Chapter 1331 Southwest Land Reform
If you are hungry, you will have food to eat, if you are cold, you will have clothes to wear, if you are sick, you will be healed, and if you are illiterate, you will be taught.

Perhaps Xiao Ruxun can only achieve this with all his life's efforts, and he will not see more improvements until he dies, but he still believes that the hope for the future is buried in these seemingly insignificant "small" improvements among.

As the emperor of Daqin, he felt that he had accomplished many things, and even wanted to do too many things. As a result, his courtiers had serious hair loss problems. The biggest trouble for Daqin officials was not political struggles, but hair loss.

But for all of this, he is happy to see the results. He can see with his own eyes that his country is changing, is gradually deviating from the original established track, and is heading towards an unknown future.

The inertia of history is still heavy, and it is difficult for one person to shake it, but if thousands of people change together, they will definitely be able to change the established historical track, push themselves into another unknown track, and continue to move forward.

Xiao Ruxun didn't know what kind of brand new future he could bring to Daqin by doing so, but this did not prevent him from continuing to do it.

He decided not to think about the future, or about doctrine and democratic dictatorship. Now he just wants to do what he wants to do, to consolidate his power, to expand China's territory, to promote the advent of great voyages, and to improve the lives of ordinary people. , to build Daqin into a better place.

That's it.

As for the future, it is not what he can predict.

The second year of Longwu passed like this. In this year, Daqin completed the conquest of Liaodong, completed the battle against Yang Yinglong's rebel army, and wiped out the disobedient Wa country.

The three founding campaigns of Daqin consolidated the status of the Xiaoqin regime, and established Daqin's national legal rule in a true sense.

Xiao Ruxun established his own imperial court on the basis of the great purge in the first year of Longwu, established the emperor's unquestionable right to decide and appoint personnel changes, determined the operating mechanism of the cabinet, and ensured that the emperor himself had great control over the cabinet and the country. absolute leadership of affairs.

On the basis of the first year of Longwu, it also strengthened the construction of rural political power, more clearly established the construction of the Daqin government at the grassroots level, established the system of township heads and village farmers' association presidents, and ensured that central government orders can be directly issued to every Every village in the township is not subject to any restrictions.

In addition, the method for the reorganization of the Qin army was also determined, and for this purpose, military personnel changes were carried out, the army was dismantled and reorganized for the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the right to appoint officers was completely brought back to the central government, and an internship system for military school students was established. Military school graduates enter the military for a one-year internship.

More importantly, Xiao Ruxun determined the basic national policy of the Great Qin Dynasty for the development of foreign exchanges and foreign development at the Dachao Conference, determined the scale and regularization of the sea, re-determined the amount and rules of various commercial taxes, and formulated the Merchant Law. , to impose cruel punishments on those who do not follow the rules to evade taxes.

As a result, Daqin determined the concept of foreign expansion. The central government, which has benefited a lot from the development of Burma and Luzon, has initially tasted the sweetness of expanding territory and colonizing overseas. In addition, the Royal Merchant Ship organized by Xiao Ruxun Taking the leading role of the brigade, it became a trend for a large number of private merchant ships to sail to the West from Southeast Asia.

Of course, the most meaningful thing is the management of locust plagues and insect disasters. Xu Guangqi and Fang Congzhe were respectively assigned to manage and control the two major disasters, and initial results have been obtained.

Then, at the end of the second year of Longwu, the famous doctors in the newly established medical department jointly dedicated the book to Xiao Ruxun. After reading it carefully, Xiao Ruxun named the book "Handbook for Rural Traveling Doctors", hoping that every rural doctor can have a copy , traveled the world, and healed the world.

After that, Xiao Ruxun published a large number of this manual and distributed it to every township, so that the literate people in the township could learn together, and then recruited a group of literate people in the capital to study intensively. Go to Jiangnan to assist Fang Congzhe.

The second year of Longwu ended under such an extremely busy background, and the third year of Longwu came.

The New Year in the third year of Longwu was still in accordance with the practice of the second year of Longwu. The emperor held a banquet in the palace, entertained officials and immediate family members for dinner, and distributed red envelopes and benefits according to the size of their merits, so that they could have a happy new year. .

The Chinese New Year is very important to the Chinese, especially for the emperor and officials. Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the new year is just like that.

In the third year of Longwu, on the basis of the second year of Longwu, there was also a tea party organized by the emperor himself. It was the morning before going to work after the New Year holiday, and the emperor invited dozens of court officials to drink tea, eat snacks and talk together.

Generally speaking, from the third year of Longwu, officials generally believed that the courtiers who were invited by the emperor to the tea party on this day were the emperor's confidant ministers, those who were valued and trusted by the emperor, and those who had performed very well last year. Special rewards for officials.

Throughout the third year of Longwu, Daqin continued to advance rapidly at the pace of the second year of Longwu. Various policies began to be fully rolled out and implemented on a large scale. The township government and the village farmers' association are still under construction.

In May of the third year of Longwu, after a long period of preparation, the land reform movement in the four southwestern provinces began.

In Sichuan, Yunnan, Jiangxi, and Guizhou, the preliminary preparations for the land reform movement officially began. The central government ordered that the black water spies that had fully infiltrated the four southwestern provinces begin to operate.

Sudden actions one after another have caused strong mutual distrust and fierce disputes among chieftains in various places. The conflicts caused by the deliberately uneven distribution of benefits by the central government were formally brought to light by this background. Detonate.

Some chieftains were full of food, while some chieftains did not receive corresponding benefits. The big chieftains were deliberately cared for, while the small and medium chieftains continued to be suppressed and attacked.

The conflict between the rich chieftains such as the An family and the Song family and a large number of small and medium-sized chieftains below was completely detonated.

However, the local governments follow the established strategy, adopt the strategy of listening to them and believing them deliberately to lead conflicts, and continue to make matters worse, which eventually leads to irreconcilable conflicts between the An family and the Song family.

The chieftain group headed by An, the chieftain group headed by Song, and a group of small and medium-sized chieftain alliances formed three forces, which together triggered military conflicts.

Xiao Ruxun's long-awaited situation finally arrived.
