I'm really not doing business

Chapter 850 Answering will lead to mistakes, escaping is not a shame
Zhu Yijun sat on the Wufeng Tower of Chengtian Gate, looking coldly at the criminals tied up on the execution platform. All of these people would be beheaded in public, and their families would be exiled to Java.

In Zhu Yijun's opinion, Hai Rui had been a morally upright person during his lifetime, and would be harmless after his death, because Hai Rui did not even have a son. Hai Zhongpeng, who inherited his estate, was at most an example of the court showing its grace and honor, indicating that the court had not treated him unfairly.

After Hai Rui's death, he will be erected as a moral archway, and everyone will admire him together during festivals and then do what they should do.

A simple man like Hai Rui, in the end, someone still threw dirty water on his head, and it was two buckets of dirty water in a row. Zhang Limin accused Hai Rui of three major offenses, and Yang Wei stirred up public opinion just to overturn the verdict. Therefore, these people were now put in the execution hall outside Chengtian Gate, and were publicly tried and beheaded as a warning to the public.

Wu Shilai and his followers were brought back from Liaodong by the emperor and beheaded in public.

According to Yang Wei's promise, once the water is thoroughly muddied, he will work hard on Wu Shilai's case and restore order. He will then conduct a comprehensive reversal of the cases of those who were dismissed from office and stripped of their honors during the 16 years that Hai Rui was the Chief Censor.

Zhu Yijun did a simple calculation and found that Hai Rui had investigated and punished more than 4 corrupt officials over the years.

Among them, there were more than 300 clerks, more than officials who were juren, and more than officials who were jinshi.

Even the four major cases, including the one involving Zhang Siwei, were within the scope of overturning the verdicts. Behind Yang Wei, there were not only the 272 criminals in front of him, but also many accomplices. These people would respond immediately after the wind rose. Among them were officials, merchants, etc. The imperial guards rode out of the capital on horseback and headed in all directions to arrest all the people.

272 people, including the ringleader of the case, will be executed immediately. The remaining nearly people, and their families of more than people, will be exiled to Southeast Asia to fill the population vacancies in Han towns.

This is already the fifth largest case.

"Sir, these people are bullying Hai Wenzhong because he has no successor. When Wan Zongbo passed away, no one dared to treat him like this, because after Wan Zongbo, Shen Zongbo inherited his will. Shen Zongbo would not sit idly by if someone bullied Wan Zongbo like this, but Hai Wenzhong has no successor." Zhu Yijun sat on the Wufeng Tower and told Zhang Juzheng his opinion.

Wan Shihe was a servile official, but after his death, no one dared to create public opinion to bring Wan Shihe down and discredit him, because the Ministry of Rites was full of Wan Shihe's disciples, and even Shen Li, a stubborn person, became like Wan Shihe.

However, Hai Rui himself was too upright and there was no one else to carry the banner of his integrity, so some people dared to stir up trouble.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng's mouth twitched, expressing his point of view. He finally understood why His Majesty insisted on taking Xiong Tingbi as his last disciple and putting him in his Quan Chu Guild Hall to live. This was a token of his loyalty.

This is what happens when there is no successor. Small families are wiped out, and large families are attacked and retaliated. They need children and political heirs.

Zhu Yijun sighed and continued, "In the past three thousand years, there has only been one official like Hai Wenzhong who dared to speak out and make suggestions. Bi Gan is the only one who has done so. It is really difficult to find a successor. Obviously, there is something wrong with his studies."

"I think this is a misalignment between the importance of the emperor and father and morality. What do you think, sir?"

Over the past three thousand years, the only person as pure as Hai Rui was Bi Gan in history books. After all, it was very bold for him to dare to point at the emperor and curse him.

People like Gao Cheng, who kept muttering "Dog-footed Emperor" all day and ordered his subordinates to punch the emperor three times, don't count. He is a traitor who usurped the throne, not a loyal minister.

Zhu Yijun's discussion of the misalignment between the importance of the emperor and father and morality actually has something to do with Confucianism.

For example, "The Analects of Confucius: Xianjin" says: The so-called minister serves the monarch with virtue, and stops when it is not possible.

