More than a year after taking control of the north, Wang Yan issued political orders.

Recruiting troops, farming, building water conservancy, building bridges and roads, building factories, societies and other basic matters to resume production and construction. A large number of craftsmen were gathered and sent to various research and development groups under him to study and participate.

Famous doctors and doctors were summoned to participate in the improvement of secret medicines, as well as the overall health and medical construction. The old masters who had no hope of taking the imperial examination were found and sent to Liaodong for intensive training for the future...

Generally speaking, Wang Yan did not make any big moves.

The only ones who were considered bigger were the gentry and landlords who swept through the entire north, bringing down a large number of middle and lower-level officials and a small number of upper-level civil servants. The hard labor team grew a little more, and the land was allocated to ordinary farmers.

There are no big changes overseas. Basically, you are either farming or mining, and then use the paper coupons issued by Wang Yan to buy the goods that Wang Yan sold in the past. Warships sailing on the ocean, as long as they do not belong to your own people, are robbed on a daily basis.

Only the Mughal Empire was not very peaceful. Of course, it was more of a one-sided massacre than a battle. After all, it is no exaggeration to say that Wang Yan's military strength is the best in the world. It cannot be compared with those little rubbish.

He is not worthy of being an opponent.

It has occupied part of the Linhai area and arrested many locals. They are farming under the guidance of the old farmers on the ship. At the same time, they are purposefully contacting its internal forces and decided to help the family rise to power...

As for the hometown outside the customs, as the first to start the industrial revolution, its development is definitely needless to mention. And the most important thing is that the women in the entire Liaodong are not pregnant. They have either just given birth or have not shown their pregnancy.

With a stop.

We can't blame Wang Yan for treating women as production tools. After all, this is the most natural division of labor between men and women. Moreover, with such a large land and such a small number of people, coupled with Wang Yan's good policies, he himself will not let it go.

…

In terms of the overall structure, Wang Yan slightly changed his thirteenth level and used it on the structure of the entire country. The difference is that the current official title that Wang Yan referred to was combined with some subsequent positions.

The responsibilities of the civil and military officials were consolidated and given names, and the original names were basically used.

As for the original system of three provinces and six ministries, Wang Yan abolished the three provinces and the Ministry of War, and clarified the responsibilities of the remaining five ministries and set up clear branches. He also separated the finance department from the Ministry of Household Affairs and established a separate department, plus the security department established by Wang Yan.

The rank of the Division is the same as that of the Sixth Ministry. The original Ministry of War was merged into the Fifth Army Governor's Office, which is the same yamen he served as the "Left Governor". This is the highest military organization. Such a large framework became the Sixth Ministry, one division and one mansion.

Although the ancient civil servants paid attention to general knowledge and learned everything, and there were many brilliant people, there were only a few who could fight on horseback. The commanders of the troops could not rely purely on ideas. Which civil servant could fight?

It's no different than playing house. In the future, Wang Yan will set up a military academy under the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to specialize in training military officers.

The most critical point is that although Wang Yan does not prohibit military families from joining politics or civilian families from joining the army, there are clear regulations. Based on the energy of the family in the court, a highest position is determined. In this family, the highest official position is

As long as that person does not step down, he will work until death. No matter how great his merits are, he will only have one position, and he will not be able to move up in this life. Besides, his own position is not enough. How much merit does he have if he has functions?

Anyway, the summary is, whoever dares to extend their hands to each other will be killed.

Wang Yan retained the original cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from no longer having to vote with the eunuchs, it was basically the same as before. It's just that the leaders of the six ministries have all joined the cabinet, and one cabinet minister is no longer as capable as before.

It leads several ministries. The main function of the cabinet is to discuss how to do things and to help share Wang Yan's work. It is not to let them study how to expand the power of their subordinates.

Of course, at this stage, except for the three or two civil servants who followed him from Liaodong and are qualified for big posts, the other cabinet ministers are all the same people from before, and the overall power of civil servant governance is not in the hands of Wang Yan

.

Wang Yan doesn't care about these rights. He doesn't even care how these people are corrupt, how they fight for power, how they form gangs to suppress him. As long as his decree can be effectively conveyed to the local area and implemented.

, as long as the results can meet his expectations, then he will not care. Anyway, the soldiers are in his hands, and it is easy to control this group of people.

This is also the case. After Wang Yan killed a group of civil servants who fooled him, these people also found Wang Yan's bottom line. Although the administrative efficiency is not great, some policies can indeed be implemented, even though there are many local officials.

It's a double act...

However, Wang Yan's control over various industrial constructions is quite high. He has a complete set of inspection methods and absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of shoddy projects. It is okay to be greedy for money, but no matter how greedy you are, the work must be done with quality and quantity.

