Chapter 281 Speculations on the Town Property Case!

For several days, Zhu Jun conducted military training in a high profile.

Seeing this, the people in the city showed no emotion and looked numb.

And Xu An felt relieved when he saw that Zhu Jun really didn't care about anything.

The oppressed people were gradually released from the ban, but before that, a gag order was issued. If anyone dared to talk nonsense in front of Zhu Jun, the whole village would suffer.

When Wu Lang saw that Zhu Jun didn't care about Zhongdu's affairs, he secretly relaxed his vigilance.

Xue Yang was in charge of the supervision of Zhongdu every day as usual, but he went to see Zhu Jun every day to see him and ask for help, for fear that Zhu Jun would make some mistake here.

Zhu Jun understood that this was all surveillance.

In the blink of an eye, on the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, the Suzaku Army named by Zhu Jun was also transformed, standing like a javelin, walking in uniform steps, and everyone showed their ability.

They are all people who have escaped from famine and know that life is not easy now, so they work harder than ordinary people.

And Zhu Jun mixed with these people every day, and his temperament also changed a lot.

Everything he said and did was full of majesty, and he had the air of a true superior.

"Spring rain is as precious as oil, but this spring rain is too heavy!" Zhu Jun stood in the tent, and the heavy rain made puddles on the compacted ground.

"Your Highness, Colonel Song is here." Li Jiba opened the curtain and walked in.

Song Zhong, the captain of Fengyang Prefecture's Gongwei Division, before Lao Zhu came here, he told Song Zhong to listen to him.

"Let him in."

Soon, a muscular man in his early thirties walked in. He had an honest face, but his naive eyes revealed shrewdness.

"In this humble position, I see His Highness the King of Wu!" Song Zhong hurriedly greeted him.

"Captain Song, no courtesy!" Zhu Jun smiled. On the second day after coming to Fengyang, Song Zhong came to see him. Although Lao Zhu asked him to take orders from him, this man was not easy to deal with. He was respectful on the surface, but actually very polite on the inside.

Have an idea.

He tried to deploy people several times but resisted.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Song Zhong stood up, and then said: "The matter that Your Highness asked me to investigate before has already been revealed!"

With that said, he took out a sealed letter and handed it to Zhu Jun.

The letter was a bit thick to begin with. Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Sit down and drink a cup of ginger tea to go away the cold!"

Song Zhong did not refuse. After spending a month with Zhu Jun, he came to understand his character to a certain extent.

Knowing that he was an informal person, and that he also wanted to sell well, I focused on his relationship with the prince and made friends with him, which would definitely be of great use in the future.

Zhu Jun walked up to the top, opened the letter and read it carefully. The contents of the letter were roughly the major events that happened during the construction from the second year of Shenwu to the tenth year of Shenwu.

In the second year of Shenwu, Lao Zhu decided to build the Central Capital and the Central Palace on the southern slope of Shishili Mountain in the west of Haozhou. Almost all civil servants in the world opposed it.

The data also showed that Liu Ji was the most fiercely opposed.

But these are normal. Apart from Lao Zhu, is there any other emperor in Fengyang?

Unlike Chang'an, Xianyang and other places, which have historical significance and strategic location, Fengyang Zhongdu was decided by Lao Zhu on a whim and the Huaixi generals.

But what Zhu Jun wants to see is not this, but the problems hidden behind it.

Li Shanren said that after Wang Dayang became prime minister, he deliberately suppressed the Huaixi people and withheld food, which made these migrant workers angry and then carried out massacres inside.

This damn chastity is just lying to a fool.

Even if the craftsmen hate him, do they have the courage? Even if they hate Lao Zhu very much, do the craftsmen need to risk their lives?

After Lao Zhu knew about this, he would never show mercy when killing people. Can they do it?

Therefore, Zhu Jun thought, the leader must be some officials or even senior officials, and the craftsmen are just the executors, but who are these officials?

First, officials from the eastern Zhejiang line.

Moving the capital to Fengyang is equivalent to moving the base camp to the home field of Huaixi, and they will have no home field advantage.

Don't underestimate these four hundred miles. Think about another world. When Yongle moved the capital, those Jiangnan officials acted like their dead parents and tried their best to stop it.

If Beiping Mansion had not been his fiefdom, he had been operating it for many years, and the town property case had broken out, and he had had the foresight to successfully move the capital to Beiping Mansion, the probability of success would have been less than 60%.

Therefore, there must be shadows of officials from eastern Zhejiang in this.

Second, Meng Yuan surrendered his ministers.

The Mongolian and Yuan dynasty surrendered ministers. These people were always dissatisfied with Lao Zhu's origin.

When the puppet Emperor Shun of the Meng Yuan Dynasty fled north, he was accompanied by many Confucian disciples and officials, all of whom hated the "peasant uprising".

And are there no people left in the "Central Plains"?

There must be.

Third, there may be traces of Zhang Zhou and Cheng Han in this.

Because after moving the capital to Fengyang, it further threatened the two countries. With convenient waterways, you can directly reach their borders, or even... drive straight in!

Furthermore, they don’t see a great cause.

Fourth, officials who established their capital in Fengyang harmed the interests of Fengyang officials.

Officials in Fengyang area were the foundation of Lao Zhu's founding of the country, so their "land annexation" target must also be Fengyang!

If Fengyang were to build the capital, it would do great harm to their own material interests.

So Tang Ding reminded him, and Li Shanren also reminded him that they all knew about this matter. Maybe they had fully supported it at the beginning, but it was a waste of money and money.

When Lao Zhu shouted the slogan of establishing the capital in Fengyang and returning home in rich clothes, did they dare not agree?

If they don't agree, why don't the folks poke their backs?

So they can only go with the flow.

And when these forces intervened, they looked at it coldly, or even added fuel to the fire.

Because in the end when things come out, it will only be these poor craftsmen who will die!

Even the floods in Fengyang are probably caused by man-made disasters.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun felt a chill in his heart.

After reading all the information for a long time, he finally came to the conclusion that his guess was correct.

In his previous life, he studied the case of Zhongdu in the Ming Dynasty and found it very strange. The final result was that the emperor killed more than a thousand craftsmen in anger, and Zhongdu, which had cost countless people, was officially abandoned.

Before this, an imperial edict was even issued to move the capital.

And will all the great entrepreneurs make the same mistake again?

Zhu Jun put down the information in his hands and could only talk about personnel matters and obey fate, but he would never take the blame.

"I didn't expect that so many things happened during the construction of Zhongdu!" Zhu Jun sighed, "You have worked hard!"

"It is a humble duty to share the worries of His Highness!" Song Zhong said quickly.

"Yes, I will definitely give you a performance and praise you!" Zhu Jun winked, and Shen Dabao hurriedly came over with a box in his arms.

Song Zhong didn't know why, "Your Highness, this is..."

"This king gives you a personal reward and full support for Fengyang Archguard Division!" Zhu Jun said with a smile.

"I don't dare to do this for a humble job!" Song Zhong refused quickly, joking, there might not be a thousand taels of silver in such a big box.
