I'm starting a revolution in Terra

It is the same in the world of Terra. Only nobles can afford sugar, and those are nobles of relatively high status. Some lesser nobles cannot afford it.

Su Xing also learned about the price of sugar in Chernobyl. How should I put it? It is more expensive than the same weight of pure gold. You can imagine how high the status of sugar is.

The sugar in Terra is extracted from the rhizome of a plant, and because there is not much arable land in Chernobyl, there is very little land available to grow this plant.

And because of the production problem, even if sugar is produced, there is not much, so the price of sugar in Chernobyl is extremely expensive.

It’s not that there were no nobles who wanted to use part of the arable land to grow sugar-making plants, but their plan was rejected. Chernobyl itself didn’t have much arable land, so how could they allow the nobles to use the precious arable land to grow sugar-making plants?

After all, you won't die if you don't eat sugar, but you will die if you don't eat. Although it has no effect on the nobles, if the ordinary people below can't survive, they will rebel.

No noble would dare to do this. It would arouse the indignation of the people below. Who would care whether you are a noble or an emperor?

When people are starving to death, all respect and inferiority are shit in their eyes.

Obviously the nobles also knew about this. After all, there were too many rebellions due to hunger in Ursus' history. They didn't want to try whether a group of people who were about to starve to death would continue to obey orders.

After Su Xing conquered Chernobog, he also checked the original planting blocks. However, Chernobog's planting blocks were still too small, and it was impossible to supply the population of a mobile city.

Su Xing was not surprised by this. After all, there were more than one million people in Chernobyl. How could one planting area possibly supply so many people?

In addition to the food provided by the planting blocks, Chernobog also trades with farmers on the mobile city's waterways and with rural areas in more remote areas. It is the food traded from these places that keeps the people of Chernobog from starving.

The farmers in these villages also need the industrial products in the mobile city. After all, they cannot eat the extra food, so they will exchange the food for the industrial products in the mobile city.

However, since Su Xing developed fungi, Chernobog's desire for food was no longer so urgent. After potatoes and sweet potatoes appeared, Chernobog had become self-sufficient.

Su Xing originally wanted to use potatoes and sweet potatoes to make some side dishes, such as potato chips and dried sweet potatoes, and starch could also be made.

However, Su Xing thought about it and gave up. The current output is still too luxurious for making side dishes. Moreover, making things like potato chips requires oil. In Chernobyl, oil is a scarce commodity and the price is not low.

Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help rubbing his forehead. Only when you manage a city do you know how difficult it is. There are all kinds of things waiting to be solved, and everything is lacking.

Fortunately, Su Xing can refer to Earth for things related to people's livelihood. For example, as long as the salt-making method is improved, the output can be increased several times or even dozens of times. After industrialization, Chernobyl will no longer need to worry about salt.

Su Xing passed down the method of salt making as early as after he ruled Chernobyl. Now salt is no longer so scarce in Chernobyl.

Although the price is still much higher, it is much better than Chernobyl before Su Xing came. At least ordinary people can buy salt now.

According to Su Xing's estimation, the price of salt will continue to drop in a while, and more people will be able to afford salt by then.

Apart from salt, Su Xing had no other choice but to deal with things like sugar. After all, all the arable land was used to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, so other plants had to be abandoned.

After all, the most urgent task now is to harvest a large amount of food. We cannot fight the next war with Ursus without food.

Moreover, Su Xing's purpose of hoarding grain was to bribe those ordinary people who could not survive. After all, with the tax rate in Ursus, it was already very difficult for ordinary people to survive.

When the next war breaks out, Ursus might collect taxes by suppressing the rebels. Then it will be time for Su Xing to take in those desperate people.

As for whether Ursus would do this? Of course, it's obvious. Although Su Xing knew that the tax Ursus wanted to collect was within the range that ordinary people could afford.

But those who go to collect taxes don’t think so. Everyone will add a layer to the taxes of the common people. After all, they also need to pay errand fees for every trip they make.

If taxes are added layer by layer, the final figure for ordinary people will be an astronomical figure.

What can civilians do in this situation? Either refuse to hand it over or flee. There is no other choice.

But it’s still early for these things. Now Su Xing just wants to make the sugar.

After all, in addition to being edible, sugar is also a strategic material, and it is also the best source of energy during war.

However, sugar is still difficult to produce. Su Xing came up with the idea of ​​using rice and wheat to make it.

It is not difficult to make maltose. Su Xing has the method of making it in his mind. It can be made as long as there is rice and wheat.

Although there are plants that can produce sugar, the output is too low, so it is difficult to produce on a large scale.

The output of maltose made from rice and wheat is relatively high. Fortunately, Terra has rice and wheat, but the output is not satisfactory.

Moreover, rice and wheat are mostly grown in Yan State, but not much in Ursus. Compared with rice, wheat is the most grown crop in Ursus.

After all, rice is a warm-loving crop and is generally planted in spring and summer.

Wheat is different. It is sown from September to October and is very resistant to cold weather.

