People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 339 Guangxi’s fertile land reclamation plan has achieved initial success! !

Chief Envoy of Guangdong.

Xia Yuanji has been back for a few days.

On his way back, he did not pass through Jiangxi, but took a detour all the way south from Hunan.

He did this mainly to see if King Xiang and the others were sincere in helping the court to reclaim the land in Lingnan.

Speaking of which, after moving south from Hunan, he really discovered that the once vast forests had now been reduced a lot, and a large number of paddy fields had appeared on top of the original woods.

The local people were surprised to find that the people who reclaimed the land were not locals, but criminals transferred from outside.

They are even expecting that after these criminals complete the land reclamation, they can pick up some land for free.

For people with this kind of mentality, the local government's response is to never give them any money.

Although criminals were disgusting before, once these criminals seriously reformed and were recognized and their consent was obtained, those who were willing to stay would be allocated land.

You see, my hands have been covered with blood blisters in just a few days. You can imagine that those people who have been farming all year round still have blood blisters all over their bodies. "

Seeing Xia Yuanji looking at him like this, King Xiang scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed: "Mr. The son is so pampered that he has no idea that the common people are working so hard in the fields.

I saw thousands of people working hard on the flat land below, covering an area of ​​more than 60 acres, to turn over the land where tree roots had just been removed.

Xiang King Zhu Bai pointed to the land below, wearing short clothes with trousers still stained with mud, and said to Xia Yuanji: "Master Xia, what you see now is the land we have just reclaimed. This is just the beginning but not the end. It is only half a year." We have reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Guangxi.

This place used to be a forest, and the local natives were unwilling to waste time cultivating the land. They believed that as long as wild fruits grew in the forest, they could support themselves, so they had no motivation at all.

How long did it take for Chen Han to be able to train these pampered princes to this extent?

When Xia Yuanji came to a certain place in Guangxi, he saw a prosperous scene.

Xia Yuanji looked at the hands that had never been touched by spring water. Not only were they covered with blood blisters, but calluses had grown in several places, he was very moved.

It's really awesome.

Under the stimulation of such policies, the enthusiasm of criminals was finally mobilized.

A large number of northerners took the initiative to join the reclamation team from the north to the south.

Chen Han probably didn't expect that because of his reclamation plan, he would actually complete an unprecedented large-scale population migration.

Perhaps these criminals also know that they have already stinked the streets in their hometowns. Instead of having their backs pointed at and gossiped about, they might as well start well in this place where they can be given land.

As the teacher said, although the miasma is strong in this land, the fertility of the land is amazing. Year-round fallen leaves have fallen on the ground and rotted, which has accumulated the fertility of the land very pleasantly.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that a pampered prince would know so much.

While he was speaking, he showed Xia Yuanji his hands that had been blistered by the hoe.

Xia Yuanji was surprised when he heard what King Xiang said.

Even the people who have been farming all year round say that with simple maintenance, this place will become a good place to grow food. "

To put it bluntly, even if the emperor himself comes, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve this level.

"My lord, do you have any resentment in your heart?" Xia Yuanji asked.

King Xiang looked at him and shook his head: "You officials only see us as princes, doing nothing but getting a salary that is dozens of times higher than yours. You have resentment. But do we, the princes, Do you want to be raised like a pig for the rest of your life?

If a person does not yearn for higher achievements, he is no different from an animal.

Those of us who are princes also think that if we have the opportunity to do something great, we do not seek praise from the people, but seek their recognition.

Now that Mr. Xi has given us such a good opportunity, if we still complain at all, then we are not human beings. "

Hearing what King Xiang said, Xia Yuanji felt very happy.

Then Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, Zhi Nian has been the executioner in recent times and chopped off the heads of dozens of prefects all over the world."

King Xiang was stunned for a moment when he heard what Xia Yuanji said, "Is there such a thing?"

The reason why he was so surprised was because Chen Han had never taken the initiative to kill an official.

Isn’t it my father’s exclusive right to kill officials all over the world?

His own father shows no mercy at all, that's how powerful he is.

"What's going on?" King Xiang has been in the virgin forests of Guangxi during this period, reclaiming land with a group of civilians, and he really doesn't know what is happening in the outside world.

Xia Yuanji told the general story of what happened.

King Xiang was extremely angry when he heard that the prefects dared to use the examination method to take advantage of the loopholes.

"No wonder these people can make such a good-tempered gentleman so angry that he has to use a butcher knife to kill these people.

But what is the effect? "

Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "The effect is still very good. At least after killing this group of people, if a boss uses the entrance examination method to make things difficult for his subordinates in the future, he can immediately seek help from the Tax Inspection Department.

The Tax Inspection Department can now be tasked with supervising the implementation of new laws such as the Kao Cheng Law, and can conduct investigations immediately after receiving reports from local officials.

I believe that as the number of people in the tax inspection department increases, officials all over the world will be under surveillance.

Then no one will dare to mess around. "

King Xiang sighed with emotion: "Mr.

The Tax Inspection Department could only be better than Jin Yiwei, but it did not arouse the resentment of the people in the world. Instead, it was welcomed by the people of the world.

With the supervision of the Tax Inspection Department, officials all over the world can be more self-disciplined. "

After the two of them finished chatting, Xia Yuanji continued on his way. When he returned to Guangdong and had just sat down, his subordinates ran in.

"Master Fantai, a ship from the capital carrying talented people from the Ming Dynasty Institute of Technology has arrived at our dock. Do you want to see it?"

Xia Yuanji stood up immediately after hearing the news: "Of course, I will personally go and send them to Nanyang."

Xia Yuanji knew as soon as he heard that he was a student who set out from the capital and was going to Nanyang to build a naval base.

These students were his and Chen Han's treasures. They slowly became talented after more than two years and nearly three years. Now that they finally have a place to be used, how could he not give them to them...
