The compulsory soldier system in the "Sufu Provincial Military Armament Regulations" is the township soldier system, and the population of every 25 households with only two Sima units, each of which must produce five township soldiers, with a service period of three years, is under the jurisdiction of the Township Soldier Department of the Suzhou Military Department and the local Township Soldier Department. In addition to being the local militia, the village soldiers are also the reserves of the West Temple, and their food and equipment are partly allocated by the General Sacred Treasury and partly by the local government. Township soldiers do not have as rich wages and treatment as professional soldiers, and each township soldier's food, clothing, and housing are covered by the township soldiers' department, and there is only a small monthly allowance, but the families of those who become township soldiers can get the government's preferential policy of reducing or reducing some taxes, so the people are still willing to send their children and nephews to be township soldiers, and even in some places they can't squeeze into the township soldiers.

In this way, Sufu Province will maintain a professional standing army of 150,000 and a reserve of nearly 500,000 township soldiers. There is no way to maintain such a large number of troops, because there is still a war, and the West Palace will have to send troops to fight against the Qing army on three sides after the beginning of spring, in addition to the Soviet-Chinese campaign that is still going on at the moment, the Staff Department of the West Temple is already preparing for the war in Fujian and Jiangxi, and without a strong military strength as a guarantee, it is difficult for the West Hall to complete the three-sided attack.

In the "Sufu Provincial Military Armament Regulations", the official positions and ranks are separated from the official department, and the military positions and military ranks in the Xidian Army are distinguished, from the two Sima to the military marshal, and from the beginning of the supervision of the army to the military rank of the prime minister, for example, Chen Yu became the commander of the Left First Army in Huzhou, with the same post as the inspection point, and led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. The separation of military ranks and ranks has made some unreasonable phenomena in the Xidian army disappear, such as having a commander in an army and having people with official positions such as supervising the army, which will create a situation where there are more officers and fewer soldiers. After the separation of military ranks and ranks, redundant officials were also eliminated in disguise.

Xiao Yungui originally wanted to introduce the military rank system of generals, colonels, and lieutenants in later generations, but he talked to Zuo Zongtang and others, and Zuo Zongtang said that captains have always been higher than the military rank of colonel, so he changed it. In the army, all the colonels are small colonels, which may be difficult for people to accept.

Only then did Xiao Yungui understand that compared with the reform of political affairs, the reform of the army was a more difficult matter. The reason is very simple: Whether it is the tactics of warfare, the establishment system, or even the use of weapons, the military is a valuable experience gained after the army's long-term training in blood and fire. It is even more difficult to change the old-fashioned thinking in the army, because the mature establishment and tactics of an army have all been tested by war, and they are all experience gained by paying one life after another, and it is very difficult for you to reform the army. Xiao Yungui is now also beginning to understand that the British military Weishenme resisted replacing the round warhead with a conical warhead. Because the round warhead is something that the British army paid a lot of actual combat costs to form, the military will not easily agree to change it.

Therefore, Xiao Yungui will not dwell on such trivial matters as military ranks, he will focus more on the military reform of other aspects of the Taiping Army in the West Palace.

The "Sufu Provincial Agriculture, Forestry and Tea Silk Regulations" is a charter on the agriculture of Sufu Province issued by the Department of Agriculture of the Ministry of Households, which clearly plans the grain production areas and the cultivation ratio of cash crops such as tea and raw silk in various parts of Sufu Province, and the grain production of Sufu Province must ensure that the military and civilian needs of a province are not enough. It is also necessary to supply a part of Tianjing, so it is not allowed to allow the people to cultivate cash crops such as tea and raw silk without control. Most of the land is still to be reserved for grain production. At the same time, the charter also clarified the price of purchasing surplus grain from farmers. This price is basically in line with the current price, and it is also a measure to protect grain farmers. In addition to paying the grain tax, the peasants kept enough grain for their own rations, and most of the surplus grain was exchanged for silver money to buy other daily necessities. Protect the interests of grain-producing farmers. In addition, the charter has plans and incentives for fishing, forestry, animal husbandry, and other farm side businesses in Suphuc province. In short, this charter is a charter to encourage the people to resume production as soon as possible and to protect the interests of the peasants.

The "Sufu Provincial Regulations on Saving the Sick and Helping the Weak" is a social welfare decree, and the Taiping Army has already had departments such as the Children's Hall and the Old and Weak Hall to take care of orphans and the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled in society. This charter only sorts out the previous affairs as a detailed decree, and the principle is probably the same. Orphans, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are taken care of by the local government, and at the same time, the local government organizes these people to do what they can to repay the society. The Taiping army has a lot of experience in the front, orphans can learn culture, and when they are sixteen years old, they will join the army for training, and their qualifications are better than haode, and they have the opportunity to study abroad, in short, these orphans have been sold to the West Temple for a long time. The old, weak, sick and disabled do some work to manage the city's cleaning and sanitation, and also do some urban management work, in short, they do their best, and the West Temple will not raise people who are lazy and lazy.

The "Sufu Provincial New School Charter" stipulates that all localities should gradually carry out the popularization of Mongolian education, and the annual expenditure of each county in local education should also clearly stipulate that it should account for about 5 to 10 percent of the local expenditure budget. At the same time, Jihua built a number of new middle schools in the county capitals, which not only learned traditional Chinese culture, but also opened Western subjects. In addition, in Shanghai, Li Shanlan presided over the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Sufu Province Shanghai Dabai Science Hall, this school was presided over by Li Shanlan, and invited Chinese and foreign scientists to join, at first it was Li Shanlan and others engaged in academic research, becoming the predecessor of the first university in modern China.

