The spring cold is steep, and it falls on the top of Liang Mountain.

The place where the families of officials and wealthy businessmen are detained is like a sanatorium in the later generations, a small courtyard, Han Yi is still wearing cotton clothes, sitting opposite Tang Xidong on both sides of the stone table, and a pair of chess pieces are placed on the table, fighting and fighting.

Han Yi was the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, a master of Confucianism, a member of Donglin, and a protégé everywhere. Now that he is in the urn, how can Tang Xidong let him leave at will? So since Pingyang City was in the palm of his hand, Han Yi was placed under house arrest on this Luoliang Mountain in disguise.

"Just like this chess game, the two sons of the scholar can protect the handsome but not kill the handsome, and the rest of the chess pieces can protect the handsome but also kill the handsome. The key lies in the position and the relationship between the enemy and me, the small soldiers can cut the generals under the horse, and the generals can be handsome to win the world, and I don't want the country to fall into Liangshan, as long as the people are happy, as long as the world is peaceful. Tang Xidong held the chess pieces in his hand, and the last pawn forced the opponent's handsome man to flee in embarrassment.

In this chess game, you come and go, killing both defeats, and only three empty sons are left in the whole chess game.

One general, one handsome and one pawn.

"This huge country is not surnamed Liu, nor is it surnamed Li, nor is it surnamed Zhu, it is surnamed Han. The surname Han is not a certain person or a family, but the people of the whole world, the Zhu family sits in the country, but does not allow the people to live, which is against the mandate of heaven and cannot be forever. I don't go to Liangshan to sit in the country, just to find a way to live for hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, everyone can be fed, everyone can be warm, everyone has to live, and everyone has to be satisfied. ”

"Since the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism has been respected alone, and everyone has followed the words of the sage, and the sage said that the world is the public in the world. Select the meritocracy, enter the faith and cultivate harmony. Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives, do not have only sons and sons, but the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, the widows, the widows, the lonely and the sick are all supported, the men have a share, and the women have a home. The goods are discarded in the land industry, and they do not have to be carried to themselves; The power of evil does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. It is because of the conspiracy to close but not to prosper, to steal and thieves not to do, so to do not close the outside household, it is said to be the same. But the change of dynasties, two thousand years passed in a flash, and all of them who sat on the country wanted to have the imperial power alone, both longevity and eternal prosperity, and generations of descendants worked for the people, fish and flesh. Who remembers the words of the sage, who abides by the sage's teachings, which emperor understands the suffering of the people, in addition to guarding the country wholeheartedly, has he really taken a step closer to the Datong society? The world was created by generations of people over thousands of years, but when someone sits on the country, what will the people get? They spent their blood and sweat, exhausted their lives, and finally gave a family of people to squander at will, just like at this moment, in the outside world, there are many people who can't live and cannibalism and starvation. Dare to ask Han Shoufu, which people are willing to live like this? Why is there such a scene of barking? ”

Tang Xidong sneered and asked, and at the end of the chess game, the king saw the king.

Han Yi didn't say a word, just stared at the chess pieces on the table, not knowing if he listened to Tang Xidong's words.

"I can't give an answer for a while, you can wait with peace of mind, let time give us the last answer, Tang doesn't expect Mr. Han to support and guide, but just ask Mr. to stay in Luoliang Mountain for a little longer, let time come to Mr. to polish his eyes, and see who is really ordered by heaven in this world, and who is against the mandate of heaven."

"Okay?"

Tang Xidong finally didn't wait for Han Yi's reply, in the other party's heart, he had already decided that he was the same as the rebel army in Shaanxi, and that the purpose of bewitching the people to rebel was to seek to sit on this country.

However, time will tell.

What Tang Xidong wants is not for the other party to understand, but for the old man to wait with peace of mind on this Luoliang Mountain.

————

Time passed, everything went well, and when all the arranged matters were slowly completed in time to the goal specified by Tang Xidong, it indicated that Tang Xidong's real preparations for improvement had been made.

History wants to open a new chapter in the hands of his later generation, and the location of the overture begins in Pingyang City.

