Chapter 700: The Landlord's House Really Has No Food Surplus

There were mines and workshops to build railways, and manpower was urgently needed. Therefore, countless people with a population of 12 million could eat more. Moreover, they had a big appetite. They immigrated openly and used various means to attract people from all over the world.

The imperial edicts of the court and the official documents of the Ministry of Revenue were equivalent to opening a hole in the dam, and the flood peaks plummeted thousands of miles, and countless people rushed to Lang Son with the expectation of a better life, and went around the country.

On the other hand, this life is really impossible to live. Without a population, who will farm? In the past, there were too many people, but now, there were too few people, but now, there were too few people, and there were too many land. I used to recruit tenants, but you like to come or not. Since I came, I have to follow my rules. But now, it is Lao Wang's laborer, and you are willing to farm for Mr. Zhao. His family only has a few acres of paddy fields. It's better to come here to rent it. We are a family of Jishan, how could you treat you poorly? Your third brother is not young anymore, I have a girl, and I am also at the age of getting married. Oh, alas, alas, fellow villagers in the country, what do you mean? If you come here and rent my land, you will be considered thanking me. Bitch, you can collect these kilograms of white flour and half a kilogram of sugar first. Don't, if you do, if you do, you will say that if you come here and rent my land, you will be the only one who can thank me.

If you kneel down, you will be together. When your father is here, you have served my father. What kind of love is this? Nothing else, come tomorrow. Your second son will have to help you make some grains in the future. Don't worry, how can you teach your family to suffer? I am just talking about love. When the time comes, not only will the rice be enough, but you will have to give you a few big cakes to eat for the children. Remember to come early in the morning, but don't forget. Don't pay attention to him. His own mules are thin and can support you. Your family has so many strong laborers, with the elderly and the young, and can rely on his hundreds of kilograms of millet to support? Come and eat with me, and you will be sure that you are all fat and big.

In this way, when I say this, every word is full of tears and blood. But what is the way to do this? It is about to plow the spring of the next year, and no one will be found. If the farming time is missed, hundreds or thousands of acres of land will be deserted like this. If the land is not flipped over and the soil will be scattered, it will become wasteland in a year. Even if the tenants are recruited at that time, I am afraid that this book will be a big loss.

So now, some prefectures with a thin population are really unbearable. Some gentry even lose money to make a name for themselves. They have to plant the land, and if they don’t plant it, they will be deserted. So if they lose money, they have to hire people to plant it. Some people want to sell land simply, but now there are more land sellers, and the land prices plummeted. It turns out that one acre of good paddy fields on one acre is forty-two silver, but now even twenty taels of silver are ignored.

It's not bad that Jiangxi has. Most of the people-friendly officials there have a long-term future. Therefore, they can barely restrict the evading servants from expelling those wandering sect members. They also identify the fugitives and will never let a labor out of the wrong way. However, other poor and poor areas in the old, young and poor areas are different. On the one hand, this place is already hard and the people cannot survive. Even if there is no imperial edict from the court, they still have to find a way out. On the other hand, most of the local officials here are placed here.

There is no hope and no future. I am still thinking about what to do in political achievements every day, so I just take the opportunity to make money and take a step forward before talking. As for the gentry's crying, pinching their noses, and saying a few words with a high voice. This is the decree of the Ministry of Revenue. There are official documents from the Ministry of Revenue. How dare I stop it? The Minister of Revenue is simple and cannot stop this trend. The county magnanimous officials are small and low. If so, I can understand your sufferings, but I hope that all the local sages can understand a little about the difficulties of this county.

It really makes people helpless to say such shirks. In Hunan, there were a few gentry who had a strong temper and hanged them directly. The Hunanese people were so strong that they could not bear the anger. If they caused such sensational things, they would be cursed by the world, saying that it was a plan to move the people, which actually shakes the foundation of the country and makes the gentry in dire straits.

As many news came out, everyone suddenly realized how terrible the power of Lang Son was. They were so popular that they were so popular that they were so popular that they were so desperate that they would live a peaceful life. Siam and Jiaozhi could not continue like this.

The complaining confession was sent to the capital like snowflakes, and it was really wailing everywhere, as if this place had already fallen into hell on earth. The gentry finally began to rebound. On the one hand, they created momentum in the local area, or went to the government office to cause trouble, or contacted the relationship in the capital and complained all over the world.

