The fall of Kaifeng sounded the death knell of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The long fourteen years of Chongzhen have passed, but the new fifteen years of Chongzhen have shown no sign of improvement.

If the 14th year of Chongzhen was the 14th floor of hell, then the 15th year of Chongzhen was the 15th floor of hell.

The fewer bandits on the Ming Dynasty territory, but there were countless more bandits, bandits, horse thieves, and robbers...

What is most disappointing is that there has been a trend of local officials spontaneously greeting and surrendering to Li Hongji on the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This trend has also benefited Zhang Bingzhong, which has allowed Ainengqi and Yang Wenxiu to enter Jiangxi in a very short time.

Li Hongji sent an envoy to Yun Zhao's kindness to belong to Luoyang City. Because the person who came was an unknown man, Yun Zhao thought that this was a clear proof that Li Hongji looked down on him, so he killed the envoy.

Yun Zhao's name of killing envoys has spread all over the world.

Therefore, no one told Yun Zhao that "the two armies will come to war without killing them."

Killing the envoy is equivalent to telling Li Hongji that there is no discussion on the issue of Luoyang.

Niu Jinxing used the incident of Yun Zhao killing the envoy, and it was also speculated that Yun Zhao was extremely dissatisfied with Li Hongji at this time.

If Luoyang is not protected, can Kaifeng be protected? Can Henan be protected?

So, Li Hongji decisively gave up his plan to attack Yingtian Mansion and turned his finger to Liu Zeqing.

After Liu Zeqing heard about Chen Yongfu and Ding Qirui's death in Heze Mansion, he was so scared that he hurriedly joined forces with the newly rising general Huang Degong, preparing to stop Li Hongji's army from entering Shandong.

Yun Zhao wrote a letter saying that there were no bandits in Luoyang and that the court could send officials to govern. The court was very silent. Just when Yun Zhao lost his patience, the court appointed Zhu Cunji, who was deposed as the deposed prince, and ordered him to temporarily serve as the prefect of Luoyang.

When Zhu Cunji received this order, he was so scared that he found Yun Zhao overnight, trying to commit suicide to show his ambitions.

"Emperor, I'm killing me..." Zhu Cunji cried extremely miserably.

"fine."

Yun Zhao's answer was calm and gentle.

Fortunately, Zhu Cunji knew that Yun Zhao was not a person who liked to speak sarcastically, so he felt relieved.

In front of Zhu Cunji, Yun Zhao found the head of the Secretary-General and the Government Affairs Department and ordered them to prepare a powerful working group for Zhu Cunji to enter Luoyang, with Zhu Cunji's opinions as the main focus.

At the same time, Yun Shu, the deputy general of Yunyang, led 10,000 troops to Luoyang.

Therefore, the boundary marker of Lantian County appeared in the east of Luoyang for the first time.

Zhu Cunji, the new Luoyang prefect, entered Luoyang City quickly and announced that Luoyang was under Lantian.

The news just spread, and all the thieves in Luoyang were packing up their legs and fleeing overnight.

Unfortunately, they still got the news late.

Before Zhu Cunji arrived in Luoyang, the black-clothed people, the secret spy department and the supervisory department of Lantian County had already locked in them. After Zhu Cunji announced the ownership of Luoyang, these big and small bandits were arrested one after another.

Under careful arrangements, no one escaped.

Outside Luoyang City, there are weeds, white bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing thousands of miles away.

These bandits who were captured alive had to wear chains to clean up Luoyang City and the surrounding bones. In this process, they could only feed on groups of wild dogs around Luoyang.

In February, spring is about to sow, and the land of Luoyang is filled with black smoke, and farmers burning wasteland are everywhere.

Luoyang has finally settled and can grow food.

Perhaps God is pitying the people here. Before the apricot blossoms bloom, a spring rain fell on this barren land. In the evening, the light rain turned into heavy snow.

The snowflakes melted when they fell on the land. As the snow became heavier and heavier, the blizzard covered all the sadness in Luoyang.

In Luoyang, which has long been sparsely populated, somehow many people have emerged from all directions, especially Mangshan. There are more than 100,000 people walking out of this mountain.

Zhu Cunji looked at the crowds outside the city and asked Yang Xiong, the chief of Luoyang’s village: “Can’t it be a bandit?”

Yang Xiong, who had just run back from Hanzhong to preside over the overall situation in Luoyang, said: "It's just a refugee."

"What should I do?"

Yang Xiong smiled and said, "I was prepared for it, opened the city gate and let them in. It was cold, so they always wanted to find a warm place to spend the night."

"What if they are restless?"

“With food, we will settle down.”

"Oh, I brought a lot of food."

"Lend it to the people!"

"borrow?"

"Yes, lend it to them and pay it back in three years."

"What did they pay it back?"

“We will divide the land for them to cultivate.”

"Oh, but, they have nothing, what farming do they take?"

