"Enclosure Movement, Enclosure Movement......" Knowing that the formation of the Common Land Planning Management Committee was about to be completed, Ferdinand was still a little uneasy in the King's Hall in Valencia.

Most autocratic kings will not help those gray animals about these "little things" and some disputes.

"But I'm still going to go on......"

The next day, His Majesty Ferdinand, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Turkish Communist Party, King of Aragon and Sicily, and Chairman of the Council of Conscience and Religious Leadership, held a historic meeting in the palace of the King of Valencia, the first meeting of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Common Land Planning and Management Committee. The meeting will inaugurate the enclosure movement in the province of Valencia.

In the venue, Ferdinand was the first to walk in.

Then there are the representatives of the twenty great nobles, these twenty representatives are not the protagonists, and the selection arrangement is obviously problematic - one of them is the Marquis of Perez, who has returned from Italy, and the position is naturally needless to say, the other fifteen nobles are the big nobles who are engaged in cotton and grain cultivation, and they are all relatively supportive of the king's policy, only the last four sheep herding nobles who belong to the "Mesta" sheep lords, they are alone, and it is obviously impossible for these four people to oppose the policy proposed by His Majesty the king, So you might as well absorb into the Central Committee and be a foil.

After the nobles saluted the king, they took their seats, and then eighty knightly delegates, thirty clergy delegates, and twenty barons and viscounts entered the room. It is obviously problematic if the parliament is in session, but today is a meeting of the Central Committee of the Land Commons Planning and Management Committee, and the Turkish Communist Party is concerned with the issue of land property rights, and in Valencia, the Monk Knights are a force to be reckoned with. The viscounts were mostly government officials, so they naturally had to support the king's orders.

After bowing respectfully, they sat in a large area and waited for the meeting to begin.

The last to come in was a group of rare guests who had little say in the past.

They are the representatives of a hundred free village communities and small-scale subsistence farmers.

Although the peasant representatives came from the whole of Valencia, it was not easy to gather them, because the illiteracy rate of the peasants was very high, and it was not easy to single out the literate people - and the hundred peasant deputies were present at the Central Committee, and some of its branches were needed.

At the grassroots level, Ferdinand tried the methods of literacy assault training courses, but the peasants had to have a minimum level of knowledge, at least to know what was being discussed and what the basic meaning was.

The peasant deputies entered with great rigidity to the king and the nobility, and when the Central Committee was in session, in order to speed up the proceedings. Ferdinand simplified the etiquette of the meeting, and it was enough to bow to the king.

And these deputies are not the same as parliamentary deputies. The number of people did not decide, and resolutions did not need to be voted on, and Ferdinand had all the power to decide. But the discussion of the delegates was still necessary, and the representatives of the feudal nobility and the peasants were in the majority, and naturally there was a chorus of support for the king's policy, and the discussion was also conducive to "reaching a consensus" - not really to do it, but to form a mainstream voice in favor of the implementation of the policy plan, and to press those who were reluctant to reach a compromise.

After the scene at the meeting ......was quiet, Ferdinand began to speak, "Today, the theme and task of the first meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Turkey are already known, which is to introduce, discuss, promulgate, and implement a series of agricultural measures such as enclosing cultivated land......

"The basis and purpose of enclosed farmland is to allow landowners to have clear property rights and clear land boundaries. As long as this definition is complete, it is logical to erect a fence......"

In the present free village communities of Valencia, although the peasants became the owners of the land, except for little or no feudal obligation, the village fields were still divided into three large commons, each of which was subdivided into many long strips, and each peasant cultivated only one strip of land - although in Valencia the peasants were given a slightly larger number of strips. It is up to the village to decide what to plant, when to plant, and where to plant the field each year. All the cattle were grazing on one of the fallow fields.

What seems to be stereotyped and inefficient today? But in Valencia at the time, this was already a very advanced agricultural system in Spain, at least it had free village communities and a three-field rotation system (i.e., the three-garden system), which was still used in large areas of southern Europe with poor land.

"In Valencia's villages, except for public farmland, the rest is wasteland, swamp or woodland, and although it is open to everyone for livestock grazing, and others are allowed to cut thatch or collect firewood, the use of these lands is still very inefficient.

The peasant representatives agreed, and among the knight representatives, there were also those who were troubled by these factors, and they also discussed it.

