The change in the attitude of the people of Siali to the price limit movement has caused many parliamentarians to be extremely dissatisfied, and they have declared that the mandatory price limit is contrary to the principle of free trade, and the National Assembly is moving in the direction of dictatorship.

It was only under the leadership of Xi Erlie and others, relying on their prestige and connections, that they were finally able to forcibly pass the price limit law, which was officially promulgated on April 15, and it was also the first price limit bill since the reform movement.

The bill stipulates that the prices of food and daily necessities in each major city shall be forcibly maintained at the average market price of 2923, and that the National Assembly shall compensate the merchants for the losses suffered by the trade associations as a result of the price limit law.

It can be seen from this that although this bill is said to be a price limit bill, it has a great compromise, for example, what exactly is this average market price, how to average which is average, and all of them are very general, which leaves considerable room for maneuver in various localities.

However, even such a price limit bill was resisted by many members of the National Assembly, and some newspapers in various places also seriously criticized Xi Erlie for the first time, so this level of price limit bill is already the best bill that can be barely passed under Xi Erlie's hard work.

In the bill, the "loss" incurred by the merchant group due to the price limit bill is compensated, which shows that Xi Erlie has put a lot of effort into the bill.

The so-called "bonds" are the products of the de-altarization a few years ago, after the National Assembly forcibly expropriated the "surplus" land of the altar, and then sold the bonds as collateral to cope with the economic crisis, and then the compulsory expropriation of aristocratic land was also included, so as to better maintain the price of the bonds.

With the development of the situation, the National Assembly's use of index bonds has become more and more frequent, resulting in the fact that the actual value of index bonds has only been left at 80% of the face value, so in some speculative markets, the face value of index bonds is often used as one of the speculative products.

Although the value of the bonds had begun to depreciate due to the indiscriminate issuance, the National Assembly still had no choice but to sell more and more money, whether it was the deteriorating economy, or the expenditure of various expenses, training the new army, rebuilding the navy, and compensating the trade associations for the losses caused by the price limit bill.

For Xi Ailie's behavior, the merchant group is strongly supportive, you must know that the collateral of the coupon is the real land, the merchant group does not refer to the coupon itself, but to the land behind the coupon, which is an important lever to maintain the face value and credit value of the coupon from collapsing.

It is not enough to simply use land to maintain the depreciation of the currency due to the continuous indiscriminate issuance, and the Standing Committee headed by Siali needs to come up with some other ways to do so.

Yes, in the early days, the coins were printed with the portrait of Celiti III to indicate that the tokens were the legal currency blessed by Celiti III, but now that Celiti III has been executed for treason, how can the tokens with his portrait still be used?

Therefore, shortly after the promulgation of the "Grain Price Limit Act", the Standing Committee passed the "Order on the Collection of Notes" in the National Assembly, and since Seliti III had become a shameful rebel, the large amount of money with his face would be invalid and should be returned to the National Assembly.

In fact, this order has little impact on the people, because all the money circulating at the bottom is small-amount coupons, and only the middle class and above will use large-amount coupons in their work and life.

As a very clear-minded person, Xi Ai Li knows that the scope of policy attack should not be too large, and the scope of recovery of index coupons does not include small amount of index coupons, which ensures that the interests of the bottom will not be excessively harmed.

As a result, the bottom was not affected, and the top merchant groups were separated long before the advent of the recycling order, and finally this "Coupon Recycling Order" evolved into a decree by the National Assembly and the top merchant groups to jointly slaughter the middle class, and many middle classes were hit half by the storm.

This also made the attitude of some newspapers that had been inclined towards reform even worse against the National Assembly, in which they declared that the "Decree on the Collection of Notes" was undoubtedly irrefutable evidence of the authoritarian tendencies of the National Assembly.

Fortunately, the merchants were profiting from it, and they knew very well that if the "intervention army" came in, Kiberon and the others would only hang all the merchants on the street lamps, and then they might only be able to swim in the River Styx while continuing to raise their voices and demand free trade.

In addition to the Order on the Collection of Bonds, the second decree issued by the Standing Committee, called the Fugitive Offenders Act, was still aimed at maintaining the value of the bonds, this time targeting the land of the nobility.

A few years ago, during the anti-feudal decree, some nobles were indeed deprived of land, but only excess land, not all land, so the remaining land of the nobles added up is still a considerable figure, and it is these lands that the Standing Committee is eyeing this time.

According to the Fugitive Offenders Act, if the fugitive nobles did not surrender by 1 May, their estates were to be legally and forcibly expropriated by the National Assembly and freely distributed to compensate for the damage they had caused to Siber as a result of his treason.

