After thinking about the Burma issue, Ding Yuntong ordered the Ministry of the Interior and the Propaganda Department to step up inspections of various localities and strengthen the development of the cult of personality. In some areas where the work is not carried out effectively, it is necessary to resolutely punish the officials in charge.

On the other hand, the work of the Sichuan Special Economic Zone cannot be relaxed. In particular, it is necessary to do a good job in dividing the peasant population into three, six, nine, and so on, so as to serve as the basis for future grain collection.

In fact, this work began at the beginning of the year, and by the end of April 1882 the preliminary division of the peasant composition was complete. It is divided into five major categories, landlords, rich peasants, middle peasants, poor peasants, and hired laborers, and there are many sub-categories below each of them.

The first category, landlords, who occupy the land and do not work for themselves, or only with incidental labor, live by exploitation.

There are also a few sub-categories:

The management of the court and the collection of school rent are also a type of rent exploitation, so they are also considered landlords.

Renting a large amount of land from the landlord, not working himself, subleasing it to others, and collecting land rent, is called the second landlord.

Those who have other occupational income, but occupy and lease agricultural land, are called other constituent and landlords.

The families of the officers and men of the Guards are not considered landlords, but are called land lessors.

The second category, the kulaks, owns a part of the land and rents a part of it. Even if all the land is rented, they possess relatively good means of production and capital, and participate in labor themselves, but they also exploit hired laborers, and they are classified as kulaks.

The third category, the middle peasants: the conditions were similar to those of the kulaks, with the only difference being that there were no hired laborers, no exploitation of others.

There is also a small category of wealthy middle peasants, that is, there is a slight exploitation of others, but it is not regular and major. and the lower middle peasants, that is, the source of livelihood depends on their own labor income, the economic status is low, and the living conditions are below the ordinary middle peasants.

The fourth category, poor peasants: The difference between poor peasants and middle peasants is that middle peasants generally do not sell their labor power, while poor peasants have to sell part of their labor power.

The fifth category, hired labor: completely dependent on the sale of labor.

Ding Yuntong ordered that in the future, the work of requisitioning grain would mainly rely on hired laborers and poor middle peasants, because these people themselves did not have much grain and had nothing to lose. Moreover, it is stipulated that as long as the poor and middle peasants expose, inform, and report those who conceal grain, they will receive a small part of the grain reward.

Ding Yuntong believes that as long as the measures are in place and the rewards are timely, a large number of poor people will rise up to help the government collect grain so that they can share a little soup. In the process, they will have a lot of blood debts, and they will be tied to the government, so that they will become accomplices of the government from the most vulnerable group of people to rebel.

While he was being proud, Foreign Minister Zeng Jize came in to report that Taiichi Tanabe, the Japanese minister to China, had just formally proposed on behalf of the Japanese Government that in order to enhance the friendship between China and Japan, he hoped to invite the Chinese fleet to visit Nagasaki.

Ding Yuntong: Which one is this playing?

Ding Yuntong tried hard to recall, and finally remembered that in his previous life, the Beiyang Navy Division seemed to have visited Japan twice, once to repair it, and once to be invited, and the first of them also caused a bloody conflict, which was called the "Nagasaki Incident".

It seems that the Japanese have the same tricks, and in this life, they are engaged in the same set of invitations, one is to touch the truth and the truth, and the other is to poison domestic public opinion and create an atmosphere of war. Well, let them touch enough, after all, their new fleet is still in the shipyard, so that they can also paralyze the Japanese.

Thinking of this, Ding Yuntong ordered: "Reply to Taichi Tanabe, just say that in view of the friendship between China and Japan, the Chinese fleet has accepted the invitation." ＂

At the same time, Ding Yuntong also felt vigilant, the invitation in this life came earlier than in the previous life, which shows that his crossing still changed the situation. Therefore, the military strength of Japan in the past cannot be used to measure the Japan of the present life.

At this time in the previous life, there were only two cruisers in the Chinese Navy, Chaoyong and Yangwei, but in this life, there are seven warships.

In the previous life, the army was huge, but its combat effectiveness was a mess. In this world, however, there are small but capable guards. And in this life, there is a record of defeating the French Army.

