Chapter 146 This pancake is not only delicious, but also full!

Zhu Huan, who was sitting there in a daze, really felt that he was not well at this moment.

He didn't want to understand why he stayed at home properly, but suddenly such a big pot hit him directly on the head.

Now the position of city lord, he has to accept it, or not.

But after taking over, he couldn't just let it go.

If he can't even run such a city well, his title of incompetence probably won't be erased in his lifetime.

At that time, in the eyes of his father, he will be no different from a trash...

The key is that after the operation is completed, he doesn't seem to have any benefits.

If there is any benefit, it is probably that he can show his ability in front of his father...

But what is the practical effect of this benefit?

Could it be that he is still more favored than his elder brother?

"Sir, I have really suffered an indiscriminate disaster. Tell me, what exactly do you want from me!"

After Zhu Huan thought about his situation at this time, he realized that he had really suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck before he had to deal with such a thing.

But now, the only thing Zhu Wei can do is to hear what Chu Ze wants to do.

In other words, he found that he had nowhere to go.

"Actually, this matter is still very simple to say. The Hengyang City where you are located is just an experimental site. How about we go straight to the topic?"

"Let's go straight to the topic."

Seeing that Zhu Wei had accepted the fact that he had nowhere to go, Chu Ze asked his followers to deliver a booklet.

Then he gently pushed it in front of Zhu Wei.

"This is something I asked your elder brother to help me collect. Hengyang City is a tactical town. During wartime, it was the last barrier between Jinling City and the south."

"As a tactical town, Hengyang City has a population of about 13 people. With the land area of ​​Hengyang City, it should be very easy to support these 13 people."

"However, just last year in Hengyang City, the number of beggars known was nearly 200. Although this number is very small compared to the huge population of Hengyang City."

"However, in this year of founding and prosperity, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened."

"Excluding beggars, there were 32 people who starved to death in Hengyang City last year, and these are only recorded."

"This is at the foot of the imperial city, so that's it."

"As the guard city before the imperial city, Hengyang City's business is very developed, but as far as I know, the total owners of the main street shops in Hengyang City are less than 20 people. These twenty people actually occupy a Most of the prosperous shops in the city.”

"In addition, land and tax issues are also here. Obviously Hengyang City has land that can easily support 13 people. However, Hengyang City's tax revenue has always been on the verge of deficit. Such a guarded city, Still at the feet of the emperor, not only are they arguing that they can’t pay taxes, but the people are starving to death.”

"The problem in this can be said to be the problem of the whole world. The rich and powerful people sing every night, and in the prosperous age, they are still routed to death. King Zhou, don't you think these things should be solved?"

"Everything in the world is equal in the face of life and death. I don't ask everyone to live in this world fairly, but at least, let everyone 'live' in this world fairly. Their death should not be brought on by hunger, sickness, and other people."

"You may not be aware of my situation now. I am in a state of confinement, and it is basically impossible to leave Yingtian Mansion. Therefore, I can only let you help me realize this idea of ​​mine."

"I asked your fourth brother before, and he said that you are a pure-hearted person, and you were born not to see the sufferings of the people. That's why I chose to recommend you to the prince to preside over this matter."

"I know it's difficult to realize my idea, but I believe that you have the ability!"

"After all, I believe that with great power comes great responsibility. And now you clearly have the power, and you also have the opportunity to save the people from the fire and water. So I also hope that you can take on this responsibility."

Chu Ze's voice was very friendly, but at this moment, it sounded like Zhu Lu had magical powers in his voice.

As he was talking, Zhu Wei felt an inexplicable sense of heaviness.

Of course, with it, there is also a sense of pride in being recognized.

He has the power to save all peoples from fire and water.
With great power comes great responsibility!
The reason why he has to take on this responsibility now is simply because he has the ability to take on this responsibility.

For some reason, when Zhu Xi took the brochure that Chu Ze pushed over, his hands trembled slightly.

It's hard to tell whether it's excitement or worry.

But these seem to be unimportant at this moment.

Zhu Wei picked up the pamphlet that Chu Ze pushed over, and carefully read it.

He had never realized that he could read a book so seriously, and he had to compare every word and sentence repeatedly, for fear of missing something.

After he finished reading the pamphlet in his hand, he bit his jaw, and Zhu Xi seemed to have made up his mind.

"Sir, please teach me! Since Zhu Wei is a child of the royal family, he should naturally take on the responsibilities that the heirs of the royal family should have. I may not be good at governing one side, but if Mr. Zhu rectifies a city and rules the world, I think I still have this ability , I hope you can teach me!"

Chu Ze looked at Zhu Wei, who had a faint light in his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"King Zhou, I hope you can understand that what we are doing now is an attempt. So some things, there is no reason, just because we want to try, but now 10,000+ people fall into our hands, once we The wrong decision-making, maybe these 10,000+ people will suffer.”

"So, before that, we need to have a detailed plan. For example, do we want to keep the big or the small?"

"There are more than 3000 people in a city, but there are less than [-] rich people. Therefore, in our future actions, should we guarantee these [-] people, or should we guarantee these more than [-] people. This question, King Zhou."

"Sir, there is no need to think about this matter! It must be to protect the more than [-] people! Three thousand and one hundred thousand, even a three-year-old child can know who is older and who is younger, right?"

"Okay, since we want to protect the population, then we don't need to care about the 3000 people. The land in Hengyang City is obviously enough to feed these more than [-] people, but some people will starve to death. Years without disasters and harm, but hand over No tax."

