The first step in land reform is to nationalize the land that originally belonged to bureaucratic groups, gentry groups, and large landlords through forced confiscation, government forced redemption and negotiation redemption, and then rent it to local people without land and the first batch of new immigrants who have migrated according to the population.

The reason why we should take the lead in carrying out land reform on the Shandong Peninsula is exactly the same as the establishment of nine special zones, which is simple!

The Shandong Peninsula has always been an occupied area by the Mongols. There is no land for the Song Dynasty bureaucrats and gentry. The only resistance is the local northern tyrants and landlords. It is relatively difficult to nationalize the land and the impact is also small. In addition, the Royal Navy and the Song Dynasty New Army are stationed in Dengzhou Port and Mizhou Port. The construction site of Highway 1 passes through here. In the name of building highways, you can start preliminary redemption work to explore the attitudes of the locals.

Land reform is easy to say, but if it is really implemented, it is difficult to implement it. The wealthy landlords have a great influence among the local people. Even if they rely on the deterrence of the army, they dare not make any obvious resistance, but the local people are not very brave to cooperate with the work of the land reform working group. They dare not rent the land allocated to them by the imperial court, mainly because they are afraid that the working group will be retaliated by the wealthy and landlords after they leave.

At this time, Hong Tao's advantage of choosing Shandong Peninsula for land reform experiments was revealed. It doesn't matter if the local people dare not rent it. The engineers who built roads were brought by their families. The new imperial court of the Song Dynasty also promised to give them land and help them build houses, so there is no shortage of people who need land, and the families of the engineers were the beneficiaries of the first batch of land reform.

The locals dare not rent, they dare to rent. After finally having their own land and home, a happy life is right in front of them. These people who were originally the army of the Song Dynasty will definitely take good care of them. In their eyes, the local wealthy families and landlords are not bad. They will fight with anyone who dares to rob. Don’t look at them fighting the golden people, and the Mongolians are not good at it, but they are not ambiguous about making weapons and fighting. After simple military training, they are not afraid of such low-intensity battles, more victory or loss.

Provoking the masses to fight against the masses is a powerful tool for land reform that Hong Tao experimented on the Shandong Peninsula. Once the contradiction is transferred from the government to the people and the people, the government's work will be easy to carry out. As long as it is not illegal, the government can relax a little supervision of the people to be encouraged, and strictly enforce the law on the people to be cracked down. It not only cracks down on local opposition forces, but also takes a fair, reasonable and good attitude towards the government. You may not understand and do not want to, but you can only fight against the government within the scope of the law and beyond this category. Don't blame the government for taking ruthless measures against you. This is not only a land reform, but also a good opportunity to popularize new laws.

If you plan to not abide by the new rules set by the Song Dynasty court, then it will be even better. Whoever dares to touch this red line, the Royal Marines or the Song Dynasty army will soon appear at your doorstep and uproot your family from here reasonably and legally. Just like the punishment method of the Song Dynasty court in the south, the main culprit and direct family members are all hanged and the body is not allowed to be collected; the entire family is all over the border, and the mines are in urgent need of such a prisoner with the lowest treatment to do all kinds of dangerous work. Most of them will die on the construction site. This is also a disgraceful means for Hong Tao to exterminate hostile forces under the legal mask. Although it is not glorious, it is legal. Hong Tao is using himself as a teaching material to teach the people of the Song Dynasty a legal class.

According to Hong Tao's estimate, by next summer, the land reform work on the Shandong Peninsula will basically be completed. At that time, more than 1,000 main members of the land reform working group here can summarize the experience of land reform work on the Shandong Peninsula, and then use them as the backbone to absorb those who are willing to contribute to the new imperial court and get rewards, form a larger land reform army, and begin to popularize the vast northern areas north of the Huaihe River. At that time, the southern prefectures and routes were basically calmed down, and they could draw some of the new army of the Song Dynasty to go north and use rifles and bullets to cooperate with the work of the land reform working group.

After completing the land reform in the north for about three years, my own steel mills, forging plants, machinery factories, and chemical plants could almost produce hunting rifles and bullets. The central government also had time to train more new troops in the Song Dynasty according to the new standards. The effect of the southern coastal special zone was almost reflected. Then, I took action against the southern regions and began a comprehensive land reform from the coast to the inland, and by the way, the special zone model was popularized, and my own transformation of the main structure of the Song Dynasty was basically completed.

By then, it was the time to finally change the old regime of the Song Empire, and Emperor Lizong should officially abdicate. The Jinhe Empire and the Song Empire would establish a new empire through negotiation. Of course, the emperor was still from Hong Jinhe, but there must be some officials of the Song Dynasty in the new government, and there must be enough MP positions in the imperial parliament to the Song people. This was also Hong Tao's final plan.