Su Xing thought about it and decided that he had to set aside an area to plant wheat. As for rice, forget it. It was difficult for rice to survive in the extreme weather in the snowfield. It would be better to wait until we got to a warmer place.

................

On the other side, the nobles of Ursus had gathered their elite troops and marched their army towards the snowfield.

Chapter 96: There are no factions within the party, and all kinds of weird things

Su Xing didn't know that the nobles would come back so soon? But even if he knew, he didn't care. After the weapon was exposed, Su Xing was ready to go to war with Ursus.

Lev and others have infiltrated other mobile cities in Ursus. Because there are fewer intelligence personnel, the infiltration speed is a bit slow.

However, as time went on, the intelligence organization of Lev and others grew stronger. It originally had only dozens of people, but now it has expanded to almost several thousand people.

Each of these people has undergone strict screening, and then Su Xing also used his own abilities to observe them. Only after confirming that there are no problems can they enter the core of the organization.

There are also some peripheral personnel, but it is impossible for these people to get close to the core. They can only do so after passing rigorous tests.

With the help of these intelligence personnel, Lev has now begun distributing books in more than a dozen mobile cities, and many workers and teachers have joined the revolutionary ranks.

However, these people are hiding in secret. After all, if they are discovered by the authorities, their lives will be in danger.

In addition to these people, some idealistic nobles also joined in. Su Xing was very happy about this. After all, there were very few such people among the nobles, and each of them was a valuable talent.

As for the arrangement for these nobles, Su Xing directly asked them to educate people. It was impossible to let them enter the core layer directly.

But no matter what, the joining of the nobles means that there are still people in the country of Ursus who hope that she will become better. Everyone with a certain amount of knowledge can see from books what problems have arisen in the country of Ursus and how to solve these problems.

So after reading the books, these people's idea was to do what was written in the books. As for the emperor and the nobles, for idealists, the problems of Ursus only arose because of the emperor and the nobles, and these feudal forces should have been swept into the trash heap long ago.

However, there are also people who have been educated since childhood that the emperor is God, and the seeds of feudalism have been planted in their hearts. It is still difficult to get these people to join the revolutionary camp.

However, although these people did not dare to join the revolution, they would not report these intelligence personnel. After all, the nobles and pickets of Ursus were really inhumane. These lower classes did not care whether they were ruled by the People's Liberation Army or the emperor. It was the same anyway.

Su Xing had no way to deal with these people. After all, their thoughts were not something that could be changed immediately just by telling them to. Education was not brainwashing, so how could it be that simple?

Even for the people in Chernobyl, Su Xing spent several years educating them before they knew what revolution was and what the People's Liberation Army should do.

Su Xing even hopes that he can have the Originium skill to influence other people's thoughts, so that there will be many people who can become his comrades.

But reality is not a game. It is impossible to make some uneducated people understand communism and revolutionary ideas in a short period of time. They can only understand through long-term education.

While Su Xing was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Su Xing said, "Come in."

The door opened and W walked in with a document in his hand.

W put the document in front of Su Xing and said, "This is the news from the front. The nobles of Ursus have sent their elite troops to advance here, and they are also informing various places that Chernobog has been occupied by the rebels.

In addition, other mobile cities are also forcibly conscripting soldiers to attack Chernobyl."

“It’s not surprising. After all, the emperor and the nobles are well aware of the strength of the People’s Liberation Army. Even the elite troops cannot stop rifle bullets, so it is normal for them to recruit ordinary people to serve as the vanguard.

Although the PLA is strong, its numbers are small. If it is caught in a human wave tactic, the PLA will be in a passive position. "

Su Xing sighed: "Although the People's Liberation Army is not afraid, those ordinary people who were forcibly conscripted are unlucky. I don't know how many people will sacrifice?"

W curled his lips: "War is not a joke. Isn't sacrifice the most common thing? These ordinary people were just forcibly conscripted. Can't you just let the intelligence personnel lurking in the mobile city tell those ordinary people the truth?

Presumably, these people will have an even worse impression of Ursus after learning the truth. Although the current Ursus is already inhuman enough, when they become even more inhumane, those oppressed people will surely abandon Ursus and join our People's Liberation Army.

As you said, the emperor and nobles of Ursus are all reactionaries. We are not afraid of them not being reactionary, but we are afraid of them not being reactionary enough."

Su Xing shook his head. Although this was true, he still didn't want to see too many ordinary people being sacrificed because of the emperor and the nobles. But he had no choice. After all, the areas he ruled were only Chernobyl and the villages in the snowfield, which were still far worse than Ursus.

W took out another document and said, "By the way, some people in the upper echelons have changed their minds recently. Some people think that occupying Chernobyl is enough now, and we can negotiate with Ursus.

As long as Ursus recognizes our legitimacy, we can stop the war with Ursus and just manage Chernobyl and the snowfields. There is no need to fight to the death with Ursus.

Another group of people think that the power we have now surpassed Ursus, and our weapons are directly overwhelming, so we can just rush up and fight Ursus head-on, and there is no need to hide in the snowfield. "

After Su Xing heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. Although he knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, he didn't expect it to happen so soon?

