Chapter 165: That's How to Play! That's that confident!
In October 1862, less than a month after the establishment of the American Empire, construction was in full swing, and the workers on the site were building ...... Lavatory!
Okay, it's a bit embarrassing, but it's not very dirty when building toilets, and it's no different from ordinary projects.
It's just that the toilet thing needs to be repaired so beautifully? This is better than the average house, now most of the houses are wood, but the toilet is made of stone and cement, and ah, a pit is a pit, very good-looking.
James at work on the construction site. That's what Havel thought in his heart, this black guy was a slave before, and he was only freed after the ** army conquered California and established the American Empire.
You know, it saved him at least $600, and more importantly, after the empire was built, he even gave him an extra $30, oh, the American dollar. You know, 8 American dollars can buy a barrel of flour, and these 30 American dollars can make him live a good life for a month, at least.
However, James had to work for the Empire, which meant that he had to build toilets now, and with him were a lot of Californians, all of whom used to be poor, and all of them were exchanging money on credit for American dollars.
However, the current small life is really good, although he has a lot of criticism about repairing toilets when the empire was just founded.
What micro-words? Is a black man so highly educated?
"People in the city really know how to play ......" is James' whisper......
Well, I don't know what netizens from a big country will think more than a hundred years later, but that's what James thinks now, the ** army is from New York, it's a big city......
"Hey! James! ”
"Hey! I'm here! ”
Someone called him, what is this for?
"Congratulations! The Emperor of the Socialist Democratic Empire of the United States of America has decreed that you can own a piece of land! ”
"A piece of land?!"
James couldn't believe his ears, he could own a piece of land as a black slave? This......
Thank God!
Yes, at this time, people still put God first in their hearts, but James did not forget the emperor.
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
But what's going on with this land?
It's very simple, James is a citizen of the city, then he has a homestead, simply put, he can build a house on it, and if he can't build it himself, or he doesn't want to build a house, then he can use this land to exchange for a house, that is, for a ready-made house, generally speaking, this area can't be compared with a homestead, to put it bluntly, it's generally a room.
But this thing is yours, it's yours personally, it's assigned to you by the state, and you have the right to use it!
Yes, that's the key, the right to use, not the ownership!
Emperor Clint. Li I had just issued a decree that all the land of the empire belonged to the state, not to him personally, but to the entire people. But it is clear that the whole people cannot administer the land, because they are so numerous that they cannot agree on it, so the right to distribute this land is given to our great emperor, who will administer it, and the people enjoy the right to use it.
This matter, it sounds like the people are at a loss, but in fact, there is now a condition that supports Li Mengyang to do this, that is, many people now have no land, and they don't have it anyway, so now they have the right to use, which is stronger than before, right?
The second point is that some of the guys who had land before, most of them ran away, and they ran by boat, and the people who had money were the absolute first to run away in the turmoil in California before.
A large amount of land is in a state of ownerlessness, to be honest, this saves a process of fighting local tyrants, let's just divide the land.
And the third point, that is, we have all started to repair the toilet, the land for the toilet, you say, how to calculate this?
The public toilet can't be my emperor's house, right?
I, Li Mengyang, am not an old man who watches the toilet!
The public toilet must not be regarded as a personal one, but at the expense of the state, then the public toilet should be regarded as a state, which is a public facility, a public facility provided by the state to the broad masses of the people.
In this case, the concept of public facilities is introduced, and a little further, then the concept of 'public' comes out!
Don't underestimate such a concept, because such a concept has not existed before.
In the past, there were only theories, of course, and some practical projects were made, such as Owen's community, but basically failed, and now European and American capitalism has public projects, but these projects are hung under the names of some kings.
For example, the lighthouse, this is a public facility, but there is a big talk about it, and the British lighthouse system is very interesting, the pilotage union takes the patent rights from the monarch, and then they invite bids, anyway, a lot of things, and this later derived a term called 'lighthouse economy'.
Let's put it this way, there are very, very many ways to talk about it, that is, there is a very intriguing relationship between the public and private economies, and people in this era can't figure it out at all. Maybe they're doing it, but it's definitely crossing the river by feeling the stones.
What we Chinese are most familiar with in later generations is, how can you still pay fees when you build a highway? Do you look at the country of hope? In fact, the Hope Country also collects money.
