Struggle in Russia

v2 Chapter 615 - Li Xiao's reform strategy (middle)

Li Xiao knows how to do it, of course, but he can’t tell Alexei directly, because he knows that the other party definitely has ideas on this issue, and Alexei’s ideas are definitely not completely consistent with him. Although he had been vaccinated just now, Alexei had a certain degree of psychological preparation, but he said that this kid definitely couldn’t accept it.

So, it’s best to listen to Alexei’s thoughts first, and then slowly bargain, let this kid accept his thoughts.

“Why don’t you have any ideas? Don’t be humble, talk about your ideas first, and then we will compare them, so we can learn from each other!”

Alexei felt comfortable listening to these words. Sometimes he felt that dealing with Li Xiao was particularly enjoyable. It was not like when dealing with certain people, he would not give himself every bit of face, and everything would be straightforward. He was very embarrassed.

There is no such problem when dealing with Li Xiao. The other party can always properly grasp the size without embarrassing him, but can express his own opinions cleverly. This level is really too high!

Sometimes Alexei wanted to learn from Li Xiao the ability to receive people and things, and he also wanted to be so comfortable. However, if Alexei’s thoughts were to let Li Xiao know, he would probably be dumbfounded, because he really didn’t think his EQ and reception level was high. The reason why Alexei felt comfortable was probably because of the Chinese. The habit of getting along with friends in China is not as straightforward as in Europe, so you have to learn to save face for each other.

So, even if people like Li Xiao are not particularly high in EQ, they appear to be a bit high in Europe.

Alexei thought for a while and replied: “If the reform of serfdom is to be carried out according to my vision, the personal freedom of serfs must be liberated and let them obtain land where they can live!”

For Li Xiao, this is simply nonsense, isn’t it just two of these to liberate serfs! What he wanted to ask was how Alexei fulfilled these two items. Not to mention the personal freedom granted to serfs, but the land issue. Where did these land come from?

Sure enough, Li Xiao expected that Alexei’s first plan was very characteristic of the times and was taken for granted. He confidently replied: “For the land issue, I think the fairest and reasonable plan is the redemption policy. After paying a certain redemption fee, you will automatically get personal freedom and a certain amount of land, and then…”

Alexei finished talking, but Li Xiao hesitated in his heart: “Is it here?”

Indeed, Alexei’s approach is not much different from the serfdom reforms made by Alexander II in history. They tried their best to compromise with the conservative class. In fact, they did not completely solve the serf problem.

So after Alexei finished speaking, Li Xiao naturally asked a few questions: “You said you want to redeem, then I have to ask, what is the cost of redemption? How do the serfs pay for this fee?”

Alexei scratched his head and replied: “The specific redemption fee still needs to be investigated and discussed. As for how to pay the fee? Is this a big problem?”

Li Xiao was a little bit dumbfounded: “Of course it’s a big problem. Do you think those poor serfs have savings or savings! My friend, I must tell you that most of them are insecure, and even eat their stomachs? It’s a problem. I can’t afford to redeem land and freedom at all!”

Alexei was stunned, scratching his head again, and said, “That means they have no money? Can we give loans in the name of the state? The state will give them loans to help them pay for this cost. Of course, the interest rate. It can be considered a little lower… In this way, the country will have an extra income as well as the problem is solved. Isn’t that pretty good!”

Li Xiao was utterly weak. He only said one sentence: “You ask the country to help the serfs pay in advance, and then let them repay the mortgage… OK, I ask you, do you know how much the money is? Do you think Can Wallachia’s treasury get so much money in one go?”

Alexei was stunned again. He quietly settled the accounts in his heart. There are millions of serfs in Wallachia. The cost of buying each serf’s ear is not too much. Take one thousand rubles as an example. 1 billion rubles.

One billion rubles is about 100 million pounds, not to mention 100 million pounds, even 10 million pounds. Wallachia’s treasury cannot have it, and even the Russian treasury does not have it, because this number is too exaggerated! Let alone Russia, the UK’s fiscal revenue is only a year, so that the British can’t fill this hole, OK?

Alexei scratched the back of his head and said, “One thousand rubles per serf is too high. It should…should be about 100 rubles…”

When it comes to this, he is silent again, because even if it only costs 100 rubles, it is 100 million rubles, and it is still not available!

He was immediately discouraged: “Obviously, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will not work for the country to grant loans, so let the serfs owe the money first, and then pay the serf owners in installments over ten years. This should be no problem. Right?”

When he said this, Alexei had no confidence, because it was hard to say whether the serf owner was willing to do it. Anyway, based on his knowledge of the miser, he would definitely not do it.

What’s more, Li Xiao still has something to hit him behind! He smiled and asked, “Even if the serf owner is willing to do it, then I ask you, can you guarantee that the serf will do it?”

Alexei was stunned, and asked puzzledly: “Why don’t they?”

“It’s very simple. Take the 100 rubles redemption fee you mentioned as an example! Even if a family of three, it is 300 rubles, and the payment is divided into ten years, and the annual payment is at least 30 rubles. Do you think an ordinary farmer can make a year? 30 rubles?”

“Probably…”

Alexei’s answer was not as good as he heard it. Li Xiao directly shattered his illusion: “It’s impossible. The 300 rubles redemption fee includes the redemption of personal freedom and the redemption of land, which can be bought. What a big piece of land? It’s a bit difficult to feed a family with such a little land, let alone a surplus!”

As soon as Alexei was about to speak, Li Xiao stopped him: “If the serf cannot afford the annual redemption fee, what should we do? Should he re-confiscate his land and personal freedom? Or send him to prison for hard labor? “

Alexei was really stunned, because he had never thought about so many details. In his original understanding, liberating serfs is a one-shot deal. As long as all problems and troubles are resolved as long as they are liberated, but now listen to Li Xiao said that he found that the problems and troubles seemed to have just begun…
