Ye Hua has been in Jinling for a few days. In addition to fiddling with all forces to prevent rebellion, he is more concerned about what happened to Jinling under Li Hongji's rule.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Ye Hua has always hated literati who speak vernacularly. He cannot solve the problem by relying on imagination.

The person who investigated him was Zhao Er and the embroidered envoy. In addition, the old Taoist Chen Tuan also came from Suzhou. In order to help Han Xizai escape, Chen Tuan was in Jinling for a long time and was very familiar with the situation.

"Mr. Marquis, tell me, how many people are in Jinling?" Chen Tuan asked.

Ye Hua shrugged, "The Southern Tang Dynasty is known as one million, but according to my judgment, there should be more."

"That's right!" The old Taoist nodded vigorously, "Not just passing by, there are at least one and a half million people in Jinling City! Among them, there are at least 300,000 young and strong people who are unemployed!"

"Why are there so many?" Ye Hua was surprised. One million and a half million were more than Kaifeng!

Chen Tuan said angrily: "If the people are willing to enter the city, their fields have been deprived and mulberry seedlings have been planted. What should the people without land do? They have squeezed into the city and come to the emperor's feet to ask for food!"

Zhao Er continued: "The workshops in Jinling City do require some weavers, but they cannot use so many people. There are too many young and strong people outside, so they can only do odd jobs or thieves. Most of these people have joined the Tangkou Gang, and people in the city die inexplicably every day."

Anyone who has learned some history knows the incident of sheep eating people.

From the perspective of later generations, raising more sheep provides valuable raw materials for the textile industry, and at the same time adds a lot of free labor to the city. Although it is cruel, it is also a kind of progress.

But if you are truly in it and become a member of the bankrupt farmer, you probably won’t have such thoughts, but you will only have deep resentment!

The land that our ancestors cultivated was taken away, and the dependence on life disappeared.

How can they live?

Only from the countryside to the county town, from the county town to the prefecture, and finally all gathered in the capital.

At least under the emperor's feet, there are many gold and silver everywhere, and there are more opportunities. Even if you can't find a job, you won't starve to death. The court will open a porridge factory.

Even in later generations, people still like to gather in first-tier cities. In this era, the people are even more blind and flocking in, and Jinling City is already overwhelmed.

In fact, why can Ye Hua's army trade with the city? Apart from Chen Qiao's weakness, I really dare not ban it. I have the ability to close the four gates, salt cannot be in, food cannot be in, firewood cannot be in, and silk cannot be out. In just a few days, refugees around the world will rebel, and hundreds of thousands of refugees are enough to completely destroy Jinling City!

This is the terrible consequence of blindly promoting industrialization and blindly engaging in sheep and eating people!

If the contradiction between people and land is not resolved and the rash encouragement of industry and commerce will not only fail to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but will only cause endless harm!

"We must let these hundreds of thousands of people leave Jinling!"

Ye Hua said so.

Chen Tuan rolled his eyelids and said, "What do you want to do? After leaving Jinling, they did not have a place to stand and they starved to death immediately."

"Then set a place for them!"

Ye Hua said without hesitation: "It is urgent to implement equal fields in Jiangnan!"

"What should the merchants do?" Chen Tuan asked Ye Hua back, "Does the conditions you promised Su Shang be counted? You divided the fields and the people went to grow grain. Where did the raw silk, tea, and cotton you wanted come from? Where did the workers in the city come from?"

Chen Tuan, an old Taoist priest, is enough to be a prime minister in terms of his vision. If he does not have such cultivation, he will not be able to deal with the powerful and powerful people, as if he is in water.

But Ye Hua already had a scheming case.

He smiled, "I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm looking at the moment, and don't solve the problem of refugees quickly. If someone takes the opportunity to incite the people to make trouble, my butt will catch fire."

After saying that, Ye Hua got up and walked outside, and Zhao Er followed him step by step. As for Chen Tuan, the old Taoist priest did not go. He saw through it. Ye Hua was going to kill someone again.

"Wuliang Tianzun, let them do evil things, the old Taoist will never get involved in killing evil things."

Chen Tuan made a black dog, cooked a full pot, hid in the study and ate the dog's thighs and ate... The old Taoist priest was so casual and had a happy meal, but some people became ants on the hot pan, restless.

Feng Yanji is the one who is feeling uncomfortable.

He hated Ye Hua now, and his teeth were itchy.

This little bastard is simply heartless and ruthless!

I helped you and took down Jinling. You gave me three ivory cards. I was also obsessed with it. I actually believed your words and helped you enter the city with all my heart.

The result! You are now reusing Han Xizai, Pan Chengyou, and Xu Xuan.

They all arranged to clear the land and gentry to pay the food together.

Whose is Qingzhang?

Not my husband's yet!

Those guys didn't hold back their bad things, and they would definitely take the opportunity to take revenge.

Thinking about it now, Li Hongji may not be good, but when it fell into Ye Hua's hands, it was the meat on the chopping board!

This is called a mistake in one move, and a lot of misses.

