It is said that since Yu Wan came back, he locked himself in the room and read the classics about Anqing in detail.

With the help of Zheng Yixue, Yu Wan spent three days to finally understand the government affairs and people's conditions in various places and write down his policy program!

On July 20, 1644, the prefect of Anqing, Yu Wan, convened civil servants and generals of the eighth rank in the palace and held the first plenary meeting in the Anqing County Government next to the city lord's mansion.

The civil officials mainly included Hou Jianbao, the magistrate of Huaining, Fan Ziming, the magistrate of Susong, and Yu Wan was temporarily vacant. The military generals were mainly Xu Hu, Qin Boqiong, Jiang Ning, Zhao Xunchang, Du Zhengyan and others.

The bureaucrats were divided into civil and military ranks, and Yu Wanzhe sat high in the hall wearing an official robe and began to promulgate his policy outline.

Military: Change the ward system and implement a new military system.

Half of the existing soldiers were cut off, leaving only three thousand elite soldiers. Those who were laid off could not only receive food and salary as compensation, but also obtain farming tools.

In this way, not only will it save military expenditures and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, but it will also liberate a large number of labor force!

Subsequently, Yu Wan re-divided the remaining 3,000 people into five battalions. One was the imperial guard camp led by Xu Hu, with 300 people under his command, mainly responsible for the security of the city lord's mansion; the other was the Shenji camp led by Zhao Xunchang, with 300 people under his command, which was a special forces carrying out major tasks.

Third and fourth are the Longwei Camp and the Tiger and Leopard Camp of Qin Boqiong and Jiang Ning, which are responsible for Anqing city defense and other battle tasks, with one thousand people in each of the two troops; fifth are the Aegis Battalion led by Du Zhengyan, which is responsible for the defense and patrol of the Yangtze River surface, with 400 people under his command.

Yu Wan referred to the military system of later generations and established companies, platoons, squads and other units below the battalion based on the number of people. The generals of each battalion must obtain permission from the prefect to mobilize the army.

This will solve the stubborn problems of various departments and the multi-headed leaders, and hold the military power firmly in your own hands.

In addition to the soldiers, the entire army was also divided into various battalions.

The Shenji Camp natural person rode his hands, and the rest were divided into Jiang Ning and Qin Boqiong. In order to take good care of these war horses, Yu Wan also specially set up a corresponding regulatory agency - the Shima Supervisor, who was responsible for the breeding of horses.

In addition to reforming the military system, supporting facilities such as swords, guns, armor and other supporting facilities naturally have to keep up. In order to strengthen the supply of military equipment, he also ordered the construction of two arsenals, one for the production of crossbows and swords, and the other for the production of uniforms and armor.

Economic: Develop land and grow grain to develop the population, and develop their own development according to local conditions.

Anqing Prefecture currently has three counties under its jurisdiction, with a total population of 190,000. Among them, Anqing County has a population of 80,000 and arable land of 670,000 mu; Huaining County has a population of 60,000 and arable land of 530,000 mu; Susong County has a population of 50,000 and arable land of 740,000 mu.

In response to the current situation of vast land and sparsely populated areas, he proposed two solutions. One was to issue a special amnesty decree, which released all the more than 10,000 prisoners in the prison. Each person was granted a certain amount of land and had to pay half of the harvest every year as taxes.

Of course, in order to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, Yu Wan stipulated that he must continue to wear shackles after he was released from prison, and dispersed more than 10,000 people to various places. Without the government's permission to prohibit meeting privately, the violators will be sentenced to death.

Second, it was declared that all the land without owners in the territory were taken over by the government. Anyone who came to Anqing to settle down and cultivated farming can not only obtain free fertile land and farming tools, but also pay only half of the taxes paid in other prefectures and counties.

In addition, Yu Wan also proposed different development routes for the geographical environment of each county.

There are many lakes in Anqing County, and fishery, forestry and animal husbandry can be given priority; Susong County has a flat terrain, and tea and mulberry planting industries can be focused on developing; Huaining County has a staggered trunk and tooth-tubated mountain plains, and mineral resources are extremely rich.

Although it has not yet been mined due to technical and financial resources and other conditions, Yu Wan asked Hou Jianbao, the magistrate of Huaining, to build supporting facilities first, cultivate relevant technical talents, and lay the foundation for the future development of the industrial and mining industry.

As long as the cast iron factory is put into use, it is just around the corner to manufacture muskets and cannons in large quantities. Of course, such a major military secret can only be told to Hou Jianbao in private and strictly ordered the latter to keep it confidential.

In terms of official governance: Promote the unity of officials and abolish documentary politics.

Traditional Chinese politics has always been divided into officials and officials. Those who enter the officialdom through scientific research are called officials, but in county-level administrative units, there are only four people who are truly called officials: county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, and academic officer.

The rest are called official officials, and all are recruited by the county magistrate themselves. Simply put, the officials are in the positions of section chiefs and directors of later generations, while the officials are ordinary clerks.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials and officials were clearly divided. Officials could not be censors and were not allowed to be Jinshi. The development space was very limited and the social status was extremely low. No matter how talented they were, there was no hope of turning things around. In the long run, these lower-level officials would be determined to lose everything but not enterprising.

But the bad thing is that officials only care about the officials, but the specific officials are often the oppressed and excluded clerks. They take advantage of the lack of prestige and weaknesses of the officials' lack of understanding of the local situation and are slanderous and versatile, which makes many administrative instructions unable to be released from the county government.

Over time, even the noble officials were corrupted and colluded with each other.

In this regard, Yu Wan's solution was: to abolish the system of diversion of officials, only look at political achievements but not background. As long as both moral integrity and talent are both, the clerks can still hold officials down. The promotion and appointment of all officials in the prefecture and county will all be determined by the term of office and examination results.

In addition, the local government system in the Ming Dynasty had another fatal weakness, which was that it advocated document politics and paid too much attention to the slightest bit of official documents. Everything must be strictly implemented in accordance with the law and documents, regardless of the actual situation.

This will lead to inefficient administrative efficiency, rigid system, and inconsistent governmental orders.

Yu Wan's solution is also very simple: only look at the results but not the process. As long as it does not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty and does not harm the interests of the country and the people, it can be moderately flexible during the governance process and act according to the actual situation in various places and periods.

Other aspects: opening granaries to provide disaster relief to victims, sending troops to participate in the reconstruction of the house, announcing the reopening of the market, and striving to promote commercial recovery. Officials of the seventh rank and above will come to the government office to report to the prefect every month, etc.

This series of measures is just the overall framework of Yu Wan's new policy. In order to ensure that the reform is truly feasible, he also formulated many detailed rules in a targeted manner to ensure that the new policy can take root.

For the officials attending the meeting, many systems and measures in the new policy are unprecedented, but they can clearly feel the talent and strategy of the new prefect.

If the new policy can be implemented smoothly, Anqing's rise will be just around the corner. However, this will inevitably damage the interests of the vested, and a bloody storm is coming again!

Although this chapter is a bit like reading a history book, it still needs to be laid.
