Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 707 Farmland Issue
  Zhu Xuan went back to resume his life.

Lao Zhu didn't say anything. After getting the result, he just nodded.

"Grandpa Huang, are you angry?"

Zhu Xuan asked cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "We are not angry yet. It's just that a certain rebellious grandson is very treasonous and robbed our execution ground. I am thinking about what kind of punishment we should give you."

Zhu Xuan lowered his head and said, "Even if the emperor punishes you, it doesn't matter to your grandson."

How could Zhu Yuanzhang be willing to punish his little good grandson? He said softly: "Then I will punish you and help us deal with all the memorials today. By the way, where are Yuan Jun and the others?"

Zhu Xuan said: "Still waiting for my grandson halfway."

Zhu Yuanzhang warned: "Don't let them wait too long. We will go back tomorrow. Do you understand?"

Zhu Xuan saw that Grandpa Huang was really not angry, but he was a little unhappy but he was sure. He smiled and said: "My grandson knows, I will go back tomorrow morning."

"Go ahead and help us read the memorial."

Zhu Yuanzhang's mood improved a lot.

Other things were temporarily put aside by him.

Zhu Xuan returned to the East Palace. As soon as he sent Xie Jin and others, the eunuchs from the cabinet sent a large number of memorials.

"When will this happen?"

Seeing these memorials, Zhu Xuan felt a headache, a little bit dumbfounded, and helpless.

But I have no choice but to bite the bullet and watch.

I have to do what I promised Grandpa Huang.

"When I go to worship my ancestors tomorrow and leave Yingtian, I can relax a bit."

Zhu Xuan was like this, comforting himself.

next morning.

Zhu Xuan left early in the morning.

Last night, I stayed up late to finish processing those memorials. I had a formal experience of how hard it was for Grandpa Huang to be an emperor every day, so I fell asleep as soon as I got on the carriage in the morning.

"Slow down, slow down."

Hou Xian noticed Zhu Xuan's condition and quickly reminded him: "Your Highness is very tired."

Jin Yiwei, who was driving the carriage, slowed down and did not dare to rush too fast.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has left the palace."

Yunqi came back and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "My good grandson has grown up and has his own ideas. Alas! Send me all the memorials about my good grandson's treatment!"

"Yes!"

Yunqi went to make arrangements.

-

After leaving the palace, Zhu Xuan walked for a long time and finally met his young wives.

"Your Highness!"

Mu Yuanjun and the others said happily.

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

After leaving the palace, Zhu Xuan was able to relax and feel more comfortable without having to read the memorial for the time being.

Xu Miaojin said: "It's not a long wait. We are here just like playing."

Zhu Xuan said: "Let's continue to Fengyang and set off now."

Their tents were quickly put away.

The team set off again to Fengyang. They were not in a hurry. Zhu Yuanzhang did not give a specific time, but just asked them to go to worship their ancestors and then come back.

Therefore, in terms of time, Zhu Xuan is not in a hurry at all.

They could walk slowly on the road and enjoy the scenery along the way. After they walked out of Yingtian Mansion, they first arrived at Chuzhou. After passing Chuzhou, they reached Fengyang Mansion.

Entering Fengyang Mansion, there is still a certain distance from Fengyang.

Zhu Xuan and the others first arrived near Dingyuan, more than 20 miles away from Dingyuan, and stopped temporarily to rest.

In addition to going back to worship his ancestors, Zhu Xuan also had another idea when traveling, and that was to inspect the people's sentiments in other places besides Yingtian Mansion. During his break, he also went to the fields to take a look.

At this time, the farmers were still busy farming.     A large field appeared in front of us.

Zhu Xuan looked around and felt that it was quite intuitive.

"His Majesty proposed to spread crops into acres and brought high-yielding crops and fertilizers. Now the people live and work in peace and contentment and no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat."

Hou Xian flattered him just right and said: "Your Highness is kind and virtuous!"

Zhu Xuan said: "You are here again, go look around!"

He didn't dare to admit any kindness.

Zhu Xuan let his little wives rest where they were, and he took dozens of royal guards with him to walk around the world.

The sun was a little bright now, so Hou Xian took the initiative to hold an umbrella, but Zhu Xuan refused.

Being exposed to the sun won't cause any problems.

Walking along the field ridges, they soon came to a larger and more fertile field.

"Do it quickly!"

At this time, Zhu Xuan saw an unharmonious scene.

I saw a tall man picking up a whip and beating the farmers who were working.

Those farmers looked like sharecroppers.

They were working in the fields with their waists bent and not daring to raise their heads. They looked emaciated and their faces were yellow from hunger, as if they hadn't had a full meal in a long time.

That piece of fertile farmland seemed to be the property of a wealthy family.

Zhu Xuan's face suddenly darkened.

With the implementation of the apportionment of land into acres, the land annexation situation in Ming Dynasty gradually improved, because the more fields under the ownership, the more taxes need to be paid.

Under normal circumstances, it is rare for someone to own a large piece of fertile land and hire tenants.

But what he saw in front of him somewhat subverted Zhu Xuan's understanding of sharing a family's life.

These lands seem to belong to a certain landowner.

Those who farmed the land were like sharecroppers or serfs.

There is one kind, which is very incompatible with the current national conditions, such as the farming residents controlled by aristocratic families during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"You just said that I am benevolent, but I don't think I am very benevolent."

Zhu Xuan looked forward and said calmly: "This field seems to be controlled by some powerful people, which is interesting."

Hou Xian was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

The Jin Yiwei beside him was ready to take action at this time, thinking that he could handle a major case again.

What they like most is handling these big cases.

Not to mention the merit, I can still get a lot of benefits from it.

"Bring them here."

Zhu Xuan said calmly.

Zhu Xuan couldn't bear it that such a thing happened under his own eyes and within Fengyang Mansion.

After receiving the order, Jin Yiwei immediately went to find the man who picked up the whip and whipped the farmers.

"Who are you?"

The man holding the whip asked impatiently when he saw someone bothering him.

The Jinyiwei didn't say anything, and showed his saber. Two other people took out their rifles and pointed them at each other. Are you coming? If you don't come, I will take action.

The man suddenly panicked and followed Jin Yiwei back.

When he arrived at the ridge of the field, he saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy waiting for him. His mind was racing, thinking about the boy's identity.

"Who are you? Which family's property is this field?"

Zhu Xuan asked first.

The man asked back: "Why do you ask so many questions? You don't care who I am. If nothing happens, I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you!"

In fact, he was still feeling weak in his heart.

He had heard of people who could own rifles, and they should be in the military. He didn't dare to offend the young man in front of him, and he didn't dare to say this rhetorical question too harshly.

Afraid of offending someone who cannot be offended.
