The Ming army stole a lot of money, grain, and jewelry from the homes of the gentry, so that the treasury of various places was full, and officials and officials from all over the country worked overtime to count the money, grain, and jewelry, and it was not until seven days later that the registration was finally completed.

The squire fell, and Su Yan was full!

In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation, 58 gentry families were raided, and more than 7.87 million taels of silver were seized including silver tickets, as well as valuable jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, the price of which cannot be estimated for the time being.

In terms of grain, the 15,000 stone that I said with Zhang Huangyan earlier was actually just a drop in the ocean (the previous chapter was also revised), according to the grain discount, a total of 238,400 stone was put into storage, note, this is not all, in fact, the Ming army also captured more grain, but many of them have become old and inedible because of the long storage age.

After getting the news, Su Yan and Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but be even more angry - natural disasters and man-made disasters in the north, famine everywhere, and the terrifying phenomenon of cannibalism can be seen everywhere, but the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have a large amount of grain stored in their homes, and they would rather rot the grain in the warehouse than take it out to serve the country.

Su Yan is okay, he is very aware of the inferior nature of the gentry clan from later generations, and Zhang Huangyan is almost angry, if it weren't for his sanity, he would have pulled out his sword and cut down those moths who had no king and no father.

Of course, Su Yan would definitely not let them have a good time.

A dynasty wants to break the deadlock of land annexation, tearing down and rebuilding is the best solution, the squire of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation has been entrenched for several generations, has long been deep-rooted, only by the spread of the acres can not completely solve the problem, the removal of all their physical sense is the fastest and most effective way.

Therefore, Su Yan immediately appointed Zhang Huangyan as the chief judge, and held a public trial in the Jiangning Mansion to sentence these countries for moths.

Zhang Huangyan wanted to deal with them personally, and after getting Su Yan's appointment, he didn't worry about being hated by the gentry clan, so he agreed without thinking about it, and was gearing up, waiting for the day of the trial with great fighting spirit.

At the same time as dealing with the gentry family, the two policies of persuading mulberry to change agriculture and apportioning into the mu are also vigorously carried out, the policy of apportioning the mu has abolished the poll tax that has lasted for thousands of years, so that the common people can remove the heavy shackles on their heads, the commoners are the most real, whoever is good to them, they will support whom, and Su Yan's policy of abolishing the poll tax is enough for them to support.

Encouraged by the rewards, those who could cultivate the land, whether on the plains, tidal flats, hills, or mountains, were reclaimed by the people and planted sweet potatoes and potato seeds received from the local government.

Although many places have to pay more taxes, this is nothing compared to the heavy poll tax.

With money in hand, Su Yan will be able to boldly carry out infrastructure construction.

If you want to strengthen the country, you should pay attention to education, and pay attention to education to start from the baby, Su Yan is ready to build public schools in the state capitals of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, and build a comprehensive university in Nanjing City that can be built after the system is upgraded.

Considering that most people are more willing to let them stay at home as laborers than send their children to school, Su Yan is also planning to add a canteen in the school so that students can eat for free and reduce the cost of students going to school as much as possible - so that the people will be willing to send their children to the school.

Education has never been a profitable industry, and it is foreseeable that if you want to complete the initial implementation of education in the three provinces, Su Yan's more than 8 million taels that she has just received will soon be spent......

However, Su Yan was not worried about financial problems, because in addition to the raid of the gentry clan, a lot of money and grain were also seized from the houses where the banner people lived in the process of demolishing the city.

The banner people and nobles like to enclose the land to grab things, the eight banners from the south to the north, burning and looting all the way, and hiding a lot of looted things at home, in the looting after the slaughter, Su Yan also harvested an income of more than eight million taels.

The total of more than 16 million taels of silver taels is enough for Su Yan to make a big show in his small kingdom.

Before that, Su Yan had to determine the scope of the university in Nanjing, and

Build through the system.

The cost of building a university is far cheaper than the actual cost of hiring people to build it yourself, and the university unlocked after upgrading can accommodate at least 7,000 students after completion, and has buildings including teaching buildings, laboratories, libraries, canteens, student dormitories, auditoriums and squares, etc., which only costs 150,000 taels of silver and can be completed in one year.

