Chapter 1060: Immigrants from Northern Shaanxi
The next day after Gao Yihuan returned to Chang'an, various memorials came one after another, impeaching Lu Yifang for his negligence, suspecting that merchants and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were in collusion with the officials of the DPRK and China, and please send officials to patrol the south of the Yangtze River.

Unable to withstand the pressure, Lu Yifang wrote to resign, but Gao Yihuan refused.

At this time, Gao Yihuan already understood that the military capital case had become an excuse for some ministers in the DPRK. Their real goal was to attack the southeast officials and gentry and safeguard the interests of the noble groups in the north.

Gao Yihuan was the driving force behind the development of Southeast Asia's industry and commerce. Once Lu Yihuan left, he had to face the pressure of the ministers. Naturally, he was not happy, so he very unkindly asked Lu Yifang to stay and let him continue to block bullets in front.

It is said that after Lu Yifang presided over the specific matter of supporting the development of Jiangnan's industry and commerce, some honorable clan members directly blocked the door, asking him why he transferred the military order originally given to Guanlong to Jiangnan?

Why don't they support the great Wei to conquer the country, but instead support the enemy, and Lu Yifang is speechless, it is impossible to say that this is what the emperor meant.

This matter Gao Yihuan is really not kind. Others follow you to fight the country, just to overthrow the old nobles and become the new nobles. Now that you have finished fighting the country, you actually gave the benefits they deserved to those decadent southeast gentry merchants. It is really unreasonable .

Therefore, it is impossible for Gao Yihuan to admit that it was his intention. If he came forward directly, he would cut himself off from the Xungui Group and make Xungui alienated. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Although some ministers knew that it was Gao Yihuan who supported them, they would not say it clearly. To say so was against the emperor, and there was no way out. So they just attacked Lu Yifang and moved him to the ground, so that Gao Yihuan retreated.

Both sides pretended to be confused, but this is politics, and the essence of politics is compromise. Of course, if you don’t play it well, you will tear your face and turn into an endless struggle, returning to the old path of party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty.

At this time in the state of Wei, the Xungui Group was powerful. This group mainly included the Henan Township Party who followed Gao Yihuan, the rest of the Shun Army who transferred to the rest of the Shun Army after occupying Guanzhong, and a large number of northern officials who joined the Great Wei in the early days.

They became the vested interest group of Wei State, and Gao Yihuan also faced some problems that existed in the early days of any dynasty.

At this time, Jiangnan merchants played tricks on military resources, which made Gao Yihuan very passive. Yang Yongyu couldn't wait to write a letter, intending to settle the case. The censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate participated in the trial, and wanted to delay the time. On the one hand, he ordered Xuan Yiwei to step up the investigation, intending to reverse the case.

At this time, for Gao Yihuan, whether the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River had tampered with military resources was no longer important, and Gao Yihuan's intentions were quickly noticed by the clever ministers, and the memorials immediately flooded the sky and flooded the sky.

Gao Yihuan couldn't stay in Chang'an, leaving Lu Yifang to continue to carry bullets in front, and took a few officials with him, and left Chang'an directly to go to northern Shaanxi for inspection.

The war horse galloped, raising a cloud of yellow dust on the loess plateau with thousands of ravines.

Gao Yihuan and his party drove for a long time and came to a field near Yan'an Mansion.

Gao Yihuan dismounted from his horse and stood on the edge of the plateau, looking at the thousands of ravines and the desolate plateau for a while. Chen Mingxia beside him chanted: "The yellow sky is thick with soil and the river is long, and the ravines are full of wind and rain. The ancient Xuanyuan holds its head high and the cypress stands proudly. "Your Majesty, look here, don't you feel a sense of vigor?"

Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "As far as the scenery is concerned, this place is different from the surrounding areas of Chang'an, but as far as the living environment is concerned, the common people may not find it wonderful!"

Chen Mingxia sighed, "The rainfall is low, the land is barren, and drinking water is a problem for the people. It is really not easy to survive."

