Chapter 073: The Grandson Is Coming

The first step in the land reform was to nationalize the land that had belonged to the bureaucracy, the gentry, and the big landowners through compulsory confiscation, compulsory government redemption, and negotiated redemption, and then lease it to the local landless people and the first batch of new immigrants according to the number of people.

The reason why we want to take the lead in carrying out land reform on the Shandong Peninsula is the same as the establishment of nine special zones.

The Shandong Peninsula has always been occupied by the Mongols, and there is no land for any Song bureaucrats, nor for the gentry, and the only resistance is the local northern tycoons and large landowners, so the difficulty of nationalizing the land is relatively low, and the impact is small. In addition, the ports of Dengzhou and Mizhou were both home to the Royal Navy and the Great Song New Army, and the construction site of Highway 1 passed through here, so that the preliminary redemption work could be carried out in the name of building the road, so as to explore the attitude of the locals.

Land reform is easy to say, but it is difficult to implement. The wealthy landlords had a great influence among the local people, and even if they relied on the deterrence of the army to prevent them from making any obvious resistance, the local people did not dare to cooperate with the work of the land reform working group. They did not dare to rent the land allocated to them by the imperial court, mainly for fear of retaliation from the wealthy and landlords after the working group left.

At this time, Hong Tao's advantages in choosing the Shandong Peninsula to carry out land reform experiments were revealed, the local people did not dare to rent, it didn't matter, those engineers who built roads were brought by their families, and the new court of the Great Song Dynasty also promised to give them land and help them build houses, so there was no shortage of people who needed land, and the families of the engineers were the first batch of beneficiaries of land reform.

Locals dare not rent, they dare to rent. finally has their own land and homeland, and a happy life is just around the corner, and these people who were originally the Great Song Army will definitely love them. The local tycoons and landlords are not fart in their eyes, whoever dares to rob will do it with whom, don't look at them to fight the gold and the Mongols, but there is no ambiguity in the fight with weapons, and after simple military training, they are not afraid of this kind of low-intensity battle, with more wins and fewer losses.

Provoking the masses to fight the masses is a sharp weapon of land reform that Hong Tao experimented on the Shandong Peninsula. Once the contradiction is transferred from the government to the people to the people, the work of the government is carried out. As long as it does not violate the law, the government can relax the supervision of the people to be encouraged, and strictly enforce the law on the groups to be cracked down. It not only dealt a blow to the local opposition forces, but also put on a fair and reasonable posture of a good government. You can not understand it, you don't want to, but you can only fight the government within the scope of the law, beyond this scope, don't blame the government for being ruthless to you, this is not only land reform, but also a good opportunity to popularize the new law.

If you plan not to follow the new rules set by the new court of the Great Song Dynasty, it will be even better. Whoever dares to touch this red line, the Royal Marines or the Great Song New Army will soon appear at your doorstep and uproot your family from here reasonably and legally. As with the punishment method of the Great Song Dynasty in the south, the main culprit and his immediate family members were all hanged, and the corpses were not allowed to be collected; The entire family is overwhelmed, and there is an urgent shortage of such lowest-paid prisoners in the mines to do all kinds of dangerous work, and the vast majority of them will die on the construction site, which is also a disgraceful means for Hong Tao to exterminate the hostile forces under the mask of legality. Although it is dishonorable, it is legal, Hong Tao is using himself as a teaching material to give a lesson in law popularization to the people of the Song Dynasty.

According to Hong Tao's estimates, by next summer, the land reform work on the Shandong Peninsula will basically be completed. At that time, the more than 1,000 principal members of the land reform working group here will be able to sum up the experience of carrying out land reform work on the Shandong Peninsula, and then use them as the backbone to recruit people who are willing to contribute to the new imperial court and get rewards, form a larger-scale land reform army, and begin to popularize the vast northern areas north of the Huai River. At that time, the southern states and roads were basically calm, and he was able to send a part of the Great Song New Army to the north and use rifles and bullets to cooperate with the work of the land reform working group.

After the land reform work was completed in the north in about three years, its own steel mills, forging factories, machinery factories, and chemical factories were almost able to produce shotguns and bullets, and the central government also had time to train more New Song troops according to the new standards, and the effect of the special coastal zones in the south was almost realized. Then we started to carry out comprehensive land reform in the southern region, starting a comprehensive land reform from the coastal areas to the inland, and by the way, popularizing the special zone model, and basically completing the transformation of the main structure of the Great Song Dynasty.

At that time, it was time for the final change of the old regime of the Great Song Empire, and it was time for Emperor Lizong to officially abdicate. The Golden River Empire and the Great Song Empire will negotiate the establishment of a new empire. Of course, the emperor is still Hong Jinhe, but there must be some Great Song officials in the new government, and there must be enough seats in the imperial parliament for the Great Song people, which is also Hong Tao's ultimate plan.

