Chapter 391 The Thriving Myanmar Town

The due diligence of officials made the lives of millions of Han people orderly. Handicraft workers worked in several key construction cities in the business district, working in government-run workshops or private workshops, and their daily wages were guaranteed.

As for the farmers, they just do their old job, honestly cultivate the land in the agricultural area, harvest grain, and open [-]% with the Zhennan Houfu. What should I do if I can't eat it?Let these grains rot?
No, no, of course not, they also have two choices, one is to sell to the Zhennanhou Mansion, which will do grain storage and grain export business, and the other is to organize themselves to do business in the vegetable market in the city in the southern business district. Business, doing retail business to earn extra money, etc. As for doing business with Westerners, Xiao Ruxun did not open it to the Burmese people. All the products of Burma Town are officially responsible for foreign trade.

Xiao Ruxun, a businessman from other places, can't control them, but among the population of more than 100 million in Burma Town, there are really no big merchants. The big merchants live well in various places. Why do you come to a poor and white place like your Burma Town?Xiao Ruxun also didn't propose any policies for attracting investment, because Myanmar doesn't need it at all. One, Xiao Ruxun himself has money, and the other has only such a small population that there is no need for the participation of large merchants.

There are not many commodities in Burma Town itself. Tea, silk and simple porcelain are the mainstream. These three items are exclusive to the Hou Mansion, and the folks do not have them. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun arranged officials to be in charge of contacting Westerners, and the food business was even more exclusive to the Hou Mansion. No one is allowed to intervene, and the remaining non-mainstream handicraft products are not very attractive to Westerners, and it is difficult to form a major export scale and become an industry.

With the current population of more than 100 million, such divisional planning is already very appropriate and sufficient to cope with the current situation. As for the other things, it will be a matter after the population increases, and there is no need to consider it at present. As for the local construction and Xiao Ruxun did not ask the Han people to undertake the development task, and it was good that the Han people were mainly responsible for production. For the construction and development tasks, Xiao Ruxun directly asked the tribes of the aborigines to handle them.

They have more than enough to live by themselves, and there are usually some surplus laborers who have no work to do. Xiao Ruxun also has the idea of ​​​​limiting their development, so he paid wages and hired some young and strong laborers from the tribe to build river embankments, open up wasteland and build villages and houses. There are building walls to dredge rivers, etc. These infrastructure tasks are all done by the army to monitor these tribal laborers.

As for the army, that was the project that Xiao Ruxun focused on. After all, the Ming court only kept the 3 firearms battalion in Ningxia, and the rest of the army was recalled. Xiao Ruxun used the [-] army to manage the growing population. It is unrealistic, so according to the regulations of the court, he has a suitable order to recruit an army of less than [-] people, so naturally he must recruit completely.

There are many places that need to use the army, and some construction tasks can even be postponed, and the establishment of the army can be completed first. Many emergencies require the army to maintain and resolve. In the earliest times, when many immigration conflicts occurred, Xiao Ruxun regarded the army as a The police are in use, and when the population is sufficient and the labor force of young and middle-aged people is sufficient, Xiao Ruxun recruits [-] young and middle-aged people into the army.

Here Xiao Ruxun played a word game, you said 2, but didn't say whether it included the [-] firearms battalion, so it is appropriate for me to recruit [-] excluding the firearms battalion, of course, explain to the Ming court It is still based on [-] yuan, and the military salary issued by the governor of Yunnan is also based on [-] yuan. Naturally, it is a common practice to deduct military salary. Seventy percent, equivalent to the military pay of more than [-] people.

The rest has to be paid by Xiao Ruxun himself, but it doesn't matter, the entire Myanmar's foreign business is under Xiao Ruxun's control, and the monthly financial income is quite rich, and there is no shortage of this money. The main reason is that Xiao Ruxun just wants to It is enough to separate the army from the group of troops responsible for public security management, so that the army will carry out its tasks, and the security of the towns will be handed over to these "policemen".

So in this time and space, Xiao Ruxun took the lead in proposing the concept of police, which means "vigilance inspector", and separated the police force from the combat force. Out of the 3 newly recruited, 5000 people were assigned to become policemen, scattered Among the eight cities under Xiao Ruxun's initial construction control, let Chen Xie withdraw from the army and serve as the first "police admiral".

Since then, in Burma Town, the police and the army have been separated, and all civil disputes are handed over to the police force. Any robbery incidents, fraud incidents, etc. in the city are managed by the police, and the army has completely withdrawn from the city. , to be stationed in various military camps. For this reason, Chen Xie also specially recruited Daming Law to strengthen the assault tutoring. It can be seen that he will be a good police admiral.

Xiao Ruxun naturally had his own arrangements for the [-] troops. Except for the [-] Firearms Battalion, which was responsible for guarding the northern mountainous area for a long time, the rest of the ministries took turns guarding various places, such as the troops stationed around the cities, the navy troops stationed by the sea, The security and surveillance troops stationed around the aboriginal inhabited area, etc., after such a calculation, Xiao Ruxun still felt that the troops in his hand were not enough, and wanted to expand the number, but he was afraid of interfering with production.

Xiao Ruxun does not intend to use the guard system, all the soldiers are recruited, nominally guard soldiers, organized in the Burmese military town, but the so-called military households, Xiao Ruxun doesn't care at all, they don't need generations Be a soldier from generation to generation, and future generations can do whatever they want. Lao Zhu’s military system is a profound root cause of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Ruxun will not repeat Lao Zhu’s mistakes. Among other things, the military system must be abolished in Burma .

Yuan Huang is very supportive of this point, and he even pointed out very sharply that the root cause of the civil fortress change lies in the weakening of military aristocratic power. Seize military control and marginalize the military aristocracy.

Because the military talents produced under the hereditary system cannot compete with the elite civilian officials selected after the tragic struggle of millions of people, and the quality of the two cannot be compared at all.

Even Yuan Huang was very forward-looking and proposed the idea of ​​setting up military schools to train military talents, and selecting officers through the examination system just like civilian officials.

Let military officers and civilian officials need to be elected through the method of examination. The talent pool of the two is exactly the same, and there is no distinction between high and low.

This is simply quite advanced military thinking.
