Daming Palace was built in the Pole Hall, Li Mingyuan was sitting in front of the palace, with several personal guards standing beside him, and nearly 100 officials and generals sitting below.

"When the empire was founded, the old set of rules from before should be changed, and officials should be directly commensurate with each other by their positions, and titles such as adults should not be mentioned in the future."

Li Mingyuan looked at the officials below and continued: "Reform and reform are related to the country's development plan, and all the bad habits and bad rules of those backward times must be eradicated, and at the same time, the land resettlement policy is the foundation of national stability and cannot be shaken, and the central and local officials at all levels must strictly deal with those involved in illegal occupation of land. The exile of the exile. In the more than ten years since the founding of the country, although the number of citizens is slightly insufficient, there is no need for some moths that destroy the country's development. ”

Clans and the old-style landlord class were the biggest obstacles to the development of industrialization, and in the late Qing Dynasty, the Westernization movement in the mainland was slow to bear fruit, which had a lot to do with the conservative landlords who occupied the main resources of the locality.

The old-style landlords only knew how to replace money and family business with land, and were bent on expanding the land area, using the land to exploit the hired peasants, and had no thoughts and ideas for developing the industrial economy, and a large amount of idle social funds were confined to the land, and even if the government wanted to develop the national economy, it lacked the necessary starting funds, and in addition, the people were civilized and rebelled under the strict prevention and control of the late Qing government, so the Westernization Movement became a tool for corruption among the nobles, officials and gentry of the Eight Banners from the very beginning, and it was impossible to achieve the desired effect.

The Han State was newly established on foreign territory, and new immigrants from the same area were usually scattered and arranged in different settlements, which blocked the development of clan power to a certain extent, but the old Chinese habit of relying on land has not been fundamentally corrected in just ten years.

Almost all of the Chinese families who immigrated early to make a fortune have purchased five or six hundred mu of good arable land, and there are no longer a few families whose combined land such as cultivated land, forest land, and pasture land exceeds the state's land limit, but due to the influence of old-fashioned customs, the new landlords who own five or six hundred mu or two or three thousand mu of land still want to get more land, and many people are trying their best to evade taxes and evade taxes on the part of the land area that exceeds the upper limit set by the state, and local governments deal with no less than seven or eight hundred cases of tax evasion and tax evasion related to land every year.

It is unlikely that the new landlords will abide by the state regulations and consciously return the land they occupy or pay taxes normally according to the land area, so from the national government level, strengthen the intensity and intensity of enforcement, continue to strengthen the disposal and supervision of similar cases, and then in the initial stage, with the government as the lead, establish a mixed industrial system dominated by state-owned heavy industry enterprises and supplemented by private light industry enterprises, gradually reverse the incorrect concept of land among the people, and on the basis of each peasant household owning a piece of land with a moderate area, Divert their energy to the direction of business and industry development, and promote the health and stability of the country's economy.

"Your Majesty, the officials of the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Security stationed in various local prefectures and counties, in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions, are preparing to carry out the second phase of the purge operation, and I believe that after a year-long comprehensive purge operation, the local officialdom and economic situation will be greatly improved."

"There can be no relaxation in the action of the purge of officialdom."

Li Mingyuan nodded and said, "After the second phase of the purge operation begins, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household and other departments and organs will also send some officials to various local prefectures and counties to assist in the investigation of the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Security. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely cooperate with the investigation and evidence collection work of the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Security."

The ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households jointly expressed their position.

"The two aspects of officialdom rectification, investigation and punishment of illegal land occupation, and tax evasion must continue to be implemented, and development issues in other aspects cannot be relaxed."

Li Mingyuan instructed his attendants to take out a huge map and hang it on the wall on the west side of the palace, explaining: "Before the Argentine War, the government successively discovered a number of large and medium-sized mining areas such as gold, copper, and iron mines in the northern part of Wuzhou and the Congo.

Now, a few years later, the situation in the local area is stable, and the large Corrales mine in Wuzhou can start mining. Not long ago, the troops stationed in the Patagonia region reported that several gold and silver mines had been discovered in Jinju (Santa Cruz province), and that I had ordered people to be sent to investigate and verify them, and if the scale of the gold and silver reserves found reached the mining standards, a part of the engineers and militia would be sent to assist in the mining affairs. ”

"Patagonia is vast and sparsely populated, and when the government organized immigration, few people were willing to live there, and now, since the Patagonian garrison has discovered several gold and silver mines in Shouzhou, it is better to spread the news and attract people to move to Shouzhou, Jinzhou, Xizhou and other remote areas in the south."

Zhang Guanghai, Minister of Households, suggested loudly.

"Gold and silver mines are not enough, if you want people to stay in Patagonia for a long time, you need to choose the right areas for immigrants to live in."

Li Mingyuan paused for a while, recalling Ye Chenglin's report on the natural environment of various regions of Patagonia, and then pointed to a few points on the map with a whip in his right hand, "In the south-central region of Patagonia south of the Negro River, the rainfall is gradually decreasing, and there are many deserts and red cliffs, and the areas that can be inhabited by immigrants are mainly distributed in the coastal areas.

San Carlos, Esquel, Las Plumas, Las Niuez, San Julián and El Calafate near Lake Argentina are surrounded by moderate natural environment, with suitable water sources, grasslands and other resources suitable for immigrants to live in, and can be used as the first resettlement base for inland migrants in Patagonia. ”

The whip moves to the right, pointing towards the coastal area on the Atlantic side of the Patagonia region.

As early as 1832, the Americans clashed with the Argentines on the Malvinas Islands in order to poach local fishery resources, and the Americans burned down the Argentines to establish a settlement on the island, and sent warships to the Argentine coastal area to provoke escorts, resulting in the failure of the Argentines to occupy the Malvinas Islands.

According to the seized data, before 1878, the total amount of fishery and aquatic products caught by the Argentines in Patagonia was about 17,000 tons per year, and if the amount of illegal hunting in Uruguay, the United States, Brazil and other countries is added, the annual output of fishery aquatic products in the Atlantic coastal area of Patagonia should be more than 20,000 tons.

Fishery and aquatic products are an important export resource of the country, and a few months ago, because the government was too busy to take over the legacy of Argentina and did not have the energy to interfere in the fishing activities off the coast of Patagonia, resulting in illegal fishing in the coastal areas of the United States and Brazil.

However, from now on, we can no longer sit idly by and watch the illegal fishing activities of other countries, and the people who are willing to move from the southern part of the country and the people who have moved in from the mainland and the South China region must be resettled as soon as possible in the coastal and inland settlements of Patagonia, so that the Chinese population will have an absolute advantage in the local area.

At the same time, the Navy dispatched a number of warships and coastal escort vessels to regularly patrol the waters of Patagonia, and if they find foreign fishing vessels fishing illegally, they will immediately arrest or expel them, so as to protect the interests of fishery resources in the coastal areas of the country from being damaged by other countries. ”

"Your Majesty, what should you do if you encounter a merchant ship from the British?"

"No discrimination, however, if the British merchant ships do not act too excessively, try to expel them as much as possible, so as to avoid the escalation of the situation and the retaliation of the British."
