New or Not New

In the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, there was a severe drought in Henan and locusts covered the sky. In the clan village outside the city, Zhu Shaoxuan, the twelfth generation grandson of Taizu, was about to starve to death. The noodle vat was cleaner than a dog licking it. He went to the county prince's house to borrow food, and the steward spat on the ground—— "A poor person like you is worthy?" That night, he took about twenty clan members and captured the first granary. Three days later, Xiangfu County changed its owner. Three months later, the land equalization system was implemented in Henan. The King of Zhou was imprisoned in the Sin Clan by him and called him a rebellious official and a traitor. Zhu Shaoxuan put the knife on the table and said, "Uncle Wang, we are just here to get back the Lumi that we owe for two hundred and seventy years." —— Land equalization, public enterprise, social science, and people's governance. This is his newfound wisdom. But after all, his surname is Zhu, and in this world, he is still called "Ming". The new light is not new, the old light is not old. Let's see how a hungry clan can find a path that no one has ever walked before in this troubled world. Tags: late Ming Dynasty, history, farming, struggle for hegemony, vassal kings, land equalization
