Compared with other indigenous countries, the biggest advantage of the elders is not those weapons, but the ability to process information quickly, compared to the information that needs to be transported eight hundred miles urgently, the imperial capital quickly knew these things.

This can also be regarded as a staff trip of the Presbyterian Council to Guangdong Province, for them, the Guangdong Plain relies on the South China Sea, once developed, the control that can radiate can control almost the entire South China Sea, and even the initiative of immigrants to Australia is in the hands, the plain, population, water sources, mineral deposits, it can be said that the development is top-level, of course, the geographical location is too remote, and it can only be developed by export-oriented.

There are a lot of bad guys here, but more of them are shrewd and gambling ordinary people, and the energy contained is almost invincible, but this apocalyptic cruelty is also jaw-dropping.

"Is this prefect crazy to do such a thing at such a moment?" Zhao Jiaren was the first to learn that there was such a brutal thing, and she was also anxious.

"It's a normal reaction, we are unwilling to march south, lose external pressure, and are in a situation where we don't know who to be loyal to, no Ming gentry will be calm, they will seize the time to absorb wealth, as for the future, who knows." Although Liang Cunhou was busy with the preparation for the establishment of the Celestial Empire University, he did not relax about the outside affairs.

God is pitiful, it is much more difficult to deal with these elders than to deal with those natives, although there are many high-level groups within the elders, and the doctoral diplomas of later generations are not valuable, but it is extremely difficult for them to prepare for classes and study hard, and their future students are basically children with insufficient academic ability and no foundation, so it will be difficult to tutor them.

Fortunately, there is cramming, and in the early stage of teaching to determine the fate of a student's arrangement, this study of electricity, that study architecture, so there is no need to learn those superfluous things, efficiency is also improving, and those children do not know what they are looking at, but they also know that this is a good opportunity to change their fate, in terms of the degree of hard work, later generations of college entrance examination candidates, graduate students, public candidates, that is incomparable.

Although Liang Cunhou has been modestly saying, misleading people's children, misleading people's children, but he actually trained a few good children, all of whom are already in a state of intense internship, in this case, as long as there is an introduction, you can stimulate all the children's enthusiasm for learning, a little material reward, and a stable source of life, which is everything.

Zhao Jiaren said strangely: "But this prefect is so tyrannical, not afraid of the common people rebelling?" ”

Liang Cunhou shook his head and said: "The common people are a very empty word, you bully the people in the west of the city, the people in the east of the city are likely to gloat on the side, you bully the workers, the farmers are likely to eat melons and watch the show, as for the side, when it comes to clans, there are more clans than us, it is obvious that this prefect did not offend the big clans in those places, and it is even very likely that they share the spoils and bully the small surnames, which is very possible." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "Fighting, well, but the others ......"

Liang Cunhou said: "In the past few days, Li Xiangqian has continuously sent back all kinds of cultural relics, as well as his collection of local styles in Henan, according to what he said, the problem of the Ming Dynasty is not only the problem of the Donglin Party, in fact, it is the problem of the mobilization system." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "What? ”

Liang Cunhou explained: "For the foreign occupation forces, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy, with our technology, it is easy to take Vietnam, but after that, how to distinguish between obedient obedient people and coveted rebels, that is the most difficult thing." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "Lead the way party? ”

"You can't tell whether the heart of the party leading the way is really obedient, or is it ready to obtain our resources, and then attack with a backhand, you know, Liu Bangke is a pavilion chief under the Qin Dynasty, in fact, the rebels under the old system are easier to grab benefits and benefits from the system, and then strengthen themselves and seek to usurp the throne, unless Yuri appears, this problem can be solved."

Zhao Jiaren said: "Yuri is bound to fail. ”

"Yes, the mind detection thing is too damning, and if the people have to maintain a pattern, it will cut off any hope of progress, but this kind of thinking does exist, that is, how to screen out potential rebels."

