"I decided to use all the construction silver issued by the imperial court for farming and construction."

"Notify those people in Yangzhou who are fleeing from famine from now on"

"If they are willing to come back, the prefect will pay them the travel expenses."

"If he does not return within the stipulated time limit, the prefect will confiscate his land and return it to the court"

"Furthermore, during this period, I, Yang Xian, will work in the fields with everyone."

"Moreover, all officials in Yangzhou must also cultivate the land themselves."

"Anyone who slacks off will be killed without mercy!"

"I believe that under my leadership, Yang Xian, the number of crops cultivated in the first year will be……"

Everyone was encouraged by Yang Xian's actions.

Many refugees are willing to return to Yangzhou, which has been devastated by war and is everywhere, to cultivate the land.

Yang Xian was also a ruthless man. From then on, he wore patched coarse cloth and participated in farming in front of everyone.

Drinking clear soup and little water, even when it snows.

As for the farmers, they worked even harder and worked overtime.

It is precisely because of this hard work that the dilapidated situation in Yangzhou has improved.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass excitedly, and felt much relieved when he raised it.

Point to the scroll and look at everyone

"Look, this is the talent we like"

"We read it right"

"The system detected that Zhu Yuanzhang was excited"

"Add 5000 to the excitement value"

"Add 8000"

"……"

Zhu Chen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's admiration for Yang Xian and wanted to roll his eyes. What's wrong with this?

The one below is more exciting.

Prince Zhu Biao was deeply moved when he saw Yang Xian working hard in the fields in the snow.

"Yang Xian can indeed endure hardships"

"But why is Yang Xian on the list of cool officials?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed slightly, and he also had great doubts in his heart.

Could it be?

For a moment, he felt bad.

The picture on the scroll continued.

"How dare you embezzle the food that the people of Yangzhou have worked hard to grow and go to a brothel to drink flowers?"

"You clearly turned a deaf ear to the rules I set."

"In this case, I will stand you naked and cramped at the gate of the magistrate's office as a warning to others."

Yang Xian found out that an official under his command had embezzled some food and went to a brothel to live life.

He was furious.

The official was frightened and begged desperately for mercy.

After getting no results, he pointed at Yang Xian and yelled

"Yang Xian, you will be punished!"

"When it comes to what I do, I can't even compare to you."

The official was dragged down and dealt with.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but stand up, with admiration on his face.

He pointed at the scroll quite high.

"Look, this person is more ruthless in dealing with corrupt officials than we are."

"Why should corrupt officials use the food that the common people have grown so hard to drink?"

"Yang Xian should do this in order to prevent his subordinates from making mistakes."

Yang Xian's words and deeds are really to Zhu Yuanzhang's liking.

The more he looks at it, the more Zhu Yuanzhang likes it.

"The system detected that Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited"

"Add 8000 to the excitement value"

"Add 10,000 to the emotional value."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so excited, Zhu Chen couldn't help but hold his forehead and looked away.

Old Zhu, how excited you are now, how hard you will be slapped in the face later.

Zhu Chen hesitated to find a reason to retreat..

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would get angry and it would easily affect the people present.

Prince Zhu Biao's eyes widened at this moment, as if a little burst.

"This method of dealing with officials is too harsh."

"But thinking that he was doing it for the people and for Yangzhou, I could barely make it go."

"But this is always hard to accept."

Zhu Biao's emotions were a little complicated. He always felt that this was not good.

But Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded:"You are just too kind."

"If corrupt officials are not severely punished, they will become rampant."

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was complacent and was serious about teaching Zhu Biao a lesson.

A more exciting picture suddenly appeared on the scroll screen.

"What?"

"Just harvested so little food? Not even a third of what I planned"

"What did you do? How can I report to His Majesty?"

At noon, when Yang Xian was lazily lying in the mansion to rest, suddenly his subordinates brought in the account books and reported the situation.

After reading them, Yang Xian became furious.

His officials explained tremblingly

"Mr. Yang, this is already the result of our efforts."

"Originally, according to your original plan"

"It will be difficult to restore Yangzhou to its original harvest situation in five years."

"But if you grit your teeth, it might work."

"But after Mr. Yang received the praise from His Majesty, he changed his mind like crazy and wanted to do it in two years."

"But how is this possible"

"What's even worse is that not long ago, in order to highlight his political achievements, Mr. Yang lied about the auspiciousness"

"Falsely reporting grain production resulted in an unprecedented bumper harvest"

"I'm worried that the superiors will investigate and then……"

When Yang Xian heard that his men actually said this, he became furious on the spot and kicked him down.

He picked up the teacup and hit him on the head. The pain immediately caused him to cover his bleeding head and fall to the ground, wailing in pain.

Yang Xian finally managed to calm down his anger.

But he showed a sinister expression and pointed at his men to warn

"If I hear you say that I made a false report again in the future, I will kill you!"

"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong."

The men got up with a look of pain on their faces and knelt down to admit their mistake.

Yang Xian said with a proud look on his face:"Keep pushing those untouchables!"

"Let them have to pay for food!"
