Nine hundred and eighty-two Chieftain Raiders (Part 2)
With the deepening and expansion of land reform in the three southeastern provinces, Jiangxi and Huguang have also begun to be affected.
The land reform working group became more and more brave and the more skilled the methods used, and with the cooperation of the army, they were always unfavorable. The gentry was awarded the title one after another, but they were no match for several rounds. People continued to form peasant associations to seize land and worship their loyalty to the central government, and broke away from the rule of local gentry.
They finally realized the vast ocean of people's war and realized the power of the people that they had never understood.
Similarly, the readers of the Land Reform Working Group have also allowed the readers to refresh their views over and over again, cleanse their souls, and then devote themselves to the next round of work with an extremely full spirit, and continue this great change that has not been seen in a thousand years.
The gentry autonomy in the most prosperous and prosperous areas in Jiangnan was no longer there, and the central government completely replaced the gentry and became the real master of the three southeastern provinces.
Half a month after Xiao Ruxun became emperor, the first round of land reform in Yangzhou Prefecture ended, announcing the end of the first round of land reform in the three southeastern provinces. Then Xie He organized a working group to gradually go westward and began to march towards Huguang and Jiangxi.
The three southeastern provinces began spring plowing work, and the people received the first benefit of the founding of the Qin Dynasty.
Although the whip law was continued, the tax collection of Daqin was reduced by 30% compared with the tax collection of Daming in previous years. In order to avoid some of the disadvantages exposed before, Xiao Ruxun stipulated that the tax was organized by the farmers' association, and the tax was collected uniformly under the leadership of the township chief who was transferred to the land reform official. The government stipulated the price of grain and was not allowed to be manipulated by grain merchants.
More importantly, Xiao Ruxun ordered the abolition of the collection of fire-consuming silver, and only tax-consuming silver was levied at a fixed amount, and no more fire-consuming silver was collected. He asked Hei Shui to supervise it on his behalf.
Whoever dares to make trouble, deceive his superiors and subordinates, tamper with his intentions, and behead him on the spot without any mercy.
Stimulated by such favorable policies, the situation in the three southeastern provinces quickly stabilized, and the people quickly devoted themselves to the spring plowing work with great enthusiasm. The land reform came to an end, and everyone turned their energy to grain production, and everything began to return to daily life.
However, the land reform work in the three southeastern provinces has come to an end, which does not mean that the work in other places has come to an end. To be precise, the work in other places has just begun.
To this end, Xie He came to the capital to ask Emperor Xiao Ruxun for key points in the next stage of work, and then, by the way, wanted to reminisce about the old relationship and get a better position.
Although he now holds the power of life and death for many people, he does not have a formal position. At this critical point at the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, he wanted to get something that would make him feel at ease.
Although Xiao Ruxun gave him enough houses and land, it was always a bit uncomfortable without an official position.
After all, the land reform officials under his command who had excellent work achievements were transferred to township leaders and even county magistrates, and they had already set up government agencies in the three southeastern provinces. Now he is the only one who has no official position left, which makes him feel a little embarrassed.
He wanted to try whether he could get a central official.
After all, he is a person who has political achievements and skills to lead many people.
So when Xiao Ruxun recalled Xiao Ruzhi and Chen Lin back to Beijing to report his duties, he also followed.
What made him feel very relieved was that Xiao Ruxun attached great importance to him and personally met him alone and asked him about the progress of land reform.
"The land reform in the three southeastern provinces has basically ended. According to His Majesty's request, the gentry's houses that survived by chance were strictly monitored. Those officials in the court will organize and send them to the capital to settle down. Those officials in the court will not wait for His Majesty's arrangements."
Xie He reported this.
"Well, you're doing it well. There are people like this that need to be monitored. You must not stay in the place. You must send them to the capital together. The abolished magistrate system of the ancient Han Dynasty is a good system, a system that specifically suppresses the powerful. I want to keep the biggest threat by my side and control it nearby, so that they can't let them hurt the people."
Xie He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's kindness is a lesson for heaven and earth. The people of the Qin Dynasty are very lucky! After Your Majesty's imperial edict to reduce taxes by 30% and abolish fire and silver consumption was passed to the three southeastern provinces, the people of the three southeastern provinces shouted long live our emperor, which shows how much the people support Your Majesty and our Qin Dynasty."
Xiao Ruxun smiled.
"This is something that an emperor should do, and it is not worth talking about. Tell me about Huguang and Jiangxi."
"yes."
Xie He said, "Huguang and Jiangxi are also places where gentry power is relatively strong, but compared with the fierce resistance of the three southeastern provinces, Huguang and Jiangxi have much less resistance. The westward direction, the more there are many villages without gentry, but there are powerful village tyrants who are rampant in the countryside, with no king's laws, and evading taxes, which is very hateful!"
"This kind of person cannot be kept, and he is not allowed to even place a land. He wants to search his house. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
Xie He continued: "The problems of Huguang and Jiangxi are quite similar to those of the three southeastern provinces, and are not a big problem. It is just that we are moving westward. Guizhou and Sichuan, as well as Guangdong and Guangxi and Yunnan in the south, there are a large number of chieftains. How should we deal with it?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I have my own way. I have sent a large number of Blackwater agents to Guizhou and Yunnan to infiltrate the local dialect and learn the local dialect. You also select a group of people. I will ask Zhang Wu to connect with you and arrange these people to learn local dialect and understand the local customs and customs. After the solution to Huguang and Jiangxi, we will start to solve the chieftains in Guizhou and Yunnan."
After hearing Xiao Ruxun's words, Xie He said in surprise: "Does Your Majesty want to do it within the territory of the chieftain..."
"right."
Xiao Ruxun nodded: "The chieftain is also the territory of the Qin Dynasty. As long as it is the territory of the Qin Dynasty, I will never allow any force that does not belong to the central government. The chieftain must be uprooted. The method is the same as the method I taught you. There are also poor people in the chieftain, and there will only be more, not less."
"But the toasts are all aliens. If we do this, they will be very disgusted. We will be in great danger and may not be trusted."
Xiao Ruxun walked to Xie He and whispered: "Qingquan, all the poor people in the world are the same, whether they are the native or the foreign race, they are the same. Grab the part they care about most, stir up their anger, and incite their riots.
Joining forces with them and letting them kill their own king is just like letting our people kill the gentry and powerful. They can also use it for me, and then implement the kingly education and change the land and return to the current. It doesn’t take much time. Guizhou and Yunnan are really Guizhou and Yunnan of the Qin Dynasty.”
Xie He took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand. I know what Your Majesty means. I will do my best."
"Don't let me down, Qingquan."
Xiao Ruxun said again: "If you can do this well, we can use this method to deal with Guangdong and Guangxi, Sichuan, Beilu and Jurchens in the future. Many things need to be deterred by the army, but the army does not have to take action on their own. Do you understand?"
Xie He was deeply shocked.
Does Your Majesty still need to carry out land reforms on the Northern Territory?
But didn’t Beilu graze?
Can they also reform land?