Okay. If you can’t do it well, you’ll just masturbate, your house will be ransacked, you’ll be raped, and you’ll be demoted to hard labor…

Wang Yan has abolished the special group of eunuchs. After the recent turmoil, there are not many eunuchs left in the Forbidden City, only a few thousand. The older Wang Yan asked them to retire and directly provide for their old age. The younger ones

The eunuchs are the first to do the work, and they are the last batch. Originally, all the responsibilities of the eunuchs were handed over to a group of maids. Since it is not convenient to use men, they will all be used to women.

In fact, he doesn't care about this stuff. None of the women in the harem would put a hat on either of them. If he doesn't have any self-confidence, what else is he doing?

Wang Yan also changed the administrative divisions. He did not touch the big provinces. He just eliminated some provinces that were in charge of everything as they were. Shaanxi was divided into Gansu according to the later map. The government,

Towns, townships, and villages were clarified with reference to later generations. Shuntian Prefecture was still under the direct control of the central government, and Beizhili was abolished. Except for Shuntian Prefecture newly designated by Wang Yan, other areas belonged to various provinces.

Wang Yan also restructured the most critical army. It was divided into four major legions, the Qinglong Guard, the Xuanwu Guard, the White Tiger Guard, and the Suzaku Guard.

The Qinglong Guard, White Tiger Guard, and Suzaku Guard are all marine troops, nothing special. Only the Qinglong Guard is similar to the original Beijing Camp, with a slightly more special status. The Xuanwu Guard is the navy and the Marine Corps, which are divided into Xuanwu Land

Wei, Xuanwu Haiwei.

Under the Four Guards, there are ten armies, each with a strength of 100,000, and are named in order from the beginning of the large army. The highest military officer is the legion commander who leads the army of 100,000 troops. No one can lead the millions of soldiers and horses of the large army.

Very useful.

Of course, his total number of soldiers is less than 500,000 now, and it will take several years to reach 4 million soldiers.

Jinyiwei, this is what Wang Yanchuan's movie is about, and he himself thought the name was quite nice. So he kept the name Jinyiwei, but made some changes to his authority. In general, it is still personal guards, honor guards, etc.

, except that we no longer care about intelligence assassinations, there is basically no big difference.

The police powers of the Security Department are basically a combination of the police and the armed police in later generations. Especially now, the police are basically excellent soldiers who have retired from the army, and their combat effectiveness is not higher than that of the regular troops under them. The police will be gradually released in the future.

The qualifications for serving in the army should no longer be filled by retired soldiers. It would be better to create a separate unit.

And at this stage, in some major cities, there are not only police officers, but also military garrisons. When there are more people under his command, there will be more and more garrisons. They take turns to go out to fight, and take turns to come back to garrison to rest, which is regarded as a holiday for the soldiers.

…

Time soon came to the second year. Since there was no new emperor, the Central Plains still used the previous reign name. That is, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Yan took action.

It is not difficult to build a school club, so the school clubs in most parts of the north are the first to be built. What troubles Wang Yan is not the number of clubs, not the number of students, nor the material problem of compulsory education.

It is about the number of intellectuals. There are too few old masters, and it is simply impossible to educate all school-age children in the north. It is far from what Wang Yan imagined.

But no matter how you say it, it is education and the foundation of orthodoxy. As a year passed, the group of old masters who had been captured and trained in Liaodong returned, and disputes began.

In fact, the civil service group has been gearing up for a long time. However, because Wang Yan had been assigned many tasks and heavy responsibilities before, and Wang Yan was rich and had sufficient supplies, these people were busy making money and becoming more powerful. In addition, Wang Yan was Zheng Zheng at that time.

The land inventory and land reform were carried out with great brutality, and these people were also afraid.

It has been delayed until now. The club has been built, the boys and girls nearby have been counted, and lectures and education are about to begin. Then we have to start taking action. If we don't move, it will be too late. No one is a fool.

Understand the importance of education, which is their foundation. Without this, they will not be able to survive for long.

Who are the children in Wang Yan's school? They are girls. When can girls come out to study? They want to learn the three obediences and four virtues, and what are the female precepts for this and that. Now? Look at those families in Liaodong who don't care.

The most important thing about a woman who works hard is that she earns a lot of money? Is this ridiculous?

Let’s take a look at what is taught in the academy? Literacy, mathematics, investigating objects, and most importantly, military combat? Should it be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han and Tang Dynasties? Scholars carrying swords and knives? Is that true? The most important thing is

What's interesting is that among these courses, apart from some sages' liberal arts and inspirational articles in literacy classes, is there a study of saints?