That is to say, as a minister, you should serve the king with morality. If it doesn't work, you should stop, because the king doesn't allow it. If you continue, you will be overstepping your authority and will arouse the king's disgust, which will prevent the king from accepting correct opinions.

This trend of not being able to stop became increasingly serious during the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the Qing Dynasty, even a wrong word could not be mentioned. The knife of literary inquisition could kill both ordinary people and important officials.

For example, in Mencius, Wan Zhang says: If the ruler has made a mistake, you should advise him. If he still refuses to listen after repeated admonitions, then leave. If he really refuses to listen, then don’t advise him anymore and just leave.

This actually reflects the contradiction between the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers. When the ministers encounter an emperor who refuses to listen to advice, they can only passively evade and lack active correction. The ministers have no good way to limit the willfulness of the monarch.

In Xunzi, there is a completely opposite and even treasonous statement: follow the way, not the king; follow righteousness, not the father. The way and righteousness are above the king and the father, so Xunzi was later expelled from the Confucian community.

When Zhang Juzheng heard the emperor discussing this again, he immediately felt a headache. The three words "I have doubts" kept flashing in front of his eyes. He looked around and all the ministers looked at each other. Obviously, the ministers who had never faced His Majesty's iron hammer directly were somewhat unable to accept His Majesty's straightforward questioning.

The ministers realized that Yuanfu was not monopolizing the lecture! He was clearly shouldering the indescribable pressure for everyone!
Is it possible to discuss the question of which is more important, morality or loyalty to the emperor? Isn't it enough to just shout loyalty?

"Your Majesty, while you are supervising the execution, why don't you take a look at the case?" Zhang Juzheng thought about it and chose to take a look at the escape method described in the Emperor's Mirror Diagram.

This is the method given by Confucius and Mencius. Answering will lead to mistakes, but escaping is not a shame.

On this issue, Zhang Juzheng said that righteousness is more important, which means he is bullying the emperor by taking advantage of Wanli's great achievements in the Reform Movement; Zhang Juzheng said that the emperor and father are more important, which means he is lying with open eyes and committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.

After all, everyone knows that in Zhang Juzheng's heart, morality is more important, otherwise there would be no Wanli Reform.

"Sir, you are still the same." Zhu Yijun said with a smile. Zhang Juzheng has already reached the limit of a minister. To go further is not bold enough.

The case has been investigated thoroughly, and all the criminals have been taken to the execution ground. It's called a public trial, but in fact it's a sentencing and execution. Zhu Yijun is very clear that this is a suppression. These guys have committed the unforgivable crime of treason. There is no need for any criminal charges to suppress the rebellion. They will be beheaded once the names on the list are complete.

"Take it." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and two rows of eunuchs passed down the heavenly message layer by layer. The Ti cavalry under the Chengtian Gate shouted in unison, and the shouts shook the sky.

Hai Zhongshi stared blankly at the scene in front of him, until Li Dan's head was chopped off and rolled in front of Hai Zhongshi, Hai Zhongshi finally came to his senses. It seemed that he had been fooled and trapped, and this trap had been planned for a long time.

When did it start?

It all started from the day Li Dan and Hai Zhongshi were introduced to each other by a friend.

Before that, although Hai Zhongshi did not think that a good reputation was of any use, he had never denied Hai Rui's noble morals and was even proud of it, because wherever he went, others would look up to him because of his status as Hai Zhongshi's adopted son.

But after a while, someone kept telling him that everything had changed. He didn't know when it started, but he felt that his father had gone too far, too inhumane, too harsh, and too rigid.

We are all colleagues and we see each other every day. Why must it be done to this extent?

Looking back today, Hai Zhongshi suddenly realized that he was actually nothing. If it weren't for his father being Hai Rui, he would be on the execution ground right now! He would be the one losing his head!
To a large extent, Hai Zhongshi was also an accomplice. He always thought that he was fighting for the family property, but in fact he was involved in a huge political case. As Hai Rui's adopted son, he knew very well that political cases were not subject to any laws, and even family members would be implicated, and the execution of the entire clan was reasonable.

There were many political cases, for example, the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty were all political cases.

Hai Zhongshi felt that the Emperor on the Five Phoenix Tower glanced at him. He hoped it was an illusion and immediately hid in the crowd and left quietly.

