Zhu Yunxiu looked at Grandpa Huang's back as he left, and felt his nose sore and tears rolled in his eyes.

He finally saw the scene he didn't want to see the most. Grandpa Huang is old after all...

This night seemed dull, but for the entire Ming Dynasty, it was the last tranquility before the storm came.

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang did not attend court and threw the entire court to Zhu Yunxi.

The first thing Zhu Yunyu did in charge of the government was to comprehensively investigate the number of land acres across the country.

Although the officials in the court did not dare to object openly, none of them secretly were willing to cooperate.

The military generals and nobles were in a complicated mood and desperately hid their own property, not wanting to be found out.

More officials sneered silently and decided to be a good Pope's grandson.

Because in this era, the inventories of land could only be done by sea of ​​people, and manual measurements per mu per mu.

Let’s not talk about whether there are so many people in the court who know how to measure land and obtain first-hand data. Even if there are so many people, it is a massive project to measure the land and obtain first-hand data.

Chen Zongli, the Minister of Revenue, hoped that the court would have a clear account, but he also knew how difficult it was to do so. Especially when local governments and local gentry colluded with each other, it was difficult to make it.

sky.

Therefore, he was the first to stand up and question.

"Your Highness, it is a good thing to measure the land, but where did Daming go to find so many talents for a while?"

"In addition, unless there are people from the hometown leading the way, the foreigners don't even know where the land is. How can they measure it?"

"The country gentry in the countryside is too late to hide the land, so how could he take the initiative to inform him?"

As soon as Chen Zongli finished speaking, everyone in the court nodded.

"What Chen Shangshu said is reasonable. How can the crown prince make people go against human nature and actively tell him where the land he hides?"

Zhu Yunxiu smiled coldly in the face of everyone's doubts.

"Gou never thought they could cooperate!"

"The Secretariat drafted the imperial edict according to what Gu Gang had just said, and then spread it to all the governors of the Ming Dynasty, prefectures and counties and other yamen, and the officials of the other six ministries cooperated..."

After Zhu Yunxiu said this, he announced that he had disbanded the court, which surprised everyone.

After crossing the Wulong Bridge, a group of officials stayed away from the surveillance of the guards and began to complain wildly.

"The crown prince is so young and energetic. I don't know how deep the water is!"

"At that time, His Majesty the Emperor just investigated the land in Jiangnan, and used hundreds of thousands of troops, and the fields were full of soldiers. Only then did he investigate the land in Jiangnan."

"The crown prince is not prepared at all now, so he wants to check the land in the country. Maybe he has to do the same as the time two years ago, and finally he will be left alone..."

"We don't know what it can be cleaned up. We only know that we have to write a letter to the people at home and let them cooperate with the government, hehehe..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone smiled and echoed.

"This is a very true saying. It is our duty to cooperate with the crown prince to investigate the land mu. I have to go back and write a letter to my family..."

On the day Zhu Yunyu announced the investigation of the country's land, thousands of letters flew out in the capital, spreading the way to every province and prefecture of the Ming Dynasty.

Some fell into the hands of local county magistrates, some fell into the hands of the patriarchs of local large clans, and some fell into the hands of the governor.

In short, before the official documents of the court were issued, all prefectures and counties and gentry of the Ming Dynasty knew that the crown prince wanted to investigate the land across the country, and knew that this was the old emperor's test on the crown prince prince prince.

Therefore, before the court documents officially arrived, all households in prefectures and counties began to become busy, and various land transactions, pawnings, transfers and other procedures were proceeding quickly.

After receiving the official documents from the court, the magistrate of Jinhua County just sneered and threw the letter on the desk.

"Check the land?"

"The prince's grandson thought too simply. He thought that just a single document could force the people to hand over their hidden land?"

"Sir, what should we do?"

"Only post notices, ordering all village chiefs, township chiefs, and grain chiefs to come to the county to study..."

"Although the imperial grandson's decree is too ridiculous, as ministers, we still have to cooperate with each other..."

"Sir!"

Under the urging of the Jinhua County Magistrate, all the township heads and village heads of Jinhua County, and even grain heads, came to the county government office to listen to the notice.

"I inform all the people that the court now wants to check the land in the country. If there are any hidden land, they will automatically go to the county government to report and transfer the property. In the future, they only need to pay taxes according to the new law."

"If it is not possible to report, if the government is investigated, the government will be treated as a wasteland without a master!"

"Whoever dares to obstruct will be punished for treason!"

After hearing the notice read by the yamen officials, the village chiefs immediately started to beat Xiao Jiujiu.

The timid Li Zheng thought of the dozens of acres of wasteland he had reclaimed by the river, and he felt a little anxious, thinking about whether to report to the government in advance.

As for those brave Li Zheng, they did not take the court's notices to heart at all.

After all, the government also investigated two years ago, but it was only a loneliness.

After the crowd dispersed, they gathered together to discuss.

"Zhao Lizheng, it seems that there is a lot of land hidden in your house, right?"

"No, don't talk nonsense..."

"Hey, you're afraid that I'll sell you, my house has a lot of hidden land..."

"How many have you hidden?"

"Not much, only seventy or eighty acres..."

"Oh, so much?"

"My family has less than fifty acres of land, and they are rented to people from the same village to help grow..."

"You said, will the court send officers and soldiers to investigate this time like in the early years?"

Tian Lizheng smiled and said when he heard this.

"Even if you send someone to investigate, it's useless. My land is hidden in the mountains, unless the officials and soldiers of the court can fly..."

The two were talking about meeting when they suddenly heard a noise from the people around them.

"Look, something is flying in the sky!"

When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly looked towards the sky and saw a huge spherical object in the sky, flying slowly above their heads.

"This...what is this?"

"No...I don't know..."

Above the sky, Huang Wenjing and Lu Qingshu, a student of Hope School who were sitting in a hot air balloon, looked down with a telescope, while the other was responsible for writing and drawing on paper.

"There are fields in the southeast valley of Jinhua County, which is estimated to be about a thousand acres in size, and is not on the original fish scale album."

"I've written it down, is there anything else?"

"I can't see other places clearly for the time being, so I have to wait until we fly over before talking about it!"

"Xiao Zhang, change your direction and fly south and take a look..."

"Okay!"

The hot air balloon flew in the sky for a while, and Huang Wenjing suddenly shouted out in surprise.

"Discovered!"

"There is another field to the south, and mulberry trees are planted. The scale is estimated to be several hundred acres, but it is not on the fish scale album!"

Lu Qingshu exclaimed in surprise when he wrote and painted on paper.

"Good guy, in Jinhua County alone, the land hidden is twice as many as the fish scale picture album. If the whole country is checked, it would be possible to turn it over twice?"

"I shouldn't know what to do..."

"The Jiangnan land was inspected very thoroughly in the early years, and these should be the subsequent land reclamation."

"The north has never been thoroughly investigated, and its hidden land may be very amazing!"

"However, thanks to the hot ball made by the crown prince. If we don't have this hot ball support, we will be able to check the land of the Ming Dynasty in ten years!"

"yes!"

"Who could have thought that the crown prince could really go to heaven and investigate the land in heaven!"
