"It's really a battle of defeat!"

Yang Qing on the boat on Xuanwu Lake sighed.

It is still surprising to say that the indomitable spirit of the Datong Society, if they could have been like this when they resisted the Qing Dynasty in history, maybe Nanming would still be able to hold on.

Of course, the main thing is that the Qing army will slaughter the city.

And these people know very well that even if he raids his house, he will only exile the man, but exile is nothing terrible for these people, even if they are exiled to Taiwan, their relatives and friends will also give them money to make them live well. They even left a good name among the gentry, and even if their families were confiscated, they could still live easily with the help of relatives and friends.

This is important.

It is said that these guys in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all fought with Wei Zhongxian back then, and they have a lot of experience in opponents who will not be destroyed.

They did scold Yang Qing as a demon.

But they also know that Yang Qing just doesn't like to kill, especially doesn't like to play full of beheading, until now Yang Qing has not beheaded any family, not a single woman, not a single child died under his punishment.

Even those nobles who played the blood-spattered noon gate back then, there are still heirs to inherit their respective titles in Nanjing.

Since you're so scared of a bird!

It is said that Yang Qing aggressively attacked the gentry again and again, and the Huangzhuang checked the land and property, released the slaves, and finally touched the bottom line of the gentry step by step. If they don't make a substantial counterattack, it won't be long before the name of the land gentry is completely wiped out from the land of the Ming Dynasty. The land reform of the two provinces of Nanning has been going on for two years, and the talents who have been trained in two years have been released and spread to the whole province of Guangxi, if you do not start on the Tusi, it is estimated that Guangxi will be completed in three years, and Yang Qing will have a land reform team for the entire Ming Dynasty in five years. Then he just did it directly with the public land law, and five years was enough time for him to publicize this policy to the fullest, at that time, the Huangzhuang militia in various places protected the land reform team, and stationed in all prefectures and counties amid the cheers of tenant farmers and poor peasants everywhere.

At that time, the gentry everywhere wanted to rebel?

There's not even anyone with them!

They can only give Yang Qing a chance in the matter of greeting the driver, and there will be no chance after not fighting this time.

"It's a pity that the more you fight, the more you lose!"

Yang Qing said disdainfully.

"Xingong, can you start?"

Song Yingxing said pretending not to know anything.

"Let's go!"

Yang Qing said with a smile on his face.

An officer beside them immediately pulled off one of the handles of the boiler next to them, and then with the sound of steam, the flywheel of the steam engine connected to the boiler began to rotate, and at the same time, the transmission gear set began to rotate slowly with a shaft, which at the same time drove the paddle wheels on both sides of the five-zhang long flat-bottomed boat to rotate slowly, pushing the water surface to drive the boat slowly forward......

"It's better to paddle!"

Yang Qing's prospective sister-in-law said dissatisfiedly.

This is Yang Qing's first experimental paddle steamer, this thing wants to maximize the benefits, then the first thing is the inland paddle steamer, there is no more suitable for inland water transport in the south of the Yangtze River. The time interval between the steam engine and the steamship was already very short, and in 1776 the first Watt steam engines were installed in the factory, and only thirteen years later there were already people installing them on ships to power the ......

Not Fulton.

The world's first steamship was not Fulton.

It is important to understand the fact that the world's first steamship was not invented by Fulton, but by the Scotsman Semington, who experimented with the first steamship in 1789, thirteen years after him.

But his funders refused to continue funding him because of the ship's poor performance.

Of course, Yang Qing's will not be the same fate.

"If you don't accumulate steps, you can't make thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate trickles, you can't become a river. What we want is just the beginning, as long as it can start, it is a success, this steam engine is not as good as rowing, then change to a bigger one. Today we are driving a small boat that can only sail in Xuanwu Lake, and in five years we will be able to make a bigger ship sail on the Yangtze River, and in fifteen years we will be able to enter the sea on a huge ship. Maybe fifty years from now, we can sail countless giant steam warships directly to the Western Ocean, just like Zheng He did back then, to raise the prestige of the country in the four seas, to preach and educate all countries, so that the light of the sun and the moon will shine in all directions. ”

Yang Qing said with his hands behind his back.

A gust of wind blew, and the black smoke from the chimney instantly overwhelmed him.

"Believe in the pride of the public, and the old decay is not far away!"

Song Yingxing said with a smile on the side.

"The old man is sixty-two years old this year, and he can't see it fifty years later, there are no outsiders on this Xuanwu Lake today, and the old man will rely on the old and sell the old, and dare to ask the letter of the father, the people are rumored that the land reform in Guangxi is the trial implementation of the letter for the whole country, I don't know if the letter really has this intention?"

He asked.

"If I really have this intention, what does Song Gong want?"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"Although the old man has a few acres of thin fields, he is not reluctant, but Xingong has thought about it, how much does this move involve?"

Song Yingxing said.

