Chapter 917 Ventilation in advance

After Gao Huan defeated the Tangxi Allied Forces, he did not need Gao Huan to command the matter himself, so he could do it.

After appointing Sun Chuanting as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Gao Huan handed over all military and political affairs in Guanzhong to Sun Chuanting, and he led several civil officials to inspect various parts of Guanzhong.

Gao Huan first worshipped Huangdi, and then ordered people to repair Li Zicheng's tomb to pay homage to this controversial hero of the late Ming Dynasty to win the hearts of the people in Guanzhong.

On that day, Gao Huan led several ministers to inspect Tongzhou to learn about the people's livelihood in Guanzhong so as to formulate corresponding land policies.

At this time, Gao Huan and his group stood by the Luoshui River, staring at the yellowed wheat fields on both sides.

Gao Huan pointed at a large area of ​​fields and said in a deep voice: "This land in Guanzhong has been redistributed by Shun and Tang countries, and the people's enthusiasm has increased greatly after obtaining the land!"

Ma Shiying said: "Your Majesty, what the people ask for is only the two affairs of land and peace. Now that the imperial court collects Guanzhong, it will soon unify the world. At that time, peace will bring peace to the people, and the people will soon usher in a prosperous era."

Gao Huan glanced at Ma Shiying and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "What after the prosperous age?"

Ma Shiying was slightly stunned, not understanding Gao Huan's meaning, so he saluted and said, "Please give me some advice."

Gao Huan's eyes were deep, and he was filled with the sage's compassion for the world. "Ma Qing, you still have limits when you look at problems, and your eyes still jump out to truly solve the problems in the world."

After hearing Gao Huan's words, Ma Shiying and others bowed their heads and prepared to listen to the teachings of His Majesty the great emperor.

Gao Huan carried his hands on his back and raised his belly, pointing to Jiangshan: "For thousands of years, as a farming civilization, the problems in China over the years have been related to land. If it is simple and rough, summed up from the perspective of economic and resource, a dynasty always has three stages."

Ma Shiying and others already knew what Gao Huan was going to say, but they still asked: "Your Majesty, what are the three stages?"

Gao Huan held his hands behind his back, "In the early days of the dynasty, the population decreased after the war and abundant land resources. After the new dynasty redistributed resources, most of the people had their own land to cultivate, and even many wastelands were waiting for the people to reclaim. At this stage, there were many lands and few people. As long as the dynasty cultivated and rested, did not fight or tossed, the strength of the dynasty would grow rapidly."

Everyone cooperated and nodded, but they did not dare to express their opinions easily.

Everyone is a high-ranking official of the Qian Dynasty, so they naturally have to be loyal to His Majesty and ask for the people, but they cannot ignore the feelings of the civil and military officials and the entire bureaucratic system.

After all, if you offend all your colleagues, you will definitely be unable to move forward in the officialdom in the future and realize your political ambitions.

Gao Huan glanced at everyone and continued: "In this way, after decades, nearly a hundred years, the population grew, the land was developed, and the dynasty reached its peak. Then, as the population grew, the land resources were fixed and no longer increased, and the dynasty began to fall into inversion. At this stage, since there was no new wasteland to be developed, the nobles and gentry landlords of the dynasty began to extend their hands to the people's land, and the trend of land annexation appeared. At this time, with the annexation of land, the lives of the people began to become difficult, while the taxes of the court began to decrease, and the dynasty was in crisis."

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "At this time, one or two people with ambition will usually appear to carry out a reform that reverses the situation and attempt to reverse the dynasty's decline, but this kind of reform has rarely succeeded in history. In the end, dynasties of all generations have almost inevitably reached the last stage of the dynasty. The land was concentrated in the hands of a few nobles and landlords, causing the people to have no land to farm, the central court cannot collect taxes, and eventually the finances go bankrupt and the dynasty will perish."

Gao Huan showed a melancholy expression on his face and looked at Ma Shiying and said, "Ma Qing, if I and you just created a new dynasty and did not solve the problems of the past dynasties, then it would just put the people in another cycle. Li Jiyu and Zhang Xianzhong could do this. I and you officials would not have advanced nature and have made little contribution to history and the entire nation. Do you understand?"

