Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Serfdom in the Tsarist Empire was already deeply rooted. For hundreds of years, the life of serfs was very difficult.

Mikhail also knew that it would be troublesome to solve this problem.

Therefore, he is ready to cut through the mess quickly, learn from another rabbit in time and space, and directly distribute the land of the whole country to farmers. Moreover, land cannot be transferred privately.

In this way, the vast number of peasants will have their own land, and their livelihood will naturally be guaranteed.

And Mikhail will naturally have the support of the vast number of farmers. Even if anyone tried to overthrow his rule, these peasants would never agree.

Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the Tsarist Empire, Mikhail would not rudely and directly confiscate the landlord’s land, but would buy it at the expense of the imperial government and then distribute it to the peasants.

In this way, the resistance will be less.

Of course, to buy all the land in the country, it will undoubtedly require a lot of money. Even if all the assets of the royal family are lost, I am afraid that it will not be enough. Therefore, Mikhail planned to buy at half the market price. And, pay in installments. Ten percent per annum, paid within ten years. This way, the pressure will be much less.

After the peasants are allocated the land, they only need to pay a small amount of grain as taxes, which is enough. The rest of the food can be arranged by yourself.

Mikhail believes that if this plan is implemented, the lives of the vast number of farmers will be greatly improved.

Although, this would have burdened the finances of the Russian Empire. Even the imperial royal family will spend a lot of money.

But as long as it succeeds, it’s all worth it.

Mikhail did not want the Russian Empire to collapse step by step. In that case, what is the use of leaving even more wealth?

In addition, the traffic situation in the Russian Empire was also something that Mikhail urgently needed to change.

With the exception of a few main railway lines, traffic in the Russian Empire was very bad.

Although the Trans-Siberian Railway has been under construction for five years, it is still being built from the east and west to the middle.

However, because the railway is too long. The terrain of the area passed through is complex, and the frozen soil is everywhere, and it is very difficult to build.

If the scheduled construction period is followed, it will take more than ten years to be able to penetrate the entire line. If you add other ancillary works, it will take longer.

In another time and space, didn’t the Orientals see that the Trans-Siberian Railway was about to be completed, so they rushed to war against the Russian Empire before the railway was opened?

This time, Mikhail naturally hoped to speed up the construction of the railway and complete it as soon as possible.

And, because of the limited railway capacity, it would be better to build a double-track railway if you can. In this way, it was not only possible to strengthen the control of the Russian Empire over the Far East. At the same time, during the war, more troops and materiel could be delivered to the Far East.

The Oriental people want to defeat the Tsarist Empire and then step on the head of the Tsarist Empire to rise as a great power, which is simply delusional.

Of course, to thwart the ambitions of the Toyos, it is not only necessary to improve transportation. More importantly, it is necessary to further enhance military strength.

In addition to transportation, industry is naturally the focus of the Russian Empire.

In the current Russian Empire, industry was not developed. Even the military industry is not so strong. Not only in terms of performance, but also in the gap with other powers. In terms of scale, the gap is even greater.

The Russian Empire had a huge territory, abundant resources, a large population.

This is undoubtedly very suitable for the development of industry.

In particular, once large-scale infrastructure construction begins, it will further stimulate the development of industry.

In this way, a virtuous circle can undoubtedly be formed.

Mikhail’s plan has been brewing for many years. Now, it’s finally time to start implementing.

At the end of July 1796, Mikhail summoned Prime Minister Phobbedoszav, Home Minister Stolypin, Finance Minister Ivan Goremegin, Minister of Agriculture Demirit, and Chief of the General Staff General Brushilov to officially announce his plan for agricultural reform.

“Gentlemen, I believe everyone knows very well that serfs make up the vast majority of the empire’s population. They are not just tied to the land. And life is terrible.

I decided to distribute all the land owned by the imperial government and the royal family to the serfs of the empire free of charge, so that they could turn from serfs into peasants. In addition, all the land of the landlords was also purchased by the imperial government, and then distributed to the serfs, so that they could become landed peasants!

What is everyone’s opinion on this? ”

Mikhail looked at the ministers.

At this moment, the jaws of a bunch of cabinet ministers have dropped in shock.

Although they had long known that the young tsar had great ambitions and ambitions, they did not expect that Mikhail’s first action after becoming tsar was to promote agricultural reforms.

The maladies of agriculture were well known to the top brass of the Russian Empire. Even the successive tsars wanted to solve it. But in the end, it failed.

Now, Mikhail is going to take this problem, can this really succeed?
