Deng Ming hoped to send a large number of gentry children to Sichuan for military training. In his opinion, this would be of great benefit to Jiaodong's continued strengthening its military strength.

"The gentry in Jiaodong is rich and food, and can bear the tuition of their children. Moreover, it is easier for me to turn them into imperialists when I arrive in Sichuan." Deng Ming's wishful thinking has been fighting in his mind for a long time. These gentry's children are not only assimilated in their way of thinking, but also feel the strength of the imperial army because of training in the Sichuan army, and they develop the fear of the imperial army.

However, although Deng Ming had a good plan, the Qing Dynasty's House of Representatives was unwilling to send students to Sichuan. They knew that the Sichuan Army was very powerful, but first of all, they did not think that Deng Ming would give them all, and secondly, they were worried that their children would be used as cannon fodder. These gentry could not understand why long-term and professional training was needed to reincarnate the Jiaodong Army, and their military organization did not require such extensive military training.

The military structure of the gentry army is based on their personal relationships in the countryside. It is stable to a rigid point. It is impossible for tenants to serve as officers, and scholars must obey the command of elders of juren. Now the combat effectiveness of this army has satisfied the gentry House. They do not feel the need to further improve, nor will they select outstanding personnel from the tenants to receive officer training. They are the soldiers of the Qing army who Deng Ming thought have a promising future. They also look forward to the daughter-in-law and fertile land promised by their bosses and clans to their wives, fertile land and higher status within the tribe.

For those gentry children, it is a side job to serve as military officers. When the family is in danger, they have to lead the tenants to protect the farm. In essence, it is the same as they lead the troops to fight and protect the fort from the robbers. Their positions come from their background rather than military talents. They do not need to receive any military training and are bound to be officers. And even if they have military talents, the neighbors' tenants will not be given to him. If there is a military recruitment or a truce, these gentry children still have to study. For thousands of years, their status in their hometowns and clans has been improved by the imperial examination rather than military training. Although it is a chaotic world, everyone thinks that if you want to make a name for yourself, you will eventually have to be an imperial examination. It is better to study hard if you have time to learn to lead the army.

At this time, many merchants from western Sichuan had already arrived in Shandong. Deng Ming was useless in the morning and failed to persuade the Qing Dynasty to send gentry children to Sichuan. During the lunch break, Deng Ming chatted with the Western Sichuanese who came to inspect the market and asked them what good ideas were.

"The Duke of the State does not intend to abolish the imperial examinations in Shandong," Lu Huan came to Shandong this time as a representative of the Salt Merchants Group. After a few years of running back and forth along the Yangtze River, close cooperation with the imperial army and training in the imperial parliament, these merchants in western Sichuan have become the most experienced group of Chinese people in this era: "Our Sichuan gentry obtained through military merits, so a large number of people participated in military training, and sooner or later the imperial examinations are still here, right?"

Now Sichuan’s military training is being paid more and more attention, even Chen Zuocai’s academy is becoming more and more serious about the compilation of military textbooks, because the army is an important channel for improving social status.

"Yes." Deng Ming sighed. Although there is no imperial examination in Jiaodong now, as long as they do not let the Qing officials come in to rule for one day, they will not be able to participate in the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty. However, Deng Ming did not have the courage to publicly announce the abolition of the imperial examination in Shandong. Even in Sichuan, Wen'anzhi, Zhang Huangyan and others did not think that Deng Ming would abolish the imperial examination. It was just that because the original gentry class in Sichuan was completely destroyed, Deng Ming reshaped this class with military merit as the standard. When the world is stable, these people who rely on military merit to become gentry will still let their children study, and they will naturally return to normal at that time. Wen'anzhi and his friends basically understood Deng Ming's policies, and Deng Ming did not dare to correct their views.

...

The next issue was the ban on the sea, the 20-mile unmanned land along the coast of Jiaodong Peninsula, the Shanghai trade and fishery industry, and Deng Ming planned to allocate it to the group of gentry who supported him the most.

"The emperor strictly enforced the ban on the sea because he was worried that pirates would harass the people and plunder goodness..." Xia Jie made a generous speech at the conference. He and a group of gentry in Weixian and Deng Ming were the earliest alliances. Now, when he was rewarded with merits, of course, they should not be forgotten. When Zu Zepu moved to the ban on the sea, he talked about the misunderstanding that Xia Jie was repeating now. Because pirates were coming to the coastal areas to kill people, the Qing army had to take the lead in killing all the living people in this area, leaving no one to kill: "The pirates twenty miles along the coast are no longer available to kill, but what if they want to penetrate deeper into the mainland? For example, thirty miles? Should we prevent pirates from killing people thirty miles away from the sea, we need to move away or kill all the people within thirty miles?"

The move to the territory also had an impact on the gentry, and it also gave clerks the opportunity to extort them. According to the logic of the Qing court and Zu Zepu, if Deng Ming was stronger, then the scope of the ban on the sea was completely reasonable to further expand.

"Since the Ming Dynasty's Baoguo Duke sat here today, it means that simply moving the territory is completely impossible to stop the pirates from entering the inland Jiaodong." Xia Jie not only defined Deng Ming as a pirate, but also solicited his opinions: "Admiral Deng, do you think the pirates will land in Shandong?"

