    After a long time, Fang Congzhe said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the matter of relocation is of great importance. I wonder what your Majesty has in mind?"

    Liu Yishen also followed up and said: "Your Majesty, although it has been a long-standing practice to relocate people to protect the land, Shanshan and Shaanxi have already experienced relocation many times. There are many complaints among the people about this matter. If it is not handled properly, there may be changes. I would like to ask your Majesty to come from other states."  It would be better if the government relocates the people!"

    Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why I have moved the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi is for two reasons. First, developing and guarding Liaodong and the grasslands requires a lot of manpower. This is the established policy of the imperial court. I won't say more.  ! The second is to change the living environment of the people in the poor areas. The land of Shanshan and Shaanxi has been cultivated for two to three thousand years, and the land has long been overwhelmed. Therefore, I want to move the people from the two areas to Liaodong, and seal the mountains, forests and river valleys of the two areas, and prohibit planting.  Grazing is a way to cultivate the land. This is a century-old plan and cannot be changed!"

    Fang Conzhe twirled his beard and nodded: "Your Majesty is saying that Shanshan and Shaanxi have been the land of Guanzhong since ancient times. Thousands of years of cultivation have made the land there lose its fertility. Not only is the output small, but also when there is heavy rain, the soil will flow into the Yellow River with the water.  Among them, the Yellow River overflows and changes its course every year, mostly for this reason. If your Majesty can move the people from the two places and let the mountains and mountains rest for ten years, you will definitely leave a blessed land for your descendants!"

    Liu Yishen has studied hard over the years and is quite familiar with soil erosion and land cultivation. Therefore, he did not mention the relocation of people to other places. However, he had a premonition that this matter would happen to him, so  There are some things Liu Yishen still needs to ask clearly!

    "I dare to ask Your Majesty, how many people will be relocated this time? How will the people be resettled after they move to Liaodong and the grasslands?" Liu Yisui asked two very critical questions!

    "I have already thought about this!" Zhu Youxiao said confidently: "I initially plan to move one million people to Liaodong, but these people cannot move to Liaodong in a swarm, but must complete the migration in five years!"

    When Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui first heard that Zhu Youxiao was going to relocate millions of people, they were trembling with fear. It was a big project. From organizing the migration of people to supplying supplies on the way, and finally resettling them at the destination, it was an extremely complicated matter.  , if any link goes wrong, it may lead to a civil uprising!

    But they felt relieved when they saw that Zhu Youxiao would complete the relocation task of one million people in five years. One million people would be relocated in five years, which is 200,000 per year. Although this task is stressful, they can handle it at least.  past!

    Then Zhu Youxiaoyou said: "This relocation is unusual. I plan to mobilize the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi starting from the fourth year of Tianqi. We will start with the people who voluntarily migrate, and at the same time try to grow new grains in Liaodong to see the yield.  How about, if the new grain can be harvested in Liaodong, I believe many people will voluntarily move to Liaodong!"

    Fang Congzhe's eyes lit up again, and he praised: "Your Majesty's move is a great kindness. It is better to lure them with force than to lure them with force. As long as the news of Liaodong's abundant harvest reaches Shanxi and Shaanxi, I think many people will be willing to move to Liaodong in order to have enough food."  !¡±

    Liu Yishen also smiled and said: "In this way, the relocation of the people will be much smoother, and the court will not have to worry about a popular uprising!"

    "Although you can induce the people to move to Liaodong voluntarily by using inducements, most of the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi are tenant farmers. Even if they want to move, the landlords and gentry will not let them leave easily, not to mention that Your Majesty has to seal off Shanxi and Shaanxi.  Land, I'm afraid those people will never stop!" Sun Chengzong suddenly spoke, frightening Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui to the point of sweating with just a few words!

    "After the New Year, I will meet Yang Lian as the inspector of Shanxi and Shaanxi. I will work hard to catch the local tyrants and evil gentry in Shanxi and Shaanxi. If these people do anything illegal, they must be dealt with severely!" Zhu Youxiao said from the corner of his mouth.  There was a hint of chill, and there was already a murderous look in his eyes!

    When several ministers saw Zhu Youxiao sacrificing Yang Lian's machete again, they couldn't help but sweat for the landlords and wealthy people in Shanxi and Shaanxi!

