Of course, there are other good news.
After more than a year of follow-up efforts, the large-scale social transformation in Huainan, with Zhangtian Qinghu and Jumin farming as the core, has initially completed the first stage; In more than one hundred camps, central villages, and management plots, the first crop of jicama has been harvested one after another, and they have begun to irrigate the fields and switch to "100-day ripening".
In addition, it was able to register (mainly in the towns and towns) of 419,000 households, with approximately 1.935,000. However, the age structure is in the form of a spindle, that is, the ratio of elderly to children at both ends is very small, and there are much more women in the middle-aged population than men.
Huainan itself is the main traditional agricultural production area with fertile land, dense irrigation and well-developed sericulture. In this way, through the follow-up production self-sufficiency movement that focuses on major events, the investment and maintenance costs in the newly occupied areas of Lianghuai will be greatly reduced, and the corresponding resources that have been throttled down will be reserved for other fronts and production recovery. .
For example, in the five states of the Xiajiang Road, except for some remote and dangerous mountainous villages and native settlements that are not immediately affected, the follow-up expansion and development of most of the human activity areas along the river has come to an end; The communication system formed by the board signal tower also began to operate.
What's left is to further increase the branch line infrastructure of water and land transportation, and gradually transform the results of these resource developments into the nourishment and new blood in the Taiping Army's economic system, and then at the same time, through the benefit feedback generated during the period, gradually Change the almost unchanging social outlook and stabilize the new ruling order.
This is also where the five states of the Xiajiang Road, as the transit point for the upstream, can support the Xichuan and Dongchuan two-way supportive divisions, and continue to add and expand the basic strength of the frontal strategy. It is the Shannan Dongdao that is roughly the same but somewhat different.
As an important support point and the rear of the three-way military subordinates who are simultaneously attacking Shannanxi Road, maintaining the frontiers in the Guanzhong area, and going out of Henan, Shannan Dongdao is under the control of the Taiping Metropolitan Government, and its customs and historical origins are closer to the northern region.
Therefore, compared to Liangling, Hunan, and Xiajiang, which have limited development, or Jiangxi and Jingnan, which have been devastated by war, or Jiangdong Sanlu, which has developed commercial and foreign trade and handicrafts, it is also the core of large landlords and officials. The most stubborn and intricate parts of traditional powers such as the family and the big clan.
In order to preserve their power and wealth, they can at all costs collude and cooperate with various forces that break through the lower limit, and instigate and incite localities to initiate wave after wave of counter-insurgency; therefore, the military control and martial law in many places for a long time can be used. It was the main normal in the early years. And this was once the area where the "three detachments" under the anti-revolutionary society suffered the most personnel losses.
It's just that no matter how hard they endeavor to resist, they can hardly resist the "weapon criticism" from the regular army and the replacement process of immigrants. Under the double blow of the Taiping Army's continuous suppression of bandits and the elimination of the village, twenty to thirty thousand people have been relocated one after another;
And after one-third of them died on the road or arrived at the place due to various reasons; the land of the seven states in Shannan East Road has also suddenly become a new style, and it has become the most solid model area and forward base today. It can be ordered. Sufficient servants and assistant soldiers were mobilized on the spot to support the large rear areas in Shanxi, Henan, and Guannei for multi-line operations.
In addition, a considerable amount of government bonds (for production, construction, and commercial operations) and military bonds (for war) have been issued over the years; therefore, they are held privately as numerous stakeholders. People, etc. have also spontaneously formed a set of guilds and places for private transactions.
Therefore, as the Cangcao Finance Section that specializes in overseeing the five major and twelve roads (Guangfu, Hunan, Xiajiang, Jiangxi, Guannei, Jiangdong), all kinds of flying money and foreign exchange transactions, it is specially proposed for this purpose. I filed an application; I hope it will be included in the official supervision and management, so as to avoid "hypocrisy, fraud, and loss of prestige."
Although Zhou Huai'an was unexpectedly able to give birth to such primitive financial activities among a series of inter-epochal measures under his rule, he was still quite pleased with the consciousness and vision of these subordinate departments. Only by planning the bottom line and framework will it not become a new source of malpractice after the formation of vested interest groups.
After all, the nature of capital is profit-seeking, and when this trend comes to an end, it will change from a free market that brings diversified competitive vitality to a gluttonous behemoth that cuts leeks as much as possible under an oligopoly. Therefore, various professional guilds and business associations were born in ancient times, which eventually became obstacles to social productivity, and modern times gave birth to the lighthouse country, a consortium of chaebols disguised as a country.
