Alfalfa, turnips, black beans, corn and other crops suitable for crop rotation have entered the north on a large scale, planting manuals written by Chen Jian have been published on a large scale, some European crop rotation experience has been exchanged, and new bloodlines of cattle, sheep and horses and other livestock suitable for breeding have been introduced......

low-priced cheap liquor for potatoes and sweet potatoes; large-scale occupation of land for breeding, crop rotation and sugar beet extraction; wool, the raw material for northern woolen textiles for overseas trade; The cotton textile industry in the south is undergoing changes, resulting in higher profits in cotton fields; A few years ago, Chen Jian first sold the hand-pulled machine to the Qi State of the East China Sea, and the preparation for large-scale planting of cotton fields brought about by the use of the open sea ban zone and ginning machine in advance was connected with the continuation of the development of the cotton spinning industry in the south in the following years......

This or that way of making profits led to a sharp acceleration of land annexation in the vicinity of the capital, and also led some discerning capitalists who had accumulated some of their wealth through commerce to invest in agriculture.

Growing grain is getting poorer, small plots of land are becoming more and more difficult to manage, the motivation to annex land is profitable, and the lack of capital leads to the inability to improve and build water conservancy......

For various reasons, some people who originally owned large tracts of land used semi-coercion to buy small plots of land nearby, and anyway, the price of food was not high, and the slightest use of means would bankrupt the small farmers; The use of coercive means to repossess the land of tenants broke the original tenant system, making those tenants become hired laborers, and also allowing many people to wander to the capital, becoming a factor of instability and a group of people that the big families urgently need to eliminate.

If science and technology cannot develop rapidly and the pressure of foreign migration cannot be relieved in large quantities, it will not be a hundred years before a peasant revolt will break out in the republic, because the industrial base and the external market for the time being cannot accommodate so much cheap labor.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be no second way except to break up and redivide, involution of small pieces of land, conservatism and stabilization, and religious and spiritual oppression to maintain stability.

The elites and people of insight in the old era have begun to get nervous, and they are trying to find a solution, looking at the geography and general system introduction of each country that Chen Jian sent back before, it seems to have found a mirror.

Chen Jian wrote the books on the history of geography and the general system, and he had a huge advantage, that is, he had studied a history textbook with a certain historical outlook, so the content of the compilation was not based on what happened in history, but on the production relations of the productive forces.

When these books were sent back to the capital, they caused a violent sensation, and those who seemed to have found a mirror also saw the horror of the storm under the land annexation.

From a certain point of view that standing and talking does not hurt their back, their ideas are "reactionary".

But if they are based on reality rather than knowing the power of science, industry, and trade, their methods are the most effective, the most long-lasting, the most stable, and even the best solution based on the old era.

Some families are also secretly trying to be the trendsetters of the times, borrowing conservative and even reactionary ideas to become the spokesmen of the "bottom", so as to achieve a transformation from an aristocratic republic to a hereditary absolute power dictatorship - for example, they put forward a perfect, old-fashioned and reactionary social concept, and they are full of temptation for some of the bottom.

Some families feel that the new forces may win, and they also try to be the trendsetters of the times, borrowing relatively more advanced ideas to become the spokesmen and pillars of the "new forces", so as to achieve a transformation from an aristocratic republic to a republic of hidden wealth and political hereditary family capital—for example, those emerging capitalists who secretly contacted the south, divided the heirs of the family and bet on both sides, and tried in vain to integrate with the new forces to fight against the old forces.

There are also some families who are just conservative and not reactionary, only thinking about maintaining the traditions of the republic, not wanting to go back or moving forward, trying to use the power of tradition to solve all these problems that have already appeared, and believing that tradition will suppress all kinds of contradictions, and only need to tinker on the basis of tradition, and this boat will not capsize.

Other families are muddy, conservative and conservative at the same time, drunk and dreaming of death. I don't want to be a trendsetter, and I don't want to think about it, I just live their lives step by step and according to hundreds of years of habits, and it seems that the world is stable, anyway, there have been few riots in any year? The riots today are not much different from those of the past.

open and secret strife between families; the personal changes felt by the Chinese people; the glory of the discovery of the New World constituted by the nations of the people; An activist with a lot of questions to ask Jian Chen; the great temptation of rent-seeking for overseas interests and rights; The confusion and anxiety of those who have the world in their hearts and the difficulty of seeing a way out......

All these have created this grand welcome ceremony.

In terms of formation, it will be worse than the triumphal ceremony after the War of Unification in a hundred years, and of course there is nothing to celebrate in this way.

When the Lanfang arrived at the port, it could be seen from a distance that it was crowded with people and flags fluttering.

The ships in the harbor took the initiative to get out of the way, the warships fired their cannons in salute, the white cashmere blankets spread out from the docks for a long time, and the soldiers stood guard on both sides to maintain order.

Without prior drills or prior notice, Chen Jian and the people on the boat were not intimidated by such a formation, and they had seen big scenes, storms, the cruelest seas, and tens of thousands of immigrants.

The people on board had changed into the most traditional costumes, and some special kaftans had been carefully removed from the chests, their hair arranged, and the folds on their shirts carefully smoothed.

After landing at the port, the cheers of thousands of people spontaneously or arranged in advance made the few people behind Chen Jian a little fluttery.

Chen Jian is calm, he didn't live in vain in his previous life, and such a scene is not panicked.

Many people threw tomatoes, tobacco, corn kernels, potatoes, sugar cubes, sunflower seeds, peanuts and other crops on the woolen blankets in front of Chen Jian and the group as the easiest way to express their joy.

The official carriage was waiting in front, deliberately leaving such a road, which was regarded as a gift of vanity to Chen Jian, and many people felt that he was worthy of such cheers.

