The new government of the Song Dynasty had to ease its attitude towards the land occupied by the gentry group. It would adopt a voluntary redemption method to buy back the land from these people at high prices, and then sell it to the people who need it in installments, thus gradually turning the land into the private property of most farmers. At the same time, it would also have to establish relatively checks and balance rules to prevent large-scale land annexation in the future in a fair manner.

The consideration of this is mainly for the rationality of the rules. The land of the gentry is not obtained through force and robbery like bureaucrats. They are also saved by saving money from generation to generation. It cannot be said that whoever has more land is a bad person. This theory conflicts with the rules that Hong Tao wants to establish, and it doesn't make sense.

Since private ownership is to be fully established, it is necessary to ensure that private property is not violated. This is the basis of the rules and cannot be destroyed at any time. Even the government cannot do so in the name of national justice. If land reform is carried out by robbery, it will be a failure even if it succeeds. Because this will leave a very bad idea for future generations, making them think that the government is omnipotent and can get what they want. When encountering the same thing in the future, they will do this like Xiao Gui and Cao, and call it tradition.

On the specific issue of redemption, Hong Tao was preparing to empty the treasury of the Song Dynasty, and most of the money and grain would flow into the hands of these gentry classes. Although doing so seemed to be a loss to the government, it was not. In the long run, the government, gentry, and the people would be beneficiaries.

Gentlemen have money, but they cannot arbitrarily merge land. In addition, the new government strongly encourages investment in industry and commerce and promulgates various tax reduction and support policies. The money in their hands will soon become the start-up capital for the inland industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty. With these funds, inland industry and commerce can also develop, the lives of the people will rise, and the government can receive taxes, which will win the three-win situation.

The government's money is placed in the treasury, and it has no effect except for public facilities construction, government expenses and national defense. Now the new government does not have to worry about national defense. As long as the Jinhe Empire does not go north, there will be no enemies around the Song Dynasty. Without enemies, there will be no need to maintain too many troops, especially old troops such as the wing soldiers and the village soldiers. They were basically cut off the plenary session, and then they went from eating holes in government finances to the main force that contributed to the country.

Hong Tao has already thought about it. The first batch of people who fill the northern population are these old troops who have been removed. Those who are willing to respond to the call of the new government and go to the north to start a business by themselves, the new government welcomes them and gives priority to government loans and subsidies. Those who are unwilling to rely on themselves and want to suck blood on the country, don’t blame the new government for being cruel. Where the conditions are harsh, where the land is barren, and where no one loves to go, these people will be forcibly formed into a farm reclamation corps to shine and heat the land that the country needs most.

Running and resisting are hopeless. There is no revelation here in Hongtao, only bullets and artillery shells. With the power of sea and river transportation, there are not many places in the inland Song Dynasty that the new army cannot arrive quickly, and the new army no longer relies on the number of people and morale as long as the logistics supply can keep up and be commanded by the officers of the Marine Corps, the mob is no longer an uncontrollable term.

Without the big burden of redundant soldiers, the financial foundation of the Song Dynasty, which was not too thin, would be even more prosperous.

The new government didn't have to worry about the money for public facilities construction. As soon as the relevant negotiations between the Jinhe Empire and the Song Dynasty were over, a large number of imperial merchants with funds would gather in the inland areas of the Song Dynasty and use their money to build urgently needed cities, roads, mines, factories and water conservancy facilities, which saved a lot of money.

Now only the expenses of the new government are left, and this part of Qian Hongtao did not want to come out, because he was about to carry out drastic reforms to the original official system of the Song Dynasty and completely solve the problem of redundant officials. For a conqueror, Hong Tao had innate advantages over any emperor in history to solve this problem. The reason is very simple. He held the gun in his hands, and there was no need to ask anyone whether he was happy or not. He was willing to say and disperse his family, and he was unhappy to confiscate the family, and then took the huge amount of property confiscated from these officials' homes to the national treasury to pay for the expenses of the new government.

