Chapter 490 The second decree! Land reform!
In fact, the problem with this braid was not changed by these ministers because the New Tang Dynasty came and the Qing Dynasty was no longer able to do it. They actually started wearing fake braids a long time ago. ⊙,
Because of this thing, it was originally a dumb thing for men to keep braids, but they had to be forced by you, the Qing Dynasty.
But this is actually just like stocks. Stocks are an expectation of the market economy. Stocks in a place often reflect the leading economic problems of the place, which is their ideas for the future. So, these ministers have not left any braids. Isn’t that just that they have long lost confidence in the Qing Dynasty.
But some people...
"My dear, are you braided?" Tongzhi immediately remembered his beloved dear, that's Bai He.
"Master, my braid is real." Bai He answered truthfully, and took the braid over and turned it around twice.
"Oh! I'm better, my dear!" Tongzhi was so moved that he felt that only Bai He was really good to him and a loyal minister, but...
"Master, when I came here, I also wore fake braids for several months." Well, Bai He is telling the truth, but the truth is very hurtful.
"..." Tongzhi's heart!
"Hahaha... Okay, this is the decree." Li Mengyang was very casual at this time. Anyway, he looked like he was the emperor. I was the final word.
To talk about this federal empire, it really seems that the federal government is just a cover, right?
Then next...
"The Qing Dynasty is currently…" Li Mengyang turned the Qing Dynasty into the Qing Dynasty very lightly. It's not bad, it's a bit less, it's more saliva-free. "This is not very stable. Although the capital is under the control of my New Tang Dynasty, in the south and in other areas, as far as I know, there are many resistance movements. We want to calm down these unrest now. Tell them not to fight again..."
What does Li Mengyang mean when he said?
It’s actually very simple, that is, what we need now is to use troops!
Since we are using military force, should you be suffering from some blood in the Qing Dynasty? We are here to help you quell the rebellion!
If you want to say that Li Mengyang is really powerful, he originally wanted to take this Qing Dynasty, but what he said was all about helping.
Oh yes, we are here to help you.
So, will the people present not understand this?
"Long live my emperor!"
"The Lord is kind!"
Flattery is coming again, so real work...
"I wonder how much treasury there is in the Qing Dynasty?"
Li Mengyang's question began to be direct. Come up and check the family's information first.
"this……"
The civil and military officials in the court were so big that no one could speak.
In fact, why didn’t Li Mengyang understand? At this time, there was no share in the Qing Dynasty’s treasury. I guess I still owed a lot of money from outside and various external compensation.
Then this matter...
"Tell me, are you rich or not?" Li Mengyang's words simply didn't match his clothes!
Yes, today is very grand. Li Mengyang is wearing that white battle robe, but what he does now is very stinking.
You are also very good at this. Not only did you ask Tongzhi, but also the ministers, but the ministers are not stupid, they only hear them say.
"Emperor Tongzhi should have the treasury!"
"By the way! There must be some."
"Boy Tongzhi! Hand over your own treasury!"
The treasury is the emperor's private money. Now that everyone is focusing on private money, that means that the Qing Dynasty's economy has collapsed and the national treasury is empty!
"You bastards! Don't be too angry!" Tongzhi understood no matter how stupid he was. These guys were going to kill him with a knife!
So, can’t Li Mengyang understand?
"Since that's the case, what else do you think can do?"
Li Mengyang didn't even throw these emperors and ministers. He walked back and was the emperor's throne in the Taihe Hall, the particularly beautiful one. Li Mengyang passed by and sat down carelessly!
To say that this action is very simple and seems a bit rude, but the meaning is very clear. What I have to say about this country now!
"..." Tongzhi saw it in his heart, so he had to grit his teeth and swallow it.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Your Majesty is really respectful to you!"
"The Lord has everything in mind, and I can't meet the world!"
Another big circle of flattery.
But Li Mengyang laughed.
"Hehehehe..." For some reason, he smiled gloomy, and then heard him say, "Since that's the case, then let's have a reform that must be carried out."
Reforms that must be carried out? So what kind of reform is this?
Many people think they understand that it is constitutional monarchy reform!
"The saint is the wise! Our Qing Dynasty is in need of a constitutional monarchy reform!"
"That's it! The constitutional monarchy reform before was too failed! Now it's just right!"
"Master! The Qing Dynasty has already been open. Master should carry out reforms immediately!"
