982 Toast Strategy (II)
With the deepening and expansion of land reform in the three southeastern provinces, Jiangxi and Huguang have also begun to be affected.
The land reform working group became more and more courageous, and the more skilled the means were used, and with the cooperation of the army, they were invincible, and the gentry were not at all opponents for several rounds, and the people continued to form peasant associations to seize land and pledge allegiance to the central government, breaking away from the rule of the local gentry.
They finally realized the vast ocean of the people's war and the power of the people that they had never understood.
In the same way, it also allows the readers of the land reform working group to refresh their three views over and over again, cleanse their souls, and then devote themselves to the next round of work with extremely full spirit, continuing this great change unseen in a thousand years.
The autonomy of the gentry in the richest and most prosperous areas of Jiangnan is gone, and the power of the central government has completely replaced the gentry and become the real masters of the three southeastern provinces.
Half a month after Xiao Ruxun became emperor, the first round of land reform in Yangzhou Prefecture ended, announcing the end of the first round of land reform in the entire three southeastern provinces.
The three southeastern provinces began spring ploughing, and the people received the first wave of benefits from the founding of the Great Qin.
Although a whip law was continued, the taxes levied by Daqin were reduced by three percent compared with those levied by the Ming Dynasty in previous years, and in order to avoid some of the drawbacks exposed before, Xiao Ruxun stipulated that the taxes should be organized by the peasant associations, and the taxes would be collected uniformly under the leadership of the township head who had been transferred from the land reform officials, and the government would set the price of grain and not allow grain merchants to manipulate it.
More importantly, Xiao Ruxun ordered the abolition of the collection of fire consumption silver, and only levied tax silver according to a fixed amount, and no more fire consumption silver was allowed, and he asked Heishui to supervise it on his behalf.
Whoever dares to use his hands and feet, deceive and tamper with his intentions, behead him on the spot, and show no mercy.
Under the stimulus of such favorable policies, the situation in the three southeastern provinces quickly stabilized, and the people quickly devoted themselves to the spring ploughing work with great enthusiasm.
However, the completion of land reform in the three southeastern provinces does not mean that the work in other places has come to an end; to be precise, the work in other places has just begun.
For this reason, Xie He specially came to Beijing to ask Emperor Xiao Ruxun for instructions on the key points of the next stage of work, and then, by the way, he also wanted to reminisce about the old feelings and get a better position.
Although he now holds the power of life and death in many people, he has no official position, and at this critical point at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, he wants to get something that makes him feel at ease.
Although Xiao Ruxun gave him enough mansions and land, he had no official position, which was always a bit unpleasant.
After all, the land reform officials under him who have done excellent work have been transferred to township chiefs and even county magistrates one by one, and have set up government agencies in the three southeastern provinces, and now only he, the leader, has no formal official position, and he also feels a little embarrassed.
He wanted to see if he could get a central official to do it.
He is also a person who has political achievements and skills and has led many people.
So when Xiao Ruxun recalled Xiao Ruzhi and Chen Lan to return to Beijing to report on their work, he also came.
What reassured him was that Xiao Ruxun attached great importance to him, personally met him alone, and asked him about the work process of land reform.
"The land reform in the three southeastern provinces has basically ended, and according to Your Majesty's requirements, the families of the gentry who are lucky enough to survive are strictly monitored, and those who are officials in the court will be organized and sent to Beijing for resettlement, and there is no waiting for Your Majesty's arrangement for officials in the court."
Xie He reported.
"Well, you did a good job, this kind of person has one count, and they must be monitored, and they must not continue to stay in the place, they must be sent to Jingshi together, the Lingyi system abolished by the Xianhan Dynasty is a good system, and it is a system that specifically suppresses the powerful and powerful, I want to put the biggest threat by my side, control it nearby, and can't let them hurt the people."
Xie He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's benevolent heart, heaven and earth can learn from it, and the people of Great Qin are very fortunate!" After His Majesty's decree to reduce the tax by 30% and abolish the consumption of silver by fire was transmitted to the three southeastern provinces, the people of the three southeastern provinces all shouted Long live our emperor, which shows how much the people support Your Majesty and support our Great Qin. ”
Xiao Ruxun smiled.
"This is something that an emperor should do, it's not worth saying, you can tell me about Huguang and Jiangxi."
"Yes."
Xie He opened his mouth and said: "Huguang and Jiangxi are also places where the gentry are relatively strong, but compared with the fierce resistance of the three southeastern provinces, the resistance of Huguang and Jiangxi is much less. ”
"This kind of person can't stay, and he is not even allowed to donate land, and he wants to raid his home, understand?"
"Yes, the minister understands!"
Xie He continued: "The problems of Huguang and Jiangxi are quite similar to those of the three southeastern provinces, and they are not very big problems, but further west, Guizhou and Sichuan, as well as Liangguang and Yunnan in the south, there are a large number of toasts, how should we deal with them?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way, I have sent a large number of black water agents to Guizhou and Yunnan to infiltrate, learn the local dialect, you also select a group of people to come out, I will let Zhang Wu dock with you, arrange this group of people to learn the local dialect, understand the local customs, and after solving the problem in Huguang and Jiangxi, I will start to solve the Tusi in Guizhou and Yunnan."
Listening to Xiao Ruxun's words, Xie He was surprised: "Does Your Majesty want to ...... in the Tusi Territory?"
"Yes."
Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Tusi is also the territory of Daqin, as long as it is the territory of Daqin, I will never allow any forces that do not belong to the central government to exist, Tusi must be uprooted, the method, just like the method I taught you, there are also poor people in Tusi, there will only be more, not less." ”
"But the toasts are all aliens, and if we do this, they will be very disgusted, and we will be in great danger, and we may not be able to be trusted."
Xiao Ruxun walked up to Xie He and said in a low voice: "Qingquan, all the poor people in the world are the same, whether they are of their own race or a different race, they are all the same, grasp the part they care about most, stir up their anger, and incite their riots.
Join forces with them and let them kill their own land kings, just like we let our people kill the gentry and heroes, they can also be used by me, and then apply the royal Taoism and change the land to the stream, it doesn't take a lot of time, Guizhou and Yunnan are really the Guizhou and Yunnan of Great Qin. ”
Xie He took a deep breath and nodded: "The minister understands, the minister knows what His Majesty means, and the minister will definitely do his best." ”
"Don't let me down, Izumi."
Xiao Ruxun said again: "If you can handle this matter well, in the future, we can use such methods to deal with Liangguang, Sichuan, Beiyu and Jurchen, many things need to be deterred by the army, but it doesn't have to be done by the army itself, understand?" ”
Xie He was deeply shocked.
Does Your Majesty still want to carry out land reform on the northern captives?
But aren't the northern captives herding?
Can they also land reform?
Xie He was not sure about this.
