Chapter 302: Emancipation and Pacification of Serfs
After the end of the Longhua Dynasty, the name of Longhua has been retained, which also remembers that many of the elders of the Longhua Dynasty are still looking forward to the revival of the dynasty. Now Xu Bin proposed that since the country is to be re-established, it is better to change the name Longhua. As for the choice of the national system, Xu Bin did not implement the feudal imperial system as some feared, or adopt the same parliamentary system as the West, which is also the so-called presidential responsibility system.
For Xu Bin, who is now in power, he was not carried away by the prosperity in front of him, and made a plan to revive the imperial system. Undoubtedly, many people know that even if Xu Bin is a nationally recognized candidate for president, the emperor is somewhat different from the president. In addition, the selection of the councillors of each province this time is not the responsibility of the governor of each province as in the past, and all of them are elected by the private department.
The representatives of various provinces who are qualified to enter Longcheng to participate in the conference are no longer the gentlemen and landlords who have so-called protégés and old officials all over the world in the past, but more officials, merchants, peasants, and workers' representatives who are deeply loved by the people. This means that the legislators elected in this way represent the interests of the people of the whole country.
Of course, it is impossible for any ruling party to let the following get out of control, so that despite the choice of representatives of the parliamentarians this time. A fair, just and open election method was adopted, but more of the people who were eligible to participate in the first session of the National Assembly were elites with membership in the People's Party.
While they have popular popularity in various provinces, they also have the qualifications to support Xu Bin and the People's Party to govern. In addition to some gentlemen who are very popular in the country, many of the remaining members of parliament are also independents. There is only one thing, these people must also have prestige in the provinces, otherwise they will not be qualified as councillors.
In short, Xu Bin must first ensure one thing in the matter of the founding of the country. That is, the party he created, which must occupy the vast majority of seats in parliament. In addition, in the future, the military and political circles of the new country will also be controlled by the People's Party led by him. At least for now, in Xu Bin's view, he will not allow the opposition to exist.
In a sense, Xu Bin in the future will also be the party and government. Even if there will be a prime minister who will represent the government in the future. But this prime minister, if it weren't for Xu Bin's favor, he wouldn't be able to be the prime minister either. This also means that whether it is the current East China military government or the future leadership of the new country, Xu Bin is a well-deserved dictator.
These things are naturally better than some powerful people who are proficient in the world, but they know what. Now that he is preparing for the founding of the country, Xu Bin, who has controlled the hearts and minds of the people and public opinion, presents himself to the people and complains about his merits. Against this trend. Isn't it unpleasant to find yourself?
Therefore in the provinces in order to elect the representatives of the so-called Supreme Council. The three-way army commanded by Zhou Dingbian. Began the official march to the west. The commanders of many units knew that their battle was the last unification battle to be a gift to the new nation. This also means that they play well, and they can also leave a name in history in the future!
With this mentality, the East China Army itself is fully prepared. In the eyes of many officials of the independent government of Xiyi, when the battle here was not easy to fight, the East China Army fought the same wars as they had fought in the past. More time was spent on hurrying things, and the blocking troops sent by the Xiyi Independent Government were no match for the East China Army at all.
Even if it enters the Western Wing this time, the large artillery tanks and other things of the East China Army cannot be transported smoothly. But the combat equipment of the East China Army's troops also makes those who think they are. The independent government forces supported by the Eagle and France collapsed. Especially since they are more just, forced to join the army, when they see the tragic battlefield where rivers of blood flow, these government soldiers who bully the local serfs are still good, they can't wait to grow two more legs. Escape from this hellish battlefield.
According to the order of Zhou Dingbian, the commander-in-chief of the Xiyi operation, the troops who entered the battle adopted the strategy of suppression as much as possible, captured the Xiyi government army, which was composed of serfs, and explained to them what the significance of the army actually had to them.
At the same time, in the liberated areas, in front of those serfs who had been generations of serfs, they began to burn in public the deeds of sale that they had sold to the landlords' homes for generations, and also transferred some things from the ranch owners' homes that supported the independent government, according to Zhou Dingbian's previous instructions, to those serfs who never dared to imagine that they could also get their freed livestock.
For a time, many herdsmen who had benefited from the East China Army regarded the East China Army as a heavenly army. The troops that have been falling from the sky have always been able to liberate the heavenly army that they have given them happiness. With the support of these vast number of herdsmen, the troops who joined the war gradually felt the benefits of the unity of the army and the people.
