Chapter 539 How about we go and get the money too?

Deng Chushan obediently stood up, sat down with half his buttocks, and waited for Zhu Jun's instructions.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Jun was helpless and said: "I am conducting a secret visit this time. Please don't reveal my identity."

Undercover visit?

Deng Chushan smiled bitterly in his heart. Thunderstorms hit Yangzhou and Suzhou one after another. It was probably the result of this man's secret visit.

Both places are not very far from Songjiang Prefecture. In addition, there are many merchants on this route, so the information is very good.

The so-called imperial envoy is probably the same man.

What a great trick, my identity has been exposed until now.

However, it is very likely that there are two lines, and there may really be such an imperial envoy secretly.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions!"

"When it comes to the tidal flats, be careful because there are pirates causing trouble behind your back. I haven't been here long, but there is something fishy about this matter.

I have seen all the official documents outside the yamen, and you also talked to the village gossips about this matter.

It stands to reason that this is a win-win situation.

It is normal to have some die-hards, but not all people in a dozen fishing villages will resist.

I also went to visit the fishing village, and the life could only be considered poor, far from being rich, so they had no reason to refuse.

If it's because you enriched your own pockets and deprived yourself of the benefits, that's possible.

But when I saw it today, it shouldn't be the case.

I also heard that some large households in the city are hoarding houses and driving up prices.

These two things may or may not be related.

But what I'm most worried about are the pirates.

Qian Hegao, who is the king and hegemon in Ningbo Prefecture, is from Songjiang Prefecture."

"Your Highness is saying that there may be pirates in Qianjia Village?"

"I'm just guessing." Zhu Jun said: "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Giving money, land, and houses is such a good thing that even big families will be tempted, let alone these fishermen who have been poor all their lives?

Even if they dare to secretly go fishing in the sea without starving to death, they will never make a fortune.

So, there must be a problem here.

The sea is a treasure mountain, water can be diverted to boil sea salt, and sea trade can also be carried out.

Observe these days and see who in each village has not moved out.

Excluding those old stubborns, there must be something wrong with the rest!"

Deng Chushan's expression became solemn, "Yes, I understand."

"Don't be too nervous. Next, I will stay in Songjiang Mansion secretly to assist you in your work.

In addition, the navy will come to the seaside for secret training in the near future, and then an area will be allocated to me as a training base for the navy." Zhu Jun said.

"Navy base?" Deng Chushan took a breath, "Does His Highness want to use Songjiang Mansion as a fiefdom?"

"No, this is a direct-controlled government. How can it be my king's fiefdom?" Zhu Jun shook his head, "When the time comes, I will ask for an imperial edict from my father. You just have to act in accordance with the imperial edict. I won't make it difficult for you.

I will secretly clean up the pirates and thieves in Songjiang Mansion, and then all the credit will be credited to you."

"I don't dare!"

"Don't you dare? You have to cooperate with me to do this. My men haven't arrived yet. They are sweeping all the way from Yangzhou. It won't be long before they sweep here." Zhu Jun said calmly.

"These days, I have wiped out the mountain bandits and sea bandits, and there are not even 10,000 but 8,000 people. You can take advantage of the benefits given to you."

But if you dare to reveal my identity, your prefect will be doomed."

Deng Chushan swallowed and suddenly understood.

King Wu was secretly training his troops to attack pirates and mountain bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court must have known about this.

As King Wu said, this is indeed a credit, and if done well, it will be beneficial to the entire environment.

"Your Highness even dared to reveal His Highness's identity even if he borrowed ten of his courage from me!" Deng Chushan said.

"Very good. You can do whatever you need to do on weekdays. Just pretend that I haven't come. We don't want to have too much contact." Zhu Jun stood up and said, "Go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first. If you have any follow-up actions, please let me know." Writing to you.

If you have any questions, you can send someone to see me!"

Then he asked Shen Erbao to give Deng Chushan an address before leaving.

"I'll send it to you."

"Stop." Zhu Jun smiled and left with Shen Erbao.

After Zhu Jun left, Deng Chushan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not done anything excessive, otherwise King Wu would not have spoken to him so warmly this time.

He needs to be more careful in what he does.

After leaving the magistrate's office, Li Xiangjun said: "Brother Li seems to be in a good mood!"

"With you by my side, I'm naturally in a good mood!" Zhu Jun smiled lightly.

Li Xiangjun smiled and said: "It is said that the Longmen Temple in Songjiang is very efficacious. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Zhu Jun nodded, "Let's go."

The next day, after a night, those who had taken the money put aside their uneasiness and ran to the government office to register for renting a house. Everything went smoothly.

Moreover, the house they rented is better than the one they live in now, and they are too embarrassed to move the belongings in their home.

As soon as the news spread, the people in the fishing village couldn't sit still. They all took their household registration certificates and ran to the prefect's Yamen to get their money.

Land division is also in progress, and a large part of the extra land is reclaimed wasteland.

The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are fertile. Although there are many people, there is still a lot of land that has not been developed.

It is enough to accommodate these people.

Moreover, the development was all carried out by the yamen organization, and the Guantian logo was uniformly inserted.

In addition, the great cause of founding the country has not yet passed, and those wealthy landlords and officials do not dare to annex land blatantly. After all, Lao Zhu's deterrence is still very strong.

If another thirty to fifty years pass, even the wasteland will be annexed.

The first batch of people in Qianjia Village who were allotted land with money could not help but feel happy when they saw the reclaimed land. Although it was not upper land, it was still middle land. Three acres of land per person was enough.

Coupled with the compensation money, it was enough for them to counterattack and change their lives.

Who wants to continue fishing in the sea and become a fisherman smelling fishy?

Everyone was smiling and no longer doubted the court or the government.

Once the news spread, people in other villages went crazy.

If you don't catch this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, you'd be a fool.

But even so, the benefits are not over, and the third wave of pie is coming.

In the newly opened market, some houses have been completed, each with six floors.

They are all brick houses, spacious and bright, and have been plastered with lime powder. As long as doors and windows are installed, you can move in.

This environment, even if it is not completed, is still a hundred times better than the one they lived in before!

Because they are the first batch, they can choose their own house.

At this time, all the people in Qianjia Village were smiling and praising the court and the Yamen.

But when the news reached the ears of the old village chief, things changed.
Chapter completed!
