It is already late autumn at the time of Zhenjiang Jinshan Cishou Pagoda in Dantu County. The ruthless autumn wind blows by, and yellow leaves fall in the mountains. The exquisite and beautiful Cishou Pagoda stands on the top of the northwest mountain of Jinshan. It is 30 meters high, and it cooperates with the entire Jinshan and Jinshan Temple just right, as if it has raised the mountain.

"There are layers of stones on several floors, and the windows on all four walls are open and the wind is covered with wind. Suddenly, birds fly on the flat ground and startled in mid-air." On the Cishou Tower, beside the railing, a beautiful woman wrapped in yellow turbans and wearing a round neckline and red robe chanted softly. This poem was written by Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty.

A rude man next to the woman grinned and said, "You are playing literary style again."

The woman turned around and stared at the man fiercely, and said lightly: "Don't think about entering the house tonight!"

The man's smile froze and he quickly called out, "I'm jealous of your literary talent, Yun'er, it's so cold tonight, it's very cold to sleep in the camp." The beautiful woman was the Queen of the Western King of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, while the rough and powerful man was the King of Western King Xiao Yungui.

The tower was cold, Hong Yun'er couldn't help but shrink her shoulders, and snorted and turned her head to ignore him. Xiao Yungui immediately took off his scarlet cloak and put it on her, and said, "Yun'er, don't interfere. It's cold, it's time for them to sleep together to warm up."

Hong Yuner's pretty face turned slightly red, but after she put on the cloak, her body and heart were warm, and her heart softened again. She spat: "I haven't been serious all day, just think about that."

Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "I only said I would sleep together, but I didn't say anything else."

Hong Yun'er pressed the handle of the mandarin duck knife on her waist and said angrily: "You're itchy, right?"

Xiao Yungui was shocked. The couple had a good martial arts skills, and even Xiao Yungui's body was better than Hong Yun'er. However, since conquering Nanjing, Xiao Yungui found that his skills seemed to have gradually deteriorated, but Hong Yun'er's skills were getting better and better. This little girl must have practiced martial arts frequently, and her consciousness and body were more perfectly integrated. After she had too much work, she became a little lazy and was not as diligent as before in practicing martial arts, so she gradually became no match for Hong Yun'er.

The two of them fought several times in the closed door, but Hong Yuner was the best. Thinking of this, Xiao Yungui gritted his teeth and said in his stomach: "Little nymph, I'm good at relying on my skills to be better than me. I must practice martial arts diligently and catch up to you to know how powerful I am."

He thought so in his heart, but he smiled and said, "My wife is mighty, so young she dare not act rashly."

Seeing his stupid look, Hong Yuner couldn't help laughing out loud. Xiao Yungui also laughed dryly. Since the couple got married, their relationship has become more stable. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a bond.

After laughing for a while, Hong Yuner stopped smiling and said seriously: "I don't know how it's going on in Xiamen."

As soon as he talked about the serious matter, Xiao Yungui immediately became serious. He held the railing on the tower and said, "I believe that Li Xiucheng and the others can do this, let alone the help of the newly joined pirates? You know the victory of the Ningbo Naval Battle. The pirates in Zhoushan were defeated, and the Qing army navy could not resist our huge fleet. What else are you worried about?"

Hong Yuner nodded and smiled, "That's right, but after rescuing the person this time, it will cost a lot of money to resettle him."

Xiao Yungui touched his bare chin and said, "I have seen the accounts and expenditures of the Xidian Holy Custody in the past few months. It really cost money. However, I captured Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Shaoxing, Ningbo and other places, and collected no less than five million taels of money and grain from the official warehouse. The corrupt officials and rich mankind also collected a lot of money and grain from the homes of the rich mankind, which was enough to support it. Before leaving Shanghai, I handed over a batch of jewelry and jade from Wu Sangui's treasure to Wang Kaiyun, so that he could hold an auction at the right time. Those jewelry and jade were not gold and silver, and it was useless to keep them. It would be better to auction them to foreigners or rich people for gold, silver, money and grain."

Hong Yuner curled her lips and said, "Those jewelry and jade are exquisitely crafted, and they are all cultural relics."

Xiao Yungui also curled his lips and said, "In the later generations, we are both cultural relics, but now those jewelry and jade are dead objects. Besides, real cultural relics must have cultural heritage. I asked Xuan Ji to pick out some of the origins. I didn't buy any precious antiques of calligraphy and painting. I also left a batch of jewelry and jade to offer to the big guys in Tianjing. From the Heavenly King, the East King to the Yan King, Chen Chengwang and others, they all have one, and I thought they would not make things too difficult for us."

Hong Yuner sighed and said, "We don't know if this trip back to Tianjing is going well. If you ask Zuo Zongtang, Wang Kaiyun, Li Shourong and others to register and organize household registration, land, and merchant information in various places, I always feel that the governance method is too slow."

Xiao Yungui shook his head and said, "We occupy southern Jiangsu. If we want to better govern, we must clearly count the basic information of population, land, merchants, etc. Although the statistical methods of this era are very primitive and there may be mistakes and omissions, I must figure out how many families I have. Only after a rough data can we have the right direction for our governance. The slogan we have is to equalize the fields. Do you know how many farmers there are in southern Jiangsu? Do you know how much arable land there is? If there are too many people, equal the fields.

