Chapter 540 The house in the capital
Dorgon and his team retreated in a hurry, and this time it was a peaceful negotiation, so there was no damage to the major buildings in the capital. When Zhu Cixuan led his people to patrol the capital the next day, he felt very satisfied.
After Dorgon and his friends drove away Li Zicheng, they thought they could enter the Central Plains, so they did not change much about the original structure of the capital. Instead, they repaired some damaged areas, which led to the general outline of the Forbidden City in the future.
"It seems that the Qing people did not have any credit. The entire imperial city looks much more majestic and spectacular than before, and it should be all painted again."
Standing outside the imperial city, Zhu Cilang can be said to be inspired.
This body has lived in this place since childhood. If there was no such change, she would still be the prince now. How could she run to the south for a walk?
It is impossible to have millions of tiger and wolf troops. Now Zhu Cilang is sitting in the Golden Palace, so he should be more confident and domineering than before.
"What the Prince said is that the Qing people just asked me about the people. The Qing people spent a total of about five million yuan to repair the palace, including the major palaces. They spent a lot of money. I guess when they did this, they didn't expect to hand it over to us so quickly. They lived there for less than a year."
Hu Qiang said happily that when the sun rose today, he sent 5,000 soldiers to the palace, and now he has searched everything inside and outside.
All the eunuchs and palace maids inside were driven out. These people were all remnants of the previous dynasty. How could they continue to live here? If a threat was posed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this would not be a trivial matter. Many of them were even arrested in prison.
When Li Zicheng entered the city, these people betrayed the Ming Dynasty and later went with the flow to the Qing Dynasty. Some people can forgive, but some people cannot forgive.
Zhu Cixuan didn't say much, let them spend the rest of their lives in the labor camp. Now all plans require manpower, and these people can fill them in. Since they chose to be traitors, don't blame the hardships given to you by the court now.
"How are the people in the capital? Can you still find those people?"
Zhu Cixuan didn't care about how he lived. When he went to Nanjing, his living conditions were not very good. Didn't he come here too? It's always much better now than that time.
Zhu Cilang was worried about the ordinary people in the capital. After the disaster of Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty, he was afraid that no one of the ten ordinary people would have survived.
Although the houses in the capital are still there, most of them lived in the Qing people. They drove out all the original Han people. Now, according to the armistice agreement, these Qing people cannot live in the capital.
"When you say to the Prince, as you told me, we found some lower-level officials from the Chongzhen period and tried to return these houses to their original owners. However, there were many difficulties in this. Only a small number of people remained in the capital, and most of them were dead, so now there are a large number of unowned houses in the capital."
Speaking of this matter, Hu Qiang was also very sad. He thought that the entire capital was the most prosperous city in the world back then, but who knew that even those people could not be found now.
Although the Qing people repaired the capital, they brought terror to the capital. Just look at the numb people on the streets and you will know that there are countless people who died in the capital, so they still look a little cold now.
In fact, this is not the reason why the people in the capital are numb. In the past two years, they have been watching big dramas. Emperor Chongzhen's prince fought a war in the imperial city and then led a small number of people to the south. Li Zicheng began to harm the people in the capital.
Finally, Li Zicheng left with his people, and the Qing people came again. These people were even more cruel than Li Zicheng's people. Li Zicheng was just robbing some things. Although murders also happened, there was no large-scale murder.
The Qing people were different. When they came to this place from Liaodong, they didn’t have much money on their bodies. They looked at everything in the capital.
From the decorations at home to the houses of these people, if they were given up honestly, they could still save their lives, but many of them were the ancestral property of these people. Where would the whole family live?
The Qing people were not the kind of reasoning. Seeing that these people dared to resist, they immediately pulled out their waists. In the month when Dorgon entered the capital, at least tens of thousands of people lost their lives because of this problem.
"Register all these ownerless houses. If you really can't find anyone, you will take them all over. After the people in the south arrive in the capital, the court will arrange housing for them according to their grades. However, you must tell them that these housing was originally owned by someone, and the court will only lend them temporarily."
Everyone must share the benefits when conquering the capital, but who will gain the most of this benefit? Naturally, the Prince of the Crown Prince in front of you.
No one in the capital now knows what real estate is, but with the stability of society, the houses in the capital will also rise. After obtaining so many unowned houses at once, it means that part of the income of the court can also be rewarded to meritorious officials and good officials in the future.
The people below were a little confused about His Royal Highness's actions. According to some of the past habits, they should have been directly rewarded to the ministers, but now they have become borrowed.
But His Royal Highness has his own reasons, so they will not say anything.
"Is the porridge shed outside the city ready?"
Seeing that there were many refugees on the street, Zhu Cilang remembered the things he had arranged before, and they should have all of them for dinner, so that they could stabilize the public security in the capital. If someone was so hungry that they could not stand it, they might take risks.
"If you go back to His Royal Highness, we have set up a porridge shed at the gates of the four gates of the capital, which can accommodate 5,000 people. Now our people should also notify them in various parts of the capital that they can go there for dinner today."
The policies of the various places have long been sorted out and compiled. They just need to follow what is written above. After all, in many cities in the south, this has been tested. Although the population of the capital is a little larger, as long as it is trapped, there will be no big mistakes.
