Chapter 79 Brother Tian, Governor Ji, come quickly! (Twelfth update)
"Not to mention fellow countrymen and fellow countrymen, I have almost forgotten... When you were in Yong'an, you said you were going to draft a "Chinese Land Acre System", why haven't you come up with it yet?"
Hong Xiuquan, the "King of Hands-off", was so happy. Apart from playing with the thirty-six queens every day, he would revise the Bible and the Old Testament "quietly" from Luo Xiaoquan. As for other things, Regarding the affairs, military affairs were left to Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui, government affairs were left to Feng Yunshan and Wei Changhui, and Shi Dakai was left as a substitute to run errands.
As for the "Celestial Land Acquisition System", which involves the fundamental system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, of course it is left to Feng Yunshan to think about... Anyway, no one else can figure out such a complicated issue.
Historically, there was no "future" for Feng Yunshan. Several other senior officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom found a copy of the "Chinese Land Acre System" from Feng Yunshan's manuscripts, and then started it haphazardly. It was not until Hong Ren arrived later that the "Celestial Land Acre System" was created. The next version of "New Chapter of Zizheng".
However, because the foundation of the "Chinese Land Acquisition System" was not "established" or laid properly, Hong Rengan's "New Chapter of Zizheng" could not be "practiced"...
But now, Feng Yunshan is still alive, and Luo Yaoguo, who has practiced "Tiandao", gives him ideas and directions, and the "Chinese Land Acre System" he came up with is of course different. And this new version of "Chinese Land Acre System" The draft is now carried by Feng Yunshan with him, preparing to find an opportunity to show it to Hong Xiuquan.
Now after listening to Luo Yaoguo's words, although he felt that it was inappropriate to let Xiao Chaogui take charge of the land allocation, he still took out a thread-bound booklet and handed it to Hong Xiuquan who was kneeling with both hands. Hong Xiuquan picked up the booklet handed by Feng Yunshan , it starts to look good after opening it.
The core of this version of "Chinese Land Acquisition System" is four points.
The first is to divide the land and distribute the wealth - in principle, ordinary farmers will get less, and Taiping soldiers will get more. However, what is allocated is not the ownership of the land, but the right to use it. Therefore, buying and selling of the allocated land is prohibited! If you cannot or If you don’t want to farm, you can sublet it to others.
In addition, the frivolous wealth of local tyrants and evil gentry loyal to the Qing Dynasty will also be confiscated and distributed. In principle, the accounts will be divided into 30 and 70, with the peasants getting 3 and the Taiping Army getting 7.
And 70% of what the Taiping Army got must be distributed, and not all should be put into the holy treasury. As for how to divide it, Feng Yunshan did not explain it clearly in the "Celestial Land Acre System". The second is to establish the rural governance system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom - this is the Dividing farmland and dividing wealth is as important a matter as it is!
It can even be said that dividing the land, dividing the land, and establishing the grassroots governance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are one and the same thing.
Without the distribution of land and wealth, the local tyrants and evil gentry at the grassroots level cannot be eliminated, and the poor peasants cannot be mobilized, so there is no possibility of establishing the grassroots of the Kingdom of Heaven. Without the grassroots of the Kingdom of Heaven, the division of land, land and wealth cannot be implemented smoothly, even if Even if it is implemented reluctantly, the interests of farmers cannot be protected for a long time. The remnants of the local tyrants and evil gentry will come back sooner or later!
The first step in establishing the grassroots level is to establish a level-by-level management structure such as the provincial branch, prefecture branch, county branch, and town branch of the God Worship Association.
The second step is to take the God-worshipping associations at all levels as the core and rely on the support of the Taiping Army to attack the local tyrants and evil gentry who control the land and population but are unwilling to worship God, thereby replacing them in controlling the local area.
The third step is to rely on branch churches and wards of the God Worshipers Association to form peasant associations in counties and towns, use the peasant associations to absorb "tyrannical figures" among poor farmers, and then rely on them to expand the Taiping Army and promote land distribution.
The fourth step is to transform the grassroots branch churches of the God Worship Association and the county and town peasant associations under the leadership of branches into grassroots organizations that can manage production, education, taxation, public security, disaster relief, and military service.
Small Yamen.
The third is the urban management of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom - this is also a major matter that must be handled well!
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history not only failed to manage the countryside well, but also failed to govern the cities. Otherwise, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could have effectively controlled the surrounding villages with the city as the center. As for Luo Yaoguo, oh, it should be Feng Yunshan in the new version of "Celestial Land Acre System"
Proposed urban governance methods.
