When the reform of the law on the mainland seemed to be in full swing, Wang Guorui also wanted to carry out his own reforms in Taiwan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all important households in Taiwan and important land gentry in Taiwan. And more than 70% of our land in Taiwan is in your hands, and you should have a good life recently, right? Wang Guorui asked.

"TOEFL TOEFL!" A landowner said.

Of course, Wang Guorui recognized it, this is Lin Weiyuan, the richest man in Taiwan, who is the largest landlord in Taiwan. And his sentence "TOEFL" is yin and yang, which is obviously very unpleasant. However, Wang Guorui also knows the reason why they are unhappy, that is, because Wang Guorui came up with the 375 rent reduction and interest reduction, as well as the so-called stepped agricultural tax policy, which made them lose money to their grandmother's house. And those big landlords can still support it temporarily, but the small landlords can only choose to sell their land. After all, too much land is not only not a good thing, but a burden, after all, there are a lot of taxes to pay.

And now Taiwan's land prices are also diving three times a day, and you can hear the news of the decline in land prices almost every day. And these big landlords have recently shrunk their net worth, as little as 30 percent, and as many as 50 or 60 percent. Of course, those ordinary people raised their hands in agreement with this matter, but they were not in a hurry to buy at this time, but hoped that the price of land would continue to fall, and they would buy it when it fell to the lowest point. This is the same as Wang Guorui's ordinary people in later generations, buying up and not buying down. They all want to wait until the bottom point to buy it, so that they can save a lot of money.

And those landlords looked at this situation, and they were all heartbroken. Their greatest wealth is land, but now that land is so cheap, it makes them feel heartache! Watching his wealth shrink day by day, of course, he is not happy. They hate Wang Guorui to the core. But there was no way to do it. In the past, they thought that they mobilized the children in their family not to work for Wang Guorui, thinking that this would force Wang Guorui to compromise. But they didn't expect that Wang Guorui pushed the boat down the river and directly accepted their resignation. In this way, Wang Guorui immediately had a large number of international students come in to work, so Wang Guorui is not afraid that no one will serve. Anyway, there are more people who want to be officials in China, and there is no shortage of people from the landlord class. These landlord classes were destined to be hostile to themselves. Therefore, Wang Guorui can exclude their people from officialdom, and that is still a hopeful thing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the emperor has ordered to carry out a reform of the law. As a loyal servant of the imperial court, I naturally have to respond immediately. And the emperor has proposed to establish various factories in Taiwan, as well as various strong armies and other matters, and we are already making preparations. And as a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, I naturally want to share the emperor's worries, and then develop industry. Wang Guorui said.

And the landlords slandered in their hearts: "You are a loyal minister of the imperial court? The rebels are not as vicious as you! ”

Although everyone said so in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it. After all, Wang Guorui is the "King of Taiwan". An out-and-out warlord, whoever dares to talk nonsense may be dragged out and killed. But now that Wang Guorui is loyal to the emperor one by one, no one can refute it, after all, there is nothing wrong with loyalty! So they could only wait silently for Wang Guorui's next step.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor's intention is obvious, that is, to establish a country where the tiller has his land, so we must let the tiller have his land. And more than 70% of our land in Taiwan is in your hands, so we want to let the cultivators have their land. Naturally, you can't do without your support, so I'm going to invite you to come and have a discussion. Wang Guorui said.

"Is that what the emperor said?" Lin Weiyuan scolded in his heart.

Wang Guorui: This is completely nonsense. Where does Guangxu's "Dingguo is Edict" say that the cultivator should have his land, and where does he say that he wants to defeat the landlord? The landlords were the ruling class of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if Emperor Guangxu said that he would bring down the landlords, then wouldn't he be digging his own grave? Emperor Guangxu obviously didn't say so, but Wang Guorui actually added it here like "the deaf can make words", and pretended to be in the name of Emperor Guangxu. People still take the quote out of context. But Wang Guorui is talking nonsense and talking nonsense with his eyes open. This made those landlords deeply feel Wang Guorui's shamelessness, his skin was thicker than the city wall, and he didn't blush when he talked nonsense.

"Guys, why are you so bad? Is it to the emperor's words. Not satisfied? Wang Guorui asked sternly.

