Su Sanniang heard that Feng Yunshan was going back to Daozhou, so she rushed back from the hardware factory, saying that she missed Sister Hu and asked to go back to Daozhou together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Feng Yunshan couldn't resist it, and he didn't notice it, and he was a little careful out of instinct, so he agreed.
Feng Yunshan entrusted all the hardware factories to Song Jinsheng to be responsible, and ordered Su Sanniang to mobilize a thousand soldiers of the Holy Army, with a large number of gunpowder and other materials, and hundreds of porcelain jars, which were tightly covered, and some steel, ironware and other items produced by the hardware factory, and headed for Daozhou.
It was not far from Guiyang, but I saw Liu Shengbang riding a fast horse from behind.
Didn't he ask him to interrogate Ye Mingchen twice more and rush to Daozhou two days later, why did he catch up so quickly? Feng Yunshan guessed.
"Holy King, Ye Mingchen committed suicide!" Before Liu Shengbang got off the horse, he was in a hurry to report.
"What? What about the guards, why didn't they take a good look at it? Feng Yunshan asked.
"Holy King, it is the responsibility of your subordinates! This Ye Mingchen has not moved, the guard relaxed his vigilance, two hours ago, while the guard left a little, I don't know what method was used, secretly suffocated himself to death. Liu Shengbang said, very depressed, and at the same time shocked by Ye Mingchen's toughness--- who can suffocate himself to death with phlegm --- shocked that his willpower is so tenacious.
"Since he seeks his own death, he can only be buried for the Manchu Dynasty. instructed Huang Yiyun, who was guarding Guiyang, to bury him well according to the old customs. Feng Yunshan also felt a pity, firstly, he had not taken out more confidential information from Ye Mingchen's mouth, and secondly, Feng Yunshan himself admired Ye Mingchen's loyalty and toughness, but it was a pity that he was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Everyone continued to advance cautiously all the way, and the speed was very slow, mainly because Feng Yunshan was afraid of damaging the porcelain jars carried by the army. No one else knows why the Holy King attaches so much importance to those porcelain jars, only Liu Shengbang vaguely knows the details.
The mountain road continued all the way, and Feng Yunshan couldn't help but sigh that the road was difficult. Fortunately, the mass production of cement has begun, and after a while, more manpower will be organized to pave the main roads with cement.
Five days later, the crowd entered the territory of Daozhou. Zeng Guanlan, Liu Changyou, Zhou Shengkun, Hu Damei, Xie Xiangcai and other generals of the Holy Army who stayed in Daozhou all came to greet them.
Led by Zeng Guanlan, he first reported the news of Yongzhou Mansion to Feng Yunshan. Seven days ago, the holy army stationed in Lingjiaotang, 20 miles east of Yongzhou Prefecture, detected that all the Qing troops in Yongzhou City had withdrawn, and under the leadership of Peng Yulin, a deputy watersmith, and Jiang Tianyi, a military marshal, reoccupied Yongzhou Prefecture. Peng Yulin even moved 3,000 sailors to the confluence of Xiaoshui and Xiangjiang, set up a sailor battalion on a small island in Pingzhou at the mouth of the river, established a water village, and set up a fort on the south bank, preparing to block the entire Xiangjiang River and Xiaoshui, preventing the Qing demon from sneaking up on the Yongzhou capital city from the waterway again.
The capital city of Yongzhou was sacked by the Qing army, and thousands of people were out of food. Peng Yulin boiled the military food in the water division camp into porridge, helped the people in the city, and selected the strong people to help build the water village in exchange for grain. For a time, Peng Yulin became a household name among the people around the Yongzhou capital, and the Taiping Holy Army also became a benevolent and righteous teacher who loved the people.
Returning to Daozhou Prefecture again, looking at the place where he had lived for a long time, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but feel a little emotional! Who would have thought that in just a few months, he would develop from a fugitive army with more than 1,000 soldiers and thousands of old and weak players to a force with several prefectures and tens of thousands of soldiers.
That night, Feng Yunshan summoned a group of generals in Daozhou to discuss the pilot land reform in Yongzhou Mansion and Ningyuan. said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Feng Yunshan already had his own ideas, but he just said it and let everyone digest and accept it.
Feng Yunshan put forward the basic idea of "the cultivator has his field", which made everyone excited, especially Zhou Shengkun, Hu Damei, Xie Xiangcai and a group of old people in the heavenly kingdom, who were born in poor families and had fields, which was their dream for many years. But Zeng Guanlan and Liu Changyou questioned it.
They are not opposed to the distribution of land to the peasants, but they are worried that if this reform is implemented, where will so much land be available for distribution? Unless the landlords and gentry are forcibly deprived of the land accumulated over the past 100 years, but the landlords and gentry are very powerful, and it will also provoke popular uprisings. You must know that they can not only influence the local government, but also control many tenants, instigate the tenants below to make trouble, if they unite and then assist the Manchus, Zeng Guanlan and Liu Changyou are worried that they will set up a great enemy for the Taiping Holy Army.
Especially Liu Changyou, who was also born as a squire, naturally understands the tricks of the squire. Whoever prevents them from buying land is the enemy, let alone forcibly depriving them of their land.
In the end, Liu Changyou persuaded: "Holy King, land reform is imperative!" Changyou suggested that it should be slowly planned and not too intense at the beginning! Draw these Han local squires to the Holy Country as much as possible to oppose the Qing Dynasty together! At the very least, don't push it to the side of the Manchus. ”
Feng Yunshan couldn't help but nodded. Originally, he wanted to completely confiscate the landlords' land and distribute it to the landless peasants in accordance with the land reform policy of later generations. But now that I think about it, it really can't be one size fits all.
Refer to the history of land reform in later generations of a certain country. At the beginning, before the seizure of political power, the land policy of reducing rents and interest for landlords and paying rent and interest was only implemented, and peasants paid rent and interest. By using this relatively mild method of land reform, the implementation of the policy was effectively promoted, which not only reduced the cruel exploitation of the peasants, improved the material life of the peasants, and enhanced the peasants' recognition, but also did not completely offend the landlords and turned them into enemies.
After the seizure of power, with the absolute guarantee of force, it is possible to further promote the land reform thoroughly, confiscate the landlords' land, abolish the old exploitative land system, implement the land policy of the cultivators having their own land, and distribute the land equally according to the rural population.
As soon as he thought about it, Feng Yunshan smiled slightly, and his heart was determined.
After the meeting, Zeng Guanlan and Liu Changyou and Xie Xiangcai were left. The four of them stayed in the state government for three whole days, and finally Feng Yunshan dictated, the other three drafted, and then jointly revised it, and a copy of the "Holy Country Tianmu System" came out!
The basic content of the "Shengguo Tianmu System" is about the land reform system, and it also mentions the local political system of the Shengguo, and also touches on the economic system. It stipulates that "all men are equal!" The cultivator has his field! Whoever divides the land according to the population, whether it is a man or a woman, shall be counted as the number of his family, and if there are many people, he shall be divided into many people, and if he is few, he shall be divided into widows."
The "Shengguo Tianmu System" declares the coexistence of multiple ownership systems of land, and the public and private ownership are mixed. Public ownership is divided into the ownership of the whole people in the holy country, and the collective ownership of a certain grassroots unit and the common ownership of several families. Private ownership is ownership by every household.
The original landowners, assessed by the special agency of the Holy State, are still privately owned if they comply with the policy, and are considered terra nullius if they do not comply with the policy. The terra nullius was owned by the Holy State, which in turn distributed it to the landless peasants.
For the first time in this ancient country, there was a system of documents that allowed everyone to own land!
