Fang Nan did not pay much attention to the situation of literati and scholars in Guangzhou City. They are not very important, and there are still many things to pay attention to under the rule of the People's Army.

Currently, there are three places that Fangnan is most concerned about, namely military, people's livelihood, and industry.

There is no doubt that under the rule of the People's Army, more than 100,000 Ming troops gathered on three sides, and more Ming troops will gather in the future, military affairs are always the most important. If the military strength does not improve, the People's Army will be driven out of the sea by the Ming army in the end.

The People's Army's troops are limited due to the inability to increase unlimitedly under the People's Army's rule. The distance limit is almost approaching, and no matter how many it is, it will affect people's livelihood.

Of course, if the situation is not conducive to the People's Army, the People's Army has to force recruitment of young and strong people to expand the scale of the People's Army.

When the troops cannot be increased without limit, there are two main ways for the People's Army to improve its strength. One is to equip more muskets, artillery, and grenades, and the other is to train the cold weapon troops to improve the combat effectiveness of the new recruits.

It's okay to train the latter. When the Ming army did not go to war, the main task of the recruits was training, but the former involved industrial development.

In the past three months, the production of tiger-headed guns has reached more than 700. According to the Ministry of Industry, the production of tiger-headed guns in April will exceed 800.

If eight hundred tiger-headed guns are produced in a month, two infantry battalions can be formed, which can effectively improve the strength of the People's Army.

The output of artillery and grenades has increased to a certain extent, and both can effectively increase the strength of the People's Army.

However, if you want to continue to quickly increase the output of muskets, artillery and grenades, it depends on industrial development.

After the military, people's livelihood is second. At present, the People's Army does not have much to do for the people.

After the People's Army occupied the new territory, they seized the evil wealthy families, distributed land to the people, and encircled and suppressed bandits. These three things have a great impression of the people.

The landlords bully the common people, and the bandits also bully the common people. Under their bullying, the people's lives were extremely miserable. The People's Army investigated the landlords and the encirclement and suppressed the bandits and bandits, and the common people applauded.

However, what makes the people happiest is the distribution of land. There are very few people with land, and even fewer people can support their own family by planting their own land. The biggest dream of many people is to own acres of land. This dream is watched by the People's Army, so the People's Army quickly gains the hearts of the people.

In the eyes of these lower-level people, as long as there are a few acres of farmland, the grain produced on the farmland can make the whole family have enough food. This is a good day, and the standards are very, very low.

The standards of the people are low, but Fang Nan sets the standards. They don’t have enough food and eat meat. They can wear a new set of clothes every year, so the house is not airtight and leaks, and they can be treated if they are sick.

However, it is very difficult to implement this standard, and the biggest difficulty lies in the limitations of the times.

For example, when people get sick and treat diseases, the lower-level people can’t afford to treat the disease at all, and they can only endure it by themselves when they get sick. Even if a middle-aged family gets seriously ill, they may emptie their family’s wealth in order to see the doctor.

To reduce the difficulty of seeing a doctor, on the one hand, we need to increase the number of doctors, and on the other hand, we need to increase the income of the people. Dividing the land will increase the income of the people a little, and increasing the number of doctors is a big problem.

Traditional medicine requires too long to grow up to treat patients independently. A doctor cannot cultivate too many apprentices at once, and there are very few apprentices who can read.

The issue of expanding the number of doctors can only be done step by step. Free education increases the number of graduates in three years of education, and then set up a medical school to allow experienced doctors to be teachers. A teacher can teach more students. If you spend some time, the number of doctors will greatly increase.

In addition, modern medicine is also a very good development direction, but the People's Army cannot develop modern medicine in a short period of time, so we can only take it slowly.

Difficult problems are solved bit by bit, simple and critical problems must be solved first, and problems related to farming are undoubtedly closely related to the people. Natural disasters such as floods and droughts often occur, and the best way to deal with floods and droughts is to build water conservancy facilities on a large scale.

The People's Army fought so many wars with the Ming army and captured so many Ming army. Some of the Ming army was influenced to join the People's Army, and more Ming army were punished to be coolies to undergo labor reform.

The People's Army occupied most areas of Guangdong, seized many wealthy families, and arrested many gangsters. Those who were too guilty were executed directly, and the rest were punished as coolies.

There are many coolies in vain. There are still many places that need coolies under the rule of the People's Army. Building roads, mining, and building water conservancy facilities are all things that coolies need to do.

The construction of water conservancy facilities is beneficial to the people. When the people nearby see the People's Army building water conservancy facilities, they will come to help when they are free, and don't have any wages. If you can manage food, it will touch the people.

The people are not stupid. They know the importance of water conservancy facilities to them. They can drain water quickly during floods, and there are places to take water to hydrate fields during droughts. If water conservancy facilities can be built quickly, it would be even better.

Being able to make the people full and not starve to death is the first step in developing people's livelihood, and then make the people "rich" step by step.

Industry is put third. In fact, industry is like people's livelihood. Due to this era, it can only develop slowly.

The most important part of the industrial revolution is the emergence of steam engines. However, under the rule of the People's Army, the research on steam engines has not yet begun. Hydraulic machine tools have begun trial use in Foshan Arsenal. There are many improvements in the early hydraulic machine tools. When the project team improves some hydraulic machine tools, it will basically not be until the second half of this year before the project team will start researching steam engines.

For the People's Army, the more craftsmen, the better, but the number of craftsmen is limited, and it is impossible to put them in the arsenal to build firearms and cold weapons for the People's Army. In this case, with the addition of hydraulic machine tools, production efficiency will be effectively improved with the same number of people.

It can be foreseen that with more hydraulic machine tools added to the Foshan Arsenal, the output of muskets can be rapidly increased. At that time, the People's Armed Forces will be expanded at least one regiment in a month, and the People's Army's strength will be rapidly improved.

At that time, the People's Army will not be worried about the Ming army with more troops, and it will be no problem to resist the Ming army. The People's Army can choose to send large troops to capture more territory when it develops to a certain extent and complete the goal of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty step by step.