"Lord Wang, tell me, what do you want to do? We must cooperate with the meaning of 'Emperor'! Lin Weiyuan said with a wry smile and helplessly.

Lin Weiyuan added an accent to the word "emperor", obviously very dissatisfied, but now that others are in Taiwan, they have to bow their heads! What's more, his main asset is land, and he can't take it with him at all. So he can only stay in Taiwan, even if Taiwan has been completely occupied by Wang Guorui, he has to stay in Taiwan, and their family is here!

And those landlords also expressed their willingness to obey the meaning of the "emperor", but they actually knew very well in their hearts who it meant. And Wang Guorui is also very satisfied, this is also the role of power, and they have military power in their hands, so they don't dare to resist at all. What's more, they don't need their scholars to serve themselves, and they have a large number of international students to do things for themselves, so where do they need to please these rotten people of the landlord class to survive? Therefore, Wang Guorui will not only not be able to please the corrupt Confucians, but will work hard to develop industry in order to cater to the ideas of those international students, and then let the country enter the capitalist era. Wang Guorui's standing class is capitalism, so these landlords are destined to either be their enemies, or they are to actively transform into capitalists, and there is no third choice. As for the enemy, what Wang Guorui took was to eliminate, completely eliminate it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, those of you who live by renting out land and exploiting the people have become more and more unpromising, and you can't generate any more economic benefits, and you can't make the country rich and strong, so is it interesting for you to do this? Suck the blood of the people who cultivate the land, and then make yourself nourished? This kind of small-scale peasant thinking has no meaning, so under the industrialization of the Western powers, you will not be able to have a future. So you have to change, and your land has to be settled, and then you have to give it to the landless people. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui finally had a showdown with them, that is, those of them who owned a lot of land, had to hand over the land and then change themselves. This is Wang Guorui's ultimatum, if they are still unwilling to hand over the land, then I am afraid that Wang Guorui will also be ruthless. At that time, not only will they not be able to get any compensation, but they will also be confiscated by Wang Guorui, after all, the large amount of land in their hands represents the old era, so since Wang Guorui wants to break the old era, he will definitely not let them go.

"Lord Wang, although we have a lot of land, it is also accumulated by our ancestors through hard work, and there are not too many ill-gotten gains. Although we are willing, it must also be reasonable and legal! According to what you said, Lord Wang, it is necessary to protect the legitimate private property of citizens from being infringed upon. If you want us to give the land directly to the common people, then aren't your chorus infringing on our legitimate private property? We have accumulated all this land, and if you confiscate it without us committing a crime, you are violating our private property rights. Therefore, please think twice before acting. Lin Weiyuan said.

"Huh? There's a set of this old thing! Wang Guorui thought in surprise.

This Lin Weiyuan is still somewhat familiar with Taiwan's laws, and he actually knows how to use the weapon of the law to defend himself? If it was the Manchu rule in the past, whatever the government said would have been, they would not have been like this at all. But now that he has changed, as a result, these landlords have also learned to use the weapon of the law to protect their land, which obviously doesn't know whether Wang Guorui should cry or laugh. After all, at least some people have increased their awareness of the law, but on the other hand, these people are using their own laws to oppose themselves!

"Regarding this matter, our government will naturally compensate. We will not let you give your land for free, and if we do not compensate, then we will all infringe on your lawful private property, which will definitely not work. Since we in Taiwan have enacted laws, that is, we must abide by them, and the inviolability of lawful private property is absolutely necessary. We didn't say that we didn't respect the legitimate private property of your ancestors, didn't we discuss this together? We compensate you financially and then compensate you according to the market value of the land, which is very fair to both parties! Wang Guorui said.

"Compensation? Give money? Does the Taiwanese government have so much money? Lin Weiyuan asked.

Lin Weiyuan does not believe that the Taiwan government has so much money, after all, this is more than 70% of the land in the whole of Taiwan, and it is impossible for the Taiwan government to take out so much money to redeem it at one time. And Lin Weiyuan just wants to delay, maybe things will change if he drags on like this.

"Of course, we in Taiwan naturally don't have so much silver. But we have another way, and that is to exchange land for shares! Wang Guorui said.

None of the landlords here understood what it meant to exchange land for shares. (To be continued......)
