The fourteenth year of the Apocalypse, the end of spring.&1t;/p>

The cabinet announced that Huguang and Huaihe River Basin were included in the reform.&1t;/p>

This news directly produced an explosive effect. A major earthquake was caused in the officialdom of Huguang and Huaihe River. What should be come.&1t;/p>

The imperial court had just won the Mongolian War and drove the Mongolian Khan Lin Dankhan out of the Mongolian grassland. The emperor used his power to reform Huguang and Huaihe River Basin, which immediately scared a group of ready-to-move forces so much that they dared not move.&1t;/p>

Especially when the court announced the news, the army had been transported to Huguang and Huaihe River Basin by train. An infantry division was sent to Fengyang. There was the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty there, so it was absolutely impossible to go there.&1t;/p>

The railway has been built in Huguang and Huaihe River basins, and it can be passed. However, the railway has not crossed the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River Bridge has not been built yet.&1t;/p>

The field troops retreated from Mongolia were directly invested in Huguang and Huaihe River areas, namely Anhui and the northern part of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu.&1t;/p>

South of the Yangtze River, only Huguang is fully included in the reform. That is, Hubei and Hunan will be included in the scope of reform this time.&1t;/p>

Once the army has passed, the officials have also continued.&1t;/p>

The reform began with administrative reforms. Unlike previous reforms in other provinces, the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate directly began to investigate **.&1t;/p>

Not everyone can join the Han Imperial Party at this time.&1t;/p>

A major earthquake in the officialdom occurred directly in Huguang and Huaihe areas. A large number of ** officials were pulled out and put into prison, and their property was confiscated by the court.&1t;/p>

Obviously, this reform is a disaster for officials in Huguang and Huaihe River Basin. Who is the official now?&1t;/p>

Even those who are clean and rich at home are basically business families. These business families have to be covered up and left after the reform.&1t;/p>

However, the court did not kill all the officials who had a good understanding, were willing to cooperate with the court's reform, and were not as greedy as greedy. After all, it is impossible to replace all the officials there in a reform, and we still have to leave some to ensure order.&1t;/p>

Therefore, the imperial court usually sends officials to come, and while checking for ** problems, it also absorbs officials.&1t;/p>

Administrative reforms went very smoothly under the leadership of the army. No official could resist, and they did not have military power, so they did not dare to rebel blatantly. They could only be pinched by the court like mud, and they could pinch whatever they wanted.&1t;/p>

Get out of favor, stay away if you like.&1t;/p>

Those who are found to be corrupt and imprisoned are basically fat pigs. If they are greedy enough, they will naturally be cost-effective to slaughter them, which can be very pleased and supplement the national finance.&1t;/p>

There was a storm, and the people applauded.&1t;/p>

The officials sent by the court arrived in Huguang and Huaihe areas, which quickly changed the local administrative trend. The government's efficiency became higher and became more honest, but there were more things to manage. The number of officials and the armed forces that local governments could draw were also increased.&1t;/p>

Various new departments, local departments responsible for taxation, local taxation, education, water conservancy, civil affairs, forestry, agriculture, industry and commerce, transportation and other local departments were established one after another. In the past, these departments were not available in the local area. The local area was basically highly autonomous and had low administrative costs.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty was able to maintain the country's collapse with low fiscal revenue, mainly because it relied on low administrative costs.&1t;/p>

However, the court no longer adopts that model, but adopts a more sophisticated administrative management model, and no longer allows local forces to be highly autonomous.&1t;/p>

The court even extended its hands to the township level, and these reformed areas will establish township government departments.&1t;/p>

The armed forces that local governments can draw are police forces and armed police forces, and they can also request support from the garrison troops. In this reform, there is even support from the field army of the Central Military Region.&1t;/p>

The court directly dispatched a large number of officials and civil servants to the reform areas, and at the same time, a large number of policemen and armed police to the local area, and at the same time recruited local constables.&1t;/p>

After these forces arrived at the local area, the first thing they did was to suppress bandits and crack down on gangsters to ensure the safety of business, personnel exchanges, and local stability.&1t;/p>

The reform was still very smooth at the beginning, and there was no resistance in the officialdom reform. So it began to enter tax reform, and the problem was directly exposed.&1t;/p>

Those landlords in towns began to violently resist the law. And they were violently resisting the law everywhere, which was simply in a hurry.&1t;/p>

During the tax reform, commercial taxation was implemented, but the gentry who paid taxes in one fell swoop.&1t;/p>

The imperial court reformed and established township governments, which was to seize power from them!&1t;/p>

These gentry, as landlords, were even more reluctant to accept the court's new agricultural tax policy. They didn't understand what agricultural companies they were and didn't want to do.&1t;/p>

They only know that the court needs to collect taxes. And the more land, the higher the agricultural tax. This is the rhythm of putting them to death. These landlords control a large number of people through the land. At the same time, they also build forts in the countryside, and even have many weapons, and sometimes even guest-starred as bandits.&1t;/p>

The imperial civil servants came down to measure the land and ran away with sticks.&1t;/p>

Moreover, Huguang area has a large depth, many places have complex terrain, and mainly produces commercial grain. The landlords are tall and far away, so they are not willing to buy the court's reform at all. The court's agricultural reform policies in the north were a little unacceptable to the local conditions.&1t;/p>

Soon the Huguang area was like the imperial court was in an emergency.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, the biggest source of resistance to Huguang's reform is those landlords, and those landlords have a large population. However, these populations are also what our court wants to release from the land now. The conflicts between the two sides are irreconcilable, so the only way is to fight." Jiang Dejing suggested to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

"But in that case, Huguang will probably be in chaos." Shen Qing said, "Maybe there is a softer way."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao was also thinking about this issue, as Jiang Dejing said. The commercial power in Huguang area is not very strong, but the landlord class is very powerful, and the resistance to reform mainly comes from these landlord classes.&1t;/p>

The landlord class controls a large number of people, and now the imperial court needs to release these people from the land, so the contradictions are a bit irreconcilable.&1t;/p>

After these populations are released, who will produce the land? The land mainly pays taxes when the land is abandoned, so they only have one way to go. However, when the market has so much money, a large amount of land is worthless.&1t;/p>

In fact, this reform itself is aimed at the interests of the landlord class. During the reform process of northern provinces, because those landlords could not confront the court, the reform was carried out smoothly.&1t;/p>

Now in Huguang, if those landlords resist the imperial court, if they use force, they may catch fire everywhere.&1t;/p>
