According to preliminary statistics from the secret guards, more than 500,000 people were implicated this time.
Quite a few of them have read books.
If we follow the current tradition and kill them all, it will undoubtedly be a huge waste.
So Zhu Youjian planned to hold an amnesty.
That’s right, it’s amnesty!
This is the favorite amnesty of the Ming Dynasty's powerful locals.
But this amnesty does not give them tax relief.
But to show his kindness.
Of course, the purpose of the amnesty is not to absolve them of their guilt, but to exile them all to Taiwan.
Taiwan is the treasure island of Ming Dynasty.
After regaining Taiwan, many Ming people went to develop it.
There are many people in Ming Dynasty.
However, under traditional thinking, many people are particularly resistant to leaving their hometown.
Of course you can use force, but Zhu Youjian is the emperor after all.
You still need to keep face when doing things.
Especially after offending so many noble and powerful landlords, we cannot afford to lose the support of the people.
Although Zhu Youjian still has many ways to immigrate, it takes time.
The 500,000 people in front of us are not in vain.
Those who are literate can go to Taiwan to educate the indigenous people on the island.
The rest can be used to vigorously open up wasteland.
Anyway, Taiwan now has a lot of wasteland.
....
"Your Majesty has an order..."
Following Zhu Youjian's order, 500,000 criminals were divided into teams of 500,000 and embarked on the road to Taiwan.
In order to increase the other party's enthusiasm, people kept explaining the court's policies along the way.
When we arrived in Taiwan, each person was given ten acres of land and received a 50% tax for the first three years.
After three years, the land will be owned by the individual and only one-tenth of the tax will be paid.
Before the grain is produced, the court will provide food for half a year.
"Really? The court won't punish us for our crimes, but will give each of us ten acres of land? I'm not dreaming!"
Many of the so-called sinners were slaves sold into the homes of powerful landlords.
Hard work can only be exchanged for food.
Now that the owner's house was raided, they were implicated and forced to immigrate to Taiwan.
But he is no longer a slave, but a dignified Mingren.
Now each person is assigned ten acres of land. After working for three years, the land will be his own. How could he not be excited?
"Of course it's not a dream. Your Majesty is merciful. Although you are guilty, your sins will not lead to death...
However, although these lands belong to you, you do not have the right to buy or sell land. All land sales must be approved by the court. "The soldier on the side explained.
There are differences between people.
As time goes by, a large number of these people will definitely rise.
If land is allowed to be bought and sold at will, in thirty to fifty years, Taiwan's land will probably fall into the hands of powerful landlords again.
The current land annexation in Ming Dynasty has become very serious.
There is now a large amount of unowned land abroad that can alleviate this crisis.
But what will happen after those lands are divided up in the future?
Capital is ruthless.
In the face of interests, capital can mercilessly drain everyone.
By then the court may not have enough ability to resolve these matters.
In order to avoid this situation, Zhu Youjian could only formulate strict laws to protect the interests of the lowest level people.
Zhu Youjian is not a rigid person either. With the development of science and technology, small farmers will eventually be eliminated.
Large-scale and mechanization are the melody of the future.
In addition, infrastructure construction in the future will inevitably occupy a lot of people’s land.
In order to prevent someone from using the law to make trouble and become a thorn in the side, Zhu Youjian also made corresponding regulations.
....
Some are happy, some are sad.
Compared with the joy of the slaves, the masters were so worried that their heads were broken.
Many people who could not bear the great changes wanted to commit suicide, but they were all stopped by the secret guards and their former servants.
After all, the virtues of those literati may not be that noble. But the literary talent and influence are there.
If so many people really died, it's unclear how they would describe Zhu Youjian.
Although Zhu Youjian knew that history is written by the victors.
As long as those literati don't seek death and talk about themselves, Zhu Youjian doesn't care much.
But this does not mean that Zhu Youjian is willing to be discredited.
I don't want others to gossip behind my back.
. . . . .
After handling these trivial matters, Zhu Youjian went to bed early.
Early the next morning,
Zhu Youjian hurriedly took off his pajamas, put on gold silk armor, and then put on two layers of fur clothes.
Under the escort of 50 imperial guards, he passed through a secret passage and entered a small courtyard near the palace.
This secret passage was ordered by Zhu Youjian to be excavated by the biochemical soldiers for the sake of convenience.
In order to ensure the safety here and facilitate the transportation of supplies, Zhu Youjian purchased several nearby yards through the Qiming Chamber of Commerce. Converted into a warehouse.
Under normal circumstances, there will be a Beijing camp of 1,000 people to protect it.
Inaccessible to ordinary people.
This small courtyard only allows biochemical soldiers to enter.
But today, Zhu Youjian was not planning to place idle items.
Instead, get ready and go out for a walk.
Since taking the throne, especially after the last assassination, Zhu Youjian has basically never left the palace.
Staying in the palace, although there are secret guards and royal guards constantly reporting on world affairs, how can they be directly observed by themselves?
As for safety, Zhu Youjian is not worried, after the last assassination. Both the secret guards and the Jin Yiwei have stepped up inspections around the capital, arresting and expelling countless people with evil intentions.
There are guards around him to protect him openly and covertly, so there is no need to worry about safety.
After all, he did it casually, and basically no one knew his plan.
If the 50 forbidden troops cannot protect themselves in the capital under this situation, then they can just wipe their necks.
...
"Hu Spicy Soup, Hu Spicy Soup, authentic Hu Ji Hu Spicy Soup, delicious and dehumidifying Hu Spicy Soup." While Zhu Youjian was wandering around, a hoarse voice came over.
Looking for the sound, I saw a steaming cauldron. Next to the cauldron, there was a table full of oil and some dishes and chopsticks placed on it.
An old man with wrinkles on his face and patches all over his body was working hard to drink.
On the other side of the table, there is a small oil pan and a steaming basket piled high.
"Boss, let's have three bowls of spicy soup. Then three pork buns and three fried dough sticks."
While talking, Zhu Youjian sat on a small stool next to him.
"Wait a moment. Coming soon"
There were not many customers around, and before long, 30,000 steaming spicy soups and 3 steaming steamed buns appeared in front of Zhu Youjian.
"Sit down and eat together." Zhu Youjian pointed to the two guards behind him and said.
"I obey, young master," the two guards said.
Zhu Youjian is greedy, but he is also afraid of death.
Although spicy soup is a famous dish in Zhu Youjian's hometown in his previous life, Zhu Youjian is not willing to risk his life just to eat it.
