The demolition activities in Fuzhou Prefecture were in full swing.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Basically, all the places that the Fuzhou government had ordered to be demolished were going very smoothly.
The commoners were delighted.
They watched as their dilapidated old house was razed to the ground and received a generous amount of silver.
Each and every one of them shouted that Meng Yin was their second parent!
Almost every day, there would be people shouting that Meng Yin was a good official. There was no one better than him in the world!
In fact…
Some commoners were even more exaggerated.
They would directly turn Meng Yin's portrait into a clay figurine and worship him in their homes. Every day, they would burn a few incense sticks and worship him…
What was even more exaggerated was that many commoners had young girls in their families who wanted to go to Meng Yin's manor to be slaves and maidservants to repay Meng Yin's kindness to their family.
Of course.
There were also many women who dreamed that if they could be taken in by Meng Yin, even if they could get the title of a concubine, that would be their ancestors smoking!
The entire Fuzhou Prefecture's commoners had already revered Meng Yin as a god-like existence.
Even in their eyes, the contributions Meng Yin had made for the commoners had already surpassed that of their Emperor.
The commoners 'thoughts were that simple.
Whoever could let them live a good life must be a peerless good person!
......
Gradually.
The scene in Fuzhou Prefecture also settled down.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards who were hiding in Fuzhou Prefecture knew that their mission had come to an end.
It was time to return to the capital and report everything that had happened to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Sigh."
Xu Biao let out a long sigh.
Just like the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him, they looked at the new appearance of Fuzhou Prefecture with complicated expressions in their eyes.
They probably didn't expect that after a few short months, they would actually feel attached to this place!
"Boss, are we going back just like this? Why don't you stay and observe for a while? Perhaps he hadn't found anything else.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards said reluctantly.
Xu Biao's eyes darkened and he said angrily,""You actually dare to have such thoughts. Have you forgotten that we have the emperor's orders? Have you forgotten what the Jinyiwei's duty is?”
"No matter how good the Fuzhou Prefecture is now, it's not something you can stay just because you want to!”
Although Xu Biao said it so firmly, how could he not be tempted?
After a moment of silence, Xu Biao's eyes returned to normal.
"Let's go back to the capital!"
......
The Brocade Guard rode back to the capital.
Very quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the commander of the Jinyiwei, Xu Biao, into the palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and let him get up.
"What information have the Jinyiwei found in the past few months in Fuzhou? Tell me about it."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Xu Biao replied,""Your Majesty, Fuzhou has changed greatly. Many things have happened in the past few months.”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said,"I guess Fuzhou Fu should be transformed to be similar to Pei County."”
Xu Biao said," Your Majesty, not only that, this subordinate has been to Pei County. I feel that the current Fuzhou Prefecture is so large that it will definitely become one of the top prefectures in Ming Dynasty in the future!"”
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite pleased.
"In this way, the people of Fu Prefecture will have a good life. Meng Yin's contribution this time is not small.”
Speaking of the commoners, Xu Biao's expression changed, and there was a hint of yearning in his tone.
"Yes, the people of Fuzhou Prefecture are probably the happiest group of people in the entire Ming Dynasty.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang revealed a trace of doubt.
He felt that even if the Fuzhou Prefecture had changed greatly, it was not to the extent that the people in the entire region were living extremely blissful lives, right?
Moreover…
He stared speechlessly at Xu Biao's face, which could not help but reveal a touch of envy.
What was going on?
Why did the Jinyiwei people go there for a few months and still miss it?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy.
No matter how well the Fuzhou Prefecture was developing, it had only just begun construction.
Could it be better than the capital under the feet of the emperor?
Humph!
Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips, feeling a little unconvinced.
He then asked Xu Biao,"Then tell me how happy the people are now."”
Actually…
He was already thinking silently in his heart. Wasn't it just building some houses in the neighborhood and then building some large areas for eating, drinking, and playing?
What's so great about it?
When the national treasury was filled, he could also change the capital!
He copied Meng Yin's method.
At that time.
The capital under the feet of the emperor is definitely a hundred times more prosperous than Fuzhou Prefecture and Pei County!
However…
He had never expected that the answer Xu Biao gave him this time was different from what he had thought. He did not mention how good the place where the commoners lived was or how novel it had become.
Instead, he said,"Your Majesty, the people of Fuzhou Prefecture are all rich now. Each of them has a sum of silver."”
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with great confusion.
He didn't understand why this was happening.
Why did all the commoners become rich?
Then, he asked," Could it be that as the intelligence report said, the Fuzhou government is building a large infrastructure, so every citizen has benefited?”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little strange after asking this question.
That didn't mean that everyone in Fuzhou Prefecture had become rich, right?
That was not possible.
As expected.
Xu Biao hurriedly said,""Your Majesty, the people of Fuzhou government can't make that much money by building a large infrastructure.”
"And everyone has at least a few dozen taels of silver.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.
If each person had dozens of taels of silver, then how terrifying would the number of people in the entire Fuzhou Prefecture be?？？
"What's going on?" he asked hurriedly.”
Xu Biao said,"Your Majesty, Meng Yin is holding a large number of demolition activities in Fuzhou.”
"It is precisely because of this that the commoners received silver taels for the demolition. Each household received about ten taels.”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously,"What is demolition?"”
He felt that every time the Embroidered Uniform Guards came back to report, they would hear some names and words that he had never heard of.
He really did not know how many new things Meng Yin would bring him that he had never heard of.
Xu Biao explained to the dumbfounded Zhu Yuanzhang," Your Majesty, the so-called demolition is to demolish all the houses on some land in Fuzhou Prefecture and take the entire land into the government.”
"Then, the local people can get a sum of compensation, or they can demolish their houses to offset the money, and then get some subsidies.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
This was the first time he heard of trading old for new.
This was too generous!
However…
What Zhu Yuanzhang cared about the most was what Xu Biao had just said. Every citizen in Fuzhou had dozens of taels of silver in their hands. This was the main point!
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled and asked,"Where did Meng Yin get the money he gave to the people?"”