In the end, the one who has the highest voice is no one else, but Weng Tonghe!
This old boy is very interesting. He hates the quarrels of constitutional monarchy reform the most, and he wishes he will reform immediately.
But it's...
"Who said I wanted to change this thing?" Li Mengyang lowered his head and flicked his pants with his hand. It was white and it was easy to get dirty.
"..." At this time, the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony stopped talking.
Because they really couldn't understand what the new emperor in front of them was thinking!
Li Mengyang smiled and said, "The reform you mentioned is not important at all now. The biggest thing now is the second decree!"
"..." Everyone listened attentively. What is this second decree?
"It's right away, it's necessary, and it's definitely successful. Our Chinese Pacific Rim Federation will carry out a land reform!"
"What?!" All the civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded!
Land reform?!
This reform... In fact, all the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty understood this time. Do they have anything to do?
Simply put, it is what Emperor Li Mengyang had to do before doing, that is, to conquer the Chinese nation. Then the first thing was to divide the land with the common people and those heroes!
Yes, that's it. As far as the history of China is concerned, every dynasty change is actually accompanied by a major adjustment of land rights.
Or, this thing is the reason, because when the land transaction is at its peak, the entire market will naturally become red and purple. However, our Chinese dynasties, especially the feudal dynasties, basically died on the land because the previous land annexation was too serious, and it was actually a legal transaction. This legality is naturally the law of the emperor.
But now, why did Li Mengyang change the land as soon as he came up?
In fact, it is too simple, because it must be changed now. In the current Qing Dynasty, you will die on the land!
To put it another way, it is because of excessive land annexation that the Qing Dynasty fell into crisis. Therefore, the entire Qing Dynasty was filled with a proletarian trend of thought!
This is strange because this is not Marx's theory, but if you really want to go to the rural areas of the Qing Dynasty, you will definitely be surprised because the landlords are old and rich. They are producing proletarians!
There are a large number of landless farmers, and this is actually very interesting, because the rich people have exploited the farmers. Isn’t this equivalent to helping the proletariat grow its strength?
There are more and more proletarians.
And now, although the emperor has not replaced him, Li Mengyang has more control. In fact, he ruled, so does he want to stand opposite to the proletariat?
Obviously, Li Mengyang is not stupid. He knows that he must rely on the proletariat, because the proletariat is now the majority. He does not rely on the majority. Should he rely on the officials in front of him?
Just the officials from the Qing Dynasty, hehe, don’t others know him, Li Mengyang doesn’t know?
Just this Weng Tonghe, Li Mengyang still doesn’t know what his face looks like?
So, no matter what you are, I must implement land reform!
In fact, the necessity of land reform has been mentioned, and the importance is self-evident. Just because Chiang Kai-shek went to Baodao, it was because he didn't dare to carry out land reform.
And now, anyway, this land, which is the Qing Dynasty, was incorporated into the Pacific Rim Federation, but this land is a bit real, and it was not originally owned by Li Mengyang!
Then just mess around!
The key is, it’s not OK to do anything without trouble.
In addition, theoretically speaking, what is the essence of land reform?
This is actually taxation!
Many people certainly don’t understand, what is called taxation?
Because the essence of this matter is taxation, and most people don’t understand this taxation because it is property taxation!
From an economic perspective, property tax should be imposed, because the so-called property tax means using the money in hand to make money. To put it bluntly, these individuals do not engage in productive labor.
Just imagine, if there are too many people in a society who do not engage in productive labor, can this society still be better?
The other key is that when a country cannot receive property taxes, they will collect other taxes!
In Marx's political economy, it is to impose labor taxes, which brings an extremely serious consequence, that is, another exploitation of workers!
Extracting the surplus value of workers is already an exploitation, and this exploitation is done by capitalists. So, when the state cannot collect capital taxes, but in fact, the wealth of the entire society is increasing, but to maintain the increase of wealth, and the relevant society points out that they have to increase their income from labor taxes. So are the workers exploited again?
But isn’t land reform going to divide the land?
So, how can it be called taxation?
It is taxation, and the reason is very simple, because these land owners are the owners of assets. They have never paid taxes before, and have been evading taxes and have been evading their responsibilities to this society. So, what they are levied now is to come together!
Local tyrants and evil gentry, you have to vomit out any amount of food you ate before! (To be continued.)