Zhao Jiaren said: "What do people in later generations do. ”

Liang Cunhou shrugged his shoulders and said: "In the future, human rights, if you want power but not obligations, basically, just like the Americans who took down Iraq, they could only completely disband the staff and army of the original hostile government in one go, and find a group of people who were originally suppressed, thinking that they could get support, but ah, people are greedy, and suddenly they get some, and they want to get more, so they start all kinds of trouble, as we know, that's it." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "This is also the reason why that kid has been making trouble for those engineering students to study the chip implanted in the human body." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "I am essentially opposed to this kind of radicalism, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, but I can only take one step at a time, fortunately, the overall situation is not bad, then again, Li Xiangqian is in Henan, but he has a lot of experience, in the end, he is down-to-earth, or he has seen a lot of things." ”

"You mean?"

Liang Cunhou said: "We now know that in another time and space, the reason why the Manchurians were able to gain a firm foothold was to a large extent because many landlords sold their motherland under the premise of preserving their wealth, but the situation at that time was only that part. ”

Zhao Jiaren asked: "Collect taxes?" ”

"It's true that taking people's wealth is like killing their parents, but in this world, collecting taxes on the upper strata of a place may not cause any resentment, because what they are used to is that the pressure of exploitation from the upper strata is transferred to the lower strata, so the effect is not great, after all, he is a kind of person who is a prince and a general, but in fact, he is the captain of the team, and he still has a foundation at the bottom of the society."

Zhao Jiaren said: "The way you interpret it is also interesting, but Li Xiangqian is definitely not satisfied. ”

Liang Cunhou said: "Li Xiangqian contacted the villagers in Henan and learned a lot about the situation, what he said, people are all human beings, they are all composed of various factors, and they cannot be generalized, and at that time, in fact, it is the present in history, what happened after Dolgon used the shaving order in order to lure the snake out of the hole?" ”

Zhao Jiaren thought for a while and said, "It's all bloody and hands-on." ”

"That's right, we originally thought that the shaving order was a stupid move, but after thinking about it carefully, after the shaving order, those who could and dared to oppose it all started to do it, and themselves, the geographical location, financial resources, and food production areas at that time were all in the hands of Dolgon, and the army was the most capable of fighting, if Jiang Xiang ...... Endure until Dorgon is dead......"

Zhao Jiaren shook his head and said: "It's not that I haven't been to Shanxi, the meaning of mountains and rivers on the surface is that it is difficult to play the meaning of Taihang Mountain." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "That's right, the place in Taihang Mountain is too difficult, there is no modern transportation system, historically, it is difficult to fight, but Li Xiangqian sees very clearly in Henan, we have achieved the ultimate in the ancient management rules, it is nothing more than the central government to suppress the locality, so that the local can not support the army and rebel, the local suppression of large and small landlords, landlords suppress civilians, so that they are poor and helpless, so that when the contradictions accumulate, the dynasty can be changed." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "Okay, I understand, this prefect also uses this trick." ”

"Yes, those who should resist, those who can petition, all come out, and the rest are all incapable of resisting, what can I do?"

Zhao Jiaren raised her eyebrows and said, "It's time to send special forces." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "I have different ideas. ”

"Send troops directly? We don't have that many soldiers, and we're going to send them to Vietnam. ”

Liang Cunhou said: "How can there be such a thing, my idea is that Guangdong is temporarily handed over to the Ming gentry, it is okay, but they cannot be allowed to loot the people's wealth like this, where there is oppression, there should be resistance, and our arms trafficking system should also be dispatched." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "Civilian guns? Didn't this head say that it couldn't be opened? ”

Liang Cunhou said: "It's not a gun, protection money, as for how to operate, I haven't thought about it yet, but this kind of thing in the south is definitely not a few, it seems that we only need to watch the fermentation, but knowing that these things are unscrupulous, we don't care, I really can't bear it." ”

Zhao Jiaren sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to take care of it, it's that I really can't manage it, think about it, we only have a mobile force of 10,000 people, and after being transferred to Vietnam this time, there are only one or two thousand people left in the north to be on standby at any time, and at the same time, the recruits trained in the military are not combat effectiveness, how do you say this." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "The battle line has indeed lengthened. ”

For the Presbyterian Church, it is inevitable that there will be more steel and less gas, and Tangshan Iron and Steel can produce a huge amount of steel every day, but it lacks reliable cadres, and these losses are not so easy.