After hearing Gao Huan's words, Ma Shiying couldn't help but admire Gao Huan's talent and strategy, but he also knew that there was still huge resistance to change.

Other ministers also admire Gao Huan's ambitions, but they think that the change of dynasties is the law of history and will not change because of anything.

They knew that Gao Huan wanted to promote public ownership of land, and that dynasties could last forever?

Many people are suspicious of this, and the land was originally owned, but suddenly said it was nationalized. Who can bear it?

"Your Majesty is wise and has a long-term vision, and it is not up to me." Ma Shiying and others, regardless of whether they support it or not, saluted respectfully in front of Gao Huan.

Gao Huan hopes that they can understand their hard work, but if they don’t understand, he will be considered a ventilator for them. At that time, Gao Huan cannot blame him for being ruthless.

The land policy in Hedong has not been resolved yet, and now the Qian Dynasty has collected Guanzhong again. How to distribute the interests of destroying Tang will become the focus of internal discussion and controversy in the Qian Dynasty.

Gao Huan was about to discuss the land issue with everyone, and at this moment, a group of cavalry rushed in from a distance.

The cavalry led by the leader saw Gao Huan and his group running from a distance, turning over and dismounting, then hurriedly trotted to Gao Huan, knelt on one knee, "Report to Your Majesty, Hebei urgently reported."

Gao Huan frowned slightly when he heard the utterance, took the military newspaper transferred from Yang Yan, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Ma Shiying couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, I, Daqian, won a great victory in Guanzhong and destroyed Li Jiyu. When the Qing army received the news, they should withdraw their troops immediately. What news came from Hebei? Could it be that the Qing army was still attacking Hebei?"

Gao Huan handed the information to Ma Shiying and said in a deep voice: "The Qing army has indeed withdrawn, but Gao Mingheng has heard the news that has made me very worried. The Qing court colluded with the Red and Mao Yi. Two years later, they have built mortars and flowering shells and shelled Shanhaiguan. This has forced me to be alert."

Ma Shiying read the information, "Governor Gao is very worried about the alliance between the Qing army and the Netherlands. It seems that after the Qing army cooperates with the Red and Mao Yi, their firearms have been greatly improved."

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying felt a stern, "Your Majesty, Kong Youde and others joined the Qing Dynasty, and asked the Qing army's firearms to surpass the Ming Dynasty. Now the Qing army colluded with the Red and Mao Yi, we must be careful!"

During this period, Gao Huan's energy was mainly focused on the Battle of Hedong and the Destruction of Tang. In fact, a lot of things have happened overseas in the past two years.

After being defeated, the Netherlands found the Qing Dynasty. After Spain lost Luzon, the fleet that came to reinforce arrived in Japan and reached a loan agreement with the Tokugawa shogunate. Yuruo's Kuci obtained a temporary stronghold.

Both the Dutch and the Spanish appeared in Northeast Asia, which is not good news for Gao Huan.

Gao Huan was silent for a while and nodded slightly, "Go back to the city! I think I should return to the capital and solve this problem!"

After speaking, Gao Huan immediately turned over and went to Tongzhou City surrounded by his ministers, and already wanted to return to the court.

It is May, and it is only one or two months before winter wheat and soybeans are ripe.

When Gao Huan was inspecting Guanzhong, Hedong Governor Sun Kewang was also inspecting the farmland near Taiyuan.

Last year, after Gao Huan appointed Sun Kewang as the Hedong Administrator, he came to Hedong to preside over the reform of public land ownership, state-owned farms and collective farms.

Because Sun Kewang had the right to report secretly, the officials and gentry and merchants in the court did not dare to blatantly hinder him from governing in Hedong, so that state-owned and collective farms could be implemented.

At this time, Sun Kewang was wearing a farmer's clothes and a straw hat, standing in a soybean field, looking at the green soybean field, with a smile on his face.

"Fan Tai, looking at the soybean growth, all farms will definitely have a bumper harvest this year!" An official smiled and said, "Fan Tai will definitely receive the reward from His Majesty."

Sun Kewang waved his hand, "It's not time to celebrate now. By the way, are the sales of soybeans well connected?"

"Don't worry, Fantai has already purchased several major refineries." The official smiled.

Sun Kewang nodded, "Let's go there and see how the wheat is rising!"