Feng Yanji even hoped that Li Hongji could win the best. Then he would strike again and capture Ye Hua, and take Ye Hua's head to ask for me. Perhaps Li Hongji's forgiveness could be obtained.

Feng Yanji sent someone to Yangzhou in private to inquire about the news.

He didn't know that on the day he sent people to Yangzhou, Chai Rong had already defeated Li Hongji's 300,000 troops and surrounded Yangzhou. The old man's final hope was also vain.

"Mr. Feng, you are in good health?" Ye Hua smiled and said, "There is an old family, like a treasure. Mr. Song is already ill, so you must hold on!"

Ye Hua patted Feng Yanji on the shoulder hard, very rude, Feng Yanji could only laugh, "Thank you for your concern, I am still tough, why is the Marquis having time to go to my house? If there is something wrong, just let me go."

"Hahaha!" Ye Hua laughed loudly, "It's nothing big, it's what Mr. Xu mentioned. I thought about it. Jiangnan has many accumulated problems. For the sake of the present, we can only clear the land and implement equal land." Ye Hua leaned forward and smiled and said, "Mr. Feng follows the will of heaven. I hope you can lead the lead and set an example for the gentry in Jiangnan!"

Feng Yanji's expression was slightly stiff, and he grinned and said, "Mr. Marquis, since that's the case, I am willing to present the 800 hectares of land in my family to the Marquis to show my heart."

Ye Hua laughed, "Mr. Feng, you said two things wrong. First, it's not that I want it, but that the court wants it! Second, eight hundred acres, isn't it too little, right?"

Feng Yanji immediately said: "Mr. Marquis, I am an official in the Southern Tang Dynasty. I have obtained only 800 hectares of land in recent years. I have handed over all of them. If I don't believe it, Marquis can go and investigate. I will never dare to deceive the Marquis?"

Feng Yanji's words were righteous, but Ye Hua still shook his head.

"Mr. Feng, this little land is too inconsistent with your identity? The land of your Feng family is probably much more than that, right?"

Feng Yanji's heart skipped a beat, and the cold sweat from his temples fell.

He took a long time to take action and then said, "Marquis, my family does have some land, but they are all accumulated by their ancestors, but they don't take any tricks! Our Feng family reads and reads, and the family is innocent and well-known." Feng Yanji paused again and said, "Marquis, although I am a surrendered minister, I have no intention of being in the Great Zhou Dynasty. What I mean... Li Hongji is a rebellious person, and he is resentful. He killed the late emperor, bullied scholars at will, and he often dismissed all officials, cruel and cruel, and unjust. His defeat was his own fault, as if it was..."

"It seems that the Great Zhou should treat scholars more favorably, and it is best not to promote equal fields? Right?" Ye Hua asked with a smile: "But the Central Plains have been implemented, how can we not implement them in Jiangnan? Gong Feng, give me an idea!"

Feng Yanji also thought seriously, "Mr. Marquis, do you think this is possible? All the meritorious soldiers should get no less land. They can be divided from public land. I will also persuade my colleagues to contribute land... As for those ordinary people, there is no need to worry."

"Oh? Then they have no food or drink, what if they cause trouble?"

"No, don't worry, marquis." Feng Yanji said: "Now Jiangnan belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The silk workshop is day and night. I thought that it can be stipulated that all young and strong people in the city must work in the workshop within five days when they enter Jinling. If they cannot be found, they will be demoted to slaves on the spot and sold to large mulberry farmers. In this way, there will be no refugees in Jinling City."

Ye Hua frowned, "Mr. Feng, there are hundreds of thousands of people! Do you want to turn them all into slaves?"

Feng Yanji said, "Mr. Marquis, don't you say that if you are a military man, you can do it? If you can achieve success, you will die. If you can die, you will die. If you can die, you will die. What's more, you will feel dissatisfied with giving them a way out!"

Facing Feng Yanji's high opinion, Ye Hua deeply agreed, "Mr. Feng, you said that in my heart, 100 people die, 100 people die, 100 people die, 100 people die, but... I choose to die ten people die!"

Ye Hua's face suddenly darkened and he said sternly: "Come here!"

From outside, Li Yu and Xu Xuan walked in side by side.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

The two people's voices were like a bell, and their momentum was amazing.

"I haven't followed Gong Feng's wishes and take him down!"

"yes!"

The two of them hated Feng Yanji so much that they didn't hesitate at all, so they just rushed up and took him down.

Feng Yanji was stunned and did not make any mistakes! Marquis, I was wronged! You, you cannot be punished for your words, and you cannot be framed by meritorious officials! I am loyal to the Great Zhou, and I am loyal!"

He screamed strangely at the top of his throat, and Ye Hua just smiled.

"Bring people in."

Soon, someone dragged a servant into the house and walked in from outside.

When Feng Yanji saw this person, his old face immediately turned gray and white.

The servant looked up with difficulty and cried at Feng Yanji: "Prince, it's over, it's all over, Your Majesty is defeated!"

One sentence!

It seemed as if the thunder exploded, and Feng Yanji's last thoughts were gone.

My eyes went dark and I fell straight down.
Chapter completed!
