The night with Jeanne Drellers was quickly forgotten, because the agricultural reform in the Kingdom of Lithuania had been initiated, and although the matter was completely handed over to the new Lithuanian Minister of Agriculture, Tian Yiliang, could Ernst really ignore it completely? Although Lithuania is not a large agricultural country, there is a lot of arable land, and most of it is fertile land, and the nobles of Lithuania have lived and lived a superior life on them for thousands of years.

The land was private wealth, so there was no reason for the Kingdom of Lithuania to participate in whatever they wanted to plant, and they were also an important obstacle to the Kingdom's urbanization. After all, the nobles living in their territory were able to obtain cheap labor, and most of them went to live in the towns, so wouldn't their costs increase?

Ernst also did not want to continue to increase the influence of these nobles in the local area, and recovering their territory was the most appropriate option, but how to recover it needed to be discussed, and one mistake could end in a rebellion.

It was best to increase the profits of industry, as in Moravia, and to make the nobles who owned a lot of land so that they could start investing in industry, but the finances of the Kingdom of Lithuania did not support such an approach, and the Czech principality had done its best not to continue the loans.

Roads and railways need to be built, and a lot of money is needed to promote urbanization, all of which are being advanced by the Royal Czech Bank, and in short, most of the things in the Kingdom of Lithuania have been mortgaged to the Royal Czech Bank. Fortunately, the sole shareholder of the bank is Ernst, otherwise Lithuania would have been able to change its name now.

The first decree of the Kingdom of Lithuania on agrarian reform states that the forests, rivers and underground resources of the whole country belong to the national wealth and cannot be exploited by private individuals at will. A simple decree provoked protests from most of the nobles, who believed that everything in their territory was their own, and that even the royal family and the government had no right to erase their ownership of the land.

As if protesting alone was not enough, the aristocrats even sided with the local garrison to provoke the government and the royal family, hoping to get the other side to compromise. It is obvious that the other party does not know Ernst's character, and since the day he came to Lithuania, Ernst has already regarded military power as his own, and now the nobles everywhere are no longer as simple as provocations, in Ernst's eyes they are rebelling.

After urgent consultations with the Cabinet, the next day the Kingdom of Lithuania declared a rebellion of six noble families, and more than 60% of the country's officers were dismissed.

Ernst's attitude was so tough that no one expected, and the officers who wanted to gain some benefits were dumbfounded. They are well aware of their combat effectiveness, what is the difference between themselves and ordinary people in arms compared to the Royal Czech Army?

The aristocrats are unwilling to be arrested, because they want to fight, and it doesn't matter if they can't flee overseas, after all, the United States still welcomes them rich people to go, but what they never expected was ......

The city of Kalinin is one of several large cities in the Kingdom of Lithuania, its location on the border between the Kingdom of Lithuania and East Prussia, and its economic status is also among the highest in the Kingdom of Lithuania, because of its proximity to the sea, the local fishing and agriculture are the main sources of income.

The agrarian reforms greatly affected the aristocracy here, who for centuries lived on the land and the sea. Now the government tells them that they can't catch fish in the sea and that the resources in their territory can't be exploited at will. Territory or theirs?

The nobles were dissatisfied, so they protested, they paid their interests to collude with the local garrison, they prepared to demonstrate, they thought that in this way Ernst would be able to compromise and restore everything to its original state. But the result was beyond their imagination, and the bad news soon came, and Ernst decided to solve the matter in a different way.

First of all, the six largest nobles in the region were declared a rebellion, and then most of the officers in the country were deposed, not expelled from the army, but fearing that some innocent people would be implicated. And this incident relieved the panicked nobles, because they thought that it was impossible for the military to compromise, and could only stand with them and stand tenacious to the end, and finally forced Ernst to compromise, but ......

That night, the city of Kalinin was in chaos, and a large number of soldiers came to the homes of the nobles, who did not look at these luxurious estates with envy and admiration as they had in the past, but chose to rush in. There was no killing or destruction, they just arrested all six family members announced by the government.

Several major families have a lot of influence in the local area, whether it is the military, the government or the police department, they have their family members, but at this moment these family members are also arrested. It was not the Royal Czech Army that did it, they were still on the road at this time, it was the local garrison that really did it, and it was the deposed officers who gave the order.

