Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2165 Daming's method really works
"Tom, you have drawn 8 bonniers (a unit for calculating area, 2 bonnier is roughly equal to 1 hectare, which is about 1 acres) of land on the 15th number."

In the small town of Giverny, under the joint witness of the residents of the whole town, the residents of the town re-measured and divided the land of the town under the joint guidance of the Spanish tax officials and city officials.

All the land was divided into equal parts according to the population of the town, and then the ownership of the land was allocated by lottery.

As the tax officer shouted Tom's name, a tattered, stooped farmer stood up.

"This is the land deed of the land. Now you only need to swear allegiance to the great Charles V, and then sign on it, and this land will belong to you."

The tax official took out the land deed and said.

"I swear that I will swear to the death my allegiance to the great Charles V, to be loyal to Charles V, to pay taxes, and to preserve the great Spanish Empire!"

Tom raised his palm without hesitation, swearing allegiance to Charles V who never knew what he looked like again.

"very good!"

"On behalf of Emperor Charles V, I officially declare this land to be yours."

The tax officer nodded in satisfaction, and then handed over the land deed to Tom.

Tom accepted the contract with trembling hands. He was so excited that he couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that a commoner like himself could own his own land one day.

"I've got my own land, I've got my own land!"

Tom shouted happily, which made the eyes of everyone around who had not yet received their own land turn red.

Now no one discusses the big-nosed king in exile in Hong Kong, nor the demise of France.

What everyone is discussing most now is the matter of land distribution.

It's just spring now. After the land is divided, as long as one species is cultivated diligently, there will be endless food by the end of the year.

Thinking of these, everyone's heart is hot, hot.

"Goring~"

Soon, as the tax officer called out a name, another person hurriedly stood up.

"Göring, you have drawn land number 87, with an area of ​​2 Bonniers."

"Now as long as you are willing to swear allegiance to the great Spanish Empire, Charles V, you can own this land!"

"I do, I do!"

"I swear allegiance to the great Charles V, to be loyal to him forever, to pay taxes, and to preserve the great Spanish Empire!"

All over France, with Charles V distributing the land of the nobles to the landless commoners, while encouraging reclamation and lowering taxes, a new frenzy has set off throughout France.

Countless farmers and civilians have obtained their own land, and at the same time a large amount of barren land has been reclaimed. These farmers and civilians are crazy.

At this moment, he put all his thoughts on dividing the land and reclaiming the land wholeheartedly. No one cared about the demise of France or the exile of King Big Nose anymore.

Originally, there were riots everywhere in France, uprisings everywhere, and people who resisted Spanish rule everywhere. Many French nobles secretly contributed to the flames, trying to use this force to overthrow the Spanish rule and restore their territories.

However, now, everyone has no time to pay attention to these nobles, and even a large number of people directly arrested these nobles and sent them to the Spaniards on their own initiative.

The land of the nobles has been divided, which of course forms an opposition to these nobles, even if many nobles used to treat the commoners and farmers under their command very well.

However, now, after the formation of an essential confrontation, even the best aristocrats are no longer popular. Farmers and commoners, driven by huge interests, decisively chose to stand on the side of Spain.

As for France, nobles, kings with big noses, etc., these are not important anymore.

What is the benefit of being loyal to France, to the King of the Big Nosed?
Everyone has no land of their own, and they still need to bear heavy taxes. They don't have enough to eat, don't wear warm clothes, and live in very poor conditions.

It is different for the loyal to the great Charles V, everyone is allocated their own land, and the taxes to be paid in the future will be much less, a lot, as long as they work hard and reclaim more land, the family will have enough food and clothing in the future. There is absolutely no problem with warm clothes.

The whole of France, with the progress of the land reform, France, which was originally full of swords, wars, and riots, soon became extremely calm and stable.

The Spanish officials sent to various places have also become safe, and the garrisons everywhere have also reported that there is nothing to do.

