Chapter 33
"The typhoon last month had a great impact on the autumn harvest."

Li Yunze, who was squatting on the valley in the village, grabbed a handful of rice and asked the nervous old man beside him, "How much is this year's harvest different from last year's?"

"Holy, the saint is above."

The old man who was so nervous that he rubbed his hands repeatedly lay down on the ground very flatly, "It's [-]% less than last year."

"Get up, there is no need to be so polite." Li Yunze kindly greeted the old man to get up, "After the autumn harvest, is there still enough for the family?"

The old man who was helped up spoke a lot more sharply, "The sage has reduced the land tax, and there is no recourse from the gentlemen, and all the nine outs and thirteen returns he owed before were all burned without counting. The sage also set a price of [-] yuan per stone. The price of food. I wait for Xiaomin, and my life will definitely be better than last year."

"Just live well." Li Yunze got up, "It's dinner time, let's have a meal together."

Wang Chengen leaned over, "Your maidservant will order the meal to be passed on."

Li Yunze squinted at the past, "What kind of meal to pass on, just eat it at the old man's home."

After everyone dispersed, Li Yunze called Zhu Yujian, who was accompanying him, to wander around the village.

"I already know about the matter of the Tang prince's son."

Zhu Yujian, who was handsome and handsome, saluted immediately, "I am ashamed, your Majesty is worried about trivial matters at home."

"Hey." Li Yunze sneered, "Prison the prince, abuse the children and grandchildren, dote on concubines and destroy wives. Tang Wang is really a scum in the clan. You are worried about family affairs. I have included Tang Wang in the blood alliance case and colluded with Fu Wang to plot against the sinners. In a few days, send him on the road."

Zhu Yujian was the later Emperor Longwu of the Nanming Dynasty. He insisted on resisting the Tartars, fought hard and insisted on integrity after being captured, and finally died of hunger strike.

As for Tang Wang's family affairs, the current Tang Wang Zhu Shuolin dotes on his concubine and wants to make his concubine's son his heir.

For this reason, Zhu Yujian and his son were imprisoned, and various abuses tried to force them to death.

This time Zhu Yujian was able to come out to Yingtian Mansion alive, it was Li Yunze's special request by name.

Perhaps because of being imprisoned and abused since he was a child, and experiencing the sufferings of the human world, Zhu Yujian can be regarded as a very rare normal person among the filthy clan of the Ming Dynasty.

This topic is difficult for Zhu Yujian to answer, after all, the current King Tang is his grandfather.

Although he was happy in his heart, according to filial piety, he couldn't show it.In the end, he could only keep silent and say nothing.

This is a village outside Yingtianfu City. Before Li Yunze leaves Jiangnan and returns north, he wants to see with his own eyes whether the lives of the people in Jiangnan have changed for the better.

Walking into the old man's home, a group of Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans crowded at the door of the simple kitchen, staring at the old man's daughter-in-law cooking inside.

"I've called you here this time. Apart from the matter of King Tang, I have something else to discuss with you."

Standing in the courtyard of the old man's house, Li Yunze expressed his plan, "Starting from me, the clan of the Ming Dynasty will only decrease and not increase. The existing ones will be expelled if they commit a crime. It is absolutely unambiguous."

Zhu Yujian lamented in his heart, but on the surface he saluted respectfully, "Everything is ordered by His Majesty."

"But I won't kill them all." Li Yunze looked at the adobe house in front of him, "I intend to open up overseas, and I hope you can set an example and apply to move the Tang clan overseas."

"overseas?"

Zhu Yujian was very surprised, he really hadn't thought about it.

"When you go overseas, the conditions in all aspects will be appropriately relaxed." Li Yunze said sternly, "the imperial court will also give some support. You are like the enfeoffment of the Zhou family in the Spring and Autumn Period, and you can expand overseas. that is."

After being released from captivity and coming to Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Yujian came into contact with a lot of information.

