Chapter 65 Achievements of Reform
"Time flies!" In the imperial garden, Ning Yuan, who was sitting in a certain pavilion, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar palace, and his heart was full of emotion.
Externally, under the guise of a store in the HP world, Ning Yuan had purchased various material reserves before he came. Therefore, under the control of the Imperius Curse, several famous generals of the Qing Dynasty, with the help of various magic props and magic potions, the Qing army in the past two years can be said to have pacified Tibet, Xinjiang, Taiwan and various frontiers, and truly built the entire Qing Dynasty like an iron bucket.
But inside, an undercurrent that no one is aware of is slowly changing this dynasty ruled by aliens.
"Yes! In just two years, everything has changed. Yang Yun, who was sitting on the side, nodded, "Speaking of which, now that Qianlong also has the reputation of a Ming monarch and the rule of the Qing Dynasty has been consolidated, aren't you afraid of self-defeating?" ”
Ning Yuan's amber eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp gaze inside that made it difficult for ordinary people like Yang Yun to look at directly was hidden, "The general trend is on me, why should I care about some trivial things." "His self-confidence is his own magic. After going through too much, he is no longer an ordinary otaku, he has learned to believe in his own strength and cling to his beliefs. It's not conceit, it's a kind of self-confidence, a pride that belongs to the practitioner.
He needs to have this kind of self-confidence, believe that he can rule everything, believe that he can hold up the throne, believe that he can rule over all beings, if he doesn't even have such self-confidence, how can he be a god. Ning Yuan is consciously honing his will, familiar with the feeling of being in control of everything, and learning how to be a ruler......
"It's also said that the government is clear, the country is rich and the people are strong, but in the final analysis, it's just a wedding dress for you." Yang Yun looked at Ning Yuan, who did not have a trace of the momentum of the superior on his body, but made people feel an inexplicable pressure, and understood in his heart that this was Ning Yuan becoming stronger.
"How is the selection of Han Chinese officials now?" Although Yang Yun was just an ordinary college student before the crossing, she happened to study administrative management, so Ning Yuan also gave her some work to do in the past two years.
"Those who really have real talent and real learning have been placed in some inconspicuous but very critical positions, and some people who can only slap horses have basically been placed in the right positions." Yang Yun reported.
Ning Yuan knew what the other party said was the appropriate position, wasn't it just put in a conspicuous position to cover others as a target, in the end, the Manchu and Han were still opposed, and the Manchu and Han families were just talking. Therefore, it is impossible for one family to dominate the situation in the imperial court, even if the entire high-level is under Ning Yuan's control, it is necessary to consider the ideas of some lower levels, after all, they are the majority.
"So what's the reform?" In the past, most books were connected with a double-sided mirror, so Ning Yuan only knew some general ones.
"It's basically no problem, after all, those in the court who may oppose vested interests are under your control! However, there are some troubles in the local area, after all, it is impossible for the imperial court to control every place, and there are not a few people who are far away from the emperor. After all, even the most modest reform will harm the interests of some people......" Yang Yun said with some regret.
Ning Yuan nodded, "It's not bad to be able to do this in two years." ”
The environment of Beijing is very different from what Ningyuan saw two years ago, first of all, the sanitary conditions, the domestic garbage that used to be everywhere on the streets is now gone, there are garbage bins on every street, garbage rooms for residents to dump garbage, and then every once in a while there will be a special person to transport the domestic garbage away and bury it (now there is not much non-degradable garbage). The domestic manure has a special storage location due to the rise of biogas, and it will not be dumped into the water source or other places at will.
The streets have been replaced with concrete from loess or bluestone slabs, which appear smoother and more open, and ditches have been opened on the roadside, so that they will not flood the gold mountains or turn into mud pits when it rains. Various streets, markets, and shops have also been planned and managed in a unified manner, and houses and buildings in many places have also been demolished and rectified, and the whole city has made Ning Yuan and Yang Yun feel like they have returned to some ancient cities in modern times.
As for the residents, because of the reform of industry and agriculture, their living standards have also been greatly improved, and they can at least be well clothed and fed. It can be said that with Ningyuan's technology, in just two years, the productivity of the Qing Dynasty has been greatly improved, and I am afraid that it will not take more than ten years to reach the level of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
In terms of economic and commercial reform, Ning Yuan also made great efforts, relying on the heart of truth to deduce a reform plan that could be directly copied to the Qing Dynasty during this period. With this perfect plan, which was definitely in line with this era, the commerce and economy of the Qing Dynasty developed considerably. Although many people questioned the suspicion that the imperial court came forward to guide economic development and compete with the people for profit, and even many scholars thought that businessmen could not be on the stage, and the imperial court was elevating the status of businessmen, but since there was no opposition within the imperial court, they could only accept it silently.