In fact, after winning the family property lawsuit, he could still live under the name of Hai Rui's son, because Hai Rui's will did not ask him to change his name back to his own. Hai Rui's idea was to let him learn a lesson instead of letting him die without a burial place.

It was indeed an illusion. Zhu Yijun did not look at Hai Zhongshi. He was just making sure that the head had fallen to the ground and scanned all the execution grounds.

The Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun once again demonstrated his brutal side. This swift and large-scale beheading in public happened again, which made scholars throughout the Ming Dynasty deeply aware of how determined the Ming Emperor was in maintaining the achievements of the Wanli Reform.

The situation of the struggle has become very clear. If one wants to overthrow the Wanli New Deal, it is no use waiting for Zhang Juzheng to die. Only by killing the emperor who sits on the throne and holds power can one start a counterattack. Otherwise, it will be futile.

"In the next memorial, I will tell the Chief Censors of the Censorate, Lu Guangzu and Xin Zixiu, that they do not need to intensify their anti-corruption efforts just for this case, but they should make it common sense that they must fight against corruption and catch corrupt officials." Before Zhu Yijun left Chengtian Gate, he left an important instruction that the intensity of the anti-corruption efforts should remain the same as that of Hai Rui in the past, instead of being intensified.

After the case of Hai Rui's three major crimes broke out, governors from all over the country submitted memorials to express their loyalty and asked the emperor to step up anti-corruption efforts to demonstrate their determination.

Zhu Yijun did not agree, but maintained the original scope and intensity. He still handled some ambiguous cases with leniency and had no intention of doubling the execution.

The corruption cases that Hai Rui did not investigate represent that the benefits to the country far outweigh the harm.

The autumn wind was bleak, and the sixteenth year of Wanli gradually entered deep autumn. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty returned to the Wenhua Hall to deal with today's memorials.

After the imperial examination in February and the triumphant return from the capital in March of the 17th year of Wanli, the Ming Emperor would make another southern tour. This was his second southern tour after the 13th year of Wanli, and its main purpose was to determine the situation after the Southern Government was split into three provinces, as well as the effect of returning farmland to Zhejiang.

Regarding the emperor's southern tour, Yuan Fu and others expressed their concerns. The first one was the issue of regent. Should Prince Lu Zhu Yiliu be the regent, or should the eldest son Zhu Changzhi be the regent?

Prince Lu has grown up. Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Chen, and Prince Lu himself all have the same attitude: Prince Lu can no longer interfere with the power of regent.

The reason why Prince Lu made such a statement was very simple. Serving as regent once was a stopgap measure. Serving as regent twice would surely lead to people having thoughts that they shouldn't have, and Prince Lu would be drawn into a political whirlpool that he was not good at. In short, for the sake of his younger brother's life, he asked his elder brother to let his younger brother go.

Prince Lu wanted to accompany the emperor on the southern tour, but there was another problem: Zhu Changzhi was only seven years old and too young.

The court offered two solutions: postpone the southern tour for another three years in the 17th year of Wanli, and wait until the eldest son was older before the emperor left the capital. The subtext was that even if something unexpected happened to the emperor, the eldest son could still succeed to the throne;
Or there may be no regent, and miscellaneous affairs may be handled by the emperor on his southern tour.

The second method is undoubtedly to make the emperor suffer.

"Is there no better way?" Zhu Yijun looked at the memorials in front of him. The two solutions given by the cabinet were not solutions. Zhu Yijun didn't mind suffering a little, but he did not handle the memorials in a timely manner during his southern tour. Although many memorials were not big matters, they were time-sensitive. The longer they were delayed, the bigger the problem would be.

The Ming Dynasty had long been accustomed to the efficiency of not submitting memorials overnight. It would be difficult for officials to adapt to this situation, and the emperor's southern tour might do more harm than good.

"The only option is to let Prince Lu stay behind again, but doing so will cause endless troubles." Feng Bao gave another solution which was not a solution. Prince Lu would be the regent again, but this would involve a difficult problem to solve. If something happened to the emperor on his southern tour, who would succeed to the throne, Prince Lu or the eldest son Zhu Changzhi?

Could the farce that happened to Emperor Yingzong, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty happen again?
"Then let's put it off for now. I'll wait and see." Zhu Yijun weighed the three options and chose to put it aside.

