Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 509
The sixth child is no longer the first brother, and he knows how to relieve his hatred without falling into the trap.

So he tortured Xiong Qitai and others with harmless torture, and at the same time rushed to report to the capital for [-] li at the first time, lest someone wicked would file a complaint first.

Forbidden City, Hall of Martial Arts.

Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the important memorial sent by the prince, and asked casually, "Is there a letter from Lao Liu?"

"Go back to Emperor Father, we have it." The prince pulled out the secret from his sleeve and reported: "I am planning to report to Emperor Father."

"Why don't you take it out quickly?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded the boss with a glance and said, "We are not concerned about that brat, we are worried about the situation in Jiangxi. Can he handle it?"

"You two are exactly the same. You are clearly worried about it, and you never say soft words." The crown prince sighed, and handed the secret report to his father, saying: "Lao Liu has already investigated the case clearly, and the murderer has also been brought to justice." in law."

"So fast? It's only been a few days since he's been here?" Zhu Yuanzhang took it in surprise, put on reading glasses and looked at it carefully: "I thought it would take a month or so to make any progress."

"Yeah, the sixth one is fast." The prince also admired, and then said in a low voice: "According to what he reported, Jiangxi's officialdom is already rotten."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, and his face gradually turned blue, obviously irritated by the report from the sixth child.After reading it, he slapped the table hard, and cursed angrily: "The governor of a province openly killed the imperial envoy, isn't it really bad?!"

"That's right, Liu Canzheng, a high-ranking official in a province and a pillar of the country, was brutally murdered by his superiors. It is shocking to put it in the history books." The prince sighed.

"Well, how can we explain to Mr. Liu?" Zhu Yuanzhang said very depressed: "At the beginning, when we wanted to let Liu Lian go to Jiangxi, he didn't agree, saying that his eldest son was too weak to make a living, and this trip would be dangerous.

"We still laugh at him, the older he gets, the less timid he is. My son has gone out for training so many times, and he dare not let him go out at the age of [-]. At that time, we vowed that if something happened, we would pay him a son." That’s right. This is great, what should we pay him for?” Boss Zhu struggled for a while, thought for a while and said:

"Do you want to adopt Lao Qi to him?"

"Father, are you going to compensate Mr. Liu for an old son, or give him a younger father?" The prince couldn't help crying and said, "I went to Mr. Chengyi's house to condolences to Mr. Liu the day before yesterday, and he didn't blame the emperor, saying that It was the path Liu Lian chose."

"Oh, Mr. Liu said that, but we feel even more uncomfortable." Zhu Yuanzhang braced his hands, and said with a jade belt on his waist: "After you go back, draw up an imperial edict, and all those involved in the case will be punished for treason! The murderers Xiong Qitai, Ma Qing and Liu Kong peeled the skins and pulled the weeds, and hung them on the city wall of Nanchang forever, as a warning to everyone else!"

"Yes." The prince nodded, sighing inwardly, this is thousands of lives.But the mouse pulls the shovel—the big head is still behind.He also took out the memorial that Liu Lian had asked the sixth child to submit, and showed it to his father.

The content of the memorial is pretty much the same as that of the letter to Lao Liu, except that there are no such exclamations and complaints.Of course there is no last sentence...

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, cigarettes are curling up, and needles can be heard falling.Can clearly hear Zhu Yuanzhang's heavy breathing.

After reading Liu Lian's memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the back of his chair, looked up at the algae well on the top of the hall, and murmured: "Boss, after reading Liu Lian's memorial, do you know how difficult it is to do something?"

"Yes." The prince said with emotion: "Corrupt officials, country gentry and elders, as well as Jiangxi's unique Zhengyi, these people are intertwined and colluding. Officials who want to do something, face this monolithic situation, and easily bump into it." His head is bleeding, but he is like Liu Lian, risking his life."

"It's really difficult." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, sat up straight, and said with renewed enthusiasm: "But it is precisely because of the difficulty that we men have to gnaw down this hard bone, and we cannot leave the problem to future generations. Those who were born in the deep palace and grew up The woman's later emperors don't even have the ability or the courage!"

"Indeed." The crown prince nodded and said, "All dynasties and dynasties were created by the founding of the country, and only maintained by later generations."

"Therefore, Jiangxi's Yellow Book and Lijia must be piloted successfully, and then implemented nationwide." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "We don't mind killing a bloody river. If more people die in Jiangxi, then other provinces will die less." Some."

"Father, we still have to kill as few people as possible." The crown prince persuaded: "Most of these people are not born bad, they are just selfish. Anyone in that position will do things that harm others and benefit themselves. But as long as they move their nests, They can also become good citizens who obey the law.”

"Are you saying that there will be another Jiangxi immigrant like the Shanxi immigrant?" Zhu Yuanzhang touched his increasingly round cheeks and thought: "These two provinces are really similar. Both have more mountains and less land, and are densely populated. There are many provinces. And the problems all stem from that."

"Yes." The prince nodded.

Jiangxi has a dense population of 200 million, ranking second in the country.However, Jiangxi's arable land area ranks last in the country.

It is indeed somewhat similar to the situation in Shanxi.Both provinces are dominated by mountainous areas, so you can build a stronghold in any mountain depression, and there is no need for thousands of troops to rush in. It is an excellent place to save your life in troubled times.

Therefore, at the end of the Song Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people from other provinces fled here one after another, forming villages to protect themselves, resulting in a sharp increase in the population of the two provinces.

But when the world was peaceful, those villages all over the mountainous area became the fortress of the gentry clan against the government and formed their own world.The situation of Yintian and Yinhu in Jiangxi is so rampant, precisely because of the special geographical environment, which gave those big households the courage to confront the imperial court.

The prince's level is indeed high, and he saw the crux of the problem at a glance, and gave a solution: "The adjacent Huguang is sparsely populated. The population of the province is only 400 million, and because of the war, a lot of land was abandoned. If you migrate from Jiangxi Filling Huguang with a part of the population can not only solve the overcrowding problem in Jiangxi, but also allow Huguang to quickly recover its population."

After a pause, he laughed again: "By the way, the resistance of Lao Liu's implementation of the Yellow Book will be much smaller. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

"Well, that's not a bad idea." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Whoever dares to sing the wrong tune will be sent to Huguang, and the rest will be honest and obedient."

In fact, Boss Zhu has already thought about this.Filling Huguang in Jiangxi is easier than immigrating to Shanxi. One is that it is close; the other is that the waterways are unimpeded;

It's just migration, not just throwing people there, but also providing them with tolls, seeds, cattle, farm tools... so that they can take root as soon as possible and live and work in peace and contentment. This will cost a lot of money.

If it weren't for printing money now, Boss Zhu wouldn't even be able to withstand the big immigrants from Shanxi.Opening the Jiangxi copy now is really beyond our capabilities.

"It's just the cost, where do you plan to get it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the prince.

"I don't know, but I believe someone can solve it." The prince replied solemnly.

"Ah, boss, you've learned it badly now." Zhu Yuanzhang understood, and the two of them smiled at each other.