His family is actually a big landowner.

"Song Gong, I think you also know that I am not the first to do this, at least Wang Mang and Jia Yidao are known before me, and both of them have indeed failed. Wang Mang used the retro as the name of Juntian, and finally caused chaos in the world, the Han Dynasty was prosperous, and Jia seemed to be the Taoist Gongtian Law in the south of the Yangtze River, and then the Song Dynasty was destroyed by Mongolia.

But are they all doing it wrong?

Not necessarily, right?

Wang Mang's failure was that he was too anxious, and if he had done it in thirty years instead of three, he might not have been able to succeed.

Of course, he also didn't have thirty years available.

But I have.

I can even survive all the naysayers.

As for Jia Rudao, he was purely helpless, purely a struggle in a desperate situation, and wanted to use the Gongtian method to fight for the Southern Song Dynasty, his external enemies were too strong, and there were too many internal political enemies. He didn't have the ability to break the game by conventional means, so he could only play ruthlessly, but he failed, not only failed but also tossed into the last bit of vitality of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But I'm different.

I don't have a group of alien horsemen outside who have leveled almost half of the known world, and I don't have any internal enemies inside that can really threaten me.

So why don't I give it a try? ”

Yang Qing said.

"But why do you have to?"

Song Yingxing said.

"Hanshi died in the Yellow Turban, but why did the Yellow Turban arise? Annex! Tang died in Huangchao, so why did Huangchao sweep the world with a private salt dealer? Or a merger! Why did Li Zicheng almost make the Ming Dynasty fall into the country? It's also a merger! Zhang Jiao is not an immortal, Huang Chao is just a private salt dealer, and Li Zicheng is just a pawn, how can they drive millions of people to die for hundreds of years? Because the millions need them, because the poor people who have lost their land and can only rely on the landlords as cattle and horses, and who are bloody, sweating and sweating, but are hungry and cold, need someone to lead them to change all this.

Even if you can't change it......

Then let's all the same.

Time is gone, and I die with you!

I don't want everything I've worked so hard to build up end up like this, and I can't escape the curse of destruction, reconstruction, annexation, and destruction, so I can only solve the problem at the root before I can control the situation.

That's why I'm going to implement the public land system.

I want to completely solve the root cause of land annexation, and anyone who dares to stand in my way will be run over by rolling wheels.

In the future, all the land of the Ming Dynasty and the Thirteen Political Envoys of the Ming Dynasty was state-owned, and then leased by the state to the peasants for cultivation, and the land was no longer allowed to be traded, except for a few clan fiefs and title fiefs, all other lands within this range were not allowed to be privately owned. ”

Yang Qing said.

"And what about the outside?"

Song Yingxing said.

"You can do anything else, you can do as much as you want, and there will be no restrictions."

Yang Qing said.

"And what about the minerals underground?"

Song Yingxing said.

Similarly, all underground minerals, rivers, lakes, mountains and forests within the jurisdiction of the two capitals and thirteen political envoys are state-owned, but private individuals can apply for development rights. I didn't want to eradicate the landlords, I just didn't allow the landlords to have landlords within the scope of the two capitals and thirteen political envoys, and those who wanted to make a fortune within this range would engage in industry and commerce. Those who still want to be landlords can go outside this range, for example, now they can go to Taiwan, Taiwan allows private ownership of land, or after the imperial court recovers Liaodong, they all go to Liaodong to reclaim the land, and the land in Liaodong is also allowed to be privately owned. They can even learn from Europeans, colonize overseas, go to the South Seas, go to the Americas, and become big landowners of millions of acres in these places.

It is also full of fertile land.

The British colonies in North America did not have the population of Nanking, but they occupied the entire province of Nanzhili and Jiangxi and Zhejiang.

The Dutch were fighting with the Portuguese for Brazil in South America, a land with more water than the Yangtze and Yellow rivers combined, flowing for thousands of miles, with almost no mountains along the way, and all plains with a similar climate. But the Dutch and Portuguese colonized there are also inferior to Nanjing, and our sugar exports will decrease day by day in the future, because the Dutch are here to grow sugar cane.

The world is big.

Daming is only a very small piece, and the two capitals and thirteen political envoys are even smaller, why do you have to squeeze in this place? The Dutch colonies, with a total population of several million, are spread all over the world, spanning tens of thousands of miles from east to west, and the land area is only equivalent to that of Spain, which is a political envoy in Sichuan, and the total number of overseas colonies exceeds that of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The vast majority of our silver was brought from the Americas.

In the fifth year of Hongji, they were the first to arrive in the Americas.

Then in less than a hundred years they slaughtered tens of millions of natives there, who had no iron tools and were still using stone weapons, and the Spaniards robbed them of all their gold and silver. The gold and silver flowed into various countries through trade, and then flowed into the Ming Dynasty through maritime trade.

We're already too far behind. ”
