Chapter 894: All the best

The implementation of the Holy Law was not so smooth, and there were still chaos in various places, especially in some remote places, where some gentry incited villagers to cause trouble, which was repeatedly banned.

Fortunately, Hao Fenglou had absolute force at this time, which was quite similar to the Meiji Restoration at that time. During the Meiji Restoration, in order to use agriculture to feed back the industry and to attack landlords, heavy taxes were imposed. Even when many people had dozens of acres of land at home, they still couldn't eat. Therefore, the Meiji government at that time caused hundreds of rebellions in several years. The Japanese way at that time was to collect heavy taxes, establish industrial and industrial production arms, expand the scale of the army, and the army used absolute force to suppress civil unrest, eliminating all hidden dangers invisibly.

In this regard, the situation of the Hao family is obviously much better than that of the Japanese. Lang Son's industrial and commercial capital has taken shape and a large amount of wealth has been accumulated, so agriculture does not need to feed back the industry and commerce. Therefore, public grievances are mainly at the gentry class. On the contrary, ordinary farmers benefit from the sharp drop in land prices.

Originally, not long ago, ordinary farmers did not belong to the category of "people". This person was at least an official person. For example, if the local officials stepped down and the gentry gave the people umbrella. This people did not include ordinary farmers. This people were limited to scholars and gentry. For example, if an official evaluated, like loving the people like his son, the people he loved would never be ordinary people, but gentry.

In fact, the truth is that gentry and scholars grasp public opinion, control countless resources, and then influence public opinion through various means. As for the "people" who face the loess and the sky, they are just ignorant, but they are just troublemakers and sloppy people. No one will pay attention to them, and no one is interested in their needs. What's more sad is that these people have no demands at all, because they are all "fool people". A person who has never walked out of dozens of miles in his life, and a person who cannot read a big word, can only God know how much their vision can have.

What Hao Fenglou did was to use the people to control the people, use the "fools" of the past to open up their people's wisdom, so that they can at least read and write, understand newspapers, and have some understanding of the outside world, understand their own demands, and then let them begin to understand what commerce and industry and commerce are. Let them know how vast the world is. Gradually, in this illusion of taking themselves as masters, they gradually stopped looking up at the gentry and looking at the world. And they knew that you gentry were nothing great, only in this way could these people become their own natural allies.

And the dissatisfaction and resistance of the gentry was a resolute blow. On July 13, Dongping's "Minister Rebellion". The First Battalion of the Third Battalion of the Shenji Guard of Langshan Army was suppressed and killed 16 people. On July 19, the civil rebellion in Luzhou and the new army in Yunnan suppressed and killed 79 people. The leader abandoned the corpses, and the family members were all sent to Chongming as slaves. On August 12, a more massive civil rebellion occurred in Jiadingzhou. A gentry incited the people to occupy the county town. Mu Sheng personally led the army to siege the city for three days. On the fourth day, the thief chief surrendered and killed 932 thieves.

This almost iron-fisted method made people feel disappointed. Hao Fenglou even proudly claimed in the newspaper that anyone who disobeys must slaughter them all, and even if they are killed in vain, it is not worth cherishing; those who have resentment should also punish their hearts and eliminate all evil things and never indulge them. Resistance to one person will bring disaster to a clan. If you dare to spread rumors and cause trouble and discuss the holy law, you must also kill the roots.

So suddenly, the entire Chengdu Prefecture and even Sichuan became honest. Some people obviously had to deal with it. The reason why these gentry dared to make trouble was that in the past was that the government could not do anything to them. Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty treated them preferentially, they jumped up and down, and they all cursed the court and enjoyed insulting officials every day. As a result, when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, these grandsons knew that the new masters were not easy to provoke, so they became slaves and praised the emperor's wise every day. Therefore, anyone who treats them good will often become an unforgivable existence in the hands of these guys. They curse themselves in different ways every day, and even claim to be honest. As a result, when they meet an evil person, they pull them out and kill a group of people, making them want to be slaves but cannot be obtained. The evil person became a saint, a virtuous emperor who has achieved literary and military virtues, and pursues Yao and Shun.

This is the most dirty person in the world.

As expected, in the coming year, after several blows, these people finally calmed down, and various praises to Hao Fenglou finally appeared. After being tossed by Hao Fenglou, they finally realized the greatness. The land was sold and the money in their hands was silver, but they heard that the money in their hands became more and more valuable under inflation. So they were shocked. Some went to buy bonds, and some also learned to do business. So they transformed one by one, like Chen Xue’s guardian priests. Of course, there was no need to detail this matter. Hao Fenglou, the "wise king", began to work hard on farming in the beginning of the next spring.

Sichuan is a major agricultural province. Although the Hao family imports a large amount of grain from the West every year, self-sufficiency agriculture still must be guaranteed. Moreover, since the implementation of the Holy Law, many people have raised doubts that grain production will definitely decline, and even some great scholars of Chen Xue of Lang Son are also questioning. This is actually easy to understand. Food is the foundation of people in the world. No matter how industry and commerce develop, if there is insufficient grain production, people are hungry and famine, then what is the use of gold and silver in front of you?

Therefore, Hao Fenglou was very concerned about this matter. He had put into production of several iron workshops in Chengdu several months ago. He did not make weapons, but specialized in agricultural tools. In addition to shovels and hoes, there were iron plows and rakes, etc. On the other hand, during the winter, Hao Fenglou called all the chiefs of the chiefs of the founding city to hold a meeting. Thousand chiefs of the chiefs of the chiefs of the founding city then organized manpower according to Hao Fenglou's intentions, digging ditches and irrigation. These actions. Therefore, as soon as the spring came, Hao Fenglou ordered the chiefs of the chiefs of the district to organize their children.