Therefore, proper external checks and balances and competition, which come from the constraints and restrictions on the regime system, are the basic guarantee for restraining the unfavorable factors and turning harm into profit. On this basis, as long as the Metropolitan Government is willing to release part of the new occupation area in the future, part of the interests and special product franchise as a guarantee, it will be no problem to raise another one million yuan in additional military expenditure.
After all, with the wealth of Jiannan since ancient times, the abundance of products, and the dense population, even through subsequent infrastructure projects and potential market demand development, it will not take long to make this expense back. But because of this, it is not easy to open the corresponding hole, otherwise it is easy to produce the potential results of the policy that is forced by the interests.
However, Zhou Huaian occasionally received some wonderful applications and appeals from special channels. Most of them are nonsense that makes people laugh, or replay the old tune that is not cost-effective. But there are also some intimidating poking secret goods or products of ulterior motives.
For example, a local monk once suggested that a large-scale water and land law meeting be held on the grounds that “it is inevitable to hurt the yin and virtue” after the anti-rebel society has been acting for many years, and that it became a normal state of encouragement. But this proposal is obviously either bad or stupid, or it is bad and stupid.
Because this is equivalent to questioning and denying the results of the work of the Anti-Rebellion Society for so many years from the official stance and moral level, and even this can shake and affect the legitimacy and righteousness of the series of policies implemented by the Taiping Army’s chief governor. Where; it happened to be in the hands of the remnants of the opposition and the reactionary.
(It's like the later generations on the Internet, changing tricks to question the achievements of New China's land reform, advocating for the rehabilitative and implementation of policies for the future generations of landlords and slave owners who have fled.)
Therefore, the people who made this suggestion afterwards, as well as the advocates and promoters dug up behind them, were sent to remote and remote management sites, while planting bananas and digging bamboo shoots, in order to accept the supervision of the laboring public and change their minds. The dual transformation of body and spirit.
And during the lunch break after dealing with these schedules, Zhou Huaian now has a new schedule. I came to the garden next door to visit my two newly-born children on a routine basis. Because noon is also the warmest spring sun, the two children are sent out to bask in the sun and rest in the fresh air.
It was just that when he backed away from the left and right and walked through the heavily guarded corridors and back doors, and came to the courtyard behind the mansion, he heard the noise of Yingying and Yanyan in the courtyard. However, the family members of the family gathered together, surrounded by the two infants, there was a full of laughter and laughter.
Therefore, the first to greet him was the bear wolf dog (large hyena) who smelled the scent of the wind and hurriedly ran over, rubbed and whirled around his thigh after a few exclamations and screams; only Seeing it grinning and sticking out its tongue, it is constantly trying to stand up with its claws, and its eyes are full of complicated forms of flattery and grievance;
It’s just now that the bear and wolf dog has grown to be an adult and waist-high. What they eat is fat, strong and shiny, and the chubby body moves slightly as if it is shaking with a golden-brown and round-spotted fur. ; But it was carefully sorted out and formed into a lot of pigtails, tied with colorful knots, so it looks a little bit ridiculous.
"I have seen the king..."
"Wang Shang is well..."
At this time, following several figures chasing bears, wolf dogs, the women in the courtyard finally reacted. And amid the respectful salutes and unison singing of the maids and servant women in the outer ring, the members of the back house, headed by the little lady Cao Hongyao, also stood up from the blankets laid out on the grass to greet them.
They used blankets and cushions in the courtyard to divide them into two groups, one large and one small. Among the older women, the stars are usually surrounded by the two swaddlings held by Hong Yaoer and Zhang Yunqing on the camel wool woven carpet in the center.
And on the carpets of the little girls group sitting around a pile of calamus, Doudou, Zhuerhe and Amber and Emerald, Zhou Huaian saw another pet in the family, "Gan Kui Nian" (Red Panda). It's just that now it is not only carefully tied with fine braids, but also tied into a small bun between the ears with ribbons, and even put on a decent skirt;
Therefore, it now looks like a little pitiful and unlovable. And there are many utensils used for dressing and dressing tied around it; obviously, the appearance of the bear and wolf dog before is also a "masterpiece" by their hands. In other words, no matter whether the male or female is in their hands, there will only be a motherly end.
Zhou Huaian leaned on the head of the bear wolf dog who was trying hard to rub his side, and came to the two children with warm heart. Looking at the wrinkled face of Zhang Yunqing's son who was sleeping soundly with his small fist in his arms, and seeing the slightly opened eyes on Cao Hongyao's hand, she looked at the new world as if she was asleep but not asleep, she only felt that the most precious thing in the world There is nothing more than this.
