Chapter 316: Mandatory Reform

The emperor and a group of ministers came to the experimental base and immediately saw a telegram device and a wire connected to the outside.&1t;/p>

"Report to Your Majesty, this wire is connected to the suburbs of the city 50 miles away. There is also a telegraph station there. According to the code mode you proposed, the experiment has been successful." Wang Wei said.&1t;/p>

"Then let me demonstrate it to you!" Zhu You proofread Wang Wei and said.&1t;/p>

"Please tell your Majesty the contents of the report." Wang Wei said, Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Ask a question about the disaster in the suburbs."&1t;/p>

"Telecommunication content: There may be disasters in the suburbs."&1t;/p>

Wang Wei ordered the telegrapher, and the telegrapher immediately pressed it on the reporter. With a series of "drip" sounds, the telegraph content was sent out.&1t;/p>

5o inside and outside the station received a telegram code, and then accurately translated the content. Then a telegram was sent to the experimental base, which said: There is no disaster, everything is good.&1t;/p>

The telegrapher at the experimental base received the code and recorded the numbers immediately. Then he opened the code book and found the words one by one according to the numbers. Although the whole process was a bit awkward, he still wrote the message one by one.&1t;/p>

When the officials saw the telegrapher find out the contents of the telegraph, they were all shocked.&1t;/p>

“Fifty miles away, so fast?”&1t;/p>

"It's amazing!"&1t;/p>

"What if it's hundreds of miles away?"&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao saw this telegram and immediately knew that the telegram had really been clear. He was in a good mood and laughed: "My dear friends, even if this telegram is thousands of miles away, it only takes about a quarter of an hour to return a telegram."&1t;/p>

This degree was really surprising, and a group of ministers exclaimed.&1t;/p>

This telegram can really convey information so quickly, so the Ming Dynasty's ability to control the local area will obviously be greatly improved, especially its ability to control the overseas.&1t;/p>

"Mr. Wang, I wonder how much the telegram costs?" Guo Yunhou, the Minister of Revenue, asked Wang Wei.&1t;/p>

"It is necessary to lay and set up copper wires. The cost is much lower than road construction." Wang Wei replied. When Guo Yunhou heard that the cost was lower than road construction, he felt relieved.&1t;/p>

Laying a telegraph network is nothing more than setting up a telegraph wire. The main cost of the telegraph wire is copper material and a layer of protective film on the outside.&1t;/p>

It is relatively simple to set up. Just take a few telephone poles all the way. The telegraph wires across the sea are also relatively simple, just put them into the seabed one by one.&1t;/p>

Of course, for specific large-scale applications, some detailed technologies need to be improved.&1t;/p>

The successful research of telegram means that the transmission of information will become very fast. This means that the court can respond faster to disasters and rebellions.&1t;/p>

At the same time, for state-owned consortiums, commercial response will be faster.&1t;/p>

It can be said that there are many benefits of telegraphs, and the court must have popularized the application of this technology. Of course, the technology was not very mature at this time, so Zhu Youxiao decided to build a telegraph line from the capital to Tianjin first. Use the operation of this line to accumulate experience, and also open a telegraph training class to train technicians and telegraphers.&1t;/p>

At the same time, each department has established telegraph departments, military, factory, administrative, and civilians to use their own password books to ensure information security.&1t;/p>

Just as Chenggong Telegram was sent, the research team of the Royal Academy of Sciences successfully developed the technology to prevent and treat smallpox.&1t;/p>

This technique is not difficult at all. The experiment was successful a few months after Zhu Youxiao proposed it. It was proved that growing cowpox to prevent and control smallpox is not only effective, but also very safe.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered the Imperial Hospital to popularize this technology to various provinces. The focus was on fully popularizing it in the new policy areas, so as to completely eliminate smallpox in the new policy areas.&1t;/p>

The technique of vaccination was already quite popular in China at this time. According to some later classics, this technique may have originated in the Song Dynasty. However, it was popularized in the Ming Dynasty, or in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the method of vaccination was still using human acne, which poses certain risks, and is a gate of hell that every child has to pass.&1t;/p>

In contrast, cowpox is much safer.&1t;/p>

The telegram and cowpox Ming soon appeared on the Daming Daily, which caused a lot of sensation and shock after the report.&1t;/p>

Regarding the telegram report, Daming Daily focused on exaggerating the role of suppressing the rebellion to deter those ambitionists.&1t;/p>

"Where is a rebellion? Report to the court on the same day, the court can know it on the same day. And within the day, they can dispatch troops and generals thousands of miles away, and win the victory thousands of miles away. Where there is a disaster. The court can also know it on the same day, and within the day, they can mobilize manpower and material resources to rescue disasters."&1t;/p>

At the same time, the military version of Daming Daily also reported that Mao Wenlong had swept away a group of Jiannu remnants in the Northeast region.&1t;/p>

Anyway, it is to show off your muscles and convey the message of the strong military and strong court to the people of the whole country, further intimidating those ambitious people.&1t;/p>

People in every era have normal intelligence.&1t;/p>

The rebellions in the late Ming Dynasty were mainly due to the continuous military failures of the Ming Dynasty, which led many ambitious people to think that the opportunity had come, so they began to jump up and down.&1t;/p>

Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he first destroyed Jiannu and defeated Mongolia, and internal rebellions have been successfully suppressed. Now the court has trained a new army. It is indeed a strong army, giving people a signal that the regime is extremely stable. Now those ambitious people are shocked.&1t;/p>

Shandong's reforms are still continuing, and Kong Yinzhi is still useless to jump up and down. The Shandong people supported and supported the reform with both hands after the strong publicity of the court. The Jiangnan gentry that Kong Yinzhi united could not help him at this point. At the same time, Shandong gentry landlords and merchants did not support the new policy, but they also did not stop the rolling wheels of reform.&1t;/p>

In contrast, those businessmen are smarter and no longer openly distorted. Some of them still have support for the new policy.&1t;/p>

The achievements of the reform of Northern Zhili are very familiar to Shandong merchants. After all, Shandong is next to Northern Zhili, and those businessmen who run around are already very familiar with the changes in Northern Zhili.&1t;/p>

After the reform, Beizhili has become extremely prosperous today. Compared with the time when taxes were not imposed, it has flourished many times.&1t;/p>

If Shandong can also carry out reforms, the Shandong market will soon be boosted with the start of a large number of construction projects.&1t;/p>

Under the new policy system, although merchants have to pay taxes, the market has become larger. For those small and medium-sized merchants, they benefit the most. Because the business tax of small and medium-sized merchants is not heavy in itself, if the market can prosper, they are the direct beneficiaries.&1t;/p>

Only those big businessmen and businessmen in some industries face the possibility of being cleared out by state-owned capital. So much so that after the reform of the new policy of Beizhili, many businessmen no longer follow the crowd and reject the new policy.&1t;/p>

Moreover, under the implementation of the new policy, there will be a lot of opportunities. This will be a market reshuffle, some people will be eliminated, and some people will gain more benefits.&1t;/p>

Kong Yinzhi did not dare to rebel. As the court transferred a large number of troops to Shandong to maintain stability, Shandong's reform was carried out quickly, and this was a compulsory reform. Kong Yinzhi was simply unable to twist his arms.&1t;/p>

Measure the land and formulate agricultural taxes and collect commercial taxes quickly launched in Shandong. Some gentry and local tyrants tried to violently resist the law. As a result, the government directly called for the military to support it, drove the army over, seized the gentry and local tyrants, confiscated the land completely, and served a few years in prison, which scared other gentry and local tyrants to death.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Shandong crackdown campaign kicked off this winter. There are too many land hooligans these days, and it has reached the point where they cannot be defeated.&1t;/p>

After the crackdown on Beizhili, the crackdown process has been very complete and the experience is very rich.&1t;/p>

Anyone who is in the fish and meat village, who is crowing and robbing, will be arrested and served as sentences. Those who are already angry with the gods will be directly taken to question and kill the young people who can save them will be sentenced lighter, mainly for the purpose of transformation, usually for two or three years of labor reform.&1t;/p>

Those older people who are already adults are still messy, and they are sentenced to ten or eight years, acting as free labor, throwing them into mines, or sending them to quarries, logging farms, and construction sites to work as coolies.&1t;/p>

This crackdown makes everyone in Shandong applaud.&1t;/p>

The court also retried the prisoners in Shandong, and suddenly found a bunch of unjust cases, so the ones that should be rehabilitated and the ones that should be held accountable.&1t;/p>

The ban on gambling is also underway. The imperial court set up a red light district, banned private brothels and brothels, and seized casinos.&1t;/p>

After one reform plan was quickly implemented, the results of Zhu Youxiao's reform in Beizhili have been revealed. After a complete process was formed, as long as enough new administrative personnel were trained, reforms in other provinces would be very rapid and orderly.&1t;/p>

While the reform continued, Shandong highway, water conservancy, industrial zone and other projects also began to be planned and implemented.&1t;/p>

Highways are required to be able to connect the entire Shandong, provincial, prefecture, county, township, village, highways or courts at all levels to directly allocate funds, and local governments will leave certain taxes for construction.&1t;/p>

Water conservancy will generally bring sweet rain. Whether it is landlords or small peasants, the imperial court will repair water conservancy as much as possible. It can benefit one acre of land, and one acre of more acre.&1t;/p>

Shandong's first industrial zone is located in Jiaozhou Bay, with shipbuilding as its main industry. At this time, the shipbuilding industry in Jiaozhou Bay has become relatively large after years of development.&1t;/p>

While a large number of projects continue to start construction, farmers are provided with interest-free loans for seeds, agricultural tools, agricultural machinery, agricultural livestock, etc. From then on, Shandong farmers purchase production materials and no longer have to ask the landlords to borrow usury.&1t;/p>

Such policies can quickly improve agricultural productivity and popularize the most advanced agricultural production technology, so that farmers can have more time to work on construction sites.&1t;/p>

The biggest difference between the new policy is that farmers go to the construction site to work, no longer do labor service, but can get wages, and it is not mandatory to go.&1t;/p>

The new system avoids many tragic lives.&1t;/p>

First, even if the rural areas are affected and the crops are not harvested, it is impossible to starve to death. Farmers only need to go to the construction site to do their jobs, and they can always eat a full meal. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
