The reason why Zhu Youxiao cares about the situation of clearing the land in Henan, Shandong and Huguang.

The reason is that these three places are major production areas except Jiangnan, especially Huguang.

Once these three places have successfully cleared the land, a large amount of taxes will be discovered due to investment, inconvenience and accumulation of taxes, thus a large amount of food can be recovered.

According to the previous experience of Qingzhang in Nanzhili, these three places can produce tens of millions of stones of grain in total.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao believed that as long as the Qing Dynasty in these three places ended, the court would be able to obtain a lot of food and fodder, and it would undoubtedly be more than enough to solve the food crisis in Jiangnan.

"According to the governors of Henan, Shandong and Huguang, the only thing left in the Qingzhang land in Henan, Shandong and Huguang is the only land of the vassal kings who have not completed the Qingzhang land. However, the vassal kings are all nobles. According to the ancestral system, all the Constitutional officials report the news as the king's minor mistakes. Those who are separated from each other will be killed!

Therefore, no one dares to impeach the vassal kings easily. If there is a vassal king, there is no right to deal with it. Once the vassal kings are unwilling to be cleared, this matter will be difficult to deal with."

In the capital, the Minister of Revenue, Xiang Bi Ziyan, and Fang Congzhe, talked about the matter of clearing the land of Zhangzhe.

Fang Congzhe said: "It is difficult to deal with it! Your Majesty will not shelter the clan relatives, so that the local censors and the censors can feel at ease to impeach. If something really happens, I will protect them. Even if Your Majesty really wants to punish the court officials for the vassal kings, I will be the first to apologize to Your Majesty!"

Bi Ziyan saw Fang Congzhe saying this and said, "Yes!"

"The key now is to quickly transport the grain taxes that have been recovered after clearing the land of Zhangzhang to Jiangnan. You and I know that since the official textile industry began, Jiangnan will not be able to calm down. Now it is a rebellion. The next thing may be the soaring grain prices after the rebellion is pacified and the large-scale merger of local tyrants. If Your Majesty prevents the local tyrants from a large-scale merger and gives silver to ordinary scholars in Jiangnan, it will aggravate the soaring price of grain. Now Your Majesty has several urgent edicts to show that this matter has happened. So, Mr. Wang, how many tyrants have you recovered during the process of clearing the land of Zhangzhang in Henan, Shandong and Huguang?"

As Fang Congzhe said, he asked Wang Yingjiao, the governor of the West Factory.

Wang Yingjiao, the governor of the West Factory, replied: "As the three places in Henan, Shandong and Huguang, cleared the fields of 100 million shi of grain and fodder, the West Factory has recovered more than 5 million stones of grain and fodder, and has been transported to the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue. Next, we will only wait for the fields of the vassal kings to be cleared to see how many people can be found to pay taxes."

"These five million stones of grain have been transferred to Jiangnan after His Majesty issued an order to transfer grain to Jiangnan. It is estimated that it has passed through Linqingzhou. At present, the land of the Qing vassal kings is still the key. Most of the fertile land in these three places is dedicated to these vassal kings. If the land of the vassal kings is not cleared out, it will be difficult for these three major grain-producing provinces to recover more than half of the grain tax."

Bi Ziyan frowned and said.

Fang Congzhe said solemnly: "It seems that the land of the vassal king of Qingzhang must be carried out as soon as possible. I personally wrote a letter to the governors and inspectors of these three places. Whoever completes the land of Qingzhang as soon as possible, I will be the first to recommend him to go to Beijing to serve as an official of the Six Ministry!"

...

Jinan, Shandong.

Dewang Mansion.

Because Dezhou is barren, King De of history built a royal palace in Jinan.

After receiving Fang Congzhe's handwritten letter, Shandong Governor Xu Keqiu also actively promoted the matter of clearing the fields of Zhangzhang. Therefore, he personally brought a group of Shandong officials to the Dewang Mansion, demanding to meet with King Dewang Zhu Changjie and clear the fields of the King Dewang.

"We want to clear my king's fields?"

After learning about Xu Keqiu's purpose, Zhu Changjie directly lowered her face and said, "Just let Xu Keqiu come in! In addition, call my king's guards!"

Not long after, Xu Keqiu came to the De Palace and met De King Zhu Changjie.

At this time, Zhu Changjie had already had many guards around him.

Zhu Changjie smiled faintly at Xu Keqiu and asked directly: "Xu Futai, I heard that you are coming to clear my fields?"

"That's true. This is the imperial decree. I hope your highness will cooperate."

Xu Keqiu bent down and replied.

Zhu Changjie picked up the teacup and smashed it at Xu Keqiu, gritting her teeth and said, "I obey your bullshit order! He really thought that he was Yuanfu, so how could he do to me? I am the blood of the king of the heaven family, no one dared to do anything to me!"

