The Shen family worked hard for decades and was deposed by Zhu Yuanzhang in one move.

The process was very cruel. The whole clan directly distributed his family, his property was confiscated, and the land was taken over to Yingtian Prefecture. Zhu Yuanzhang became rich directly. Countless gold, silver and treasures became weapons, military rations, and the army expanded successively. Among the surrounding princes, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength rose by several steps.

Originally, there were only a few thousand acres of farmland under Shen Wansan's name, but Yang Xian worked tirelessly to dig out all the hidden land of Chen Wansan, and then Zhu Yuanzhang had more than 100,000 acres of farmland on hand.

Zhu Zhen suddenly had a vague guess about why Zhu Yuanzhang did this, but the specific details still need to be developed later.

But the development of things in the future seemed to exceed Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations because it was out of control.

That was in his territory, a great escape broke out in the merchants.

Since the Song Dynasty, the dynasty did not restrict economic development and had frequent overseas trade. The country's tax revenue was mostly derived from business, and the status of merchants began to gradually rise.

During the Yuan Dynasty, due to the huge empire, the exchanges with the outside world were still frequent. In addition, the Yuan Dynasty did not understand the feudal dynasty very well, and the control of the country was much relaxed, and the status of merchants rose to a higher level.

A poet wrote down the eleven sentences, with carriages and horses like smoke and clouds praising the prosperity of the city's business.

Many international friends, such as Marco Polo, were blinded by the prosperous business of the Yuan Dynasty. Damn, you are so prosperous in the east, and we are all beggars in the west!

You east is a country full of gold, and your beggars are richer than us.

Your businessmen live happier than our nobles.

By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, merchants became more and more active. Taking advantage of the opportunity of war, they made great money in war, hoarded goods, and sold military funds.

Chen Wansan is just an outstanding representative among thousands of business travelers.

However, the incident of Chen Wansan's house being confiscated had a very strong impact on the merchants.

Because he is too prominent, Chen Wansan is relatively honest compared to other businessmen, and he has almost no bad record. The honest businessman said he was killed and he was killed. Other businessmen with unclean butts felt even more dangerous.

Many people who left their families and started to flee, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would be unhappy one day and would destroy them.

We can't afford to offend, but we can afford to hide.

Zhu Yuanzhang's neighbor Zhang Shicheng opened the door with kindness and righteousness. Countless businessmen flocked into Zhang Shicheng's arms. Then the merchants spent countless money to hire scholars and scolded Zhu Yuanzhang for his cruelty.

This is not the cruelest thing. The cruelest thing is that after the merchants left, the market in Yingtianfu was in slump, and many daily necessities were not available at all, which directly affected the lives of the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang also realized his problem and personally summoned the remaining merchants in Yingtian, comforted him, and promised that as long as everyone operated with peace of mind, did not commit crimes, or did evil things like hoarding, Pingzhang Mansion would not treat them unfairly.

Looking at the Yingtian Market that was suddenly depressed, Zhu Zhen stood silently, not knowing whether it was sad or gladness.

He suddenly realized that traveling to the early Ming Dynasty was not a simple task, because no matter what he did, it seemed to have high risks.

But Zhu Zhen had to remember at any time that this was the last feudal dynasty of the Han people and the last opportunity to save the fate of China. It's just my fault?

It’s better to be a real person, wander around, open a small workshop, earn some money, care about the girls and Luo Li, face the Qinhuai River, and the willows are rosy.

………

With Zhu Yuanzhang's dots, the princes around him were all ready to watch Zhu Yuanzhang's jokes.

Zhu Yuanzhang's move was so bad that he offended all the merchants at once. Who would still help you to activate your economy in your territory?

Nowadays, merchants and landlords are inseparable from each other. Often, a big businessman has a background as a big landlord. Don’t think that a big businessman is just doing a good job in business. There must be countless fertile land in his family.

If these people oppose you, what else can you do in this life?

Even Zhang Shicheng spoke in person that Zhu Yuanzhang confiscated Chen Wansan's home and would be destroyed without other princes attacking him.

Chen Wansan broke his family, and the tenants were talking about the ownership of more than 200,000 acres of farmland that originally belonged to Chen Wansan around Yingtian Mansion, and the tenants were talking about it, making people feel at ease.

However, even Zhu Zhen believed that so much farmland would be used as official land to reward soldiers who had made contributions.

Some soldiers even started to move, hoping to get a share of the pie. The land around Yingtian Mansion is not the land in ordinary places. It is easy to irrigate and mature land. It is most suitable to open it into a farm to exploit the people.

However, after all, it was more than 100,000 acres of farmland, and countless greedy people were paying attention to every move. Some officers and officials secretly guided this farmland, which was heard by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang always had a hot temper. It was fine if he didn't spend money to bribe officials. Those who spent money would definitely be able to beat him. As for those who received money, he would lose his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very good at doing things. He killed people directly, filled them with grass, and hung them in the government office to shock the world.

Everyone was very confused. After Chen Wansan confiscated his house, he did not reward the farmland. Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to keep his own farming?

Then this master is too crooked. If you have money, you can make money together. Is it a good idea?

Things are always unexpected. In May, Yingtian Prefecture issued a new government decree.

In order to celebrate Zhu Yuanzhang's title of Duke of Wu, Duke of Wu ordered the land to be distributed locally to the tenants to which the land belongs.

Fight against the local tyrants and divide the land.

Zhu Zhen was not surprised because Zhu Yuanzhang was born into a poor citizen and knew what the people needed the most. But he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would dare to do this at this time.

He also sincerely admired Zhu Yuanzhang. Although this man was detained, he treated the people well.

Yingtian Prefecture sent more than a dozen minor officials to reward the land to the people, and then returned to Yingtian.

Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation among the people was so terrible. Although he offended some businessmen, he became a saint in the people's mouths.

Those who were still preparing to watch Zhu Yuanzhang joke were stunned.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the promulgation of the business laws and established the Five Cities Military and Horses Division, not only collecting only 31 commercial taxes, but also providing joint protection to merchants.

For a moment, the world was in an uproar, but everyone was still worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's territory. I wonder if Zhu Yuanzhang was reliable and would go back and slaughter everyone.

Although Zhu Zhen has been at home for a long time, he has been paying close attention to major events outside.

He had his own opinions on Zhu Yuanzhang's handling of Chen Wansan.

Distributing more than 100,000 acres of land to the people is a disguised regulation of means of production and let the people have more way to survive, so that more people are willing to support Zhu Yuanzhang, and at least they have more support from the people in terms of political influence, regardless of whether it is good or bad.

However, Zhu Zhen shook his head for his business tax collection of 30 taxes, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was really a bad idea to do economics.