It is most suitable to deal with the bureaucratic group Hong Tao himself, raiding houses, killing people, and confiscating these tasks to the Indian soldiers in the Marine Corps. In addition, the five thousand army borrowed from the Jinhe Empire, who dares to say no? In fact, it will not give you a chance to speak.

It is not easy to deal with the gentry group. These people cannot be killed all of them, and Hong Tao has no time to talk to them and is not patient even if he has time. Therefore, he must find someone who is familiar with the Song Dynasty, who is flexible, has a certain reputation, and has certain political skills to do this job instead of him. After thinking about it, this candidate is Wen Hao. Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan are not suitable for this job. They lack the knowledge of Wen Hao, and their foundation in the Song Dynasty is too deep, so it is easy to recite this good scripture wrongly.

Wen Hao is different. He did not have any family power in the inland Song Dynasty, or he did not have any deep roots in the Song Dynasty court, and it can even be said that there were more enemies than friends. At the same time, he held a very high position in the court. The most important thing is that he knew himself better than any official in the Song Dynasty. This understanding will not only not cause trouble for him, but will make him more restrained. As for whether he will make trouble for himself in the future, Hong Tao is not sure, so he can take one step at a time. At worst, he can shoot him.

As for the same thing, as long as you don’t look back, be afraid of your hands and feet, and don’t regard the Song Dynasty as something that must belong to you, then no one has to be afraid of. The worst result is to go back to North America and continue to be a local emperor, and there is nothing unacceptable!

"Your Majesty, please tell me, even if you ask me to kill the official family, and then you will correct me, I will go." Wen Hao had already killed Hong Tao countless times in his heart, and he had used the torture of the world all over the world. He had reached this point, and he still hypocritically asked himself if he wanted to listen, would he not listen?

"Oh... this idea is quite creative. I'll write it down for you first and keep it for later. Now, you have finished reading this item and tell me how confident you are. I can remind you, don't lie to me on this issue. If you don't do it well, you won't even have a chance to die, and I will make you unable to die." Hong Tao really didn't think of letting Wen Hao be a scapegoat, but now with this idea, if you really can't deal with the Emperor Lizong family in the end, this method is really good.

"...Your Majesty wants me to be the husband!" The document Hong Tao gave Wen Hao was not thin, but Wen Hao read it very quickly. After reading it, his hand holding the document was trembling.

"...You really dare to compete! Although Wang Anshi is a loser, he seems to be much nobler than you, right? But don't say that the work you do is a bit similar." Hong Tao thought for several seconds, and finally remembered who this absolute husband was, Wang Anshi, a reformer of the Northern Song Dynasty! Hong Tao didn't know much about this famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and of course he was not qualified to comment on his right and wrong, merits and demerits. But no matter whether Wang Anshi was right or wrong, success or failure, Wen Hao was too far away from others.

"I, why would I not be as good as him? If it weren't for your Majesty, you kept blocking me, my achievements might not be worse than Wang Banshan." After being humiliated by Hong Tao again and again, Wen Hao's self-esteem was really unbearable, and he forgot about the taste of sea water.

"Even if you become an emperor, future generations will not say hello to you. Even if Wang Anshi fails in the reform, future generations will remember him. Do you know why?" Hong Tao never talked in depth with Wen Hao. This time he planned to make an exception. Anyway, he is still some distance away from Lin'an City, and he is idle.

"I don't have the literary talent of Jing Gong..." Wen Hao just said something angry. Without Hong Tao's correction, he himself knew that he could not compare with Wang Anshi.

"Wenqi? If you want to disgust me so much, do you believe it or not, I will pour you two more buckets of sea water? Do I have literary talent? I am already fifty-seven this year. Have you read my poems or listened to me Scriptures? There are some people in the Song Dynasty who like to read them all. Even if you secretly read them from behind your back, you will sneer at the books I wrote in front of you. But if you go to the Jinhe Empire, go to Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Quanzhou to ask, what do you think of me in the Jinhe Empire? "Hong Tao hates the word "literacy the most. He talks about literary talent with a science student. Isn't this a swear person?
