Under the leadership of Yan Changwu, the General Staff of the Southeast Province regularly drew up battle plans to simulate the enemy, such as dealing with the Dutch. The first is to wait for work at ease and use the existing forces to deal with the Dutch; The second is to attack the door and wait for the completion of the new batch of warships before attacking.

Since the Dutch want to come to attack the southeastern province, our army will just wait for the enemy ships to come.

When Yan Changwu returned to Taiwan, in addition to inspecting defense affairs, he had to come to "summarize and summarize" the characteristics of the country and the DPRK, that is, to write down the experience gained from this voyage, and after discussion and deliberation, form a final document, convey it to all parties, and everyone will carry out "political study."

He first convened important military and political figures such as Chen Xinji, Hong Sheng, Li Ying, Li De, and Chen Hebin for a small-scale discussion.

"The first thing is people's livelihood!"

"The so-called people's livelihood can be understood as the life of the people, and it can also be said to let the small people live!" Yan Changwu said with emotion: "I went to the north this time, and I felt a lot of emotion, and I shared it with you!" ”

"The people on the mainland pay too much taxes, officials, landlords, and those who have won the imperial examination can avoid taxes, and the peasants pay taxes and have a heavy burden of forced labor, and they are miserable, and in addition to the continuous floods and droughts, the peasants have no way to make a living, and on the way we pass, many lands have been abandoned and there is no food, how can this country live!"

"I've been to some villages, and the people generally have vegetables on their faces, and they are miserable!"

"So, we have to ensure the livelihood of the people, and we strive to develop the economy, agriculture, industry and commerce! Our previous strategy was the opposite, we had to do a good job in statistics, supervise the administration of officials, increase people's income, strengthen security, build municipal administration, invigorate the economy, and so on. ”

Yan Changwu started his lecture and talked about "data statistics" and the establishment of statistical units at the town and village levels to obtain accurate statistics, so it is necessary to strengthen the allocation of personnel and funds.

In addition to the existing supervision offices in each town, the supervision officials plan to send inspection teams to inspect and supervise the people's livelihood.

Cracking down on unhealthy tendencies and seriously punishing officials, but Yan Changwu pointed out that all trials pay attention to evidence and do not involve them, and the southeast government is small and cannot withstand a big storm.

Raising people's incomes, invigorating the economy, and benefiting the people can be done through infrastructure...... The key to good infrastructure, road construction, farmland and water conservancy, factory construction, and so on lies in the fact that the southeast government has money in its hands, and through wage payment instead of forced labor, so that the people will have money.

With the support of the Donglin Party, these staunch patriots, the state has a long-term low commercial tax rate, and the government has no money, so it cannot afford to pay wages, and it sends conscription to the people.

……

In terms of people's livelihood, it also includes the establishment of a minimum wage, the internship period is at most half a year, and the establishment of the Spring Festival, Labor Day, and the addition of three traditional festivals of Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays in Southeast Province, except for the Spring Festival, it is one day, plus the Sunday of the Gregorian calendar is the official shutdown day, and there are still many holidays.

Nursery schools have been set up, and all major units and factories have established nursery schools to send children to nursery schools for management. (Mainly the "public family" and large factories have this benefit, and the people have to bring their own benefits)

Increase investment in hospitals, including the establishment of specialized maternal and infant health hospitals, training and sponsorship for rural midwives, and promoting disinfection to improve the survival rate of women and infants.

……

Yan Changwu's livelihood policy involves all aspects, and it takes him a long time to talk about it.

After he put it forward, after discussion, the feasibility was inferred, how much manpower and money was needed, and then returned to him, and finally a decision was formed.

"The second thing is to strengthen the publicity!"

"I plan to set up a newspaper, let's call it Southeast Daily, so that businessmen can place advertisements on it to subsidize the circulation fee." Yan Changwu said that he was not shy about talking about money.

"The Southeast Daily preaches good things and criticizes bad things, of course, it can't affect our governance, and it also allows everyone to see the scenery of other places."

When you think about it, that's exactly how it should be.

No comparison, no harm, through comparison, let everyone know that the current life is not easy, so as to support the governance of the Southeast Prefecture.

"The third thing is that the military must not be slackened for a day!"

"The world is not peaceful, there may be a power lurking inside us to overthrow us, and the red-haired fan is eyeing us and wants our sugar!" Yan Changwu exclaimed loudly, the "sweet business" of Southeast Mansion is indeed sweet, there are white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar plus milk sugar, and rum is also made from sugar cane, with an annual income of more than one million taels of silver, advancing towards two million taels of silver!

In order to safeguard its own interests, the southeast government built warships, made guns and cannons, trained troops, and supplied logistics......

A more detailed training program has been formulated, the exercise is closer to actual combat, special supply ships have been built for logistics, and logistics warehouses have been strengthened.

"I'm going to give you a research topic here." Yan Changwu greeted and said, "How to avoid the division of the feudal town!" ”

Everyone's hearts jumped when they heard it, and they heard him recount: "I have been to Ningyuan and Phi Dao, take Phi Dao as an example, they are in ......"

Someone immediately opened the map, and it was closer to the real map!

This is the result of the hard work of the hydrographic exploration brigade in the fleet, and Yan Changwu is willing to spend money on this, which is more beneficial to the operation.

"Look at the location of Phi Dao, on this side of the Yalu River, it is very important to threaten the soft belly of Houjin, to contain Houjin, so that Houjin cannot use all his forces for Ning Jinyuan, so Mao Wenlong, the defender of Phi Dao, has made a lot of contributions!"

"And yet!" Yan Changwu's voice changed and said: "Mao Wenlong is far away from the mainland, has become a big trend, in Phi Dao, he does not have a supervising army, everything is up to him, I have not been in Phi Island for a long time, I have heard a lot of things about him, for example, people close to him have good food and use, while other soldiers are miserable, and his military and civilian numbers have serious water, that is, risk the army's salary, and the head of the person killed also has water, that is, the army merit (no supervising army, this is inevitable)......"

"Everybody said, what should I do?" Yan Changwu asked.

The soldiers did not dare to speak, and the financial officer Chen Hebin said nonchalantly: "Dilemma! ”

"Yes, it's a dilemma! Some people say that since he is so important, then satisfy him, don't touch him, as long as he achieves results. Some people also say that you must not indulge, otherwise everyone will follow the same example, and when you start a war, it doesn't matter which place you want, and you don't need to supervise the army, how can the superior control the army in the future? ”

"Okay, don't rush to answer, let's just treat it as a research topic, discuss it, and don't rush to give the answer, our southeast mansion has not yet reached this point."

……

Yan Changwu went out and got a lot of feelings, and after enrichment, many of them were implemented, which raised the economic, military, and people's livelihood of the southeast province to a higher level.

He thought it was very good, so he implemented the "inspection" system, advocating that the military and political dignitaries should look more and think more, and every year they should hand in a report, which was said by those military and political dignitaries to "hand in homework"!