"From the perspective of the admiral of the Qing Dynasty's military, there is no problem with the words of Councillor Xia. The Ming army's attack on Shandong is imminent!" Deng Ming stood up and looked around the chamber and answered in a calm and powerful voice. When Xia Jie presented evidence, Deng Ming's identity was Duke Baoguo of the Ming Dynasty, and the object of his question was the commander of the Army of the Qing Dynasty. Many schizophrenia present knew this, so Deng Ming naturally would not make any mistake. He testified to Councillor Xia Jie as the highest commander of the Army of Jiaodong: "The ban on seas really cannot prevent the landing of the Ming army."

"So we have to establish military camps in the forbidden sea area to prevent stealing outside the country." If a gentry moved to the forbidden sea area, he might not be willing to take risks. After all, the Qing army might come, and abandoning the land and clans in his hometown did not meet the wishes of the gentry. For example, the group of Xia Juren in Weixian would never sell their property to the beach.

Therefore, Deng Ming helped Xia Jie and others design a coastal investment company, and organized Yu Qi's refugees to reclaim wastelands and operate trade and fishery in the coastal areas under the name of Jun Tun. The gentry who invested in sent shopkeepers to run business, and the profits at that time were distributed by the shareholders' meeting. The land reclaimed from the coastal areas, the renovation of docks, roads, the manufactured merchant ships, and the fishing boats all belong to these companies, and the profits belong to the gentry who contributed the money.

The title is military camp. With this title, it is impossible for any single refugee to reclaim a piece of land of his own in the coastal areas, because in theory it is still a forbidden sea area. Only military camps (companies) controlled by the gentry of the Qing Dynasty have the right to operate on that land.

Therefore, the proposal of Xia Juren has received a large number of supporters, but there are also people who have opposed it. Some members of the parliamentary industry are not far from the forbidden sea area. They do not want these outsiders to enter the coastal area in groups, and this time their desire to dominate the unowned land is dashed. Without the competition from the mainland gentry, the gentry in the border area will also have the opportunity to turn all refugees into their own tenants - because of the lack of competitors.

However, their hopes are destined to be disappointed, because this proposal is in line with Deng Ming's wishes, and the development of the forbidden sea area will help the Ming army's future landing action. Deng Ming is unwilling to let development work monopolize in the hands of a few people. The more fierce the competition, the higher the development efficiency will be. Deng Ming also knows that the gentry in the border area will definitely pay more attention to agriculture, because they hope to connect the land they entered with their original fields. And gentry in Weixian like Xia Jie will definitely pay more attention to fishery, trade and shipbuilding, which can make money faster. Even if land is reclaimed, they will pay more attention to economic crops - they are expected to use profits to purchase land in their hometowns, and no matter how much farmland there is in the forbidden sea area, it will be meaningless to them.

However, the two sides still had a dispute for a while, because there were still many gentry who did not live next to the forbidden sea area and did not intend to participate in investment, so it was no different for them to establish a forbidden sea garrison.

"What if the military camp dividends are given to the House of Commons?" Although the number of people is superior, it cannot exceed half. Xia Jie, the soul figure of the military camp, suddenly proposed to pay taxes in desperation. The Qing Parliament established a rule to refund taxes from the beginning, that is, the surplus after annual taxes are dispossessed by military expenses, water control and other expenses, and the surplus cannot be paid to the clerks or to repair the yamen for officials, but to refund to the taxpayers according to the tax ratio - that is, the gentry and heroes in the House of Commons. This rule was of course passed unanimously.

If the military camp dividends are given to the House of Commons, it naturally means that there is more tax balance, which means that everyone here can pay less taxes. However, since the military camp is not sure that it will make money, the rule set is dividends rather than fixed taxes.

After an afternoon of quarrel, Xia Jie's proposal was supported by most of the original neutral factions, and formulated a policy on nationalization of land and oceans in coastal areas - all productions are subject to taxation, and even fishing without permission, they violate the ban on sea ban. If they are caught, they will be punished with silver (not beheading).

"All the king's land is the king's land. Of course, the output of the emperor's land should be used to help the emperor raise soldiers." Xia Jie said righteously. Adhering to the nationalization of land blocked the possibility of land enclosure of coastal gentry and gave the mainland gentry more profit space; Xia Jie's speech aroused a large number of applause and cheers, which were all issued by the loyal ministers and filial sons of the Qing Dynasty who lived in the mainland.

Deng Ming felt that he was also open-minded. This parliament was completely controlled by feudal landlords and urban gang leaders. According to class analysis, it should be a stubborn reactionary fortress of extreme right. Unexpectedly, it would propose a bill such as the nationalization of land with a left-wing worldview. Is this the so-called extreme of things to reverse? The extreme right forces are indeed both stupid and evil, and they are willing to be gravediggers of their class for a little profit.

The only remaining question is whether it is safe to operate these transactions. Deng Ming needs to guarantee this. As long as he promises fair transactions and does not rob the Jiaodong coast, these military camps (companies) will definitely have a bright future.

"Admiral Deng, do you think the pirates will land in Shandong?" This is the second time Xia Jie raised this question today, and there is no change in a word.

"From the perspective of the admiral of the Fuqing Army's destruction of Ming army-" Deng Ming stood up again and looked around the audience. The Qing congressmen all looked at him intently, waiting for Deng Ming's assurance: "There is no possibility of landing in Shandong by the Ming army."

"If I were the commander of the Ming army," the commander of the Ming army, Baoguo made an assumption: "I would never choose to land in Jiaodong, and there would be no war here."

"Thank you Admiral Deng for your answer." Xia Jie and the congressmen present all smiled satisfied. As he continued to speak, Xia Jie further emphasized his tone: "What else do you have to worry about? Admiral Deng personally assured us that the Ming army would never appear in Jiaodong."

The first Jiaodong Fuqing Parliament ended successfully.
