"Ding! The host is already married to Shi Jianqiao!"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully taking in a concubine again!"

"Congratulations to the host, you have received a reward: a textile factory!"

"Congratulations to the host, you have received a reward: a cavalry regiment, including 1,200 horses, 1,200 cavalry, carrying Mosin-Nagant rifles, sabers and other equipment!"

"Congratulations to the host, you have received a reward: an artillery battalion! Including various mountain cannons, howitzers, Katyusha rocket launchers, and 120 more!"

Hearing a series of system prompts, Qin Xiang couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. She is indeed a peerless beauty.

After taking Shi Jianqiao as his concubine, she actually got a cavalry regiment and an artillery battalion!

Moreover, she is well-equipped and possesses the skills that are not yet available. Several Katyusha rocket launchers appeared!

This immediately raised the combat effectiveness of his troops to a new level.

Qin Xiang, including the recruits he recruited, already has nearly 20,000 troops.

And with the blessing of accelerated systematic training, the recruits The combat effectiveness has basically been formed.

This time, the system rewarded the cavalry regiment and artillery battalion, which made him even more powerful!

Now, Zhang Zongchang is busy fighting the battle with the Zhejiang Army and has no time to go east.

Qin Xiang took advantage of this opportunity to develop rapidly.

However, while expanding your own strength, you should also bring some better changes to the people of this era!

……

Early the next morning, an eye-catching notice appeared in the five cities in Laizhou, Zhaoyuan, Qixia, Penglai and Longkou controlled by Qin Xiang.

Notice from the Great Qin Army on school construction and farmland reform:

Since the late Qing Dynasty, land annexation has been very serious. Most people do not have their own farmland, but they are burdened with the most taxes, so that many people are hungry!

In order to alleviate the life pressure of the people and allow everyone to have fields to cultivate and food to eat, General Qin Xiang, commander of the Qin Army and governor of Dengzhou, decided to reform the cultivated land in the five areas under his jurisdiction, Laizhou, Zhaoyuan, Qixia, Longkou, Penglai!

No one can have more than 20 acres of farmland under their name. Land with more than 20 acres must be sold to the General's Mansion at a price of 20 yuan per acre, and then distributed to the landless poor by the General's Mansion!

Those who actively cooperate with this policy will be given preferential treatment and assistance by the General Government in mining, factories, commercial banks and other aspects!

Those who dare to defy or even undermine this decision-making will not be tolerated!

Another thing... an ancient saying goes, it takes a hundred years to grow trees and ten years to cultivate people.

Today, China is so poor and weak that even foreign enemies can bully it, and backward education accounts for most of the reason!

If all the men in my world could read and be knowledgeable, they could operate machines and cars, they could build strong ships and cannons, and the products they made could be sold all over the world, and the profits they made could make everyone fed and clothed.

Then the world will be worry-free and the people will be healthy!

Therefore, the General's Office decided to supervise the establishment of a new-style school, which will not charge any tuition or miscellaneous fees, and will provide a lunch!

In every household in the five cities, every child over six years old, regardless of gender, must enter the school to study!

If there is anyone who disobeys the feudal ideology because farmland at home requires labor and women do not need to be literate to marry, then all the farmland allocated will be taken back and a fine will be imposed...

(P.S.: From today on, all women are not allowed to bind their feet. They have already bound their feet. Those who must let go!)

(The General's Office will conduct random inspections at people's homes from time to time. Anyone found disobeying and binding feet will be sentenced to ten days of hard labor! )

As soon as this notice was posted, there was an uproar within the five cities!

Regarding the construction of new schools, the vast majority of the people raised their hands and feet in approval.

Chinese people, whether rich or poor, attach great importance to education since ancient times!

Qin Xiang established a new type of school, which did not charge tuition fees and also provided lunch.

This is simply a great thing!

The only thing that makes some people feel awkward is that girls must also go to school!

In the minds of these illiterate people, when a daughter is fifteen or sixteen years old, she can just find a better family and marry her.

What school are you going to?

Hanging out in the same school with those bad boys?

That's not a big deal!

And... foot binding is not allowed!

Can a woman with big feet be able to get married in the future?

What makes many people grit their teeth the most is the reform of farmland.

Like most places in this era, most of the land in Laizhou and other five cities was occupied by gentry and landlords, and many people were just tenant farmers.

Although the General's Mansion gave 20 oceans of silver per acre to the forced takeback, in fact the best fertile land now can be sold for 50 or 60 oceans per acre!

If you sell your land, how can you still collect rent every day?

How can you make those landlords and wealthy people willing to do so!

……

In the northwest of Laizhou, at the entrance of the Liang Family Ancestral Hall, a man wearing a melon cap and cotton clothes looked at the hundreds of fellow clan members in front of him, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, his eyes red.

His name is Liang Wanwan, and he is the largest landowner within a hundred miles, with hundreds of hectares of land under his control!

As soon as Qin Xiang's new decree came out, he immediately felt as if he were mourning for his heir, and then gathered his fellow clan members and tenant farmers to come to the ancestral hall.

"This General Qin is going to forcefully take back our land. What can we do without our land?"

"I think he just wants to be the biggest landowner and forces us to sell our land and then become tenant farmers for him!"

"You are so stupid that you force us to let girls go to school and don't allow them to bind their feet!"

"We also need to let them go to school with those little boys, so it won't be a mess. From now on, men and women will elope and do all kinds of illicit things, and no one will care!"

"This is clearly retrograde and destroys human relations!"

"I have united with Mr. Li Youcai, Mr. Zhang Helun and others. We have thousands of people in total. Let's ask the general surnamed Qin for an explanation!"

"If he doesn't take back this decision, we will go to Quancheng to find Marshal Zhang. Although Marshal Zhang has heavier taxes, he has never dared to take our land by force!"

"If Marshal Zhang can't make the decision, I'll go to the capital to find Governor Duan to file a complaint. I'm going to rebel against him!"

Many of these people from the same clan own land, and other tenant farmers are cultivating Liang Wanwan's land.

When they heard his instigation, they were all carried away and filled with righteous indignation.

"good!"

"Damn it, kill General Qin!"

A group of people from the same clan who were lured out to fight raised their arms and shouted after him.

After Liang Wanwan led everyone to shout for a while, he then rushed out of the ancestral hall with these people from the same clan and his tenant farmers. After walking out, dozens of people After a few miles, Liang Wanwan and others met up with the team of Landlord Li, Landlord Zhang and others, and the entire team suddenly became thousands of people. The gathered landlords and tenant farmers were all holding rakes, forks and other agricultural tools. They marched toward Laizhou City in a mighty manner, shouting slogans as they walked:

"General Qin was unethical and forced the people to death!"

"We are going to Beijing to file a petition!"