After a little thought, I saluted immediately, "I understand, I would like to move the Tang clan overseas. I don't know where your Majesty wants to send the Tang clan? I heard that overseas red-haired thieves are invading the coast, but let me go to that Yizhou?"

"What nonsense!"

Li Yunze, whose expression changed drastically, immediately scolded loudly, "Yizhou has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times!"

Zhu Yujian was frightened and didn't understand why Li Yunze was so impatient.

Li Yunze, who looked up at the sky, observed carefully for a while and found nothing changed, so he was greatly relieved.

Looking at Zhu Yujian who was in a daze, he reprimanded, "Be careful what you say in the future."

"Yes." Zhu Yujian didn't know why, so he could only salute repeatedly.

"The place Tang Fan is going to is Luzon, which is overseas."

"It's now occupied by big Franglers, and they want to attack Daming arrogantly. 2 people want to destroy Daming? Sand sculptures." Li Yunze said seriously, "What red-haired people, what big and small Franglers?" .When I go back to settle the matter in the north, I will immediately clean them up. Arranging you now is to be ready. Once everything is settled, I will set off with the fleet to Luzon."

"The future of the various feudal clans lies overseas."

"Sir, obey the order."

"Okay, let's have dinner together and try the farmhouse music in Yingtianfu."

In order to entertain the emperor and prince, the eggs in the old man's house, and even the hen that laid the eggs, were poisoned.

The immature piglets were also sent into the pot.

When Li Yunze found out, it was too late to stop it.

He could only tell Wang Chengen to give the full amount of taels after the meal, so as not to let the old man's family lose money, but to make some money.He's not that shitty old man.

A few days later, Li Yunze wrote Zhunzi with a vermilion pen on the final finalized note of the blood alliance case.

Before sending it out, Xu Xianchun rushed in to report.

"Long live, there are people in Yingtian City spreading rumors and exposing posts, slandering Sheng Gong."

"There is such a thing?" Li Yunze shook his head repeatedly and laughed, "Take a look."

"There are so many rebellious words, I am afraid."

"Bring it."

A few pieces of paper were handed over, and what was written on it all said that the emperor was cruel and cruel, and slaughtered Jiangnan.The six relatives do not recognize and oppress the clan.The Ming Dynasty must die because of the faint emperor.

"This style of writing." Li Yunze was not angry at all. "Compared with the jokers on the Internet, it is far worse."

"Who wrote it?"

In terms of doing things, Xu Xianchun is much more shrewd than Luo Yangxing.

Before he came, he had already investigated clearly, "Long live, I have already checked clearly. It was the remnants of Donglin Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui, Mao Pijiang and others who did it."

"Who am I? It turns out to be the Fourth Young Master of the Negative Society." Li Yunze nodded slowly, "What's the reason?"

Xu Xianchun, who was confident in his mind, immediately responded, "Long live, these traitors' families are all rich and noble families in the south of the Yangtze River, with countless fields. Your Majesty is in the south of the Yangtze River to clear the land, and all the land that their family robbed by ingenuity has been confiscated. If you are dissatisfied, you will use the posters to tarnish the reputation of the court."

"You do a good job."

Li Yunze picked up the ink brush again, and wrote the names of several people on the memorial, "Included in the remnants of the blood alliance case, and punished as an accomplice of King Fu."

"Long live."

After Xu Xianchun responded, he saluted again, "King Fu kept calling for injustice in prison and asked His Majesty to see him."

"Hey~~~"

Putting down the vermilion pen in his hand, Li Yunze sighed, "When Concubine Zheng started the national dispute, he was already guilty when she launched the three major crimes. He holds millions of acres of fields in his hands, and the tens of millions of people in the Central Plains have nothing to do. This is his greatest crime."

"Still complaining about injustice, what is there to shout about. I told him earlier that he would save his life by surrendering the fields, but he was unwilling."

