Struggle in Russia

Alexei felt that there was no such reason, and he never wanted to allocate the remaining land to anyone else. But Li Xiao immediately told him that the remaining land must be scored. If the score is less, it won’t work. At least the top 10 land properties must be allocated!

“Why!” Alexei didn’t understand.

Li Xiao explained patiently: “These top ten fields are prepared for the opposition and power officials in the country. If you don’t feed them enough, you still want to carry out reforms in Wallachia?”

Alexei stopped speaking immediately, and I have to say that he has one advantage, that is, he is not as hard-hearted as Leonid. If Leonid took the lead in this matter, then Li Xiao said it would be useless, and that Xiongtai would never compromise.

But Alexei is different. Although he also strongly supports reforms, he also understands how cruel reality is, and knows that if he doesn’t bow his head to certain reality, it will be difficult to move forward. And talents like him who have the bottom line and persistence but know how to compromise and concession are suitable to carry out reforms. If they are replaced like Leonid, they immediately fail.

After thinking about it for a long time, Alexei sighed: “Hey, just do what you said! It really can’t do anything without feeding those evil wolves!”

But at the same time he also emphasized again: “Only 10 is my bottom line, absolutely can’t be more!”

Naturally, Li Xiao agreed that the 10 land property is not too small, because he is not going to buy all the opposition in Russia, because then, let alone 10 or 100 land, it is hard to fill.

Li Xiao’s 10 is only used to win over and buy the most important people, those who have power, such as Nesher Rody, Menshkov, Ordov, Peter Volkonsky, Adler Big guys like Berg. As long as they are dealt with, the other small shrimps are not worth mentioning at all.

And these people are about 10 is enough, and there are even a lot of taps in it. For example, Li Xiao’s previous farmland under the banner of the French can be put in and washed for nothing, and even help the Yang Constantine brothers. Keep a certain amount of land.

Anyway, the article here is very easy to do. After this wave of awkward operations, I believe that the economic situation of Li Xiao and his friends will be greatly improved, at least they will not feel that they are short of money to support their families.

Of course, the matter is not over, because as Alexei said, the 40 lands is indeed a bit inadequate, and we can’t just liberate the serfs on these 40 lands. What about the remaining 60 serfs?

Li Xiao’s answer is easy!

“We must not only liberate a part of serfs. Our policy is to restore all serfs to their free bodies. All serfs will be free again and will no longer be subject to any restrictions. But only the best performing serfs can get land right away! Serfs and their families who have participated in and served the rebels will not be able to obtain land!”

Alexei was dumbfounded, because he didn’t expect Li Xiao to come such a hand, because it was too bad. To put it bluntly, most of the serfs in Wallachia supported the former Provisional Government. Today, more than half of the people who help fight against the Russian army in Bucharest are the serfs mobilized by Kuza. The reason is that Kuza promised that they will be able to recover their freedom and obtain land after victory .

In other parts of Wallachia, there were also many anti-serfs who followed the serf owners to create Russian anti-serfs. If these people were eliminated directly, the most conservative estimate would have to eliminate one third of the serfs. In this case, 40 land is barely enough.

But Alexei also had concerns: “What about the serfs who don’t share the land? They will definitely not be happy! And after their freedom is restored, what will they live on!”

Indeed, this is also a big problem. Because after the serfs regained their freedom, it was obvious that their original masters could not continue to let them work for themselves. If they didn’t work, they would have no food to eat. They could not drink the northwest wind if they had no skill or land!

Li Xiao smiled and said: “They will be converted from serfs to peasants. You must introduce a national minimum wage for peasants to ensure that they can get a income that can support their families. After all, there are no serfs, the church and the land of the serf owners. It can’t just be left uncultivated, and it is necessary to hire people to farm. It is enough to introduce a minimum wage for hired farmers to ensure that they do not starve to death!”

Is this method good? It should be said so. But there is no other way. The limited land can only deal with it like this. After all, these years can’t do a lot of work, and convert excess labor directly into workers, so the idea of ​​land is still needed.

In a sense, Li Xiao’s method is to turn the unsecured serfs into slightly secured farmhands and give them a bite of food ~www.wuxiax.com~ so that they will not starve to death.

Alexei worried: “Can this church and the remaining stubbornness agree?”

Li Xiao smiled and said: “If you tell them well, explain and persuade patiently…then they will definitely not agree!”

Alexey almost squirted out, is someone too skinny? Wouldn’t it be a threat to their cooperation?

Li Xiao touched his chin, and replied solemnly: “The threat is not impossible, but the effect is not particularly good… This matter requires some strategy… You have to do this!”

He cleared his throat and said, “First of all, we can’t mention the reform of the land and the serf system! After you become the governor, the minimum wage standard for farm hires will be introduced first!”

“Do this first?” Alexei was puzzled and asked, “Why?”

“Because it’s easier for you to do this first. Think about it, if you don’t liberate the serfs, how many so-called peasants can there be in Wallachia? The introduction of such a standard will affect those old stubborns who don’t know our ultimate goal. Not too big, you are a new official again, they dare not and will not strongly object!”

After a while, Li Xiao smiled secretly: “But they absolutely can’t think of it. This is just the beginning. We are working for the welfare of the large number of farmhands after the liberation of the serfs. But at that time, they would be too late to react!”

Alexei also reacted. According to Li Xiao’s method, the group of landlords, old and conservative diehards would definitely be fooled. As soon as he thought of their expressions on the day when the serfs were liberated, Alexey felt Coke.

He laughed and said: “I can’t wait to see their expressions on the day they see the decree on the emancipation of serfs. I must be very happy! Haha!”
