Chapter 405 I have to pay

Zhu Qiyu's words shocked them, but when they thought about it carefully, they found that it was indeed the case!

Nowadays, many people in Shanxi and Shaanxi have no land for farming, and they have no way of living. This is because of the sporadic anti-corruption campaign before, and some land was obtained and distributed to the people for farming, so no people rebelled!

"I don't have to keep an eye on your land, but if I don't keep an eye on your land, then the people will keep an eye on your land. I can keep you alive and let you continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, but the people We can only kill you!

The deeds of Taizu back then only lasted a hundred years, but now, people in our Ming Dynasty have actually rebelled. We have left the people with no way out, and they can only rebel!

Everyone, you are all descendants of the clan. If the Ming Dynasty is here, you can always enjoy it. If the Ming Dynasty dies! You guys, do you still want to live? Even if he did not die in my hands, you may not be able to see it, but what about your descendants?

Will future generations be responsible for the mistakes you have made? Um?

Do you know how to keep an eye on the land?

Why do I want you to restrict the land? I want to give the people a way to survive, and you yourself a way to survive. Don't regret it when you are about to die!

When you are about to die, you realize that all those money, those mansions, those shops, and those fields are of no use at all. You have made it easier for others, and your entire family has been killed!

You should consider this matter yourself!

I can give you money, I can give you a mansion, I can give you shops, but I can't give you land! Those lands must be planted by the people, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger, and so will the kings! "Zhu Qiyu pointed at them and said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" All the vassal kings knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Qiyu!

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, looked at the vassal king kneeling on the ground, and then said lightly: "It's not that I'm cold-blooded, it's not that I don't sympathize with you! I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I have to consider the future of the Ming Dynasty. I have to consider The future of my Ming Dynasty clan!"

"Your Majesty, I understand your mistake!" The feudal kings kowtowed again.

Zhu Qiyu sighed deeply!

"I dare not, Your Majesty, I agree. I am willing to write the memorial now!" King Qin immediately said with his hand.

After hearing this, the vassal kings all looked up and looked at Lin Cunde in surprise!

"These are the benefits I give you. I know that you are not willing to take your land, but I have to take it. I just said that I can give you money, shops, and mansions, but I can give you Not the land!

King Lu also stood up at this moment, cupped his hands and said: "I agree, but I have a request!"

Lin Cunde also smiled and said at this moment: "Your Majesty, it is very difficult for you. You may have ignored this Royal Company! The annual profit of the Royal Company will not be less than six million taels, and this is shared equally between Your Majesty and the kings. Yes, now I, the twenty-one kings of the Ming Dynasty, plus your majesty’s three sons, except for the prince, are only twenty-three kings. On average, each vassal king can get more than 200,000 taels of silver, and this is just start!

In the future, I, Ming Dynasty, will join the imperial company and do business overseas, and the profits will definitely be long!

And with the money allocated to you, you can buy shops and mansions. You can rent shops and mansions to others, and you can also pay them back, but you can't touch the land! "

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said to King Lu.

"My request is that our clan's land will not be taxed, and our clan's children will be allowed to go out to work and do business!" King Lu said to Zhu Qiyu.

They are not stupid. If they don't agree, they will die. If you agree now, you will not only be able to keep your position as the feudal king, but you can also save your life!

The other seven guilty vassal kings all said that they are now willing to write memorials and agree to this matter!

I will not force you to take a stand on this matter today. You should consider it yourself. If you think about it clearly, I will send you the last memorial!

If you agree, I am happy. If you disagree, I will not force you. You can just continue to hold the land! "Zhu Qiyu said looking at the feudal kings.

Taizu did not allow them to work or do business before!

After Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a moment, he said: "I haven't thought about this clearly yet, but it's okay to do work. If it's business, I'm worried about the clan members robbing the merchants' wealth. This won't work!"

After hearing this, Lin Cunde raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the Royal Company is allowed, and it can only do the things within the Royal Company, and is not allowed to expand its business. Moreover, the clan members can be given high salaries, but Your Majesty has the power to veto the employment. , In addition, the kings also have such power. For example, this son of the clan is domineering and arrogant, and bullies the people, bringing a very bad reputation to the royal family! Then the kings can ask your majesty to expel this son and not be allowed to work in the royal business. Work!”

"Well, this is fine!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and said after hearing this.

"I agree, thank you Your Majesty!" King Lu immediately raised his hands and said after hearing this.

"I am also willing to write a memorial now!" King Shu immediately stood up and said with cupped hands.

Then other vassal kings also expressed their willingness to write!

