Chapter 312 Recruiting refugees
This is life. No one knows where your opponent will cut the butcher knife from.
The relationship between Huai'an is very complicated, and it can be said to be intricate and complicated. Zhu Zhen arrived for the first time. If he knocked all the stick to death, then all he could get was an empty shell of Huai'an, which even attracted continuous resistance and finally left in a mess.
The wealthy businessmen and wealthy families were actually somewhat prepared. The salt farms, business and farms at home were prepared by dead soldiers and swordsmen, and the families also agreed to not cooperate or make trouble. However, if Zhu Zhen dared to be tough, everyone would unite and have a good fight with Zhu Zhen.
Although Zhu Zhen’s reputation in Hengyang was very famous, it was because he borrowed the power of Zhu Yuanzhang’s army among the army.
He really wanted to fight with local snakes in Huai'an, and the powerful people in these places were actually a little confident.
But no one expected that Zhu Zhen would disappear inexplicably when he arrived in Huai'an. When he returned to Shanyang, the first political destiny he issued was actually related to refugees.
Of course, something happened in this that made the whole of Huaian feel scared, that was, overnight, streets and alleys, ordinary strange roads, and notices were posted overnight.
The wealthy family, who claimed to be well-informed, received no news at all.
The content of the notice also makes people feel incredible. Pingzhang, a province in Huai'an, was robbed by refugees, did not respond in any anger, but seemed to be showing weakness.
The innocent words written in the document can be given preferential treatment from the government as long as you walk out of the mountains and forests. All of your previous bad deeds and sins can be written off.
Zhu Zhen is not the first person to want to do this, and Zhang Chen also wanted to do this before.
Because as long as these refugees have household registration, they will be taxed and labored.
But he did not have this prestige, and the refugees lacked a sense of trust that was cultivated in any person in the Zhang Shicheng regime.
The dignified Earl of the Song Empire, Ping Zhang, Huai'an Province, personally issued an order to appease refugees, which somewhat felt like a cannon and blowing mosquitoes, which seemed completely contrary to the mainstream ideas of this era.
The scholars felt it was incredible, and the salt merchants could not understand it.
But when they saw the slaves at home, they were all absent-minded and began to sneak away, everyone began to be afraid.
This is called cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
The reason why everyone can be called a wealthy family is that there are countless adopted sons of children and servants in the family. Once these people leave, they are called Zhu Zhen’s people and households. Who will they oppress? What will they rely on to support their family business and how will they compete with the government for power?
Of course, they can temporarily use their years of power to suppress the slaves in their homes, or use servants to control them, but they cannot control the bandits and refugees in the mountains, wild grass and sieges.
Even if you do not lose your strength, it is enough for those rich people to feel fear.
Because their own people were panic, Pingzhang from Huai'an began to accumulate strength. Once they had enough population and labor, their situation would become more and more dangerous.
There are various rumors about Pingzhang, Huai'an Province, beginning to appear in the world. Most of them are nothing more than that. Zhu Zhen did not have that great strength to support so many people, or Junshan was trying to trick people out and was breaking contracts and bullying these refugees in the future.
Although this has some effect, the effect is not very good, because Zhu Zhen’s previous actions in Junshan have long been spread throughout Southern China, so when he said so in Huai'an, everyone tended to believe it.
In desperate situations, those helpless and fragile ordinary people hope to get help from others deep down.
Huai'an is no longer as forgiving as before. Although the muscles that Zhu Zhen showed intentionally or unintentionally did not completely shock the local opposition, officials did not dare to openly fight against Zhu Zhen.
When Zhu Zhen began to clean up officials, the enthusiasm for officials who were already a little lazy to do things instantly began to rise. Those who were doing business were promoted and those who were lazy were in danger. Everyone was smart, and their butt could determine their minds at any time.
Although those wealthy families are powerful, they cannot appoint their official positions after all.
When they are in the official position, they may be able to protect their families. If they are not even officials, wouldn’t they become meat on other people’s chopping boards?
Therefore, as long as Zhu Zhen takes the carrots and sticks, he can invisibly bribe some people and disintegrate the local forces.
The documents that sued the government for losses due to bandits robbery were burned by Zhu Zhen, and the officials' intelligence that the Jinyiwei had worked hard to collect was burned.
Seeing his hard work in vain, Jinyiwei Qianhu was very confused. Of course, it was more of the worried officials who breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone has lost their past, and their contributions or stains have disappeared. Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang hopes to use his other attributes to control his subordinates, which is the most despicable method, and Zhu Zhen does not need it at all.
Burning that thing is a lawless matter, but everyone is very clever and keeping silent. Who can make the newly reorganized Jinyiwei's North and South Town Fushi Department bow down and speak?
That's all, Mr. Wang.
