Chapter 756 40 million square kilometers

There are thousands of families like Zhang Fagen in China, which is why there is a small amount of 190 billion war bonds for sale. China's victory in this war has their indelible contributions.

In March 1897, in February of the 21st year of the new Qin Dynasty of the Chinese calendar, Liu Xian landed at the dock in Tianjin. First, the Praetorian Guards landed ashore, and then Liu Xian walked down the gangway from the treasure ship, a luxury royal passenger ship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons.

More than 200,000 people were crowded in the entire port of Tianjin, plus the landing Janissaries and the military and police in charge of guarding the surrounding areas, more than 300,000 people shouted in unison, and the waves of the sea were calm at this moment.

The photo of Liu Xian standing at the gangway and waving to the military and civilians at the port has become one of the most shining historical moments in his life. Decades later, the descendants of a reporter took out the negative of the photo left by his grandfather, although this is not unique, many reporters at the time captured that scene, but it still sold a sky-high price of hundreds of millions of yuan.

"He is the God of China. His prestige and cohesion to the people are unmatched by any great man in history. ”

More than a month later, the British newspaper The Times published the photo on its front page, capping it with a comment that Europeans would never be able to match.

Comparing a pagan to God is something that is unthinkable in Europe. Even though the influence of religion has weakened much in Europe. A lot. Pope Leo XIII of the Vatican issued a protest on the same day against the inappropriate remarks of the Times, and a statement demanding a positive apology from the newspaper and the elimination of negative impacts.

But the whole of Europe seems to be silent. There were not many newspapers at all following Pope Leo XIII's cry.

Opposite. The Morning Post in Paris, France, published a cartoon the next day showing an arm in a Chinese dragon robe stretching out from the east over Europe. The shadow of that great hand hangs over the heads of all Europe, obscuring the glory of heaven.

This is the most direct monologue of European countries about China at this moment!

China does not have the same strong technology and capital as Europe. But the Chinese population is large, and they have a military source that rivals or even exceeds that of the whole of Europe. Chinese can fight wars and endure hardships, and although the victory of the war is largely due to China's various new weapons, the foundation of these new weapons is China's army, and without these new weapons, Chinese is also invincible in the Far East, far from Europe.

All of Europe shuddered under the shadow of China. The Germans merged with the Chinese, but Wilhelm II must have been wary of China in his heart. China. Especially in this country under the undefeated Emperor Liu, it is hopeless to be completely powerful!

Because to fight China, we must first defeat their God of War Emperor, and to defeat the Chinese Emperor, we must first defeat the hundreds of millions of Chinese who revere and worship him. This is something that cannot be done by bringing together the forces of the whole of Europe.

……

It has been some time since the end of the war, and the 200 million pounds in reparations to the Americans has only just arrived at 50 million, and the rest will take five years to repay, but the 50 million pounds has also completely eased China's finances. Because this money is pure income, it is completely different from the nature of the funds obtained from war bonds.

Domestic prices and grain prices have fallen to varying degrees. Among them, the largest decline was in cloth. As soon as the Double 12 Peace Treaty was reached, a large number of British steamers arrived in China carrying cotton and cloth. Five days before the New Year's Festival, the domestic cloth price, which had soared for three years, fell for the first time, falling by more than 15%. to the fifteenth day of the first month. The price of cloth in the country has plunged,

Of course, the return and discharge of a large number of servicemen. After the Chinese New Year, after Liu Xian returned to the ZN Sea. It also unfolded. China now has land to give them.

Half of the 2 million soldiers of the North American Expeditionary Force were discharged on the spot, and then divided into hundreds or even thousands of acres of land. It has taken root in the vast lands of North America. Some of the remaining people chose the elite to return to China, and then when the troops began to be reorganized, they organized new elite troops, and also took the opportunity to disperse the small hill forces formed in the war. The other part will return to China and be discharged from the army, and they will be placed in Northeast China, Central Asia, Yan and Zhao, and even Nanyang.

Without war, China would have been a society with the theme of migration for ten years.

The population of the country will spread in all directions in the form of 'millions'. Even in the icy Alaska, hundreds of thousands of people will pour into the past. It was the size of the entire three eastern provinces, but it was inhabited by only 50,000 or 60,000 people. And after the signing of the "Double 12 Peace Treaty", many people also fled to Canada, and now Alaska is afraid that there are not even 20,000 people.

Liu Xian is now very fond of looking at the new map of China, what a vast empire this is. Not counting North America, not counting the South Seas, China is just an equilateral triangle with small angles. 40 million square kilometers of land is also a new empire on which the sun never sets!

Its vast area, the strength of its enemies, and the vastness of its warfare have been matched by the Mongol Empire throughout the ages.

