The next day.

"This scene, that's quite spectacular!"

Yang Qing stepped out of his carriage and looked at the crowd of people in the square in front of the Great Hall of the Four Peoples.

His land reform plan had been published in full in the newspaper four hours ago, which was enough time for the entire southern capital to see it, and it did not touch the common people except for those village sages who gritted their teeth like mourners. The vast majority of the land around Nandu belongs to Huangzhuang, and whether the reform is carried out or not has nothing to do with these Huangzhuang militiamen, and their interests have not changed in any way after the reform, because the land recovered by the Gongtian Law does not include the imperial property and the vassals. The latter includes the fiefs of those vassal kings and those fiefs of princes and uncles, all of which are not within the scope of redemption, and these lands themselves are given to them by the state, and the way of private ownership of land in the future can only be given by the state because of meritorious deeds.

Including the imperial property.

The emperor was also theoretically knighted.

Therefore, the scope of land redemption does not include those imperial villages that have been demarcated, although these imperial estates together have accounted for a large part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

North of the Yellow River is all.

The original Li Zicheng commune in Guanzhong and the Hebei Land Reform Area were all there.

The south of the Yellow River in Henan, Huaixi, and northern Hubei immigrants and cultivation areas, Huangzhuang in the south of the Yangtze River, Huangzhuang in Yunnan-Guichuan, and Guangxi Land Reform Area are all the emperor's property, as the state to the emperor's private territory, these are also not within the scope of redemption.

However, the grasslands in the north and the northeast and even the areas under the jurisdiction of the Wusizang Xuanwei Division are all classified as state-owned.

But no one cares about that.

Everyone knows that these are just words.

In this way, the real redemption is from the north of Shandong to the south of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou, but the latter two can be ignored, because the proportion of these two Huangzhuang is high. Especially in Guizhou, almost the vast majority of them are Huangzhuang, and the land reform in these two places is not the most important, but the land reform and return to the stream is, and these two provinces plus Guangxi and Xiangxi are all land reform and return areas. And the essence of land reform is land reform, because the Tusi area that changed the land and returned to the river before has become Huangzhuang without exception, so these places can be ignored.

Their land reform had already begun.

And only a small part of the land in Shandong needs to be redeemed, because the whole of Luxi and Lunan and Denglai are imperial villages.

The rest also have some Huangzhuang.

In this way, the real face of the Gongtian Law is a total of six provinces in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Fujian and Guangdong, which are also the six most economically developed provinces and the most densely populated six provinces in the Ming Dynasty.

Especially Nan Zhili.

This is the current fundamental place of the Ming Dynasty!

The magnanimity of the protector of the country shocked the entire southern capital, how many people dare not think of this kind of thing, and how many people are ruined after doing it, and then leave a stench for thousands of years, such as Wang Mang, such as Jia Yidao, all of them were nailed to the pillar of shame in history because they were bold and dared to move the land of the landlords. Now that the Protector has also taken this step, no matter what attitude he has towards the Protector at this moment, worshipping him, respecting him, and hating him are watching him walk out of the carriage as if watching a strong man singing about the wind and the cold......

"I bring you the future!"

Yang Qing raised his hand and waved the proposal for the public land law, shouting with confidence like Chamberlain, who had returned from the Munich negotiations.

"Traitor, you traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people!"

A voice rang out from the crowd.

Then the angry scolding sounded, and the old villager who raised his hand and angrily reprimanded the traitor was drowned by the people around him before he could react, and then his raised arm waved helplessly a few times, and disappeared with his scream......

Obviously, it is not okay to scold the protector.

It's okay to scold secretly and privately, but this kind of scolding in public is easy to be beaten by the believers of the protectors.

"Everyone, please exercise restraint!"

Yang Qingyi said rhetorically.

The indignant people stopped one after another, but someone still stepped on the old countryman a few times.

The latter snorted with blood on his face.

"One or two clowns can't stop the tide of history, and their madness can only show their fear, they are afraid, they are afraid of the awakening of the people, they are afraid of losing the support they rely on to oppress the people, so they desperately stop it. But no matter how crazy they are, they can't stop me, because behind me are 150,000,000 people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people have given me strength. ”

Yang Qing continued his performance.