But of course Li Mengyang knows about this, the lighthouse economy is ever-changing, and infrastructure construction is what we see the most in later generations, but now he has used a very strange means to pry this thing into a crack.
That's right, it's to fix the toilet!
You see, building a toilet not only creates a public health system, but also a land problem, and introduces the concept of public housing and the construction of public facilities.
Is this toilet repairing powerful?
Of course, the current American empire has just been established, and many things are crossed by feeling the stones, so the land problem cannot be solved overnight, and the agricultural land is different.
However, these policies are really dazzling to see these ministers of the American Empire, can our policies be successful?
It's still internal affairs, but no one seems to have done this before, right?
"陛xià! Will our current policies succeed? ”
Similar to this, many ministers have asked, and they really don't know the bottom of their hearts.
So how did Li Mengyang answer?
It's very simple, "It's going to work!" ”
Yes, that's how confident!
This...... Is Li Mengyang's self-confidence right? This is governing a country, has Li Mengyang done it before?
It is true that Li Mengyang has not done this before, he has not governed a country, but he has learned!
How did you learn it?
Let's just say that the previous policy of issuing banknotes, through this policy has solved California's economic problems very well and avoided hoarding, on this matter, do you think it is him Li Mengyang himself?
Li Mengyang admits that he is talented, but he really didn't come up with such a powerful method, so where did he get it?
The history of the party is the history of the party!
When the Red Army came to Zunyi, on the one hand, it was a meeting to determine Mr. Mao's status, on the other hand, it was that the army was very tired and needed to replenish all kinds of materials, but you have to know the situation at that time, how wolf the Red Army in the Long March was?
Do they have enough silver in their hands?
Naturally, there isn't, so what to do?
Mao Zemin, who was the governor of the Central Bank at the time, and his comrade Mo Juntao and others, who were responsible for raising supplies for the Red Army, came up with a trick.
When they fought Zunyi before, they blamed a lot of salt, which was smuggled salt, that is to say, there must be a shortage of salt in Zunyi City, so they ...... Selling salt?
Sell salt, but this salt must be bought with a military ticket from the Red Army!
This trick is equivalent to issuing currency, because everyone needs salt, so they have to exchange silver yuan for military tickets, that is, the currency of the Red Army, and then the Red Army has silver yuan, which can be used to raise materials, and then through guò a variety of means of circulation, before the Red Army left, they took back the military tickets and exchanged the silver yuan for huàn to the common people.
In total, the Red Army stayed in Zunyi for more than ten days, and they completed such an economic action, completed the financing of materials, issued currency and recovered it, did not let the people lose, and replenished themselves, this means......
Some people must be saying, what is this?
Li Mengyang knew, this process seemed to be nothing, as if the final result was to turn salt into the materials needed by the Red Army, but the significance of this is really not small.
What is it called?
This is called the material standard!
The Americans learned this hand 40 years later, and they built a system at that time, which is the 'petrodollar' that will affect the whole world in the future!
Do you think this hand is powerful?
Li Mengyang is now painting a tiger according to the cat, and his banknote issuance is actually based on this.
But however, he combined with the actual situation in California, and he did not copy it completely, which is the experience he figured out when he was in Kansas, that is, many things in his head are good, but they may not be suitable for the current United States!
And now, many policies are not understood by others, but in fact, these are all things that Li Mengyang is using what he has learned, but these things have changed their appearance, and they have to be combined with the actual situation at the moment!
So how can it not be done?
The successes and failures of a large organization, all kinds of lessons and lessons, Li Mengyang is all clear......
Anyway, let's toss!
It's all an internal affair, so what about the outside?
You know, the whole world now seems to be blockading and strangling the nascent American Empire.
"陛xià! We are now sitting on a mountain of gold, but this is not a way to sit and eat empty, how can we open up more open source? ”
The one who asked this was Secretary-General Lin Xiaoyi, and he had another question, that is.
"California has a sparse population now, and it's more than it used to be, so at present, it's about 100,000, how can that be good?"
These two issues are particularly critical, especially the latter one, although you Li Mengyang is engaged in the health system, but the speed of this method is slow, so how can our population be improved now? You know, the most cheating thing in California is that there are few women.
What can you do? R1152