Relative to the British Empire, which is 34 million square kilometers, the enemies of the Anglo-Saxons are too weak. Its fineness and hardness are far less vivid than those of the New Qin Empire. Population restrictions have made large-scale land wars a dead end for the empire on which the sun never sets. In addition, there is also a qualitative difference between the colonial rule of the British Empire and the New Qin Empire, which is owned by the whole nation.

Liu Xian is using the Chinese sword to fight for land for China's plow. Large-scale immigration in the next place is the real expansion of the living space of the nation. Even if these places become independent again after a hundred years, the owners of these lands will only be Chinese.

In the spring of the 21st year of the new Qin, the whole of China moved.

On 18 February, the state issued an official notice that war bonds could be used in the new land vouchers. Northwest, Central Asia, Northeast Asia [beyond the Outer Khingan Mountains], Siberia, North America and South China are divided into five grades.

Northwest land, 100 war bonds, that is, 100 Chinese dollars, is worth 1 mu of land bonds.

Central Asian land, 120 war bonds, that is, 120 Chinese dollars, equivalent to 1 mu of land bonds.

The land of Siberia is the same as the land of the Northwest.

Northeast land [outside the Outer Khing'an Mountains], 125 war bonds worth 1 mu of land bonds.

North American land, 250 war bonds worth 1 acre of land bonds.

The price of land in Nanyang is the most expensive, 400 war bonds are worth 1 mu of land coupons.

With the exception of Alaska, the state has officially announced the abolition of state-owned immigration. But each migrant still maintains a basic land allocation. In addition to 10 acres of land in the South Seas, 30 acres in North America and 50 acres in other places.

China's state capital also auctioned off large quantities of machinery and motor vehicles, which could be reduced by 20 percent of the price if offset by war bonds. Therefore, although Huaxia Bank still stopped selling war bonds, the war bonds in the market are even hotter than before.

Even nationals of Korea, Southwest Japan, the Nguyen Dynasty and other vassal countries, and even high-ranking officials and dignitaries, began to buy war bonds at high prices in large quantities. If they immigrate to Xinqin and Xintu, although they will not have the basic land distribution of the people, they can use the war bonds in their hands to buy the corresponding land, and they can also gain a foothold outside.

This is an absolutely big bargain, and with a small amount of money, you can easily become a big landlord outside. This is a great opportunity to buy an estate, or arrange a branch, a concubine, or even a second son.

Everyone who is a son wants to leave a rich family property to his sons. The bigger the family business, the more so.

However, in order to maintain the prosperity of the family, the property must not be divided equally. I don't know if the ancestors of the Chinese 'ranked' the weight of the Shuzi so lightly because of this reason. Therefore, the division of the Chinese family is more about the private property of the parents. This is not the case with sacrificial fields and clan properties!

The concubine has very few assets, even if it is a powerful family in the world, if the concubine is not able to do it himself, the wife family is still mediocre, and the family is at most a middle class. Of course, the particularly favored concubines are not in this case.

The eldest son, the second son, and the third son...... Dividing the property - Generally, after all the parents have died, one of the parents is still alive, and most of them are not separated. An example is the Rongguo Mansion in "Dream of Red Mansions". The Rongning family was divided, but Jia Zheng and Jia Yu did not split because their mother was still there.

If Rongguo Mansion is rich and secure, and the house is not raided, when Jia's mother goes to Anli to divide the family property, it is also seventy-three, the eldest son accounts for seven, and the second room is three. If there are three or five sons-in-law, the eldest son will have at least half of the family property, and the remaining sons-in-law will divide it equally.

But as a parent, I hope that every son can have an inheritance of the family business. But at home, it's very difficult. Because in the old land of China, where land cannot be concentrated, it is difficult to find a safe and profitable business. No matter how thriving a business is, there is a time to cool down.

Why are Chinese so obsessed with land? In addition to China's social structure, an agrarian society, land is fundamental, because land is a business -- to a large extent, it can be bought and sold without losing money.

This opportunity is not available in the old land in the country, but the new soil is dried in front of everyone. Who doesn't want to take the opportunity to buy tens of millions of acres of land. Even if there are very few people anywhere now, tenants can't be found, and they are tens of thousands of miles away, very far away, this is still fascinating.

With 460 billion war bonds, no one is thinking about the interest rate of war bonds anymore. If you want money, take it to the exchange, and change hands is a much higher income than interest. This money will really wait until the date to be converted into money, and I am afraid that there is no one in ten.

Although this has caused the country to 'lose' hundreds of millions of acres of land, is it not the driving force that drives the countrymen to move outward?

Among other things, the Mississippi River basin in the United States alone has 3 million square kilometers, of which 1.2 million square kilometers belong to the fertile black soil area. One square kilometer is one hundred hectares, and one hectare of land can be counted as 15 acres, that is, one square kilometer of land is 1,500 acres. Then count how many acres of land the Chinese government has in North America alone! (To be continued......)
