Chapter 320
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's appearance and listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, the people present looked at He Jian differently. This is obviously valued by His Royal Highness, and the future is boundless!

"This is just the duty of a minister, and should not be praised by His Highness the Crown Prince." He Jian quickly bowed and said modestly, with no joy on his face. I don't know if he really thinks so, or if he is just happy and angry. color.

Zhu Youtang glanced at his son, and then turned his head to look at He Jian. Based on his understanding of his son, this He Jian might be attracted by his son again.Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang couldn't help sighing, this He Jian didn't know it, he was taken by his son, and it was useless to continue working as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Okay, let's talk about what to do about this!" Zhu Youtang looked at his son and said angrily, "This is a big deal!"

"It's easy to handle. Since these refugees have no land or property and nowhere to live, then we should move them away. Whether it is Liaodong or Northwest, there is a shortage of people." Zhu Houzhao said as a matter of course: "Some moved to Liaodong, and some Moved to the northwest, the northwest and Liaodong are both sparsely populated, and they happened to fill the population in the past.”

Migration to the real border is something that many dynasties in history have done, and Zhu Houzhao doesn't think it's wrong.

The concentration of people in the south of the Yangtze River is a big problem. Zhu Houzhao would not fight against land annexation and then distribute land to the people, because it would be futile.In this era where land is the main means of production, land annexation is an unsolvable problem, unless the nationalization of land is fully implemented and land reform is carried out like later generations.

But the basis of the feudal emperor's rule is the landlord. Are you nationalizing the land?If you rebel, it's almost the same.

As the saying goes, is it the land of the king under the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's minister. Under such values, no one will agree with you to engage in state-owned.The common people are not yet wise, and he will not let you do this. People will die in the cross-epoch.Zhu Houzhao plans to move the people away, from places with many people to places with few people. This is the kingly way.

The east, west and north of Liao are all places where I want to develop a large scale, so I just let these people go there, killing two birds with one stone.

You must know that the people of this era are more difficult to leave their homeland than later generations. These refugees are the best immigrants. They have no permanent property and just go to Liaodong and Northwest.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, everyone's faces were a little weird, and Zhu Youtang's face was even darker. In this era, immigration is mandatory. All dynasties have been suppressed by large armies, and there were no casualties along the way. Forget it, in any dynasty, this kind of policy is not a benevolent government, and it was the Qin and Han Dynasties that used it the most and the most barbaric.

In the later dynasties, such things became less and less, and His Royal Highness actually wanted to immigrate to Shibian, and it was still a large scale of nearly one million people.

"Don't you think it's unrealistic?" Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao and said directly: "So many people, how can they immigrate? Once the operation is not done properly, the people will rise up." Zhu Youtang's voice raised a lot. Shao: "It's hard to leave the homeland. Will these people be willing to go to the Northwest, to Liaodong? When someone with a heart instigates it, it will be a sloppy trend."

Someone with a heart?fan?Sloppy trend?Zhu Houzhao was very disapproving, it was simply impossible for this to happen.

"Your Highness, the land of Jingxiang is very important. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Once Jingxiang is in chaos, it will inevitably be turbulent in the southeast, which is terrible!" Xie Qian said quickly, with a very firm expression on his face. Anyway, he has made up his mind, this time, no matter what, he can't let His Royal Highness mess around, and he would rather resign from office.

Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately: "There are more and more refugees in Daming. It can be seen that the people are suffering day by day. They must find some way to solve it. It is not impossible to resettle them locally, but there must be a place to resettle them. Since they cannot be moved to In Liaodong and Northwest, it is better to resettle them in Jingxiang, thoroughly inspect the acres of land, and any family with more than [-] acres of land must sell the land to the imperial court."

"The land price should be half of the market price, otherwise the imperial court would not be able to afford it. The land bought by the imperial court can be used to resettle the people."

"This is absolutely impossible." Hearing this, Xie Qian's expression changed drastically, and he said quickly: "Isn't it forced to buy and sell land by the imperial court at half price? Is this what the imperial court did?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Yes, what Master Xie said is that I think it is simple. Since it is not right to move away, it is not right to resettle on the spot. I wonder what advice Master Xie has?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent instantly. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and Xie Qian's face turned red. What could he do?The refugee problem arose very early. This was not only a problem during the Hongzhi period. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Zhengzheng period, refugees gathered in this area. There is no way to make it.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang continued the Yuan system, and still implemented a policy of sealing off the Jingxiang area. He once sent Wei Guogong Deng Yu and his troops to Fangxian County to clean up, "empty the land, and the refugees are not allowed to enter."

This is not just a problem in Jingxiang, it is also a problem that the whole country must face.

Everyone present knew this, and of course Xie Qian also understood that the main reason was the corruption of officials and violent land annexation.

Who is to blame for the corrupt government?It's not like they are officials, they are gentry, who is to blame for the fierce land annexation?It's not them who are officials, these gentry.The problem is their own, and the benefits are also taken by themselves. What do you ask them to do?Cut your own flesh?That's simply not possible.

Zhu Houzhao did not let the atmosphere continue to be awkward, but continued to say: "In the spring of the first year of Chenghua, the Jingxiang refugees rebelled, and the leader of the rebels was named Liu Tong. Liu Tong is from Xihua, Henan, because he once raised his hands in front of the county government office. Qianjin stone lion, known as Liu Qianjin. In his early years, he was hunted down by officials for robbing a rich man with the surname Li in Dengzhou."

"During the Zhengtong period, he went into exile in the mountainous areas of Xiangyang and Fangxian to make a living. In April of the first year of Chenghua, he took the lead in the rebellion and received the support and response of many refugees. After the rebellion, Liu Tong called himself "King of Han" Rapidly developed and expanded to tens of thousands of people, based in the northwestern part of Huguang, attacked Nanyang in Henan, reached the west bank of the Han River in Shaanxi in the west, and reached the border of Qihuang in Huguang in the east.

"The imperial court dispatched a large army to criticize the rebellion, which lasted two years and cost a huge amount of money and food. However, in the sixth year of Chenghua, the second rebellion came again. The rebel was Li Yuan, who called himself "Taiping King". Pioneer officials and others moved to fight in Xiangyang to Nanzhang, Nanyang to Neixiang, Xi'an to Weinan and other places, and the number of refugees responded reached one million.
