"What? And will you judge them? Helping the people! How can you do that? In this way, you will be cut off from the world's noble clan! Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the wealthy family of the scholar clan is the middle force of the world, basically holding the lifeblood of the world, no matter how chaotic the world is, or the change of dynasty, the scholar clan has never died out. Do you really think that the strength of these people can be compared with that of the nobles? Don't forget, since the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, it has never been the people who have won the world! Senior brother knows that you are an ambitious person, and if you want to realize your ideals, you must respect the noble clan and gain their support! Listen to my advice, and let things go while there is still room for relaxation! Sun Yuanhua was shocked when he saw Liu Fan and heard his thoughts, and hurriedly persuaded Liu Fan

"Senior brother! I have always believed that the power of the people in the world is the greatest! No one can ignore this power! These nobles only have a monopoly on knowledge and wealth! With the development of science and technology, the printing and paper industry is becoming more and more advanced, and one day the monopoly of the scholars will be broken. Liu Fan! It is to break this cage in advance! Emancipate the minds of the people of the world, open up the wisdom of the people, so that they will never be oppressed like this again! Liu Fan understands too well how powerful the power of the people is, and in this late Ming Dynasty, if he wants to save the perilous, he does not rely on the emperor, nor the scholars, nor the budding capitalist businessmen, but the thousands of people in the world, only by relying on this force can he defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, catch up with the West, and re-establish the Chinese nation on the top of the world. Therefore, from the very beginning, Liu Fan was destined to stand on the opposite side of these greedy, ignorant, and stubborn scholars.

After a pause, Liu Fan continued: "And! Brother! I can't go back! Now the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty is so serious, the people are deeply suffering, if you want to make some achievements in such an environment, the land is an unavoidable hurdle. If we want to solve the land problem, whether it is reducing rent and interest or sorting out taxes, it will touch the interests of these noble landlords, and then offend them. Since they are all offended, why not be thorough? Am I going to wait for them to take revenge? At this point, I don't have much more to say! Senior brother, can you help me? ”

"Alas!" Sun Yuanhua sighed, his heart was also entangled, years of education made him more inclined to the scholar clan in his heart, because he was originally a member of the scholar clan, and now Liu Fan's attitude was aggressive, forcing him to make a choice! Is it emotionally important? Or is sanity important? Sun Yuanhua couldn't make a choice for a while! But when he thought of Liu Fan's life-saving feelings and the explanation of his teacher, compared with those gentry who didn't know each other, the balance in Sun Yuanhua's heart was still more inclined to Liu Fan. This is the last time! No matter what you do this time, I'll support you! But after this time, no matter what happens, I will not be involved, and I don't want to be this empty prefect, so I should concentrate on my firearms research rather than bother with these miscellaneous things. After this time, I won't be in Jiaozhou, you can hand over the arsenal to me! After that, I devoted myself to the study of firearms! After that, he stuffed the prefect's seal in his arms into Liu Fan's hand, and stepped out of the hall without looking back.

Liu Fan looked at Sun Yuanhua's lonely back, felt uncomfortable for a while, raised his hand and wanted to call him to stop, but the words came to his mouth and finally did not speak, because such a result was exactly what Liu Fan wanted! Isn't it?

Putting aside the hesitation in his heart, Liu Fan devoted himself to dealing with the land in Jiaozhou, first sending people to try these landlords, the sentence that should be sentenced, the exile that should be exiled, and the treatment that should be handled. After handing over the matter to Wang Yong, Liu Fan issued an order in the name of the prefect and the garrison to start land reform in the whole of Jiaozhou! Sent political school students to re-measure the land and count the population.

Then Liu Fan issued an order, first, to reclaim the land of these landlords under the name of the garrison, and according to the number of people, each male household can receive ten acres of land, and women can receive five acres. The second is to carry out a comprehensive rent and interest reduction policy, and all land rents within Jiaozhou shall not exceed 3 into 5. Third, small loans are allowed, and seeds are distributed to the people free of charge, and cattle are leased. The garrison charges only a small amount of rent. Fourth, encourage the people to raise poultry and livestock, and the army will purchase them at the market price! Finally, in order to prevent land annexation, Liu Fan also issued an order stipulating that all allocated land belonged to the garrison government, and land was not allowed to be bought and sold without the order of the garrison government, but children and grandchildren could inherit it. And these lands are not given to them for free, Liu Fan knows the truth of "Shengmi En's fight against rice", and the current situation does not allow Liu Fan to be so "generous". The land allocated to the people will be redeemed. According to Liu Fan's vision, the land would be given a period of 15 years, and in the first five years, the people who were allocated the land would hand over 60% of the income from the harvested grain as redemption. Thirty-five of them are ground rents, and the rest are ransoms. In the last five years, 50% will be handed over, and 40% will be handed over in the last five years. Fifteen years from now, the land cultivated by these people will be owned by individuals!

As soon as this order was issued, it shocked the entire Jiaozhou. The people couldn't believe their ears and never imagined that one day they would be able to own their own land. Fifteen years is a bit of a long time, and there is still a ransom to pay, but there's still hope, isn't it? Suddenly, the people of Jiaozhou burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, and with the help of the people, the students of the political school worked very smoothly, and the measurement and distribution of land were completed in only half a month.

Since then, the people of Jiaozhou have their own land, and Liu Fan also tied them to his chariot. The people of Jiaozhou also knew where their land came from, and once Liu Fan's garrison lost power, the land they got would be reduced to nothing. In order to protect their land, these people dare to make enemies of anyone! In order to protect their own interests, the people of Jiaozhou asked Liu Fan to send his children to the army, and Liu Fan could not refuse in the face of the enthusiasm of the people! And this is exactly what Liu Fan expected.

Liu Fan took advantage of the situation and announced that the army would carry out a new round of recruitment, covering the entire Shandong, and in the past two years, the army had shocked Shandong, and the treatment was also notoriously good. It is estimated that more than 10,000 of the 5,000 people will be recruited after layers of screening, which is more than double the estimate. Liu Fan thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't bear to give up so many excellent soldiers, anyway, he was not short of money now, so he simply recruited them together. With the addition of new recruits, the Broken Army has become an army of more than 15,000 people.
