The reason why there are so many refugees in Xianghe and the surrounding counties is that most of these military households escaped from Tianjin Wei and Jizhou, and even from Liaodong. Dengzhou and Laizhou also have them, which makes Zhu Youxiao helpless.

This can be regarded as a historical issue, but now that these military households have been driven out, the court has to do is to resettle these people, and all other things must be lined up in the back.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "What's wrong with the tenants?"

Ma Qiandao looked at Zhu Youxiao and said quickly: "Your Majesty, in addition to some of the military households that escaped were shameless black households, there were also some ordinary tenants. These big households did not rent the land to them."

"Why? The court just checked the land, why didn't the wealthy people rent the land out?"

"Because they want to turn those lands into wastelands." Ma Qiandao looked at Zhu Youxiao and said, "This way, it will not be considered their land. After the imperial court investigates it, they can continue to plant it."

"But the person who measured is not a fool, so you can't even find out?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Ma Qiandao and asked, "Does they still want to bribe everyone?"

In order to prevent this situation, Zhu Youxiao has sent many inspection teams, but unexpectedly, someone dared to commit crimes against the wind.

The most important thing is that they drove away the tenants, so they were not afraid of not hiring people back?

"Your Majesty, they drove away the tenants, probably not wanting to waste them for a year." Liu Xian took a step forward and said, "These people may not be able to cultivate these lands in a short period of time."

"If it is really abandoned, after three or five years, or even ten or eight years, these lands will still belong to them, so they will drive away the tenants. First, to avoid leaking the news, and second, if it is only one or two years, they can support these tenants. Of course, it is not ruled out that they are reluctant to leave this money and grain. For them, aren't the tenants still available on call?"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's face turned black and turned to look at Ma Qiandao beside him and asked, "How do they plan to count these lands as wasteland?"

"By Your Majesty, these fields were not registered in the court. As long as the local government did not count them when registering, there was no need to do anything else. It was not originally their land, there was no registration, nor land deeds, just continue like this."

"These big families bribed local officials and minor officials who were doing business. For example, there were 300 acres of land in their homes, and only 100 acres were registered. This time, the additional twenty acres were registered, which was considered the hidden land of their family, and the rest could be kept. Even if the court wanted to search, it would be difficult."

Zhu Youxiao knew that this was indeed very difficult and he could not send someone down. And even if he sent someone to the whole country to investigate, he would inevitably accept bribes.

Local officials will protect those big families. In these matters, they will definitely make a lot of money by eating and drinking, and are afraid that they will find it out from above.

If the big households and local officials collude with each other, this matter will be difficult to deal with. The court is really not easy to interfere in such localist matters, so they are so brave and dare to do this.

And now they have driven out all the tenants and hidden household registrations, which is clearly causing trouble for the local government and the court. Maybe the local government will report some major disaster to solve this problem when they look back.

Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "These people are so brave. They want to take the opportunity to make a fortune."

No one around said anything, everyone knew that Your Majesty must be angry, and this time it would definitely not be good.

Ma Qiandao stood aside and was a little excited.

Your Majesty, please tell me what the power of the Jinyiwei is.

This matter is not a matter of Xianghe County, nor is it a matter of Shuntian Prefecture. It is a matter of the whole world.

I have seen the things in Xianghe County, but where can I not see them?

Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at Liu Xian and asked, "What do you think should you do about this?"

Liu Xian is a graduate of the Royal Academy and is considered a very outstanding graduate. He has done a lot in recent years, and has been in the staff office, in the cabinet, and in the Ministry of Revenue. Now he has been transferred to Zhu Youxiao to accompany him. To put it bluntly, he is just giving an idea.

Now that he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, Liu Xian hurriedly said: "I think people should be sent to investigate thoroughly and to draw personnel. Each county will send people to each province to send a working group, and then the working group will send people to each prefecture, city, prefecture, county, and all places to investigate strictly. Just mobilize the Jinyiwei from all over the country and send the royal family guards to participate at the same time."

