Chapter 440 Can Really Check the Land in the Sky!
Old Zhu had an impression of Zhang Zongjun, knowing that he was very close to Mrs. Lu and advised Mrs. Lu.

Otherwise, with Lu's ability, he would not be able to do so many things at all.

But he never touched Zhang Zongjun. Firstly, he was very loyal to Prince Zhu Biao, and secondly, he was a talented person, not comparable to an official who was born in the imperial examination.

Hearing that he had advised Zhu Yunxi just now, Lao Zhu was even more grateful for his decision.

This person is worthy of being a partial talent, and the method he can think of is indeed quite insidious.

It's just that there is still a need to tap, so that this person will not teach Dasun badly, and use these plots and tricks to deal with his uncles.

Hearing Lao Zhu's words, Zhang Zongjun was so frightened that he kowtowed like garlic.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"My minister thinks that your Majesty is an upright gentleman, who follows the way of a sage and acts aboveboard. He will not like the villainous tricks of a villain. Therefore, I misunderstood Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me..."

Old Zhu wanted to hit Zhang Zongjun, but suddenly he laughed out loud when he heard his flattering compliment.

"Pick up the rice bowl!"

"As we know in the drama, Li Fangyuan, the son of Li Chenggui, is unrivaled among all the princes in terms of literary and martial arts, and his heart is also very tough and ruthless."

"If you say so, isn't Li Fangyuan the North Korean version of Li Shimin?"

"This... what is this?"

Lao Zhu's words startled Zhang Zongjun again, and he didn't know what to say for a while.Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi gave Lao Zhu a displeased look, even though he knew that Lao Zhu was trying to help him subdue this person, he couldn't help feeling that Lao Zhu was going too far.

On the day when Zhu Yunxi announced the inventory of farmland across the country, thousands of letters flew out of the capital, passing on to every provincial capital and county in Daming.

However, when facing the grandson who was eating at the side, Lao Zhu put on another face.

"The grandson of the emperor is young and vigorous, I don't know how deep the water is!"

"When did we lie on the wall, we eavesdropped openly!"

"My family has less than [-] mu of land, all of which are rented out to people from the same village to help with planting..."

"Look, something is flying in the sky!"

"it is good!"

"We don't know how it can be cleaned up. We only know that we have to write a letter to the family and ask them to cooperate with the government. Hehehe..."

After the Jinhua county magistrate received the official official document from the court, he just sneered and threw the letter on the desk.

"Good guy, in Jinhua County alone, the hidden properties are more than twice as large as the Yulin Atlas. If we check all the land in the whole country, it won't be doubled?"

Because in this era, the only way to check the number of acres of land is to use the tactics of crowds, and manually measure one acre by one acre.

"There is another field in the south, planted with mulberry trees, the size is several hundred acres, and it is not listed in the fish scale book!"

"No, don't talk nonsense..."

Zhu Yunxie and Zhang Zongjun were stunned by Lao Zhu's words. They also had a lot of eyeliners in North Korea, and they even inquired a lot about the captured North Korean courtiers, but they never knew that there was such a fierce man in North Korea. .

"It's useless even if we send someone down to investigate. My family's land is hidden in the valley, unless the officers and soldiers of the imperial court can fly..."

"We have been following Li Fangyuan for more than ten years. Before the father and son started an incident, we knew that this person was a character!"

He finally saw the scene he least expected to see, Grandpa Huang was old after all...

When Lao Zhu said this, he patted his butt and got up.

Zhang Zongjun hurriedly said he didn't dare, but was scolded by Lao Zhu.

More officials sneered silently, and decided to be a good grandson of the Pope.

Old Zhu smiled mysteriously when he heard the words.

"Found!"

Chen Zongli, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, originally hoped that the court would have a clear account, but he also knew how difficult it would be to do so, especially when the local government and the local gentry colluded with each other. sky.

"Hasty annexation will inevitably lead to strong resistance from the North Korean military and civilians, and the prestige of Ming Dynasty will also be greatly reduced."

"Let all the common people know that the imperial court is now going to check the land of the whole country. If there are people who hide their land property, they will automatically report to the county government and transfer the ownership. In the future, they only need to pay taxes according to the new law."

Lao Zhu broke away the hands encircled by his eldest grandson, and walked out with his chest out on purpose, but no matter how hard he tried, his figure would inevitably become hunched, and he seemed to be a little staggering...

As soon as Chen Zongli's words fell, everyone in the court nodded their heads.

Lao Zhu dropped these words, smiled at Dasun, then turned and left with a dejected expression on his face.

"The gentry in the countryside, it's too late to hide the land, how can they take the initiative to tell?"

Some fell into the hands of the local county magistrate, some fell into the hands of the patriarch of the local big clan, and some fell into the hands of the chief envoy.

