Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Zhu Yuanzhang had a very strong desire to imitate Ouyang Lun next.

After all, the simulation of Mei Yin had already given him too many wonderful feelings.

Moreover, this time, the results obtained from simulating the fifth child in his family were also very good.

Unlike the previous imitations of the second and seventh brothers, who were so infuriating that they were killing people.

Many of his sons are also very talented.

Not everyone is a bad person.

Moreover, the choice of Ouyang Wen as her son-in-law was basically her own, and her sister did not interfere much.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang even more excited.

Although he had told his sister about his good son-in-law Mei Yin when he had nothing to do before.

He said that Mei Yin was indeed the good son-in-law he had chosen.

But he also understood it in his heart.

At the Lantern Festival dinner, Mei Yin gave himself a death-defying remonstrance.

At that time, I really didn't want Mei Yin to become my son-in-law.

If it wasn't for her own sister, she would have taken the initiative to hide it from me while I was out, and made this matter a done deal.

There is really no hope for Mei Yin and his daughter.

If you really think about this matter, my sister has made a great contribution!

Therefore, the reason why he was so eager to imitate Ouyang Lun at this time was not without his desire to compete with his own sister in this regard.

And he also believed that Ouyang Lun would definitely not let him down.

In many things, it is impossible to be better than Mei Yin, a good son-in-law.

But at least things won't be done too badly.

He still has the vision of Zhu Yuanzhang.

While looking forward to simulating Ouyang Lun, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very curious about who the new simulation candidate would be next.

I hope that in the future, through simulations of these people, we can gain more.

For example, this time when he simulated Lao Wu, he unexpectedly got a lot of good things.

If I hadn't been imitating Lao Wu, I would have seen a lot of things.

There are so many things about the development of medicine that I could never have imagined.

It is even more impossible to receive praise from my own fifth child, and his sincere admiration...

Time passes day by day.

In Jiangxi, the land survey led by Liu Lian was also progressing rapidly.

When he was surveying the land, several capable men appeared.

For example, Yang Shiqi, Huang Guan, Tie Xuan... and others performed very well.

They did an exceptionally good job in calculating farmland area, registering and many other things.

Moreover, when dealing with various local affairs, communicating with people is also a breeze.

He soon stood out and became the best among them.

Among them, Yang Shiqi and Tie Xuan performed the most brilliantly.

If things continue to develop in this way, it won't be long before they are promoted.

Once the fields here are surveyed, that's when they'll achieve success, get promoted and make a fortune.

Nowadays, the land survey is generally going smoothly.

After all, Lan Yu came with so many troops this time.

Moreover, many of them are the emperor's personal troops.

The emperor's intention here is clear.
However, even so, it is not all smooth sailing.

As the land was surveyed, we entered deep water areas and the interests involved became increasingly greater.

There were also some rebellions, which were met with insurrection-style resistance.

Some people are always stubborn and always want to win through their own means.

He wanted to compete with the emperor, thinking that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

Even though the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, some people's thinking is still stuck in the Yuan Dynasty.

Some people still cannot see the situation clearly.

I want to use the methods used in the Yuan Dynasty to deal with the current situation.

There is never a shortage of selfish, stupid and short-sighted people in this world.

Some people even wanted to take action against Liu Lian, the governor of Jiangxi.

Faced with their non-cooperation, Lan Yu expressed his excitement.

He was hoping that after coming here, these people would cause more trouble.
Finally, I have been here for two months.

But there were only some minor frictions.

The overall implementation of Dutian was very smooth, which disappointed him.

I always feel it's extra boring.

At this time, news finally came that someone was rebelling and violently resisting the land transfer.

How could he not be excited?
He immediately personally assembled his troops and went to deal with the matter.

Normally, when faced with a rebellion of this magnitude, he would send a thousand households to deal with it, which would show his respect for these people.

But now, Lan Yu did it himself.

From this we can see how much Lan Yu is looking forward to this matter.

With the arrival of Lan Yu's army, those who had originally been particularly tough and rebellious suddenly became obedient.

Especially after Lan Yu's soldiers killed dozens of them in a short time, their attitude became more submissive.

Those who took the lead knelt on the ground to show that they were not rebelling.

It was just a joke and a misunderstanding before. They were all obedient citizens and supported the government's land allocation.

But Lan Yu did not hold back at all.

Just kidding, it’s so hard to meet such a promising person, and it’s so hard to meet these people who are not afraid of death.

Encountered such a thing.

But at this time, they said it was a misunderstanding.

How could this be a misunderstanding?

We must make them behave themselves!
This cut is not sharp enough, nor is it clean enough.

Next, no one knows how much trouble is waiting for them!

Moreover, what they are doing is rebellion!

Rebellion has always been a serious crime, punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan!
They turned the table over first and wanted to use force.

At this time, he found himself bringing troops here.

They knelt again and said that they were not rebelling or anything like that.

This thing is done, it’s done, but it’s not that simple!
It’s not like they can put the overturned table back just because they want to!

It’s done!

So Lan Yu led his troops to kill all the rebels.

All the leaders were beheaded as a public display.

Their family members were also arrested.

Important people were beheaded, while some less important ones were punished as slaves.

The women were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

As for the farmers and some servants who followed them in the rebellion.

Some of the hardcore and die-hard fans were beheaded.

The others were captured and sent to the north for forced immigration.

When they get there, the government will give them food and money so that they can start a new life.

After all, Jiangxi has a large population and a small land area, and it is extremely crowded at this time.

However, in the north, the emergence of the Yuan Tartars and the subsequent wars and chaos led to a severe population decline.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang started immigration soon after he ascended the throne.