A well-staffed and powerful meeting was held in the Yamen of the prefect of Pingyang City.

The people here: the old man in charge of Luoliang Mountain, and the puppet master of Pingyang City.

The content of the meeting is to kick off the improvement.

Improvement, there are tigers behind the wolves, but you can't look ahead and backwards.

Since he is determined to kick off the prelude to reform, he naturally can't be afraid to be known by the Ming court.

Nor can they be afraid of the imperial court that follows to send troops to conscript.

Tang Xidong knew that everything he proposed not only touched the interests of the original old vested interests in Pingyang City, but also could not be understood by the old man of Luoliangshan for the time being, and the concept of reform was forged in blood and fire, darkness and shame after a hundred years of national exploration and struggle in later generations, rather than something that he could achieve in one bite.

But the flame of reform must be kindled from him, and it must be strived to be realized with the authority in him and with everything in his hands.

After the meeting, the streets and alleys of Binh Duong City were plastered with notices, and there were special personnel responsible for conveying the new policy decree to the people.

All the people who live in Binh Duong City are re-registered, take pictures of their identities, and divide them according to households, and then the ten households next to each other are combined into a group, and the next ten households are combined into a group, and the next ten households are combined into one mile, and they can elect the team leader, the first chief, and the first chief, and the first leader, and the first chief, and the first chief, and the first chief, and the first leader, and the first chief, and the first leader,

Abolish the Confucian shackles of "Shinong, Industry and Commerce", which is placed on the heads of the common people, regardless of class, and have equal status.

Public schools are opened, and children under the age of 12, regardless of gender, are uniformly enrolled, and the school provides two meals a day at public expense, and accommodation is provided under special circumstances.

All craftsmen are registered and forcibly requisitioned to the newly established R&D and Manufacturing Bureau, and they can receive monthly wages according to the type of work.

Establish a business alliance, convene a chamber of commerce at a specific time every month, evaluate rewards and punishments, coordinate contradictions, and count profit losses.

Recruit talents, those who are influenced by Western studies and are open-minded are preferred, and those who have good reputation and character in the industry are preferred.

Finally, those who obey the above decrees are exempted from all taxes and servitude, and no more taxes are levied, and those who do not obey are forcibly expelled from the city.

The last item is sweet dates, accept the front sticks, and only then do you have the right to enjoy the last sweet dates.

School education is an imperative matter for Tang Xidong, so he himself has made a ruthless decision, not only to forcibly levy children to go to school, but also to subsidize room and board.

Tang Xidong knew that all sensible adults were ossified people bound by the feudal social system and Confucianism, and he no longer pinned his hopes on these people, but on children, the hope of the future.

Tang Xidong hopes that ten years from now, twenty years from now, and many, many years from now, these children who have grown up and become talented will be able to shoulder the hopes and burdens they place on them.

School education is divided into general education and industrial education, general education is reading and writing, abacus, history, geography, political thought, and industrial education is divided into mechanical manufacturing, business, simple physics, Chinese and Western medicine, astronomy and chemistry.

All the teaching materials are compiled by Tang Xidong alone, all for the purpose of enlightenment, not seeking children to have an in-depth understanding, as long as they can cultivate their interest and curiosity in the world, society, life and material, the goal will be achieved.

In addition, every other month, a half-month military training is conducted, the intensity of the training varies according to the age of the children, but it is necessary to cultivate in advance the tenacity and blood of their character, as well as discipline and obedience.

Tang Xidong's hope for improvement has a long way to go, and children are the carrier of his improvement.

The R&D and Manufacturing Bureau, in addition to making Tang Xidong design items, encourages and rewards personnel who develop their own products, regardless of the name or branch, as long as there is improvement and creation, they can get huge rewards.

Although Tang Xidong had a cadre of Luoliangshan in his hands, he had no political experience and insufficient management ability, so he had no choice but to release the officials of Pingyang City again to coordinate arrangements, increase surveillance, and then promise that the families of those who have made meritorious contributions will be released.