"I think there must be a problem with the distribution of land. Some people privately embezzled a large amount of land, resulting in the failure to pay taxes in time. The people have no land to plant and no rice to harvest."

"So, I think we can try to disrupt the distribution of land. Collect all the land and put it under the name of the government. From now on, these lands will no longer belong to anyone, but will all belong to the government."

"Then redistribute the land to the people. We no longer divide the ownership of the land to them, but lease it to them in the form of lease. What is handed over every year is no longer taxes, but rent."

"And the government directly prohibits anyone from selling land privately. All the land belongs to the government, and the common people only have the right to plant it, but not the right to sell or rent it out."

"There's something wrong with that."

Zhu Xi, who was originally full of ambitions, felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead when he heard Chu Ze's first plan.

Zhu Huan, who was fooled by Chu Ze's words just now, said that his heart was extremely inflated and his self-esteem was full, now he only felt that his little heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Collecting all the land, and then bringing all the land under the name of the government, is tantamount to embezzling the property of the people, and... if you do this, in case someone sues his father.

It is said that he is using power for personal gain, but as a prince, he is corrupt and accepts bribes, the words of Yurou Township.

I'm afraid Zhu Huan will have nothing to say!
This land is absolutely no joke
"Sir, although we have temporarily taken over the city under the order of our father, it does not mean that we can cover the sky with our own hands! If we rashly take away all the land from the people, if this will arouse the people Change. None of us can bear this responsibility!"

Although Chu Ze said that he was a little emotional at the beginning, he felt like a hero who saved the world.

However, in Zhu Wei's view, taking responsibility depends on the situation.

You can't take all the responsibilities yourself, can you?

So, his heart was on fire just now, when he heard that Chu Ze was going to attack the land.

He was immediately cowardly.

This is not a responsibility, this is a pit, a bottomless sinkhole.

"King of Zhou, Qin had the reform of the Shang monarch, destroying the order of the moment, and forging the legend of the ages. He is only a scholar, but he has the heart to rule the country. Don't forget, you are a prince! What is wrong with your birth? ?”

"Besides, he is based on a country, but you are only based on a city. We took over Hengyang City for the purpose of an experiment, so there is a possibility of failure. What are we doing now? The purpose is to minimize the consequences of the failure of this experiment. That's why I chose Yicheng."

"Besides, when we collect the land, what we collect is the land in name. It is not the actual land. After the land is collected, it will still return to the hands of the people immediately."

"Will the people change? Although they have no land in name, in fact, they are still planting the land, and the food grown on the ground is still theirs. And the change of people is to punish the nine clans."

"If it provokes a civil uprising, it can only show that we have touched the interests of some people. These people are fanning the flames and do not want our experiment to succeed. Because once we succeed, they will lose a lot of benefits!"

"Who are these people? Naturally, they are capable but also have ideas. They want to occupy the land of the people and fish into the village. Such people, do we and other righteous people need to be afraid of them?"

"Don't forget, while you are the lord of the city, you are still a prince, the prince of a country, but you want to bow your head to the villain? Isn't this a shame?"

"."

Although Chu Ze's words moved Zhu Wei's heart slightly again.

However, he was still a little worried after all.

After all, he is not a reckless person who knows nothing and has never learned anything.

Having studied with Song Lian since he was a child, he naturally knows the importance of the land to the people, to the court, and to everyone.

Once you lose your land, you lose your roots.

rootless
So, he was still a little worried after all.

But when Chu Ze saw that the light was being fooled or not, he was moved with emotion, and after knowing it with reason, it was not very feasible.

His expression changed immediately, and he leaned into Zhu Lu's ear in a somewhat mysterious manner and said something.

"Just don't worry about this matter. Your elder brother and I have actually mentioned this matter long ago. When the time comes, your elder brother will settle the affairs of the court. Think about why the city lord must let you, the prince, come. when?"

"Arbitrarily arresting someone, you can throw it up. Just because the prince is in charge of this matter, even if anyone below has an opinion, he can't know how you, the prince!"

"What happened to us this time is supported by your elder brother, and behind your elder brother is your father."

"Your father wants to do this, but he needs a reasonable reason to shut everyone up, understand? We are here to create reasons for him now."

"So, your royal father will definitely support you with all his strength. This time, you have your royal father's backing, are you afraid of asking for help? This is done, and from now on you will be a great hero in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty Yes. When the time comes, the temples and incense tablets will be arranged for you, so that you can be worshiped by the world and be honored as a saint."

"Even if we fail, at most this thing never happened. Although you seem to be a different person inside and outside this time, in fact, you are making a solid profit!"

"really?"

"Nonsense, I lied to you, what good am I doing? I'm also one of the participants, but because I don't have enough status, I can only be the driving force behind it."

"Okay! Then let's do it like this! I listen to my husband, and I hope my husband will help me!"

After Chu Ze's words put away his biggest worry, Zhu Sui regained his energy again.

At the same time, the eyes became a little excited.

As for the big pancakes that Chu Ze drew for him just now, they not only smell good, but also feel full after eating.

Thinking of the future that Chu Ze described to him, Zhu Xi was in a state of disorientation at this moment.

And Chu Ze looked at the energetic Zhu Xi, and he didn't forget to add some spices to his pancake.

"After the land is settled, your fourth brother and sixth brother will also join in. They will build factories in Hengyang City, and then open shops and the like."

"At that time, with your fourth brother and your sixth brother helping you, do you have anything to be afraid of?"
