Just when Kong Yinzhi, the "Sage of the Great Qing Dynasty", left his hometown in Qufu to visit Yanzhou to visit Shi Kefa, the Minister of War in Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cixiang was summoning the elites and scholars of the Second House of Denglai in the Fujun Generalissimo's Mansion in Dengzhou.
He didn't know about the "confiscation of the Kong family farm" at this time because he had not issued an order against the Kong family.
He has not yet taken the time to hold Kong Yinzhi accountable for being a third minister. The top priority is to reorganize the Denglai Second Mansion into an anti-capitalist base!
As for the matter of rectifying the two houses of Denglai, it seems to others that it is very borderless. It seems that the only way to achieve success is to kill all the landlords and their wealth. However, Li Yan gave him a clever trick - to use the Enke examination method to find out all the big landowners in Denglai's second prefecture, and then let them go to the three prefectures and ten counties of Denglai to self-govern, leaving only Penglai County ( The capital of Dengzhou is located) under the direct jurisdiction of Su Guansheng, the governor of Denglai.
At the same time, the families of the local tyrants and evil gentry leading the three prefectures and ten counties in Denglai were detained in the iron-forged city of Dengzhou and protected.
This is to change your life and return to your homeland!
As for the tens of thousands of acres of land that the Kong family just lost, it was all land located on the territory of Denglai Seven Guards - these lands of the Kong family were not confiscated because of their surname Kong, but during the process of rectifying the Denglai Guards. Lost by Jun Tianjun...
According to Zhu Cixiang's order, after the 30,000 new troops recruited from the Seven Denglai Guards arrived in Dengzhou, the Generalissimo's Mansion of the Fu Army reorganized, trained and assessed them. The purpose of training is to turn them into combat-ready soldiers, and the assessment is to select available officers.
The assessment method is very simple, it is a martial arts competition! There are two, one is proficient in writing; the other is martial arts. The former determines the qualifications, and the latter determines the superiority. No matter where you are from, no matter what official position you have held before, everyone can sign up to participate - of course, the exam will not be in vain, and you will be an official after passing the exam!
According to Zhu Cixiang's decree, the military attachés of the Seven Denglai Guards will no longer be hereditary, but will be selected through martial arts competitions and military merit. If the military attachés previously appointed cannot pass the assessment, they will all be transferred to serve in the Military Affairs Department of the Generalissimo's Office. If they can't even do errands in the Military Affairs Department, then they will have to go home and eat old rice...
After this competition, the officer corps of the Seven Guards of Denglai will be formed - the new seven-guard officer corps will not have as many people as before. One guard now is equivalent to defeating the new army. With one association, and one less than one battalion, the total strength is around 1,400. Each guard has three stations, which are equivalent to the new army's battalions. The configuration of officers at the guard and post levels is the same as that of the New Army's Union Battalion.
After the formation of the officer corps, about 10,000 recruits who were willing to stay in Denglai Second Palace were organized into the Seven Guards according to their respective military status.
After that, Zhu Cixi issued an order to equalize the land among the seven guards!
According to this "land equalization order", the land of the Seven Guards of Denglai will be divided equally as occupational fields. Regardless of the official title, each person will be entitled to 200 acres. This position can be inherited, provided that the heir can continue to serve in the military.
After receiving 200 acres of work land, these Seventh Guards sergeants need to serve during slack times and wartime, and they must also bear part of the military rations during service (usually three months of military rations are required), and must also provide their own armor and weapon.
In addition, the soldiers in the guard station who granted the land did not receive military pay, but they could still receive rewards during wartime.
As for the officers of the Seventh Guards, because they have to serve all year round, they can receive the same military pay and military rations as the officers of the New Army. However, their military pay is two levels lower than that of New Army officers of the same level, and they also need to provide their own horses and equipment.
After the land equalization order was issued, the newly appointed Seven Guards Officer Corps led their respective subordinates back to the station, and then, under the supervision and help of the officers sent by the Grand Marshal's Palace, began to equalize land on their own - the method of equalizing land was very simple. , that is, based on the Qiwei land files stored in the Beiwa Dusi Mansion, the land was divided into 200 acres per soldier (official), and the excess was recorded in the accounts of the Qiwei Command Department.