"I am the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so I must stand on the side of the people of Ming Dynasty. Whoever stands on the opposite side, no king will do."

"King Fu removed the vassals, and the land in his family was returned to the inner government to distribute to the people of the Central Plains. The children of King Fu's family will be handed over to the new Tang King Zhu Yujian to discipline them, and they will be taken away together when they go to sea."

Before leaving Yingtian Mansion, the last thing Li Yunze saw was the magistrate Ma Shiying who was urgently summoned from Datong Mansion.

"Aiqing, you are the governor of Yingtian, assisting the governor of Liangjiang to handle the affairs of Qingtian."

Li Yunze's attitude towards this minister who fought hard and died for his country in history, but was scorned by scholars, Li Yunze's attitude was very gentle.

"Zhou Daodeng is tactful and dare not do things. You should keep an eye on him and urge him to do things. If he does well, he will be transferred to the capital after a while, and you will be the governor of Liangjiang. If you refuse to do things, go to Cao Cao Wen Zhao, take the Wang Ming flag and take it directly, and you will be the governor of Liangjiang."

Ma Shiying was very grateful, and immediately saluted, "Minister, you must do your best to repay the emperor's kindness!"

After crossing the river north and returning, when they arrived in Yangzhou City, they brought Wen Tiren who had been busy here to rectify the salt affairs.

He also summoned Gao Hongtu, who took over from Wen Tiren to rectify the salt affairs. After some encouragement, he finally went north along the Grand Canal and returned to the capital.

Cao Wenzhao stayed in the south of the Yangtze River and led five mixed battalions of the Longxiang Army to guard it as a backer for everything in Qingtian.

And Cao Bianjiao was promoted to the commander-in-chief, and he also returned north with five battalions of mixed Longxiang Army guards.

The fundamental reason for recruiting new recruits in Jiangnan, doubling the size of the Longxiang Army and mixing them up was that Li Yunze planned to wait for the soldiers in Jiangnan to perform meritorious service or retire due to injuries, and then return to his hometown to serve as the third elder of the village.Break the situation that the imperial power does not go to the countryside since the millennium.

Of course, this is a long-term matter, and there is no need to bring it up now, just make some preparations.

Yu Jia, who had no words and no burdens all the way, went all the way north, and returned to the capital on the ninth day of the winter month in the first year of Chongzhen.

Looking at the Chaoyang Gate in front of him, Li Yunze, who was already very good at riding, put his legs together and rode forward, "Finally back."

Coming back is not the end, but the beginning.

Going to the south of the Yangtze River is to solve the problem of money bags and ensure money and food.

In fact, there is no strength there, and it is very simple to take soldiers and horses and directly push each one to defeat them in the name of righteousness.

The real problem lies in the north.

Needless to say, the Tartars, the northern frontier army has basically been reduced to the private property of the big and small army leaders.

If you want to move their interests, you have to fight with real swords and guns.

The fundamental reason why Li Yunze never moved the Shanxi merchants was that the Shanxi merchants were inextricably linked with the frontier army.

Without the assistance of the frontier army, no caravan of any kind would be able to leave the customs.

"Give yourself a vacation first, and wait until next year to talk about other things."

Li Yunze, physically and mentally exhausted, rode his horse into the city and headed straight for the palace.

"This is the capital city." Li Xiangjun opened the curtain of the carriage, looked around curiously with big eyes, "It's really cold here."

Several girls in the carriage looked out curiously.

"Sisters."

Gu Hengbo, who has the demeanor of a big sister, stretched out his hand and lowered the car curtain.

"Now is not the time to look at the scenery, we have to think about it carefully, what will happen after we enter the palace."

"It's nothing more than water and soil to cover up, and soldiers to block it." Liu Rushi put down the book in his hand with a calm expression, "We don't cause trouble, and we must not be afraid of trouble. Unite and deal with it together."

"Sisters are of the same heart, and their profits cut gold!"