If this process is faster, it will take about ten years, and it will take fifteen years to slow down. If there is any major change in the middle, it may not be completed in twenty years. The main problem facing Hong Tao now is not the old bureaucratic group of the Song Dynasty, whether the gentry group will cause trouble for itself, nor will the Mongols in the north move south again, but time. Whether he can live for fifteen years is a big question. Not only must he live, but he must live with a clear mind, which is meaningful.

Just after the Spring Festival in 1256, Hong Tao, who was in Lin'an City, suddenly received a notice from the navy that Luo Meizhou was cruising in the waters outside Hangzhou Bay. He was not going to come to Lin'an City to meet him, but to go to the Si Islands to meet him.

"Your son is becoming more and more famous as a king. He doesn't come to greet his father and father-in-law, but instead asks us to see him. This is the good son you have educated." Luo Youde was also in Lin'an, so Hong Tao simply brought him along for a walk, but he couldn't invite him, so he had to run him.

"Why is this child here again? I have been here once at the beginning of the year. I also told him not to always run here if he is fine. Once your son finds his trace, it will be troublesome. Don't talk about my son, he has come to visit us at least, and brought you gifts. Your son is good at educating you. I don't know how to see you, an old man, during the Spring Festival, and he is still having sex with me at the negotiating table. He doesn't have to pay any loss." Luo Youde couldn't hear others talking about his son the most, and Hong Tao was no exception. When he talked about Luo Meizhou, he remembered the negotiators of the Ministry of Commerce of the Jinhe Empire. Even if he was a big profiteer, it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage from them.

"We are eating fat meat with a slim teeth. Don't say fat (who)! Let's go and see what gift your son brought us this time. Do you think he would have brought you a big grandson?" Although Hong Tao said nonsense, he knew in his heart that Luo Meizhou understood the great principles. If there weren't any special things, he wouldn't have run here for no reason. As for what special things, Hong Yu's childbirth should be considered one.

"... Then why are you going to be too slow? Let's go, you don't need to put on makeup or something else with your old face?" Luo Youde didn't fight against Hong Tao this time. His biggest heart disease is that he doesn't have a grandson yet. Luo Meizhou and Hong Yu both follow Hong Tao's personalities, and he is not interested in having children too early.

"Be reserved, you are now the vice premier of the Song Empire. You can't run over with a gambler whenever you call. What you represent is not your personal, but the dignity of the imperial government." Hong Tao still didn't move, half leaning on the chair without any intention of getting up.

"It's so reserved! What's wrong with me going to see my son quickly? Are you leaving? If you don't leave, I'll leave first!" Luo Youde snatched the cigar in Hong Tao's mouth, twisted it directly into the ashtray, and issued an ultimatum to Hong Tao.

"It's useless to be anxious. It's noon now. It's just night when we rush over. Where can you find your son's boat to go to so many islands? He didn't say where to wait for us. It's better to wait for lunch before getting on the boat. It's dawn when we get there." Hong Tao smiled and took out another cigar and held it, then pointed to the window.

"...You are so old, you are so old, and you still like to torture people. What's wrong with it? I have something else to do. I'm too lazy to pay attention to you when I leave!" Luo Youde had nothing to say now. Hong Tao was right. It's useless to go there now. It's dangerous to wander around the archipelago at night. But he hated Hong Tao's habit of deliberately teasing people very much, but he had no choice but to lose sight of him, so he could only avoid it.

In the early morning of the next day, before the sun could pop out from the sea level, a Virginia-class warship rushed out of the Qiantang River estuary and rushed towards the direction of the Si Islands. Luo Youde was wearing a new dress designed by Hong Tao, standing straight at the bow of the ship, holding a large telescope for his observation hand, and concentrating on scanning the sea.

"Brother Hong! Brother Hong! Come on, come on! I saw them." Shortly after the warship had penetrated into the waters of the archipelago, Luo Youde shouted loudly, and pointed his finger at the front of the left, with a very surprised expression.

"I saw it when I saw it. It was your grandson and not my grandson. I'm so anxious!" Along the way, Luo Youde did not let Hong Tao stay idle. He discussed more than fifty names and planned to use it on his illusory grandson. This matter was originally Hong Tao's favorite, but when he said a name, Luo Youde rejected one, the reason was that he was not very literary. Hong Tao was annoyed to others and himself to ask for advice, and he would just pick up any pot without opening any pot! He simply ignored him. After finally having some idleness, he was slumped on a recliner and wrapped in a fur coat to resist the cold wind in winter. He didn't even want to get up and go to the bow of the boat like a fool.

"It's not a grandson... it's a boat! Come and see, have you seen such a big boat?" Luo Youde simply ran to Hong Tao, threw the telescope into Hong Tao's arms, and still pointed to the left front.
