I

Zhao Han destroyed the Zheng family. In addition to the Ruan family and the Dutch, the monarchs and ministers of the Nanzhang Kingdom were also frightened.

Nanzhang is Lancang, just a transliteration error.

Zhao Han's main crime for overthrowing Annan was that his king had arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor. The contents of the incriminating edict reached the Nanzhang Kingdom, and the young Nanzhang King Solina Wangsa immediately, under the guidance of the Queen Mother and ministers, deprived himself of his title that month and sent envoys to Nanjing to request for the title.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty consecrated the Lao Xuanwei Envoy, the highest-ranking chieftain official, and he was not the king of Nanzhang!

It was not until the Jiajing period that the Lao Xuanwei envoy secretly announced the establishment of the Nanzhang Kingdom. This move, without any warning from the Ming court, was naturally a serious act of transgression. Now they were afraid that Zhao Han would kill them easily.

Since he was so obedient, Zhao Han did not embarrass him and still gave the Lao ambassador the seal.

The sovereignty of the entire Laos belongs to China in name, and the chieftains have full authority to govern the area. In fact, the soup is changed without changing the medicine, just changing the name. The government agencies in Nanzhang still use the same style after the independence and founding of the country.

In addition, the Kingdom of Kyrgyzstan (Cambodia) also sent envoys to request the seal, and Zhao Han immediately granted King Jinnah the gold seal.

Destroy an Annan, and all the small countries next to it will become well-behaved.

Cambodia is actually pretty awesome. Fifty years ago, it defeated the Spanish invasion. Five years ago, it defeated the Dutch invasion and never looked down upon the European colonists.

On the contrary, Nan Phan Kingdom is very magical, sandwiched between Nguyen, Champa, and Cambodia. The land was very mountainous, and no one was there. They hid in the valleys and did not care about world affairs, and they were too lazy to send envoys to Nanjing. (The Cham Kingdom was destroyed by Annan and split into three kingdoms: Champa, Huaying, and Nanpan. Then Huaying was annexed by Annan.)

…

Nanjing.

Zhao Han personally selected a group of officials, all of whom not only had outstanding political achievements, but also had experience in governing in places where education was not popular.

Zhang Jiayu, the political envoy on the left, Sun Chuanting, the administrative envoy on the right, Zhang Huangyan, the chief judge, and Shi Kefa, the civilizing envoy.

The administrative divisions were also completely changed. The northwest region of Vietnam was designated as Tuyen Quang Province, Quang Nam Province. The government governs Xuanguang City, including Lao Cai, Yi Road, Yen Bai and other places.

The northern and northeastern areas were designated as Lang Son Province. The prefecture governs Lang Son City, including Taiyuan, Gaoping, Beijiang and other places.

The main area of ​​the Red River Delta was designated as Hanoi Prefecture, which governed Thang Long City.

Further south, there are Nam Dinh Province and Thanh Ho Province (Than Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh).

In the entire area north of Hengshan in Vietnam, there are only these five prefectures for the time being, which is countless times simpler than when the Zheng family ruled.

The old bad name also needs to be changed.

For example, Taiyuan was changed to Tingyin County because there was a Tingjiang River in the north of the city. Let’s talk about Shanxi, which was changed to Hexi County, meaning west of Hanoi City.

Zhao Han said: "When you go to Guangnan, the first priority is land reform, and the second priority is education. Land reform must be fierce, and a sharp knife can cut through the mess. If it is not fierce, it will not be enough. Education must be slow, and the moisturizing will be silent, and not slow is not enough. To bring peace to the people.”

Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Majesty, if the land reform is forced in Guangnan, the gentry will definitely be in chaos."

Zhao Han sneered: "We want them to cause chaos. Those who take the lead in the rebellion will be executed! Those who participate in the rebellion will have their homes confiscated and immigrated to Liaoning by sea ship! Only in this way can the influence of the big clans be eliminated and the stability of Guangnan Province in the future be affected." It’s of great benefit.”

The ministers wanted to laugh after hearing this, and they confiscated the homes of the gentry in the tropical areas and immigrated to Liaoning. The damn weather made them feel better.

Shi Kefa, the enlightenment envoy, was a temporary official position. Taking charge of the cultural and educational affairs of Quang Nam Province is slow to achieve results and carries a heavy responsibility.

Shi Kefa said: "Your Majesty, please move five hundred households to Guangnan. These five hundred households are all teachers and their families. When they arrive in Guangnan, they must be allocated the most fertile land, and their salaries will be higher than before. .”

"Accurate!" Zhao Han agreed immediately.

This is the advantage of population. If a new territory is occupied, five hundred households of teachers alone can be immigrated, which is more than the entire Dutch population in Batavia.

Zhao Han said: "Li Dingguo will move to Taiwan, and the families of the 10,000 soldiers will also move to Taiwan to cultivate land. This division radiates to Fujian, Ryukyu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guangnan and Luzon. Liu Xinyu is stationed in Hanoi. Control the northern part of Quang Nam Province. Dinh Jiasheng is stationed in Thanh Hoa and controls the southern part of Quang Nam Province. These two Guangxi divisions and their families will also immigrate to Quang Nam Province."

Sun Chuanting asked: "The two divisions and their families immigrated to Guangnan. How to divide the land among them?"

Zhao Han said: "With the land reform order, the gentry in Guangnan will definitely cause trouble. And they will use their language barrier to trick the poor people into making trouble. If a war breaks out, people will definitely die. In the previous war, the Zheng family and the Mo family also killed a lot of people, and they also killed a lot of people. Some gentry and common people fled to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Ruan family. The land must be divided enough, but it is not enough, so some Guangnan people moved to Hebei, which has an empty population."

