Chapter 273: disaster relief
Chapter 273 Disaster Relief
In fact, Zhou Rou is clear in her heart that the source of everything is because the lord does not have to pay taxes!
What's more, they also annexed most of the most fertile land!
In this way, how can the country's finances be supported?
Naturally, only the burden is transferred to the small farmers who are not able to resist.
This is not over yet, since the aristocratic families have monopolized the grassroots bureaucracy, the state’s taxation has also become a tool for them to make money.
Various extortionate and miscellaneous taxes emerged one after another, and then the money of the common people was divided into three and seven, and the money of the tyrants was returned in full.
Exploitation layer by layer, eating from both ends, the result is that the country and the people are getting poorer and poorer, and the vampires in the middle are full of fat!
But are they satisfied?
No, it doesn't!
Because they monopolize the land and don’t have to pay taxes, they hoard a huge amount of grain in their hands, while the common people are burdened by various extortionate taxes and have no food for each other.
Therefore, the gentry only need to cut off the outflow of food and spread some rumors to artificially create a crisis and panic, and raise the price of food several times or even dozens of times in a short period of time!
Thus, the famine was formed…
However, for the common people, the terrible famine was a gluttonous feast for the gentry!
With the crisis swept across, countless small farmers and even small landlords went bankrupt, and the big landlords in Tianlianqianmo can unscrupulously annex land and gradually develop into giants across counties, counties, and even across states!
And don’t worry about the mud legs who have nothing, you still have the most important thing, personal freedom!
Although Damin clearly forbids slave ownership, as long as you sign this IOU that you will never be able to repay for the rest of your life, you will get a bag of moldy and rotten grain, enough to make your family happy. The healthiest and strongest workforce survives!
As for the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled...
A worthless thing will die when it dies. The gentlemen will not waste precious food for these weeds!
Anyway, these mud legs are like weeds in the ground. This year, they will die, and they will emerge in a nest in a few years.
Actually, in the days of good weather and good weather, there was no major famine, but it was just a means for the big landlords to periodically harvest the people.
Such a pattern has been repeated in every dynasty over the past tens of thousands of years, from the initial small fight to the widespread famine in Lian County and Lianzhou, which has intensified...
To this day, the entire empire is at the verge of life and death. These greedy landlords have no plans to stop, but intensify their efforts to scavenge the people's fat and ointment, and lie on the country to **** blood!
Don't they know that all their privileges are based on the existence of the state?
There are no finished eggs under the nest!
The country is about to die, what is the use of how much wealth you loot?
didn't notice Zhou Rou's mixed eyes of resentment. If Zhao Yinshun knew what she was thinking, he would definitely tell her a truth.
The only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans cannot learn any lessons from history.
No matter which world, the confusing operation of the ruling class at the end of the dynasty can make people unable to understand!
Compared to the outrageous magical behaviors of the past, Song, Ming, Qing, and Qing Dynasties, the current Da Min is simply too normal.
However, perhaps the premise of all this is based on the [Emperor].
Once he falls, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods below are probably going to start to reorganize...
In other words, with the weakening of the [Emperor], they have already begun to revive!
The man-made disaster behind this natural disaster may not have been without their help…
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yinshun weighed the pros and cons in his mind and made a decision.
"Send my order."
"The navy is out to clear the pirates on the route from Taiping Bay to the northern part of Yangzhou."
"[Ministry of Agriculture] mobilized all the grains in the county and sent them to Yangzhou for disaster relief in the name of the eldest princess!"
Shocked all over, Zhou Rou woke up from the grief and anger, and quickly took out the notebook to record.
"Follow orders!"
But Zhao Yinshun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it, Cen Xing's identity can't hold him back, so I'll go there in person."
"In addition, military transport ships are definitely not enough. You can coordinate logistics at home and organize civilian merchant ships to help transport food."
Carefully wrote down Zhao Yinshun's request, and in just a few seconds, Zhou Rou had already formed a general planning framework in her mind.
"Yes!"
"Attention, this time it is nominally a disaster relief, but in fact I want those ordinary people who can't survive. Landlords and bureaucrats don't treat them as human beings, so it would be better to bring them to seal the country. We are very short of labor right now. "
Five fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, Zhao Yinshun said frankly to his confidants without reservation.
