Chapter 173: "Inspection" of the characteristics of the country
Under the leadership of Yan Changwu, the Southeast Government Staff Headquarters regularly formulates combat plans that simulate the enemy, such as dealing with the Dutch. One is to wait for work and use existing forces to deal with the Dutch; the other is to hit the door and attack after the completion of the new batch of warships.
Since the Dutch wanted to fight the Southeast Mansion, our army just waited for the enemy ship to arrive.
Preparations must be made, but life must continue until the enemy arrives for a day. Yan Changwu returns to Taiwan. In addition to inspecting and defending, he must come to the country’s characteristic "summary", and write down his experience gained from the voyage. Discuss, deliberate, and form the final document, which will be communicated to all parties, and everyone will conduct "political study".
He first convened important military and political personnel such as Chen Zhongji, Hong Sheng, Li Ying, Li De, Chen Hebin, etc., for a small-scale discussion.
"The first thing is people's livelihood!"
"The so-called people's livelihood can be understood as the life of the people, or it can be said to let the people live!" Yan Changwu said with emotion: "I went to the north this time, and I have a lot of emotions and share with you!"
"Mainland people pay too much tax. Officials, landlords, and those who have passed the imperial examination can avoid taxes. The peasants are burdened with heavy taxes and corvee, and they are miserable. Coupled with years of floods and droughts, peasants have no way of making a living. There are many places on the road we pass. How can this country live without food!"
"I have been to some villages, and the people generally have a dishonorable face and are bitter!"
"Therefore, we must ensure the lives of the people and work hard to develop the economy, agriculture, industry, and commerce! Our previous strategy is correct. We must do a good job in data statistics, supervision of officials, increase people's income, strengthen security, municipal construction, and invigorate the economy. and many more."
Yan Changwu talked about "statistics" and established statistical units at the town and village levels to obtain accurate data. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the allocation of personnel and funds.
In addition to the existing monitoring rooms in the towns, the inspection team plans to send inspection teams to inspect and monitor people’s livelihoods.
Cracking down on unhealthy tendencies has caused serious subordinates, but Yan Changwu pointed out that all trials are focused on evidence and do not involve any involvement. The southeast government is small and cannot withstand the big storm.
To increase people’s income, invigorate the economy, and benefit the people, there is infrastructure...good infrastructure, road construction, large-scale farmland water conservancy, construction of factories, etc. The key is that the Southeast Government has money in its hands, and it is through the payment of wages instead of corvee. Money will come.
The mainland government has suffered a lot in this regard. They charge less business taxes. With the support of these firm patriots of the Donglin Party, the country has a long-term low business tax rate. If the government has no money, they can’t afford wages and send money to the people. Corral, if the people are upset, they will run away, and if they can't escape, they will go back.
...
People’s livelihood also includes the establishment of a minimum wage. The internship period is at most half a year. There are also three traditional festivals including Spring Festival, Labor Day, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival as the statutory holidays of the southeast government. Except for the Spring Festival, they are all one day, plus the Gregorian calendar. Sunday is the official suspension day, and there are still many holidays.
Nursery schools are established, and all major units and factories have established nurseries to send children to the nurseries for management. (Mainly "public family members" and large factories have this benefit, and the folks also get it by themselves)
Increase investment in hospitals, including setting up special maternal and infant health care centers, training and sponsoring rural midwives, and at the same time promoting disinfection to increase the survival rate of women and infants.
...
Yan Changwu's livelihood policy involves all aspects, a lot of length, and it took him a long time to talk about it.
After he put it forward, after everyone discussed and made a feasibility inference, how much manpower and funds would be needed, then returned to him, and finally formed a decision.
"The second thing is to strengthen publicity!"
"I plan to set up a newspaper, called Southeast Daily, so that businessmen can advertise on it to subsidize the distribution fee." Yan Changwu said, he didn't hesitate to talk about money.
"The Southeast Daily News promotes good things and criticizes bad things. Of course, they cannot affect our governance. It also allows everyone to see the scenery of other places."
Everyone thinks, that's how it should be.
There is no contrast and no harm. Through comparison, let everyone know that the current life is hard-won so as to support the governance of the Southeastern Government.
"The third thing, the military must not relax in one day!"
"The world is not peaceful. We may have the power to overthrow us inside. Hong Maofan looks at us and wants our white sugar!" Yan Changwu screamed. The "sweet business" of the Southeast Mansion is indeed sweet, with white sugar, brown sugar, and rock sugar. Adding milk sugar and rum are also made from sugar cane, earning more than a million taels of silver a year, and advancing toward two million taels of silver!
In order to protect its own interests, the Southeast Mansion builds battleships, makes guns and cannons, trains troops, and supplies logistics...
Establish a more detailed training program, exercise closer to actual combat, build a dedicated supply ship for logistics, and strengthen management of logistics warehouses.
"I'll give you a research topic here." Yan Changwu greeted, "How to avoid the separatism of the domination!"
Everyone's heart beat as he heard him say: "I've been to Ningyuan and Phi Island, take Phi Island for example, they are here..."
Someone immediately opened the map, which is relatively close to the real map!
This is the result of the hard work of the hydrological exploration team in the fleet. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Yan Changwu is willing to spend money on this, which is more advantageous for combat.
"Look at the location of Phi Island. On the side of the Yalu River, it is very important to threaten Houjin's soft abdomen. It is very important to contain Houjin so that Houjin cannot use all his forces in Ning Jinyuan. Therefore, Phi Island guard Mao Wenlong contributed a lot. !"
"However!" Yan Changwu said: "Mao Wenlong is far away from the mainland, and he has become a big tail. On Phi Island, he does not have a supervising army. He has the final say on everything. Not long after I was on Phi Island, I heard a lot. His affairs, for example, those who are close to him are delicious and easy to use, while other soldiers have a miserable life, and his army and civilians are seriously hydrated, that is, they pretend to be paid and kill some people. Moisture is to take the lead (no supervising army, this is inevitable)..."
"Everyone said, what should I do?" Yan Changwu asked.
The soldiers did not dare to speak, and the financial officer Chen Hebin said, "Dilemma!"
"Yes, there is a dilemma! Some people say that since he is so important, then satisfy him, don't touch him, as long as he has a record. Some people say that you must not indulge, otherwise everyone will learn how to fight. , Which one is not important, and there is no need to supervise the army, how will the superiors control the army in the future?"
"Well, don't rush to reply, everyone will treat it as a research topic and discuss it. There is no need to rush to provide answers. Our Southeastern government has not yet reached this point."
...
Yan Changwu went out and got a lot of thoughts. After being enriched, many of them have been implemented, which has improved the economy, military, and people's livelihood of the Southeast government to a higher level.
He thought it was very good, so he implemented the "inspection" system, advocating that military and political leaders read more and think about it. Every year, a report is handed in, and those military and political leaders call it "homework"!