Gao Yihuan immediately said, "Trees are moved to die and people are moved to live. Therefore, the people must move as soon as possible! This time, no matter what, the excess population in northern Shaanxi must be moved out. There can be no return flow. The people must be moved out and settled down." , strive to relocate 50 people to Hetao, Liaodong and other places within three to five years."

Water and soil erosion in northern Shaanxi is serious. Gao Yihuan made a plan to relocate part of the population a few years ago. The first is to restore the ecology of northern Shaanxi, and the second is to solve the problem of labor shortage in the north.

Chang'an is the capital of Wei State. To develop for a long time, Guanzhong must be restored. Otherwise, the capital will be moved within a few years.

Gao Yihuan took Chen Mingxia this time, first to transfer him out of Chang'an, to prevent him from manipulating the situation in Chang'an, but to send a message that he still thinks about the nobles.

Chen Mingxia hurriedly saluted and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will follow your Majesty's instructions!"

Speaking of which, Gao Yihuan has already taken steps, walked to a village in the distance, and chatted with Zhou Wenxing, the prefect of Yan'an next to him.

"The Qing family is a Jinshi in the year of Ding Hai!" Gao Yihuan sighed: "You have been the magistrate in Yan'an for more than three years, and you have suffered. It is not easy to be an official in a poor place?"

Gao Yihuan has only officially proclaimed himself emperor for four years. Before proclaiming himself emperor, he used the celestial stems and earthly branches to count the years. The year of Dinghai was 1647. Counting, Zhou Wenxing is considered an old seniority. Some Jinshi in the same department have already mixed into the assistant minister, which is equivalent to A cadre at the deputy ministerial level, and he has been working in Yan'an for three years, and he has not moved out of his nest when Wei's power is expanding rapidly.

This is due to the new law promoted by Li Yan. The promotion of officials is linked to their political achievements. In this area of ​​northern Shaanxi, there are poor mountains and bad waters, and the people are everywhere. The main force of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty was here. , It is indeed difficult to make political achievements.

Hearing Gao Yihuan's words, Zhou Wenxing was moved. Scholars die for their confidantes. He is not the kind of bureaucrat with a quick brain, but a scholar with ideals. If you follow the relationship, you won't stay in the nest for several years.

"Your Majesty, it's a little bit hard, but after the immigrants leave, I will see hope!" Zhou Wenxing said.

Gao Yihuan frowned and said, "Oh, so you didn't see hope before?"

Zhou Wenxing was taken aback, and looked at Gao Yihuan hesitantly, "Your Majesty, do you want to listen to the truth or lies!"

Gao Yihuan stopped, "The Qing family asked a strange question, so I naturally want to listen to the truth!"

Zhou Wenxing said: "Your Majesty, the truth is that I really can't see hope. Your Majesty came all the way just now and saw it. The grass doesn't grow in many places here, and it is difficult for people and livestock to drink water. It is really difficult for the people to survive. It’s not that the minister is vigorously promoting corn planting, food is a problem, it’s time to immigrate~”

Chen Mingxia interjected: "Prefect Zhou, the imperial court has not cared less about the people's livelihood in northern Shaanxi. His Majesty proposed to move the population of the mountainous and barren areas to the plains a few years ago. Three years ago, this pavilion presided over it personally. Moved [-] households from Yan'an Mansion to Hetao, but the result was good. In less than half a year, half of them ran back. Even the resettlement houses built by the imperial court, the doors, windows, bricks and tiles were dismantled and sold by them. Your job as a magistrate is How did you do it~"

Zhou Wenxing hurriedly said: "Gebu, before the move, the imperial court promised the common people to divide half of the land and help the military households plant half of the land, but after arriving, only the military households were allowed to cultivate the land, and the land promised to the common people was never implemented. , the government is arguing, and the common people will come back."

Gao Yihuan was a little surprised. He originally thought that the return of the people should be due to their love for their hometown, and he didn't want to have any secrets. "Zhou Qing, why didn't you report this matter!"

Zhou Wenxing said: "Your Majesty, I have reacted many times, thinking that Your Majesty already knows~"