This cannot be done. What if it is replaced by a policy of reducing rent and interest rates? Do you know what the current rent interest in southern Jiangsu is? There are different places, how much is appropriate? Can you tell me clearly? It is even more necessary to count merchants. I need to understand the current situation of industrial and commercial situation in southern Jiangsu and the development of various industries. The most direct thing is what industry makes money and what industry is in a recession, so that we can formulate targeted policies. I don’t want to issue government orders without conducting investigations and research, and I will only lose my ground at that time.”

Hong Yuner said with an oh, "Maybe I'm too anxious. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Suzhou Township Official Selection System last month, the enthusiasm of various places is very high. The villages and villages select township officials to control the place. You announced that southern Jiangsu has exempted money, grain and taxes this year, and has been supported by the poor people. We have protected middle peasants, rich peasants and some wealthy families who support us, so that they can still collect land rent according to the original rent interest. Although the people still have to pay rent, the burden will be lighter without the part of the money and grain handed over to the government. But I always feel that our doing so is different from the government orders in Tianjin, and it will inevitably be criticized."

Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "Yun'er, after the capital of Tianjing, you know what it is, and what is not enough for grain, but the fields of the people are all the fields of the king. The rice grains obtained every year are collected by the king. The rice grains obtained in the world are given to the king. Every month, one lemon of rice is given to the king, and a small lemon is reduced by half as a small lemon, as a health care asset. The profit of the shops and the business is all the basic interests of the king, and the people are not allowed to use it. In short, Tianjing made an egalitarian big pot rice. Farmers cannot farm and receive taxes, but they say that the fields are all the fields of the king; merchants cannot obtain interest from themselves, but they say that goods are all the goods of the king. The things planted in the capital of the capital must be handed over to the holy warehouse, and the things traded by merchants are all the goods of the holy warehouse.

Everything you need can be collected in the Holy Curtain according to the system. This seemingly good distribution system cannot be implemented for a long time. Didn’t Taizu also do a commune big pot rice in later generations? What’s the effect? ​​You should know that people are lazy, and they do the same thing as if they are good or bad. Anyway, everything has to be handed over to the public. Without any private property, the enthusiasm for production will be severely frustrated. Later, the Holy Curtain of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not afford such a large population. When Shi Dakai presided over Jiangxi, he changed back to the system and model of the Qing Dynasty, which led to the prosperity of Shi Dakai’s governance of Jiangxi. Do you think we can take this path that we know is wrong?"

Hong Yuner shook her head and said, "I don't mean that. I mean that we can first nationalize all the land. We protect our private property. We have the same viewpoint."

Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "It is easy to say that land is taken back to the country. In addition to the overthrown corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry's fields, the middle-aged and rich peasants also have a large amount of land in their hands. The Qing Dynasty recognized their possession of the land. Could it be that after our Taiping Army came, the land of these middle-aged and rich peasants was taken back? These lands were accumulated by generations of people, and they were not obtained by corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry's methods of robbing. We should protect them. Otherwise, the middle-aged and rich peasants, and some wealthy families who were originally inclined to us would be pushed to the Qing Dynasty."

Hong Yuner also frowned and said, "Then how do you plan to solve the land problem? If this problem is not solved well, the contradiction will always exist."

Xiao Yungui said slowly: "I have several plans in my mind. These plans must be implemented at the same time to solve the problem. First, it is to reduce rent and interest rates, and first reduce farmers' burdens. This requires that our local township official system and local group training system be fully established, and the government's tentacles can be fully extended to the local area to implement them well. Don't make it the rent and interest rate reduction in the Republic of China. It will only thunder and rain. The second is to develop industry and commerce, which is why I have to do so many large projects and large factories, so that the excess population will be transformed from farmers to workers, and in disguisely alleviate the contradiction between land and population. The third is to encourage the reclaiming of wasteland, but the fish and rice town in southern Jiangsu is almost the same. In the future, we will conquer Beijing and get out of the customs. The Qing Dynasty still dominates a large area of ​​fertile black soil outside the customs. There are also

Many people can be resettled. The fourth is that the government redeems the land and then rents it back to the people. We can use the government to redeem part of the land to share it with the people. This method is much milder than directly confiscating it. The wealthy households who get money can transform into more bourgeoisie. They will use money to open factories and start businesses, and thus prosper industry and commerce. The fifth is to distribute the uninvested land of corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry who were defeated by us to the people. I believe that my five-pronged approach will always solve the problem. But I need to know a detailed account in southern Jiangsu, which is how many people, how many arable land, how many poor peasants, middle peasants, rich peasants, rich households, businessmen, and how the population structure is. In short, it is impossible to study without investigation, and it is impossible to solve the problem."

Hong Yuner said with a nod, "Then our trip to Tianjing will also obtain the consent of the Heavenly King and the East King to our implementation of the new policy in southern Jiangsu, so that we can just let go of our hands and feet."

Xiao Yungui nodded and looked at the vast Yangtze River waterway: "Yes, this is the main purpose of our return to Tianjing. Although we have not implemented the government orders in Tianjing, we need to convince the big men in Tianjing to give us privileges. Now is not the time to turn against Tianjing, it is not the time..." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
