Zhu Yu explained helplessly.
"That's what I said, but Xi'an Prefecture is not your real fiefdom after all. I just let you manage it temporarily. If you want to, mother won't stop you, but don't do anything out of line!"
But Concubine Gao clearly felt that Zhu Yu was hiding something from her. The main reason was that this trip to Xi'an Prefecture was too sudden. Something must have happened in Xi'an Prefecture!
In addition, the second son, Qin Wang Zhu Chong, had made Xi'an Prefecture a mess. She was also worried that Zhu Yu would get into trouble!
"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on. I'll just come back to tell you!"
"If there is no other instructions, I'll set off now!".
Zhu Yu didn't waste any words. After giving the instructions, he was ready to leave directly.
"Just remember what I said, don't be impulsive!"
Gao Guifei looked at Zhu Yu's back and reminded him again with concern.
Zhu Yu didn't even turn his head, but just raised his hand and waved, indicating that he heard it! ...
Xi'an Prefecture.
Thousands of cavalrymen arrived outside the gate of Xi'an Prefecture!
The Chinese character flags in the team that fluttered in the wind looked very abrupt outside Xi'an City. Needless to say, these were all the personal guards of Prince Su!
Zhu Yu, wearing a dragon robe, rode a horse with a swagger, and appeared at the front of the team. He was so conspicuous! "I, Liu Dong, the defender of Xi'an City, pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Su!"
The generals guarding the city led a group of soldiers to pay their respects and greet him! "Liu Qiwei, do you know why I came to Xi'an this time?"
Zhu Li was riding on the wind-chasing horse, looking down at the guard in front of him, and asked lightly.
"I don't know!"
Although Liu Dong said so, he probably had a guess in his heart! Of course, smart people will definitely not say it directly, playing dumb is definitely the best choice!
If things are really as he guessed, he doesn't want to get involved too deeply, maybe he will get into trouble!
After all, as the guard of Xi'an City, he will be more or less involved with various forces in Xi'an City!
"It doesn't matter, you will know soon!"
Hearing this, Zhu Li just smiled, rode his horse, and led his personal guards directly into Xi'an City!
After taking over Xi'an Prefecture, Zhu Li issued a series of decrees!
Most of these decrees are copied from Ganzhou Prefecture, and some aspects are even stricter than Ganzhou Prefecture! After all, Ganzhou Prefecture is right under his nose, so there won’t be any trouble!
But Xi’an Prefecture is different. In troubled times, heavy punishments are needed. Moreover, the second son Zhu Chong has messed up Xi’an Prefecture before, so drastic reforms are necessary! After his series of decrees were issued, the effect was naturally immediate!
But then again, there are always a few ‘smart people’ who are not afraid of death. They think that Prince Su Zhu Jian is not in Xi’an Prefecture anyway, so they thinkWant to fish in troubled waters! And Zhu Yan has always been a person who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes!
This time, Zhu Yan came to Xi'an Prefecture for three things! The first thing is to confiscate the house, the second thing is still to confiscate the house, and the third thing is still to confiscate the house!
It's just that the confiscation is not the same family!
However, Zhu Yan did not take action at the first time, but went directly to the Qin Wang Mansion!
"Second brother really knows how to enjoy it!"
Looking at the magnificent Qin Wang Mansion in front of him, which is not inferior to the Yingtianfu Palace, Zhu Yan couldn't help but sigh! Once Qin Wang Zhu Chong built a lot of buildings and expanded his Qin Wang Mansion to be as luxurious as the palace, he was severely reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But at that time, he was scolded for this matter, and there was no actual punishment! Moreover, Zhu Chong is still the kind of person who remembers to eat but not to be beaten, and he didn't take it seriously at all. He still does his own thing on weekdays!
But this time, the old man was obviously really angry and directly recalled Zhu Chong to Yingtian! And it has been more than half a year, and he still hasn't come back! Now even Xi'an Prefecture has been handed over to Zhu Yan to manage!
And it is estimated that the King of Qin will not be able to come back in the future, because the old man wants to change his fiefdom, which is a bit intriguing! Today's Qin Wang Mansion, although it is so big, there are only a few servants still in it, which is responsible for daily cleaning!
Originally, the Qin Wangfei and the Qin Wang's family were still there, but for some reason, after the New Year, they were all packed up and taken back to Yingtian by the old man! Looking at this posture, the second brother may really be replaced by another fiefdom!
