Chapter 42: Enclosure

"Yes, if you have a few more big fat boys and watch them roll in the mud every day, it will be worth dying." Seeing the few of them sink in like this, Li Xiangqian couldn't help but sigh.

This is a group of men, as can be imagined, the highest standard of life, compared to those "conscientious" historical inventors of later generations, who said that the ancient society had any benevolence, righteousness and morality, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, and so on, everything is not as good as ancient times or something, but they forgot that at least in modern society, there is no such thing as eating children, and it will not turn the feet of millions of girls into deformities.

Thinking of this, his desire to transform this society became even more urgent, so he continued: "By the way, I'll show you the map. ”

His memory is not bad, this is a compulsory course for infantry officers, and after a while, he will have a simple world map, of course, it will not be too detailed, but the details of several major states are almost the same, and the general shape has a rough idea, especially the Celestial Empire, and finally, he pointed a location with a branch, "What about us, we are roughly here now, 200 miles to the northwest, it is the imperial capital, and then follow this line." ”

Then, his branches began to swim towards other positions: "You see, this is called Australia, here is called New Zealand, well, here is called Taiwan, they are all empty, and there are good places everywhere that can harvest a lot of grain in a year, so let's make a promise to you here, if next, your battle is good," At this time, he consciously pointed to the Mauser rifle and said: "My war is not for you to fight with your life and blood, there are our spaceships, and this new gun, You only need to chase the enemy from a distance and fire your guns, it is enough, when I introduced you just now, it seems that as long as you do a good job, when the time comes, you can get your own land under the government's new colony, as for how to get the land, of course, it is on horseback, well, can you ride horses. ”

"Of course we'll be on horseback, my lord." Seeing them say this, Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "Look at the place, I promise you, in these new colonies, give each of you a stick of incense, and within this stick of incense, you can go to the horse race, as long as it is within the range of the horse, according to the law, it belongs to you." ”

These people became excited at that time, and asked nonchalantly, "My lord, what a stick of incense?" ”

"What kind of horse it is?"

"Forehead......" Li Xiangxin said, where has it been recorded in the history books, what kind of horses were used by the Manchus at that time, and what kind of incense was used, but the thing of enclosure is indeed much more useful than saying how many acres of land and how many hectares of land.

Not to mention how complicated and difficult the fish scale diagram of this era is, for these semi-literate people, it is useless to say that numbers are useless, it is useless to say that feelings are useless, it is useless to say that the world is full of martial arts, and it is useless to say that China is anything.

However, after careful and careful comparison, he still followed a suggestion from Zhao Jiaren: the land obtained for nothing is rare to anyone.

Originally, Li Xiangqian planned to rely on advanced scientific and technological forces, relying on strong military, health, economic, and organizational structure advantages, crushing other populations on this planet, exporting contradictions and crises to the outside world, colonizing a large number of people overseas, and finally achieving the important task of unifying the earth.

But if he gave them the land for nothing, they might not cherish it, really.

A person, only what he has worked hard to get, will really cherish.

At that time, when Li Xiangqian was communicating with others in the communicator, Zhao Jiaren, who was compiling the list, suddenly told such a story, "This is a story passed down from generation to generation in my family, about a landlord who found that his son was eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, and was worried that his family business would be lost in the future, so he kicked his son out of the house and ordered him to make a sum of money before he could go home, as their own money, go home and hand it over to the landlord, the landlord ......"

Li Xiangqian hurriedly said: "That landlord must not believe it, and then beat him." ”

"Don't make trouble," Zhao Jiaren continued: "The landlord took the money, threw the money directly into the firepower of the stove, and then looked at his son, and said, this money is not earned by you, dare to lie to me, give me a roll, and then drove away the son, and the son was desperate, and then he couldn't find anyone to find his mother, it turned out that he was blocked by the landlord, and the son could only go to the city, and finally there was no way, he worked for people and made a little money, and his hands were bloodstained, and there were countless blood blisters on his feet, and finally, he took the money and went home, and gave the money to his father. This time the money was no longer the whole money like last time, but bits and pieces, but it was thrown into the fire again, and this time, the son rushed to the fire like crazy, put his hands that had been ground all over the blood blisters and scars, and shouted, Dad, why are you burning my hard-earned money. ”

"I got what you mean, it's true, only what you have worked hard to get can be cherished, and then support our system, then our new homestead bill must be fine-tuned a little, at least to contribute to the country."

Liang Cunhou suddenly said: "It's nothing, just do a treatment according to the contribution value, according to the military rank or military merit, how many acres each civilian shares, more points for meritorious points, this is not new, our positioning is the government, not businessmen, to form a social atmosphere, businessmen to reward, scientists to reward, soldiers to reward, only to create a system that supports the army and gives priority to families, and everyone strives to join the army." ”

This is why Li Xiangqian can say this to these people here, although the formulation of the policy and how to rationalize it rigorously still needs a lot of paperwork, but it does not prevent him from starting to publicize their land policy.

Although their land policy was radical, it was also very simple, nationalizing the land, but giving the people the right to use it, and for those who already owned the land, they did not carry out any land reform policy, but cracked down on the use of land to control the population and labor, further relaxed the personal freedom of slaves and maids, followed the good example of the British, and sent all the unstable factors in the country to the major colonies.

This is what a progressive regime should do when it goes back to the end of the Ming Dynasty.
