Chapter 637: More Than 100,000 People Died, More Than 200,000 People Were Imprisoned, Zhu Yuanzhang
On the Dan steps of Wenhua Hall, Yan Changqing stood on a high place and looked down.
The [Da Ming Dynasty Sand Table] covers an area of 100 feet, with mountains, rivers, lakes, cities, villages, and fields...
Although the height of the mountains has not been determined, the length of the river has not been determined, the width of the lake has not been determined, and the distance between provinces, prefectures, prefectures and counties and the details in between are also not marked The Grand Pure Onechu.
The entire [Da Ming Dynasty Sand Table] looks like a very rough, very imperfect, and even very unqualified sand table!
However, the only good thing is that the land owned by the 12 Chief Secretaries and down to the 1,024 counties.
Whether it is official land or civilian land, everything is clearly recorded and displayed in this "Tian Ming Wei Xia Sand Table"!
As long as you stand on the Dan steps of Wenhua Hall and take a condescending glance, you can clearly and intuitively see where the provinces, prefectures, states, and counties in the world are located, as well as the distribution of acres of land in each place!!!
"It's really unbelievable that in such a short period of time, all the land in the world has been counted clearly!!!"
Yan Changqing couldn't help but admired.
Although the current [Daming Dynasty Sand Table] accurately records only the distribution of various provinces, prefectures, states, and counties in the world, as well as the number of acres of land under them, other mountains, rivers, and other information are not fully recorded.
But don’t forget, although today’s Ming Dynasty’s territory has not yet reached its future peak, it now at least has a huge territory of millions of square kilometers!
In just one year last year, we were able to conduct an inventory, statistics and verification of the number of acres of land in a land area of millions of square kilometers.
Such a thing is incredible in today's era of pure human execution!!!
At least Yan Changqing found it very incredible. Originally, he thought that it would take several years at least to complete such a thing.
It is not too much to even formulate a five-year plan specifically for inventory, statistics, and verification of the number of acres of land.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side couldn't help but show a proud look on his face when he heard Yan Changqing's shocked admiration.
Because in the past, Yan Changqing gave them the impression that he was the image of a wise man with wisdom and a vision that could see thousands of years into the future.
There was almost nothing that could shock and surprise Yan Changqing.
17 Even if there are some things that Yan Changqing didn't pay special attention to, he didn't expect them.
But after talking to him, he was able to connect everything from the details, and finally understood the cause and effect, and even gave corresponding solutions!
Therefore, under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang and others had rarely seen Yan Changqing show an expression of surprise.
But now Yan Changqing showed an expression of shock and surprise, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel that he could sometimes "detach" Saint's gaze and do things Saint unexpectedly did.
After feeling secretly happy in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly:
"Last year during the Ming Dynasty, we did a total of two things!"
"For external affairs, recover Liaodong."
“Internally, inventory and statistics of land acres are carried out.
"For the former, thanks to your husband, the army doctors from Wanmin Medical College, and the special first aid nurses trained, less than a thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty died, and all other injured soldiers survived."
"The latter has killed more than 100,000 local officials, gentry, clansmen, landlords, and wealthy businessmen, and detained more than 200,000 people, and they have not yet been released!!!"
For Zhu Yuanzhang, or for the Ming court, the two things just mentioned were what the entire Ming Dynasty really did last year.
As for other policies such as the abolition of the capitation tax, the reform of the policy of dividing the land into an area, the weights and measures policy, and the reform of invoices, they are also very important.
However, the manpower and material resources required are far less than those required for the above two things.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say that more than 100,000 local officials, gentry, clansmen, landlords, and wealthy businessmen were killed during the land survey, and more than 200,000 people were imprisoned, Yan Changqing frowned, looked sideways at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with doubts:
"How come so many people died?!"
"Are they all rebelling?!!"
In the original history, Zhu Yuanzhang had not never done such things as inventorying the land in the world.
But even if the original historical inventory of land in the world did not result in the death of more than 100,000 local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen, or the detention of more than 100,000 local officials!
If such a thing happened, it would definitely be a major event that is not inferior to the four major Hongwu cases. It is impossible not to be recorded in history!!!
[In the original history, there was no such thing as killing more than 100,000 local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen, and imprisoning more than 200,000 people. But now it has happened, which means that I influenced or caused such a thing. occur?!!】
Just when Yan Changqing was thinking about what he had done to cause such a thing to happen.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked calm and said with cold eyes:
"Led the crowd to obstruct, and even attacked, officials who were enforcing inventory, statistics, and verification of land and acres!!!"