But it's good this way. Now the Qin Wang Mansion has become his Zhu Yan, including the two long historians appointed by the court to the Qin Wang Mansion, and they must also obey him Zhu Yan!
The reason why Zhu Jian came to the Qin Wang Mansion was mainly to check the account books!
The tax accounts of Xi'an Prefecture are in the hands of the Chief Secretary!
Zhu Jian said he wanted to see it, and the Chief Secretary had to hand it over obediently!
What Zhu Jian wanted to check was mainly the gentry and nobles in Xi'an Prefecture! Among these gentry and nobles, more or less, they are involved in the salt business, mainly because the refined salt of Ganzhou Prefecture is so popular, and no one is willing to give up such a big piece of cake! Xi'an Prefecture is so close to Ganzhou Prefecture, even more so! However, according to the latest salt merchant tax promulgated by the Ming Dynasty, 10% of the 100% must be paid, and there are many blind people among these gentry and nobles. They took risks and seemed to be sure that the Su Wang would not come to check the accounts at all, and they actually started to evade taxes!
But as long as Zhu Jian started to investigate strictly, few of these big families could withstand the investigation! No investigation, no investigation at all! Before coming to Xi'an Prefecture, Zhu Yu had already identified several families with the most serious situations. He was not joking when he said he was going to confiscate their property!
But at the same time, Zhu Yu also wanted to check how many other families were involved in the same corruption!
The results of this investigation were even more shocking!
None of them were good people!
Xi'anThe curfew was not lifted before the prefecture, and Zhu Li had no intention of lifting it before he had sorted out the mess in Xi'an Prefecture. To develop the economy, he had to wait until all the shit in Xi'an Prefecture was cleared up first!
So, that night, Xi'an Prefecture, which should have been silent, became lively!
The whole street was brightly lit, and the armored guards of Prince Su could be seen everywhere! Thousands of soldiers were armed with swords, swords, and crossbows, wandering among the major families in Xi'an Prefecture, "sending warmth" from house to house! Until the next morning, after the curfew was lifted, the people of the whole city heard about something! The Wei family, the Feng family, and the Zhang family were actually raided overnight!
You have to know that these three families are the richest and most powerful families in the entire Xi'an Prefecture!
This news directly shocked the entire city of Xi'an, and spread rapidly to the surrounding areas at the fastest speed!
Especially the Zhang family, because of a scuffle with the Ganzhou army, a soldier accidentally fell to the ground and was seriously injured, and the whole family was directly wiped out! Who would have thought that after Su Wang Zhu Yan arrived in Xi'an Prefecture, he could make such a big fuss?
It turned out that this Su Wang came to Xi'an Prefecture just to confiscate the family!
For a time, the whole Xi'an Prefecture was in a state of panic, and those noble families who also participated in tax evasion were almost scared to death!
Although their crimes were lighter than those of the three families whose families were confiscated and exterminated, they only escaped this disaster after paying a huge price! There is no way, if you don't want to die, you can only spend money to avoid disaster!
The fate of the Wei family, the Feng family, and the Zhang family is the best example. Su Wang Zhu Yan's killing of the chicken to scare the monkey can also be said to have scared all the noble families in Xi'an Prefecture!
But soon, another explosive news came out, which scared all the noble families! Because the army of Prince Su actually found a lot of armor from the Wei family, Feng family and Zhang family!
These are well-made armors, which also shocked everyone!
Are you sure that the armor was found from the three noble families? You know, in the Ming Dynasty, if you privately hide some weapons and other things, it is not a particularly big crime, but privately hiding armor is a serious crime. Beheading is a light punishment. Maybe you have to be charged with rebellion and your entire family will be implicated!
Even before the Ming Dynasty, the courts of all dynasties had strict control over armor!
Because this thing can only be owned by regular troops!
If you dare to hide it privately, you will definitely be looking for death! The noble families in Xi'an Prefecture all knew that these armors could not belong to those three families, but Prince Su Zhu insisted that these things were found from these three families!
Now that the yellow mud has fallen into the crotch, it must be shit! Everyone can see that Prince Su is just trying to find a pretext to accuse someone! For a moment, all the noble families in Xi'an Prefecture were silent. Even though everyone knew everything, they did not dare to raise any doubts, for fear that they would beHis family also hid armor for no apparent reason! In fact, Zhu Li's approach was not that smart, and it could be said that he framed someone without hiding it!
