Dynasty. The things strictly prohibited by the court have become means for gentry groups to seek benefits. Just like fleeing households, they often contain the most fleeing households. But these gentry. There is only one reason, that is, fleeing households escape from the village and are desperate. Ordinary families dare not take them in. After all, if you are not careful, you may suffer a catastrophe. But the gentry is different. They are related to the government. They are not afraid of making things difficult for others. For them, fleeing households are often lower than those employed by private households. As long as they are guaranteed to starve to death, they can let them do their jobs for you. Anyway, they have nowhere to go. Even if they beat, scold, humiliate, or even beat them to death at will, it doesn’t matter.

Therefore, the issue of escaping households is a problem of gentry. The same principle is that the court strictly prohibits going to sea. The gentry can go to sea because of privileges. No one can go to sea. But they can clear the relationships themselves, so they achieve the purpose of monopoly. In addition, there are merchants. The Ming Dynasty was extremely unfriendly to merchants. For ordinary families, merchants were almost the same as seeking death. Any offending a small official in a county may cause your family to be destroyed. However, gentry is different. They often retreat behind the scenes, bring out personalities to do business, and they provide relationships. The people in the front of the stage accumulate wealth for them. Only with relationships can the money they earned will not be snatched up and will not be eaten and entrusted by checkpoints along the way. Therefore, in this court, there is no such business name behind any minister. These business names seem to have nothing to do with them, but when traveling around the world, anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is their relationship, and who dares to make things difficult for them.

This is also thanks to the old man Hongwu, because of the various Jinling, it is equivalent to giving these people who can ignore the ban a shortcut to make money. In fact, they may not be a low-key businessman, because their brother-in-law, third nephew and seventh uncle are mostly running businessmen, and they send a lot of money to their mansions every year. They are low-key businessmen, but only civilian merchants, and a group of merchants led by Lang San, and are by no means discriminated against officials and businessmen. By the same token, they do not support the ban on the sea. What they prohibit is only ordinary people who go into the sea to sell goods. Because they have the ability to clear the joints, naturally, their own agents will deliver the goods to all parts of the world. It is precisely because of such a monopoly that the same piece of silk can make dozens or hundreds of times profits.

The same is true for fugitives. They are naturally criticized and wish they could peel off these troublemakers who ignore the imperial laws. But then again, the one who takes in fugitives is afraid that they are their relatives and friends. In fact, this is not a contradiction. Fugitives can escape, but others cannot take in. If everyone can take in, the fugitives will naturally have the capital to bargain. However, fugitives cannot take in. If they want to survive and not be captured by the government, they can only enter my door. Naturally, fugitives will be like animals in their eyes, and even have a lower value than animals, which is enough for them to exploit.

So the first thing He Jianxing did was to investigate the population, but it was not easy to investigate the population. After all, most local officials wore pairs of gentry. No matter how they issued a letter of approval, they were afraid that they would just be perfunctory.

Since this is the case, then the only way to remove the firewood from the cauldron is to remove the firewood from the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue has drafted a charter, which has been approved by the palace. That is, all fugitives and refugees who are willing to surrender can be reorganized as private households. Not only that, they also allocate certain amount of money and grain to make them go to Siam to reclaim. The checkpoints along the way must not be difficult. If anyone reports, they will investigate it thoroughly.

In fact, only God knows how effective the official documents are, because local officials and gentry will never be a fuel-efficient lamp. There are countermeasures from above and below. This is a stubborn disease that has been around for thousands of years. How many people can the Ministry of Revenue have, and they are all in Jinling, with high mountains and far away emperors. What can you do?

Everyone originally thought that this was just a gust of wind, and as long as the bottom was not messy, there would be no mistakes.

For example, those fleeing households, who are so stupid, how could they know the benefits of voluntarily surrendering? After all, public opinion is in the hands of the men. If the men say it is not good to surrender, who has the courage to do so?

But the men seemed to have forgotten that the Lang Son Association received this order and was immediately in an uproar.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rich. Once you miss it, you will be a real fool.

In the past two years, Lang Son's meeting has developed very rapidly. The main financial path is population. What they did in the inland was illegal, but now it is completely legal. Not only that, these meetings have their own territory using various relationships to penetrate the provinces in the southern provinces. For example, the strongest Tongxinhui of Lang Son, their main territory is Guangxi. In this area of ​​Guangxi, every prefecture and county has their stakes, these stakes, or rich

Households, or some scholars, are responsible for sending money to them, and their task is to make friends with officials, from prefects, magistrates, to clerks, to clerks, waterway inspections, and even the guards of checkpoints. They are the goals of their friendship. A large sum of money is delivered to these people every year. Not only that, some "unscrupulous" scholars are also bribed. As for the servants in prefectures and counties, they have long been holding hands with their brothers and calling them brothers.

It is precisely because of the convenience they provide that a continuous stream of population enters Lang Son, and now, there is obviously no need to sneak around anymore.

The gentry and landlords naturally kept reminding the tenants, especially those fugitives who were sheltered, that the court asked you to surrender, so that you could teach you to fall into the trap. Once you go, you might be cut off your head. On the other hand, the association gate is constantly preaching through various relationships, talking about the benefits of going to Siam, what is the future when you have a household registration, you don’t have to worry about being afraid, and the government will also distribute farm tools to let them cultivate the land by themselves.

The public opinion of both sides was circulating like crazy in various provinces. In order to compete for the right to speak, no one was a good-for-nothing person. Some disciples of the escort simply went to secretly contact those fugitives, threatened or tempted, and tried their best to do anything.

The gentry also became popular, so they organized some guards to expel the nearby foreigners everywhere.

But once the opening is opened, the fugitives will be stopped. Those fleeing households will have miserable lives and are tempted by all kinds of temptations. They will go to the government to report on their own. On the one hand, they will have the benefits of eating and not make things difficult. On the other hand, the imperial edict says it very clearly. Once the report is reported, they will be unable to take advantage of it, so they will have the courage to deceive their superiors and subordinates.

After that, these people were naturally safe and sound. Even when they were sent to Siam, there were people taking care of them along the way. In addition to the government distributing some food, they would try their best to provide some help, because when they arrived at Liangshan and Liangshan, there were rewards, and they were given according to the head.

As a result, the others were moved. They reported the fugitives, and even if they were not fugitives, they felt that life was difficult. Some simply hooked up with the people at that time, first ran away, and then pretended that they were fugitives and went to the government offices in other places to report.

There are more and more fleeing households, and if you don’t check it, you can’t tell it. Once you check it, it can be considered a shock to the government and the people. The population is as high as millions. Just this, maybe it’s the tip of the iceberg. God knows how many real numbers are.

But for the other side, that is, the gentry, the losses this time were heavy. For fugitives, the fugitives were equivalent to slaves. Because of their protection, they could not be protected from fugitives being pursued by the government. However, now, these slaves have transformed into farmers in Siam, which has greatly increased the cost of their farming.