The cheers were still there.

Regardless of whether they approve of the Gongtian Law or not, the common people's worship of him is real.

They don't care if the protector is right or wrong!

As long as the protector does it, it must be right, as long as it is the enemy of the protector, it is the enemy of all the people, although this worship is often criticized, but there are some things that want to be done, this worship is the most effective.

It's like building a railroad.

As soon as Yang Qing gave an order, countless young people around Nanjing immediately joined forces, and they didn't even want any compensation, and in eight months, a railway more than 40 miles long was built from scratch. During this period, a large number of workers even went to the construction site to voluntarily contribute to the call of the protector of the country every day despite the fatigue of a day's work. There is nothing wrong with fanatical idolatry itself, it depends only on how it is channeled, where it is used, and when it is used in the right place, and this worship can exert great power.

In the cheers that did not need any reason at all, the Lord Protector continued to move forward and walked towards the main entrance of the Great Hall of the Four Peoples.

And the permanent representatives are waiting for him.

Wang Fuzhi, who was at the front, watched his approach with complicated eyes.

After all, we still have to face this day.

Yang Qing has been planning this public land law for another day, in fact, almost all the high-level people know about it, and they all know that it cannot be stopped, so those Yang Qing's cronies have been selling land and selling land to the imperial court all these years. Then use the income from the sale of land to invest in industry and commerce, coupled with the turmoil in the stock market this time, these guys have withdrawn, and they can all stand by and watch coldly, and no one in the imperial court will stand up to stop Yang Qing. In fact, Yang Qing put forward this proposal in the name of the cabinet, or in the form of a new land law that was put forward by the Ministry of Households, approved by the cabinet meeting, and voted on by the Four People's Assembly.

As a result, the Four People's Congress was pushed to the front line of blocking......

The Cabinet is not necessarily unintentional.

After all, those guys in the cabinet also don't like this public land law, but they don't dare to stop it, so they simply push it to the Four People's Assembly, but there is no one to push the Four People's Assembly.

can only face Yang Qing.

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

Without looking back, he said, "Are you ready?" ”

The representatives of the four people behind him cringed.

It's clear they're not ready.

In other words, this is against the Protector, this is terrifying to think about, in the past ten years, all those who dared to go against the Protector have all become losers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't need to be afraid, our power is given by the people, even if the protector of the country cannot go against the will of the people, if we stick to the bottom line, what can the protector do to us? We are not traitors to foreign countries, our duty is to supervise the administration of the imperial court, and if we think that the actions of the protector are inappropriate, we naturally have the right to stop them. This move of the protector is the source of chaos, and we must not agree that this is the result of a dispute over political opinions, and the people of the world are responsible! ”

A scholar represents a morale-boosting model.

"Yes, we are not rebelling, the responsibility of the Four People's Congress, what can we do to protect the country?"

"The Four People's Congress is only set for today!"

……

The representatives of the scholars agitated.

Of course, they had no choice, but all the scholars had a large amount of land, except for the part of Jiangsu and Zhejiang that had been converted into capitalists, and the vast majority of them still relied on land to accumulate wealth, especially the shortage of raw materials brought about by industrial development in recent years, so that the landlords could enjoy wealth that was not inferior to that of the emerging capitalists. Now Yang Qing wants to do something to them, he wants to dig up their roots, it is completely unbearable, and he has to fight for his foundation to the end no matter what.

But it is not enough to represent the light of the scholars.

After all, they only make up a quarter, so more people must be mobilized to support it.

The effect is still there.

At least the permanent delegates are not trembling.

After all, Yang Qing is not Taizu, he will not connect the nine clans at every turn, and he is still very good at talking in the political dispute. The responsibility of the Four People's Assembly is to deliberate on the bills proposed by the Cabinet and to supervise the administration of the Cabinet.

It was impossible for Yang Qing to do anything about it.

It's the rule.

And it's the rules he makes.

He is not going to slap himself in the face for not following the rules he has set.

Wang Fuzhi sighed, and then walked towards Yang Qing with a smile......

"Protector!"

He arched his hand.

"Representative Wang, deputies, and the cabinet on behalf of the contemptible people officially submitted the draft of the Ming Land Law to the Four People's Congress, and asked the Four People's Assembly to deliberate and pass it."