Aristocracy with a slight IQ knew that surrendering was a joke, so by May 1, the National Assembly was not surprising that it could legally expropriate a large amount of land, and anyway, since the "December Uprising" and the "January Riots", the two sides have been like fire and water, and this hatred is not bad.

Obviously, it is impossible for all of these lands to be used to maintain the price of the bills, otherwise the bill would have been rejected in the National Assembly long ago on the grounds that the target was too broad and too radical.

Why was the Fugitive Offenders Act passed? Because there are other theories about the use of land after it has been expropriated, and maintaining the price of the voucher is naturally one of them, but it is crucial that part of the land is put up for auction, and the proceeds from the auction are used to fill the treasury.

These lands are another wave of eye-catching income, and it is obvious that the people who can participate in the auction are not the vast majority of the civilians, but the major merchant groups with rich financial resources.

As for the councillors, although they did not have the financial resources to participate in the auction of land, various merchant groups were quite familiar with each other and donated a lot of land to the councillors, which made the councillors even more wealthy in this turmoil.

In fact, Xi Erlie put forward this bill, not all for profit, but also for a layer of meaning, that is, in this way, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the merchant group and the nobles, unless the merchant group is willing to spit out all of what they swallowed, otherwise they will wait to be hung by the street lamp.

In this way, Siari does not have to worry about the possibility of betrayal of the merchant group, maybe a few merchant groups will betray, but as a whole, the merchant group has been completely tied to the chariot of the National Assembly, and it has been moving forward with this chariot.

Of course, the merchants knew what they were doing, but the land was real money, and who said the National Assembly would fail?

The last method of Siali was a more covert method, which was done quietly and without being announced to the public, that is, to pay the soldiers with coupons, so that the future of these soldiers would be the same as that of the merchant group, tied to the chariot of the National Assembly, and they could only follow this chariot to the unknown front.

The "Grain Price Limit Act", the "Decree on the Recall of Bonds", and the "Fugitive Offenders Act", although the Standing Committee did not immediately bring prices back to normal levels, at least began to slowly stop or even decline slightly, thus weakening the popular resistance and allowing the National Assembly to recruit troops smoothly.

However, after all this busy work, it was already in June, and the scheduled army was in place one after another, a total of 40 regiments with a total of 120,000 troops.

120,000 men were drafted, and the National Assembly was only willing to call up 120,000 men, not only 120,000, mainly because of the attrition of the legions in the subsequent battles and the need for reinforcements, as well as the fact that Sib's weapons production had dropped significantly due to the chaos of the past few years.

This is the essence of Siber, you must know that the mobilized legions at this time are only from Moya and Nolanza provinces, Sib Province and Southern Sib Province have not been mobilized, if they join the war, they can bring more troops to the National Assembly - provided that the National Assembly can still recruit troops.

On the other hand, Kiberon only recruited 20 legions, and he was almost about to collapse Phoebebo's finances, and many farmers were already overwhelmed and fled to the land.

The same is to recruit the population of the two provinces, but the situation is so different, this is the difference in strength between the industrial countries and the old countries, although Sibo because the main force is the citizen army, so that the quality of individual soldiers will be a little weaker, but this is already the era of the flint gun, the gap is not very large.

After hearing about Siber's mobilization, the nobles of all countries also knew that this meant that the possibility of compromise would no longer exist at all, and the civil war would only become more and more violent, because after such mobilization, even if the National Assembly won the civil war, it would be bankrupt because of financial problems, and it should be known that this was a civil war, not a foreign war! No matter who won or lost, the land would be devastated.

Of course, this is the result of assuming that the old nobles lose in this deadly game, and on the other hand, if the old nobles win, they will inevitably make up for the losses they suffered in the civil war by taking the merchant group behind the National Assembly, so this civil war will completely become a bloody battlefield after 3 years.

The reason why the National Assembly mobilized 40 legions in one go was mainly due to two reasons: first, most of these soldiers were from the provinces of Moya and Nolanza, and the men of these two provinces were withdrawn, and when the enemy attacked here, they could not recruit many troops, and the National Assembly could also recruit troops from the further rear provinces of Sibe and Southern Sib.

The second is the naval factor, the newly recruited navy is still in training, and the new warships have not even been launched, so they can only make do with the remaining framework.

Experienced officers said that judging from the current situation, the Sibbo navy can barely have a framework after three months of training, and then it will take another year of running-in before it can go to sea to fight, and another two years of engagement before it can be called a navy, and the resources invested during this period cannot be interrupted, and this is the price of training the navy.

Therefore, under the circumstance that it takes so long for the navy to recover its combat effectiveness, the previous Xibo navy can only maintain the coastline at most, and cannot support the army like the previous Lu Pudong punishment of Phoebe Bo.
