In the Ming Dynasty Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing a major event with Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Song Lian, Prince Zhu Biao and others, which was immigration.

Immigration there is Fengyang and Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown. We have said that Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to make his hometown well. He is a very nostalgic person.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown was still called Haozhou, and Fengyang was changed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the seventh year of Hongwu.

Everyone knows that Haozhou was not a wealthy place. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Years of war caused serious damage to Haozhou. A large number of people died and left their hometowns. There were basically not many people in Haozhou, and it was desolate.

In the 26th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown Haozhou to worship the graves of his ancestors and to entertain his elders. At that time, he had not ascended the throne to be the emperor. When interacting with everyone, he could still maintain a simple attitude and understand the harsh status quo of his hometown.

In May, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Nanjing and talked to officials in the Secretariat about his experiences in his hometown, saying: "I saw that the people were scarce and the fields were deserted. Since the military rise, the people died or moved to other counties, and they were not allowed to return to their hometowns, and their flesh and blood were separated and their careers were exhausted. I would rather have any complaints and sighs? The rise of complaints and sighs is enough to hurt the harmony."

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the officials to go down and conduct careful investigations and persuade the displaced people to return to their hometowns.

"The Deeds of the First Country" also mentioned that Zhu Yuanzhang once said to Prime Minister Li Shanchang like this: "Haozhou is my hometown. After the war, the people were scarce and the land was deserted. There were no fields in the world to cultivate. There were hundreds of thousands of villagers who were rich, and they lived in the villages of Haozhou, and gave them oxen grain seeds, so that they could reclaim wasteland forever. After a few years, wouldn't they be rich!"

Li Shanchang was from Dingyuan and was very close to Haozhou. Of course, he agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's idea and later sent a supervisor named Zhou Mou to take charge of the matter.

In the 27th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng and occupied Suzhou, and immediately moved some wealthy families in Suzhou to Haozhou Prefecture. On the one hand, it was necessary to supplement the lost population in Linhao and prosper the local economy according to the original idea.

On the other hand, most of these wealthy families were loyal subjects of Zhang Shicheng, and Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to punish them with this.

In December of the same year, Fang Guozhen surrendered, and many of the high-ranking officials he appointed were moved to Haozhou to live, including the left and right prime ministers, marshals, etc., with the same purpose.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was good, but we said that he brought all these rich people and officials to Haozhou, which in fact invisibly increased the burden on the people of Haozhou. Many people complained because Haozhou was short of manpower, and the people of Haozhou originally had endless hard work every day.

These things were also reflected in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears. Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and said that since there were not enough people, we would immigrate again. This time, we were immigrating the poor. In June of the third year of Hongwu, more than 4,000 landless poor people were moved from Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing, Huzhou and Hangzhou to Linhao, and distributed them abandoned abandoned fields, oxen and grain, and exempted them from taxes for three years. In the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang renamed Haozhou Prefecture to Zhongli Prefecture and established it as Zhongdu, where they built a new city.

There were enough people, but this new city was built, but there were not enough people. Now Zhu Yuanzhang and others were discussing to immigrate to Haozhou again. Liu Bowen suggested that he immigrate from Hongzhou, Weizhou and other places in Shanxi to the Zhongli Prefecture.

And this time the number of immigrants was very large, with a total of 8,238 households and a population of 39,349.

The reason for immigration was also considered by Li Shanchang, saying that the local area was easily invaded by the barbarians, while Hu Weiyong proposed that the government provide compensation to the immigrants, including donkey and cattle vehicles, cash and salt, cloth, clothes, etc.

Zhu Biao then said that the population of the Zhongli Prefecture has increased significantly. In order to maintain stability, elite troops could be drawn from Hangzhou, Jinhua and other places in Zhejiang to the Zhongli Prefecture to strengthen guards.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty handled political affairs very quickly, almost all officials, and a large immigrant of tens of thousands of people. At this time, the Ming ministers had already been clearly listed after less than an hour of discussion.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a little, and saw that everything was discussed and it went smoothly. Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the chair and smiled and said, "The matter is over, so let's treat everyone to a meal, but don't dislike four dishes and one soup."

When the emperor invited me to dinner, you said anyone who dared to dislike me, they would smile and said they would not. But just as they were about to eat, suddenly, a guard rushed in from outside.

That anxious spirit made Zhu Yuanzhang curse: "Feng Fenghuohuo, have you been burned by fire...?"

After being scolded by the emperor, the guards quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's a big deal. Someone came back with Zhu Qianhu's token. At this time, the man was outside the palace gate."

"Uncle Erhu's token?" Zhu Biao asked forward.

"Yes..." the guard nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed and said, "Immediately, someone will bring to our bedroom. Biao'er, come here, we won't leave you for dinner today, we have something to do today."

"No..." Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others also bowed and left.

Soon, Deng Shou was taken to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom by the palace guards and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom. Deng Shou saw Zhu Yuanzhang and quickly knelt down and shouted: "Thousand households Deng Shou met His Majesty."

"Plain, tell us what happened to Erhu. Why did you hold Erhu's token in your hand?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked anxiously, knowing that Zhu Erhu is Zhu Yuanzhang's third brother and is one of the people Zhu Yuanzhang cares about the most.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's anxious look, Deng Shou felt a little happy, because Deng Shou knew that he had finally reached his thigh this time, so Deng Shou felt at ease, so Deng Shou stood up with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, nothing happened to Zhu Qianhu, and Zhu Qianhu met mother and son."

"My mother and son meet?" Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked.

Zhu Biao took a surprise and asked, "What did you say?"

Deng Shou smiled again and bowed, "Bizhi said that Zhu Qianhu and his son met, and Mrs. Wang Dachun asked Beizhi to bring a letter to His Majesty. She was waiting for His Majesty to arrive at the foot of Dangtu Qingshan."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the name Wang Dachun, his eyes became wet. He quickly turned his back and wiped his tears and said, "Biao'er, prepare horses immediately. Let's go to the foot of Dangtu Qingshan...you need to prepare fast horses, you and we will go with you."

"Father, do you want to inform your mother?" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly and asked.

"No need, we both go first and take our mother back. At that time, Xiuying could also see that it was not convenient to take Xiuying on the way, and there was someone in the palace who needed to stay."

"I know, I will go and prepare the horse immediately." Zhu Biao hurriedly threw out the bedroom.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Deng Shou on the side: "Deng Qianhu, I will be lucky to have a trip to Dangtu Qingshan later...!"

"I wish to die for Your Majesty." Deng Shou knelt down suddenly. This slogan made Zhu Yuanzhang remember this Deng Shou, and later this Deng Shou also had a good end because of what happened today.