If the process is faster, it will take about ten years, and if it is slower, it will take fifteen years, and if there is any big change in the middle, maybe it will not be completed in 20 years. The main problem now facing Hong Tao is not whether the old bureaucracy and gentry clique of the Great Song Dynasty will cause trouble for themselves, nor whether the Mongols in the north will invade the south again, but time. Whether you can live for fifteen years is a big question, not only to live, but also to live with a clear mind to make sense.

Just after the Spring Festival in 1256, Hong Tao, who was in Lin'an City, suddenly received a report from the sailor, saying that Luo Meimei was cruising in the waters off Hangzhou Bay with a fleet, and he did not want to come to Lin'an City to see him, but to go to the Lisi Islands to see him by himself.

"Your son is getting more and more pedigree to be a king, he doesn't come to pay New Year's greetings to his father and father-in-law, but lets us go to see him, this is the good son you have educated." It happened that Luo Youde was also in Lin'an, and Hong Tao simply took him on a trip, but he couldn't be invited, so he had to squeeze him.

"Why is this kid here again? Didn't I come here once at the beginning of the year, and I also told him not to run this way if he was fine, once your son found out his traces, it would be troublesome. Don't talk about my son, he came to visit us anyway, and he brought you a gift. Your son is well educated, and he didn't know to come to see you, a lonely old man, during the Spring Festival, and he played with me at the negotiation table to negotiate conditions, and he didn't eat a penny. "Luo Youde can't listen to others talk about his son, and Hong Tao is no exception. As soon as he talked about Luo Mei, he thought of those negotiators in the Ministry of Commerce of the Golden River Empire, and it was difficult for Rao, a big profiteer, to take advantage of them.

"We are eating fat with open teeth, and fat (who) doesn't say fat (who)! Let's go, let's see what gifts your son brought to us this time, do you think it will be for you to bring a big grandson? Although Hong Tao talked nonsense, he knew in his heart that Luo Meimei understood the truth, and if it wasn't for something special, he wouldn't have run here for no reason. As for what is special, the salamander should be counted as one when he gives birth.

“…… Then what are you still rubbing, let's go, you don't need to wear makeup or anything anymore for your old face, right? "Luo Youde didn't fight against Hong Tao this time, his biggest heart problem now is that he doesn't have a grandson. Luo Meimei and Hong Salamander's personalities both follow Hong Tao and are not interested in having children too early.

"Be reserved, you are now the vice prime minister of the Great Song Empire, and you can't just run over as soon as anyone shouts. You represent not you personally, but the dignity of the imperial government. Hong Tao still didn't move, half leaning back in his chair and didn't mean to get up.

"Reserved fart! Why should I go see my son soon? Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll go first! Luo Youde snatched the cigar from Hong Tao's mouth, twisted it directly in the ashtray, and issued an ultimatum to Hong Tao.

"It's useless to be in a hurry, it's almost noon now, and it's evening when we rush over. Where do you go to find your son's boat on so many islands? He didn't say where he was going to wait for us. Let's wait until lunch is over before getting on the boat, it's dawn when we get to the place. Hong Tao smiled and took out another cigar and put it in his mouth, then pointed out the window.

“…… You're old and don't cultivate, you're so old, and you like to torture people and play, what's wrong! I have other things to do, call me when I leave, don't bother to pay attention to you! "Luo Youde has nothing to say now, Hong Tao is right, it's useless to go now, it's dangerous to wander around the archipelago at night. But Hong Tao's habit of deliberately flirting with people he hated very much, but he had no choice, so he could only hide from seeing it and simply avoiding it.

In the early morning of the next day, before the sun jumped out of the sea level, a Virginia-class battleship hurriedly rushed out of the mouth of the Qiantang River and sailed away in the direction of the Lisi Islands. Luo Youde was wearing the new dress designed for him by Hong Tao, standing straight at the bow of the boat, holding a large telescope for a lookout, and scanning the sea intently.

"Brother Hong! Brother Hong! Come on, come on! I see them. Not long after the battleship entered the waters of the archipelago, Luo Youde shouted loudly, and at the same time pointed to the left front with a surprised expression.

"If you see it, you see it, it's your grandson and not my grandson, I'm in a hurry!" Along the way, Luo Youde didn't let Hong Tao be idle, and discussed no less than fifty names, ready to be used on his ethereal grandson. This matter was originally Hong Tao's favorite, but when he said a name, Luo Youde vetoed one, the reason was basically that the literary talent was not enough. Hong Tao annoys others and himself to mention Wencai, which pot is not opened! Just ignore him. After finally being idle for a while, he was slumped in a chaise longue wrapped in a fur coat to resist the cold winter wind, and he didn't even think of getting up to go to the bow of the boat like a fool to get cold.

"Not grandson...... It's a boat! Come and see, have you ever seen such a big ship? Luo Youde simply ran to Hong Tao, threw the telescope directly into Hong Tao's arms, and still pointed to the left front.
