The maintenance costs of the municipal committee are maintained by the local gentry class themselves. If they do not maintain the disbandment, even the most basic right to participate in politics and discuss the government will be lost!

The force of the local garrison corps was completely taken by the central court. The local garrison corps no longer obeyed the local governments, but was directly under the central government, which was theoretically at the same level as the local governments.

However, local governments have the right to report. If the local garrison army makes a mistake or tends to rebel, local governments can report directly to the central court.

By the same token, after the municipal committee shrank into a purely political and political participation department, it also became a nominal supervisory yamen.

Their right to participate in politics and government affairs sounds nice, but in fact it has no influence on local governments. Because administrative and judicial rights are all controlled by local governments, the municipal committee’s suggestion that local governments can just find a reason to treat it as fart!

It is a matter of time before such departments become subordinate institutions of local governments, and it is easy to become a springboard for local governments to master the local gentry class.

Therefore, Richard positioned the function of the municipal committee on supervision.

Although their local rights are very small, they can impeach local governments to the cabinet of the central court at any time and anywhere.

Of course, the central court cannot punish local governments because of the impeachment of the municipal committee. If the impeachment is true, the central court will send special prosecutors to the local area to rectify and manage.

In this regard, the Municipal Committee became a pure supervision department, because the members of the Municipal Committee, the supervision department, were all rich gentry classes, and it was difficult for local governments to bribe them.

The municipal committee has no right to point fingers at local governments, and only has the right to report small things, and it is difficult to infiltrate local governments.

Of course, supervision is mutual, and local governments can also report the municipal committee.

However, the municipal committee itself has no rights and does not care about things, so there are few places to make mistakes...

This system is already the best mutual supervision system that Richard could think of. Moreover, he obtained the power of armed servants from the local Han gentry class out of thin air, acted as a local garrison army, and eliminated the biggest crisis in the Western Regions invisible, which was already a big profit.

After a series of reforms, after confirming that the local Han landlords and gentry class was unable to resist themselves, Richard promulgated the system of giving land merits to alleviate the financial pressure of the local garrison army and to make the soldiers of the local garrison army more return.

Most of the land obtained by the officers and soldiers of the local garrison army were confiscated from the rebel landlord's homes before, and some of them were gentry landlords who were unable to afford the high land tax and did not want to distribute it to their relatives for free and sold it to the government at a low price.

These land is a waste in the hands of the court. Local governments have to manage the people and public security. They are already very busy all day long. It is impossible to set up a separate department and promote a large number of officials to manage and cultivate these fields. Doing so will greatly increase administrative costs.

Therefore, the confiscated land and the land acquired at a low price from the landlords and gentry all became military fields for local garrison troops. With military fields, these soldiers basically completely deviated from their original personal feelings for the master's family.

It turns out that when I was a landlord, it was difficult to divide my own land. But when I worked hard for the court, I immediately had my own land. Which one is more important?

The system of giving fields to teach military merits can be said to be a relatively advanced policy in the feudal military system. In the history of the earth, most of the founding dynasties adopted similar policies to share fields for soldiers and buy people's hearts and improve combat effectiveness.

The prefecture and field system of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the ward system of the Ming dynasties, and the hardcore crops of the Eight Banners of the Qing dynasties were roughly the same principle.

However, in the late stage, the best system will often deteriorate due to the greed of the senior management and the corruption of the bureaucratic system. The beneficiaries of the fields will also be as strong as the other because of the guarantee of wealth...

However, the effect of this system was absolutely significant in the early stage, especially the first generation who were divided into fields, were definitely a die-hard supporter of the court, because they would lose their military achievements without the court, and it would be strange if they didn't work hard!

For the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, which was undergoing financial difficulties and monetary reforms, giving military merits to the fields was definitely the fastest way to accumulate people's hearts.

In the 5th year of the Ming Dynasty, a series of reforms were basically settled, and a small number of landlords and gentry classes who were unwilling to take risks were quickly suppressed.

Because the landlords and gentry class were divided and disintegrated and lost their servants' armed forces, their ability to rebel was very weak. Therefore, most Han gentry and landlords chose to appoint and actively cooperate with the central court. Only a few Han gentry and landlords incited Semesters to rebel and rebel.

In the Western Regions, the appeal of rebellion is still possible, because the Seme people, who occupy the majority of the population, are in the oppressed stage. After the Ming Dynasty ruled the Western Regions, this oppression increased instead of decline. Originally, many Seme people were still free people, and Richard suddenly became a serf!

Therefore, as long as the Han gentry class dares to sacrifice their lives, they can easily motivate the Seminary serfs under their hands.

Unfortunately, the Seminister serfs are no match for the local garrison army and auxiliary army at all. Although there are many rebellions in various places, in the most intense year of reform in the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of rebels had taken the banner, but the rebels that had lasted for more than a month had not...

Even the rebels who captured the county town did not appear...

In this reform collision, the only beneficiary was the Central Court of the Ming Dynasty. They obtained a large number of high-quality land for free and successfully eliminated the "brave and unruly people" among the gentry class.

The impact of rebellion on the local area is not great. After all, even the city has not been broken, and at most it is just a group of people who died.

Compared with the damage caused by Richard's war to unify the Western Regions, this level of rebellion is purely at the kindergarten level...

During the fierce reform and suppression of rebellion, although the mosquitoes were small, they also accumulated Li Yaguo's income of 1,000 lucky coins.

This is mainly because the uprising team is too scattered. If we can unite to form a large-scale rebel army or even break a county town, we will definitely get more lucky coins after suppressing the rebellion.

Of course, Richard would not allow the rebels to develop for some luck...

If the city was captured by such garbage rebels, it would be a great reputational blow to Richard's court, and then it would only give birth to more ambitious people!

After Richard recruited the gentry class force in the Western Regions without any damage, he received shocking news from the Central Plains!