The officers are well aware of their strength, and if they fight to the death, they must die, and the government does not expel them from the military, but only removes them from their posts. In itself, they are already satisfied with the current result of their own provocation, and those nobles really have no way out, and there is no need for them to stand with them...... That's what the officers think.

They did what they thought, because the other party had no ability to resist at all, and it was just one night that the city was turned upside down. Some of the people who lived in the suburban estates were also under control at this time, and now they were waiting for the arrival of the Royal Czech Army to see if there was a chance to atone for their crimes and keep their officer positions.

The status of the military in the Kingdom of Lithuania has not been very high, so the salaries of these officers are not very high, and now they are just removed from their posts, and there is really no need to break the net. And they also see a glimmer of light, His Majesty didn't remove their military status, is this a chance to show themselves?

The situation in the city of Kalinin also arose throughout Lithuania, where a large number of officers chose to seize the opportunity, while a small number ...... It also doesn't matter anymore.

In the end, Ernst still used the method of controlling the Czech principality, the first time, the second time, I believe that it will not be easy for Ernst to obtain any country in the future, because the local royalists must be nobles, and Ernst, who can be called the killer of the nobility, is obviously not in their welcome range. Of course, it is not completely impossible, as long as the country is broken and crippled, and their aristocratic power will collapse, then it will be much easier.

Because only a few families were declared a rebellion, the rest of the families were simply controlled by the local army and did nothing else. However, their attitude showed that they fully complied with the advice of the cabinet and did not complain or reluctance to recall.

Agrarian reform and military reform are so well grounded? It may seem simple, but don't forget that Lithuania is only a small country, especially a small military country, they don't actually have any bargaining chips in front of Ernst, the throne may be, but with the completion of Ernst's coronation, then they are like standing naked in front of Ernst in full armor, and the only thing they can do is to let him slaughter.

Underground resources, rivers, and forests were all state-owned, and the next step was a state-owned agricultural program like the Czech principality, in which the Lithuanian cabinet, which had chosen to directly promote urbanization, exchanged industrial and non-agricultural land in towns for agricultural land in the hands of the aristocracy.

In fact, such a business is not a loss, a 300-pound plot of land is worth only 300 pounds, and a 300-pound shop is far more than 300 pounds. However, there was a large amount of profit, so the distribution process was supervised by officials from the Czech principality, and if any unevenness was proven, the main person in charge was punished with 10 years' hard work.

Punishment of toil? After all, the Kingdom of Lithuania does not have much industrial land and companies, so the commercial streets built in the process of urbanization are compensation for the aristocracy, such as 10 acres of land for a 50-square-meter shop or 100-square-meter apartment. Of course, this is only a distance, and the specific replacement ratio will naturally vary according to the price of local land. The 20-year sentence of hard labor is to make the prisoners work like this for 10 years, during which they have the shortest and worst time to rest and eat, and do not receive any salary.

In fact, it was the slaves of the Middle Ages, and the criminals were not only imprisoned to prevent them from continuing to make mistakes, but also punished in Ernst's view. The death penalty has been abolished in the Czech principality, and the maximum punishment is 30 years of hard labor. In fact, it doesn't take 30 years, basically the kind that is too tired for a few years is already exhausted.

Although there is no death penalty, in reality such a punishment is worse than death. Many Czech citizens thought that such a punishment was hurtful, especially the Church, which openly expressed its attitude, but all this was silenced by Ernst's strong execution, and the Church retreated and did not take a public stand.

Ernst acquired the cultivated land of the whole country by means of an almost empty glove white wolf, the foundations of agrarian reform had been laid, and now it was a matter of time.

Regarding the processing industry in Lithuania, the cabinet of ministers also divides industrial zones according to the different environmental pollution and the impact on life, such as wood processing, grain processing, etc. However, it is important to note that no industrial processing can be carried out in towns, even in small workshops.

The suburbs were originally an area for leisure and where the aristocracy built their estates, but now it has been mostly converted into an industrial area, and you will need to go further afield to see the scenery.

The Kingdom of Lithuania began to make a clear distinction between industry and agriculture, and the areas of human life began to tear down low floors and replace them with apartments of 6 or 7 floors. The reduction in area also adds some modernization elements. Of course, if it is an older town, it will not be changed, because it will become a tourist attraction in the future.
