After leaving the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Zhu Di returned to the East Palace.

Zhu Biao lived in this place and Zhu Yunwen lived in it. Now, as the official office of the State Supervisor, Zhu Di became the new owner. However, Zhu Di didn't like the arrangement of the Eastern Palace. It turned out that Zhu Biao was very frugal, and his residence was one level lower than Zhu Yuanzhang, but when Zhu Yunwen became the owner, he changed a lot.

For example, the large ivory nanmu bed is covered with layers of leather, including wolf skin, mink skin, lynx skin...they are fancy and whistle, like a big cotton bag.

Zhu Di was too lazy to ask for these things, so he gave them all to the meritorious soldiers in the army. He made an old sheepskin mattress, a thin layer, and then lay on the hard bed, resting on the hard bed!

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so frugal. The princess is about to enter Beijing. She still has the prince's children in her belly. You can't treat the princess badly, right?"

Liu Chun made a cup of tea for Zhu Di. It was Xiaolong Group, and I don’t know where he bought it.

Zhu Di knew Liu Chun's virtue very well, "You are the one who is most greedy for enjoyment at heart. By the way, I still remember that you had eaten a dish that was fried bean sprouts. As a result, a piece of ham shredded pork was stuffed into each bean sprout, which was hard for you to do it?"

Liu Chun smiled apologized, "Prince, I just taste it occasionally. I think I can taste the food. I eat it every day, just beef chews peonies and wastes things. But if I don't eat it once in my life, I feel regretful."

Zhu Di snorted, "It makes sense to say it, but I can't do it! I'm a little lazy. Once I tried it, it will be written in history, it will be known to everyone in the world, it will be effective, and many people will want to try it!"

Zhu Di sighed deeply, "So, it's not easy for me! Millions of people have to open their mouths to eat. I am the master in charge of the kitchen. It's not appropriate for anyone to serve. I have to serve a bowl of water..."

From food, clothing, flowers and flowers, we finally talk about the family, country and the world. It was not Zhu Di who pretended to be garlic, but that was the case. Although Xu Huizu's diary involved too much content, it was enough to liquidate the Qing Dynasty and completely destroy Zhu Yunwen's group.

But what's the use?

It can't be proved that Zhu Yunwen is a bad guy, so Zhu Di succeeded. These are two completely different things.

As the saying goes, Zhu Di must quickly restore the people's livelihood economy and quickly give the people a full meal so that they can gain a foothold!

"Liu Chun, you have been busy for so long and have you figured out whether my nephew has left what kind of mess left?" Zhu Di leaned over and asked.

Liu Chun said: "There are many messes and everything needs to be solved. But I think the most important thing is that the unemployed vagrants in the big cities in Jiangnan have more than one million. If they cannot settle down as soon as possible, they will become a powder barrel."

Liu Chun is busy every day and spends his greatest energy on figuring out what is happening. He must understand and judge the entire situation.

I still remember that in the development of overseas trade, Zhu Yuanzhang, instinctively demanded to control the scale of trade and not impact the farmland. However, Liu Chun also formulated the official trade policy, which was recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But when Zhu Yunwen came, civil servants from the aristocratic family were attracted by the profits of overseas trade. They tried hard to get involved. After two years of land annexation, a large number of refugees were driven to the city to make a living like animals.

If this is already sad enough, then even more sad is still behind. Royal Bank collapsed, many city workshops and shops collapsed, and the small bosses lost their savings, and restaurants, teahouses, cars, and porters on the docks were all unemployed.

The original urban people had no jobs, let alone the young and strong people who flocked in.

How many of these people are there?

According to the most conservative estimate, there are as many as 700,000 to 800,000 in Yingtian and Suzhou alone!

In addition, the 200,000 imperial guards in the capital, Mei Yin's troops, and the defeated troops and local brave soldiers were also around 600,000 to 700,000.

"Prince, that is to say, in a short period of time, we must let more than two million young and strong people find a livelihood and be able to live and work in peace. Otherwise, these people will collude with the old ministers of Jianwen and continue to rebel!"

Zhu Di frowned, "Is it okay to start a large-scale project construction like in Peking?"

"It's very difficult!" Liu Chun admitted honestly, "We need to resettle only 100,000 or 200,000 people in Peking, which is more than ten times more than the south of Jiangnan. Moreover, we don't have that much money. Projects can be done, but they cannot solve the main problems. Otherwise, our finances will be destroyed first."

"What about immigration? How about immigration to Liaodong?"

"It's also difficult. Now in the north, especially in Liaodong, it's still winter. If you want to immigrate in large quantities, you have to wait until three months later, and you have to equip the immigrants with enough supplies and prepare housing. In short, there are too many people, and immigration is beyond our ability. It's not realistic to restore the industry and commerce in Jiangnan. It's easy to destroy, but it's too difficult to rebuild."

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "Liu Chun, there is probably only one way to settle these people now."

Liu Chun did not deny that there was only one way left.

To be honest, Liu Chun used to talk about reform, and tried his best to get rid of his mouth... But people are lazy. The current situation is not bad, so they have to just live by. Those who benefit may not be grateful, but those who suffer will definitely oppose it, and they will instigate a lot of people to oppose it.

But these people didn't expect that it was because of their troubles that it has been so difficult that even if they don't want to change the law, they can only solve the problem by filling in the entire gentry group.

Zhu Di held Xu Huizu's small notebook, which also contained a part that specifically recorded the Xu family's property.

It is said that the bun has meat but not on the folds. The huge Zhongshan Palace is full of fat meat and oily from the inside out!