“Isn’t this kind of behavior considered a rebellion?!!”
Hearing this, Yan Changqing was slightly startled and said in disbelief:
"How dare they?!"
"Who gave them the courage?!!"
"Don't they know that the grass on the graves of the last Korean public figures like Lee Shan-chang and others who attempted to rebel are already ten feet tall?!!"
It’s not that Yan Changqing looks down on those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen, but that the class characteristics of those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy merchants are destined to be weak!
Even every policy he proposed before was to use a big knife to cut the flesh of local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen.
But for those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen, unless Zhu Yuanzhang directly wants their lives and will not give them a way to survive at all, or there are crazy interests that can make them forget Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife.
Otherwise, if you give those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen ten more courage, they will not dare to rebel!
As a result, now it happened that they led the crowd to obstruct, and even attacked the officials who were inspecting, counting, and verifying the land and acres of the imperial court. This kind of thing is tantamount to making trouble.
There must be something wrong with this!
In other words, there must be some other things happening here that he doesn't know about!
Looking at Yan Changqing who was thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and said:
"Of course we gave them the courage!!!"
"On the surface, we have dispatched 300,000 Beijing troops and 500,000 local soldiers to campaign in Liaodong, creating a phenomenon of emptiness in domestic power!"
"Secretly, we sent Jin Yiwei to disperse all over the world to constantly stir up dissatisfaction among local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen against the imperial court!"
"In addition, we will let all the civil and military officials and noble marquises in the imperial court release news of their dissatisfaction with us, creating the appearance that people in the world have been suffering from us for a long time!"
"In the end, they mistakenly believed that as long as they gathered a crowd to resist, all the civil and military officials from the imperial court to local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen would all respond to Jing Cong!"
"Finally, for the sake of the overall stability of the country, let us take back our orders and revoke the previous government orders!"
Hearing this, Yan Changqing already understood why those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen dared to lead the crowd to obstruct, and even attacked the officials who were inspecting, counting, and verifying the land and acres of the imperial court. This kind of thing was in the form of rebellion.
It is obvious that in this wave of local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen, Zhu Yuanzhang was caught enforcing the law!
Originally, local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen had a very strong interest in Zhu Yuanzhang's policies such as the abolition of the capitation tax, the reform of the policy of dividing households into acres, the redefinition of weights and measures, the reform of invoices, and the inventory and statistics of land and acres in the world. Big complaints and dissatisfaction.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's policies were not only cutting their flesh with a knife, but also stabbing them all at once with three or five large knives at the same time, which could almost kill them.
It's just that due to Zhu Yuanzhang's terrifying power in the past, they just dared to be angry and dare not speak out.
As a result, it was suddenly discovered that they were not the only ones dissatisfied with the policies issued by Zhu Yuanzhang [the ten civil and military officials in the court, and the noble marquis were also "dissatisfied" | with the policies issued by Zhu Yuanzhang!
In addition, a group of Jin Yiwei painted a pie for them:
"The imperial court's 800,000-strong army is in Liaodong. Most of the Ming Dynasty's military forces have been held back by the forces of the Northeast Yuan Dynasty in Liaoning. Now the imperial court simply does not have the extra troops to suppress them!!!"
"People all over the world have been dissatisfied with 'Zhu Chongba' for a long time. As long as they take action, all the civil and military officials of the court and noble marquis will speak out for them. Local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen from all over the world will follow suit." !!!"
"As long as they raise a huge enough momentum, even enough to shake the country's state, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely give in to the stability of the Ming Dynasty's state!!!"
"At that time, they will not only be able to make Zhu Yuanzhang withdraw the policies that are unfavorable to them, but they may even be able to go one step further and obtain more benefits from the imperial court, etc.!!"
In short, under the deception of the imperial guards, as well as the false information released by the civil and military officials and noble marquises of the imperial court.
Coupled with the complaints and dissatisfaction of the local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen themselves, they finally stepped into the pit one after another when their minds got hot.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang said on the surface that he would mobilize 800,000 troops to Liaodong, but in fact he only sent 300,000 troops to Liaodong.
When they gathered to make trouble, violently obstructed them, and even attacked the officials who were checking, counting, and verifying the land, the remaining 500,000 troops were immediately suppressed!
