Chapter 39: The Fruits of Victory

"Hey, don't be so distressed, isn't this all at once?" Zhang Ang comforted softly: "Although we have many members now, most of them have not entered the actual combat drill, and without this life-and-death battle, how can this martial arts road go far? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I'm not worrying about the loss!" Adolf denied, "I'm just wondering if the path we're taking now is the right one!"

"What's wrong with this?" Zhang Ang looked puzzled, and then said categorically: "Only by eliminating those corrupt Junker aristocrats as much as possible can we carry out the reform! Now that these Qinwang troops in Potsdam dare to come to support Berlin, it means that they are the most diehard group! They should be eliminated!"

"But...... But there are many more nobles who have not sent troops!, and they are still waiting!" said Adolf solemnly.

"Yes, they are waiting, but this has no effect on our plans!" Zhang Ang replied in detail: "There are two kinds of those who wait and see, one is those who want to support, but they see that we are too strong and dare not send people to support! The other is some short-sighted stupid people who only know how to keep their own one-third of an acre of land, and only know greed and have no brains, thinking that even if they change the dynasty, they can keep their wealth and status. But even if they don't do it now, they will still be something we must eliminate! ”

"So, what about those who support us, and do you want to kill them all?" Adolf looked a little unpleasant.

"Of course not, since they have helped us and contributed to our cause, of course they are our comrades and a family. Zhang Ang then explained: "However, we can compensate them, but this nobleman, they don't have to think about it anymore!"

"You mean, to wipe out all the nobles?" Adolf frowned.

"Yes!" Zhang Ang replied calmly: "There are no nobles in this country that we are about to establish! You also know that the fundamental reason why our Germany is decadent and backward and gradually decaying is that it is an outdated, feudal and backward aristocracy! The class is completely solidified, the commoners have no ascending rank, and the nobles only know how to compete for power and power, and they are greedy and excessive, how can this country be good?"

"But...... But you don't have to be so extreme. Adolf said with a questioning tone: "I admit that the current Junker aristocracy has many shortcomings and must be reformed, but we can learn from France, England, their strengths, and establish a new system of aristocracy!

"No, no, no! Your thinking is still too limited!" Zhang Ang shook his head and said: "Do you think that the aristocracy in France or England will be all right? Reform to their likeness, will our Germany become stronger? No, no, it is not! The aristocracy is not something that can be reformed by a small reform! It is itself a wrong system! A backward system! A system that should be eliminated by history!"

"What do you mean?" Adolf frowned.

Zhang Ang then explained: "The most essential thing in the aristocratic system is to canonize titles and distribute fiefs! Whether it is knighthood for military merits or strength, as long as the title is awarded, it must be given corresponding status and land! The status is better to say, the key is land! In any case, our land in Germany is limited! Even if it is the founding of the country, if it is distributed from generation to generation, there will be a time when the distribution will be exhausted, and in addition to the land annexation of the commoners by the nobles for many years, and the marriage and merger of the big and small nobles, in the end, the land will be concentrated in the hands of the nobles! And the commoners will have no place to stand! They can only become hired peasants and even serfs of the nobles! In this way, the kingdom will once again become a pool of stagnant water! Decadent and degenerate, lifeless!"

"And what are you going to do?" Adolf's eyes burned.

"It's simple. Zhang Ang shouted: "The whole world is not the king's land! All land belongs to the state, and no one is allowed to trade or buy in any form! And set reasonable taxes to ensure that everyone can support themselves, and even the self-motivated people have the spare energy to pursue a better life!"

"What do you mean?" Adolf asked, interrupting Zhang Ang's words.

"To put it simply, it's food! Land is the most important means of production! If you want to live, you have to eat. And if you want to practice martial arts, you have to eat more food and get more nutrients!" Zhang Ang explained: "And what we have to do in the future is to let everyone get enough food to fill their stomachs, and even have a certain amount of surplus food to support their own martial arts needs!"

"I kind of understand what you mean, but it's easier said than done...... Adolf touched his chin.

"We can solve these problems slowly in the future!" Zhang Ang waved his hand: "For example, set up an agricultural bureau to study agricultural technology, disseminate and teach everyone to farm, so as to increase grain production." Another example is the establishment of agricultural grain stations, which do not allow everyone to buy and sell grain privately, and all agricultural grain stations will purchase and sell at a low price, so as to prevent people from hoarding goods...... In short, if there is a problem, we will find a way to solve it, and it can be done in the end!"

"I kind of see what you mean. Adolf nodded: "This will ensure fairness and make the country more stable." After all, they weren't all bad people, and it would be a bit too much to kill them all. ”

"Of course, not all of them were killed. Zhang Ang laughed: "If they are willing to hand over their land, wealth, and martial arts, they can still be spared." ”

"How could they be willing to?" Adolf said, "You're too strong." ”

"If you don't pay it, you'll die!" Zhang Ang sank his face: "The reason why the nobles are nobles, in addition to the fact that they control the land and wealth, is more because they have martial arts and private soldiers composed of warriors! They can easily suppress the resistance of the commoners, and naturally they can easily pass it on from generation to generation." And what we have to do is to break their authority and let them, like everyone else, return to square one!"

After being silent for a while, he continued: "If you have wealth, you can barely keep some of it, but the land and martial arts must be handed over!"

"I can understand the land, what is the reason for martial arts? We can also teach civilians martial arts, and we don't necessarily have to rob them of martial arts. Adolf was puzzled.

"There are strong and weak martial arts, our martial arts are like this, and so are the nobles, but we can't just teach high-level martial arts to everyone. We must establish a perfect system!" Zhang Ang explained: "If we want to truly make Germany strong, the most important thing is that everyone has martial arts! Everyone can become strong! If all of us in Germany are martial artists, how can our country not be strong? Therefore, we must have a rigorous and perfect system for teaching martial arts! For example, we must establish schools! Primary schools, middle schools, and universities, the higher we go, the stronger the martial arts we learn! Of course, we can discuss the specific details. ”

"That's .......," Adolf pondered.

Looking at his contemplative appearance, Zhang Ang patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, now that these Qinwang armies have been wiped out, I don't think anyone will organize the second batch again." We've been around for so long, everyone is getting tired of waiting, it's time to enter Berlin and enjoy the fruits of victory!"