In fact, letting Prince Lu be the regent and the emperor go on a southern tour is the most profitable plan, but it also has the greatest risk. Even Zhu Yijun was clearly aware of this, so he directly submitted a petition, expressing his desire to see the customs of the south of the Yangtze River. Zhu Yijun chose to wait until the army returned to the court before discussing the matter.

"Who are this Javanese Sunta Kingdom?" Zhu Yijun looked at a memorial submitted to the Ministry of Rites and found it a bit strange. The entire Java had been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and it was indeed strange that a Javanese Sunta Kingdom appeared at this time.

Feng Bao took out another memorial from the Ministry of Rites and said, "It was established by Lu Zili, the son of Lu Xiufu, the left prime minister in the late Southern Song Dynasty. In the ninth year of Yongle, he accompanied Zheng He's fleet to pay tribute. Later, official ships stopped sailing to the West, and Shunta Kingdom never came again, mainly because they were unable to build large ships to cross the ocean."

After the red-haired barbarians conquered the King of Malacca, they occupied the Strait of Malacca and built two castles to the east and west of Java. The Sunda Kingdom gradually retreated to the new village. The new village was the richest, but with the invasion of the red-haired barbarians, the new village had to be closed to prevent infiltration by the red-haired barbarians.

After the Ming Dynasty conquered the Malacca barbarians and recovered Java, Xincun had no idea what was happening outside.

The Ming Dynasty has conquered Java for many years, but the new villages are still unaware of the situation, which is actually very normal at the moment.

The place where Fangshan, Wanping and Laishui of Baoding Prefecture meet is called "Sanpo", which was called Yesanpo during the Qing Dynasty. This place is very close to Beijing, but the dozen or so villages in this place have been isolated from the outside world for many years. These dozen villages jointly elected three respected elders to manage the place. When one of them passed away, they would elect another to fill the position.

This went on for hundreds of years, and even after the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, no one in this place knew that the Qing Dynasty had been here, and they never shaved their heads or changed their clothes.

The same is true for the new village in Sunda Kingdom of Java. After the entrance to the mountain road was closed, it was impossible to find the new village without special effort. It was also by chance that the Ming Dynasty's stargazing ship discovered the new village.

The Ming Dynasty's star-gazing ship almost came into a fight with the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty. After discovering that they were all Han people, Xincun sent people to Yehai City to express their submission.

This Shunta Kingdom is the Javanese Shunta Kingdom established by Lu Zili.

"The Lu family of Shunta met with the Han town and asked the overseas Chinese to move to Yehai City. That's roughly what happened." Feng Bao briefly summarized the situation.

"Approved, but tell them clearly that they must strictly abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and not do anything evil." Zhu Yijun approved the memorial. The Southern Song survivors must live in a new village isolated from the outside world. They can continue to be the Southern Song survivors, but they must live in the Han Town of Yehai City, recognize their identity as Ming people, and abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

"Of course." Feng Bao said with his head down.

In fact, since the descendants of the Lu family made such a memorial, Xincun could no longer hold on. If it did not communicate with the outside world, it would probably follow the example of the Southern Song survivors in Governor-General Ji Fu's Mansion and quietly perish in the long river of history.

This was the second time Zhu Yijun heard the stories of the Southern Song survivors, the Jifu Governorate and the Sunda Kingdom in Java.

Lu Zili first fled to Luzon, but the Yuan court's army soon caught up to Luzon, and Lu Zili had to continue moving south and fled to a place called Sunda in Java.

It goes without saying how terrible it was when the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.

For the West, Rome is a legend, but for East Asia, China, the living father, is still alive.

"In the southwest, the Mengyang Xuanwei Office was re-established and renamed Mengyang Prefecture, and the trade route to the Bay of Bengal was opened." Zhu Yijun received a battle report from the southwest.

The Ming Dynasty re-established a Xuanweisi, which had the same nature as the original Mubang Prefecture. It was a place under the jurisdiction of the Tusi, the local government, and the Duke of Qian, similar to a territory.

The war has been going on for four years since it started in the 12th year of Wanli. The current battlefield situation is no longer characterized by large-scale fighting, but the situation of both sides cutting each other's flesh with small knives has been continuing. It can be said that every battle is bloody, and every time there is a confrontation, Toungoo will suffer a great loss.

