Xu Shiyang had lost too much time in Dengfeng, so the rest of the road could only be as fast as possible.

On June 15, Xu Shiyang and his entourage arrived in Dali.

According to the predetermined plan, his main work here was to inspect the collective farms of the army (which in his spare time were planted to raise vegetables and pigs to improve the food of the people, and no doubt the policy of plagiarizing the PLA), as well as the land requisitioned by the empire to be handed over to the emigrants.

Most of the expropriated land belongs to the original Dali royal family, nobles and temples, as a feudal system and primitive society coexist and advocate the country of Futu, before the destruction of Dali State, the royal family, nobles, temples occupy about 7 percent of the country's arable land, and the rest is the territory of a large number of tribal barbarians.

There were very few yeoman farmers in Dali, and almost all the peasants were serfs attached to the royal family, nobles, and temples.

After the establishment of Yunnan Province, the provincial political envoy decided to suppress the upper class and buy the lower class with small favors and small favors in view of the fact that there were not too many bloody cases when conquering Dali and that the lower level of Dali had less resentment against China.

After the Dali royal family was forced to go north, the political envoy of Yunnan Province immediately ordered all royal families to be deprived of their land. Later, the political envoy ordered all the nobles of Dali to be arrested, classified as commoners and deprived of all their property.

When the news came that Xu Shiyang was cleaning up the Shaosen Temple in Dengfeng, the political envoy felt that the cabinet's policy on Futu was very clear, so he ordered the temple land to be deprived.

After three times, the political envoy of Yunnan Province obtained 22 million mu of cultivated land.

As a consolation to the former Dali people, all the former Dali serfs who were organized into households were given 20 acres of land per household. There are 600,000 households in Yunnan Province, so 12 million mu will be allocated one after another.

The remaining 10 million mu will be distributed to the upcoming Han immigrants, as well as state-owned farms - there should have been a share of the Inner Government, but Xu Shiyang ordered that no land should be donated directly to the Inner Government in the future, and that the Inner Mansion Nongyang should be expanded, and the royal family would have to pay for the land itself or organize the cultivation of wasteland.

In the empire, although the living conditions and governance rights were far lower than those of the commoners, they were much better than when they were serfs for the local magnates in Dali.

The agricultural tax of the common people of the empire is very high, but it is less than that of the nobles of Dali, and the water and soil conditions of Yunnan Province are good, although 20 acres of land can not be well-off, food and clothing are not a problem, so except for a few fanatical believers who were instigated by the temple, other Dali people feel that under the rule of the empire, they are much stronger than Dali.

Xu Shiyang made a special trip to Dali to see if the relatively advanced governance experience here could be promoted.

According to the estimation of the political envoy of Yunnan Province, the 12 million mu of cultivated land distributed to the people in Yunnan Province can receive about 5 million stone of agricultural tax this year, which is steadily more than the agricultural tax of Dali State.

And this is not counting the 10 million mu belonging to the Han people, and the millions of mu belonging to the local Tusi for which there are no complete statistics.

"When we do this, the local natives have a lot less resistance, there are no nobles in the middle, and the country's income is even much higher than when Dali was in the country."

The political envoy himself said to Xu Shiyang a little proudly:

"I think it's much more effective than massacres and suppression of the local natives."

In fact, Xu Shiyang did find that Yunnan Province was very little affected by the war. The attitude of the local people at the bottom towards the Han people was much better than that of the natives in other border provinces.

"But the building of the militia must be stepped up, and this is also your job."

Xu Shiyang commanded:

"If they are not of our race, their hearts will be different, and without hundreds of years of persistent education, no matter how great the benefits are, they will not be of the same mind as us. Remember, it's okay to give candy to the aliens, but you must not throw away the stick in your hand! ”

"The minister has reservations about this." The envoy replied: "However, the minister will definitely complete the work within his part, and after the Han immigrants come, the minister will form a militia unit according to the standard." ”

The militia is very dependent on local finances, and it is already very good that provincial officials can make such guarantees.

"Do a good job, treat Yunnan Province as a test field, don't be afraid to make mistakes, but there must be a summary, don't make the same mistake a second time." Xu Shiyang promised: "If your method is more suitable for digesting similar new territories, I will transfer you to the cabinet in the future." ”

As the territory expanded, the empire's sphere of influence had expanded beyond its natural limits, and in the most remote regions, the costs of effective rule were outweighed by the benefits of pure military conquest, while not difficult.

For example, the Qin State, although it is ruled indirectly by a subject state, the empire still has to invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources every year to support it, so as not to make the Qin army untenable.

This is not a small amount, only slightly less than direct rule.

However, there was very little feedback from the Qin state - the Qin state was very large, the rivers and broken leaves were also abundant water and grass, and the output of grain and cotton was not small, but without the railway, the transportation cost of transporting grain and cotton to the interior was too worrying.

If it weren't for the forcible binding of Qin's industrial chain, Xu Shiyang would have wanted to open a factory in Qin.

Unfortunately, there are too few Han people in the Qin State, and there are no more people left to fight wars and manage farms, and if you open a factory, you will almost certainly have to use local manpower.

The factory uses local manpower to cultivate industrialized talents for the local people, which Xu Shiyang absolutely cannot allow!

Therefore, the Qin people could only live a life similar to that of a red neck - they had a large piece of land at home, rode horses, carried guns, carried cold weapons from the Mughuls and Jurchens, supervised the cultivation of slaves in peacetime, picked cotton, and fought as soldiers in wartime, and were devout Confucian believers, and were not interested in other faiths.

Although Confucianism has been changed beyond recognition by Xu Shiyang through two excellent opportunities to confiscate the Fengsheng Mansion and unify the world, it doesn't matter, they just need to have that one thing to believe in.

This kind of rule was not stable, and the Qin State faced more wars than when China was still in the process of conservation, and there were almost no wars every day.

The war needs a lot of consumption, and the income of the Qin State itself is insufficient, so it can only be reached out to Huaxia, although it is not much, but it is a loss, the current economic conditions of the empire are not bad, if there is something wrong with the empire's economy one day, can this burden be borne in the end?

Where will the money come from? If you don't bear it, do you want to give up the millions of square kilometers of Qin?

So we had to find a better way to rule and control the new territories where the natives were overwhelmingly dominant.

It is precisely because of these hidden dangers that Xu Shiyang allowed the existing frontiers to do some experiments, for example, the Qin State is a high-pressure rule, maybe this policy is more durable than other methods?

And Dali's Huairou methods can also be used, the empire now has the capital of trial and error, and it never hurts to try.
