Chapter 511: Tsunami-like ideological impact (third update)
Eleven days had just passed since the founding ceremony of the country and Xiao Mingqian's enthronement ceremony, and another piece of news quickly spread throughout the entire Chinese Empire.
The empress dowager of the empire, Xiao Tian, ??resumed her maiden name of Tian Qian before she got married, and married the chief education officer of the empire. What surprised all the people of the empire was that the emperor Xiao Mingqian personally attended the wedding and sent his sincere blessings.
During the wedding, Xiao Mingqian made it clear that the empire never encouraged women to remain widowed for a long time. Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, even the empress dowager of the empire.
This incident had a huge impact on the thinking of the people throughout the Chinese Empire, especially the three southeastern provinces that had just been included in the empire. The remarriage of the Imperial Empress Dowager was like a storm to them, completely shattering their traditional concepts.
For this reason, many people yelled and cursed loudly, even if the other party was the emperor or the empress dowager. Countless people from the southeast rushed to the location of the military and government officials, either yelling or sitting quietly to express their dissatisfaction.
But the military and government officials completely ignored it. The external explanation was that citizens of the empire over the age of sixteen had the right to decide everything about themselves, even the empress dowager of the empire was no exception.
As long as there is no riot, the empire's military and government officials and garrisons in various places will completely ignore such protests and wait for the wave to disappear.
Fortunately, amid this wave, most of Taiwan¡¯s mainland and Southeast Asian islands, which have received more than ten years of publicity, are relatively calm. Although some people disagree, they are still restrained.
Of course, countries such as Ming Dynasty and Japan that got the news immediately mobilized all their strength to seize this incident and promote the Chinese Empire as a country that knows no etiquette and no shame.
In this regard, the public opinion propaganda of the Chinese Empire also intensified its efforts, positively promoted the image of the Chinese Empire, and tried its best to explore the unorthodoxy of the current Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty. Various examples were used to demonstrate that the current Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty has completely violated For countless years, many hypocrites have forcibly attached their dirty thoughts to the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius, causing Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty to completely lose its true nature.
Although Taiwan¡¯s propaganda had little effect within the Ming Dynasty due to the violent public opinion control of the Ming Dynasty and the illiteracy of ordinary Ming Dynasty people, Xiao Mingqian was not discouraged.
He believes that as long as truly progressive ideas are able to break through the shady world and completely destroy those decadent things, this process will only take a long time and require the support of strong economic and military strength.
The storm caused by the marriage of the Empress Dowager of the Chinese Empire to a minister was far beyond everyone's imagination, but it also gave the people within the Chinese Empire a baptism in their thinking.
Even the empress dowager can remarry, so what reason do ordinary people like them have that can no longer look for their own happiness!
So although the public opinion storm is very shocking, the effect is also very shocking. The huge ideological impact and ubiquitous publicity have further opened up the minds of the people of the Chinese Empire. In the following year, the remarriage rate among Taiwanese women who lost their husbands increased by nearly 20%.
In this way, a whole year passed in the midst of this chaos.
This year, the Chinese Empire did not carry out military expansion. It still calmed down and worked hard to digest the huge area it had occupied.
In the three southeastern provinces, land reform was completely completed by the end of the year. Although many twists and turns were encountered, even landless people came out to oppose Taiwan's land policy under the instigation of caring people. But in the face of real benefits, this kind of resistance became less and less, and was eventually completely submerged in the joy of millions of people.
The effect of land reform also had an immediate effect that year. At the end of that year, the second quarter grain output in the three southeastern provinces increased by 60% compared with the first quarter, and the income of ordinary people quadrupled.
With no need to pay agricultural taxes and all the income from the land going to themselves, for the first time, people in the three provinces had their granaries filled with more food than their families could eat in two or three years. At the same time, the construction of large-scale infrastructure in various places has also given people the opportunity to make a lot of money during their leisure time.
"There is no hunger, no more debt collection that is like knocking bones and sucking out marrow, and there are no more officials who are like jackals. The people in the three provinces can't believe that all this is true.
Looking at the endless food at home, they couldn't help but feel in a trance. Are these military and government officials still those officials??Is what the master said so unreasonable? If they were an unruly government, then what was the Ming Dynasty?
With so much food, even if one family¡¯s rations are left behind, it can be sold for more than a hundred taels, no, more than a hundred yuan. It¡¯s enough for my family to have a prosperous New Year.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Helping the Chinese imperial government and laying some cement roads, and the whole family can live a better life than those small landowners in the past.
When people have money in their hands, they naturally want to buy some furniture for their homes and clothes for their families. Some trendy people even bought things like soaps, mirrors, and even bicycles that only rich families could afford in the past.
Although there were not many such people in the first year, the huge population base made the market in the three southeastern provinces reach the level of Luzon Island.
The huge consumption potential of the three provinces has excited the industrial and commercial circles of the entire Chinese Empire. They even spread rumors that they hoped that the Imperial Army could quickly occupy the entire Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this can only be a rumor. The empire will not take the next step of military action without fully digesting the newly occupied territory.
Of course, not everything is good, such as food prices. Although after eight months of military operations and the huge demand for food in Liaodong, Korea, the price of food in the empire rose from one yuan, two stones and two to one yuan, one stone and six. But such prices are still too low for people in the three southeastern provinces. If it were during the Ming Dynasty, at such a price, ordinary people would go bankrupt.
The crazy drop in grain prices in the three southeastern provinces has made grain trafficking to the Daming area surrounding the three provinces a hugely profitable industry.
Although the Chinese Empire and the Ming Dynasty were in a hostile relationship, both sides had a tacit understanding and did not stop this kind of food selling.
The Chinese Empire wants businessmen to use this method to publicize everything about the Chinese Empire wherever they go, and at the same time, it can also prevent the Ming people who are also Chinese people from dying.
On Daming¡¯s side, it was entirely out of deep helplessness.