The farmers who fled and hid, the executioners who had killed the people, were all aware of this. The herdsmen who were the owners of the Xiyi in the future were reported, and the East China Army troops, who were retained to stabilize the place, put these landlords who drank the blood of serfs on trial one by one and executed them.
Only those ranchers who did not participate in the ** behavior, after accepting the conditions of the liberation troops of the East China Army, burned the deeds of sale of those serfs. In the form of hiring, these serfs who used to work for them and may not even be able to eat enough to feed are grazed for them. The treatment given must also be approved by the East China Army.
It not only allows the ranchers to earn money, but also allows the herdsmen who have regained their freedom to have a relatively desirable job for food and clothing. Of course, the East China Army did not forget to buy some livestock cubs for these herdsmen and give them free of charge. Let them work for the rancher in the future and have their own livestock at the same time.
According to the Zhou Dingbian, the only way to do this is to let these new herdsmen who were born as serfs understand the labor they pay. When they could have gained more, they would cherish the liberated life. If they want to continue to enjoy this life, it means that they must obey the strikes of the East China Army.
As for those ranchers who are still pure-hearted, there will also be special logistics personnel to tell these ranchers. Even if there were no serfs working for them, they would not be unable to live here. These ranchers, because they cooperated with the military operations of the East China Army, will also receive a series of preferential treatment.
After taking the first area of the army, the logistics department of the East China Army summoned some ranchers who were suitable for transformation into the garrison of the troops. Tell them the list of some commercial trade suitable for engaging in Xiyi. After all, according to the future arrangements for Xiyi, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this dangerous road will also be repaired.
In addition, the first military airfield is also under construction, and some East China armies are fighting for this time. Deliberately equipped with some military equipment, after the technology has matured. Some can be open to private individuals, according to Xu Bin's meaning. It can also be opened to these ranchers who cooperate with the rule of the East China Army, so that they can really understand. Compared with the little bloody money they made by defrauding those serfs for generations, they can earn more wealth by following the same path as the East China Army.
Especially when some people living in the Gaohaipao area saw that the kind of thing that was preached by many people as an immortal pot could also be handed over to them for sale. Do these ranchers know that this kind of immortal pot is hard to find for ranchers and herdsmen living in the plateau area, and now the logistics department of the East China Army can provide them with a thousand per month. What a huge profit is that?
In fact, in the eyes of the rancher, the so-called immortal pot is just Xu Bin's consideration of joining the army to fight, and he also needs hot food. However, because in some areas with high seas, ordinary pots are used to make rice, and they are not cooked at all. Now there is this kind of pot called a fairy pot, which is actually a pressure cooker. Not only is the cooking time much reduced, but the cooked food is more magical and delicious than ordinary pots.
Some of them are fortunate enough to see the garrison in person, and use this kind of pot to cook beef and mutton when they are crispy and delicious, for this magical pot. They feel that if they can have one, they will really be able to eat delicious food every day in the future. Therefore, after the logistics department came up with this kind of pressure cooker, which had been produced in the Shuhandao Military Factory, and wholesaled it to these ranchers who were not bad for money at a relatively high price, these ranchers were grateful and expressed their support for the rectification of the East China Army in the Xiyi pastoral area.
As for the logistics department, the so-called such pots are relatively few, so for the time being, they can only wholesale to them a thousand, and it must be a cash transaction. These ranchers don't seem to be short of money, and one by one they immediately asked the servants at home to pull out the gold and silver hidden in the ground, and buy a few more of these immortal pots to make a good profit!
In addition to selling this pressure cooker, the processing of livestock fur that has been fully matured in Longhua also makes many ranchers who own cattle and sheep also very good. Only then did they know that the things they didn't value much in the past were made into high-end wool blankets and some leather goods. When you get it to sell it outside, it can be sold at such a high price.
At this time, they knew why those foreign devil merchants would buy a large number of livestock skins that they didn't care about many times. On the contrary, I don't like it very much, and in the eyes of ranchers, the most valuable livestock meat. Dare to love those foreign devils, they also know this kind of thing, and make these high-end wool blankets and leather products, and the profits are simply huge profits.
In the past, even if they knew, they had no money or equipment, so they could only watch as all these animals that brought them wealth fell into the pockets of foreign devils. Now in the hands of the East China Army, it has become the military government that can provide them with the equipment to produce these fine leather products.
They only need to pay a certain amount of money to buy shares or use installment payments, and get this kind of factory that can be described as a huge profit for them. Radically change the previous way of exploiting serfs to accumulate wealth, and earn this kind of wealth that in their opinion, is cleaner. Why wouldn't they do it?
