Struggle in Russia

Alexei scratched his head, because he had never thought about these issues. Whether it was his father or him, they had the same view on emancipating the serfs. How about it, I really didn't think much about it.

Their templates and formulas for this matter are fixed, and they have never thought that people are not boring data, and it is impossible to follow your template. In terms of the cost of redemption, 100 rubles may not be much for noblemen, but for serfs who can only rely on the sky for food and have single and backward production technology and production conditions, it is difficult to reach the sky.

There will be natural disasters, and even people who eat whole grains will get sick, and one disease can destroy a family. What's more, the seemingly reasonable 100 ruble redemption fee standard is nonsense in Li Xiao's view!

Young adults in their twenties and thirties are paid 100 rubles, and children in their teens and old men in their seventies and eighties are also 100 rubles?

After talking about people, let’s talk about land. Some of the land was fertile and some were barren. Given the nature of the serf owners, they would certainly not be willing to give up the most fertile land. As a result, the land allocated to the serfs might not be optimistic. After a year of hard work, it is likely to be nothing more than food and clothing. What will people pay for it?

The most ridiculous thing is that Alexei and others never thought about what to do if the serfs couldn't afford to pay. Is the deprivation of liberty a serf or something else?

If liberty is taken away, serfdom is not eliminated, but only continues to exist in another form and form. And with the ghosts of those old and cunning serf owners, with this excuse, there are a hundred ways to turn the peasants into serfs again, so what's the point?

This series of questions made Alexei dizzy. He realized that he had really thought too little and was too simple. He couldn't solve any of Li Xiao's random questions, and he was very depressed for a while.

"So what I said about the redemption policy to liberate the serfs is nonsense. There should not be too many pitfalls and problems in it. The most important thing is that the serfs can't afford so much money! If you want to solve the problem of the serfs, you can't use this set !"

Alexei humbly asked: "Then what do you think should be done?"

Li Xiao replied: "There must be problems with my method. Let's discuss and study together! I think that the first thing to fundamentally eliminate the serf system is to restore the free body of the serfs for free. There is no need to redeem freedom. And freedom! This is the most important point!"

Alexei opened his mouth and said, "I can understand it, but those serf owners will definitely not do it. They think it is a robbery of their private property!"

Li Xiao replied solemnly: "This is robbing their private property! In my opinion, people are born free and will never be slaves! Even if you don't mention this, those serfs have paid for their services for generations. The cost of redemption! These iron cocks want to take the opportunity to make a fortune, how can there be such a good thing!"

Alexey thought for a while, and he agreed with Li Xiao's idea, but he always felt that there would be great resistance to doing so, and felt that those serf owners would rebel.

Li Xiao chuckled and said, "That's why I asked you to do it in Wallachia first! As long as there is a dishonest serf owner here, we have a hundred ways to deal with him!"

Alexei was a little dumbfounded, he didn't know whether to praise someone's foresight, or complain about someone's bullying.

However, he still has objections: "Even so, if the serf owners in Wallachia resist too fiercely, your Majesty won't be happy if he finds out?"

In fact, the "bar" can be completely removed. With the personality of Nicholas I who wanted to save face, he would definitely not be happy, but Li Xiao's "bullying the weak and fearing the hard" is also strategic. He replied with a smile: "That's why I let you give up the profits For those diehards in the country, with their help to speak good words, there is no need to worry about this issue at all!"

Alexei became more and more confused, and asked directly: "How do you operate your so-called profit sharing?"

Li Xiao did not directly answer this question,

Instead, he asked, "Don't worry, let me ask you first, who owns the land of Wallachia?"

Alexei probably understood what Li Xiao wanted to say, but he didn't dare to be completely sure, so he could only answer honestly: "Except for half of them being controlled by noble landlords, about one third is in the hands of the church. The rest is basically in the hands of wealthy businessmen and ordinary landlords..."

Li Xiao nodded, because Alexei's answer was similar to what he knew, and he said slowly: "That means about 90% of the land is monopolized by the church and nobles, right?"

Without waiting for Alexei to answer, Li Xiao said self-consciously: "If you want to liberate the serfs, you must use knives on those classes that control most of the land... But how you do it is also particular! "

Alexei immediately widened his eyes and listened, and Li Xiao didn't continue to play tricks: "The church occupies about one-third of the land, and these fake monks can't move for the time being, so we can only let them go first! "

Alexei also understood the reason for not moving the church, because Nicholas I's family were all fanatics, and they always regarded themselves as the guardians of the Orthodox Church. They did not hesitate to turn against France in Jerusalem for their faith. If you directly confiscated the church's property as soon as you came up, it would be tantamount to slapping him in the face, and the tyrant would kill you without hesitation at all.

So even though Li Xiao couldn't get used to these fake monks who were not produced, he didn't have the guts to caress their tiger whiskers. This tiger's butt is really untouchable.

Excluding about 30% of the land owned by the church, there are about 70% of the country left to be tossed about. But it doesn't mean that you can toss and toss as much as you want.

Li Xiao analyzed slowly: "Among the 70% of the land, about 50% can be stabbed at will, because this group of people sided with the Revolutionary Party in the last rebellion, and it is only right and proper to liquidate them! So we First of all, let's cut the knife from this 50!"

To be honest, Alexei was a little disappointed, because Li Xiao had cut off half of the land in a few words. It was not enough to distribute such a small amount of land to the serfs who accounted for 90% of the country's total population!

Who would have thought that Li Xiao would pour cold water on him again: "Who told you that the remaining 50 can be distributed to ordinary serfs?"

Alexei was stunned, very confused, and blurted out: "Should we still distribute it to others? It doesn't make sense, okay?"