Not only did the commoners and peasants no longer resist the Spanish rule, but even the remaining French nobles who were hiding were quickly arrested under the reports of the commoners and peasants.

In just a few months, the whole of France quickly stabilized, and various decrees issued by Charles V were also quickly implemented here in France.

The peasants and civilians who have acquired the land are now focusing on their own land, constantly cultivating the land, plowing the land, and preparing for this year's farming. Everyone is full of energy, and who has time to make trouble.

Inside the Royal Palace of the Spanish Empire.

"Your Majesty, compared to February, the riots in France have been greatly reduced, and the scale and number of people have also been greatly reduced, and they can be easily suppressed."

"Civilians and farmers all over France are now busy reclaiming and cultivating the land. According to our current statistics, if the weather is good this year, the food produced by these cultivated lands in France alone will be enough for us to eat for three years. .”

Thomas excitedly reported to Charles V the situation in France. The French land reform was proposed and implemented by Thomas.

"Haha, Daming people's method will work!"

"Originally, I expected that it would take at least a few years to stabilize France, and it might take decades, or even hundreds of years, to truly rule France."

"I didn't expect that it was just a simple land reform, distributing the land of the nobles to these landless commoners and farmers, and France would quickly stabilize."

"Now, we can transfer more than 20 troops from France to support other battlefields."

After hearing this, Charles V immediately laughed happily.

To be honest, he really didn't expect the effect of this land reform to be so obvious, and the riots and resistance in France were quickly stabilized in a very short period of time.

"Your Majesty, not only will you deploy 20 troops, as long as your Majesty orders, we can also recruit hundreds of thousands of troops from France. The total population of France is much larger than that of Spain."

"Those civilians and peasants who got the land, they are now loyal to Your Majesty, and they will swear their allegiance to the great Majesty."

Pelos said with a smile.

"Haha, if we stabilize France, our strength will be greatly increased."

Charles V laughed happily.

"Your Majesty, this is what people from the Eastern Ming Dynasty say is that those who win the hearts of the people win the world!"

"Our European tradition has always been to only value nobles and knights, but ignore the power of commoners and peasants. In fact, the number of commoners and peasants is the largest. As long as they can exert their strength, it will be a force that cannot be ignored. great power."

"In the long history of the East, the most important thing for the rulers of any dynasty to stabilize their rule is to let the tillers have their fields."

"As long as the common people and farmers have their own land, they will put all their minds on their own land and work hard to cultivate it, and they will not think about other things at all."

"They cultivate the land, the output of the land can increase tax revenue, and the food can fill their stomachs. Naturally, they will not make troubles, riots and so on."

Thomas said with a smile.

If you are familiar with the history of the East, you will clearly know the great wisdom contained in the ancients of the East. They have understood the relationship between society and people very early, and they also clearly know the most important things and how to manage them. Huge country and population.

It is this kind of wisdom that is why the East has always been able to form a unified situation, and it has always been able to stand firm and become the greatest civilization in the world.

"Well, well said!"

"In the future, I still need to read more books from the East and learn the great wisdom of the Orientals."

Charles V also nodded solemnly after listening.

In the past, I just thought that the Ming people were very powerful in all aspects, but I still couldn't understand why the Ming Empire could rule such a vast territory and such a vast population.

If a huge empire like the Ming Empire had followed European traditions and methods, it might have been split into hundreds, or even thousands of small countries.

But the Ming Empire did not. The land of the Ming Empire was getting bigger and bigger, and the population was increasing, but it was always unified, and it also had a very strong unity.

Even Hong Kong, a colony far away in Europe, is still under the rule of the Ming Empire at all times. The Black Earth Province in Eastern Europe annexed by the Ming people not only did not split from it, but gradually became closer and closer to Ming Dynasty. Become an inseparable part of the Ming Empire.

No matter where this Daming man goes, he always seems to recognize his identity.

Europe is different. Unity is only short-lived, and division is the norm.

I want to build a huge empire covering the whole of Europe, and there are many, many places that need to learn from the East.