However, this is not something that can be solved in a short time. At this time, it is still a good idea to bring them to the north to fill the population and promote the development of the north...

Doing so can also reduce the sin of killing.

Moreover, these people will be utilized to the maximum extent possible.

The Hongwu immigration carried out by Zhu Yuanzhang was an event that lasted for a very long time.

Historically, it lasted for nearly seventy or eighty years.

This was a very persistent national policy in the early Ming Dynasty.

The national policy of large-scale immigration set by Zhu Yuanzhang also played a great role in bridging the gap between the north and the south, promoting the integration of the north and the south, accelerating the recovery and development of the north, and alleviating the contradiction between population and land in many places in the south in the early Ming Dynasty.

It has had a lot of positive impacts.

Today, this large-scale immigration is still going on.

On Zhu Yuanzhang's side, the conditions he offered when he was carrying out immigration were also very good.

After the immigrants arrived at the new place, the government provided them with farm tools, seeds, oxen, and three months of food.

Moreover, they will be given land.

After all, at this time, many places in the north had been destroyed by the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

There are many unowned wastelands.

It takes a lot of energy and money to get these things done.

Of course, oxen are relatively rare.

Although oxen were provided, only a small number of families could get oxen.

The rest will not get any.

Otherwise, when Mei Yin was brought to Shuangshui Village, it would not have been a pig that was given to him.

And Lan Yu seemed to have done the right thing in this matter.

It really did have a very good effect.

Things turned out just as he had imagined.

At this time, when encountering such a situation, you must take ruthless action.

Otherwise, it will not be possible to calm people's hearts.

Isn't the rebellion of these people a test by people with ulterior motives?

I don’t know how many people are waiting and watching this matter.

If this is not handled well enough, and the means are not harsh enough, it will not deter people.
In this situation, the most worrying thing is that people's hearts will be in chaos.

Once people's hearts are in chaos, many people who were originally on the sidelines will join in.

This will make the matter even more difficult to handle.

This is like putting out a fire. It is easiest to put out the fire at the very beginning.

When the anger gets too big, it will be very difficult to put it out.

"Master, please say something and give me some advice.

Zhu Hongwu's side has been going further and further, and now some of our Taoist temple's businesses have been taken over by them.

In some places, 80% or even more than 90% of the land was taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Returned it to the people.

We also cleared out those who had come to rely on us.

Let them become common people again.

This is our industry!

If you don't say something right now, it will be really difficult for us to do anything!

I am afraid that many people’s hearts will be scattered!”

On the Longhu Mountain side, more than a hundred Taoists gathered here.

Among them was a man with a dark face but a long white beard. His beard looked like an immortal and he was speaking anxiously.

The voice sounded urgent.

But what he said at this time had nothing to do with his image.

At this time, all that is being talked about is interests!
After this man started speaking, the rest of the Taoists followed suit.

It means that what this person said is very right.

That's how it is.

Everyone said that the emperor had gone too far recently and that no Zhu Yuanzhang or Hongwu would do that!
He just measured the land and didn't take action against the gentry and wealthy families.

Now, they are even attacking Taoism!

Don’t you know that these people are not under the control of the secular imperial power and that their status is transcendent?

As a result, Zhu Hongwu stretched his hand so far that he got it on their heads!
Even the Taoist Ancestor cannot tolerate this!
If Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to show his appreciation, that would be fine.

They are willing to give the emperor this face.

Of course, the most important reason is that this emperor is difficult to talk to.

Moreover, this time the determination is quite strong.

He brought so many soldiers and horses with him.

However, what the Dog Emperor's people did here was really too much!

The same goes for the Taoists who have a superior status!
If you take action, you will do it without hesitation!

He was really cruel!
There is no difference in treating them and the landlords and gentry.

If we take away all their hidden land.

At the same time, many hidden accounts were cleared out!

Moreover, not only these ordinary hidden households, but also many Taoists were cleared out.

They were arrested and sent to the Central Plains, where they were forced to work as common people and were no longer allowed to be Taoists.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, there was some reason for taking such action.

To be honest, it is these Taoists who are in the wrong.

Because, if you want to be a Taoist priest, there are quotas.

You need an official certificate issued by the government.

However, things like certificates of ordination are extremely rare.

Therefore, many fake Taoist priests appeared who were not on the list at all.

These people are also Taoists.

However, they are not legal.

In the past, emperors did not pursue these matters, so it was naturally a win-win for everyone.

It's light, weighing only four ounces.

But now, Emperor Zhu wanted to put it on the scale to weigh it.

This matter cannot be stopped at all!

This is also the reason why so many Taoists gathered at Longhu Mountain at this time and asked their Heavenly Master to come forward and complain to him.

The orthodox Taoism is here.

In Jiangxi, Taoist culture is particularly prosperous because of the Longhu Mountain.

In contrast, there are also many Taoist temples.

To be honest, they are actually the biggest landlords in Jiangxi.

At this time, the emperor chopped down with his sword without holding back, treating them equally.

Under such circumstances, they naturally couldn't help it!

"Tianshi, this matter must be resolved!
The emperor must stop and cannot continue like this!
If you continue like this, we will be severely hurt!
We just do our job peacefully, and when we encounter some difficulties, we will help the people.

Never do anything illegal.

Now, the emperor treats us like this, that is really unacceptable!"

Faced with the angry crowd, the Heavenly Master, who had been silent all this time, sat up straight and finally spoke.

Seeing the Heavenly Master's action, all the Taoists stopped talking and waited to hear what the Heavenly Master had to say...