The population, livestock and territory are constantly shrinking.

The way the Ming Dynasty taught this lesson was aimed at completely destroying Toungoo, without showing any mercy.

"It's only four years, just keep fighting." Zhu Yijun felt that it didn't matter. Until now, Yunnan had not requested the hinterland to transfer food and grass, which showed that the war was not tense. It was really painful to cut the flesh with a small knife. Toungoo's Mangyingli had asked for peace several times in a row, but received no response.

Mang Yingli decided the beginning of the war, and the Ming Dynasty decided the end of the war. This is very reasonable and fair.

"It's a bit strange. After so long, Mangyingli actually held on, while Oda Nobunaga chose to commit suicide." Zhu Yijun talked about the situation in Toungoo. Mangyingli actually blocked the Ming offensive for four years! Even Oda Nobunaga only lasted less than three years before committing suicide.

"Isn't it that the Ming Dynasty doesn't allow Toungoo to surrender?" Feng Bao felt helpless. It's not that Mangyingli resisted for a long time, but that the Ming Dynasty had a very tough attitude and would not allow surrender. He could only fight while looking for an opportunity for peace talks.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, why is he still alive? Didn't those Burmese bandits under his command take his life in order to negotiate peace?"

Feng Bao thought for a moment and said, "Then arrange for him to die?"

Zhu Yijun shook his head: "Why do I need his head? I want Toungoo to never have the ability to harass the borders of Ming again."

"It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty does not want him that he is still alive. In case the Ming Dynasty gets tired and annoyed of fighting and asks the Burmese for Mang Yingli's head, the Burmese will also have something to hand over to the court." Feng Bao explained the reason.

Toungoo was eager for the Ming to ask for Mangyingli's head, which would mean that the war would soon end.

By then, the Burmese bandits will go to the Duke of Qian's mansion to kowtow and call him father, and the matter will be over. This has been the case for so many years, from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the Wanli period.

It is not shameful to kowtow and call someone dad, after all, we have been doing so for so many years.

Unfortunately, this time they encountered a very persistent emperor who insisted on fighting until the Burmese bandits completely disappeared from the southwest direction of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the reason we are still fighting is because of two things. One is jade, which is a stone in Myanmar, but is more valuable than gold in the heartland of the Ming Dynasty. The second is wood, high-end mahogany and teak. The Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding industry needs them very much, especially some expensive pleasure boats, which are made entirely of teak." Feng Bao explained the differences between the Ming Dynasty's expedition against Toungoo this time and previous ones.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty did not continue to advance into the southwest because it had no economic value. The tropical rainforest was full of trees and it was difficult to farm there. Because the rainy season was too long, the traditional technique of burning the land was not effective and there was no value in exploring it.

The purpose of war in the past was mainly to instruct, which is why it was repeated over and over again.

This time it was very different. The Burmese jade and timber business made the attack no longer a simple consumption of food and grass. The huge gap in the shipbuilding industry made the related industries in Yunnan become extremely developed.

The Toungoo people were captured and forced to cut wood and mine. After the wood was processed, it was sent down the Wujiang River and then south along the Yangtze River in Chongqing Prefecture until it was used for shipbuilding in Nanya and Songjiang Prefecture. Various goods from the hinterland were brought back to Chongqing Prefecture and loaded onto ships for transport to Yunnan.

"Wait a minute, I understand. The Ming army has emerged in the jade mine. Is that right?" Zhu Yijun reviewed Feng Bao's analysis and came to a simple and easy-to-understand conclusion.

It is the same as the Ming Dynasty's war against Japan. Before the war, Ming Dynasty did not know that Japan had silver mountains. Even the Emperor of Japan and the Shogun could not be distinguished clearly. Now Japan has silver mines, and Ming Dynasty is in dire need of silver after opening the sea.

Feng Bao bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"It's useless for them to keep these jades. Even if they can process them, there's no market for them. In the end, they will still be sold to the heartland of the Ming Dynasty. It's better to let the Ming army station there so that they can mine in peace. This is also for their own good, so they don't have to fight over a few jades."

"Now, due to the jade and timber business, merchants from the Ming Dynasty are willing to trade in Yunnan, which has driven the development of Yunnan. Therefore, Yunnan is not in a hurry to end this war."