    "However, the gentry is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's governance. Now that Zhu Youxiao wants to attack the gentry in Shanxi and Shaanxi in order to relocate the people, Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui still need to persuade him!

    "Your Majesty! Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been in the countryside. If the imperial court rashly intervenes in local affairs, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the local gentry. Although those people are not to be feared, they are still entrenched in one party. They are either clan elders or clan leaders. If they incite ignorance  The common people are against the imperial court, and there are many obstacles to your majesty's plan to relocate the people, so I sent Yang Lian to inspect the affairs of Shanxi and Shaanxi. I would like to ask your majesty to think twice!" Fang Congzhe's words are neither popular nor popular, but they are also in line with the current situation!

    Since ancient times, it has been a rule that imperial power does not go to the countryside. The imperial court's ruling power generally only reaches the county level, and the villages below are managed by the gentry. When a county official takes office, he must first establish a good relationship with these people, otherwise it will be difficult  Fulfill your term!

    Such a situationThe gentry's arrogance was even more arrogant, and the common people became more and more unscrupulous. The land annexation in the Ming Dynasty was mostly blamed by literati on the Zhu family's too many relatives. In fact, most of the land fell into the hands of these gentry!

    Therefore, Fang Congzhe¡¯s words can be said to be very pertinent. If the court is too harsh on these gentry, they will incite the people in the rural clan to cause trouble. At that time, the court will be unable to do anything but stare!

    ???????????????? In addition, most of these families have officials in the court, and those clan members who are officials launched an attack at the same time, and memorials flew like snowflakes. Neither the cabinet nor the emperor could stand it!

    However, Zhu Youxiao was not afraid of this kind of thing at all. He didn't take those landlords and wealthy people seriously. After hearing Fang Congzhe's words, he just smiled coldly, looked at Zhang Weixian and asked: "Old Duke,  How are the arrangements for team training going?"

    Zhang Weixian leaned forward and said: "Since receiving His Majesty's order, the Ministry of War has gathered a total of 30,000 retired soldiers from the Border Army and Guards Army for training. It is expected that the training will be completed in January or February next year. By then, they will  I can return to my hometown and start team training!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "These people have made great contributions to the country. The court cannot treat them badly. All soldiers are appointed as ninth-grade regiment training envoys. Officers are promoted to one level and appointed as regiment training supervisors. Then they are divided into zones and sent back to their hometowns to organize local regiment training."  !¡±

    Zhang Weixian responded: "Old minister, I obey the order!"

    Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui glanced at each other, wondering what Zhu Youxiao's intention was, but they already had a vague feeling in their hearts that the good days of the gentry in Shanxi, Shaanxi and even the entire Ming Dynasty were probably coming to an end!

    Zhu Youxiao didn't say too much about this matter. After arranging the team training with Zhang Weixian, he added: "I plan to go to Jiangnan next spring. Firstly, I will pay homage to Taizu Emperor Gao, and secondly, I will also take a look at Jiangnan."  People¡¯s livelihood, when the time comes, we will ask old Prime Minister Fang Ge to govern, so Mr. Liu Ge will go to the south of the Yangtze River with me!¡±

    Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui didn't know that Zhu Youxiao had this idea. Their faces suddenly turned extremely ugly when they heard it. But now that Zhu Youxiao had just ascended the throne, even if they no longer wanted Zhu Youxiao to run around  It¡¯s hard to stop!

    What¡¯s more, they are still using the banner of ancestor worship. In the Ming Dynasty, which ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, this reason was so powerful that there was no excuse to stop it!

    In fact, in the past, when the Ming Empire wanted to pay homage to its ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, it would always send a highly respected nobleman to do it for them. Unless they themselves were "foolish and unethical", even if they came up with the Forbidden City, they would be dismissed by ministers on the grounds that it was too expensive and too safe.  Block it back!

    But the emperor Zhu Youxiao is so special. He doesn¡¯t care about ostentation or airs, and he doesn¡¯t waste money wherever he goes. The most important thing is that this emperor¡¯s recognized force value is extremely high, and even security issues have been solved by himself!

    This made the majority of courtiers want to stop Zhu Youxiao from running around. It was a dog biting a hedgehog and had nowhere to bite, so they had no choice but to let it go!

    However, when Zhu Youxiao was traveling, Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui were still shocked. They wished they could be killed in the street to stop Zhu Youxiao's ridiculous behavior!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