Now, the elders' troops have to stay in the imperial capital at all times, whether it is Liaodong, Mongolia, or the south, they are already constantly repairing roads and railways, and these mobile troops, with the elite trained last year, will soon be transported to Vietnam step by step, and participate in this feast, they are in a very dangerous situation, fortunately, at this time, they have completely controlled the situation, and can almost prepare for war 24 hours a day, to the extent that they reach the war zone.

It can be said that everyone has recruits who are bewitched to join the army in front of eating meat and brand-new uniforms, but in the same way, the quality of recruits is really worrying, and it is too difficult to create a vast interest group that exists around itself, especially in the case of promoting local industrialization and de-agriculturalization, in fact, some landlords have found that things are wrong, even in winter, the fluctuation of grain prices in Hebei is very small, and under the blessing of the train and Liaodong grain, if it is not for the elders to do things leisurely, There is even a way to break down the price of grain in Hebei and fall below the cost price.

In fact, in many places, the relationship between landlords and peasants is not so simple, some peasants, have good skills, have their own cattle, that is almost the role of the landlords deliberately wooed, it is not difficult to reduce some rents, and the exploitation of many landlords, when mixed with the traces of the clan, is also a little warmer.

During World War II, everyone in the U.S. Army could drive, because they were accustomed to driving agricultural vehicles at home, and the low food prices caused by large agriculture, the Great Plains, and the world's largest arable land area completely destroyed the food prices of many countries around the world.

The same is true of the grain in Liaodong, there are almost no landlords, after the usual unstable factors are removed, the excess grain cannot be sold, and the elders are also hurriedly exporting various technologies, either exporting deep processing technology, or increasing the intensity of purchase.

The advantage of this is that in previous years, when it came to the Chinese New Year, almost all agricultural products that had to rise in price basically did not move this winter, or even stabilized and declined.

The peasants have nothing to complain about, at this moment, the rations have long been set aside, it is time to sell them to pay off their debts or exchange them for some rich products, and the clothes for their children have also been completed, and as for the fertilizer sent down above, it has long been stored.

The grain merchants are not dissatisfied, although they cannot arbitrarily raise prices, but the nobles who used to suck blood and water on them are now either in the field, or they are all honest, and they have a source of grain with quality and quantity, and the price is cheap, and they are naturally very happy.

But for those landlords who are not big or small, they originally thought that they could sell grain to the outside world in winter and make a fortune just like in previous years, but they were all dumbfounded.

There are already dissatisfied voices in Liang Cunhou's ears, and naturally there are unlucky people who are blocked by creditors because of early consumption, after all, the elders have taken consumerism to the extreme, and transformed the mainstream atmosphere of society into chasing various tricks thrown by the elders from time to time.

Of course, the landlords can't make enough money, not to mention the previous land acquisition, it is indeed a lot of blood, and the silver they buried in the kang still smells fishy, not to mention that they honestly come to buy things.

Zhao Jiaren suddenly pointed to the bride in front of her, and the little lady bowed her head and said silently: "This is the first person in our house to officially marry, Wang Jian is also good." ”

Liang Cunhou smiled and said: "I have been in contact with that little girl, she has a good personality, she should be a virtuous helper, especially a person like Wang Jian who takes the initiative to manage the intelligence department, and the peace of the house is also a plus." ”

"Hehe, it's just a marriage for a son." Zhao Jiaren sneered.

Indeed, Wang Jianyue asked his sister to watch a movie before, but he was very reserved, and he couldn't go further, "thanks to" Li Xiangqian's arrangement, a bucket of water brought a marriage, which can be regarded as a complete merit, and under the pretext of changing clothes for his sister, Wang Jian succeeded, but he didn't expect him to be shot, so he arranged the wedding along the river.