Different from the landlord class who would rather leave the land uncultivated than cultivate the muddy legs, Zhao Yinshun knows that population is the most important foundation of a modern country!
In wartime, they are an endless source of soldiers, and in peacetime, the market they form is the most solid foundation of a country!
Why did the Celestial Dynasty in the previous life use the market for technology?
It's not because everyone is jealous of this huge market of more than one billion people!
Later, the Celestial Dynasty developed, and it can even open the inner loop. Under the most difficult assumption, it can be completely isolated from the outside world and survive independently!
This insane ability scares the West even more than nuclear weapons!
Because this means you are not afraid of blockades and sanctions, a country is the world!
And the premise of all this is to have a large enough population!
Zhao Yinshun would not like to see the insects ruin the most precious wealth of the country - the people!
In the reactionary and backward ideology of the insects, the mud legs are like weeds, and they are endlessly dead, and the spring breeze blows them again.
Such things like ants, grass and mustard are not human, they are roughly equivalent to two-legged beasts, they don't need to be cherished at all, they can be consumed at will, only their masters who are full of poetry and books are worthy of being called [people].
Therefore, the country cannot compete with the "people" for profits, and it means that it cannot collect their taxes, and that it can only be collected from those muddy scumbags!
As for the mud-legged people who can't survive and are forced to rebel, then it's none of the gentlemen's business, it's all your [Emperor] being inhumane!
I don't care whether your country perishes or not, I can't move my interests anyway!
"By the way, in order to prevent the food from being exploited layer by layer, we are responsible for the whole process of this disaster relief operation. You organize the elite cadres of [Dragon], the more the better."
"Yes!"
"Oh, and also, mobilize the army to help me with disaster relief! Now that the [Dragon Guards] in each county have taken shape, the regular army will gradually hand over the defense and suppression tasks to the local area!"
"Yes!"
Carefully wrote down Zhao Yinshun's order, Zhou Rou left in a hurry, and the war machine of [Liuyin Fengguo] began to run rapidly.
"Going out again?"
turned his head, and Oakley Yani, who was hiding under the information barrier, looked at Zhao Yinshun leisurely.
"Well, I really can't stand it, can save one is one."
Looking at the white snow outside the window, the handsome young man sighed helplessly.
"Besides, I'm really short of people right now. Not only is the industry short of labor, but agriculture has huge potential to be wasted."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yinshun smacked his lips in words.
"Did you know that the former landlords in Linbo County were really against the sky. They clearly had a rich and abundant plain, but they only developed one-fifth of the cultivated land, and the remaining 80% of the arable land was completely unused..."
"Capitalism can improve efficiency and maximize surplus value. They don't even understand exploitation! Pure cerebral palsy!"
The more he talked, the more angry he became, the boy in white couldn't help but slammed the table hard.
Even if it’s bad, the key is to lie on a golden mountain and beg for food!
This kind of bad and stupid cerebral palsy stuff fills the court and the opposition, and the country will have ghosts if it does not decline!
"Is there a possibility that it cannot be developed because the demons and ghosts occupy these territories?"
"There are reasons for this, but not many."
Zhao Yinshun shook his head and sighed tiredly.
"After this period of measurement and statistics, the general situation of Linbo County has come out. The land area is about 1.1 million square kilometers. Not counting the ghosts and mythical creatures that have been artificially created by Japanese pirates in the past few decades, the land occupied by traditional monsters and ghosts is scattered. It accounts for less than one-tenth, and most of them are in inaccessible areas..."
"So, there is an impact in this respect, but it's not big."
"There are many reasons that really affect the development. In addition to their own insatiable greed, I think one of the most important reasons is to hinder the nuclear field."
The emperor is not a fool, even if the [Kingdom Thief] in the court is deceived and deceived and distorted his cognition, but when he really can't collect the tax, he will still find a way to see what is going on below.
If the real data is placed in front of the emperor at this time, then something big is going to happen!
The reforms of the past dynasties came like this!
And all kinds of bells and whistles can be summed up in four words - nuclear fields return taxes!
This could kill the gentlemen, so in the process they gradually came up with a set of countermeasures, the most important of which was to hide the property and obstruct the review.
For this reason, they would rather abandon large tracts of fields than leave them to be cultivated by mud-legged people, which seriously hindered the development of productive forces.
