Chapter 743: Suddenly
According to the original plan, after a detailed discussion with the political envoy of Yunnan Province, Xu Shiyang left the political envoy and went to the farm on the outskirts of Dali to inspect the farm, which used to belong to the Dali royal family, and was of course the most fertile, easiest to irrigate, and the best harvest of high-quality cultivated land, and now belongs to the Yunnan branch of the Imperial Agricultural Corporation.
At present, only a few dozen managers of these lands have arrived in advance, and the staff of the agricultural company responsible for farming will arrive in the next two to three months.
Xu Shiyang walked on the ridge of the field that had not yet been cultivated because there was no one, thinking about the conversation with the political envoy of Yunnan Province just now.
This conversation touched on the future policy of the empire towards the newly conquered territories,—— whether it was the high-pressure model of the Qin state or the Huairou model of Dali.
The real purpose of Xu Shiyang's visit to Dali this time is to see whether the effectiveness of the Dali model is really feasible.
Now, he has decided to add the Dali model to the scope of investigation, wait for ten or twenty years, see the operation of the Dali model, and then make a comparison with the Qin model, and then decide which model is more suitable.
Of course, it is more likely that the two models will be combined, only retaining their respective advantages and discarding the disadvantages.
Before that, Xu Shiyang felt that he should still set a few bottom lines for the two modes, especially Dali's side.
'We have to ensure the dominance of the Han people in the empire, and we want equality for all people, and wait until the third industrial revolution, when the productive forces have developed greatly, and there are a few Yuan Da druids in the country, otherwise, if others occupy a little more resources, our own nation will have to occupy a little less. ’
After all, the empire is the empire of the Han people, and what is the cornerstone of China, Xu Shiyang, as the founder, is still very clear.
Even Huairou must have an upper limit, and it is impossible to be kind to those conquered peoples without limits.
And if the foreigners were to have the same rights as the Empire from the beginning, how would this increase the self-confidence of their own people? Everyone has struggled for more than 20 years, and finally developed the empire from a corner of Juzhou to the current number one in the world, and as a result, those foreigners can enjoy the same benefits if they join now. This kind of thing, don't talk about others, even I can't figure it out myself. ’
So, what are the upper limits of Huairou that must be set?
The first is to choose the object of Huairou, and only one can be selected between the upper and lower layers.
If you want to win over the bottom, you have to clean up the upper class, just like this time in Yunnan Province, all the land of the royal family, nobles and temples was confiscated, and then a part of it was distributed to the serfs.
If you choose the upper class, you have to maintain their old oppression system, not give the alien bottom a chance to reflexively, and block their upward channels, even the most capable aliens can only change their lives after coming to China, serving the empire, and making enough meritorious deeds. Just like it was done in Goryeo and other Outer Tibetan countries.
Well, in this regard, it is actually very certain that if those alien races become foreigners, then they will win over the upper class. If it is annexed as the territory of the empire, or divided into vassals, then clean up the upper layers and win over the lower ones.
Well, taking the north and south as the boundary, the danger of alien races in the north is usually greater than that in the south, so the north tries to implement the Qin model, and the Yunnan province model can be used for the alien races in the south.
Where the Yunnan provincial model was implemented, if it was a foreign province, it was exchanged for maintaining their high-level rule, integrating them into the economic system of the empire, and transforming them into a supplier of raw materials.
If it is annexed by the own country or a subject state, the property of the local magnates is used to buy the lower classes.
The people's money is returned, and the money of the powerful is divided into thirty or seventy, well, good idea.
Xu Shiyang walked on the land that originally belonged to the Dali royal family, and thought a little complacently:
"Of course it's me seven and you three, haha, this can also be regarded as a small fortune, wait until I go to Jinling to finish this year's annual meeting, and next year I will propose the conquest of other countries in Nanyang at the General Staff, and I will not let go of Champong, Chenla, Siam, Donghu and other countries, if they are smart and surrender quickly, I will give them the right to Waibo, if they dare to resist......
Rumble!!!
A violent explosion instantly interrupted Xu Shiyang's thinking about future policies.
He looked up in the direction where the explosion came from, the smoke and dust were billowing in the direction of Dali City, and standing here, he could even feel the ground trembling slightly under his feet.
"What's going on?" Xu Shiyang asked.
"I don't know, big marshal, it looks like an explosion in an arsenal." One of the guards replied.
The empire produced firearms for so long, and often improved various weapons and propellants, which naturally caused many explosions in arsenals or arsenals.
The casualties of those accidents are not small, and the losses are also very large, but they are the price that must be paid on the way forward, Xu Shiyang has not much to do except strengthen safety management and require all departments to design and produce in strict accordance with the safety process.
As Xu Shiyang's guards, everyone knows about some arsenal accidents, and many people have even seen the scene of the arsenal explosion as Xu Shiyang's special envoy, so although the explosion is shocking, it did not cause much panic.
"There's an arsenal in that place? Isn't that the direction of Dali City? Xu Shiyang asked again: "The main force of the garrison has already left the provincial capital, right?" ”
Indeed, in addition to administrative units, military departments are basically not stationed in large cities, and Dali, as a provincial capital, is naturally no exception.
Therefore, it should not be an explosion at the arsenal, and besides, although the explosion just now was powerful, it was not so big that it could be compared with the explosion of the arsenal - every accident at the arsenal was a chain explosion of ten tons or even dozens of tons of black powder, and sometimes it could even form a small mushroom cloud.
So, with today's explosion, something seems to be wrong.
"Go see what's going on." Xu Shiyang commanded the guards.
Immediately, three guards rode in the direction of the explosion.
This time he went south, Xu Shiyang brought 300 guards, but because there were more than 200 staff members with him, after arriving at a destination, Xu Shiyang usually left most of the armed guards for the staff, and only brought a maximum of 60 people to check around.
The same is true when he went out of the city to inspect the state farm today, and there were only about 30 Han Chinese officials from Yunnan Province and 60 guards with him.
The number of people is not large, because Xu Shiyang does not want to delay the work of others, even if he comes to take over, he will not let all the officials in the city wait, only let the relevant officials and staff accompany him.
But it doesn't matter if there are few people, in order to ensure Xu Shiyang's safety, the guards brought heavy weapons, and with the addition of sixty veterans, even if they encounter an emergency, they can basically deal with it.