Such a cheap cost naturally brought restrictions, at present, Su Yan only has the authority to build a university, after some consideration, he decided to build a university on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, north of the Three Law Division, and named it Yingtian University.

Su Yan's idea is to wait for the establishment of Yingtian University, the imperial court officials will give priority to those who have graduated from college, and gradually eliminate those who can only get eight strands of literature, and the scholars will all seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

……

"Master Overseer, what is your important task in summoning the grass people?"

Nanjing Governor's Mansion (formerly the Liangjiang Governor's Department), Qian Qianyi sat on the chair given to him by Su Yan with some trepidation, looked at Su Yan who was sitting behind the desk and asked cautiously.

Remembering that he was once a second-grade official of the imperial court, he was majestic, but now that the Ming army has returned, he has to be humble and humble in front of Su Yan like a grass Kan, Qian Qianyi's heart once again swelled with thick feelings of shame and sadness.

Su Yan didn't pay attention to Qian Qianyi's emotions, he put down the brush in his hand with the construction plan of the school, and said indifferently: "This governor summoned you here in the hope that you can do something for this governor, oh no, for Daming."

"Overseer, please speak." Qian Qianyi cleaned up the bitterness in his heart and said.

"Now that Jiangnan has been decided, there is a serious shortage of personnel in the yamen in various places, and the governor wants to open a college examination to recruit talents from the people to fill the vacancies of officials in various places, and I am afraid that the scholars in various places will not dare to participate because of the reckoning with the enemy and traitors in recent days, so I hope that Mr. Mu Zhai can come forward to call for it."

Since he wanted to find someone to help him do things, Su Yan didn't hesitate to give a respectful title of Mr. Mu Zhai in the back, but who knows, after hearing him call Mr. Mu Zhai, Qian Qianyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and in Su Yan's somewhat stunned gaze, Qian Qianyi stood up from the chair and said:

"The superintendent is trusted, and the grass people naturally dare not refuse, and when the grass people go back, they call on the Jiangnan scholars to serve the country!"

For Qian Qianyi's enthusiasm, Su Yan was stunned at first, and then quickly relieved, Qian Qianyi since the Qing Dynasty, the rest of his life was plagued by the regret of the Qing Dynasty, after the Ming army recovered the southern capital, his remorse was even stronger, and he often drank at home.

And now, Su Yan hopes that he will use his influence to call on scholars to participate in the scientific expedition, in his opinion, this is equivalent to a signal - the court needs you!

If he can do this well, maybe he can take this opportunity to wash away the stigma of the previous reduction.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi didn't think about it, so he accepted it.

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, Su Yan adhered to the principle of more work for those who can do more, coughed lightly, and said, "In addition to this matter, there is another thing in this governor, I don't know if Mr. Mu Zhai is interested."

"Overseer, please speak." This time, Qian Qianyi's heart did not have the bitterness just now.

"The Governor has decided to build schools in the prefectures and counties of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, so that school-age children can enter the halls for free, and build a university on the shore of Xuanwu Lake. Su Yan said.

"Building schools and universities?" Qian Qianyi was slightly stunned, he pondered his words, and asked tentatively, "Dare to ask the superintendent, can you still understand the construction of this school, what is this university?"

"Universities can also be understood as Chinese Studies, Taixue, and Guozijian, and the educational content includes mathematics, chemistry, literature, politics, music, art, and other subjects." In order to prevent Qian Qianyi from not understanding, Su Yan took a lot of time to introduce these disciplines, and after finishing speaking, Qian Qianyi was a little confused.

After digesting it for a while, Qian Qianyi nodded, he grabbed the key words in Su Yan's words just now, and said, "The inspector just said that he would build schools in various state capitals and counties, so that the people can study for free, counting the cost of building a large number of buildings, right

It will be a huge expense for the imperial court, and now that the Tartars have not yet settled, they will spend all their silver taels on education, which is inevitably a bit of a reversal of the cart."

"Definitely." Su Yan shook his head and said, "Education is the foundation of the country, if you want the country to be strong, you must pay attention to education, why put the cart before the horse?"

