I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The strength far exceeds other vassals, which means that it can transfer damage.

People who are wronged in front of the strong can only vent on the weak. This is an international practice and a phenomenon that is common in the world.

The Satsuma domain suffered a loss from Dahua, and could completely rely on the weapons provided by Dahua, and then go to grab the territory, wealth and population of other domains to make up for its losses.

And as long as the heart is cruel enough, poisonous enough, and hot enough, maybe in addition to making up for the loss, there may be some profit.

Although Shimadzu Mitsuhisa may know that Dahua has no good intentions, he can't stand this temptation.

Koizumi Shinji thought about Qian Sule's request and kept sighing in his heart.

He felt that this might be Qian Sule's bottom line.

And this request, he felt that Shimadzu Mitsuhisa was still difficult to accept.

After all, Ibusuki is located at the exit of Kagoshima Bay, which can completely stop the boats entering and leaving Kagoshima Bay.

To cede Ibusuki is equivalent to handing over the sea trade line to Dahua.

If other foreigners want to do business with Satsuma Domain, I am afraid they have to look at Dahua's face, otherwise they can intercept their goods in minutes.

As for Qian Sule's statement that they are temporarily unable to mine so many gold mines, although it is true. However, this kind of gold mine will have some time to mine in the future.

As a force, it is impossible not to consider long-term development, not to think about digging out all the gold mines at one time, it must be saved a little, where would Dahua be needed for help?

Koizumi Shinji returned to the barracks with the results of the negotiation, and sure enough, Shimadzu turned over the table angrily.

Too much bullying, just too much bullying.

To cede land and open up gold mining rights, is this something that people do?

If this is true, is Satsuma Domain's own or Dahua's?

After venting, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa sat on the ground decadently. He didn't have the courage to make up his mind to fight Dahua to the death.

"Procrastinate first to see if anyone comes to help us. If not, we can only agree."

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa sighed.

The Dahua Daily reported that the Dahua Expeditionary Force captured Tanegashima and successfully landed on Kagoshima.

When these news attracted the attention of the people, the land reform, which was more important to Dahua and had a greater impact, began.

After a period of study and consultation, the Cabinet and the Land Reform Commission reached a final plan.

The next step is to send people to all parts of the country to implement it.

The first place to hit is naturally around Nanjing.

In Hexi Village, Li Yao and a few staff members were carrying out land surveys with the land register in their hands.

Some landowners have only one hundred or tens of acres of land on the roster, but in fact, there are at least one or two percent more, or even more than twice as much.

Not the most exaggerated, only more exaggerated, God knows how much less tax these people paid, and how much financial loss it caused to the court.

Otherwise, an ordinary landlord's family, relying on selling food every year, how could it be possible to save tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of silver in the cellar.

People can't be rich without windfalls, and horses can't get fat, and if they don't do illegal things, how can wealth be accumulated so easily.

Even those big factories in Nanjing have advanced technology, and when making money, they must do some illegal things.

For example, wages are deducted, workers are injured without compensation, and tax evasion is another example.

In rural areas where the central government's management is weak, there are more illegal things.

Different dynasties and generations, often just looking at the tax rate set by the court, it seems that it is not high, but the people below are still in dire straits.

This is actually quite understandable. If the rulers in the central court have a good life, so should the local officials.

The imperial court asked for one tax of ten, but the local government dared to charge two of ten.

In addition to officials who want to live a good life, so do landlords.

If the government dares to charge them ten taxes and two, they can charge the people ten taxes and three.

Layers of exploitation will eventually be superimposed on the exploited class.

Farmers, tenants, artisans, etc.

"Have the investigation been clear, do you know which places belong to Qin Haoyuan?"

Li Yao asked a man beside him who had broken his left hand. This was a disabled soldier who was assigned to the village to be the sheriff.

On the surface, it is to maintain law and order, but in fact there is a lot to do.

For example, it is now cooperating with the land reform of the imperial court.

It is not easy for the people who came down from the center to know that the land is the landlord. The local people are quite afraid of the landlord, and they may not dare to report it.

For fear that if these officials leave, they will be retaliated by the landlords.

Moreover, the officials of this era are actually very unbelievable in the people's hearts. God knows if they are in the same group as the landlords, and then they come up with a so-called reform to carry out fishing law enforcement.

If you really believe it and report it, revealing your dissatisfaction with the landlord, and being caught by the landlord, then this level will be sad.

Not sure, the original few acres of land will be donated to avoid disasters, from a self-cultivation farmer to a tenant farmer.

It is more difficult to expect people to cooperate.

At times like this, those retired soldiers come into play.

They have been in the countryside for a long time, and they must know more about local things, and it is easy to investigate.

And people like them who have fought on the battlefield are naturally not afraid of a landlord.

If they were wronged and bullied, the army would give them a head start.

"Basically, everything has been figured out. For example, the piece in front of us is not on the roster. Because at the time of registration, this piece of land hadn't been reclaimed yet, and after it was reclaimed, I don't know what method Qin Hao used to avoid being reclaimed. registered."

Xue Hu pointed to a paddy field in front of him, which seemed to have about five or six acres.

"Measure and register first, and then go and have a good talk with our landlord Qin."

Li Yao sneered.

The above regulations do not allow forcible plunder, but there is a premise that the landlord does not violate the law and commits any crime, and will actively cooperate.

If something is committed, then there will be variables, depending on the specific land reform members.

Some are more relaxed, and they are too lazy to care.

If some are more severe, then you can take advantage of the topic and punish the landlord severely, or confiscate his land and property.

Then there is the fact that the landlord sent a sum of money to the person in charge of land reform, and then escaped.

Or give a large sum of money to the person in charge of the land reform, and use this land reform to trick the common people again.

In short, Dahua is really too big, don't be surprised no matter what happens on this land.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

Just as they were about to measure, a few people with airiness came over with wooden sticks.

Looking at these people, Li Yao sneered in his heart.

It should come, it will always come.
