Not long after Shi Xianggu led the First Fleet back to Hong Kong, Liang Pengfei received the news that He Lin was appointed as the governor of Yungui, and the Great Qing State finally sent out the two most important generals in his hands, which naturally marked a signal that in any case, on the occasion of the 60th year of Qianlong, these White Lotus traitors and rebellious Miao people must be suppressed. [No pop-up novel network]

It is also so that Emperor Qianlong can retire with peace of mind, spend his sixty-year career as an emperor successfully, and transfer the position to his son Prince Jia Yongyan. It only took a month and a half for He Lin to rush directly from Beijing to Guizhou to take command, and in addition, Fukangan and Funing, the governor of Huguangdong, also led their own armies to suppress it.

There are more than 100,000 troops, and they are divided into ways to exterminate the White Lotus traitors, however, for a full three months, I listened to the military reports of the court all day long, and suppressed a few stockades today, and a few more villages tomorrow.

But the actual situation, Liang Pengfei, who was watching coldly, knew better than anyone that those Miao people went to play hide-and-seek tactics with these three-way army by taking advantage of their familiarity with the location, making more than 100,000 officers and soldiers dizzy, and from time to time they also let Miao people talk viciously, in less than half a year, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers lost their divisions, although they beheaded no less than 30,000, but those who really belonged to those bandits were afraid that less than half of them.

This protracted war caused those powerful generals to take advantage of various opportunities to fabricate good news in exchange for the emperor's reward, and the personal wealth of the commanders who went out also increased sharply with the continuous allocation of large amounts of military spending.

Fukangan was also named Beizi for falsely reporting his military exploits, and enjoyed the same privileges as the prince of the same lord. Although in the early Qing Dynasty, there were Han Chinese kings, and Mongols were also awarded various titles, but he was the first Manchu outside the clan to be crowned this lord during his lifetime.

He Lin is slightly better, but the problem is that he can't stop his subordinates from falsely reporting their war exploits, after all, this is the disadvantage of the entire national army, however, He Lin has also been promoted again and again because of those "war exploits".

However, the gold and silver treasures in the Manchu treasury were decreasing at a frantic rate, and in the end, Qianlong could only take the money for the construction and maintenance of the garden from his inner house.

Compared with the continuous war in the middle of the continent, the coastal provinces were relatively calm, although there were still pirates from time to time, but they did not make much noise, because the officials of the coastal provinces found that those pirates seemed to be very distinctive, and did not seem to be very interested in ordinary people, even the coastal cities did not have much interest, they seemed to only target the homeless.

And those displaced people who fled their homes because of the war in the central part of the continent have become a heavy pressure on the big cities in the coastal provinces, but after a period of time, the number of these displaced people will be greatly reduced, or even disappear.

Some well-intentioned people found out after investigation that some people were tricking these homeless people to go to sea to find a life, so some officials who had read and read stupid birds became very angry and wantonly searched for those rumor-mongers, thinking that those people were destroying the stability and unity of the Qing Dynasty.

And the vast majority of prefects and county magistrates, with a feeling of emotion and anticipation, quietly watched as those pirates "plundered" those homeless people and went to sea.

Because, when the officials were busy scooping up money in their pockets, they could still take care of those displaced people, and even more, under the banner of appeasing the displaced people, they were everywhere reaching out to the local big businessmen.

However, if they get the money, no matter how greedy these officials are, they will not be able to stuff it all into their own pockets, so they will always put on a little benevolent face, put up a few porridge fields, and hype up how the court and themselves are close to the people and love the people.

If those homeless people take the initiative to consciously follow those rumor-mongers, as long as they are not making trouble on their own ground, then they are naturally desperate, but the relief money that should be asked for from the court still needs to be dropped, whether they should raise funds from the gentry or do not do anything, in short, as long as there are homeless people, there is no trouble on their ground, and then disappear, this means that they have completed a big thing, as the obligations and responsibilities of officials, and by the way, they can also scrape a lot of wealth, so, Not only did they not go to the court to cover up the affairs of the homeless people fleeing to the sea, but they had the intention to cover it up, anyway, if they went out of their own ground, it had nothing to do with them, besides, those pirates were elusive, and the sailors were useless, they couldn't control it, what did it have to do with me?

