Chapter 187 Guangzhou Base

When Liu Xuanchu and Yang Qilong were about to set off for Guangzhou, Zhu Heying was looking at the map in the east study room of Xingzi's Mansion in Guangzhou.

The so-called Xingqinzi Mansion is actually the semi-colon of Jieyang's Prince's Mansion. It is also the power center of the "Guangzhou Base Area".

Now the third prince Zhu is still "happy" in Jieyang, so the saint prince Zhu Hezang, the saint prince, has the final say in Guangzhou. To manage the base area of ​​the eleven counties, of course, a larger yamen is the prince's mansion!

Zhu Hechan’s Prince’s Mansion was located in the former Prince’s Mansion of Shang Zhixin. It was earlier this place, the Prince’s Mansion of Jingnan, and it was a very luxurious mansion. It is a large area and has enough houses.

The Prince Zhu’s mansion did not use so many houses at all, so he also placed his own personal army town, Jinyi’s personal army camp school, and Zhuge’s military advisor’s mansion in this Prince’s mansion.

In addition, Zhu and Zhu Dasheng also opened a hospital and a small pharmaceutical factory in the Prince's Mansion that produces allicin by distillation. He left it to Daboling and Aoi Seiu, so that he could continue to be his great saint to treat the affairs of the Prince's Mansion while continuing to be his life-saving saint.

Zhu Heying is now not just the prince of Ding Wang, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the former Grand Secretary of the Confucianism. He is also the Confucian Saint Zhu!

This is where you can add a "sub" to the last name!

Of course, the sages must conquer people with virtue. Therefore, after seizing Guangzhou Prefecture City, Zhu Hetong did not expand into the surrounding areas, but instead took the lead in moral governance.

Of course, some territory also occupied, including Conghua County and Zengcheng County to the north, Dongguan County and Xinning County to the east, Sanshui County to the west, and Xinning and Heshan County on the southern line. In addition, the four counties of Shunde, Xiangshan, Fanyu and Nanhai that were occupied on the way to Guangzhou, controlled a total of eleven counties.

These are eleven counties in the Pearl River Delta!

Although she has been tossed by Shang Kexi for more than 20 years, the total population in these eleven counties still exceeds 1.2 million!

On average, the population of each county exceeds 100,000. Zheng Jing, the prince of Yanping County, has a Han population in Taiwan that is only 200,000, which is only equivalent to the two counties in the Pearl River Delta.

The big boss Hui only has a population of more than 100,000 on Chaozhou territory, which is only equivalent to a county in the Pearl River Delta.

Just by calculating the population, you can imagine how big Zhu Hetong won in Guangzhou Prefecture!

However, once this population exceeds one million, the difficulty of management and control has increased many times.

Originally, Zhu and the emperor had managed tens of thousands of people and dozens of towns on Jieyang Island. But now, if they want to manage more than one million people, they are dozens of towns and thousands of towns!

Not to mention deepening the tentacles of the regime into every town below, organizing the more than one million people into one rope. Just figure out how many towns there are below? How many people are there in each town? How much land is there? And their approximate location is a very huge project!

Fortunately, Zhu Heying is now a saint who is now a saint who has penetrated the wall and allicin, as well as a pool of salt, sugar cane wine, especially white sugar, Pingnan royal palace, coastal land, and Macau commercial ports. He also destroyed the Shang Kexi family, who had the most enemies in Guangdong. In the process of seizing Macau and taking over Guangzhou, he included more than 100,000 strong men and the people of Guangzhou City under his jurisdiction, so that they could be under the direct management of the Prince's Mansion.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to figure out these major problems clearly in less than two months.

Now, on the map of Zhu Hezhi, Zhuge Sanhe, Guo Youde and Daboling, the Guangzhou and the Eleven County of Zhaoqing, clearly marked the name of each town, the general location of each town, the farmland and population of each town.

Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, even Shang Kexi, who had been in charge of Guangzhou for more than 20 years, has never seen such a picture.

"The Prince, now there are only Xinhui, Qingyuan and Longmen counties in the entire Guangzhou Prefecture, but the other ten counties, plus Heshan County in Zhaoqing Prefecture, are already under the control of the Prince's Mansion.

According to the results of the inventory, there are 38 cities, 186 vassal states, 1,058 towns, more than 2,300 major surnames and three areas of wasteland outside the border, a total of more than 300,000 Ding men, more than 1,100,000 entourages, more than 3 million mu of mature land, and more than 2 million mu of wasteland that are easy to be reclaimed."