So at the court meeting on the first day of April, a group of civil servants very patiently told Wang Yanliang how to govern the world and what to rely on to govern this and that.

Including the Shandong Kong family, they also wrote a small letter to express their thoughts...

Then Wang Yan issued an order to directly send 20,000 soldiers to attack Shandong for the ten major crimes of land embezzlement, tax embezzlement, tax evasion, private punishment, indiscriminate killing of innocents, etc.

Shandong was left untouched when the land was cleared. It is no exaggeration to say that the Kong family in Shandong was the emperor of the country. As for Qufu, where its hometown is, it is a country within a country. Basically, all local officials are named Kong. Livestock

Needless to say, they had domestic slaves and private soldiers. After all, without strong force to suppress them, they would not have been able to rule there for thousands of years.

If he doesn't send troops to suppress it, there will probably be another peasant uprising. These people are so good at it. In fact, even the peasants who are fighting fiercely in the south now have no guarantee that these people will not get involved.

I heard that Wang Yan said that he would send people to raid the Confucius family and depose Yanshenggong. This would completely dig into their civil servant roots. Yanshenggong was a mascot promoted by a group of civil servants. It would be good to put it there. As for

It doesn't matter whether he is the direct descendant of Saint Confucius or not, they just say so.

Therefore, several middle-level civil servants wanted to meet Wang Yan and die in the main hall. This was the first step of temptation. Wang Yan readily agreed and helped them, and then sent people to ransack their homes.

When a civil servant leader came out to stand, Wang Yan had his bodyguards knock him to death against a pillar in the main hall. Then his house was ransacked. As usual, the women were assigned to Liaodong officials and all the men were demoted to hard labor.

This harsh method indeed suppressed the opposition in the court, but Wang Yan could not stop the violent storm brewing behind the scenes. The enemy was hidden and we were clear, so we could only kill people at the first sight.

In the next more than a year, civil servants encouraged scholars, businessmen and the remnants of the gentry to cause trouble, deceive the common people, and deceive lower-level civil servants into rebelling. In addition, a group of people in the south encouraged the peasant army to go north. What Wang Yan mainly did

It's a job of killing people and ransacking their homes.

The scholar's rebellion lasted ten years. It did affect the development of production and construction, but it was a stubborn disease. It was reasonable and necessary to sacrifice some development time.

Of course, Confucianism has been tied to China for thousands of years. Wang Yan certainly cannot destroy it, and there is no need to destroy Confucianism. If you really want to say it, the thoughts of Confucius are indeed shining through the ages, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with self-cultivation and self-denial.

.It’s just that now it’s been made a big deal by a group of intellectuals with ulterior motives. They all talk about the words of saints, benevolent, righteous and moral, and have no business with others.

Wang Yan's main purpose this time is to destroy Confucianism. Confucianism can be allowed to exist, but Confucianism must be destroyed. In this way, to a certain extent, he can be regarded as a cultural movement. As time slowly develops, eventually

A hundred flowers will bloom.

This turmoil can be said to have been provoked by Wang Yan on his own initiative. This was a century-old plan. Rather than letting others slowly dig up the roots later, it would be better for him to kill them first.

In particular, this wave also involved many businessmen who were tired of their work. Wang Yan happened to collect business taxes. He had thought about collecting them before, but the civil servant group was more opposed. Why can't they compete with the people for profits? Increase taxes.

Well. At that time, Wang Yan had to rely on this group of people to do the most basic work of restoring production and construction, and he has been holding it back until now.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Wang Yan doesn't need those people to work now. After all, he still needs educated people to carry out his decrees. It's just that some of the work has been completed now, and it doesn't matter if there are fewer civil servants.

Moreover, Wang Yan was very restrained and tried not to touch a large number of petty officials at the middle and lower levels. Instead, he specifically recruited high-level officials and then promoted lower-level officials to higher positions. Besides, there were so many people who wanted to be officials, so they clearly knew that Wang Yan was digging into the roots of Confucianism.

They will also be willing to wave the flag and shout. How can you get to the top if you don't wave the flag? How can you honor your ancestors and get ahead if you don't shout?

There are also many grassroots officials who have worked at the grassroots level for so many years and are familiar with local affairs. However, due to their status, they cannot be promoted to official positions in this life. Now that Wang Yan has opened a channel, what will they choose? Although there are many

No petty official is a good person, but Wang Yan wants someone who can do things and can carry out his orders. Whether he is good or not is not within his scope of consideration.

It will have to wait until later, when his little kids have become talented and there are people under his command, then Wang Yan will launch a big wave of liquidation. It won't take long, and another one of 5, 7 or 8 years will be enough.
To be continued...
