Self-cultivation of bad people can be done automatically

Chapter 52 Whoever complains will come forward, and whoever dares to come forward will kill me!
After arranging the relief for the victims, Zhu Youning exchanged potatoes on the second day and called Wang Shifan over.

"Old General Wang, I entrusted you with a mission."

"I would like to obey His Highness's orders."

Wang Shifan arched his hands, looking like he was listening quietly.

"Constructing water conservancy, reclaiming wilderness, and enriching the army and the people are the great affairs of the country."

Although Zhu Youning spoke quickly but articulately, he expressed his intentions: "This king wants you to recruit these [-] starving people to recuperate, select the strong and strong to reorganize the military camp, and use the garrison fields to form a village!"

When Wang Shifan heard this, he was at a loss for words, hesitant to speak.

Isn't Zhu Youning's whimsical idea?

Tuntian weaving army, to put it nicely, where is there so much grain and fodder as seeds?
Yes, Zhu Youning just ransacked Zhang He's house, but the military supplies and food obtained from the ransacking, not to mention recruiting hungry people, is already a great fortune to keep the hungry people from starving.

"My lord knows what you're thinking."

Under Zhu Youning's observation, how could he not know what Wang Shifan wanted to say?
But he did not argue with words, because it is difficult to describe something he has never seen with words alone, and it would be a waste of time to speak more.

So, Zhu Youning personally took Wang Shifan to a warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, there are potatoes that Zhu Youning exchanged before.

"The name of this thing is potatoes, and it can be used as food."

Zhu Youning took out a book, which was written by Zhu Youning himself last night.He threw the book to Wang Shifan and said: "This book records the methods of cultivating potatoes and various precautions. You can send someone to do it according to the book."

Wang Shifan took it respectfully, and then slowly opened it to read, his face gradually becoming surprised.

As time went by, Wang Shifan's emotions gradually turned from surprise to excitement.

"Your Highness, if what is said in this book is true, then these potatoes are likely to solve the famine and benefit all people! This is a great event that will shine through in the Spring and Autumn Period! Your Highness's name will definitely be praised by all people!"

It's no wonder Wang Shifan is too excited. After all, the appearance of potatoes is undoubtedly a timely help for the [-] to [-] hungry people in Qingzhou!

Not only that, but if potatoes can be grown on a large scale, the possibility of famine will be greatly reduced!
And even if there is a famine, having potatoes will greatly reduce the difficulty of solving the famine.

This is undoubtedly something that can be recorded in history!
"Don't get excited, it's too early to tell."

Zhu Youning was very calm, but he repeatedly emphasized to Wang Shifan, saying: "It's up to people to do it. I leave this matter to you. You have to do it with your heart. Only when this matter is done well can the world be completely resolved." The problem of refugees, and at that time, it would not be difficult for you Wang Shifan to return to the political arena, and it would not be impossible to revive the Wang family. But if you don’t do it well, you will only be killed.”

Zhu Youning's tone was very calm when he said this, but Wang Shifan could still feel the killing intent from it.

Wang Shifan is sure that if he really messed up the potato planting, Zhu Youning would definitely make other people's heads fall.

But Wang Shifan was not afraid at all.

What he has done all his life is a "name", and now he has the opportunity to pass it on through the ages, even if it is possible to lose his head, he will do it.

Thinking of this, Wang Shifan immediately knelt down and saluted Zhu Youning respectfully.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the old man will definitely do his best to complete this matter!"

Zhu Youning didn't respond, just said to Wang Shifan: "Get up and go to work, this matter is urgent."

Only then did Wang Shifan get up, but he did not leave. Instead, he said to Zhu Youning, "Your Highness, if you want to plant potatoes, there is a problem that still needs to be solved."

"what's up?"

"land!"

Wang Shifan said convincingly: "The government of Qingzhou has no land, and the common people rarely have land. Most of them are farmed by servants, and most of the land is in the hands of wealthy families."

Zhu Youning looked sideways and thought about it: "Tell me."

"Because of successive years of wars, the land in Pinglu has always been allocated according to the official rank."

Wang Shifan explained to Zhu Youning in short words: "The amount of land mainly depends on how high the official position is, or how many ranks have been promoted! The land of a large official will be more, and the land of a small official will be less. If the official position is transferred, the land It will also increase or decrease accordingly. Those with more promotions will take more, those with few promotions will take less, and those without promotions will not take it. If any family is dismissed from office or died in war, some land must be given up. I can't keep it either."

"The rules are roughly like this. If the prince wants to obtain land from those wealthy families, he must discuss some specific matters, such as how much land His Highness intends to acquire, and how the wealthy families should price the land. In short, The bigger the official position and the greater the power, the more land they can occupy. They don’t even have to worry about buying, taxing, and exploiting officials.”

Zhu Youning sneered suddenly, and said, "The imperial court can't control this place, so they will annex the land by themselves?"

"This is the rule of Pinglu."

Wang Shifan nodded, and said helplessly: "If you want the wealthy family to take out some land, you will naturally have to exchange it with money! For example, after our Wang family surrendered and moved to Luoyang by His Majesty's order, the land in Qingzhou can only be given to Those tyrants have exchanged some money."

"You Wang Shifan was originally a Jiedu envoy, but you can't get rid of this shackle?" Zhu Youning was suddenly surprised.

Wang Shifan didn't say anything. To be honest, he was also a beneficiary of this system.It's just that the defeat and surrender later led to nothing.

Zhu Youning glanced at Wang Shifan, suddenly remembered something, and said, "After Zhang He's downfall, wouldn't his original lands be taken by these tyrants, right?"

"Of course not. His Highness didn't say anything, so they didn't dare. But they all want to see the prince and buy some land."

"Oh? Want to buy land from this king? How courageous! Do you really think that the rules they made are the rules? This king is the governor of Pinglu, and this king is the rules of Pinglu!"

There was some anger in Zhu Youning's words, and he said categorically: "You find someone to inform them, pass on the king's will, let each family keep ten acres of land for each person, and confiscate the rest of the land!"

Wang Shifan hesitated to speak, "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid this will lose the hearts of the people."

"Why do you lose the hearts of the people? This king gave all these lands to the people to cultivate, how can you lose the hearts of the people?"

Zhu Youning said nonchalantly: "Besides, even if this king loses the so-called 'people's support', so what? Are they the only people in the world?"

Wang Shifan was still a little worried and said: "In this case, I am afraid they will..."

"I can't ask for it."

Zhu Youning sneered suddenly, he is now a person with extremely high force and military power, even if he made a wrong decision, there is still room for maneuver and remedy, so he spoke very hard.

"Whoever complains will take the lead, and whoever dares to take the lead will kill him! Is this king afraid of fighting? This Pinglu needs to reshuffle the cards!"

Wang Shifan was speechless immediately.

He suddenly had a feeling that anyone related to Zhu Wen seemed to have no good relationship!
