704 Migration is difficult
While Burrison was facing a difficult problem, others were also depressed. In life, unsatisfactory seems to be the main theme, and those satisfying things rarely happen.
In the Arrant region of the Iranhill Empire, a peasant was waving his hand and shaking his head at an administrative official who had come to talk to him, and uttered a non-negotiable answer: "This is impossible!" ”
Yes, it can't be. Although Alan Hill hopes that land swaps can solve many problems, including the gap between rich and poor, including the growing problem of land annexation, there are very few people who are actually willing to follow the arrangement.
The territory of Ellan Hill has expanded countless times over, but its population has also increased countless times more. The war left much of the land vacant, and a series of policies to benefit the people of Lovely Lanhill quickly distributed this idle land to the farmers of the country.
In order to maintain a high level of war benefits, Elanhill's economy was highly dependent on foreign wars. The main reason why the people did not resist the war on a large scale because of the years of conquest was that everyone reaped the benefits of the war.
Soldiers who joined the army were rewarded with land after the victory, which was subsidized to the families of the soldiers who worked as farmers at home, allowing these families to live a prosperous life.
At the same time, the war gave rise to a large number of industrial manufacturing plants, which supplied the national war machine with sufficient weapons and ammunition. These factories also provide a large number of jobs internally, which also houses a large number of employed people.
Supported by the wartime economy, there was hardly any excess production in Irlanhill - the excess of weapons and ammunition was immediately consumed, and the profits generated in turn indirectly improved the quality of life of the workers.
However, as the war continues to expand, so do the benefits of the war. The land subsidized to the soldiers began to run out of money.
Although the peasants, who had a large amount of land, would not starve to death because of such a trivial matter, their enthusiasm for supporting the war would plummet.
At the same time, there was no way to distribute the land of soldiers who had actively joined the army or had made meritorious contributions to the front line according to the old laws, and it would also make the empire's finances passive.
Because the peasants in many core areas did not have access to adjacent land, they had to rely on the imperial government to subsidize them with gold coins, and the land in these places became more and more expensive, and the subsidy cost increased, and the peasants who watched the price of land rise became more and more reluctant to ask for subsidized gold coins.
According to the simple idea of the peasants, the land is constantly appreciating, but the gold coins obviously cannot appreciate, so the gold coins are not cost-effective.
And the increasing amount of gold coins to compensate the farmers also put a heavy financial burden on the government of Irlanhill.
The approach that Chris and Desel and others are promoting is to replace the land of farmers in the core areas with more land in the outlying areas.
By the way, let these farmers migrate to more remote places to support the economic development of those backward areas.
However, this kind of thing that uprooted people from their homes is obviously not very popular with people. There are very few people who move voluntarily, and most of them are unable to leave their homeland and are simply unwilling to ask for more land that has been multiplied.
"You only have 20 acres of land here, sir...... If you are willing to migrate to the lower reaches of the Rudono, the government will compensate you 110 acres. Sir, more than five times the area, and the compensation for migration, a lot of ......" The official spoke bitterly and offered conditions that were not bad.
"Forget it, I'm old and don't want to move my place that far. You can ask Old Peter next door what he might be willing to go to the lower reaches of the Rudono. The old man apparently did not appreciate it, and pointed to the neighbor's house in the distance and refused.
"You can think about it again, there is also construction over there, and soon the price of land will rise, and the 110 acres of land subsidized to you are all fertile and fertile land." The official who came to persuade didn't want to give up, after all, he hadn't persuaded anyone to leave in the past two days.
"I'm not short of money, kid. See this medal? This is my son's military exploits, according to the law, the empire still owes me 5 acres of fertile land! The old man sneered, pointed to the bronze eagle badge hanging on his chest, and said with pride.
"Damn, why don't you let the farmers over there move out first? Let them go to Rudono, give up the land of Doson, and maybe someone will be willing to go. The officials also knew that they had failed again, and he could not afford to provoke any of these old fellows whose families were in the army, so he could only kick the ridge under his feet with hatred and take his assistant to the main road on the edge of the field.
"Sooner or later, these fools who don't understand anything will drag down the empire because of their selfishness!" The official walked up to the roadbed, looked at the muddy leather shoes under his feet, and couldn't help but curse.
On the main road, a Mansgl people's car roared by, and the older model gave people a nostalgic sense of vicissitudes.
There are still a lot of classic cars with this kind of streamlined shape, but most of the cars have a more modern appearance.
Today, in the Arrant region, there is no shadow of war in sight. The people here have enjoyed a happy life for more than four years, and their days have never been more prosperous.
As long as you can't see the ever-changing Arantix a hundred kilometers away, and look at the skyscrapers rising from the ground, you can see how powerful the Ranhil Empire is.
But no one knows how long this gunfire will last, and no one knows when this sweet dream will wake up.
So everyone is worried about moving away from their hometowns, and they worry that places that seem safe now may become the front lines of war in the future.
This kind of large-scale migration is not an easy task, and what he encounters here is only a small microcosm of the huge plan of the entire empire to relocate the population.
Populations in many areas are being ordered to move to other areas, and no one knows how many families are laughing and how many are crying along the way.
Thanks to the help of the elves, most of Irlanhill had a bumper harvest this year. With the exception of some barren places in the south where no one sows, most areas are self-sufficient.
In the end, there will be no answer to how to comment on the merits and demerits of this kind of thing. It's just that now everyone is starting to be dissatisfied, after all, many interest groups have not received decent benefits for a long time.
It is a pity that fighting for the benefit of the group you represent is something that everyone is willing to do.
