Under the leadership of Yan Changwu, the Southeast Prefecture General Staff regularly formulated combat plans to simulate the enemy, such as dealing with the Dutch. The first was to wait for work and use existing forces to deal with the Dutch; the second was to attack the enemy and wait until a new batch of warships were completed.

attack.

Since the Dutch want to attack Southeast Prefecture, our army can just wait for the enemy ships to arrive.

War preparations must be made, but life must continue until the enemy comes. Yan Changwu returned to Taiwan. In addition to inspecting the defense, he must also come to "summary" with the characteristics of China and North Korea. He will write down his experiences and experiences from this voyage.

Discussions, deliberation, final documents are formed, conveyed to all parties, and everyone conducts "political learning."

He first convened important military and political personnel such as Chen Zhongji, Hong Sheng, Li Ying, Li De, Chen Hebin, etc. for a small-scale discussion.

"The first thing is people's livelihood!"

"The so-called people's livelihood can be understood as the people's lives, or it can be said that the small people can live!" Yan Changwu said with emotion: "I went to the north this time, and I have a lot of emotions. I want to share it with you!"

"The people in mainland China are overtaxed. Officials, landowners, and those who passed the imperial examination can avoid taxes. Farmers pay taxes. The burden of corvee is heavy and miserable. Coupled with years of floods and droughts, farmers have no way to make a living. On the road we passed, many places

Everything is in ruins, and there is no food. How can this country survive?"

"I have been to some villages and the people are generally miserable and miserable!"

"So, we must ensure people's livelihood and strive to develop economy, agriculture, industry and commerce! Our previous strategies are antithetical. We must do a good job in data statistics, supervise government, increase people's income, strengthen security, municipal construction, and revitalize the economy

etc."

Yan Changwu started his lecture and talked about "data statistics", establishing statistical units at the town and village levels to obtain accurate data, so the allocation of personnel and funds must be strengthened.

In addition to the existing inspection offices in each town, it is planned to dispatch inspection teams to inspect people's livelihood and conduct inspections.

To combat unhealthy tendencies and severely punish subordinate officials, Yan Changwu pointed out that all trials focus on evidence and do not involve involvement. Southeast Prefecture is small and cannot withstand big disturbances.

To increase people's income, revitalize the economy, and benefit the people, the method is to build infrastructure... Build good infrastructure, build roads, carry out farmland water conservancy, build factories, etc. The key is that the Southeast Government has money in hand, and it pays wages instead of corvee labor, so

Money comes from the people.

The mainland government is much more miserable in this regard. They collect less business taxes. With the support of staunch patriots like the Donglin Party, the country has a long-term low commercial tax rate. If the government has no money, it cannot afford to pay wages and pay taxes to the people.

If the people are dissatisfied with corvee service, they will run away; if they cannot escape, they will rebel.

…

In terms of people's livelihood, it also includes the establishment of a minimum wage, a maximum internship period of half a year, the establishment of Spring Festival, Labor Day, and the addition of three traditional festivals, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, as statutory holidays in Southeast Prefecture. Except for the Spring Festival, they are all one day, plus the Gregorian calendar

Sunday is a government shutdown day, and there are still many holidays.

Establish nurseries. All major units and factories will set up nurseries and send children to nurseries for management. (Mainly "public servants" and large factories have this benefit, while private citizens have to take care of their own children.)

Increase investment in hospitals, including establishing specialized maternal and infant health care hospitals, training and sponsoring rural midwives, and promoting disinfection to improve maternal and infant survival rates.

…

Yan Changwu's people's livelihood policy involves all aspects, is very lengthy, and took him a long time to talk about it.

After he proposed it, everyone discussed it, made feasibility estimates, how much manpower and funds were needed, and then reported it back to him, and finally made a decision.

"The second thing is to strengthen publicity!"

"I plan to set up a newspaper, let's call it Southeast Daily, so that businessmen can place advertisements on it to subsidize the distribution fee." Yan Changwu said, and he was not shy about talking about money.

"Southeast Daily promotes good things and criticizes bad things. Of course it cannot affect our governance. It also allows everyone to see the scenery of other places."

When everyone thinks about it, this is exactly what it should be.

No comparison, no harm. Through comparison, we can let everyone know how hard-won life is now, and thus support the governance of Southeast Prefecture.

"The third thing is, don't let your military slack for a day!"

"The world is not peaceful. There may be power lurking within us to overthrow us. The Red-haired Fans are eyeing us and want our white sugar!" Yan Changwu shouted loudly. The "sweet career" of Southeast Prefecture is indeed sweet, including white sugar, brown sugar, and rock sugar.

Together with milk, sugar, and rum, which are also made from sugar cane, the annual income exceeds one million taels of silver, and is on the way to two million taels of silver!

In order to protect its own interests, Southeast Prefecture builds warships, makes guns and cannons, trains troops, and supplies logistics...

Establish a more detailed training program, make exercises closer to actual combat, build dedicated supply ships for logistics, and strengthen management of logistics warehouses.

"I'm here to give you a research topic." Yan Changwu greeted: "How to avoid the separatism of feudal towns!"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when they heard his narration: "I have been to Ningyuan and Pi Island. Take Pi Island as an example. They are right here..."

Someone immediately opened the map, which was closer to the real map!

This is the result of the hard work of the hydrographic exploration team in the fleet. Yan Changwu is willing to spend money on this aspect, which is more beneficial to the battle.

"Look at the location of Pi Island. It is on the Yalu River and threatens Hou Jin's soft belly. It is very important to contain Hou Jin so that Hou Jin cannot use all his forces on Ning Jinyuan. Therefore, Mao Wenlong, the defender of Pi Island, plays an important role.

!”

"However!" Yan Changwu changed his voice and said: "Mao Wenlong is far away from the mainland and has become a powerful force. On Pi Island, he has no supervisory troops. He has the final say on everything. Not long after I was on Pi Island, I heard many things

What happened to him, for example, was that those who were close to him had good food and useful things, while other soldiers lived a miserable life. There was also a serious problem with the number of his soldiers and civilians, even if they pretended to receive military pay, they killed many people.

Moisture means pretending to be a military leader (without a supervisory army, this is inevitable)..."

"Everyone, what should we do?" Yan Changwu asked.

The soldiers did not dare to speak, but Chen Hebin, the financial officer, said indifferently: "Dilemma!"

"Yes, it's a dilemma! Some people say that since he is so important, then just satisfy him and don't touch him, as long as he achieves results. Some people say that you must not indulge, otherwise everyone will follow his example and start a war.

, which part is not important, everyone does not need to supervise the army, how can the superiors control the army in the future?"

"Okay, don't rush to answer. Let's just treat it as a research topic and discuss it. There's no need to rush to hand in the answer. We in Southeast Prefecture haven't reached this point yet."

…

Yan Changwu went on a trip and came up with many thoughts. After enrichment, many of them were implemented, which improved the economy, military, and people's livelihood of Southeast Prefecture to a higher level.
Chapter completed!