Since ancient times, the status of merchants has been very low, and it can be seen that the so-called Shinong industry and commerce are ranked last.
Now the Qing Dynasty's reforms full of modern ideas, although opposed by the decadent forces, but also won the favor of many big businessmen, so in two years, all kinds of commercial activities flourished, and commercial houses, foreign firms, and factories can be said to have blossomed everywhere. Fortunately, there are still strict laws to regulate, otherwise the entire Qing Dynasty would have gone long ago towards the road of capitalism.
It's not that capitalism is bad, but the primitive accumulation of capital is bloody, and Ning Yuan didn't want this kind of thing to spread unscrupulously in the Qing Dynasty when he was not ready to transfer the contradictions that would inevitably arise from the development of capitalism to other countries.
In the military aspect, the changes in the military system, the reform of the Eight Banners Army, the establishment of the navy, and the development and improvement of new weapons are all being carried out in an orderly manner. Originally, the reform in this area should have been the most resistant, after all, many aspects have shaken the rule of the Manchus over the Han people, but because of Ning Yuan's relationship, the reform in this area is the easiest of all reforms. After all, the Manchus were not many in number, and Ning Yuan also controlled the leaders of the entire Manchu who could speak. The rest of the people basically couldn't jump a few times, and then they were crushed by the general trend. On the contrary, there is all kinds of resistance to other reforms involving the whole country.
In the area of education, Ning Yuan didn't make much action for the time being, but only slightly developed Western studies such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, and the general direction has not changed. Ning Yuan didn't want to shoot himself in the foot and open up the wisdom of the people, which would not be conducive to the spread of faith. However, Ning Yuan also knew that this was something he could not change, and if he couldn't open the people's wisdom, then it was obviously impossible for the country to truly prosper. Therefore, what Ning Yuan did was just to go with the flow, fortunately, this thing could not be solved in a short period of time, at least it would take several generations of hard work, and these times were the golden age of his God of Truth Cult.
"By the way, how is the spread of the Cult of Truth!" Ning Yuan suddenly asked, his first target was the Manchus, after all, he was close to the water, and even the heads of the people were controlled, so it was much easier to act.
In the past two years, he has felt that the power of faith has been generated in this world, but the specific situation still needs to be understood.
"It's not bad, after all, with the emperor and the Manchu remnants taking the lead, basically the belief in the God of Truth has been recognized by the Manchus, although there may not be many people who really believe sincerely, but it can be regarded as a familiar god."
"In this way, it seems that the spread of faith still needs to use some extraordinary means!" Ning Yuan sighed, he decided to go to the world of "Inception" as soon as possible, get that set of inception and thought implantation technology, and turn the entire Manchu upper-class nobles into his divine servants.
At that time, he will be able to leave this world with peace of mind, no matter how he says that this is just a demonless world, it is really not worth his time here. Therefore, before that, he must lay the groundwork as soon as possible so that he can leave without any worries. After all, no matter how strong the magic is, there is a time limit, and it is impossible for him to run back at any time to add the Imperius Curse to those people, so the Friends of Nature can only rest assured that they will be transformed into their own.
As for the seed of power that can also turn people into their faithful servants? Ning Yuan said that these people were not qualified enough for him to use this method, and no matter how he said it, making this kind of thing would hurt him. Therefore, the Inception and Thought Implantation Technology is the key to changing all this, and it will also be an indispensable thing on his path to godhood.
In this regard, Ning Yuan even thought of the virtual reality technology in "The Matrix", when the time comes, he can even clone countless people, throw them into various virtual worlds, and then subtly guide them to believe in themselves.
However, this is only an assumption, and before he can go further, he needs to flesh himself out and gather various techniques.
"How's that happening to you, you genius perfumer?" Yang Yun picked up the gift that Ning Yuan had brought by the way from the stone table, and gently sniffed the charming aroma emanating through the bottle.
"He's a genius, that's what everyone who taught him says, and now he's basically learning to a point, according to him, he doesn't have much to learn in terms of technique, and then he can only rely on inspiration to improve himself, so I asked him to start making some ordinary perfume to practice, how do you feel?" Ning Yuan looked at the delicate bottle in Yang Yun's hand and asked.
"Unbeatable." As a woman, she naturally understands this thing well, so she can understand its value better.
