Chapter 395 Pure Land
The Hu Ben Camp was moving very fast, and Zhan Yunpeng really invested heavily and picked out fifty people.
These fifty people can be said to be the most of the blood of the Hu Ben Camp, and each of them can stand on the one side against ten. In the face of various emergencies, they can properly judge the most effective response method at any time.
Moreover, these fifty people were all generals, and each of them was a treasure from the Hu Ben Camp. The fifty people selected by Zhan Yunpeng could be said to have taken away half of the combat power of the Hu Ben Camp.
In Huben Camp, it’s not surprising that you can plan, and you can’t even enter Huben Camp if you can’t beat you. Being able to fight and using your brain is the most terrifying thing.
When the two armies fight against the battlefield, anyone can do this. If they are unexpectedly attacking them, this is technical work. These fifty people, whether they are individual soldiers or performing on the battlefield, can satisfy His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It is not an easy thing to satisfy Zhu Cilang.
Li Yan was so moved that he was about to speak, but Zhan Yunpeng had already seen through his thoughts: "Young Master Li, don't say it if you are polite. You are the military advisor of our Huben Camp and the brother of a big guy. If you dare to touch our sister-in-law, Li Zicheng will pay the price."
You will pay the price. Hu Ben Camp is so simple and so rude. If you don’t believe it, let’s take a look.
Zhu Cixuan was going to the imperial village, and he wanted to see how the new crops and grains in the imperial village were like. Liu Laifu, the bastard, had not returned to the palace to report his work for several months. If this guy didn't come, he had to go there himself.
The imperial village is actually a disadvantage. The imperial village is a unique phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty. It originated from Emperor Yongle. A large number of imperial villages appeared during the Xianzong and Wuzong periods. According to relevant records, during the Wuzong period of the Ming Dynasty, the land of the imperial village had reached 37,595 hectares and forty-six acres.
A large number of imperial villages appeared, and officials in the court, royal princes, etc. also occupied the land one after another, mainly in the form of royal villages, which brought great social harm.
The main reason for land annexation and a large number of farmers became tenants. Also, for those who are tycoons like Liu Laifu, they are responsible for managing the imperial village.
In the imperial village, there are other management personnel such as flag schools, village heads, family members and companions. Flag schools refer to armed violent personnel who manage the imperial village within the imperial village. The village heads are generally accomplices of eunuchs, generally composed of unemployed peasants or cunning landlords. Family members refer to people who manage internal affairs of the imperial village. Companions generally refer to slaves or servants.
The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty have always been domineering and interfering in the government affairs. They are known to everyone. The management method in the imperial village is that a group of people led by eunuchs manage the imperial village itself and are not managed by the Ministry of Revenue. Under such great power, these people collude with each other and collude with each other. They can be said to have done all kinds of evil, arbitrarily increase taxes, accumulate finances, arrest farmers, trample on women, and kill lives.
Fortunately, with the fall of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were no longer the same as before, and the character of the people who managed the imperial village determines the quality of the imperial village.
I dare not say anything else, although Liu Laifu and Sun Wangcai are a bit lazy, their character is still reliable.
At least, Liu Laifu doesn't know how to eat the people. Zhu Cilang is very sure of this.
The imperial village must be cancelled or reduced in the future. But it cannot be done now. The imperial village is still useful now. Whether crops can eventually become popular depends on the ability of the imperial village.
Forced popularization of crops among the people may have a counterproductive effect. The sorghum, millet and sorghum that the people rely on forcing them to plant some corn and peanuts that they have never seen before, and they may not agree.
Only by popularizing the imperial villages first and giving the imperial villages a great harvest, the people will automatically plant new crops without deliberately promoting them.
In Dongcheng, there is more than 7,000 glutinous land in the imperial village. Zhu Cilang passed by several tenant villages, and the people in the village were busy with autumn harvest. He inquired along the way and found no acts of oppressing tenant villagers, which made Zhu Cilang feel relieved.
Several people galloped along the official road, following the official road, with green trees and wild flowers blooming in shady trees, lush grass, birds and butterflies dancing. Between the green mountains and clear waters, a village with curling smoke suddenly came into view.
"Your Highness, there is Huajiazhuang in front." Meng Fanchao said to Zhu Cixuan in front with the map in his hand.
Zhu Cilang turned over and dismounted and threw the reins to the servants beside him: "Meng Fan Chaowangcai, please follow me to see. The rest of them wait and wait on the spot."
If you want to go deep into the people and understand the sufferings of the people, you must go through private visits to truly understand the people's feelings.
In view of the previous assassination, there were many guards around Zhu Cixuan. They stayed on the official road to wait in place. Zhu Cixuan only brought secret guard Meng Fanchao and the dog-legged Wangcai beside him, and the three of them entered the front village together.
Huajiazhuang has beautiful mountains and rivers, and is used to the storm in troubled times. This place is more like a paradise. Because it is located in a remote place, there has not been any war. Because it is leaning against the mountains and rivers, it has not been ravaged by droughts.
In short, the village looks peaceful and peaceful. Chicken crows and dogs bark, and smoke from cooking cooks is curling. Some villagers holding buffaloes and straw hats pass by leisurely on the street. There are naughty boys holding kites playing in the fields, and some girls carrying bamboo baskets singing mountain songs and picking tea.
Zhu Cilang was very envious of this small village in a peaceful corner. It looks so harmonious and peaceful.
Zhu Cilang sincerely exclaimed: "If all the people of the Ming Dynasty were like this, why worry about the prosperity of the world?"
"Yes, Your Highness, it's really a good place." Wangcai looked around. For him, he was not able to distinguish between good and bad scenery, but he felt that those who were surrounded by mountains and rivers should not have to worry about food and drink.
Meng Fanchao observed in detail: "The green mountains and clear waters are simple in style. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west and facing the mountains in the north, so it can protect against the cold wind. Look at the wild flowers all over the mountains, Huajiazhuang is really well-known. A good place, when the villain comes and cannot serve His Highness, I really want to come here to support my old age."
Zhu Cixuan was stunned: "Do you think this place is suitable for retirement?"
Meng Fanchao smiled embarrassedly: "The villain just said so casually, but he has to serve His Highness for the rest of his life."
Wangcai immediately expressed his loyalty: "I will follow His Highness for the rest of my life and will never go anywhere."
"I think this place is indeed suitable for retirement. When I get old, I will come here to retirement when I get old."
The autumn wind brings joy, and the sky is vast and the tea pickers on the mountain laugh and scold, and sing. They sing some mountain folk songs, but Zhu Cilang listens to them for the first time.
"Silly Junjiao, my brother, I will pinch us with a piece of yellow mud, pinch one you, pinch one me, pinch one I, pinch one I will pinch, pinch one I will rest on the same bed. Break the clay man and rub it with water. Pinch one you and pinch one me. My brother also has a sister on his body, and my sister also has a brother on his body..."