Among them, there are nearly 300,000 mu of land alone! There is no need to say about other houses, shops, manors, and business banks.

"Divid the Xu family's property, at least 10,000 people can be settled, or 120%." Zhu Di smiled at Liu Chun in a silence, "There is no way. Even if the princess is unhappy, I have no other way."

What else can Liu Chun say? Let’s share the blessings and share the difficulties!

"Prince, I think I should go see someone before doing this."

"who?"

"Fang Xiaoru!"

...

A simple yard, a grape, a square table, a yard of about 20 square meters, three main rooms, and two wing rooms. This is Fang Xiaoru's residence in Beijing.

The wings on both sides were filled with books, and no one came to destroy them after he died.

Liu Chun and Zhu Di came to the courtyard and were watching everywhere. Suddenly there was footsteps outside. The guard stopped him. The man hurriedly said, "The official is Yang Shiqi. I'm here, I'm here to pay homage to Mr. Fang."

Zhu Di said inside: "Let him come in."

The guards moved aside, Yang Shiqi walked in quickly, and when he saw Zhu Di and Liu Chun, he hurried over to salute.

"The emperor has met His Highness, the Young Master, and the Young Master!"

Liu Chun smiled, "Yang Shiqi, I invited you to Beijing, taught at Jimingshan School, and participated in the compilation of the imperial ancestor teachings... I haven't been implicated by me in the past few years, are you?"

As soon as these words were said, Yang Shiqi was so scared that he knelt down. Logically speaking, he was a member of Liu Chun and his group, but most of the others participated in the Jingnan Army. Even if they did not participate, they would retreat to the forest.

It was really unreasonable that he would continue to be an official in the court and get involved with Fang Xiaoru.

"The lower official has the kindness of the young master who has been supported by the young master, and the lower official is guilty!"

Liu Chun chuckled, "You need to say nothing, I know your business. It is reasonable that you have an old mother to support you."

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Shaofu, for your understanding. The officials in Beijing are all protected by Fang Xiaoru, and..." Yang Shiqi did not dare to speak.

Zhu Di looked at him and said, "Tell me, don't hesitate."

"It's... the lower officials, the lower officials think that Fang Xiaoru and those officials seem to be different!"

Zhu Di looked at him for a while and suddenly laughed, "What does it mean is different, it's very different!" Zhu Di said viciously, "This person with Fang surname is unhappy. If he is willing to surrender to this king, clear the land and implement equal land, he is the best candidate, but he insists on dying with Zhu Yunwen. It's really pedantic and hopeless!"

Yang Shiqi and Zhu Di were shocked. After all, Fang Xiaoru was still an old minister of Jianwen, and he was the second only to Huang Zicheng. His Highness of Yan actually praised him very much... No wonder Fang Xiaoru's last words were so strange. At this moment, Yang Shiqi seemed to understand.

Thinking of this, he mustered up the courage, "Your Highness, Young Master, before the city was broken, Fang Xiaoru asked the Wei minister to bring a few words."

Zhu Di said: "Tell me."

"That's right... He said that there may be good people among the scholars, but if the radical reform is successful, the scholars must be eliminated... He also said that he will, and will remove the biggest stumbling block for Master Shaofu!"

Liu Chun was stunned, "When did he say this?"

"It was before the army crossed the river and Zhu Yunwen summoned the state affairs... By the way, after Gong Fang entered the palace, Gong Yansheng Gong Kong Ne and Gongjian died, and then all officials beat Gong Fang at Zuoshunmen. He was seriously injured and almost died. When he returned to his residence, Wu Hua brought people to kill Gong Fang. He also said that he colluded with the Jingnan Army and had ulterior motives."

Zhu Di and Liu Chun were both shocked. They both knew about Yan Shenggong's death. Zhu Di still felt that God was helping him, but he didn't expect that it was Fang Xiaoru's contribution!

Zhu Di sighed meaningfully, looking very regretful and annoyed, "Liu Chun, this Fang Xiaoru is indeed different, but it's a pity that he can't use it for me!"

Liu Chun pondered: "He saw the problem. When he was discussing peace on the river, I talked to him. Fang Xiaoru always regarded himself as a scholar. But I knew that the so-called scholars should be the kind of kind of kind who died for the confidant of the past, which was completely different from the scholars today. He chose to die for the sake of the Tao in his heart."

When Zhu Di was in Peiping, he had contacted Fang Xiaoru. At that time, Lao Fang was a corrupt scholar and Zhu Di looked down on him at all. But more than ten years later, Fang Xiaoru had such a bright mind, which was really impressive. But he would rather die than be loyal to him. It was a pity!

"Yang Shiqi, what do you think of Fang Xiaoru's last words?"

"This..." Yang Shiqi pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Jiang Fu just said that Fang Xiaoru's scholar was a benevolent person in ancient times. I feel that Fang Gong mostly wanted to eliminate all preferential treatments from scholars today, so that scholars could restore their ancient style, value righteousness over profit, take the world as their own responsibility, and take the welfare of the people as their own mind!"

After hearing Yang Shiqi's words, Zhu Di was very satisfied. He glanced at Liu Chun, "What do you think?"

"What Yang Shiqi said is indeed high-sounding!" Liu Chun smiled and said, "Every ancient scholars were landlords. Their lives were even more freer than those of the current gentry landlords!"

Liu Chun changed the subject, "But Yang Shiqi also pointed to the key point. Scholars should have a responsibility, a mentality, rather than a privilege!"

"So... I suggest that all the land of gentry and the land of refugees be confiscated immediately, and that the refugees must act immediately without further delay!"
