Every day I just want to hold the fourth master's thigh tightly

Chapter 2166 Even if you are not so well understood emperor

He can't keep a bunch of useless officials who just do what they're told.

Such mediocre officials are also not good for the development of the court.

The fourth master thought, otherwise, when there is time, we will take special measures in this regard, and those who fail to come up with ideas may be fined money, or demoted from office, and they must be urged not to be lazy.

Laziness in thought is more shameful than laziness in action.

The ministers exchanged ideas and decided to adopt the method of "suppression and appeasement".

There are two meanings: one is to suppress those who are rebellious and caress those who obey; the other is to suppress first and then caress.

To put it bluntly, it is to use coercive means to carry out the reform of the land and return it to the people.

Because the Secretary of the Ministry of War emphasized that the chieftains didn't know good from bad, they were too gentle and they thought Qing was easy to bully.

Treat people like bandits, and you can control violence with violence.

Therefore, this time the reform of the chieftains to return to the local people can be divided into two stages.The first stage was mainly to conquer by force, and the focus of land reform was in Yunnan and Guizhou. During this period, a large number of chieftains were directly abolished if there was any problem.Compared with the first stage, the use of troops in the second stage was relatively small. The focus of the diversion was concentrated in Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangxi, and a lot of aftermath work was carried out.

Fourth Master gave an order, and the officials rushed to complete the task immediately.

The scale of the land reform was huge, and about 150 chieftains were abolished, of which 110 were abolished during the first large-scale use of troops; 120 officials were set up in the land of the reform, and the areas involved were counted by prefectures. There are 44 prefectures in total, and the ethnic groups involved include Miao, Dong, commoner, Shui, Yi, Naxi, Zhuang, Yao, Tujia, etc., a total of [-].

Due to the intensity of the reform, it took less than two months to complete it.

Fourth Master was very satisfied.

But the aftermath work must be done well, otherwise the reform will directly turn into riots.

Government officials have done a lot of follow-up work, mainly dealing with the removal of chieftains, the selection and appointment of new officials, the control and management of people of all ethnic groups, the banning of various old and bad rules, and the development of border areas. .

The significance of this land reform is great, first of all, it has promoted the unification of the country, the consolidation of border defense, and at the same time promoted the development of the feudal economy in the southwest region, as well as the development of cultural and educational undertakings.

However, after all, all reforms were political reforms carried out under feudal autocratic rule, and they were closely related to the policy of national conquest.

Forced reforms are bound to be accompanied by massacres. Although Si Ye strictly ordered the officials to implement them properly, the people of all ethnic groups in the Southwest have gone through a painful process and paid a bloody price in exchange for the development of their own nation.

In this regard, although the officials recorded Si Ye's wisdom and success as the emperor, the fierce side of Emperor Yongzheng was still remembered by those who experienced the suffering.

People of all ethnic groups in the Southwest hated the emperor deeply.

When fourth master finally heard his documentary evaluation, there was only a silent sigh.

He is the emperor, sitting in this position, there are many things that have to be done, and must be considered as a whole, and you can't just see one side.Maybe he didn't do it perfectly, but he did his best.

All along, what he seeks is not the praise and love of all the people, what he seeks is nothing more than a clear heart.

He deeply remembered a sentence Huang Kao once said to him. After he asked him if he would like to be a lonely minister, he told him with a serious face that everything can be done with an open heart, no matter how difficult the road is, it will surely be accomplished.

In this way, he has persisted.

Even if he is an emperor who is not so well understood.
