Chapter 608 You can't drive us away The establishment of the Qiongzhou Council also means that Quan Xu has explored a way of expansion against the stubborn landlord class.To put it simply, it is a three-pronged approach: political abandonment, economic crackdown, and policy sanctions.On the night of April 24, the patriarch of the Huang clan, Huang Zongchang, came to Quanxu to surrender with the Huang family's 1.63 million mu land deed.One million and 300,000 acres of land, as one tael of silver, was sold to Quanxu.In exchange, Quan Xu promised not to kill anyone in the Huang clan, but there were prerequisites, they would be punished if they broke the law and committed crimes.The Huang family donated 1.6 million taels of silver to Quanxu, as the infrastructure fund of Qiongzhou Prefecture, the Huang clan established the Huang Canning Factory and Huang Ji Transportation Co., Ltd., and the Huang family took out 30% of the shares, which were purchased by the merchants of the Liaodong Business Alliance, and other landlords, when they saw Huang Zongchang bow to Quanxu, they also adopted the same strategy.However, not everyone will be so aware of strength, and there are still people who insist on unwavering, such as the Li family in Danzhou, the capital of Qiongzhou, the Li family of Danzhou, like the whole family, were all in the Southern Song Dynasty.Li Shi refused to cooperate, and Quan Xu had an obsession with killing their whole family.So, Quanxu fulfilled them.On April 26 of the seventh year of Chongzhen, that is, the day of the establishment of the Qiongzhou Parliamentary Office, the current speaker of the Parliamentary Office, that is, the former prefect Ni Yuanxing, announced that the Danzhou Li clan had concealed taxes, and since the third year of orthodoxy, a total of 7.8 million taels of taxes had been concealed.How did this figure come about, Quan Xu didn't know, but he knew that the Danzhou Li family was far less financially strong than the Huang family, seven million and 800,000 taels, and the Huang family would also go bankrupt, not to mention the Li family.Although the speaker of the Qiongzhou Council is Ni Yuanjun, in fact the helmsman is Zhou Junze, who was born in Liaodong, and this Zhou Jun is the eldest son of Zhou Hongru, the financial treasurer of Quanji, and he can be regarded as Quanxu's direct iron.Zhou Jun was as young as Li Xin in Luzon, only twenty-five years old, which was too young for their rank.It's not important to be young, it's not important if you don't have experience, anyway, Quan Xu is still young, and he has the opportunity to try and make mistakes, with more and more students from Jinti Academy and Liaodong University, he will have more talents to use in the future.Regarding education, Quan Xu was originally a grass platform, the so-called Jinti Academy, which is just equivalent to the current primary school, because it is where Quan Xu started, and his status is a bit special, just like Zhou Junze, he is a senior student of Jinti Academy, and Yuan Zongdi, Hua An, etc. are classmates, and they went to work earlier than Zhou Junze.In the future, it will not be so easy for students in the Liaodong system, and it will become more difficult for them to be promoted, and the graduates of Liaodong University will need to go through the town, county, and state levels of government observation, that is, internships, rather than directly coming up to appoint important officials like Zhou Junze.On April 29 of the seventh year of Chongzhen, that is, three days later, Ni Yuanhui, in the name of the prefect of Qiongzhou, raided the Li family in Danzhou, so the direct descendants of the Li family were exiled to Mindanao Island in southern Luzon.Carry out waste utilization.So far, Mindanao is not Quanxu's territory, because Luzon has not been completely stabilized, Quanxu has not entered into the occupation of Mindanao, but this is meat in the mouth, as long as you want to eat it, you can eat it at any time.With the collapse and bankruptcy of the Li clan in Danzhou, the problem in the entire Qiongzhou is that only the Miao and Li people remain, which are about ten or two hundred thousand people, and even Ni Yuanhui, who has been the prefect of Qiongzhou for three years, does not know how many Li and Miao people there are in Qiongzhou.In later generations, more than 93.5 percent of the Li people were distributed on the island, and more than one million people lived on Hainan Island, although of course there are certainly not so many people now.Now most of them are in the Wuzhi Mountains, and this problem is also a major problem for Quan Xu.Tens of thousands of workers have risen early in the morning and worked late at night, setting fire to thorn bushes, cutting down trees, clearing wood and stones, leveling the land, building canals and roads, and building factories.Of course, many immigrants from Henan, Shandong, and even Shaanxi are doing the same job, and these are some bankrupt peasants who originally went to Dengzhou, and they were ready to board the ship in Dengzhou, go to the rich Liaodong, and go to Hainan under the bewitchment of the Dengzhou immigration department.Even without immigration, the per capita cultivated land in Qiongzhou is about fifteen acres, and such fields can barely guarantee that they will not starve to death, but it is impossible to live and nourish like Liaodong.The distribution of arable land in Qiongzhou Prefecture is mainly based on the families of soldiers in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and ordinary people and some immigrants live by work, regardless of whether they want to or not, and they have no room for bargaining.Although it is said that about fifteen acres of cultivated land can allow Quan Xu to pull the hearts of the people of Qiongzhou Mansion over, the problem is that fifteen acres can last at most two generations of food and clothing, which Quan Xu is unwilling.If the people of Qiongzhou want more land, they can go to Luzon, where they can allocate land for free, and they can also allocate houses for free."
