The side door opened wide, and Miao Xian walked in timidly but also happily.
"Meet the princess!"
"Girl, please get up."
Sun Xueniang hurriedly held her hand and said eagerly.
This woman is half a head taller than an ordinary woman, about five feet four inches, about the same height as an ordinary man.
She has a graceful figure, undulating waves, and extremely stunning appearance. She also exudes a cold feeling that makes people want to find out.
No wonder His Highness is so fascinated, it turns out that he really is not to be underestimated.
Sun Damiang's jaw dropped in shock, she stopped talking and remained silent.
In her impression, few people could compare to such a beautiful woman.
"I really want to make friends with her!"
Sun Damiang looked at the peak where she was even better than her sister, and couldn't help but longingly said.
In the Hanyang Prince's Mansion, because of the arrival of one more person, there were countless things happening inside and outside the palace.
…
Similarly, in the palace of Prince Shu, Zhu Yixi faced a lot of tests.
The palace maids were all chosen by the King of Shu. Zhang Xianzhong wanted to use them as his palace, but before he could do anything, he was suddenly defeated.
Nowadays, as the King of Hanyang, Zhu Yixi is only the king of the county at any time, but it is natural for him to live in the Prince of Shu's Mansion.
One by one, the palace maids and maids were wearing thin gauze skirts, revealing the charming waves of the mountains, which made him quite restless.
However, he finally understood that this was a critical period for taking control of Sichuan, and reputation was very important, and he must not be greedy for beauty.
Maybe there are thousands of people watching outside the palace.
"You all go down!"
For the sake of his hegemony, His Highness the King of Hanyang finally endured it.
"Yes!" The maids left one by one with disappointment.
The wolf-like look in his eyes just now really made him take a deep breath.
The Prince of Shu's Mansion, like the Imperial Palace, had no men, and the hunger and thirst among them was evident.
I endured it all night.
The next day, Zhu Yixi carried out a purge throughout Chengdu in the name of rectifying the city.
Just like Xiangyang City, first clean up the garbage in the city, and then clean up all the ruffians.
After that, it is time to rectify the generals from all over Sichuan.
Relying on the huge prestige of defeating the Western bandits, Zhu Yixi cut through the mess without any politeness and directly carried out vigorous reorganization of the surrendered Sichuan troops.
To put it bluntly, it is to eliminate the old and weak, disorganize the soldiers and generals, and finally, distribute rewards liberally.
Without the last item, everything before is just a cloud.
Here, I have to thank the King of Shu. The accumulation of more than two hundred years is simply a big gift.
Those who are eliminated will receive a settlement allowance, and those who remain will be rewarded with food and wine.
Zhu Yixi retained all those generals and integrated them into the Staff Department.
The plan is to eliminate half of them.
Naturally, this villain is Wang Yingxiong, the incoming governor of Sichuan.
This is also his name.
Zhu Yixi, on the other hand, personally sat in the Prince of Shu's Mansion and counted the property of the Prince of Shu.
The account books alone amount to dozens of boxes.
Zhu Mou was shocked and led the officials in the General Staff Department to look at the generals one by one.
Two full days later, Zhu Mou said in shock: "Your Highness, according to the calculations in the account book, nearly 70% of the land in the huge Chengdu Mansion belongs to the King of Shu."
"Seventy percent?" Zhu Yixi was really shocked. He took a deep breath and said, "If my guess is correct, many of them are donations, right?"
"That's right!"
Zhu Mou nodded and said: "The land is owned by the King of Shu, but the tenants have permanent tenure rights. Nearly half of the people in Chengdu have to pay land rent to the King of Shu."
This is what has been handed down from the Tang and Song Dynasties, that is, field skin and field bones.
The land is the permanent tenant right, which is also the right to use it. When the people sell the land to the gentry, they need to pay the land rent to the gentry, so they will not be displaced.
Those who own land are called Tiangu.
For them, the land needs to be cultivated anyway, and it doesn’t matter who does it.
The maturity of field bones and field skins is also the reason why the trend of donation became popular in the Ming Dynasty.
The common people only had to pay rent instead of heavy taxes and corvees, and the gentry got the land for free, and both were happy.
The biggest loss was to the imperial court.
A lot of tax revenue was lost.
"So, how much land rent can I get every year?"
Zhu Yixi quickly fell into the role and asked in a deep voice.
"The specific number of farms is no less than a thousand, and the land is measured in 100,000 hectares. If we calculated it last year, this autumn, we can get a million dan of rice."
"Millions of stones!!!"
Zhu Yixi squinted her eyes and fell into happiness.
Compared with public land, these are your own private property.
Zhu Yixi still understands the distinction between public and private.
He also doesn't plan to divide the land in Sichuan.
All land is owned by an owner, and once it is distributed, land disputes will arise.
However, Huguang is sparsely populated and needs to develop production, so it is most suitable for dividing the fields.
In this case, he could only accept it with a smile.
A few days later, while Zhu Yixi was intoxicated, the civil and military officials in Chengdu were planning to unite to petition the imperial court for King Hanyang.
This is not only needed by King Hanyang, but also by civil and military officials. If the boss is not promoted, how dare you ask for an official position?
Wang Yingxiong was more active and continued to connect.
Zhu Yixi saw this and chose to remain silent.
There is a world of difference between a prince and a county king.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of prefectures and princes, but only dozens of princes.
And being promoted to prince represents the improvement of his status in the royal family and the improvement of his reputation.
"Declare it to the world!"
Zhu Yixi said to Sun Changzhou: "Let the world know that I, Zhu Yixi, recovered this Sichuan."
"It was just a small fight before, but now my true abilities are revealed."
"As you command!"
Sun Changzhou concentrated. This was using public opinion to force the Nanjing court to make a decision. It was even more powerful than Zuo Liangyu's previous intimidation.
Invisible knives are often sharper.
"The Western thieves are nothing to worry about. You can send someone to Guanzhong to see what kind of regulations Li Zicheng, the defeated dog, has."
Injured dogs tend to bite more.
Historically, when Li Zicheng went to Huguang, he didn't know what he would make at this time.
"Why are you forcing me?"
In the palace of the King of Shu, a young girl cried with pear blossoms in the rain.
"Girl, this is all for your own good."
Yang Le, the eunuch in charge of the Prince of Shu's palace, had a fierce look on his face and couldn't help scolding him: "You are the most handsome in the palace. If you don't dedicate this body to the king, are you still thinking of leaving the palace?"
"You know, if King Hanyang is dissatisfied, hundreds of us will all leave the palace and be eaten alive."
"but I……"
The girl was smeared with rouge and pink, and was put on gorgeous and close-fitting clothes. The red bellyband was slightly propped up, making her look particularly tempting.
The palm-sized oval face was full of bitterness, and her beautiful eyes looked into the mirror, where she saw a graceful girl with her teeth biting her red lips. Facing the current situation, she was weak and weak.
When she thought of a tall man, eight feet tall, rushing towards her, her heart almost broke.
"Girl, this is for you and everyone!"
An old woman put makeup on her and said softly: "In the past few days, the King of Hanyang has not flirted with women, and he has not been unfaithful to us. There is really nothing he can do."
"But, I was selected by His Highness the King of Shu and will be included."
The girl said feebly: "The bride price has been paid to Jia's family. He should be the king of Shu. I want to keep the festival for him."
"If it is, if it is, then it is unchaste."
"You haven't had your wedding yet, what etiquette should you keep?"
The old grandma smiled, knowing that she was from a scholar's family, so she couldn't help but lectured: "For our work, not only you, but also the princess and princess, we have to get them."
"Break it well, you are lucky to have the favor of the King of Hanyang."