Yang Qing said solemnly.

After speaking, he handed over the pamphlet of land law in his hand.

Wang Fuzhi took it with both hands.

He then forwarded it to another representative.

"Protector, we will deliberate on this draft, but the matter is big, we need to consider it carefully, the voting period will take time, during which we still need to ask the Protector and the cabinet to explain their doubts, and we also need to invite private elites to discuss together."

He then said to Yang Qing.

"Then I'll wait for good news."

Yang Qing said.

He had come to hand over the pamphlet, and he had not thought of voting today, in fact he had prepared for a long struggle, but in any case it would not be beyond the end of the year. Because at this time, the lottery of the representatives of the four peoples in various places has begun, and all the representatives of the new four people's congress will arrive before the end of the year, and officially perform their duties on the day of the winter solstice.

The new term is absolutely passed.

So if you want to stop him, you can only do it at this session of the Four People's Congress.

"Lord Protector, do you think this will solve all the problems?"

Wang Fuzhi endured it and asked.

"I'm hard to say sure if it solves all the problems, but at least it solves the bottom line. In this world, there will always be a gap between the rich and the poor, there will always be a difference between high and low, rich people can indeed have fine clothes and fine food, luxury houses, but rich people should not be hungry and cold, and sleep in the open. As a ruler, it is true that everyone is truly equal, which is so difficult that even I don't think I have the ability, but at least I have to maintain a bottom line, a bottom line that will not let people who have no money sink into the mire and become fish and meat. To put it simply, if you want to have no money, at least you can't let people starve to death and freeze to death, and if a ruler can't even do this, then he is not worthy of stealing his position. ”

Yang Qing said.

"Protector of the country, do you want to take away people's land and property for this?"

A representative of the scholars asked.

"First of all, the court will give money to the owner of the land if it is redeemed rather than seized, and second, it will be compensated for the 30-year rent-free right to open up part of the northern land, so how can it be said that the land is taken away?"

Yang Qing said.

As for the redemption is a land voucher, there is no need to talk about this question, and the land that is also compensated is those in the north that Huangzhuang disdains to cultivate because of poor natural conditions, and there is no need to say this. But in general, it is still possible to grow cotton on these lands, and he has developed all kinds of new pumping machines for this purpose, from screw pumps to piston pumps, especially when rubber can be obtained, and at that time it is possible to build a bunch of pressurized water wells. In terms of manpower, the slave trade has already begun, and this expansion to the South Seas will bring a large number of prisoners of war, although the Southeast Asians are lazy, but this is not a problem at all for these landlords who are proficient in all kinds of exploitation and oppression.

The whip will make them industrious.

And there is enough land in the north, and he has no problem with the replacement of the same area, and more than half of it can be solved in the northeast alone.

And there are no transportation problems.

The reclamation of the western regions does have to face the problem of not being able to transport it, but there is no problem in the northeast, although it is indeed a bit difficult to grow cotton in the northeast, but there is also the Hetao area, in short, he has enough land to send these gentry.

"So what if I don't sell it?"

The representative of the scholar said.

"If this land law is passed, then your behavior is a crime, and the offender can only be dealt with according to the law."

Yang Qing said.

The representative of the scholar sneered, and finally didn't dare to continue to discuss this issue with him, since Yang Qing respected the Four Peoples Conference, there was no need to waste spittle with him here, and then fight in the Four People's Conference!

"In addition, I would like to announce that in order to show our support for the Gongtian Law, Her Majesty the Empress has decided that once the Gongtian Law is passed, then all the fields in Beizhili will be donated to the country in the form of free donations, and all the imperial estates in the original Beizhili Land Reform Area will be donated to the state. In addition, the king of Jingjiang has also made a decision, once the Gongtian Law is passed, then he will also sacrifice all other fiefs except Lingui County, and hand over the Jingjiang Domain's guards to the Dadu Governor's Office for reorganization, and the power to govern the people in Lingui County will also be returned to the imperial court. ”

Yang Qing said.

Well, King Jingjiang completely surrendered.

He completely surrendered in less than two years by offering three fiefdoms, and only kept one Lingui County as the same local lord as the other vassal kings, thus ending the secession of the Jingjiang Domain.
