After years of training in Chenlong, those refugees and talents selected from the South China Chinese have already taken responsibility. They handle government affairs more smoothly than those officials who only know how to deal with it.

In the local area, the unbreakable boundaries between officials were broken, and the officials who were familiar with the local situation were given a channel for improvement. At the same time, the slick and corrupt people among the officials were cleared. With such kindness and power, all the officials and forces in the local area had belonged to the Xin Dynasty.

As for the most troublesome local officials in the feudal period, the problem of powerful power was much easier to deal with than that of the Qing court. At least these people have not had time to establish a relationship with the Xin Dynasty, so they could not find a high-ranking official to support them. In the face of the Xin Dynasty's work such as land and tax collection, they could only try to incite the people to oppose it.

Unfortunately, Chen Long's rural work experience is very rich and he has been training in this area for a long time. The strict internal system prevents local officials from accepting bribes from local tyrants, including those who have experienced professional training. In addition, the officials who surrendered to the new dynasty and the newly built police force quickly resolved the counterattack of local tyrants.

The overworked Mingxing Zhengdian directly distributed their land to the local people. After several powerful people who had lasted for hundreds of years were uprooted, the entire Jiangnan saw the ability and determination of the New Dynasty. Although those scholars still privately rumored that the New Dynasty did not know how to win over the scholars and officials was not a long-term way, at least now, few people dared to object explicitly.

After obtaining the land to support themselves, the people of Jiangnan's desire to join the army gradually increased. After the education of local officials, they already understood that joining the army means protecting their own land, and Chen Long received a large amount of military pay, so they soon pulled up a large number of troops in Jiangnan.

Of course, not everyone accepted it. In the process of selecting soldiers, they strictly abide by Chen Long's teachings. Those slick and speculators were excluded, and only honest and honest good families were accepted. Those knowledgeable scholars all discussed it privately that the Xin Dynasty used the military selection strategy of Qi Nantang back then.

After entering the military camp, the recruits would not immediately go to the front line to fight, but would conduct strict military training first. Serious discipline made these peasant children who had just left their hometown a little uncomfortable. However, after the first meal, even if they beat them with sticks, they would not want to leave. They could eat meat every day. What a good life. The landlords in their hometown are not so abundant, right? As long as they can eat meat for a few more days, it would be worth it even if they were exhausted!

If he only relies on pigs, cattle and sheep, Chen Long would definitely not be able to provide so much meat to his soldiers. However, he still has a large number of naval forces in his hands. The water power of the Qing Dynasty is not worth mentioning at all. The focus of the Western colonists is on doing business. Chen Long cooperated with them happily, so the navy, which has no combat missions, can just be sent out to hunt whales. On the one hand, it can exercise their ocean-going abilities, and on the other hand, it can provide a large amount of meat.

To this end, Chen Long also specially built several canning factories in coastal ports to process and store whale meat. In addition, whale skin, whale bones, whale oil and ambergris produced by sperm whales can all be processed into valuable commodities, which can also bring considerable income to the Xin Dynasty.

With money, you can do something that really changes this ancient country. Chen Long built schools everywhere, which immediately attracted the attention of scholars. In their opinion, promoting culture and education is the foundation for whether a court can be long-term, but after they arrived at the school, they fell into confusion.

Those books of enlightenment are fine. Anyway, they only use reading and literacy. However, the higher-grade professors are not orthodox Confucianism, but the improved Confucianism. When they first came into contact with these books, they felt that they were very different from the popular Neo-Confucianism nowadays and regarded them as heresy. However, after reading them carefully, they felt that it was particularly reasonable and the rigorous writing was difficult to argue.

Where did they know that these books were originally compiled by Chen Long in the world of "Embroidered Spring Sword", and they put in the hard work of many great scholars in the late Ming Dynasty to cater to the trend of transformation of agricultural society into industrial society. Moreover, they have been constantly revised and improved over the years, how could they be defeated by just a few glances?

Pure scholars do not like these books, but those merchants and workshop owners feel like they have gained a treasure. They vaguely feel that if the New Dynasty took over the world and really governed the country according to the principles written in this book, perhaps the status of the four peoples, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, may have been completely changed for thousands of years.

In addition to building schools, Chen Long also spent a lot of money on water conservancy management projects. Before he could win the world, he spent money in such a place, and the people of Jiangnan opened their eyes again. Some said that Chen Long was too hasty, while others used examples from the late Warring States Period to refute it, saying that the Qin Dynasty was relying on Dujiangyan and Zhengguoqu to have the capital to wipe out the six countries in Shandong. Jiangnan was originally a land of fish and rice. After doing these things, it could produce countless more fertile land. This is the right way.

No matter whether they can get used to the policies of the New Dynasty, they can understand that King Fang is not a bandit who knows nothing. He is a truly hero with a strong mind in the world. In addition, the army of the New Dynasty has won consecutive victories, and the common people have achieved a bumper harvest according to the guidance of the New Dynasty officials. These scholars finally realized that maybe he can really win the world, right?

So gradually, the news changed, and some people began to persuade Chen Long to open the imperial examination to select scholars. Chen Long happily agreed, but did not take the method of eight-legged scholars to select scholars. Instead, they referred to the methods of civil servant examinations in later generations, using basic common sense and policy theory to select talents. After these scholars opposed it, they saw that Chen Long was firm in his attitude and could only succumb to it.

The first imperial examination in Xin Dynasty was held in Jiangning, and hundreds of talents were admitted, but they were not immediately granted official positions. Instead, they were sent to the school for concentrated training. Chen Long took the talents he trained to teach them personally, so that they could truly understand what it is to deal with government affairs.

These scholars couldn't help but complain. It seemed that being an official in the new dynasty was much more difficult than being a Qing Dynasty. I wanted to hand over official duties to my masters and officials as before, and it was impossible to recite poems by myself to enjoy a leisurely life. But I couldn't bear to give up, so I could only grit my teeth and continue to study hard, hoping to pass the exam as soon as possible.

Just as the south was booming, something happened to the court in the north. The new emperor Yongyan, who had just ascended the throne, suddenly died of illness. How long has it been before the Qing Dynasty changed to a new emperor.