"The farm tools are being transported over, and the oxen, mules and horses are also being delivered."

"These things are also loaned to the people?"

"No, it's renting! Each hundred households of refugees will be rented into one mile, and the farm tools, livestock, seeds, money and grain will be rented to the village chief, and the village chief will distribute them uniformly, leading the 100 households to cultivate the land.

A certain interest is paid every year until their labor income exceeds the value of these things, and these things will belong to the people of these hundred households. In the end, they will convert the oxen and farm tools to the people according to the labor output of each household.

Don't worry, it will be restored to life in less than three years."

Zhu Cunji finally experienced a land reform in Lantian County in full, because, from now on, except for some people who have not left Luoyang to guard his own land, the rest of the land has become the land of Lantian County.

After Lantian County obtains these lands, it will allocate land according to the re-compiled list. No matter who owns the land here before, at this moment, almost all the land is decided by the government.

Families with insufficient land will be replenished. For those with excessive land, they either flee or be killed by bandits.

Therefore, every refugee who was assigned to the land regarded these lands as the lifeblood. At this time, even if a bandit came, they could sacrifice their lives to fight.

There was no reason to fight before.

Now, I have four acres of land!

The document was hard in his arms, and there were my handprints on it.

The land allocation was going very fast. The people drawn from Lantian were not only busy, but also those who borrowed from Mianchi were also busy day and night.

These people are very familiar with the distribution of land and are very rude in their work. When encountering disputes, they will mainly draw lots. Once they are not lucky, it will become eternal and there is no way to change it.

On the other hand, this is also a relatively fair move, which has resolved countless disputes.

When the first ox appeared in the field, the apricot blossoms finally bloomed.

The apricot blossoms bloom, and there are few scholars and ladies who are exploring spring with umbrellas on the roads in Luoyang, but countless businesses have come.

The prosperity of Lantian's business has reached a point where it cannot be expanded. This time, Luoyang has won the business, and these merchants are far more excited than Yun Zhao, the owner of Lantian.

However, Luoyang City was still empty at this time...

Although the shops and houses in the city were ruined by the bandits, even in the ruins, some merchants started to buy them with boxes of silver dollars. Not only the merchants in Lantian came, but even the salt merchants far away in Jiangnan were also focusing on Luoyang.

At some time, several kind-hearted old monks appeared in the dilapidated White Horse Temple. They happily packed up the deserted temple and delivered their certificates to the government with expectations, claiming that they were the fleeing White Horse Temple monks.

There are many Taoist temples and nuns in Luoyang, and each has escaped Taoist priests. When the nuns come back, they hope that Luoyang will become prosperous again so that the incense in their temples will become prosperous.

At the same time, Yushan Academy also sent people to investigate the Fuwang Mansion. They thought it was very suitable for a school... Even Mingyuelou also sent people to find a good place to open a new store.

In short, the government returns to the government, the army returns to the army, the academy returns to the academy, the monk returns to the monk, the Taoist priest returns to the Taoist priest...

In just one month, all the seeds have been planted in the land, the willows have sprouted, the people are busy in the fields, merchants are running around the city, and officials are even more busy working in several counties around Luoyang.

The first wisp of black smoke rising in Luoyang was from the brick and tile kiln.

A group of kiln workers with great vision and pioneering spirit ventured to build brick kilns near Luoyang before Luoyang City had been to Lantian County. Now, their adventure has been greatly rewarded.

No matter how many bricks and tiles they produce, they are not enough to fill the city's huge belly.

"I built more than a dozen small yards in Luoyang."

Qian Duoduo saw her husband close his eyes to rest, so he said a lot of nonsense and said this sentence in it.

"Ten or nineteen?"

"Okay, there are thirty-seven."

"Do you live, or me?"

"It is left to you to reward meritorious ministers in the future."

"They do not need rewards, the law clearly stipulates what kind of merits are rewarded."

"Even if the ministers don't need it, you always have times to win people's hearts. If some arrogant people don't want to be officials and you need them again, throwing them out of a yard will bring good results."

"The truly backbone people either die in battle or starve to death, and few people who live with backbone."

"What if there is?"

"That's also a guy who came to ask me to give him an official. Such a person is not worth buying. Be careful of Xie Zhi's subordinates, they are auditing everywhere in Luoyang. If they fall into their hands, there will be no good results."

Qian Duoduo sneered and said, "Every yard I bought is determined to be a masterpiece by the court. When Qian enters the Finance Department, the yard will become mine."

Since Lantian County became a system, the most cruel corruption case has occurred in Luoyang. For this reason, Luoyang's old hidden forces were almost killed by Hanlingshan, the pioneer.

Therefore, Yun Zhao was not worried about the fact that there would be any big trouble, because Han Lingshan went to Luoyang again.

After taking Luoyang, Yun Zhao can finally turn over and hope that day will come as soon as possible.