Isn’t this leftism and rightism?

The camps of these people are really clearly divided. One side thinks that since they already have a mobile city and the snowfield has become the territory of the People's Liberation Army, they don't need to continue fighting with Ursus. As long as they occupy this place and don't leave, even Ursus will find it difficult to defeat them.

The other side thinks that the People's Liberation Army already has the power to defeat the Internal Guards. With rifles and grenades, even the elite Ursus troops cannot be a match for the People's Liberation Army, so why continue to stay in the snowfield?

Some radicals even wanted to move the mobile city to the capital of Ursus, directly capture Fort Sainte, and let the People's Liberation Army rule the entire Ursus.

W looked at Su Xing and asked, "What do you think? The two sides have quarreled several times recently. Each side wants the other to agree with their own ideas. If it weren't for Heragg's pressure, they might have already fought."

"There are no factions within the party, and there are all kinds of ideas. As the organization grows, various ideas will emerge. This is very normal." Su Xing explained to W.

Chapter 97: Kazdel's Situation

Although W has been studying for quite a while, she still doesn't know much about politics. After all, when she was studying, she was interested in the knowledge about tactics that Su Xing talked about.

She was too lazy to learn about politics and her understanding of politics was only superficial, so she had no good way to deal with the two factions that emerged in the organization.

However, Hellagur was more familiar with this kind of thing. After all, he left Ursus because of political struggles.

And his end was already considered good. In the decades after the war, Ursus executed hundreds of generals. Compared with those who had died, Hellagur's end was already good.

But even so, Hellagur did not have a good impression of Ursus, especially the nobles. If it were not for his own lack of strength, he would have taken action against these people long ago.

However, because of Nayin's existence, Herag gave up this idea.

However, the appearance of Su Xing gave Hellagur hope again, and the existence of the People's Liberation Army gave Hellagur a chance to see Ursus' rebirth. Compared with the militaristic Ursus, Hellagur wanted to see the communist Ursus more.

When Hellagur learned about the different ideas that emerged within the People's Liberation Army, he immediately went to mediate. However, some people also suggested that Hellagur suppress such ideas directly.

However, Helag, who had read the Communist Manifesto, knew that some things were better to be relieved than to be blocked. On the contrary, the more you suppress them, the stronger the backlash will be.

People are very complicated. There are a thousand different opinions in the eyes of a thousand people. No one can demand that other people's opinions must be the same as their own.

It was only a matter of time before different ideas emerged in the organization, and both Su Xing and Helag had been prepared for this.

During the time when Hellagur was a general, he knew clearly that even in Ursus under the rule of the previous emperor, the nobles and generals there had their own plans, and there were many cases where they almost fought because of the struggle for interests and territory.

The ideas in the organization were currently just arguing, and they were much gentler than anything he had ever seen.

However, Hellagur would not allow problems that might arise within the Liberation Army due to different ideas, so he has been supervising both parties during this period to prevent them from doing bad things on impulse.

The two parties still gave face to Hellagur. After all, he was a veteran in the People's Liberation Army, and Hellagur's own strength was strong enough, so he was able to suppress the two parties.

Due to Hellagur's intervention, the different factions are currently only engaged in verbal battles, and there has been no fighting between the factions.

Although some people suggested that Helag invite Marshal Su Xing to come, after all, as long as Marshal Su Xing took action, the factions within the People's Liberation Army would immediately calm down.

After all, Marshal Su Xing is the core of the People's Liberation Army. No matter how these factions quarrel, as long as Marshal Su Xing comes forward, the problem can be solved.

However, Helag refused. After all, Su Xing had too many things to deal with every day, and Helag didn't want to be disturbed by faction affairs.

Moreover, the nobles of Ursus have already sent elite troops to Chernobog. Next, they will officially go to war with Ursus. Hellagur does not want such trivial matters to disturb Su Xing.

However, he obviously didn't expect W to directly tell Su Xing about the faction. After all, letting Su Xing know would only add to his troubles.

Su Xing understood Herag's thoughts, but thoughts must be controlled, otherwise bad things might happen.

Factionalism is normal in organizations, whether it is militarism, communism, or capitalism, there will be many different ideas within these ideologies.

Some do it for profit, some for power, and some for ideals. It is not surprising that such things happen.

Su Xing has seen a lot on Earth. The current thinking in the organization is just a debate between leftism and rightism, which is already very mild.

Now that he already knew about the dispute between the two parties, Su Xing would not turn a blind eye to it. He would go into a full-scale war with Ursus next.

At that time, let those who think that Ursus’ strength is just so-so fight against Ursus’ elite troops, and let them know clearly that Ursus is not as weak as they imagined.

As for those who wanted to stay in a corner, Su Xing disagreed with their ideas. After all, the People's Liberation Army had already displayed weapons beyond this era, and Ursus would definitely not let them go. Those who thought they could negotiate were just deceiving themselves.