Comparatively speaking, the current world must have greatly stimulated Japan, and Japan will certainly expand its armaments more frantically and rapidly, and its army and navy will naturally be very different from those in previous lives. Therefore, it is necessary to intensify intelligence gathering in Japan.

On the other hand, we should also be more vigilant against Japan's spy network, and the household registration management system can prevent some mainland ronins from wandering around, but it cannot prevent some Japanese spies who have legally applied for permits under the cover of legitimate trade or investment.

Although espionage in Japan began very early, the real climax was after the coup d'état in 1884, and the "Genyosha" was the first organization to conduct secret espionage activities in China, and one of its "achievements" was the establishment of the Oriental Academy on Kunshan Road in Shanghai in 1884.

And the real turning point was when the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters sent Lieutenant Arao Seiki to secretly infiltrate China. Previously, although Japanese spies had penetrated deep into many cities in China, Arao Seiki was the first to organically entangle the staff headquarters with the mainland ronin, so that Japan's espionage activities were systematized and organized.

Before the First Sino-Japanese War, the land of China was full of Japanese spies, and it was as easy and casual as visiting one's own yard.

Ding Yuntong thought to himself: Half of the brain cells are dead, and you have to search your memory, write down all the Japanese spies you can think of, and just follow the map in the future.

An all-night passed, and after meditating and searching for dry intestines, Ding Yuntong wrote down everything he could think of in his memory.

He looked at the piece of paper in his hand and exhaled.

You must know that even if you catch Japanese spies, even if you indiscriminately kill innocents and kill all the Japanese in China, there will still be a large number of fish that will slip through the net. Because many Japanese spies have been completely "Chinese", whether it is clothing, language, or living habits, they are exactly the same as ordinary Chinese, and they cannot be distinguished at all.

However, this piece of paper is full of various spy agencies set up by Japan in China in the previous life, and most of Japan's intelligence network is in it, so this piece of paper can be said to be invaluable.

It is recorded:

Japanese businessman Kishida Ginka, who opened the Shanghai branch of Leshan Yaotang in Shanghai in 1878 and also operated a printing house, can be said to be a pioneer of Japanese spies;

Shanghai Pudong Guangye & Co., founded by Japanese overseas Chinese, is the stronghold of Japanese ronin;

Shanghai Nissin Trade Research Institute, chaired by Nezukazu;

the Shanghai Oriental Studies Museum of the Genyosha;

Arao Sei's Hankou Lezendo Branch;

Japan's Matsuchang & Co. in Tianjin;

The general leader of North China is Aoki Xuanchun in Beijing;

The leader of the southern region is Takeo Takami, disguised as a monk and hiding in the Fayu Temple of Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang;

in the southwest, Ishikawa Wuichi and Takahashi Ken in Sichuan;

Including several legendary Japanese spies in China: Fujishima Takehiko, Mitsutomi Kamio, Kotaro Munakata, etc., as well as that Narawara Chen Masa.

Ding Yuntong remembered that although Japanese spies were everywhere, the main core was these, and he really couldn't remember the others, but as long as these people were arrested, all the spy networks could be smashed in one fell swoop.

However, Ding Yuntong is unwilling to startle the snake now, after all, it is not yet time to start a war. Catch these people, I believe that the Japanese government will send other spies over, and it will be more hidden and cautious, and when the time comes, he will not have the help of the memories of his past life, but will make things worse.

Therefore, Ding Yuntong decided to endure first.

The point is that there are several absolute secrets that cannot be divulged, such as the newly formed divisions of the Guards, as well as the new fleet built in Britain and Germany. In this regard, Ding Yuntong is very confident, like the new fleet, only Peng Yulin, Li Fengbao, Wei Han and others who are responsible for and handling it know, and even Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Guo Songtao and others do not know, even Li Fengbao and others are always monitored by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just in case.

Ding Yuntong's worries were not without reason, in his previous life, even Li Hongzhang's nephew Liu Fen was executed for betraying intelligence to the Japanese.

Treasure the paper close to his body, and Ding Yuntong ordered Xuan Xue Fucheng to see him.
