Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 367 Adding 260 million hectares of land, Zhu Youxiao's big shock!
The decree of abolishing these hereditary commanders, thousands of households, and hundreds of households followed the imperial court's investigation of the land of the guards.

This group of commanders, thousands of households, and hundreds of households in the past 200 years, cannot be said to be all trash, at least except Qi Jiguang and Yu Daqiu, such outstanding generals. However, in the past 200 years, this proportion is too low.

Abolish them all, and from now on, you will be exactly the same as ordinary Ming people.

If you want to continue to move forward, you must first join Datong College. After strict selection, you are eligible to enter the army and enjoy military treatment.

Yes, soldiers are the most glorious!

Zhang Haogu put forward this slogan and did the same.

However, in this way, these hereditary commanders, thousands of households, and hundreds of households, inevitably wanted to make a little noise, so that the court would know how powerful they were.

Then, they were directly suppressed.

With the capital, Shandong, and Nanjing as examples, for ordinary military households, I just want to divide the land in a safe and secure manner. It is best for you to divide the land honestly. As for you, you want to drag us into chaos.

I'm sorry, the things you gave are really too little, how can it compare to the things given by the imperial court?
Soon, they discovered that they had no ability to struggle at all, and in the end, they could only honestly hand over the land in their hands, which also recognized that they no longer had the status of hereditary privileges.

However, even so, the imperial court still did not drive them all to extinction, and still allocated land to them so that they could participate in the labor.

There are also many farms in the south. Although they are relatively rudimentary and not as mature as in the north, let the land grow food first and fill their stomachs first.

In addition, Zhang Haogu also arranged for a group of water conservancy experts to go to the south to build river embankments, and the river embankments must not be washed away by floods.

The last few years of Daming were simply a combination of natural disasters and man-made disasters, nightmares of nightmares.

"Drought again!"

Looking at Sun Chuanting's report in his hand, Zhang Haogu couldn't help frowning.

Not surprisingly this year, Shaanxi has ushered in another severe drought. It is now April. From the beginning of the sixth year of the apocalypse until now, there have been three rains in Shaanxi. Visible another severe drought.

Zhang Haogu urgently arranged for a large batch of sweet potato seeds to be planted in Shaanxi.

At the very least, don't starve to death.

However, even so, there are sporadic riots in Shaanxi. The situation in Shaanxi is not very good now. Sun Chuanting can suppress once or twice, three or four times, or five times.

However, when there were more and more uprisings by the peasant army, sooner or later, Sun Chuanting would not be able to suppress them.

Originally, Zhang Haogu still planned to go to Shaanxi as soon as possible. This was the British Duke’s sudden attack on the three major battalions, and it also involved Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong’s joint rebellion. more up.

Zhang Haogu couldn't spare his hands at all, Shandong and Beijing Normal University, these two places must not be messed up, this is his basic board, as long as this basic board is still there, he can continue to give blood to the new army.

At the same time, there can be no chaos here in Nanjing. The imperial court must ensure its own deterrence. Even though the food in Shandong and the capital has improved a lot, and even a large-scale outbreak has occurred, Jiangnan has always been an important source of income for the imperial court. land.

In addition, Zhang Haogu had to carry out a simple land survey.

At the very least, it is necessary to know how much land the imperial court can collect taxes at present, and how much land is still in the hands of these gentry.

For a while, Zhang Haogu was really inseparable, but even so, Zhang Haogu arranged for Shi Kefa to go to Shaanxi to start the preliminary work and let Shi Kefa solve some land annexation issues.

Until April [-]th.

Simple land surveying work is considered complete.

The capital, Shandong, and Jiangnan, as well as some of the land released by the guards.

A total of 560 million hectares!
Looking at the number, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said slowly, "So many lands?"

Before, Zhu Youxiao probably had a figure to calculate, which should be less than 400 million hectares.

However, this breath actually increased by 260 million hectares?
"One part belongs to the princes, and the other part belongs to the nobles, the hereditary commanders, Qianhu, Baihu and the others embezzled the land of the guard!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the results of this land measurement are not the end, but just the beginning. Of the 260 million hectares of land, 100 million hectares are in the capital and Shandong. This was dug out by Zhu Chunchen. The situation is even more complicated, without the support of the New Deal, it will still take a lot of effort to investigate!"

"If everything is checked out, it should be between 650 million and 700 million hectares!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu paused, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor, at least the income that this land can bring is at least slightly comparable to that of Emperor Chengzuwen!"

But Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought. He glanced at Zhang Haogu and said, "Master, tell me, how much land have these gentry from Jiangnan, including Shaanxi and Shanxi, embezzled?"

"When the Qing Dynasty checked, it was 100 million hectares. However, this was also a rough check. The real situation should be around 300 million hectares!"

Zhang Haogu murmured in his heart for a while, and then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's hard for me to say, I always have to look at it, and I think that Daming's taxation should not be simply collected from the land, or More taxes need to be raised!"

"During the 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it is reasonable to say that the more land reclaimed, the better, but now it is getting less and less. I am in distress every day!"

Zhu Youxiao spoke harshly, and then smiled again: "Haha, but this is also good, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, you don't have to be as embarrassed as I am!"

"Your Majesty, we still need to establish a system, otherwise such a situation will still appear in the future!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

"Zhen, I will implement the New Deal!" Zhu Youxiao laughed, and said slowly: "Whoever opposes the New Deal, I will kill him!"

Zhu Youxiao is not polite at all. Now that he has tasted the sweetness of the New Deal, he naturally wants to carry it through to the end.