This is: It is easy to govern a strong country, but difficult to govern a weak and chaotic country.

Also shrouded in the shadow of the Ming Dynasty is the Kingdom of Annan, which has once again fallen into civil strife. While the four countries are fighting each other, the imported rice exported to the Ming Dynasty this year has hit a new high. War requires money and weapons, so the looted rice is exported in exchange for cheap weapons from the Ming Dynasty, continuing the internal strife.

Zhu Yijun handled a batch of memorials, most of which came from Southeast Asia. Zhang Yuanxun said that he had built three more Han town towns and reclaimed 40,000 hectares of land. Yin Zhengmao reported that they had found a silver mine with an annual output of 500,000 taels of silver, and had built a Han town town and reclaimed more than 20,000 hectares of land. The requests of the two memorials were the same: lack of people.

Exiles could not fill these gaps.

"Whenever the two governors submit a memorial, they ask me for people. Where can I find living people for them? The governors of Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, and even Henan all submit a memorial, scolding the Governor's Office for being greedy. If the Governor's Office is short of people, don't they lack people?" Zhu Yijun found that the emperor was always in such a dilemma. Zhu Yijun really had no one, so he coordinated with the Governor's Office.

"Your Majesty, the outflow of population from Shandong has been the least in recent years." Feng Bao said very carefully: "Governor Wang Yi'e has no problem with his character. Shandong was originally full of bandits, but in recent years, there are very few people from Shandong who have migrated to Liaodong."

Population outflow is a very critical barometer. If people do not run away, it is either because the local area has completely banned migration, or because the development is good. Shandong has highways, ports and canals, so it cannot be banned. For example, Fujian also has a road permit system.

As a native of Shandong, Wang Yi'e did not go to Liaodong, the Southern Court, or overseas. This in itself means that Wang Yi'e did a good job as the governor, and his relationship with Xu Jie can be put to the past. The court officials at that time also considered this factor and did not allow Your Majesty to use him. However, Your Majesty appointed people based on their merits and appointed Wang Yi'e.

In this case of Yang Wei and Wu Shilai, the most passive person was Wang Yi'e. He was doing well in Shandong, but disaster struck. There was even an imperial censor who began to impeach Wang Yi'e on the grounds that he was an old friend and disciple of Xu Jie. Faced with such impeachment, Wang Yi'e had no way to defend himself and could only submit a petition to retire. Even Feng Bao couldn't stand it anymore and said a few good words for Wang Yi'e.

Feng Bao’s standard for judging people was very clear, that is, whether they were loyal or not. If someone was loyal to His Majesty, he would be a good minister. If someone was not loyal to His Majesty, no matter how capable and honest he was, he would be a treacherous minister.

Wang Yi'e is undoubtedly loyal. He has completed the tasks assigned by His Majesty very well. It would be a pity if he lost the Majesty's favor because of this incident.

"I understand." Zhu Yijun agreed with Feng Bao's suggestion. Feng Bao knew him very well and knew that he was extremely wary of scholars.

Wang Yi'e did not collude with Yang Wei. If he was really involved in this incident, Wang Yi'e would probably be on his way to exile in Jinchi. As a third-rank official, as long as Wang Yi'e was not the mastermind, he would not be sentenced to death even if he was praised for his merits or virtues.

"Henan and Shandong have both requested to implement the Yingzhuang Law. They cannot return the land, and the resistance is too great. The Yingzhuang Law is just right." Feng Bao sorted out the related memorials and placed them in front of His Majesty. As for the problem of no one, the only solution that the Ming Dynasty could provide was the Yingzhuang Law.

Of course, it would be better to return the land to the fields, but in many places, the conditions for returning the land to the fields are not available.

"Approved, and instruct the governors of all parties to remember not to act too hastily." After reading these memorials, Zhu Yijun finally chose to approve it. The results of the implementation of the Yingzhuang system in Jiangxi were good. At least in the three counties of Ninghua, Ningdu and Ruijin, in just two years, there was a saying that 'farmers are diligent, the harvest is good, and the people are prosperous and safe'. There was even a lot more marriages.

It is easy to let people have children. When they see the land, the means of production, and the hope of life, they will naturally not resist.
