I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 669: Land reform resistance removal

After the cleaning lasted for nearly half a month, Wu Changqing stopped the action.

Everything has to be done in moderation, too much is too late.

If it really scares all officials away from becoming an official, the world will be ruined.

Although this is unlikely to happen, it is definitely not possible to manage hundreds of officials by relying solely on harsh methods. You have to pay attention to both grace and power.

After the purge was over, the officials who had survived the catastrophe breathed a sigh of relief.

They all know that they have been safe in a short period of time and have another good life.

However, this is always temporary.

How to keep yourself safe forever?

Many officials are thinking about this issue. In fact, it is not difficult to do it. It is often safe to learn from Ruan Dacheng and be a lone minister.

However, people cannot help themselves in officialdom.

There are really not many people who are qualified and qualified to be lone ministers.

Many people have already been labeled as factions before entering officialdom.

During the purges, more than 40 officials were executed, and more than 20 died in prison. The rest are either exiled or turned into civilians.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, their homes have been raided.

Depending on the degree of the crime, the intensity of the investigation is also different.

For those officials who are demoted to civilians, the family only needs to take out the amount he embezzled, plus a fine.

For those officials who were exiled, their homes were thoroughly raided, leaving only a small amount of property for their families to make ends meet.

As for those who have been sentenced to death, it is even more miserable. The families of these people will definitely hate the court and the emperor.

Therefore, these people must not let them in the society, which is a factor of instability.

The males in these officials’ homes were all taken to mine or build roads, while the females were taken to the Jiaofang Division to serve as official prostitutes.

After copying the homes of more than 100 officials, the imperial court directly increased its income by nearly 20 million yuan. On average, every family found almost 200,000 yuan, which shows their wealth.

Among them, Dai Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, copied the most, reaching nearly 2 million yuan.

And this is just a bribe he has accepted over two years as an official in Dahua.

As long as the department of the Ministry of Industry dares to make money, there are plenty of opportunities to make money.

Qian Qianyi was demoted, Dai Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was executed, Mifang was exiled, the chief of the Ministry of Rites, Cha Yan was executed, and the governor of Yangzhou was exiled...

There is one charge, corruption.

As soon as the punishment came out, the people applauded.

As an ordinary person, there is more or less a feeling of hatred for the rich.

Seeing corrupt officials being punished, it is hard for the people to be happy or not.

Of course, they may not think that the person who is replaced will basically be a corrupt official in the future.

Moreover, the money that was confiscated has also been collected into the treasury, which has nothing to do with them.

But this does not prevent them from being happy and celebrating, and being able to see the bad luck of corrupt officials is itself a thing to be happy about.

After the great cleansing, there was no resistance to land reform.

There is no official backing support, and it is extremely difficult for the landlords to connect with each other.

Without an effective organization, they are just a piece of loose sand that can only be broken one by one.

Landlords all over the country resisted at the same time, and Dahua would be finished.

Unfortunately, not every landlord has this kind of consciousness.

People are lucky. Most people always count on others to resist, let others take risks, and then hide behind themselves to enjoy the benefits.

In the face of aggression, although most of them hate it in their hearts, they also hope that others will fight it. Only a few dared to stand up.

This is the case for the common people, and even more so for the landlords. They are smarter than anyone else, so how can they afford to take risks?

The landlord who was scattered in the sand was finally defeated by Dahua's land reform policy.

Facing Dahua’s land reform policy, they had no choice but to succumb.

A large number of landlords have chosen to sell their land and switch to business.

If you continue to hold the land, you will be paying the court to grow food. People with sick brains will do so.

Moreover, Dahua is relatively friendly to businessmen, and doing business is also a way out.

As long as you can make money, it doesn't really matter what you do.

A lot of land was sold, and the price of land dropped again and again, and in the end it almost fell to three or four yuan per mu.

However, even at this price, there are a large number of people who want to buy but cannot afford it.

In response to this situation, Wu Changqing came up with a loan plan, lending money to the people to buy land at low interest rates.

Or, the government directly bought land from the landlord and leased it to the people for farming at a low price.

With various means, a large number of tenant farmers and poor peasants began to own land.

A big family can basically live a pretty good life by planting 50 acres of land.

With the current population, the current lands are barely enough.

But Wu Changqing also knew that in peacetime, the rate of population growth would be very fast.

After more than ten to twenty years, the world’s population will have to increase by several percent, or even double.

At that time, the land will not be divided enough.

To this end, Wu Changqing also prepared follow-up measures.

One is to build water conservancy projects and continue to reclaim wasteland.

At present, Dahua still has a lot of wasteland that can be reclaimed. As long as the canals are repaired and enough water is available for irrigation, many places can be reclaimed into fertile land.

The other is to continue to improve seeds and increase the planting area of ​​potatoes and corn.

These crops have low land requirements and can be grown on a large scale.

The other is to produce more fertilizers and popularize the use of fertilizers.

Increasing the amount of land, increasing grain production, and emigrating overseas are Wu Changqing's three major methods to solve the land problem.

With these three tricks, the contradiction between population and land can basically be resolved.

When the land reform was implemented step by step, it brought great shock to the people.

These people never thought that the court would allocate land to them.

Those people who have experienced the Ming and Qing dynasties have always thought that the imperial court will only collect taxes and oppress the people, but nothing else.

Unexpectedly, Dahua would even divide the land. Farm tools and fertilizers will be provided.

This is incredible, like a dream.

People who have been poor are more likely to know gratitude.

Some people whose land had been plundered regained their land, and their gratitude to the court could not be expressed in words.

What they can do is to ask someone to make a statue of Wu Changqing and offer it at home.

Three meals a day and one worship, one worship if there are important things, and one worship if there is nothing to do.

For a time, Wu Changqing's prestige among the people reached a high point.

Under the propaganda of the grassroots cadres, the people knew that all their happy lives were brought to them by Wu Changqing.

As long as this kind of thinking continues to spread, there will be nothing for others to rebel in the future.