The Ministry of Revenue has reached the forefront, but the Minister of Revenue He Jianxing was reluctant to give up. He has done the offending work and there is no reason to give up halfway. Otherwise, if you stop, people may not be grateful to you and still curse you. The people behind you will feel that you are timid and will not please both sides.

Therefore, He Jianxing continued to insist. Anyway, he couldn't come out to stop him. He was still in charge of the order. Who could do anything?

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

Zhu Di was not a blind man, and he was so fussed that he felt that things were a bit natural. His original intention was good, but he might not have wanted to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the emperor and the literati were still with him. He could kill Fang Xiaoru and Qi Tai, but he might not have to kill all the gentry. Now the sued lawsuit is very strong, and all the officials are in a turmoil. This statement has reached four million fugitives, and they are all sent to Siam. There are also rumors that the people of various provinces are volatile. If the court does not stop the migration of the people, a disaster will be right in front of us.

So, just as the end of the year was approaching, the prince was ordered to enter the palace.

Of course, I still want to hear the meaning of Prince Zhu Gaochi in this matter.

After all, he once presided over the Ministry of Revenue and was his own son. It is reliable to ask him about this.

Zhu Gaochi did not dare to neglect it. In fact, Zhu Gaochi had already realized the power of Langshan. He had ordered people to inquire in Langshan. The news from there really surprised him. Although there were some things that could not be believed in, it was a bit alarmist to rely on a group of merchants to create a prosperous place. However, Zhu Gaochi felt that the wings of the Hao family were already hard, and the front desk of the Hao family was King Zhao, so he must not be taken lightly.

He quickly entered the palace and crossed the Jinshui Bridge. Xie Jin happened to come from the warm pavilion. Zhu Gaochi called him and said, "Mr. Xie came from his father?"

"Your Highness of the Crown Prince." Xie Jin bowed and looked at the crown prince deeply. During this period, the two of them had less contact, just to avoid suspicion. However, when they met in the palace today, they would not say a few words, but instead they might be suspicious.

Xie Jin nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is asking about spring plowing this year."

Spring plowing...

What is going on in the southern provinces is that moving people and farmers hurts them. The father asked Xie Jin about spring farming, which must have a lot to do with what he had to ask about himself next. Zhu Gaochi urgently needed to know Xie Jin's opinion on this matter, so he smiled faintly and asked without saying a word: "Oh? But I don't know, what do you say, sir?"

Xie Jin said seriously: "I will tell Your Majesty that the cabinet will not neglect the matter of persuading farmers. At that time, a variety of measures will be taken, so that the spring plowing will not go wrong in the coming year."

Seeing that Xie Jin's answer was stable, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but ask: "It's just that this migrant will not hurt farmers."

Xie Jin smiled: "It depends on what it means. It is all the boundaries of my Ming Dynasty. It hurts the farmers in Yunnan, Guizhou and Huguang, but got the grain from Siam. If it is limited to Guangxi, Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces, it is of great importance, but looking at the overall situation, there seems to be nothing wrong."

When Xie Jin said that he agreed to move the people, Zhu Gaochi was confused and couldn't help asking: "Mr. I mean, this move is good governance, but recently, there have been many good gentry exaggerated people. When I heard this, I also felt that this matter is not small and should not be underestimated."

Xie Jin's face was calm, but he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, of course, you should not underestimate it. In recent years, Your Highness has been the crown prince and the crown prince of the country. But the subordinates have praised Your Highness but not many people have done much. Why? It's just that there is no benefit. Look at the King Zhao, it is said that many people run for him and work hard, especially the students of Chen Xue. Why is this? It's just that someone supplies money and food behind them and gives them benefits. Your Highness understands that you can't let people wait for the crown prince to ascend to the throne and then follow the dragon, not let them suffer any losses, and not let them know that there is no Prince.

Even if they cannot save their lives, they will definitely not be willing to work hard. If that is the case, why would your Highness better use Hao Fenglou and He Jianxing, the Minister of Revenue, to teach them a lesson? This is the beginning, they knew that it was painful. When they really knew the pain, these people naturally twisted into a rope. When His Highness wanted to use it, they could wave it like an arm. Therefore, there is no need to deny His Highness's plan to move people, nor is it necessary to stand up for those gentry who suffered losses. I have a saying that comes from the heart. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to listen?"

Zhu Gaochi seemed to have some enlightenment and said, "Mr. Jie just said it's okay."

Xie Jin said word by word: "If dozens of gentry die and some people are not letting them lose their fortunes, your highness cannot truly achieve what everyone wants. If that is the case, what's the point of viewing on the wall?" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