"We came here today because we have another matter to talk about. We have removed the biggest obstacle for you to clear the country's land. You can do it with confidence and boldness!"

"Back then, His Majesty the Emperor only used hundreds of thousands of troops to check the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the fields were full of soldiers, so he cleared the land in the south of the Yangtze River."

The two were talking about meeting when they suddenly heard a commotion from the people around them.

"I can't see clearly other places for the time being, we have to wait until we fly over!"

The first thing that Zhu Yunxi presided over the government was to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the number of acres of land in the country.

"Okay, you two go get busy with these things, and tell us anytime you are short of people or things."

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi after hearing the words, then raised his chin.

"As expected of being from the Jianghu, this coaxing ability is not bad!"

"Not to mention, what Li Fangyuan admires the most is Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and he has many imitations in his style of conduct."

"Post up notices as normal, ordering all the chiefs of the village, township, and grain to come to the county to study..."

Not to mention whether there are so many people who know how to do arithmetic in the imperial court, even if there are so many people, how to measure the land and obtain first-hand data is a massive project.

"The land in the south of the Yangtze River was thoroughly investigated in the early years, and these should be the land for subsequent reclamation."

"The biggest obstacle?"

"In addition, the land between the hidden and the mountains, unless there are people from the same town to lead the way, otherwise the outsiders don't even know where the land is, so how can they measure it?"

Just as Zhu Yunxi was about to refuse, Qin Deshun agreed, and then ran out in a jerk.

"Oh, so many?"

"By the way, the two of you were discussing North Korea just now, and we have a few thoughts to add."

"okay!"

"Your grandson gave you this bowl of rice, so you should serve this bowl of rice well!"

"Grandfather, just now Zhang Zongjun said that he can put Li Chenggui back, let him fight with his son Li Fangyuan and others, and then we will reap the benefits of fishing!"

Zhang Zongjun got up obediently from the ground, only feeling his back was soaked in sweat.Just as he was about to find a corner to stand, Lao Zhu stopped him suddenly.

Zhu Yunxi immediately became interested when he heard this.

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he announced the disbandment of the court, which caused everyone to be surprised.

Old Zhu nodded heavily upon hearing this.

As for those bold Li Zheng, they didn't take the imperial court's announcement to heart at all.

"promise!"

"By the way, Grandpa Huang, how do you know this person?"

Under the urging of the Jinhua county magistrate, all the township chiefs and even the food chiefs in Jinhua County came to the county government office to listen to the announcement.

"The emperor's grandson's thinking is too simple, thinking that just relying on a piece of paper can force the people to hand over their hidden properties?"

"Check the fields?"

"Good regards, my lord!"

The hot air balloon flew in the sky for a while, and Huang Wenjing suddenly shouted out in surprise.

"We have just abolished his status as the King of Qin and demoted him to a commoner..."

"So, when dealing with this person, the two of you must consider carefully, and you must not take it lightly!"

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to court, and threw the entire court to Zhu Yunxi.

"Yes Yes!"

After a group of officials crossed the Wulong Bridge, away from the surveillance of the guards and soldiers, they began to complain wildly one by one.

"Although the emperor's grandson's decree is too child's play, as ministers, we still have to do our best to cooperate..."

"Is that so..."

"Not much, maybe seventy or eighty acres..."

Therefore, before the official arrival of the imperial documents, the households in all prefectures and counties began to get busy, and the transactions, pawns, transfers and other procedures of various fields were carried out rapidly.

"sure!"

"If you tell me to eat, you can eat it. How can there be so much nonsense!"

Facing everyone's doubts, Zhu Yunxi smiled coldly.

"This is where we want to add!"

Zhang Zongjun hastily picked up the rice bowl from the ground again, ran to the side and pulled it up with a big mouth.

"The Ministry of Zhongshu formulated the imperial decree according to what Gu just said, and then spread it to all the chief envoys, prefectures, counties and other yamen of the Ming Dynasty, and the other six officials cooperated..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed and agreed.

"How much do you hide?"

"This is very true. It is our bounden duty to cooperate with the emperor's grandson in investigating the land, and the old man has to go back and write letters to his family..."

"Li Shimin?"

"We are waiting for your good news!"

Old Zhu shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, and put on a scheming look.

"Da Sun, your food is too simple."

Lu Qingshu exclaimed as he wrote and drew on the paper.

"What Chen Shangshu said is reasonable. How could the grandson of the emperor make people violate human nature and take the initiative to tell him where his hiding land is?"

"We just don't like him, let's beat him for you."

"Did you be our emperor all these years for nothing?"

Old Zhu Shiran sat down, seeing that Zhang Zongjun had almost eaten, he did not forget to ask someone to bring him tea and water to prevent him from choking.

"Xiao Zhang, change your direction and fly directly to the south..."

"what?"