Liu Xian's expression on his face was very serious and looked up at Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, there is no other good method. If local officials collude with big families, they originally planned to copy all the land into public land, and it would become unrealistic to not allow them to be abandoned. After all, there is basically no problem that can't be solved by collusion between officials and businessmen."

"Okay, then do as you said." Zhu Youzhao looked at Liu Xian and said, "I will send an order to the cabinet and set up a national land survey operation team. You will be responsible for organizing and raising this matter when you go back. I will also send an order to them and let them all obey your orders."

Liu Xian was stunned when he heard this.

This is of course an opportunity. If he can do this well and beautifully, he will be able to make a fortune and may one day become the prime minister.

But Liu Xian also knew that he could not do this. His qualifications were too shallow and his prestige was not high, so he could not intimidate those who did things at all. Then something would happen. Not only did he not do the job well, but he also failed, which would block the future road.

Although I don’t have the opportunity to make a fortune now, I may not be able to succeed by following the steps. I am still young and cannot take this risk.

Liu Xian took a step forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for me to do this. I am too young and have too little experience in this regard, so I think it is more appropriate to leave this matter to Lord Chen Sihai of Tongzhengsi.

"Lord Chen Sihai is fair and upright, praised by the government and the public, and is also very famous outside. It is perfect for him to do this."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao took a deep look at Liu Xian.

Faced with such an opportunity, Liu Xian was not moved, and being able to keep thinking so calmly is indeed a talent. Very good.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Then do what you said."

After hearing this, Liu Xian hurriedly said, "I thank Your Majesty!"

After thinking about it, Liu Xian looked up at Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, what's happening here in Xianghe?"

"Don't worry," Zhu Youxiao said directly: "Don't be alerted. Come here to see how they are doing when they come back."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Xian quickly agreed.

Liu Xian also knew that the emperor did this not to let these people go, but to bury a nail here and look back at how these people deal with this matter.

If you are not satisfied, someone will be in trouble.

Zhu Youxiao did think so. Even if he dealt with these people in Xianghe, it would be meaningless to Zhu Youxiao. After all, there is a game of chess in the country, so these little shrimps will let them go, just use them to make a chess piece and look back at the effect.

After hearing this, Ma Qiandao felt a little disappointed.

Since Your Majesty does not deal with these people, it seems that he has no chance to make meritorious performance. What should I do?

Although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say it out.

Who are the people present? Where is the place where the Jinyiwei and hundreds of households speak?

For the people present, he is the least present person.

However, he was still noticed, and this person was Wei Chao.

After looking at Ma Qiandao, Wei Chao came to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Emperor, what we did this time is kept secret and no one knows. But for the sake of Xianghe, the emperor exposed his identity. Although the emperor cares about the people and loves the people as much as his son, the leak of his identity must not be ignored. If there is any lack of safety in the emperor because of this incident, then the servant will definitely die and will not be able to redeem his sins."

While speaking, Wei Chao glanced at Ma Qiandao.

Ma Qiandao felt that his heart was about to jump out, and naturally all the thoughts just now were gone, and his face was almost crying.

Eunuch Wei, you won’t be so? Is it because you didn’t give you face just now?

But I can't pretend to be stupid. Besides, I wouldn't have thought that this is the emperor! You are going to kill me to silence me, right?

Why is this? Why is this?

Wei Chao looked at Ma Qiandao with a smile, looking very kind, but no matter how he said this, he didn't sound kind.

Ma Qiandao felt so regretful. Why did he do so smart? Wouldn't you behave like a fool?

Zhu Youxiao glared at Wei Chao and said, "What are you talking about? Do you want to kill Ma Qiandao?"

"Emperor, what I mean is that I might as well let him follow us, right?" Wei Chao said quickly: "If you let him follow, it will be more convenient if you have anything to do. After all, you may have to deal with the Jinyiwei in other places."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "It makes sense."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Ma Qiandao and said, "Okay, come with me. As for the matter of Jinyiwei, I will leave it to your subordinates first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ma Qiandao quickly agreed.