The Jinyiwei Qianhu was very uncomfortable with standing in the lobby and talking to people. They were used to staring at everyone in the past with their sinister eyes, and even the private words of big men and concubines were all documents they recorded in the archives. They liked this kind of thing that secretly obtained fragments of people's lives.
When those people do anything that harms the government or even have evil deeds in the past, they find clues, they will immediately become the achievements of the Jinyiwei.
But it will definitely not be used in the future, because they know that their biggest function is to help distribute flyers and post documents this time, and if you want to do anything else, you will be interfering in your affairs.
"You Jinyiwei, you don't have to come out in the future.
Since the Duke of the State has given me Huaian with peace of mind, you can watch it secretly behind your back, but if you dare to say something nonsense and do something out of place, your uncle has chopped you down, don’t point at your commander to clean up for you.”
Qianhu really wanted to curse, but he didn't dare.
Before leaving, the commander's instructions still echoed in his ears, annoying the lord, but they would never have any good fruits to eat.
Of course, the commander Zhu Zhen, who had to live in Shanyang City, was stationed in the city and outside the city, and was full of elite soldiers. Chang Yuchun knew his shame and then braved him. Almost every one of them trained those soldiers to death. The momentum of the army became more and more vast, making people unable to help but be afraid.
What's more, dark artillery began to be transported from Junshan, which was a terrifying killing weapon that made people nightmares.
Every other hour, patrol soldiers would start to inspect Shanyang City. Zhu Zhen knew that his knife to remove firewood from the cauldron would likely cause revenge from local powerful people. He did not make a joke about Pingzhang in Huai'an Province being hacked to death in Pingzhang Mansion.
And the strong pressure shown by Zhu Zhen and the policy of removing fire from the bottom of the pot are actually for one purpose.
That is to force the enemy hidden in the dark to the open.
People hiding in dark corners and shooting cold arrows are difficult to deal with, but the enemies standing in front of them can easily be destroyed humanely.
The government orders were issued from Shanyang City, and the officials in Huai'an launched their full strength. Many officials sat in sedan chairs and rode their horses to the mountains and forests, persuaded refugees in the wilderness, seized the current opportunity, and quickly became naturalized for the people and included in the yellow book.
At that time, the court will build fish scale books for them and allocate land.
The man in Xuyi County is ready to waive Huai'an for three years of money and food, and will not pay taxes for three years, and can ensure the safety of the local area. It is a pity that everyone will not seize the opportunity to feed grasshoppers in the mountains and forests.
The bald leader who was easily taken down was also released. If he took him back, it was very different from what the government said. It was not so easy to join the private household.
We must do a whole year of hard work, and the government manages food. After the year is over, we will distribute it to the land. If we want to do the work, we will pay wages and treat it the same as those good people.
Ru Taisu laughed loudly after hearing this. He ran away many times in person. He shouted loudly, telling the refugees that as long as they walked out of the forest, they could get their household registration. The result was very unsatisfactory.
Except for the horse being stolen and the clothes being stolen, there is no effect at all.
Zhu Zhen said that if someone believes this, it would be a big strange thing. Zhu Zhen's explanation made Ru Taisu very uncomfortable.
People in the world always believe that they are suffering when they come to the world. Those officials riding horses and sitting in sedan chairs are talking nonsense. Where can there be wolves who don’t eat meat?
Where can there be a dog that doesn’t eat shit?
Who would believe the kindness without reason?
Only by thinking about the government’s notice to the worst, and then lowering it to a higher level can you believe it.
This is not true, Li Jin brought back the most accurate news, "I'm fined for a year, what kind of hard work?"
It was just digging soil and picking bricks and smashing stones on the construction site. There was no one in the government to use it. This forced everyone to have a way out. Everything suddenly became clear. Since they needed people, they would not do too much. Do a hard work for a year, just do a hard work for a year. I heard that I was in charge of food, so why don’t I make a living?
The heat in the big lake is getting more and more. We always grab territory endlessly and die. Forget it, we should leave the mountains and forests and accept the government's exploitation. At least Zhu Zhen will not be too much than the previous officials.
Xuyi County Bo’s reputation is still very reliable.
Under Ru Tai's puzzled eyes, a large number of refugees began to walk out of the mountains and rivers. When they saw the officials in the government, they asked whether they were responsible for hard work or not.
Ru Taisu told them that they didn’t need to do hard work, and they could divide the land by just going to the government to report. The kind words still couldn’t make them believe it. A white-haired old man kept bowing and said, “Good, master, we will ask for a bowl of peaceful food. Don’t lie to us, just tell me where to work and eat.”
Ru Taisu once again explained the attitude of the government and swore that he was not deceiving. He had brought out his ancestors and still could not gain trust. He was greeted with his contempt eyes.