As for people other than the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Guards, no one is allowed to occupy the land of the Seventh Guards! Even the children of the Seventh Guards who serve in the new army to overcome difficulties are not allowed to occupy land in the Seventh Guards. They have sufficient military pay. If they have achieved military exploits or served long enough, they are also eligible for land allocation, but they will not be allocated land in Denglai Seven Guards.
Of course, only ownership is redistributed now, and tenants who rent land can continue to rent land - most of these tenants originally had military status, but now they all have civilian status and are no longer Qiwei military households.
Right now, land equalization in Denglai Seven Guards and Twenty-one is in progress, and a large number of land owned by non-military households has been confiscated! The victims were not only predators like the Kong family in Qufu, but also many local landowners in Denglai.
Some of them, like Zhang Boren, a talented scholar from Gaomi, had passed the civil examination of Denglianke and were now waiting for the summons of Prince Zhu.
Because of the ongoing land redistribution in the 21st Denglai Seven Guards Institute, the group of Laizhou Gaomi talents who were waiting to be summoned were a little uneasy.
Some of them have already lost their land in Lingshan and Aoshan, and some are worried that the same thing will happen again in Gaomi.
If the land in Gaomi is all allocated to warriors, what will they, the scholars, do?
"The talented scholar from Xuan Gaomi County is here to see you!"
A rich voice interrupted the thoughts of the high-density talents waiting in the courtyard. Zhang Boren, who was wearing a jade-colored student uniform and a square scarf on his head and had a handsome face, straightened his clothes and took the first step. Walking towards the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion - he is the number one talent in Gaomi County!
This time, the Denglian Ke Literary Examination was a little weird. There was only one unanswered question in the exam, and there was no Jinshi or Juren title. Instead, he was given the title of "talented scholar".
In addition, when releasing the rankings, a county-by-county approach was adopted.
There are twenty or thirty people in each county who are selected as talented people, and among them there is one talented person who is the top talent. They are all the children of the top wealthy families in the county. I don’t know how they are selected?
Zhang Boren and his family are the largest landowners in Gaomi County, owning tens of thousands of acres of land, and have more than a thousand tenants farming for his family.
"Zhang Boren, the high-density student, respectfully invites Prince Fujun, Jin An!"
After entering the lobby, Zhang Dacai followed the etiquette, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Cixiang, who was sitting high in the imperial uniform, and announced his name loudly.
When Zhu Cixiang heard his name, he suddenly said "Oh", and then said in a tone of approval and appreciation: "You are Zhang Boren! Good! The article is well written, and the methods proposed are indeed good. What a talent!"
ah? Is your article well written? Zhang Dacai was stunned. He didn't think that his policy question was well written.
Moreover, after the natural exam, he recited the article he wrote to his father, who was a successful candidate in the exam. The old man shook his head and said that he would definitely fail the exam. And Zhang Boren himself felt that the article was not good...the questions in this exam were too difficult! No one can do well in the exam!
But it turned out that he was the first in high school in high school... Now the prince keeps saying that his articles are well written. Could it be a mistake?
"The student has little talent and little knowledge, and his writing is mediocre. If he is able to win, it is really His Highness's fault for falling in love..."
"You don't have to be so humble," Zhu Cixiang smiled, "Your article is good, but it is easier said than done! Only by integrating knowledge and action can one be the true pillar of the country."
In fact, Zhu Cihong didn't remember Zhang Boren's article at all. Even Ma Shiying and Lu Zhenfei couldn't answer the questions he asked, let alone these country scholars?
What do they understand about protracted war?
In fact, the result of this Denglian Science and Technology Examination has nothing to do with the quality of the article, but has something to do with the candidates' wealth!
After the candidates from Denglai and Denglai prefectures registered, Zhu Cixiang sent Jin Yiwei to find out the situation of each family. Those with a large family were in high school, while those with small families failed.
The reason for this is not that Zhu Cixiang dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but that he must pass this Enke exam, organize all the powerful families in Denglai, and then rely on them to organize a large-scale team training!
Unlike the situation of military guards, most of the land in the 11 counties of Denglai is privately owned. If you want to equalize land, it will be unfair in name and inconsistent with words. Moreover, the people's land is too involved. If the land is equalized rashly, it will become Li Zicheng's second best, and all the property-owning classes in the world will be Zhu Cihong's enemies.
Therefore, the reorganization of the three states and eleven counties in Denglai can only be carried out without touching the land ownership system.
In Denglai Qiwei, they were collected, while in three prefectures and eleven counties, they were released.