Looking at the back of the emperor's grandfather leaving, Zhu Yunxi only felt his nose sore and tears rolled in his eyes.

"We solved the big troubles in our royal family for you, and the troubles in the court will depend on your ability!"

"Grandfather, are you old and leaning against the wall?"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your forgiveness, the villain will assist the emperor's grandson wholeheartedly, without any selfishness..."

Zhu Yunxi said with some doubts.

"My lord, what shall we do?"

"Come here, order the imperial dining room to prepare ten more dishes for our grandson!"

"Grandfather, thank you for your trust, I will definitely do this well!"

The timid Li Zheng thought of the tens of acres of wasteland he had reclaimed by the river, his heart pounded, and he wondered whether he should report to the government in advance.

"We have also thought about it over and over again these days. The North Korea issue has indeed been handled too roughly."

This night seemed ordinary, but for the entire Daming, it was the last calm before the storm.

"Grandfather, please rest assured!"

Old Zhu was stunned when he heard the words.

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to hug Lao Zhu.

Above the sky, Huang Wenjing and Lu Qingshu, students of the Hope Academy sitting in a hot air balloon, one is looking down with a telescope, and the other is responsible for writing and drawing on paper.

Old Zhu laughed when he heard the words.

"We know!"

"No...I don't know..."

"Grandfather, it's almost over. I know who Zhang Zongjun is and how to use him!"

After all, the government also investigated two years ago, but it was just a lonely investigation.

Old Zhu glared at Ni Sun.

"There is a field in the southeast col of Jinhua County, which is about a thousand acres in size, and it is not in the original fish scale atlas."

"But this person is more ruthless, and it may not be possible for Li Chenggui to enjoy his old age in peace. If Li Chenggui dares to appoint someone else as the crown prince, Li Fangyuan will definitely rebel, even if he kills all his brothers!"

"Your Highness, measuring the land is a good thing, but where can Daming find so many talents?"

"Therefore, it is best to mess up the country first, and let it be more chaotic, the better. When the chaos reaches a certain level, Da Ming will appear as the teacher of the king, and the world will be decided in one fell swoop!"

"Grandfather, the biggest obstacle you mentioned is my second uncle, right?"

"We are the lord of Ming Dynasty. Although we don't care about the surrounding small countries, we still have to send people to monitor their actions to prevent them from causing chaos, right?"

When Lao Zhu said this, he sighed.

"Get up!"

"Should not know twice..."

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to put down his job, and then said to Zhang Zongjun who was beside him.

"The emperor's grandson is not prepared at all, so he wants to check the land of the whole country. Maybe it will have to be the same as the one two years ago, and it will be nothing in the end..."

Therefore, he was the first to stand up and question.

"Hey, you're still afraid that I'll sell you, my house has a lot of hidden places..."

"If we really put Li Chenggui back, we think he might not be able to fight against his son Li Fangyuan, and he might be killed by his son!"

"Don't eat it for now, wait a while for the food to be delivered and eat with Gu!"

After hearing the announcement read out by the yamen officials, all the village chiefs and township chiefs started chattering.

General Xungui was also in a complicated mood, desperately hiding his property, not wanting to be traced out.

Zhu Yunxi nodded upon hearing this.

"Tell me, will the imperial court send officers and soldiers to investigate this time?"

"If you don't report it, and the government finds out, the government will treat it as an unclaimed wasteland!"

"Zhao Lizheng, your house seems to have hidden a lot of land, right?"

"Remember, is there another place?"

In short, before the official official documents of the imperial court were issued, all prefectural and county officials and squires in Daming knew that the emperor's grandson was going to check the land of the whole country, and knew that this was the old emperor's test of the emperor's grandson.

"Anyone who dares to obstruct at that time will be punished as treason!"

Although the officials in the court did not dare to object openly, none of them was willing to cooperate secretly.

When the two heard this, they hurriedly looked towards the sky, only to see a huge spherical object in the sky, flying slowly above their heads.

Tian Lizheng laughed when he heard the words.

Old Zhu smiled sadly when he heard the words.

Hearing this, Zhang Zongjun quickly kowtowed to thank him.

"Gu never thought they could cooperate!"

"Ugh!"

"Grandfather, are you telling the truth?"

"However, in the future, don't use such evil thoughts on our eldest grandson. We will send people to watch you. If you dare to be a courtier, someone will definitely behead your dog's head with an imperial decree!"

After the crowd dispersed, they gathered in twos and threes to discuss.

"The north has never been thoroughly investigated, and its hidden properties may be very amazing!"

"However, this is also thanks to the hot ball created by the emperor's grandson. Without the help of this hot ball, we would not be able to complete the investigation of Daming's land in ten years!"

"Yes!"

"Who would have thought that the grandson of the emperor would actually be able to go to the sky and check the land in the sky!"