He just wanted to tell everyone in this way that in this northwest land, from now on, whatever he, the Prince Su Zhu Li, said was what it was! No one had the qualifications to disobey his orders! Of course, if you are stubborn enough, you can also give it a try! "Your Highness, if we do this, those aristocratic families will temporarily stop their movements, but I'm afraid they will not accept it!"
Seeing that everything seemed to be settled, Geng Qing reminded Zhu Li softly.
"Not convinced?"
"If they have the guts, they can go and sue me!"
Zhu Li sneered disapprovingly when he heard this...
Even if everyone knew that he was framing someone, so what? Shouldn't those people die? How many of these noble families dared to file a complaint in Beijing? Even if they did, what would happen? Zhu Yu could write a letter of apology to the old man overnight and actively admit his mistakes!
Could the old man really abolish him? Moreover, if the old man knew the reason, he might kill him even more cruelly than himself!
Do they dare?
Do they really think that Lord Hongwu is a good man and can make decisions for them?
In this way, under Zhu Yu's strong suppression, the tax evasion of the noble families in Xi'an Prefecture finally came to an end!
And under Zhu Yu's tyranny, those noble families not only paid a certain price to be preserved, but also had to swallow their anger and promise with a smile that they would definitely cooperate with any decree of Su Wang Zhu Yu in the future! Five days later.
Zhu Li directly transferred Geng Xuan from Ganzhou Prefecture to take over the defense of Xi'an City!
Since he came to Xi'an Prefecture, he naturally couldn't just do the house search! The work that should be done must also be implemented!
Including the garrison in Xi'an Prefecture, it must be controlled by his own people to make Zhu Li feel at ease!
In addition, he also asked people to survey the coal mines near Xi'an Prefecture. Although the coal reserves in Shaanxi are far less than those in Shanxi, there are definitely a lot! If I want to develop industry in Ganzhou, I will definitely need coal resources in the future!
Although there were basically few coal mines in Shaanxi during the Ming Dynasty, and most of them were not even known to anyone, Zhu Li had a mineral distribution map from later generations, so it was easy to find coal mines!
Since I'm here, I can't just go back like this!
After finding all the locations of these coal mines, you can arrange for your subordinates to take over. No matter what method you use, you must control these coal mines in your own hands!
In addition, Zhu Li also gave a plan for the future development of Xi'an Prefecture.
With this plan, as long as Geng Xuan can help him implement it in Xi'an Prefecture,That's it!
But in general, although the distance between Xi'an Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture is a little far, he is the Ghost King, and his speed is extraordinary. He can go back and forth once within a day, which is quite convenient!
After all the arrangements in Xi'an Prefecture were arranged, Zhu Yu returned to Ganzhou Prefecture with his men! ...
When he returned to Su Wangfu, it was evening.
At this time, the dinner in the palace had already been eaten, but Zhu Yu came back late!
"Go prepare dinner!"
As soon as Zhu Yu entered the door, he gave an order to his subordinates.
The family must have eaten, and they should have gone to bed at this time, but it's a pity that he hasn't eaten yet!
Zhu Yu has never wronged his five stomach temples, so naturally he has to wait until after dinner to rest! "Yi'er!"
4.5
Just then, Concubine Gao suddenly appeared in the yard.
"Mother, you haven't slept yet?"
Seeing that Concubine Gao hadn't rested so late, Zhu Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised!
"You just came back?"
Concubine Gao seemed to be worried. Zhu Yan had been in Xi'an for five days!
"Well, I just got home and thought you were all asleep!"
Zhu Yan smiled and nodded, but he felt helpless.
Looking at the worry in my mother's eyebrows, he probably guessed why she didn't sleep so late!
"Yi'er, what have you done in Xi'an for so many days?"
Concubine Gao couldn't help but ask.
In fact, she almost knew what Zhu Yu did in Xi'an Prefecture!
Not only her, but many people in Ganzhou have heard the news from Xi'an Prefecture! After all, such a big thing cannot be concealed!
And this matter will definitely spread to the court and the old man's ears in no time!
This is why Concubine Gao has not slept so late!
Knowing that her son went to Xi'an Prefecture to do so many things, how can she sleep? "My second brother was recalled to Yingtian by my father, leaving a mess!"
"Isn't the reason why I went to Xi'an Prefecture this time to help my second brother deal with these messes?"
Zhu Yu sighed in his heart, but smiled and explained indifferently on the surface.
"Deal with the mess? Is your way of dealing with it to confiscate the family and exterminate the whole family?"
"The extermination of the Zhang family has become a topic of conversation among the people of Ganzhou. Is this how you usually manage your fiefdom?".
