451 Internal affairs

The 19th year of the Ming Dynasty was one of the few times for the people of East Asia.

Since An Lushan’s rebellion, the war in East Asia finally completely subsided in the 19th year of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the previous wars did not cover the entire East Asian continent, the warlords and countries in the East Asian continent were more or less involved, and even the people in the rear were affected by the war.

War is very expensive and food. The court cannot produce money and food out of thin air. The areas that were destroyed on the front line cannot find any oil and water. In the end, most of the burden of war fell on the stable people in the rear.

Therefore, since the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, the burden on the people of East Asia has become heavier and heavier, and countless people are wandering around in the war and buried their bones in foreign land.

Moreover, due to Richard's rise, the war on East Asia was no longer an ordinary dynasty change, and became a war to destroy the entire vested interest class!

The powerful and gentry and rich people above their heads were beaten away, so naturally the people below could not get any benefits.

Those gentry and tyrants would not go to the front line as soldiers. They would pay to send people to hire ordinary people to the front line, so no one can hide from the war in East Asia!

After the chaos, the entire East Asian continent seemed to have been purified. There were naturally new powerful people under the Ming Dynasty. Some farmers who were good at operating became small landlords based on the enfeoffed fields.

People's minds are different. Even if the Ming Dynasty dares to equalize the land system for the whole people, after the land is completed, some people will make money and some people will lose money...

Restricting the sale of basic land at most will ensure that farmers who lose money will not be starved to death.

However, compared with the previous gap between the rich and the poor, the small peasant economy in Ming Dynasty has become the main economy, and the gap between the rich and the poor has been greatly narrowed.

Both the big households and the old powerful were beaten and swallowed up by the Ming army. The rest were poor people. Even if there were differences in management, there would be no big gap between the rich and the poor.

When the gap between the rich and the poor is smaller, and every family has land to grow, the country will naturally settle down. Even if some of the Ming Dynasty’s policies are unpopular, the people’s demands are actually not high, and they can fill their stomachs.

People are not worried about poverty and unevenness. Even in the good era of Richard's previous life, the people at the bottom of the class did not have to worry about food and clothing, and they were not satisfied with all kinds of dissatisfaction?

Therefore, Richard never thought of satisfying most people from beginning to end. What he did was just to fill most people's stomachs.

As long as you are not hungry, no matter how unfair the society is and how severe the oppression the people are, there will be no danger of national stability.

It is okay to let those dissatisfied people quarrel. It is only a matter of minutes to list the disadvantages of a hundred national policies, but if they really want them to rebel...

Hoho~~~

If it weren't so hungry that he was desperate, no one would rebel!

After all, ambitious people are the minority, and most people are still afraid of power.

At least, the people in the East Asian mainland who had been used to the full-time monarchy and were not corrupted by liberal thought, fearing the Ming court was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Richard's world was killed by shots and shots. The corpses and corpses of the previous dynasty are the best shock!

After 19 years of rest and recuperation, the bandits in the Ming Dynasty were chased by the Ming army, whose energy was turned into internal affairs, and the heaven was chased by the Ming army, who had no way to go...

In fact, as long as the court is really willing to spend a lot of money to use regular troops to encircle and suppress bandits, no matter how serious the bandits are, they cannot withstand the encircle and suppression of regular troops.

How can bandits who need combat effectiveness but no combat effectiveness, morale but no morale, logistics supply but no logistics supply, and no people fight against the government troops who are doing their best?

Do you really want to hide in the mountains and forests?

If bandits can live in the deep mountains and forests, can’t regular soldiers do it?

The Ming Dynasty's army was all system guard infantry, and Richard had never seen anyone better than them in terms of hardship!

The elimination of banditry has greatly hit the few potential supporters of the Revival Association.

You should know that many bandits in the Ming Dynasty were under the banner of the Revival Society just to show their good reputation.

Bandits also care about reputation. If there is a good reputation, there will be more "green forest heroes" who surrender to you.

As a result, after a year of clearance, no bandits dared to claim the title of Revival Society...

The Revival Society, which was already in a slump, almost disappeared from the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for Zhou Zhiruo, the president of the Revival Society, hadn't been arrested, the Revival Society organization could have even been declared to have disappeared.

Richard was just doing it at his disposal. After all, there was nothing to do in the peacetime military and did not require frequent military training. It was always necessary to find something for them to do.

Furthermore, during the bandit suppression process, there are still no large number of young and strong bandits. These people are valuable labor. Whether it is the northern region of East Asia, the uninhabited areas from the northeast to the Korean Peninsula, or the collective farms west of the Palacioles in the Western Regions, they all need to open up land.

In addition to suppressing bandits, in the 19th year of the Ming Dynasty, Richard also sorted out various places through the cabinet, clearly distinguished the boundaries between the police and local security groups, and solved the previous problem of blurred boundaries.

The shift system of local security teams has also been further improved, trying to ensure that large areas of military fields do not miss the busy farming season.

At the same time, the two-way immigration plan on the Southeast Asian Peninsula was also launched, and Richard also began to recruit cannon fodder corps on the Southeast Asian Peninsula.

In order to make the indigenous people on the Southeast Asian Peninsula as quickly as possible, Richard summoned all the male and young men of Southeast Asian age who were suitable for collective training and divided them into special collective farms for centralized management.

A large number of women of Southeast Asian age-age reproductive age left to mainland East Asia to provide Han men with marriage.

There is no limit on the number of wives to marry in the Ming Dynasty. In principle, as long as you can afford to support them, civilians can marry up to 5 wives and concubines.

If the man is unable to support them, the woman can go to the local government to declare and choose a husband for her husband!

In the overall plan of Ming Dynasty, women have risen to become a strategic resource!

After all, women rarely care about national affairs and changes in the surrounding environment. They are the easiest group to assimilate. Compared with the young and strong men in Southeast Asia who still remember their ancestors, most young and strong women in Southeast Asia do not know who their ancestors are...

Moreover, women in the Southeast Asian Peninsula have become accustomed to being vassals of men. After marrying Han men, they will naturally follow their husbands and wife, and will soon accept the cultural customs of the Han family.

The Southeast Asian Peninsula has been used as a springboard for the next step of invasion by Richard. Now there are only three paths to the Ming Dynasty's western expedition.

One is the route that Saar Greenskin once took, crossing an ice field and entering the Central Asian prairie.

Now Richard already knows that there is a vast Mongol Empire in the East Asian prairie!