"Then there is the conflict with the sheep farming," Ferdinand began, referring to the focal point between agriculture and animal husbandry, "the utility of public land is greatly reduced by the repeated trampling of herds, and the cultivated land of village communities and small land farmers is often encroached upon, as well as a number of cotton fields......

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four sheep herding nobles suddenly turned bad, but the others almost all nodded yes, it is true that extensive sheep herding has caused great damage to the farmland, and even some of the knights have been affected. Cotton planters are equally complaining.

"The time has come to reorganize the agricultural land and define clear land rights...... The Commission's prior investigation and assessment concluded that the cultivation of new crops and the care of livestock require individual effort and do not require the joint control of the whole village, which is neither flexible nor efficient...... Thus, the right of each peasant to work in the plot of work of the common land and to graze on the common land will be converted into the ownership of a large or small rezoning of land, so that everyone can manage the concentrated land, and as for the small land yeoman farmers in the vicinity of the village community, their property rights shall of course be recognized and shall be enclosed for cultivated land, and their rights to the common land for grazing shall also be calculated...... Cotton growers will enjoy certain preferential ......"

In Valencia, the main areas of adjustment are wheat and cotton, while rice fields are not affected for the time being. However, the rice fields were to be centralized according to Ferdinand's instructions, that is, rice growers would concentrate on the cultivation of rice, and their land would be granted private property rights and granted concessions to be exempted from feudal fees, which was an important step in Ferdinand's encouragement of grain cultivation.

Valencia, like some other provinces in southern Spain, was one of the few areas in medieval Europe where cotton was grown in large quantities, and "cotton, cereals, and rice should not be unsalable, and the government would ensure that all peasants could purchase their grain and cotton output." ”

……

As the sun set slightly west, the first day of the meeting came to an end and Ferdinand left the room. The Marquis of Perez accompanied him.

"Your Majesty," said the Marquis Perez in a worried tone, "it has been a month since the Imperial Decree of Industry and Commerce you issued has been issued, and although the Customs has basically carried out the order, many of the great nobles have complained about it. ”

"It's normal, it's detrimental to their interests," Ferdinand looked up at the sky indifferently, "you know?" In France, the Bourbons imposed five times as much tariff on wool exports as in Aragon – or after I raised the tariff rate, three-quarters of England's wool was not allowed to be exported, and I think they would ban it altogether! Spain is now the largest exporter of wool in Europe, and it is also cheap...... Hehe......"

"However, Nidhogg suspects that this will cause some bad ......"

"The council chamber next door will meet tomorrow," Ferdinand pointed to the right, "and they are going to discuss the bill to maintain the city's people's army." The force of the great nobles is now worse day by day, and it is not easy to speak without a gun. I heard from a sage in the East named Marxist-Leninist that the gunpowder invented by their country was breaking down and blowing up the fortresses of the landlords and nobles, which we had done eight years earlier, and that the professional army of the kingdom was now better able to suppress unseemly commotions. ”

"You are sure, but ......Your Majesty," the Marquis of Perez's lips pursed, and finally whispered the second half of the sentence, "I don't understand your intentions, I always feel that something has changed now, and it is very different from the past." I don't know what the consequences of this will lead to, but if the peasants get the right to the land, they will be satisfied? And the businessmen......"

"Yes, it will be very different soon, and Spain is the first to mutate, I think I am a new driver to follow the old road, and I still have a little road in my heart! My measures are already cautious, but partial reforms need to be accelerated! ”

"As to whether the peasants and businessmen will be satisfied, it depends on how the king operates, and a wise king will understand that the measures of governing the state cannot be for the sake of the king himself, but only for the benefit of the nobility."

Ferdinand now set up these committees, which can be regarded as the king himself began to settle down, ready to mingle with the feudal nobles and peasants, reach a consensus, and start to build a new era of imperialist monarchy with Spanish characteristics, and he did not do it all for himself. If he has gold on his face, he can pat his chest and say unashamedly: "I'm here for the world!" ”

"I can't say that it is for the sake of the world," Ferdinand looked at the representatives of the nobles, knights, and peasants with different expressions who left the field, and the world was intertwined here, "I can try at most 1.5 86!" ”

However, the words he said to his subordinates were very impassioned: "For the king, you are not ashamed to pass on the eternals, don't judge success or failure by three points!" ”

"We can't go back to the past, we have to go on......"
