Chapter 648: Fulfilling Your Wishes
The way these people dealt with it was also very simple, they had to drive the surveyors away with a sickle and hoe, and in the conflict, the students of Tamsui University were hit in the head with a hoe and died!
Zhang San's reply to this matter is very simple, killing people pays for their lives, as for the rest of the villagers who participated in the fight, all the villagers were sent to the desert island, since they wanted to be together so much, then their wishes would be satisfied.
The brigadier general and division commander were dismissed from his post on the spot and went to the Americas to serve as the captain of the slave replenishment team.
Zhang San's disposition is not limited to this, and with this as a topic, all ministries can learn from it, let all localities take warning, and carry out a centralized cleanup of clan forces and village tyrants in various places, and distribute them all to the Americas.
The whole army was also sorted out, and those who dared to act as a protective umbrella for the underworld and evil forces were all dismissed from their posts and removed from the army, and local officials who bent the law for personal gain and embezzled and accepted bribes were also sorted out in a concentrated manner.
Zhang San didn't want to work hard to conquer the whole country and then the country would become the same again, so this time Zhang San went all out to do this, and even the intelligence department was dispatched to participate in it.
So in this way, Zhang San will have no energy to wage war with the outside world, Zhang San will build and rectify at the same time, and strengthen control while combing, intending to strive to complete the control of the north in one to two years.
When Zhang San was strengthening the rule of officials, Xiangrui came from Shaanzhou, saying that there was a river Qing in the Shaanzhou section, and Zhang San, who knew the truth of Heqing, naturally would not believe what auspicious rui was, but through this incident, Zhang San was reminded that I am afraid that soil erosion on the Loess Plateau should really be treated.
And the Three-North Shelterbelt, do you want to build one yourself? This is an important thing, the grassland has not been over-cultivated and over-grazed in this era, so the wind and sand are only an evil thing in a few places, but in the future, in order to prevent the capital from being troubled by wind and sand, Zhang San decided to start doing it from now on.
Soil erosion on the Loess Plateau is severe, and Zhang San remembers that he once saw a method of building dams in stages and then planting trees to combat soil erosion, but Zhang San felt that a better way was to move out of the local people and restore the local vegetation, leaving only a few suitable places for cultivation, and those who planted trees.
Now the migration of millions of people is a big project, so this can only be included in the long-term planning, but fortunately, after the place is bigger, Zhang San has a local resettlement, for example, there are still many places suitable for farming in the Hexi Corridor.
According to the research of the logistics department, planting one acre of land in the west is equivalent to planting five acres in the east, even if the harvest is less, but as long as the land suitable for cultivation is reclaimed, then it will greatly ease the logistical pressure.
Therefore, it is necessary to reclaim farmland and carry out large-scale afforestation, which is a long-term project, and it is difficult to see the effect in a short period of time, but if you don't do it now, there will be a big problem.
But these things all need money, go around or have little money, you can't do things without money, this is no way, now Zhang San's taxes mainly come from two aspects, one is commercial tax, and the other is the income of Zhang San's various workshops.
Insufficient money can not be solved by printing some money, which can only cause inflation, so Zhang San planned mineral mining in several places in the north, as well as the reclamation of cultivated land, only by increasing the output of various materials, is the real wealth.
Fortunately, Shandong and Hebei have now returned to prosperity and can create a tax revenue, while other places are vast and sparsely populated, but they can still receive a little tax revenue, and it is expected that this year's tax revenue of Dahan will exceed 1400 million taels.
Moreover, with Zhang San's development of the north, it is believed that in the next three years, Dahan's tax revenue will quickly exceed 200 million, and through the new reclamation plan, the logistical pressure will be greatly alleviated in three years.
The increase in taxes allowed Zhang San's army expansion plan to be carried out, and now the strength of the Han Dynasty is nearly 800,000 in 30 divisions of the army, 300,000 in 300,000 cavalry divisions, of which 10 divisions are stationed in overseas territories, and there are only 20 divisions and 500,000 infantry in the entire north.
The 100,000 Han cavalry were stationed in the north to suppress bandits and maintain law and order, while the Mongol cavalry, the cavalry of the Murwei and the Jurchens were stationed in the western border areas to defend against possible invasions from Central Asia and several western states.
Twenty divisions sounds like a lot, but four were stationed in the northeast, one Praetorian Division was stationed near the capital, two in Shandong, two in Shanghai Port, six divisions were stationed along the Yellow River and the Great Song Border, two in the Hexi Corridor, and a small number of troops were stationed in the defense of other areas.
So the current soldiers are a bit insufficient, Zhang San plans to recruit twenty divisions, 500,000 people, for the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, but twenty divisions is a huge pressure for the current economic situation.
In the face of this situation, Zhang San can only recruit and train in batches, Zhang San has focused almost all his energy on the country in recent years, and has paid little attention to overseas except for immigration, but fortunately, the foundation of the navy is thick, and at least for a few decades, no country and any force will be able to compete with the Han.
Now overseas tax revenue still occupies the majority of Zhang San's income, especially Zhenhai City sits on the Strait of Malacca, after several years of development, the population has now exceeded 500,000, and the annual tax revenue created for Zhang San is more than 10 million taels.
Now Zhang San has four major cities overseas, Zhenyin City is the original Sri Lankan City, Zhenhai City is even the new home slope of Malacca, as well as Tamsui City and Zhenwei City. With the exception of freshwater, which prospered because of the abundance of industrial mines, the other three cities prospered on trade.
Therefore, among these four cities, Zhenyincheng and Zhenweicheng have two divisions stationed because of their special status, and the other two are stationed with one division, and these four cities alone have six divisions of troops.
In addition to these six divisions, the remaining troops stationed overseas are all at the battalion and regiment level, so after Zhang San destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, the overseas garrison still has to be strengthened, and Zhang San is not enough for more than one million troops.
In short, there are many things to govern the country, and when Zhang San is not fighting, most of the time is spent in reviewing chapters and holding various meetings, and all kinds of messy things are gathered together and called Zhang San here, so that Zhang San has to work late at night every day.
And next year Zhang San will be forty years old, although he thinks that his body has been good, but he still feels the power of the years, and there is the pressure of not waiting for me, he will be old if he doesn't fight, and there are still many things to do!
Zhang San felt that he would at least restore the land of the Han Dynasty and take the place he wanted to take in his lifetime, but there were still many enemies, and now it was not the strength of the enemy that limited him, but the distance.