But not everyone in the crowd thought so, and one man with a handful of corn kernels in his hand also cheered with the crowd, squeezed through the crowd, came to the soldiers who maintained order, and quietly touched the pocket hidden inside.

Inside was a flint spur, compacted with buckshot.

No one directs it, no one manipulates it, it's just for personal purposes.

The order maintained by the soldiers kept the crowd about forty paces away from Jian Chen, and the crowd around him was crowded, and there was only one chance.

This man understood that as long as he took out his gun, he would be knocked down by the angry crowd in the next moment, and watching Jian Chen slowly walk by, he became more and more nervous, and said that it would be good if he got closer.

The crowd around him made his arms very tired, and seeing that Chen Jian was about to walk over, the man gritted his teeth and took out a short gun, and shot Chen Jian in the distance, and he didn't know if he hit it in the smoke, and shouted: "You made everything mess up!" Eliminate harm for the people! ”

After the gunshots rang out, the faces of the officials in charge of greeting Chen Jian and the officers in charge of guarding turned white, and the surrounding crowd also became chaotic.

Fortunately, the lead bullet flew over Chen Jian's head, only breaking up a strand of hair, and his life hung by a thread. After Jian Chen reacted, he was surrounded by several people.

He wasn't too scared, he didn't die, he said that he had experienced countless bloody storms in his previous life, raised his hand and touched his broken hair, and shook his head with a smile.

After waiting for about ten seconds, he found that no bombs had been dropped, and Jian Chen finally reassured that this should not be a planned assassination.

The most popular thing in these years is that people can rival countries within ten steps, and such things have emerged in various countries. After waiting for the situation to be controlled for a while, the lone assassin was also under control, and the reason was quickly asked, or because of the various changes brought about by the appearance of Chen Jian, many people's lives were separated from the traditional life of the past.

The soldiers surrounded Chen Jian, for fear that something like this would happen again, Chen Jian waited for a long time without waiting for the bomb, and after hearing the assassin's reason, his heart was also relaxed, and he seized the opportunity to cause some turmoil for his trip to the capital.

At the insistence of the request, the soldiers surrounded Jian Chen, who stepped into the carriage and greeted everyone as usual. This calmness attracted another cheer from everyone.

Under the protection of the soldiers, under the gaze of the officials, and under the listening of those big family forces, Chen Jian spoke amazingly.

"Citizens of the Republic, I was almost killed. As for the reasons, you already know. ”

"But, people of the Republic, these corn, sugar beets, potatoes, new machines on the farmland, new machines for spinning, can indeed make us better than ever."

"It is said that a water-powered spinning machine can drive more than 100 spindles, and a few people can see it; It is said that a loom can weave twice as much cloth as it would otherwise be; It is said that the planting of potatoes and corn can make those who originally eat steamed buns eat meat once a month, so that those who are not full can at least eat enough. ”

"I was right to think so, mathematically correct, but it didn't, so I almost got shot."

"People, what's wrong? Is it the fault of these new things? Or is it something else's fault? Who's going to tell me? ”

"Nationals, the suffering of those who have lost their land, I have found a solution. You know that the Great Wilderness City exists, but immigrants need money, they need to build ships, they need seeds to cultivate cattle...... There are vast tracts of land worth cultivating, but I can only watch as the land is empty and no food grows. What is the value of land without work? However, in China, there are a large number of landless people who want to work but cannot, and suffer from it. Is this reasonable? What imprisons labor? What is it that imprisons the development of the total wealth of the people? ”

Those officials and officers who came to greet Chen Jian, as well as some people from the big family forces, when they heard this, their faces were several times whiter than when Chen Jian was assassinated just now, but seeing that these people had been instigated by Chen Jian, some people had already shouted that it was unreasonable, and some people had already asked why...... At this point, it is no longer possible to stop it.

Many people secretly wiped their sweat, worried that Chen Jian was going to shout something scary again, and said that this was really convincing, and they began to toss as soon as they came back, which is called fear that the world will not be chaotic. Who would have thought that a welcome party would be able to pull all of that? You say that you climb up and shout the victory of the republic, point to those new crops and say that this is the beautiful future of the republic, how good is that? Everyone laughed and was excited, why did they poke out such a big thing before they entered the city?

Kill but don't dare to kill, stop and have no guts, the fame is there, after all, you can only expect an autumn thunder to kill Chen Jian is the most perfect.

However, Chen Jian pressed his hand, quieted the surrounding voices, and shouted in a tone as if asking for the people's life: "People, as a representative of the National People's Assembly, I will put forward a proposal: levy a progressive tax, collect an excess land tax, count the landless people in the whole country, and immigrate them to the Great Wilderness City and the Southern Continent in batches. Since some families are the pillars of the republic and the guardians of their people, isn't it time for them to protect them in another way that is not guns and horses? ”

He bowed maliciously to the excited crowd around him, and stepped out of the carriage amid one cheer after another, looking at the pale people in the distance, with a serious face, but he couldn't hold back a smile in his heart.

Let those people take their own lives? Pipe dream.

But if they do not change their lives, the sanctity of the tradition of the National Assembly will be destroyed by a vetoed proposal.

Coupled with the propaganda of the country and the people, this thing of making something out of nothing will soon become known to the world.

Chen Jian has never relied on the alms of the Immortal Emperor, but some people have illusions, so they have to help those people break this illusion - it's not that we haven't thought about relying on charity and conscience, but it has been proved that this is ineffective.

Taking the opportunity to create such a big news and drawing a big cake that was bound to break, Chen Jian Shi sat in the carriage and headed towards the capital, with peace of mind and a ruddy face.
