Chapter 2843: Change the emperor again

After years of training by Shen Long, those refugees and talents selected from Nanyang Chinese have been able to shoulder their responsibilities. They handled government affairs more fluently than those of the Qing Dynasty officials who could only care.
At the local level, it broke the unbreakable boundary between officials and local officials, gave those officials who were familiar with the local situation a way to rise, and at the same time cleared out the slick and corrupt people among the officials. With this combination of grace and power, the local officials The forces have all belonged to the new dynasty.
As for the problem of local power and power, the most troubled local officials during the feudal period, it was easier to deal with than the Manchu court. At least these people have not had time to get in touch with the new dynasty. , Tax collection and other work, can only try to incite the people to oppose.
It is a pity that Shen Long’s working experience in rural areas is very rich. He has been trained in this area for a long time. The strict internal system prevents local officials from accepting bribes from powerful local officials. Some of them have experienced professional training in land and tax collection. Talented personnel, together with the officials who returned to the new dynasty, and the newly-built police force, quickly resolved the local counterattack.
The direct canon of punishment was overdone, and their land was distributed to the local people. After several tycoons who had been in the area for hundreds of years were uprooted, the whole Jiangnan experienced the ability and determination of the new dynasty, although the scholars were still private. It is rumored that the new dynasty does not know how to win over scholar-bureaucrats. It is not a long-term solution, but at least now, few people dared to object clearly.
After getting the land to support themselves, the people in Jiangnan gradually increased their desire to join the army. After the education of local officials, they already understood that to join the army was to protect their land, and Shen Long's salary was indeed not low, so soon Just in Jiangnan pulled up a huge number of troops.
Of course, not everyone accepts them. In the process of selecting soldiers, they strictly abide by the teachings of Shen Long. Those slick and speculators are excluded one after another, and only the honest and honest people are accepted. Knowledgeable scholars all talked privately that the new dynasty used Qi Nantang's strategy of selecting soldiers.
After the recruits enter the barracks, they will not immediately be pulled to the front line to fight, but they will first carry out strict military training. The serious discipline makes these farmers who have just left their hometown a little uncomfortable, but after the first meal, even if they are They don’t want to leave when they hit them with sticks. They can eat meat every day. What a good life, the landlords in their hometown are not so rich, right? As long as you can eat more meat for a few days, it is worth it even if you are exhausted!
If only relying on pigs, cattle and sheep, Shen Long would definitely not be able to provide so much meat to soldiers, but he still has a large navy in his hands. Now the water power of Manchu is not worth mentioning. Western colonists still focus on doing business. , Shen Long and their cooperation was quite pleasant, so the navy that has no combat missions for the time being can just send out whaling, on the one hand, they can exercise their ocean-going capabilities, on the other hand, they can provide a lot of meat.
To this end, Shen Long also deliberately built several canning factories in coastal ports to process and store whale meat. In addition, whale skin, whale bones, whale oil, and ambergris produced by sperm whales can all be processed into valuable Commodities, these can bring considerable income to the new dynasty.
With money, you can do some things that really change this ancient country. Shen Long has built schools in various places, which immediately attracted the attention of scholars. In their view, the development of culture and education is the foundation of the imperial court’s long-term ability. But after they went to school, they fell into confusion.
Those books of enlightenment are nothing more. Anyway, they are only used for reading and literacy, but the higher grades teach not orthodox Confucianism, but improved Confucianism. When they first came into contact with these books, they felt that they were very much like the prevailing Confucianism. It's different. It is regarded as heresy, but after reading it carefully, it makes sense, and the writing is rigorous and difficult to refute.
They knew that these books were originally compiled by Shen Long in the world of "Xiu Chun Dao", and they have paid a lot of great Confucian efforts at the end of the Ming Dynasty to cater to the trend of transformation from agricultural society to industrial society, and they have been constantly revised over the years. Perfect, how can it be defeated by just a few glances?
Pure scholars do not like these books, but those merchants and workshop owners are like treasures. They faintly feel that if the new dynasty seizes the world, they really want to govern the country according to the principles in this book, perhaps for thousands of years. The status of the four people in agriculture, industry, and commerce will be completely changed.
In addition to building schools, Shen Long also used a lot of money to carry out water conservancy treatment projects. Before he won the world, he spent money on such places. The people in Jiangnan once again opened their eyes. Some said that Shen Long was too hasty, while others did not. Take the example of the last years of the Warring States Period to refute that Qiangqin relied on Dujiangyan and Zheng Guoqu to have the capital to sweep the six countries in Shandong~EbookFREE.me~ Jiangnan was originally a land of fish and rice, and after doing this, it can create countless more fertile fields. This is the dignified method.
Regardless of whether they can get used to the policies of the new dynasty or not, they can understand when they see these things. This king Fang is not a grass bandit who knows nothing. He is a real hero with the world in mind. In addition, the army of the new dynasty has won successively. The seeds planted by the officials of the new dynasty had a good harvest. These scholars finally realized that maybe he could really win the world, right?
So gradually, the wind changed. Some people began to persuade Shen Long to open the imperial examination to recruit scholars. Shen Long readily agreed, but instead of adopting a stereotyped method of recruiting scholars, he referred to the method of civil service examinations of later generations and used basic common sense and policy theory to select talents. After these scholars objected to Shen Long's resolute attitude, they could only submit.
The first imperial examination of the new dynasty was held in Jiangning. Hundreds of talents were admitted, but they were not immediately granted official positions. Instead, they were sent to schools for intensive training. Shen Long took the talents he cultivated to give them personally. They attend classes so that they really understand what it is to deal with government affairs.
These scholars couldn't help but complain again and again. It seems that being an official in the new dynasty is much more difficult than Man Qing. They want to hand over official duties to the clerk as before, and it is impossible to enjoy the leisure time by reciting poems by themselves; but giving up and reluctant to give up , Can only bite his teeth and continue to study hard, hoping to pass the exam and officially take office.
　　 While it was flourishing in the south, there was something wrong with the court in the north. The new emperor Yong Yan, who had just been enthroned for two years, died of sudden illness. How long has it been before the Qing Dynasty will be replaced by a new emperor.