It’s impossible not to write. Although Zhu Qiyu said he would not be punished, everyone knows that if he is not punished now, he will definitely be punished in the next few years!

"Well, since the kings are thinking about the Ming Dynasty, I will make it clear that I will not pursue any matters committed by corrupt officials that have anything to do with you before today. Things after today will be investigated!

However, I need to make it clear to those eight princes and princes that they are wooing Wang Zhi and corrupting Wang Zhi. That will not work. I need to give them a warning, deprive the princes and princes of their princes, and let those princes choose others! "Zhu Qiyu saw that they were so sensible, so he also gave them some benefits! However, he would definitely punish those eight princes and princes. This was also a warning to those people!

You are not allowed to do such things again, and you are not allowed to do such things against Zhen Dinghou and Lulinghou!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Those vassal kings immediately bowed their hands to Zhu Qiyu, including King Qin and others. It would not be a big deal to change the prince. After all, those princes also have many sons!

"Also, you eight princes, um, hand over the letters that the civil servants have contacted you, and I will not raid your homes!" Zhu Qiyu said to the eight princes.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eight princes all said yes!

This is what should be given to you. If you don’t give it, then you will die!

Soon, the vassal kings wrote the memorials. Zhu Qiyu took these memorials and looked through them carefully. They were all pretty good!

So he smiled and nodded and said! "It's almost noon. Let's have lunch at the palace today! I said that besides land, I will consider giving it to you if you want anything. By the way, Shou Ming!"

"I'm here!" Lin Cunde stood up immediately.

"I am going to find a place in the east city direction to build the feudal princes' palace, so that the feudal princes will not live in different places. Each feudal prince's palace covers an area of ​​fifty acres. Let's build thirty of them first and then distribute them to the feudal princes. , you are responsible for this!" Zhu Qiyu explained to Lin Cunde.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Cunde immediately raised his hands and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The feudal kings also happily said to Zhu Qiyu with their hands in hand.

"From now on, every year, I will call some of you back to Beijing to live for a while and talk to me. The Ming Dynasty cannot be done by me alone. We also need to rely on the vassal kings. You understand the sufferings of the people in the local area. , if you have any news, you can tell me, and you can write me secrets! I can also know local things!

I hope that Ming Dynasty will get better and better, and people’s lives will get better and better. If people’s lives get better, we will get better too!

From now on, I hope you will stop focusing on the land. Land is the lifeblood of the people. We cannot rob the people of their land. I also hope you will make it clear to the princes! The land is a red line, I hope they don't touch it!

Not touching the land is the greatest congratulation to my Ming Dynasty. I have money and I will not be stingy. What do you need? You can also write to me. Whatever I can give, I will definitely give it to you! "Zhu Qiyu said with a smile to those feudal kings, now being able to solve the affairs of those feudal kings without any blood is the best result!

Zhu Qiyu knew that they were unable to make any big waves!

Of course, Zhu Qiyu also knew that taking away so much of their land was equivalent to killing half of their lives, but there was no way!

They didn't buy that land, they snatched it!

Soon, Zhu Qiyu led the vassal kings to have dinner, accompanied by Lin Cunde. Those people were also very complicated about Lin Cunde. They carefully found that Lin Cunde supported Zhu Qiyu!

Without the support of Lin Cunde, Zhu Qiyu would not have been so strong, and he would not have been able to gain power so quickly!

But there is no way. They wanted to deal with Lin Cunde before, but now they don't have the ability!

After eating, Zhu Qiyu asked the vassal kings to do the work of the county kings and let the county kings voluntarily give up the land. Otherwise, don't blame Zhu Qiyu for being rude!

In Lin Cunyi's house, Lin Cunyi is very busy at the moment. Lin Cunyi has never come back. When the guests at home come, Lin Cunyi comes to entertain them. Fortunately, most people know Lin Cunyi and know that Lin Cunyi is Lin Cunyi's brother, otherwise This is very rude!

However, Lin Cunyi also knew that Lin Cuunde was left in the palace, and those vassal kings were also left in the palace!

Many ministers mentioned this when they came to pay New Year greetings!

Some ministers were worried, while others looked at Lin Cunyi and wanted to stop talking. They also wanted Lin Cunyi to help!

But they all knew that Lin Cunyi didn't dare to make the decision regarding Lin Cunde's affairs!

Fortunately, Lin Cunyi is now helping in the government, so Lin Cunyi can relax a little. Lin Cunyi knows many of the generals in the army, and when he fought in Shanhaiguan before, Lin Cunyi also followed Lin Cuunde!

However, there are still many civil servants at home now, and those civil servants have no intention of going back, nor do they have any intention of going elsewhere to pay New Year's greetings.