Seeing Su Yan's answer, Qian Qianyi was not bored, and continued to persuade him, he arched his hand and said, "Since the overseer trusts the grass people so much, the grass people are willing to serve the overseer."

……

The trial of a group of bad country gentry soon came as scheduled.

On the 10th day of June, Zhang Huangyan, the temporary governor of Jiangning, personally held a trial in front of the Jiangning Mansion, and under the onlookers of the people of Jiangning, groups of village gentry were sentenced to death for the crime of betraying the country and other crimes.

If they were not allowed to live one more day, every time a person was sentenced to death, soldiers would drag them away, take them to the execution ground and be executed with bayonets, and the heads of the families were basically sentenced to death, and the rest of the family members were sentenced to hard labor - they would use their physical strength and sweat to atone for their sins together with the bannermen who survived the massacre of the city.

After seeing these high-ranking old men sentenced, the surrounding onlookers cheered loudly, many of them were ordinary people who were bullied on weekdays, and there were also peasants whose fields were targeted to buy and sell, and their hatred for these gentry was far greater than their hatred for the Qing army.

Now, they watched these enemies who did not share the sky being executed, and the hatred in their hearts was vented, and their support for Su Yan reached a higher level.

What Su Yan wants is this effect, he wants to kill the gentry clan to the point of blood, killing people's heads, in exchange for the support of the people.

After the trial of the arrested gentry, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions were suddenly vacated, and the only ones who remained were frightened.

For what they took the initiative to give, Su Yan naturally did not refuse all of them, and all of them laughed.

Raiding the home, the Ming army also copied out a lot of land deeds from the family of the gentry, many of which were the product of forced buying and selling, Su Yan returned these improper lands to the bitter master, and the remaining fields were openly sold to the people who did not have fields in their names.

In order to alleviate the burden on the common people and make it affordable for more people, Su Yan instructed the local government to provide loans to people who were interested in buying land, with very low interest rates and installment repayment.

Out of trust in Su Yan, the people applied for loans from the government to buy fields, and in less than seven days, the ownerless fields in various places were bought by the people, and many of them also used the remaining loans to buy the same ploughing cattle and farm tools that were copied from their homes.

Then, all parts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian began to vigorously farm, walking on the country road, everywhere you can see farmers with a vision for the future humming a little song of their hometown, using various farm tools to farm in the field.

It is worth mentioning that after the automatic seeding mechanism rewarded by the system was made, Su Yan did not promote it - this so-called automatic seeding machine is too cheating, its scientific name is called the seed seeder, and it is a one-legged cocoon that has been eliminated for thousands of years in China, and now farmers are using a three-legged cocoon that is more advanced than it.

The one-legged cocoon first appeared in the Warring States Period, which was indeed conducive to agricultural cultivation, but the efficiency was not high, so in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Guo, the commander of Sosu, invented and made a three-legged cocoon on the basis of the previous one-legged cocoon car.

The efficiency of the three-legged cocoon is significantly higher than that of its predecessor, and it has been passed down to the present day, in fact, even in modern times, there are still some remote mountain villages that use the three-legged cocoon.

It can be seen that as a farming nation that has been inherited for thousands of years, the agricultural science and technology of the Chinese are far behind the Europeans several streets, and even in the 16th and 17th centuries, the agricultural science and technology level of Westerners has just reached the level of the East thousands of years ago.

The main reason why Westerners were able to catch up with the East in terms of science and technology and become major grain exporters in modern times was the Industrial Revolution

The technological innovation obtained later, which shows the importance of science and technology, Su Yan is to carry out the industrial revolution in advance, continue to make the scientific and technological level of the East lead the world, and avoid the humiliation of future generations.

In addition to the automatic seeding machine that pulled the crotch, Su Yan checked the industrial technology tree of the system again, and he found with some tears and laughter that agricultural technology seemed to be something he couldn't use, and there were basically similar or even more advanced substitutes in the East, only the metal industry and the textile industry could make him look at it.

It can only be said that he wasted two reward places in vain, and it made him excited in vain.