Master Hou, Liaodong Jiannu is faintly restless......
Quan Xu nodded: "Solve the problem of the Li and Miao tribes, and I will go back!"
”The whole family army has more than 100,000 horses in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and these horses have greatly deterred those landlords, otherwise, with the temperament of the landlords, they will rebel, even if they dare not rebel openly, they will also point the bandits they have captive as the troublemaker.During this time, the main task of the whole family army was to carry out a dragnet to exterminate the bandits in Qiongzhou Mansion, no matter who was in the background, they were wiped out and contributed to the infrastructure construction of Qiongzhou Mansion.Since Quanxu's occupation of Qiongzhou in February, it has only been three months now, and Liaodong Capital has built five seafood processing factories around Qiongzhou, two salt pans that can produce 3,000 tons of salt per month.Two iron mines were also found, but unfortunately no coal was found, so they could only use charcoal to make steel, which was relatively inefficient, and Quan Xu also gave up and prepared to develop the steel resources of Qiongzhou in the future.Two sugar manufacturing plants, and with the farmers of 600,000 acres of sugarcane plantations, signed a protection and supply agreement, as one of Quanxu's old buddies, Ma Yinghu of the whole family army has been willing to retire, he has become Taiwan's sheriff, which does not need to fight, the sheriff only has a leading group and a Jingwei Division.Mainly responsible for training the militia and mobilizing the militia, Ma Yinghu retired from the army, it was really not that Quan Xu didn't give him a chance, but everyone has their own ambitions, not everyone wants to be a marquis and pay homage to the general, and some people like their wives and hot pits.The second application for retirement of a senior general submitted to Quan Xu was Chen Yongshun, who, like Pang Xingwang of the Marine Brigade in Luzon, made the same mistake as his daughter-in-law by finding two Japanese girls who were more than 1.7 meters tall on the Japanese island of Kyushu.After being found by Shi Lang, he gave it to Chen Yongshun.Chen Yongshun doesn't dislike it, the average height of the Japanese is about 1.49 meters, and the height of a woman of 1.7 meters is simply two white cranes standing in the middle of a group of platypus, no wonder they are all twenty years old and can't find their in-laws, if you change you, are you willing to marry a tall girl who is more than 20 centimeters taller than yourself, and if you want to slap your feet, you have to move a stool to pad your feet, and you may be slapped by her to the wall.Anyway, the Japanese man didn't want to, so he cheapened Chen Yongshun.Quanxu's regulations are like this, it is okay to marry a Japanese woman as a wife, or a Korean woman if you are willing to marry a Korean woman, even if it is a Western horse, you can do it if you are willing, but you must quit the active service of the whole family army.If it is a civilian official, then it is necessary to resign, this is the rule, everything must be done at a price, if this aspect is not controlled, the whole family army can create tens of thousands of mixed races a year.Chen Yongshun became the sheriff of the Qiongzhou Prefecture, responsible for the management and training of the militia in the Qiongzhou Prefecture.Of course, now he is the largest foreman on the construction site, responsible for managing the infrastructure, Qiongzhou Mansion is not like Hainan Province in later generations, now there is not even a decent road, when it rains, it is difficult to move an inch.On the first day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Quan Xu attended a closed-door meeting of the Qiongzhou Council, which was attended by more than 100 tribal leaders of the Li and Miao ethnic groups.Originally, these leaders did not dare to participate in this meeting, they were afraid that the Han people would harm them, however, Quan Xu directly told them that as long as they dared not to participate, the cannon would wait.With the deterrence of the whole family army, these leaders, first explained the aftermath, just like the wind and the water are cold, and came to participate in this meeting.The topic of the meeting was how to deal with their problems.At the beginning of the meeting, Quan Xu spoke directly: "I really don't know, is it right or wrong to make this decision by myself, in this era, maybe this is the only choice?"
As for what kind of difficulties will be encountered in future generations, I will rely on the wisdom of the next generation to solve them, and in this era, this is the only thing I can do. ”Speaking of this, Quan Xu's eyes fell on those Li tribal leaders: "Do you want the power in your own hands, or do you want to live a rich life!"
”Although the Li nationality is divided into more than a dozen Han surnames Huang, Dong, Zhou, and Liu, in fact, they have their own language and customs, and they invariably look at Dong Se in Danzhou.Color, just a transliteration, in fact, this means orphan.He could speak some Chinese, so he stammered, "Master Hou......
What do you mean?
”Quan Xu said coldly: "My meaning is very simple, there are no two days, there are no two lords in the country, in Qiongzhou Mansion, there can only be one official mansion, only one law can be enforced, you hide in the mountains, do not accept the jurisdiction of the government, then you can no longer stay in Qiongzhou Mansion!"
”Dong Se's face changed greatly: "We have lived in Qiongzhou all our lives, we have been here since more than a thousand years ago, and our ancestors have lived here for generations, you can't drive us away!"
”"Yes!"
Quan Xu said: "You all go down the mountain, make up all the people, the Qiongzhou Council has jurisdiction over three counties in three states, a number of towns, there will be ten households for a chief, ten for a guarantee, set up a chief, ten for a town, set up a town guard, a town to build a castle, each town will build a primary school, a county will set up a middle school, Qiongzhou will set up Qiongzhou University, all school-age children, must go to school, school can be free, including room and board!"
