Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 315 Let me know about the production and military system?
The backward situation in Guangxi made Chen Yunfu helpless for three consecutive days after he arrived. He also found that he couldn't think of a good way to stay trapped in the government office, so he simply took Lu Yiran, Yang Shiqi and others out of Guilin City and started wander around.

Looking at a large piece of deserted and uncultivated fields, Chen Yunfu's brows that were already tightly frowned became even more furrowed.

"Is no one farming?"

Lu Yiran shook his head, and also sighed: "There are only about one million people in Guangxi Province, and most of them live in different places. Therefore, although Guilin is a city, the outside of the city is still barren."

"On the fish scale book, the existing cultivated land in Guangxi is less than 700 million mu, and most of them are barren mountain fields, so this has caused Guangxi's taxes in recent years to be low and barren, which further limits the development of Guangxi. The government cannot supplement Manpower, good policy cannot be implemented without manpower, and a closed loop of vicious circle is thus formed."

Chen Yunfu walked on the wasteland with his hands behind his back, sighing as he walked.

It's no wonder that Lu Yiran has been unable to produce results for a long time. The current situation in Guangxi is indeed very bad.

"In Guangxi, the number of our Han people is less than half, and the differences in language and customs also limit the actions of the government. Among other things, the transmission and interpretation of a single government order consumes a lot of energy and time. "

Hearing that Lu Yiran started complaining again, Chen Yunfu quickly raised his hand.

"Stop, stop, don't complain to Benfu every chance you have. Don't you know why there are so many objective reasons?"

"Yes." Lu Yiran nodded awkwardly, and quickly kept silent.

Chen Yunfu stood there for a long time, and suddenly said: "Let the commander of the Guangxi capital, Fan Yong, come to see Benfu."

Yang Shiqi quickly responded, and called a Jinwu guard to explain.

Soon the horseshoes roared away, and within two quarters of an hour, Fan Yong, the commander of the Guangxi capital, rushed out of the city of Guilin, whipped the horse and rushed to Chen Yunfu and his party, got off the horse, clasped his fists and bowed his waist.

"Fan Yong, the last general, see the young master Jin An."

"General Fan is here, please come here quickly."

Chen Yunfu beckoned to Fan Yong, and the latter quickly ran up to him, bowing his head solemnly: "What's your order, Master?"

"Don't be so nervous." Chen Yunfu smiled at Fan Yong, indicating that it's not a big deal for him to find the latter, and just casually said: "Now, how many guards are there in the Guangxi capital?"

Fan Yong thought for a while, and then said: "Not many, there are only seven guards, more than 3 people, and 21 mu of arable land."

With 140 million civilians and more than 3 military guards, the ratio is more than 40 to one, which is barely a normal level.

Chen Yunfu nodded and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He seems to have thought of how to deal with the Guangxi problem.

The problem in Guangxi now is that there are few people. Because there are few people, a large amount of land is uncultivated, that is, land without owners.

In other words, there will be no resistance to carrying out land reform policies in Guangxi that are different from other provinces.

Just a blank piece of paper, you can draw anything you want.

Produce the Jiajun system!
This was really a flash of inspiration, and Chen Yunfu didn't know why this idea suddenly popped up in his mind, but as soon as this idea was born, Chen Yunfu felt an uncontrollable excitement and excitement.

Guangxi is currently the only province in the country that can realize the reform of land nationalization, because the land in Guangxi has no owner.

After promoting the land nationalization reform, the current situation in Guangxi is completely in line with the system of production and military settlements, and the two have reached an astonishing degree of fit between history and actual production.

What's more, the system of production and military settlements was originally an evolution of the ancient military reclamation system, and the only difference lies in the nature of the ownership of the land.

Whether it is private land or state-owned land, as long as you understand this point, it will be easy to deal with.

And the current situation in Guangxi is similar to this. The level of productivity is low, the production methods are backward, and the development is stagnant. If it is backward, it means that there is no fully mature social production system, which is convenient for the imperial court to directly implement major policies and carry out major reforms .

If it is like Zhili and Zhejiang, it is not easy to implement any land policy.

Moreover, Chen Yunfu has a bolder idea, which is to combine the Guangxi capital and Guangxi tax department into one!

The Guangxi Metropolitan Division will fully take over the production tasks and tax collection tasks in Guangxi.

Production, construction, taxation through train.

If the Guangxi capital is not sure, it can be split into two institutions, namely the Guangxi Production Army Tun Yamen and the Guangxi Corps Tax Inspection Department?
Perhaps in this way, it may affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the capital of Guangxi, but.

Does that matter?

Totally unimportant!
The defense of Guangxi, or the defense of the imperial court, will inevitably be dominated by professional troops in the future, and it is impossible to rely on local military guards to fight.

Now it is the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the soldiers of the local army station guards are all retired veterans to bring the next generation, so their combat effectiveness is amazing. However, everyone knows how the local army station guards are fighting in the late Ming Dynasty.

So, does it matter?

As long as the court has money and food, with the size of the Ming Dynasty, there is no pressure to maintain a regular professional army of 120 to [-] million. With this number, you can ask God if you are afraid.

At this point, Chen Yunfu said to Fan Yong: "General Fan, you can learn more about the taxation of Guilin and Guangxi during this time, such as salt taxation, iron taxation, etc., to see how they are done, including mining excavation. From smelting iron to finished products.

Also, organize more smart young military households who can read and write, and let Lu Fantai arrange people to teach more about the court's current tax law policy.

At that time, the integration of the two volumes and the reform of the tax law will probably be carried out by the Guangxi Metropolitan Government. "

Fan Yong blinked in surprise.

Doesn't the capital belong to the army? Why did Chen Yunfu let him intervene in government affairs?

This is not a blatant mistake.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry."

Chen Yunfu patted Fan Yong's shoulder, and said with relief: "How to do it, I haven't drawn up the regulations yet, after I return to Beijing, I will naturally report to His Majesty, and you will receive the imperial edict at that time Follow the detailed instructions from the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armed Forces and the Cabinet, just follow the instructions."

"Yes, the last general is in command."

Fan Yong also understood why he had to think about things that he didn't understand. He was just a soldier, and he was just a veteran with the status of a general.

Lu Yiran, who was standing beside him, thought the same way, anyway, he would obey orders as Chen Yunfu arranged them.

If he really wants to change the status quo in Guangxi, then he, the left minister of Guangxi, can be regarded as following behind to take credit.

What is this called? This is called leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Having Chen Yunfu come to worry about Guangxi's development for him will save trouble.

He is happy and at ease.