When it comes to Western learning, although Xu Naizhao and others are not raising any objections, Xiao Yungui can see that they still have reservations in their hearts, and what they represent behind them is the traditional Chinese old Confucianism. There have always been a lot of scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I believe that after the opening of a new school in the West Palace, there will still be many people in Sufu Province who oppose it, but the conservative Shili pressure faced by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should not be too great, after all, they are "anti-thieves", and they don't have to keep the ancestral system of the Manchu Dynasty, and they will not pay attention to the old Confucianism of the Manchu Dynasty. That's the good thing about the rebels, everything can be smashed and started over.

But Hong Yun'er also proposed that the energy of the folk conservative shili should not be underestimated, and under her auspices, the edict began to compile several books, intending to be widely published to correct the public. One is the "Xinhua Dictionary", which is to eliminate the influence of the "Kangxi Dictionary" among the people. The second is the "New Confucianism Collection" compiled by Zuo Zongtang and others, that is, to publicize Confucianism to restore the old concept of Confucianism before the Qing Dynasty, reform the old customs of today's Confucianism, and disclose the true face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to suppress the development of Confucianism. There is also the book "The Use of Middle School Sports" compiled by Hong Yuner, in which Hong Yuner stole Zhang Zhidong's words and proposed that Heaven should treat Western learning with a learning attitude of middle school as the body and Western learning as the use. After the release of these books, the Public Opinion Department under Wang Libin's charge also began to publish the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's first newspaper to cooperate with the propaganda of the West Temple.

Although there are books and newspapers as propaganda, but later after the new school was launched, it still encountered a lot of resistance, but Hong Yuner and Xiao Yungui felt that it was reasonable and unexpected, but after all, the West Hall still took the step of running a new type of education, and this step must also be taken, because to transform a country, education needs to go first.

The "Sufu Provincial Salt and Iron Liquor Industry Regulations" re-regulated some special industries controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past, such as salt and iron, which have always been controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially the salt industry, which has also become an important symbol of the collusion between officials and businessmen to exploit the people. Hong Xiuquan and others believe that wine is made of grain, and more wine means less food, and less food will make the people starving, and wine is not a good thing, drinking too much and making mistakes will also corrode people's hearts, so alcohol is banned, and tobacco is almost banned because of this.

But in Xiao Yungui's view, these things are actually commodities, commodities that will appear only when people need them, and Sufu Province encourages industry and commerce, so naturally it cannot cut off the livelihood of the people who rely on these for a living. Therefore, the West Temple issued this charter, re-stipulating the methods for managing the salt, iron, wine, tobacco, sugar and other miscellaneous industries in Sufu Province. In principle, Xidian still encourages private industries such as tea, salt, sugar, tobacco and liquor, while minerals are mined and operated in the form of government-private joint ventures. The biggest change is the salt industry, the west hall abolished the old Manchu system, the implementation of a new ticket salt law, the abolition of the nest, regardless of the gentry, businessmen and people, as long as the tax can be carried, and in Sufu Province, no matter what county, can be sold at will. In this way, the monopoly of salt merchants and salt gangs on the salt industry has been further broken, and as soon as there are more salt goods, the price of salt will naturally drop, and the people will be able to afford salt.

The "Detailed Rules of Doctrine of Sufu Province" is a Taiping Christian text compiled by Hong Yun'er, which borrows the doctrine of worship of God and the original doctrine of Christianity, and at the same time incorporates some Chinese Confucian habits to form the Taiping Christian doctrine. Among them, some superstitious and ignorant things of God worship have been eliminated, and some dogmas that Christianity does not allow the worship of ancestors have been eliminated, and this Taiping Christianity has become more inclusive. At the same time, it stipulates some principles for the construction of churches in various places, and at the same time clarifies some regulations for worship, and also clarifies the registration system for the common people to believe in religion.

The discussion of various laws and regulations of the new deal reached the conclusion of Zuihou, and it took more than half a month in total. All the laws and regulations have been added or amended, and the most revised is the criminal system, but Zuihou has been decided through collective discussion. On the day of the second dragon of February in the old calendar, the Xiwang Mansion of Suzhou promulgated more than 10 decrees, more than 20 articles of association, and more than 30 detailed rules in one breath, and reformulated the policy on the military, civilian, agricultural, industrial and commercial Pepsi in Sufu Province.

Subsequently, Xiao Yungui announced the beginning of the new policy in Sufu Province, officials at all levels and localities should implement the new policy, and the Supervision Department and other departments began to supervise the implementation of the new policy. Considering that everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones, Xiao Yungui allowed officials at all levels and localities to report directly to the Xiwang Mansion in Suzhou once they found that there was something inappropriate in the new policies and regulations. At the same time, various ministries and localities also began to introduce a new government budget system, and in accordance with the requirements of the new policy, they began to formulate the first three-year period of Sufu Province.

Since then, the West Temple began to reform and change the law, known as the "Sufu New Deal" in history, which laid a solid foundation for the Taiping Army of the West Temple to take charge of national politics later, and also laid the foundation for the prosperity and strength of southern Jiangsu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