The person who was reporting the investigation of the eleven counties to Zhu Hetong was the Master Guo who always "killed". During this march into Guangzhou, he and Daboling were in charge of the logistics of the three armies. Daboling was in charge of the accounting and money, and he was in charge of the eleven counties. The major project of the investigation of the eleven counties was "job", so Master Guo was in charge of the responsibility.

"Have you found out all of them?" Zhu Heying looked at the account books full of eleven Eight Immortals Tables next to the map platform, frowned and asked again.

"Criminal, please don't worry. I have already carefully counted it, and it's not too much." Guo Youde said proudly, "This time I used a combination of self-inspection and mutual investigation in each county. No officials from Chaozhou came forward, but asked the people of Guangzhou to investigate it themselves.

I asked each county to conduct self-inspection first, and then randomly select people from other counties to review. Moreover, the temporary county officials and officials from each county were all drawn from neighboring counties in Cantonese and Zhaoqing, as well as from military personnel in Cantonese. They are familiar with the local situation and do not have much entanglement with the local area, so they are more capable of doing things."

Mr. Guo said that "a military member in the Cantonese Mansion" was that when Zhu Heying entered the Guangzhou Mansion, the Guanzhaqian and Guangzhou refugees who were assigned military citizenship by him were the "proletarians" who were expelled from Guangzhou City by Shang Zhixin.

These people are now settled in Guangzhou City and are also assigned to the military status of the Prince Xingzi Mansion. The Prince Xingzi Mansion is also in charge of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, so naturally they become Zhu Hetian's best friends.

"It's good! It's not easy to do such a difficult thing in just over a month!" Zhu Heying seemed very satisfied and nodded with a smile, "There are always conflicts in Guangzhou, Chaozhou, and Hakka. If we want to manage the fundamentals of Guangzhou well, we must be able to use Cantonese people to govern Guangzhou."

In fact, there were not many civilian officials coming from Chaozhou with Zhu Hetong, and they could not take over the eleven counties in the Guangzhou base.

Zhu Heying was born in Guangdong and raised in Guangdong in this life, and was born in Guangdong for generations of Chaozhou people in the past life. Therefore, he is very familiar with the grievances and hatreds between the three major ethnic groups of Cantonese, Hakka and Chaozhou people in Guangdong, and of course he also knows the affairs of the strong clans under these three major ethnic groups.

He knew that to manage Guangdong well, he had to adjust the interests between the three major ethnic groups and the powerful clans below. A bowl of water must be even, and it should not be too biased towards Chaozhou people, and the Chaozhou people are too good at joining groups. If many Chaozhou people were used to govern Guangzhou from the beginning, then in the future, there would be Chaozhou people in the officialdom of the Cantonese.

That's why he let Mr. Guo, a Tianjin native, become the chief supervisor of the civil affairs of the Cantonese government, and he also used a large number of Cantonese locals to manage the affairs of various counties in the Cantonese province.

In addition, if Zhu Hechan and his prince's mansion want to reconcile the clude between Guangzhou, Chaozhou and Hakka, they have to solve two major problems.

First, the land issue.

The second is the issue of academic qualifications.

Historically, the struggle between the three major ethnic groups of Guangzhou, Chaoshan and Hakka basically revolved around land and academic records.

This land issue is in the agricultural society, and that is the issue of the right to survive!

And academic record is the household registration issue related to the imperial examination, of course it is the right to development!

Moreover, in the early Qing Dynasty, the current clan society was still a clan society. The current clans did not worship their ancestors during festivals, but were real units of survival and development. The land in Guangdong was basically owned by the clans, and each clan would set aside a part of the land as a school field for the children of the clan to study and take the imperial examination.

The children of the clan who were admitted to the forefront of the clan and the sect should also stand up for the benefit of the clan and the sect.

Therefore, if Zhu Heying had to grasp the more than 2,300 major surnames in Canton, he could only start with "land" and "school records".

Thinking of this, Zhu Heying smiled at Zhuge Sanhe, Guo Youde, and Daboling, and said, "Since we have mastered all the eleven counties in Guangzhou, we can start governance now. As long as we can govern all the eleven counties in Guangzhou into a great harmony in which the whole world is for the people, it is no problem to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

When the military advisor Zhuge frowned when he heard this, he said, "Criminal Master, where should we start with this matter of governing the country and governing the country?"