"Yes." Sun Chuanting understood.

Zhao Han added: "The families of the soldiers who moved to Guangnan were organized into groups of one hundred families and lived together with the local people in Guangnan villages. The Guangnan people in these villages were influenced to learn to speak Chinese. At the same time, they also Learn from the local people and master the local farming season. The climate there is different, and how to grow food is also somewhat different."

In order to completely integrate Guangnan Province, Zhao Han has made great efforts this time, and he doesn't know when the money and food he has spent will be recovered.

He does not have any moral burden, and even the soldiers of Datong will not have any moral burden.

Because from the perspective of the Vietnamese people, the Datong Army went to liberate them. The civil war there has been going on for decades, and the people at the bottom have been brutally exploited, and their situation is no different from that of the people in the late Ming Dynasty. The gentry's land was confiscated and distributed to the peasants. As long as the land reform was completed, the people's hearts and minds would return to Zhao Han, and the Vietnamese gentry would not be able to cause trouble even if they wanted to.

To be honest, in the Chinese cultural circle, people from all countries are pretty much the same.

If farmers want to turn around, they must rely on land reform policies. Including Japan and South Korea later, the rapid development after the war was also the foundation laid by the land reform.

Who will lead land reform in Japan and South Korea?

Of course it’s the five-star emperor!

Zhao Han encouraged: "My lords, Guangnan is remote, so I have to help you. With six years as the deadline, as long as Guangnan is stable, you will be able to go straight to the center!"

"I have dedicated my whole life to die!" All the ministers bowed quickly.

Except for Zhang Jiayu, the others all joined Zhao Han relatively late, and they are not too young. Working hard in Guangnan for six years is a shortcut for them to get promoted quickly. As long as they are not stupid, they will make the right choice instead of just making money in Annan.

These officials headed to the borders of Guangxi and Yunnan, where mid- to low-level officials were waiting. They are all outstanding in political performance evaluations in various places, and they are promised to be promoted faster and receive high pensions even if they die of illness in Guangnan.

Before everyone left the Forbidden City, they started chatting on the way.

Zhang Jiayu asked: "Is this Cantonese dialect very different from Cantonese and Guangxi dialects? If you can't understand them, it may be difficult to govern and you must rely on local officials. The local officials are corrupt and the people are suffering from it and cannot speak out. I How can we find out when we are sitting in the Yamen?"

Sun Chuanting said: "When I went to Guangnan, my top priority was to learn to speak the local dialect, otherwise I would be deceived by the officials. When I was in Taiwan, I also learned the local dialect, so that I could deal with the indigenous people."

"That's true." Shi Kefa also served as an official in Taiwan.

Zhang Huangyan said: "The Guangnan government's airs may not be up for a while. Mainly Han officials in the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, who cannot control the people in villages and towns. Even if the local gentry rebels, it will probably cause a big fuss. , only a few of us will know.”

Zhang Jiayu said: "Colleagues, although His Majesty wants rapid land reform, we still have to adapt to local conditions and adjust measures to local conditions. Within one year, we must learn to speak the dialect, at least to understand it. In another year and a half, we will gradually straighten out the provincial government. Government offices at all levels in prefectures, counties, towns and villages.”

Why didn't you say anything just now?

Everyone was speechless.

Zhang Jiayu said awkwardly: "When I met with His Majesty, I was very ambitious. But now I was blown by the wind, and my mind became clearer again. The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. It's such a large piece of land, and I'm not familiar with the place, and the government orders can't be smoothed out. How can I do that?" Carry out land reform immediately? I will write a memorial when I get back, imploring Your Majesty to postpone the land reform in Guangnan for a year and a half."

Sun Chuanting said: "Before the land reform, people could be divided into acres. The gentry in Guangnan must be willing to obey the law, so there is every reason to implement land reform."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone said yes.

It’s not that we insist on carrying out land reform, it’s that you gentry actually don’t obey the policy of dividing a small family into an equal share.

Zhang Huangyan added: "When promoting land sharing, land rent quotas should also be set to prevent the gentry from passing taxes on to tenants. In this case, the gentry in Guangnan will definitely collude with the officials, and we will then clean up the local officials as well."

These people are all from the landlord class, and they know the gentry's urinal nature very well.

Sun Chuanting and Shi Kefa were both from the north, and their hometowns were beaten to pieces. They did not oppose the land reform policy, because even if Zhao Han did not divide their land, he only had to hand over the abandoned land to farmers for cultivation, and the gentry would not be able to recruit tenants for farming one by one.

Zhang Jiayu and Zhang Huangyan were from the south, and their family property was divided. What has been lost cannot be regained unless they rebel. Since you have been "tricked", then go and trick the Guangnan gentry. This way, you can have a much more psychological balance.

China's gentry landlords no longer expect Zhao Han to change their land policy.

Many people are worried about this, thinking of waiting for Zhao Han's death to trick the new emperor into opening up land transactions. At that time, with various resources, they will be able to slowly accumulate land and one day become big landowners again.

Over the years, countless people have been hoping that Zhao Han will die soon!

There are also people with long-term vision and flexible thinking who have begun to buy land in Luzon. If there are not enough tenants, the Luzon natives are recruited to farm. There is no need to cultivate intensively, just plant a large area with sugar cane.

Those who are looking forward to Zhao Han's death are about to take part in the provincial examination enthusiastically, hoping to squeeze in through the crack in the door and become an official in the court.

Zhao Han knew what they were thinking, and he also knew what he was targeting.

Anyway, I am still young, and if I play with them slowly, I might be able to survive them all.
