I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 119 Then you go to die

More than 2000 million mu of "Huangtian" was quickly divided up.

It has to be said that some civil servants, wealthy aristocratic families and businessmen in Ming Dynasty are really too rich.

According to the ratio of eleven taxes, Wei Zhongxian rented two shi of grain for one mu of imperial land a year, which was about 360 catties. He collected four shi of grain for ten years' rent.

More than 2000 million mu of imperial land is a full [-] million stones of grain!

Some imperial lands are too large, spanning seven or eight prefectures, and a wealthy family can't swallow them, so they will unite a large group of "relatives and friends" to jointly swallow them.

Everyone understands that the idiot emperor wants to provide disaster relief and has no food in hand, so he has to exchange "imperial land" for food as an emergency.

If the famine passes, even if you take food, you won't be able to exchange land.

You know, the land occupied by the royal family members is the most fertile farmland in the Ming Dynasty...

One land sale can be worth the treasury revenue of the Ming Dynasty for several years in the past.

Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, is in a good mood.

With these grains, the large-scale famine in the second year of Chongzhen should be able to last for a while, right?

On the painting boat in the Xiyuan area, Zhu Youjian lay reclined on the Luohan bed, enjoying the "one-stop service" of rubbing, pressing, kneading, pinching, pushing, etc. by the red lady, humming comfortably.

"In the past two days, the amount of grain Wei Zhongxian sells from the imperial land has been determined, so let Cao Gong watch over it to make sure that no officials or wealthy families intervene.

Otherwise, with the character of those people, it would be easy to pluck a goose's hair.

If it doesn't work out, nearly [-] million shi of grain can reach the hands of the victims, and it is estimated that there will be no more than [-]-[-]% left. "

The red lady nodded slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Cao has already been watched closely."

"By the way, tell Cao Gong that if you meet some officials and wealthy families, you might as well use quack tricks to settle it. Killing one counts as one!"

"I don't want to see the faces of those people!"

These two sentences were spoken in a flat, non-human way, but they were chilling. In the originally warm and pleasant cabin, the air seemed to be much colder.

The red lady stared at Zhu Youjian's handsome face, couldn't help but kissed her, and said softly, "My concubine...for those victims, thank you son!"

Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, and said with a chuckle, "Why don't you thank me a few more times?"

"Thinking beautiful!"

The red lady giggled for a while, then suddenly sighed, and said: "Mr. Cao sent a message that Liaodong has lost two games in a row, so it's temporarily calmed down.

However, the Southwest and Northwest are making noise again..."

"It doesn't matter, it's all small fights, it won't hurt the bones, let them make a fuss first," Zhu Youjian rubbed his brows, and smiled bitterly: "When I solve the food problem, I will settle accounts with those local emperors.

Let's find a way to keep the basic market first.

Keeping the basics, I only need one hand to beat all those chieftain emperors to the ground, believe it or not? "

The red lady smiled sweetly, looked into the idiot emperor's eyes, a few small flames sprang out, and murmured: "Trust!"

Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "Come on, come on, the postures of those bumpkins in Kuai's hands are tasteless, and I will teach you a few tricks of Douyin!"

The two laughed together and became one.

day and night.

……

In the spring of the second year of Chongzhen, everyone was holding back their energy, recruiting troops, raising food and grass, and preparing to go to the northwest to encircle and suppress the "thief army" in Yan'an, Pingliang, and Qingyang.

But with more than 2000 million mu of imperial land being thrown away by the idiot emperor like a piece of meat and bones, the minds of the wealthy and aristocratic families all over the place changed instantly.

fight?Siege bandits?
Are you kidding me?
Seeing that it's coming to Guyu, our fields are still barren, whoever goes to war is stupid!

Hurry up and bring back all our soldiers to help us cultivate the land.

Not enough people?It's a trivial matter, let the nearby refugees come over, let's also learn from the emperor's practice, and let the refugees come to cultivate the land with work in lieu of relief!

Those hungry half-dead people, as long as they have a mouthful of food, they can be used as cattle or horses for you, and they can't be driven away.

The sweet potato and corn seeds distributed by the court for free were sown just before and after Grain Rain.

I have to say that the idiot emperor is too prodigal!

As a result, in just seven or eight days, more than 2000 million mu of imperial land, as well as some originally barren cultivated land, were quickly plowed and leveled, and then planted with autumn crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and soybeans.

Sweet potatoes are grown in mountainous areas, and corn is grown in ditches and irrigated lands.

The great eunuch Wei Zhongxian was dumbfounded.

Does this work too?
Just talking about it, not only raised nearly [-] million shi of grain, but also made those wealthy families willingly rush to grow sweet potatoes and corn.

More importantly, it solved the serious problem of millions of refugees at once!

"Long live, you are not human..."

'Long Live God often said that it is really reasonable to understand and understand human nature! '

Wei Zhongxian has been so busy recently that he finally sold out the Huangtian, so he came to Xiyuan to 'enjoy life' when he had some free time this day.

"Damn ghost, why didn't you let me know when you sold Huangtian recently, what a good opportunity I missed!" Keshi Baba squeezed Wei Zhongxian's legs and feet, and said with a coquettish smile:

"Could it be that you are afraid of accidents again?"

Wei Zhongxian drooped his eyelids, and hummed wearily: "Let's try to get involved as little as possible in the matter of the Lord Long Live."

"By the way, what's going on with our son?" The eunuch asked suddenly, as if thinking of something.

"Thank you for remembering our son!" Keshi Baba groaned coquettishly, and made a strong hand, which made the eunuch groan, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead immediately.

"You bitch, you're going to die!"

Wei Zhongxian stretched out his hand on the bulging part of Hakka's Baba, squeezed it hard a few times, and said with a smile: "Our son's business has been transferred, and it has nothing to do with the land, so there is no risk, so you can rest assured."

Baba Keshi said with a bitter face: "Without the land, our business has shrunk by [-] to [-] percent..."

"A reduction of [-] to [-] percent is only a matter of a few million silver coins," Wei Zhongxian said with a sigh, "It's better than losing your life."

Keshibaba fell silent.

When the first emperor was alive, she didn't know how to cherish, so she ran to the Qianqing Palace every three days to play, and forced Gan'er to death.

Thinking about it now, my stomach is full of regret.

The current Emperor Chongzhen, say that he is a prodigal son, can always solve some major problems after a lot of messing around.

You can say that he is an idiot, what kind of civil official Qingliu, governor of the nine borders, as long as he is willing, he can kill a large number of people with the flick of a finger...

"Zhongxian, you said...Long Live God is going to be on the land..." Baba Hakka just opened his mouth when Wei Zhongxian slapped him across the face.

"You don't want to die?"

Wei Zhongxian got up abruptly, brushed away the bewildered Hakka Baba, and walked outside without stopping.

While walking, he also warned: "If you loosen your mouth a bit, don't blame our family for stuffing you with a wooden peg!"

Keshi Baba was stunned.

This is the first time that Wei Zhongxian played rough in front of her.

Also, hit her for the first time!
"Wei Zhongxian, you're fine. Now that your wings are hardened, don't you start to dislike me for being old?"

"Say, do you have any friends recently?"

"If you don't understand what you said today, I'll... I'll show you to death!"

Wei Zhongxian stopped and took a few breaths of silence.

Then, he turned around slowly, stared at Keshi Baba coldly, and said indifferently: "Then you just go and die."
