Daming: Me!The auspicious beast unicorn of the old Zhu family

Chapter 54 Zhu Biao's Revival Plan!Important to the revival of Yangzhou!
"Ah this-"

"Why, can't you do it?"

"Sir, take orders."

Liu Bowen smiled wryly, and accepted the task with his arms crossed.

He is a smart person, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to complete this task according to His Majesty's wishes.

Those Confucian family members are all spoiled.

after all.

Throughout the dynasties.

Which emperors did not offer them up, but invited them over and treated them with privileges.

And His Majesty just intends to use them as 'tools'. If they are to be promoted based on their political achievements, I am afraid that those guys may not necessarily agree to it, and His Majesty is not the kind of character who is willing to compromise. Both sides of the quarrel can't end.

It's a chore.

As a person caught in the middle, it is definitely a dilemma.

If you are not careful, you will not please both sides.

but.

Who got the idea.

Did you bring it up by yourself?

Now I have to bite the bullet and do it myself.

Handing over the most difficult task to Liu Bowen, who is extremely capable, Comrade Zhu is naturally relieved. It’s fine if the Kong family knows people, but if they don’t, then don’t blame yourself for not being sympathetic.

but--

Just Liu Bowen's suggestion.

It is also impossible to solve the current situation of the defeat of Yangzhou City, so Comrade Zhu needs to brainstorm and listen to the audience for any better opinions.

Among them he had the greatest expectations.

It is his eldest son Zhu Biao.

This is his future heir, so naturally he should focus on training.

Now that there happens to be a ready-made 'subject', Comrade Zhu will naturally not let go of such a good trial opportunity.

"Biaoer, what do you think?"

"Reporting to my father, I feel that in addition to the shortage of officials, Yangzhou City also has problems such as sparse population, a lot of wasteland, and insufficient money and food."

Today's prince Zhu Biao.

Although only 13 years old, due to the careful training of Comrade Zhu.

Plus he's already very talented.

and so.

Regarding the various drawbacks that exist in Yangzhou City today, it is natural to be able to see one or two, and also think of a solution in advance. If you can't even manage a city, how can you talk about governing a country in the future?

"Oh, then do you have a solution?"

"My son has a method."

"tell me the story."

"The reason why Yangzhou City is sparsely populated is because of the exorbitant taxes imposed during Zhang Shicheng's rule. Now that the Ming Empire has been established, many oppressive taxes have been cancelled. It's just that those who were forced to leave don't know this situation for the time being. Therefore, it is necessary for the local government to publicize it so that the population can return.”

For the problem of sparse population, Prince Zhu Biao gave his solution.

in this era.

Due to the inconvenient transmission of information and the fact that it was only three or four months after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng, most of the people who had left their hometowns did not know about the tax changes in Yangzhou City, and they lacked a way to get information.

This requires the cooperation of local governments.

Let the people under Zhang Shicheng's rule return to their hometowns, cultivate the fields well, and stop wandering around as refugees.

Many people have the idea that their homeland is hard to leave.

This problem is not difficult to solve.

"Well, yes, there is progress." Comrade Zhu nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "What about the solutions to the remaining two problems?"

"Reporting to my father, rewarding measures are needed for reclaiming wasteland. Now Yangzhou City is barren. As long as my father gives an order to let the returning people reclaim all the fields, it will definitely stimulate their enthusiasm to the greatest extent and speed up Yangzhou City. speed of recovery."

this way.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, it can stimulate the enthusiasm of the people to the greatest extent. After all, the lifeline of the people is the fields. If they are not really unable to survive, anyone who sells the fields will be stabbed in the back.

On the other hand, what Daming pays is only uncultivated wasteland, but he can reap the prosperous Yangzhou City and a lot of taxes. This is definitely a bloody business.

of course.

In order to avoid malicious use of the rules.

Therefore, Jin Yiwei must be there to monitor. If anyone wants to use his brain, he has to see if his head is enough to cut off.

The duration of this 'preferential policy' must not be too long, about two years.

An order is also required.

The reclaimed fields must be cultivated by every household in the future.

It must not happen that you just want to take the land, but in the end there is not enough manpower, which leads to the waste of the land, and the situation where there is no food grown there, this is something that needs to be severely punished!

"Well, this plan can be improved a little, and it can be used directly."

"As for the issue of insufficient money and food in the end, it can only be supported by the imperial court. If rich businessmen, powerful, and aristocratic families are expected to help, they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to wantonly occupy the fields of Yangzhou City. More trouble."

"Biao'er is right."

Comrade Zhu nodded.

Although the Ming Empire is currently cash-strapped, but there are some issues of principle, even if they bite the bullet, they still have to do it.

Naturally, this matter cannot be done by those rich businessmen, powerful, and aristocratic families.

Who knows what those greedy guys will do in the end.

At that time, the policy formulated by Biaoer is good, but the final result is a mess because of the people below. This is something that Comrade Zhu absolutely cannot tolerate. For the sake of his eldest son, he would rather sing the black face himself Wicked man, let his son be a good man, and let himself bear all the bad reputation.

of course.

If they pay the court.

Then rescue Yangzhou City in the name of the court. If they get a reputation but don't occupy the land, that's not impossible.

Liu Bowen and Prince Zhu Biao's plan to revive Yangzhou City was also finalized seven or eighty-eight.

Like Zhu Bing, Zhu Bing, Yang Xian and others.

In this small court meeting.

That is, in front of a nodding transparent person, after all, whether it is Mr. Liu Bowen of Qingtian who has followed Comrade Zhu for so many years, or Zhu Biao, the prince of the Ming Empire, their status and status are not comparable to them. There was no better solution, so naturally they kept silent.

After questioning Liu Bowen and Prince Zhu Biao.

Comrade Zhu's eyes turned to Changhong, the sword master who closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"Sir, what's your opinion?"

"Mr. Qingtian and His Royal Highness have very good opinions, and I agree with you."

"We know that sir, you must have thoughts in your heart, so don't be so secretive, we don't know you yet."

"If you want to revive Yangzhou City quickly, you only need one very important thing, but I'm not sure if Your Majesty is willing to part with it, so I didn't plan to mention anything more before."

"What?"

"Xuanyuan—the ground cauldron!"
