Chapter 894: All the best

The implementation of the holy law is not so smooth, and there are still chaos in various places, especially in some remote places, where some gentry incite the villagers to make trouble, and they are also repeatedly prohibited.

Fortunately, at this time, Hao Fenglou had absolute force, and in this regard, it was quite similar to the Meiji Restoration at that time, in order to use agriculture to feed industry, and at the same time to crack down on landlords, so that many people even in the harvest year, dozens of acres of land at home, are not hungry, so the Meiji government at that time, in a few years, caused hundreds of rebellions. At that time, the Japanese people's methods were to levy heavy taxes, establish industries, produce armaments in industry, expand the size of the army, and the army suppressed the popular rebellion with absolute force, eliminating all hidden dangers invisibly.

In this respect, the situation of the Hao family is obviously much better than that of the Japanese people, the industrial and commercial capital of Lang Son has been formed, and a large amount of wealth has been accumulated, so there is no need for agriculture to feed back the industry and commerce, so the people's grievances are mainly still in the gentry class, but ordinary farmers have benefited from the sharp drop in land prices.

Originally, not long ago, ordinary peasant households did not belong to the category of 'people', this person, at least in the official sense, for example, the magistrate resigned, and the gentry gave Wanmin umbrellas, this Wanmin did not include ordinary peasant households, this people were limited to scholars and gentry, and as for the evaluation of an official, such as loving the people like a son, the people he loved would never be ordinary people, but gentry.

In fact, the truth is said to be a thousand ways and ten thousand ways, which is nothing more than that the gentry and scholars grasp public opinion, grasp countless resources, and then pass all kinds of ways. For the government, it is just to influence public opinion. As for the 'people' who face the loess and have their backs to the sky. Ignorant and ignorant, it's just a people and grass people. No one will pay attention to them, and no one will have the interest to care about their needs, and what is even more sad is that these people have no demands at all, because they are all 'foolish people', a person who has never walked out of a radius of tens of miles in his life, a person who is illiterate, only God knows how much vision they can have.

And Hao Fenglou did it. It is to use the people to control the people, and use the former 'foolish people' to open up their people's wisdom, so that they can at least read and write, can read newspapers, have some knowledge of the outside world, and can understand their own demands, and then let them begin to understand what is commerce and commerce. Let them know the vastness of the world, and gradually, in this illusion of thinking of themselves as masters, slowly let them stop looking up at the gentry to see the world. And they know that you gentry are nothing remarkable, that's all. These people can be their natural allies.

And the dissatisfaction and resistance of the gentry was a resolute blow. On July 13, Dongping 'people mutined'. The 1st Brigade of the 3rd Battalion of the Lang Son Army was pressed and 16 people were killed. On July 19, the people of Luzhou rebelled, and the Yunnan New Army suppressed the bullets, executing 79 people, the leaders abandoned their bodies, and their families were all assigned to Chongming as slaves. On August 12, a more huge civil uprising occurred in Jiading Prefecture, some gentry incited the people to occupy the county seat, Mu Sheng personally arrived with a large army, besieged the city for three days, broke through on the fourth day, and the thief chieftain surrendered, killing 932 thieves.

This kind of almost iron-fisted method is chilling, and Hao Fenglou even proudly declared in the newspaper that anyone who disobeys must be slaughtered, even if it is not a pity to kill them in vain; Those who harbor resentment must also punish their hearts, eliminate all evil, and never indulge. If you dare to spread rumors and stir up trouble, and talk about the holy law, you must also cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

So all of a sudden, the entire Chengdu Mansion and even the whole Sichuan are honest, some people are obviously not cleaned up, the reason why these gentry dare to make trouble, in the past is to rely on the government can not do anything with them, so in the Ming Dynasty when they were preferentially treated, they jumped up and down, all of them scolded the court endlessly, and took pleasure in insulting officials every day, and as a result, when they entered the Manchu Dynasty, these grandsons knew that the new master was not easy to provoke, so they became slaves one by one, and praised the Son of Heaven every day. Therefore, anyone who is good to them, in the hands of these guys, often becomes a heinous cunzii, scolding every day, and boasting that he is upright, but when he encounters an evil person, he pulls them out and kills them every once in a while, so that they want to be slaves but can't get it, and this wicked person has become a saint, a martial virtue of Wencheng, and an emperor who has chased Yao Shun through the ages.

There is no dirtiest person in the world than this.

Sure enough, in the coming year, after several blows, these people finally stopped, and all kinds of praise for Hao Fenglou finally appeared, they were tossed by Hao Fenglou, and finally knew that it was powerful, the land was sold, and there was silver in their hands, but they heard that the silver in their hands was becoming more and more worthless under inflation, so they were all startled, some went to buy bonds, and some also learned to do business, so they changed one by one, as if they became the defenders of Chen Xue, this matter naturally does not need to be detailed, and Hao Fenglou this' When King Xian arrives at the beginning of spring in the next year, he begins to grasp the work of farming.

Sichuan is a large agricultural province, although the Hao family imports a large amount of grain from the West every year, but self-sufficient agriculture must still be guaranteed, and since the implementation of the holy law, many people have issued a question that grain production must decline, and even some Chen Xueda Confucianism in Langshan is also in question, this is actually very easy to understand, food is the foundation of people in the world, how to develop industry and commerce, if the grain production is insufficient, people are hungry, there is a famine, then what is the use of gold and silver in front of them?

Therefore, Hao Fenglou is extremely concerned about this matter, he has already put into production a few iron mills in Chengdu a few months ago, and does not make weapons, specializing in making agricultural tools, in addition to shovels, hoes, iron plows and rakes, etc., on the other hand, in the winter, Hao Fenglou called all the chiefs to hold a meeting in the city, and thousands of chiefs and chiefs then organized manpower, digging ditches, and irrigating in accordance with Hao Fenglou's intentions. At the same time, the agricultural tools are promoted to the countryside in the way of price reduction, these measures, how effective, but it is not clear, the only thing that makes Hao Fenglou pleased is that after the decree is reached, many things have to be done, and it is much easier and more comfortable, but this agriculture, compared with business and engineering, is stagnant, and the Hao family now governs, not only Langshan, this coastal 'barren land', so it has to pay attention to agriculture.
