"The rumors were spread by the gentry and merchants of Yingtian Mansion?"

Outside the Huagai Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked eastward. The sky was like a scorching sun. The emperor slowly stretched his arms and spoke softly.

Sun Gou'er, the chief internal officer who followed the emperor, bowed down and nodded gently: "Back to Your Majesty, the Jin Yiwei has verified that it is indeed the case."

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face and chuckled.

He looked back at the closed Huagai Palace where the court discussion was taking place behind him, with endless satisfaction in his eyes.

"This brat."

"It is false to relocate the people to enrich Cochin, but it is true to take the opportunity to retaliate against those who spread rumors."

"He is really a boy who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes and won't hold any grudges overnight!"

Sun Gou'er bowed his waist and looked at the emperor's behavior which was more satisfied than scolding. He also had a smile on his face and said softly: "I think your highness also has other intentions. In the past two years, the days of the Ming Dynasty have become worse and worse.

As he became more prosperous, His Highness became more and more mature through experience, and his every move was no longer the same as before."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and raised his eyebrows, glanced at Sun Gou'er, and hummed twice.

Sun Gouer lowered his head silently.

What should be said and what should not be said, especially when he is serving in front of the Ming Emperor who controls all the nine states in the world, he knows best.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "It seems that boy is really getting more and more outstanding. Even you, an old dog, have spoken for him."

Only then did Sun Gouer raise his head: "I just robbed Your Majesty of your words. I deserve to die."

"Hahaha! You old dog!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and pointed at Sun Gou'er, who was bowing in front of him.

Then his face gradually darkened.

Waving his robe, he turned around and looked at the Fengtian Hall in front of the Huagai Hall.

Within the Yingtian Emperor's City, the Fengtian Palace is the most majestic, as grand as the Jiutian Palace.

Standing in front of Huagai Hall, it looks like Mount Tai.

This is the pride of Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not pretty, and he was even slightly agitated.

The power of the countryside!

Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, through the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, no one has been able to transfer imperial power to the countryside.

That guy proposed today that the people of Yingtian should be relocated to Jiaozhi Road. Naturally, it cannot be that simple.

The relocation of the people will naturally create a power vacuum in the local countryside, and a long-term power vacuum is impossible to exist.

If the court does not fill it, new forces will naturally fill the gap spontaneously.

So.

That brat wants to promote the relationship between imperial power and the countryside!

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with light.

And this is why he requested a court meeting.

For thousands of years, from the tribal rule of the ancient ancestors, to the co-governance of the princes of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, to the system of prefectures and counties in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then to the system of noble families sharing the world, to the scholar-bureaucrats of the former Song Dynasty sharing the world with the world.

This world has never been owned by the emperor alone.

And the countryside in the world has never been a place that the emperor can touch.

Before I could be buried under the loess, Ming Dynasty was like the scorching sun in the sky right now.

If I am here, the Ming Dynasty will survive a hundred attempts!

In front of the Huagai Palace, the emperor's eyes are majestic and shining, comparable to the scorching sun in the sky.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of solution the brat will come up with."

A cry of expectation sounded in front of the Huagai Hall.

……

"The Ming Dynasty has been in Yingtian for twenty-seven years. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population of Yingtian was as large as that of Zhili."

"How many people are there in Yingtian today? How many people are there in Zhili?"

"When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the world's population was no more than ten million. Fei Taizong and Gaozong had twice the world's population."

"Now in the twenty-seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, the world's population has increased by one generation. The capital is overcrowded. Although the world's rich households are gathered together, the world's wealth is like a quagmire without circulation. The world's wealth is deposited here. Crushing, occupation and exploitation are common.

How to solve it?"

In the Huagai Hall, Zhu Yunxi faced all the officials from the third rank and above of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing and asked them calmly.

They did not agree to move the Zhili people to Jiaozhi Road.

It is easy to understand that Zhili is the most taxed in the world, and is also known as the most charitable in the capital.

How many stakes does a Zhili have?

Salt courses from Huaiyang and Yangtze, silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou, soldiers and grain and grass between Jianghuai and Huaihe.

Not to mention, the Huizhou merchants in Huizhou Prefecture are the richest in the world, and the wealthy merchants in Huaiyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the richest in the world.

Zhili is related to the current finances of the Ming Dynasty, and is also related to the posthumous interests of the princes in the court.

The court fell into silence once again.

No one can solve the problem Zhu Yunxi gave.

In recent years, the security problems in Yingtian City alone have doubled compared to the time when the People's Republic was founded.

Zhu Yunxi sighed.

"Chang'an in the former Tang Dynasty had a population of one million, but in just fifty years, the Li family frequently went east to visit Luoyang. Why?"

In the court hall, all the officials were silent.

There are many reasons for the former Tang Dynasty's Eastern Capital, political, military and economic.

However, Chang'an's growing population is also one of the important reasons.

At that time, Chang'an City was the richest city in the world, but it was also the most difficult to manage and the most polluted place.

But today.

Even Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Service, did not speak.

Zhu Yunxi turned his head silently and looked at his taciturn father.

In today’s court discussion, it seems that my father is just playing the role of a bystander.

As for Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji.

They are not high enough to participate in the court meeting.

So, Zhu Yunxi dropped a major signal.

"Sweet potato breeding is the main focus this year, and planting will be promoted in Yingtian Prefecture and even surrounding counties next year."

"The imperial court strives for stability in everything, and whether it is stable or not depends on the promotion and planting of sweet potatoes."

"This time, I want to change the system of Yingtian Mansion, directly under the control of the grain chief, Li Zheng, and village chief. In this way, the injured and meritorious soldiers in the Southern Expedition can be assigned to the local grain chief, under the supervision of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War, to formulate a draft

There is a fixed tax for planting sweet potatoes under an acre, and it is collected and paid every year."

How to promote sweet potatoes.

How to collect taxes.

How to create a tax collector.

This is the most important issue in today's court discussion.

Similarly, it is also an issue involving countless interests.

Compared with these problems, the migration of people from Zhili to Jiaozhi Road is nothing at all.

Now.

Zhan Hui and others looked at each other silently.

He was the first to go out and asked: "His Royal Highness wants to use the wounded soldiers who have served in the southern expedition to serve as local grain chiefs. I wonder if this method is like spreading a small man into an acre, and then he will implement all the ways in the world?"

If it is only implemented in Yingtian Mansion to give those injured who have meritorious services a safe place, then this matter can still be implemented directly.

But if it involves the entire Ming Dynasty, you have to be cautious, after all, the interference is too big.

This is an approach that does not give the local authorities any power or voice.

Zhu Yunxi nodded without any scruples: "In the past, the world used grain to levy rural taxes and accept local officials. There was often collusion between the two parties and exploiting the people. But the country and the dynasty were not willing to conquer the ministers every year, and the casualties were very important.

The Holy Heart is also worried, how can we protect the meritorious ministers of the country?