And those who are called by the government call the whistleblowers call themselves guides, but they are working diligently as always, almost wherever there are displaced people, they are there, and many of these people are Chinese compatriots who were exiled in Nanyang last year or earlier, and they call in their familiar local voices, and use their words to encourage groups of displaced people to leave those cities, go to those simple docks by the sea, and take those boats, with a feeling of anxiety and the sorrow of being far from home. Embarking on a new path.

But when they got on the boats, they were greeted by bowls of steaming fish soup, and enough food to keep them filled, and of course a bedding and bed, and those guides also followed the boats, constantly calming their minds, solving their difficulties, and even having doctors patrolling the boats to treat them, in short, everything made them feel so unbelievable, as if they were in a dream, and some even got up early the next morning and were terrified. I'm afraid that everything yesterday was just a dream of Huang Liang.

After a few or a dozen days of sailing, when they disembarked from their ships, they were greeted by officers and men who were not fierce and vicious, and came to take away the most precious wealth in their arms or in their hands. Instead, groups of mainland residents who have settled in the local area enthusiastically help them go here to receive daily necessities, arrange their housing, and even set aside fields for them and give them tools to cultivate here.

In addition, there are schools, where children of former and new arrivals are eligible for free admission, and they can also receive free uniforms and books at the school, where every student can enjoy a hearty meal at noon while studying at the school.

Everything is like a dream, everything is like walking in an illusion, and only when they hold the fat soil of the field that they have been allotted with their hands, and smell the thick and fragrant smell of the land, do they know that everything is so real.

Here, there is no distinction between landlords and tenants, in addition to the ten acres of land in each person's hand, the other income from reclamation will also become the land of these displaced people, the first five years are exempt from tax, and between five years and ten years, only half of the tax is taken, that is, one tax out of ten, and after ten years, the income per mu is two out of ten.

Although Liang Pengfei once suggested abolishing the agricultural tax, his suggestion was exchanged for countless pairs of white eyes, and even several of his mothers-in-law expressed extreme incomprehension, which made Liang Pengfei very depressed, but his suggestions and ideas were indeed too advanced.

After all, today's society has not yet reached the commodity economic society, and still belongs to the social structure with agriculture as the main body, even in the West today, it is not much better.

In this case, if the agricultural tax is abolished and only the commercial tax and the industrial tax are relied on, it is simply not enough to support Liang Pengfei's social progress and development needs, after all, all infrastructure requires great capital investment, and the commodity economy is underdeveloped, Liang Pengfei's proposal can only be shelved in a stupid way.

However, Zhao Yi's old guy did not give up the opportunity to hit Liang Pengfei, not only laughed at Liang Pengfei for not understanding the people's livelihood economy, but also criticized Liang Pengfei for changing the name of the government service to a policeman, thinking that Liang Pengfei was a troubled move to have nothing to do when he was full. Then, the two quarreled over such a thing......

"How can this be, I said, old fellow, do you know what the term servant means in the minds of the common people? It represents bullies and rampant behavior, excesses and miscellaneous taxes, usury, bullying the good and fearing evil, and all the harm done to the common people by the old-style officials. Liang Pengfei glared at the old guy sitting across the table and said loudly.

Beside them, those staff officers and staff members had already put down their work at this moment, and listened to the argument between the two silently, with a hint of amusement, a hint of helplessness, and a hint of understanding.

Many times, these people can always get a lot of useful things from the topics that the two of them are talking about, and they also deepen their deep intentions for some of Liang Pengfei's actions, and gradually realize Liang Pengfei's good intentions.

There are only two parties who seem to know the psychology of the people around them, anyway, as long as they feel that something is not pleasing to the eye, Zhao Yi, the old man, will definitely be crooked, although Liang Pengfei is not a hot temper, but he can't stand this old guy who always questions his wise, great, and far-sighted decisions, so now he is pinched again.

"Then what do you mean by that policeman, can the people understand? You must know that although the people are not interested in the government service, and even very disgusted, after all, it represents the government and the implementation and execution of the ruling class...... "Zhao Yi crossed Erlang's legs, holding a special mellow Baiyun Mountain in his hand, and obliquely picked the corners of his eyes, looking like an old hob meat.
