Deng Chushan stood up obediently, sat down with half his buttocks, and waited for Zhu Jun's instructions.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Jun was helpless and said: "I am conducting a secret visit this time. Please don't reveal my identity."
Undercover visit?
Deng Chushan smiled bitterly in his heart. Thunderstorms hit Yangzhou and Suzhou one after another. It was probably the result of this man's secret visit.
Both places are not very far from Songjiang Prefecture, and there are many merchants on this route, so the information is very good.
The so-called imperial envoy is probably the same man.
What a great trick, his identity has been exposed until now.
However, it is very likely that there are two lines, and there may really be such an imperial envoy secretly.
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions!"
"Be careful when it comes to the tidal flats. There are pirates causing trouble behind your back. I haven't been here long, but there is something fishy about this matter.
I have seen all the official documents outside the yamen, and you also talked to the village gossips about this matter.
It stands to reason that this is a win-win.
It is normal to have some die-hards, but not all people in a dozen fishing villages will resist.
I also went to see the fishing village. The life can only be regarded as poverty, far from being rich. They have no reason to refuse.
If it's because you enriched your own pockets and deprived yourself of the benefits, that's possible.
But when I took a look today, it shouldn’t be the case.
I also heard that some large households in the city are hoarding houses and driving up prices.
These two things may or may not be related.
But what I'm most worried about are the pirates.
Qian Hegao, who was the king and hegemon in Ningbo Prefecture, was from Songjiang Prefecture. "
"Your Highness is saying that there may be pirates in Qian's Village?"
"I'm just guessing." Zhu Jun said: "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Giving money, land, and houses is such a good thing that even big families will be tempted, let alone these fishermen who have been poor all their lives?
Even if they dare to secretly go fishing in the sea without starving to death, they will never make a fortune.
Therefore, there must be a problem here.
The sea is a treasure mountain. Water can be diverted to boil sea salt, and sea trade can also be carried out.
Observe these days and see who in each village has not moved out.
Excluding those old stubborns, there must be something wrong with the rest! "
Deng Chushan's expression became solemn, "Yes, I understand."
"Don't be too nervous. Next, I will stay in Songjiang Mansion secretly to assist you in your work.
In addition, the navy will come to the seaside for secret training in the near future. At that time, an area will be allocated to me as a training base for the navy. " Zhu Jun said.
"Navy base?" Deng Chushan took a breath, "Does His Highness want to use Songjiang Mansion as a fiefdom?"
"No, this is a direct-controlled government, how can it be my king's fiefdom." Zhu Jun shook his head, "When the time comes, I will ask for an imperial edict from my father. You just have to act in accordance with the imperial edict. I won't make it difficult for you.
I will secretly clean up the pirates and thieves in Songjiang Mansion, and then all the credit will be credited to you. "
"I don't dare!"
"What dare you? You have to cooperate with me to do this. My men haven't arrived yet. They are sweeping all the way from Yangzhou. They will sweep here in a short time." Zhu Jun said calmly. "These days, the number of bandits that I have wiped out from both the bandits and sea bandits is not even 10,000 but 8,000. You can continue to take advantage of the benefits given to you."
But if you dare to reveal my identity, your prefect will be doomed. "
Deng Chushan swallowed and suddenly understood.
King Wu was secretly training his troops and simultaneously attacking pirates and mountain bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court must have known about this.
As King Wu said, this is indeed a credit, and doing it well will be beneficial to the entire environment.
"Your Highness just borrowed ten courages from your subordinates to dare not reveal His Highness's identity!" Deng Chushan said.
"Very good. You can do whatever you need to do on weekdays. Just pretend that I'm not here. We don't want to have too much contact." Zhu Jun stood up and said, "Go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first. If you have any follow-up actions, please let me know." Writing to you.
If you have any questions, you can also send someone to see me! "
Then he asked Shen Erbao to give Deng Chushan an address before leaving.
"I'll see you off."
"Stop." Zhu Jun smiled and left with Shen Erbao.
After Zhu Jun left, Deng Chushan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not do anything excessive, otherwise King Wu would not talk to him so warmly this time.
He needs to be more careful about what he does.
After leaving the magistrate's office, Li Xiangjun said: "Brother Li seems to be in a good mood!"
"With you by my side, I'm naturally in a good mood!" Zhu Jun smiled lightly.
Li Xiangjun smiled and said: "It is said that the Longmen Temple in Songjiang is very efficacious. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Zhu Jun nodded, "Let's go."
The next day, after a night, those who had taken the money put aside their uneasiness and ran to the government office to register for rent. Everything went smoothly.
Moreover, the rented house is better than the one they live in now, and they are too embarrassed to move the belongings in their home.
As soon as the news spread, the people in the fishing village couldn't sit still. They all took their household registration certificates and ran to the prefect's Yamen to get money.
Land division is also in progress, and a large part of the extra land is reclaimed wasteland.
The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are fertile. Although there are many people, there is still a lot of land that has not been developed.
It is enough to accommodate these people.
Moreover, the development was all carried out by the Yamen's organization, and the Guantian logo was uniformly inserted.
In addition, the great cause of founding the country is still in time, and those wealthy landlords and officials do not dare to annex land blatantly. After all, Lao Zhu's deterrence is still very strong.
If it were another thirty or fifty years, even the wasteland would have been annexed.
The first batch of people in Qianjia Village who were allotted land with money couldn't help but feel happy when they saw the reclaimed land. Although it was not the upper field, it was still the middle field. Three acres of land per person was enough.
Coupled with the compensation money, it was enough for them to counterattack and change their lives.
Who wants to continue fishing in the sea and become a fisherman smelling like fish?
All of them were smiling and no longer doubted the court and the Yamen.
As soon as the news spread, people in other villages went crazy.
If you don't catch this kind of good thing like pie in the sky, you'd be a fool.
But even so, the benefits are not over yet, and the third wave of pie is coming.
In the newly opened market, some houses have been completed, each with six floors.
They are all brick houses, spacious and bright, and have been plastered with lime. You only need to install doors and windows before you can move in.
This environment, even if it is not completed, is still a hundred times better than the one they lived in before!
Because they are the first batch, they can choose their own house.
At this time, everyone in Qianjia Village was smiling and praising the court and the Yamen.
But when the news reached the ears of the old village chief, things changed.
"Dad, someone secretly went to collect money again. If this continues, we will become the bare commanders!" Qian Henian was like an ant on a hot pot, "How about we also go to collect money?"