Unlike attacking the wealthy gentry and supporting small farmers in the countryside, the urban policy proposed in the "Celestial Land Acquisition System" is to win over wealthy businessmen.
To this end, it is necessary to establish provincial branches of the God Worship Association, chambers of commerce led by prefecture branch committees, absorb the leaders of the Tiandi Association, and the Hong Kong Gang into chambers of commerce at all levels, and rely on the chamber of commerce to formulate policies to protect industry and commerce and promote urban development, as well as levy reasonable
Industrial and commercial taxes.
However, the Chamber of Commerce in the new version of "Tian Chao Tian Yu System" will not become a government office, but will become a consulting agency that assists the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's county offices, government offices, and provincial governments in their work.
But before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's provincial, prefecture, and county yamen could be truly established and learn to control city affairs, the Chamber of Commerce could also temporarily manage them for a while.
The fourth is literacy education.
This is also a big deal!
Historically, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did run many chapels in their ruling areas, especially in the central areas, that recited the crooked scriptures that Hong Xiuquan had reformed. However, they did not run primary schools, middle schools, high schools, or universities, nor did they run literacy classes to help Yang Xiuqing.
In this way, the illiterate Taiping soldiers, who did not know many words, became illiterate.
Luo Yaoguo attaches great importance to education!
He firmly doesn't believe that studying is useless. If he doesn't study hard, he won't be able to go to college, and he won't be able to learn history, so... he won't be able to deliver food. If he doesn't deliver food, he won't be able to travel to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
, became the chief lecturer of Taiping Angels and God Worshipers Association, which are professional counterparts.
Therefore, under his suggestion, literacy in running schools has become a key point in the "Chinese Land Acquisition System"! Not only the Taiping Army must be literate, but also the cities and villages under the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's rule!
While literacy is being eradicated, schools must also be run! The Taiping Army also runs military schools with battalions, while local governments run primary schools, middle schools, and universities. Of course, primary schools, middle schools, and universities will be delayed for a while. The top priority is literacy and military schools with battalions.
, Principal Luo must take up the post as soon as possible!
"Brother, how come this "Chinese Land Acquisition System" is so different from what you said before?"
Hong Xiuquan has finished reading the new version of "The Land Acquisition System of the Celestial Empire".... He is not very satisfied!
Hong Xiuquan frowned and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't return anything to the Lord. How can you build a church, ban idols, and worship God without any content?"
"This...land-acreage system," Feng Yunshan hesitated, "Of course it should focus on people's livelihood and local governance..."
Yang Xiuqing on the side seized the opportunity and immediately asked: "Yunshan, how many Confucian temples, Guan temples, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and ancestral halls have you and Yaoguo destroyed in Daozhou?
Feng Yunshan couldn't answer.
Hong Xiuquan, a gangster who opposed idol worship, smashed Confucian temples, Guan temples, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and ancestral halls everywhere, causing hatred. Earlier, Feng Yunshan was arrested by local officials in Guangxi for this matter, and Hong Xiuquan ran away and returned to Guangdong to "lay down." "Ping", the believers of the God Worshipers in Zijing Mountain were leaderless. Yang Xiuqing and Jian Chaogui took this opportunity to jump to the throne.
Although this line of destroying temples and inciting hatred did not help the cause of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, if Hong Xiuquan developed this disease, no one else could do anything about it. Who calls him the King of Heaven? Moreover, his "religious theory" is extremely high, he will change it "Bible"!
But others don't know how to do it - Feng Yunshan doesn't know God and Jesus, and he doesn't dare to change.
Those who dare, but they can’t—Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui don’t know much about literacy. They are all in need of literacy classes and cannot change the Bible!
Therefore, the religious line of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which promoted hatred, continued until it was destroyed.
But Luo Yaoguo was not used to Hong Xiuquan, and later generations of Roman Popes would not dare to let others do the job of smashing idols... How many teachers did the Pope have?
So when he saw that Feng Yunshan couldn't answer, he might as well do it himself, and said with a serious face: "King of Heaven, my brother asked me not to destroy Confucian temples, Guan temples, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, ancestral halls..."
"What?" Hong Xiuquan immediately became angry, "How dare you...Don't you know that Heavenly Father hates people worshiping idols the most?"
Yang Xiuqing saw that the opportunity had come. He and Hong Xiuquan were now partners!
Then "The Wrath of God" came immediately and ordered in a very solemn voice: "Here comes someone! Take off the pants of the angel Luo Yaoguo... and give him a hundred sticks!"
Several guards guarding outside the lobby rushed in immediately upon hearing "God's call" and rushed towards Luo Yaoguo together.
Chapter completed!
