This is the reason why Xiong Rulin, Zhang Guowei and Zhang Huangyan looked at each other and laughed at each other.

These people gathered together and ended up being the Northern Expedition.

Now that the finance department is facing the danger of collapse, since this invisible approach can be used to resolve the danger, why not?

So they were laughing and sighing in their hearts that only Wu Zheng could think of and do such a rogue but clever approach.

"I agree." Xiong Rulin stood up and said.

"I agree." Zhang Guowei stood up and said.

"I agree." Zhang Huangyan stood up and said.

"The Lord agrees." Everyone stood up and said.

Wu Zheng smiled. He knew that there were actually many of them that he didn't agree with, but is this still important?

Wherever the momentum is, the blocker will be rolled into powder.

....

This is the first time that the Congress of Representatives of this scale has been held under Wu Zheng.

Although Wu Zheng decided a major event related to the future development of this force in a very strong tone.

But it has to be said that all the chief officials of the county under their jurisdiction participated.

It is very important to participate! Wu Zheng made a good start.

After the meeting, Zhang Huangyan smiled and complained: "Okay, Wu Zheng, everything has been planned. I'll wait for the final announcement before summoning us to discuss. Is it a suspicion of stealing the bell?"

Zhang Guowei also said: "What the general is really smart. But when you think about it carefully, it is indeed less to stipulate that the upper limit of three acres is indeed a bit less. It is not that Zhang wants to occupy more land. But for officials, the house represents everyone's identity, and the upper limit of three acres may be achieved by ordinary businessmen. If this regulation is enforced in a tough manner, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the officials below."

Xiong Rulin said: "The general solved the financial difficulties with this strategy, and the officials admired him. The officials believed that the city wall regulations of the new city were at least slightly inferior to Yingtian Mansion, but the money obtained from selling land was probably not enough to build a four-sided city wall of such a size in the new city?"

Only Mo Zhinian kept smiling and not talking. In fact, he didn't know why Wu Zheng had to set a three-acre upper limit, even he included it himself.

This is how Wu Zheng explained to everyone.

He first said to Zhang Huangyan: "From the beginning to the announcement today, the plan lasted only three days, and the cause was only for the financial department's embarrassment, and it was not that it had already made plans in advance, but was concealed from the public."

Then he said to Zhang Guowei: "It is indeed a little less to set the upper limit of three acres. I only have two purposes. One is to make this matter public today, which will inevitably lead to sudden leaks of news. In this way, officials with wealthy families or strong behind will quickly purchase and enclose land on Songjiang Prefecture, which will cause losses to ordinary people due to poor information and lag behind. Although we cannot eliminate unfairness, as long as the upper limit is stipulated, officials can be effectively curbed and the rich can occupy land unscrupulously.

Second, instead of making the people of the six governments feel unfair, it is better to make the officials feel unfair. On this point, everyone knows that my ideas and wishes are relatively fair, and I will do my best to promote fairness. Of course, I have also considered the rights and interests of officials. Each person can get a ration of one acre of low-priced land, which is to ensure their basic interests. In addition, after the real move to the new city and the situation stabilizes, the upper limit of these three acres can also be adjusted appropriately, but now it must be strictly implemented."

Turning his head, Wu Zheng said to Xiong Rulin seriously: "About the city wall, I want to ask Lord Xiong, is it okay to not build a city wall in the new city?"

Can it be possible to not build a new city wall?

These words made the few people instantly petrified.

I'm afraid from ancient times to the present, no city has no walls.

Even if a small county town or just a key pass, a city wall will be built.

How to resist foreign enemies without building a city wall?

How to give the residents in the city a sense of security and belonging?

How to show the majesty and strength of power to the world?

Xiong Rulin was indeed asked by Wu Zheng.

He even regretted why he mentioned the city wall, because he could see from Wu Zheng's eyes that although Wu Zheng was asking, he had actually made a decision.

Xiong Rulin almost subconsciously replied: "The general must not be so casual. Since the new city has been built and will be the capital of the general's mansion, the city wall is absolutely indispensable."

Sure enough, Wu Zheng's voice sounded, "No. The city wall can be not built. Everyone knows that the cost of building a city wall is huge. At least at present, the money required to spend on a city wall that accommodates a million people is not something that the General's Mansion can afford. On the other hand, even if it can be afforded, I think this huge amount of money can be spent on the construction of roads, houses, various public facilities in the city and the expansion of military preparations."

"It has been proven from ancient times to the present. No matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot truly resist the invasion of foreign enemies and the corruption inside. The solid city wall can indeed make people feel safe, but this also breeds comfort and corruption. The Qin Emperor built the Great Wall, and Qin II died. Duoduo once mocked the Ming Dynasty for this. No matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot stop the cavalry of the Qing army. Moving the capital north to the front line is not just a gesture to show the world, but I hope that we are adjacent to danger and always remember the Northern Expedition in our hearts. Dukes, human nature is lazy and greedy for comfort. We must always remember the four words "forget the war and be dangerous."

"The best defense is to attack and defend the enemy from outside is the real purpose of my decision to move to the Han Dynasty at Wusongkou. If we are not at ease, we will not be able to be at ease, and the people under our rule cannot be at ease. Only when the upper and lower levels are not at ease can we maintain fighting spirit at all times, think about the Northern Expedition, and think about our huge territory that has not yet been restored."

Wu Zheng's words made Xiong Rulin, Zhang Guowei, and Zhang Huangyan not obsessed with awe.

At this time, even if there are flaws, it doesn't matter anymore.

The four of them bowed together and replied: "I dare not forget the ambition of the Northern Expedition for a day. We must work together to participate in the grand event."

....

The next day, the General's Mansion informed the six governments that they would draw out Songjiang government 200 miles around Wusong Port, and re-establish Huating County to establish a yamen and build a city, which would be the General's Mansion.

For a time, a wave of migration occurred among the people, and this was the first wave of migration. The main people were not ordinary people, but wealthy businessmen and gentry families from all over the country.

They have the strength to take the lead and snatch the land.

However, the influence of this migration wave is limited because the government strictly controls the upper limit of three acres of land deeds.

However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below, and many people still use various methods to avoid this iron rule.

For example, dividing the family is to avoid this iron rule and the most effective method.

Strangely, the General's Office did not interpret or supplement the regulations, but ignored them and did not respond at all.