Xu Keqiu was smashed all over the tea, but he still calmly said: "Please cooperate with the Qingzhang."

Zhu Changjie became more angry when she saw this and ordered: "The whole world belongs to my Zhu family. Are you qualified to investigate? Get out of here! Don't even think about the matter of clearing the monkey. No one is qualified to investigate my king's land!"

Xu Keqiu did not get out, but continued to reply: "Please cooperate with the Qingzhang."

Zhu Changjie was furious, stood up, and walked to Xu Keqiu: "Okay! It seems that you will not give up if you don't know my king's fields today!"

"Come on! I cut this guy who doesn't have this king in my eyes! I'm an adult pig, and I like playing with human pig the most!"

Zhu Changjie said this and smiled viciously, then patted Xu Keqiu's face: "You came here by yourself."

Xu Keqiu was also shocked. He did not expect that King De would deal with him like this. He couldn't help but shout: "Your Highness King De! Please respect yourself! You are a noble man in heaven, how can you be so cruel!"

At this time, Jia Yuan, the chief of the Prince De's Mansion, hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, is this not good? After all, he is a governor and an official appointed by the court."

Zhu Changjie sneered: "I am a bloodline of the Tian family, no one can kill me! What kind of imperial officials are? What if I kill me? I like to play like this! At most, I just go to Fengyang to ban them. Could it be that I dare to kill me?!"

As Zhu Changjie said that, he shouted to the guards: "Don't you want to live anymore? Haven't you heard the king's order? I'll drag Xu Keqiu down and be punished!"

The guards of Prince De's mansion had to hurry to drag Xu Keqiu down.

Xu Keqiu was shocked and shouted: "Your Highness, you are inappropriate! Even if you are guilty, it is not your turn to deal with it! You can't stop the court from clearing the land! Even if you cut the child into pieces, you can't stop it!"

Zhu Changjie refused to listen.

Half an hour later, Xu Keqiu was sentenced to death by King De, and Xu Keqiu, who had no limbs, was then thrown out of Prince De's mansion.

Bang!

Xu Keqiu fell outside the steps of Prince De's Mansion.

The gate of Prince De's Mansion was immediately closed.

Officials such as Shandong Inspector You Shiren and other officials were shocked when they saw this.

"Have you paid off the land of Futai by the vassal kings like this?"

The left governor Xiao Jixuewendao.

You Shiren said in a trembling voice: "No! When the court sends a new governor, report this matter immediately. Tianmu, the prince of Qingzhang, is very difficult!"

...

After hearing about this, Zhu Youxiao turned cold and said, "These vassal kings really don't take my kingly law seriously. My governor will kill him if he says he wants to kill him. Have they forgotten that they are not only nobles, but also my ministers?!"

"Your Majesty, even if the vassal kings have always been too serious, they will not be executed unless they rebelled. At most, they are just banned. Therefore, the vassal kings are so unscrupulous. Moreover, Tian Mu, the vassal king of Qing, did indeed make their profits this time."

Xiong Tingbi replied.

"I sent an order to abolish the De Palace and remove all the titles of the De Palace. Zhou Yuji, you will be transferred to the governor of Shandong and general of Shandong, and circulated the De Palace to me! Take King De Zhu Changjie to me! Everyone in the De Palace except for the maternal and child-child who took them to Liaodong for exile! Killing my governor is like rebellion!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "I don't think about who is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"In addition, the intention is to ask Zhang Tongchang to take the title of Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and Right Deputy Censor, and also serve as the Governor of the Grain Transportation, responsible for supervising the grain transportation affairs, and transport the grain taxes collected after the land was cleared to Jiangnan as soon as possible. The most important thing at the moment is to solve the shortage of grain in Jiangnan. Our solution is to transfer grain from all over the country. This is the time to prove whether the rule of the court can suppress local tyrants!"

Zhu Youxiao continued to instruct.

Now that the reform has entered the deep waters, it has involved the interests of the greatest powers of the empires such as the great nobles of the imperial kings. Zhu Youxiao had to start to arrange his most trusted Yulin Guard from being responsible for leading troops to managing internal affairs for himself and implementing new policies to enhance his emperor's dominance.

After all, the ministers who support the reform of Emperor Zhu Youxiao are still mainly important central officials, and local officials are still relatively short of reliable people.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao began to place important civil positions such as Zhang Tongchang and Zhou Yuji in Yuji.

Just like Emperor Wu of Han had to make his brother-in-law go from a groom to a general in order to conquer the Huns, Yongzheng had to use his slave as a general and the governor to suppress the royal family.

Zhang Tongchang and Zhou Yuji are now the most reliable people in Zhu Youxiao, so they have to take on heavier responsibilities to leverage larger interest groups.

"Abide by the order!"