Thinking of this, Yan Changqing sighed softly and said:
"Your Majesty, this is fishing law enforcement, it's not very good!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and asked:
“What is ‘fishing law enforcement’?!!”
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's confused look, Yan Changqing explained:
"The so-called 'fishing law enforcement' means that according to legal principles, the parties involved had no intention to break the law, but they engaged in illegal activities under the inducement of law enforcement officers!!!"
"To put it bluntly, those local officials, gentry, clans, landowners, and wealthy businessmen originally had complaints and dissatisfaction at most, but they never thought of violently stopping or attacking the officials who wanted to inventory, count, and verify the land and acres."
"But His Majesty deliberately tempted them to violently stop and attack the officials who were inspecting, counting, and verifying the land and acres!!!"
After listening to Yan Changqing's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly:
"Humph, we are fishing!!!"
"But if they don't have evil intentions, how can they be caught by us?"
For Yan Chang
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think there was anything wrong with the "fishing and law enforcement" thing that Qing mentioned.
In his opinion, he is fishing for law enforcement.
But if all those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen have no evil intentions, do not listen to other people's deceptions, and cooperate with the court to complete various tasks peacefully,
Policy, how could he be caught by him?!
And being able to be caught by him only means that the local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen all have thoughts that they shouldn't have!!!
Zhu Yuanzhang has never been merciful to such people.
Clearing them out will only make Ming Dynasty more stable!
"Your Majesty, aren't you worried about being undressed?!!"
"After all, if those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen really seduced and coerced a large number of people into making trouble, then even His Majesty might not be able to do so.
Is it a happy ending?!!"
Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said calmly.
After all, those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen have been entrenched in the place for so long. If they really confuse the people, they are really capable of doing so in a short period of time.
He coerced some people into making trouble.
"We were worried about this, so we delayed it until after the summer harvest before starting to add fuel to the flames!!!"
"After the summer harvest, people in every county in the world will see with their own eyes that potatoes with a yield of 30,217 shi per mu are harvested!!!"
"Let me tell the people of the world that as long as they stay safe, obey the court's arrangements, and don't be fooled into making trouble, we will give potatoes to all of them in the coming year!!!"
"In this case, sir, do you think that after the summer harvest, there will still be people who will be bewitched and coerced by them?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a calm expression.
Yan Changqing shook his head slightly. If it were before the summer harvest, then the people would really be confused by the local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen.
Coerced.
But after the summer harvest, the people of the Ming Dynasty had only one thought in their minds, and that was how to get potato seeds that could yield thirty dan per mu?!
Oh, as long as they stay calm and obey the court's arrangements, and don't be fooled into making trouble, they can get potato seeds next year?!!
Okay, no problem, I promise that even if I starve to death, I won’t be tricked into making trouble!!!
Therefore, under such circumstances, those local officials, gentry, clans, landlords, and wealthy businessmen who want to confuse and coerce the people to gather people to cause trouble are just dreaming.
After all, at that time, potato seeds with a yield of three thousand dan were not more important than anything else in the world.
"Even if we lose it in the end, the worst we can do is fight the world again!!!"
"We could defeat the next Ming Dynasty even when we had nothing, let alone now!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's calm tone showed boundless domineering and confidence!!!
And he does have such domineering and self-confidence. After all, when it comes to the founding emperor, who has a lower starting point than him?!
The beginning is a bowl, the ending is a country, and for five thousand years, there is only one like him!!!
"What does Your Majesty plan to do with the more than 200,000 people imprisoned?!!"
Yan Changqing stopped worrying about Zhu Yuanzhang's fishing and law enforcement, and instead asked about the more than 200,000 people imprisoned.
After all, since Zhu Yuanzhang didn't kill those more than 200,000 people before, he probably wouldn't kill them now.
So Yan Changqing was a little curious about what Zhu Yuanzhang would do with the more than 200,000 people.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Yan Changqing and said:
"The more than 200,000 people did not violently stop or attack the officials who were inventorying, counting, and verifying the land and acres."
"I am just waving flags and fueling the flames for those officials who violently stop and attack the imperial court from inventorying, counting, and verifying land and acres. Although guilty, the crime will not lead to death.
"After Biao'er and the others plead for mercy, we will punish them and finally release them."
Yan Changqing understood instantly. To put it bluntly, he wanted the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes to be good people, so that the princes could gain more support from the people.
I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang really took great pains for the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Palm, Zhu Di and other princes.