Hearing Zhao Yinshun's explanation, Oakley Yani sighed with great interest.
"It's similar to the nobles in Taixi. The dead branches in the forest over there are the property of the lord, and the common people are not allowed to pick it up for warmth."
"So when winter comes, the nobles of Taixi play hunting games popularly, shoot those poor people who go into the forest to collect firewood, compare their achievements with each other, and enjoy it."
"Emmmm...You guys are also pretty unbelievable...As expected, the insects all over the world are similar."
Looking at the excited Oakley Yani, Zhao Yinshun shook his head helplessly and changed the subject without a trace.
"In fact, Linbo County is really fat and oily, and the area of arable land that can be developed accounts for about 55%, which is 600,000 square kilometers, or 900 million mu!"
In the previous life, the Celestial Dynasty saw the proportion of cultivated land, and could cry with envy!
Ermao's resource endowment can barely fight, but the problem is that Ermao's national area is a little more than half the size of Linbo County, which is already called the Europa granary!
sighed with relief, and Zhao Yinshun's eyes flashed with a hint of longing.
"If all the arable land is developed normally, [Linbo] alone can feed hundreds of millions of people!"
In the previous life, under traditional agricultural techniques, the limit of one person's intensive cultivation was about six mu, but the current physique of the extraordinary world is generally better, one person can intensively cultivate about 10 mu of land, that is to say...
"To fully develop the agricultural potential of [Linbo County], I need at least 100 million people! But now the total population of [Linbo County] is less than 20 million... Not to mention agriculture, even the labor force of industry is extremely Lack, I need a huge population!"
Because the land reform divides the land according to the head, and eliminates all corvée, so according to the statistics, the population of Linbo County, which was originally only a few million in the household registration, has suddenly nearly doubled, which can be regarded as a big deal for Zhao Yinshun. A small surprise, but also solved a trace of doubt in his heart.
There are more than 400,000 people in Linbo City alone, and only a few million in the entire Linbo County?
Can the hidden households be a little more attentive?
Speaking of this, Zhao Yinshun couldn't help but sigh.
"Bringing the disaster victims to Fengguo can be regarded as preserving the vitality of the country for Senior Sister."
Hearing this, Oakley Yani raised the corners of her pink lips and looked at him with a half-smile.
"Have you tacitly agreed that your senior sister can become emperor?"
did not expect that Zhao Yinshun immediately looked back at her with a strange expression.
"She is my senior sister."
The plain words made Oakley Yani slightly stunned.
seems to be just a straightforward statement, but she, who is familiar with the boy, has accurately grasped the point.
I!
Because she is "my" senior sister, it is only right that she should be the emperor!
It seems that he is the master of destiny, and his will is the law of operation of the objective world!
As long as he wants to, the world should move with it!
How arrogant is this?
But strangely, Oakley Yani didn't feel any pompous emotions from the teenager, just as if she was stating a well-known fact.
What's even more terrifying is that she didn't feel the slightest violation, as if the world should revolve around teenagers!
"You are the funniest guy in the world!"
Holding Zhao Yinshun's angular cheeks and rubbing hard, the corners of Oakley Yani's mouth rose wildly, and she seemed to be able to see the excitement in her eyes through the crown mask.
"What's going on?"
broke free, Zhao Yinshun glared at her angrily.
"Hehe, compared to the [Emperor] who has been observed for tens of thousands of years, you are still more interesting!"
Can't help but feel excited, Oakley Yani pressed her pink cheeks to Zhao Yinshun's face and rubbed frantically. The excited appearance reminded the teenager inexplicably of the little sister who caught the funny cat stick!
A move in his heart, Zhao Yinshun observed Oakley Yani without a trace, and there was a faint realization.
also told me to be careful of [mythical disease], I think you are not clearly affected by the desire to explore [the peeping person]!
No wonder I was drooling when I saw me...
You veteran mythology masters are more or less seriously ill!
"Don't stick it, stick it closely."
Speaking of strange words that Oakley Yani couldn't understand, Zhao Yinshun pushed her face away with a palm, and her figure moved, leaving only an afterimage that slowly dissipated on the spot.
Thank you [Celestrail] and other book friends for their rewards.
So sleepy, broken sleep_(:зゝ∠)_
