Chapter 887 Get the news
In the south of the Yangtze River, Gan went to the capital.
Time flies, February of the third year of Longwu.
Gao Huan just finished the spring plowing ceremony and devoted himself to state affairs.
Such a huge empire has too large territory, and all kinds of things happen every day, and there are too many transactions to be handled.
If Gao Huan needs to deal with so many state affairs, then Gao Huan will not be able to handle even if he has three heads and six arms.
Gao Huan is not a fierce man like Zhu Yuanzhang. For those general government affairs, Gao Huan directly handed over to the Councillor, but he only grasped the general direction and some things he thought were worth paying attention to.
The first thing about this is naturally the collective farm in Hedong, and then the communication between the Qing Dynasty and the Netherlands was paid attention to.
Whether the collective farm in Hedong can be successful is related to whether Gao Huan's land policy can be implemented smoothly, and it also determines the nature of the government.
In the end, the Gan Dynasty would become a feudal dynasty that protects the interests of gentry and landlords, just like the dynasties of all dynasties.
It is still a great civilization that protects the interests of the people and leads all mankind toward light. It is not a cannibalistic civilization. It depends on whether the land policy can succeed.
As a veteran, Gao Huan knew that those landlords who relied on collecting rent had no meaning in promoting the development of mankind and the country. They were only good at monopolizing land and exploitation, which aggravated social conflicts and the gap between the rich and the poor.
Gentlemen and landlords hoarded land without any technical content. After relying on power and money, they would not invest money in other fields, but prefer to do things like rent collection without any technical content and risks.
It is so comfortable to collect rent, there is no risk, and there is no competition. They will not invest money in innovation to create more wealth for society, but will absorb the blood of the people and society.
Gao Huan felt that a gentry and rich man who only knows how to collect rents, and a person who only knows how to exploit common people from generation to generation are not worthy of respect, such as Li Chaoren, and those who lend online and collect rents in disguise.
Gao Huan wanted to change the land system, so he forced the gentry and merchants who did not have the opportunity to collect rent, so they could only invest their money in innovations with higher risks and trade in overseas markets.
A rich man who has a lot of money in his hands will tend to buy land or houses to collect rents, pursue low risk but stable returns, or choose to study new technologies, explore external markets, and compete with Western barbarians. Gao Huan thinks that many people will choose the former.
If they choose the former, after collecting rent and accumulating wealth, they will inevitably tend to occupy more land and means of production. Continue to collect more rent, which will cause various social problems such as land annexation and the gap between the rich and the poor.
Gao Huan has been paying attention to Hedong. After Sun Kewang became the governor of Hedong, he began to promote collective farms in Taiyuan. Various economic crops have been planted, and no problems have occurred yet.
Now, as long as the farm is profitable by the end of the year, and the military can pay enough dividends, it can change the military households' views on collective farms and eliminate their resentment towards Gao Huan.
This is conducive to the implementation of public ownership of land.
The reason why Gao Huan was about to attack the Tang Dynasty was set after the autumn harvest. In addition to the winter coming after the autumn harvest, the army was able to cross the river and attack Guanzhong because after the autumn harvest, the results of the farm can be determined in the year. After the military households understand how much red they can share, their morale will be greatly boosted.
Another thing is about the union between the Qing court and the Netherlands.
After the Qing army withdrew from the pass, they gradually gained a foothold outside the pass by exploiting North Korea and purchasing supplies from the Tang Dynasty.
As the Little Ice Age passed, the temperature outside the pass increased, and the land in the northeast became suitable for cultivation.
The land there was fertile and black soil that was most suitable for planting. The Qing court obtained rice suitable for planting in the north from North Korea, as well as wheat, soybeans, and new crops such as dried sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, etc., and the problem of eating was initially solved.
After starving to death by more than 100,000 people, the Qing court survived the famine and began to have the energy to expand its military.
According to Gao Huan's understanding, the northeast has fertile land and abundant minerals. With the help of the Dutch, Hong Chengchou has built many smelting plants and followed Ganchao to establish the Shengjing Manufacturing General Administration in Shengjing, specializing in the production of Western guns and cannons.
It took two five years of construction that the foundation of modernization was laid. Gao Huan did not believe that the Qing army would surpass or equalize the Ganchao once they contacted the Dutch, but it was certain that the Qing court's strength had improved.
At this time, in the palace, Gao Huan stood in front of the map with his hands in his arms and said in a deep voice: "The gunboats built by Denglai Shipyard, Longjiang Shipyard and Jiangnan Shipyard should be given priority to the Beiyang Navy!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Huang Fei was immediately overjoyed after hearing this.
Gao Huan glanced at him, "Don't be too happy, the ship is given to you, there is a task to hand it over. The Beiyang Navy must strengthen inspections in the Bohai Sea, intercept Dutch ships, and prevent them from communicating with the Qing Dynasty!"
Huang Fei heard the words, but the pressure was huge.
After all, the sea is vast, and it is very difficult to completely intercept it. Just as it is difficult for two cavalrymen to collide with each other on the endless grassland. On the vast sea, it is also difficult for the military fleet to collide with Dutch ships.
"I have received the order, and I will do my best to prevent Dutch merchant ships from entering the Bohai Sea!" Huang Fei promised.
Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction when he heard the words, "You are blocking. I will let the Nanyang Navy cooperate with the Luzon Navy to drive away the Dutch people from Java and drive away his horse. This will definitely prevent the exchanges between the Netherlands and the Qing Dynasty."
At this time, Gao Huan was talking to Huang Fei and others, and Xia Wanchun suddenly came in to report, "Your Majesty, Henan is urgently reporting!"
Li Yan has been working as the chief minister of the cabinet for many years.
Although Gao Huan was very satisfied with Li Yan and Li Yan was not old, Gao Huan still began to train new cabinet members.
Xia Wanchun, Sun Kewang, Du Yinxi, and Sun Chuanting were all people who Gao Huan liked, and they were planning to let one of them take over as the chief minister and let Li Yan go to the place for four years.
Gao Huan was stunned when he heard the words, "Henan urgently reported?"
Li Jiyu was so overwhelmed by the fuck that he could not breathe. Could it be that he still dared to attack the fuck army?
Xia Wanchun understood Gao Huan's doubts and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Chang'an has carefully investigated the news. Zhang Xianzhong launched an army to fight north. Most of the Western Army has captured Hanzhong and is about to take advantage of the situation to capture Guanzhong!"
Gao Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the words, "What? Zhang Xianzhong attacked Li Jiyu!"
This news shocked Gao Huan a little, and he didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong to attack Guanzhong.
After all, just as the second half of today is in Gao Huan's hands, the rest of the countries can only unite and have the opportunity to compete with Gao Huan.
Now that Zhang Xianzhong suddenly attacked the Tang Kingdom, Gao Huan was surprised. However, when he thought about it, Gao Huan also understood why Zhang Xianzhong was like this.
The strategy of Ganchao to unify the world was already very obvious, which was to start with Hedong, then Guanzhong, and finally conquer Sichuan.
Now Li Jiyu is obviously unable to withstand the pressure of the Gan Army. So for Zhang Xianzhong, instead of letting the Gan Army occupy Guanzhong, it is better to take the lead and seize Guanzhong as a barrier to resist the Gan Army's destruction of Tang and then destroying the West.
Gao Huan was shocked after hearing the report, but then sneered: "I was originally planning to wait until winter to cross the river and break into Guanzhong. Now that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu are fighting, I just happened to take advantage of their snipe and clam fight, and take down Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and severely damage Zhang Xianzhong's army and replicate the battle of Hedong."
