Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 63
As a die-hard fan of Zhu Youjian, Qinglong would be really happy if he could guarantee that so many people would not be unemployed and could earn money for the emperor.

Qinglong entrusted Xiuchun Building to Chunhong and paid her a good salary.

"Chunhong, Daming is in need of money everywhere now, I hope you can manage the Xiuchun Building well, and you can count it as your own contribution to Daming.
If you really make a lot of money, on behalf of the current emperor, I can give you a salary of 300 taels of silver a year. "

300 taels of silver a year is nothing to those wealthy businessmen, but it is absolutely astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people.

Hearing that her salary was so much, Chunhong refused decisively while being happy.

Although she can earn a lot of money, it doesn't belong to her. She used to be just a tool for others to make money.

It's different now, her life was saved by an adult, if she doesn't have a life, how can she get any money, it's impossible for her not to pay back.

Chunhong knelt down in front of Qinglong:

"My lord, Baimen can't repay your life-saving grace. You don't need so much wages, as long as you have enough to eat..."

Qinglong smiled slightly, reached out to help Chunhong up, and then corrected her:

"Xiao Chunhong, remember, I didn't save your life, if the emperor didn't send me here to kill those so-called yellow merchants and distribute land to the common people.

It's impossible for me, Qinglong, to meet you, it's just a matter of lifting a finger.

Besides, you also have a lot of credit for being able to take down Xiuchunlou, a money-making den in the East.

After I go back, I will report to the Holy Majesty and will not treat you badly. "

As Qinglong said, he pointed in the direction of the capital, and Chunhong hurriedly turned to pay respects in the direction of the capital:
"The daughter of the people knocks on the white door to thank the Great Ming Sage, and wish the emperor long live long live long live long live!"

Qinglong didn't pay attention at first, but when Chunhong changed his words suddenly, he realized it.

"Xiao Chunhong, what did you call yourself just now, what did you call Baimen, it confuses me."

Chunhong smiled lightly, and did not answer Qinglong's question directly:
"It's nothing, the little girl felt a little bit for a while."

Speaking of this, some people may see who Chunhong really is. She is actually Kou Baimen, one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai.

It was brought to the capital by Cheng Guogong Zhu Guobi, and later sold to a Shanxi merchant at a high price. As a result, the Shanxi merchant suddenly fell ill and died.

After Jin Shang's death, she was kicked out of the house by the former spouse of Jin Shang.

Unfortunately, he was met again by Ma Quan, the boss of Xiuchun Building.

After Ma Quan forcibly obtained her, he sent her to Xiuchun Tower to make money for Dongyao.

In order not to be sold around by others, Kou Baimen often uses makeup to make himself less noticeable.

Even so, in Xiuchun Building, she was almost the most beautiful girl in the world.

If Ma Quan didn't die, he really didn't know what he would think when he knew that the woman he sent to Xiuchun Tower was actually Kou Baimen.

The matter was over, and she didn't want to mention it again, so she just regarded herself as Chunhong forever.

Qinglong was summoned by Zhu Youjian, and he didn't like going out to romantic places.

So I am not familiar with Kou Baimen, nor have I heard of it, so I didn't continue to ask.

……

"My lord, what do you think we should do if we catch a kidnapper from the East?"

Qinglong and Chunhong talked about good things, and as soon as they went downstairs, Chen Yuan stepped forward to report.

Look back at the man with the money rat tail in luxurious clothes.

"What's his name?"

"My lord, this man's name is Kong Fugui, from Shandong."

Qinglong frowned, then waved his hand:
"Kill them, check the other people, let go of all the guests who have nothing to do with Dongyao, don't embarrass them, tell them they can come at any time."

"Yes"

After a while, Jin Yiwei finished his interrogation.

The guests basically didn't have a big problem, and few of them knew the details of Xiuchun Tower, and almost all of them came to have fun.

After dismissing the guests, Qinglong ordered everyone in Xiuchun Building to gather in the compound, and those who did not arrive would be punished as treason.

Now everyone in Xiuchun Building is in danger, they all saw the high level of Xiuchun Building being killed with their own eyes, so how could anyone dare to resist.

Soon, the compound was full of people, not only the girls were all present, but even some servants who did odd jobs came to the compound.

These people lowered their heads nervously, not daring to look up.

Qinglong and Chunhong walked in front of the crowd, looking around at everyone, putting great psychological pressure on these people.

After a while, Qinglong cleared his throat and said:
"Ahem, let me introduce myself. I am the Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty. Now the Xiuchun Building has changed hands. From today on, Chunhong will be the owner of the Xiuchun Building.

In the future, they must obey Chunhong's command and dispatch, and no one can defy her.

Now I announce that those who do not want to stay in Xiuchun Building can leave immediately, and this commander will not make things difficult for you.

If everyone is unwilling to leave, they can stay in Xiuchun Building.

But you must not do anything that is not good for Xiuchunlou, otherwise Ma Quan will be your end. "

"" Chunhong actually became the owner of Xiuchunlou, it's incredible. ""

Many people cast envious eyes on Chunhong, and everyone wanted to be that lucky one.

But I can only think about it in my heart, no one dares to speak out, even dare to talk about it, the compound is still quiet...

Qinglong wanted to say a few more words,

"Report to my lord, a large amount of gold and silver was found in the secret room, please give instructions from the Commander."

"Oh, take me over there to have a look."

Qinglong asked Chen Yuan to accompany Chunhong to deal with the following matters, and he followed a Jin Yiwei to the secret room.

underground chamber
The piles of gold and silver in the secret room of Xiuchun Tower made Qinglong burst into joy.

Let's make an inventory, there are as many as one million taels.

"Haha, it's not easy. Does Xiuchun Tower make money like this? Come on, leave 1000 taels for Chunhong as activity funds, and take away the rest."

"Yes"

……

For Chunhong's safety, Qinglong left two Jinyiwei as bodyguards for Chunhong.

Chen Yuan was not to be outdone, and he left [-] soldiers for Chunhong to call.

Then Qinglong and others returned to Fan's house.

As for those people in Xiuchun Tower, Qinglong handed over the full authority to Chunhong.

He reckoned that Chunhong would not embarrass anyone else in Xiuchunlou except that unlucky prince.

Solved the matter of Chunhong, and added a Xiuchun Tower with a good income for the emperor.

Qinglong was in a good mood, ready to do the second thing for the emperor, which was to distribute the land for the common people.

Although Shanxi merchants are very rich, the common people are still very miserable. Most of their fields have been invaded by their collusion between officials and businessmen.

The mineral production here has begun to take shape, and many people risked their lives to dig mines for wealthy businessmen just to make a living.

This time, not only more than 30 wealthy businessmen were seized, but even those officials who invaded the land of the common people obediently handed over their illegal land.

After the inventory, Qinglong found that nearly a hundred small mines and more than 200 million mu of fertile land were inspected.

Naturally, the minerals will be returned to the country, and the land will be redistributed.

Although the harvest was very low during the Little Ice Age, it is impossible to fail the harvest in field planting, and it can still solve food and clothing.

Qinglong read out the imperial decree that had been prepared long ago, and all the fields were given to the people.

Zhangjiakou itself is not big, and almost every family can get a few acres of land.

After three years of tax exemption, there should be no problem with eating a full stomach later.

The people in Zhangjiakou never imagined that they would become the first place in the country to be allocated fields.

After getting the land, tens of thousands of ordinary people gathered around Fan's house.

They chanted Long live the Ming Emperor and were unwilling to leave for a long time.

Many had tears in their eyes as they felt they were being treated as human for the first time in years.
