Chapter 1326 Reform? Reform!
"Crazy! You are really crazy!"
In the study room of the palace, Alleria was busy talking about it. As soon as the new laws and regulations were announced, even her secretaries were overwhelmed. Now almost everyone was busy, and feedback from various places came back. The messages were in a mess, and the sounds of magic phone calls kept coming and going.
She cried and laughed and shouted: "You are crazy, but I am also crazy with you!"
If someone who didn't know it saw it, they probably wouldn't know what to think.
Olina next to her had almost the same feeling, looking at Tang En's face full of collapse: "Dear, we all know what you want to do for the future of this world, and we also know that you come from a more civilized, more civilized country. A harmonious world, you really want to make this world more civilized as soon as possible, but what you are doing now is really too exaggerated, your steps are too big! - You are competing for benefits with those people, it is easy Provoke those personnel to fight back!”
Alleria said with a tearful voice: "This time I agree with the queen, I really shouldn't accompany you to be so crazy - now that they are not crazy, I am going crazy."
Both mother and daughter are very clear about Tang En's identity and mission, so they also know that Tang En's original world was a more civilized world. The social reform of Purandar is indeed imperative, but this is not how reform is carried out! To issue a lot of new laws and policies so suddenly, and most of them are against the aristocracy that has a say in society, is definitely looking for death!
——It’s a bit ugly to say that the government is forcing the people to rebel, but at least there will definitely be people who will revolt for their own interests!
Tang En shook his head and said: "You are worrying too much. In fact, the pain experienced in the reform is indispensable. In particular, our entire political system of Illrus Empire has not experienced a huge internal revolution. It is the development of social form." In China, we initiate social reforms spontaneously, so it is normal to encounter resistance."
Olina couldn't help but said: "Since you know it, why are you so sudden..."
"It is precisely because I know that I need to make such a decisive decision," Tang En said very seriously. "I have experienced a lot of things like reform. To be honest, without the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist, there is no way to make a clean break with the past. Determination, without the decisiveness to completely separate from the old society, it is impossible to succeed."
"Social contradictions are common among any class. The intensification of such contradictions will become more and more serious as the social class solidifies. Now, the entire society is undergoing huge changes due to our actions, and the differences between classes The contradictions have been reduced, and this is a good time for us to take action."
“If we don’t directly solve the problems left over from the old society now, but wait until later to deal with them slowly, sooner or later these problems will turn into terrible time bombs that will explode at a moment that none of us can imagine. "
Tang En looked at the two of them seriously and said: "It is my idea to resolve all potential problems as soon as possible instead of waiting until they are about to erupt. It will irritate those people, and I will even directly turn the land into state ownership instead of using my own name to take back the land."
Alleria also knows that with the development of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, the productivity of the entire society is constantly improving, and at this time, the contribution of the people at the bottom to society is far greater than that of the aristocracy. The entire society has done more harm than good. They occupy a large amount of social resources but make no contribution to the development of society. What is even more frightening is that they also take this kind of treatment as a matter of course.
In the past, due to inconvenient transportation and communication, the aristocracy was a tool for rulers to maintain their rule. They divided and conquered a huge territory. The ruler only needed to manage the aristocracy well, and basically there would be no major problems in his rule. .
But now, there are various convenient communication tools such as magic mobile phones, artificial soul quantum computers, magic fax machines, and magic networks. The central government’s control over local areas has never been stronger, and nobility is no longer needed. The class came to assist management. Their existence dispersed the control power of the central government. They had too many privileges, which was a destabilizing factor.
Therefore, abolishing the privileges of the nobility, releasing resources to the entire society, increasing the rights of the people, and giving them a path to advancement are almost inevitable things that will happen in the future - but Alleria did not expect that this day would happen so soon. .
If you think about it carefully, what Tang En said actually makes sense. Social reform is bound to be full of all kinds of resistance. No one with vested interests is willing to release their rights. They will do everything possible to prevent the reform from happening. This process It is extremely difficult and full of obstacles. It is simply impossible to complete the reform process gently.
Normally speaking, only a thorough revolution, the overthrow of the previous regime, and the complete overthrow of the privileged class can create a new order.
But Tang En came.
He established a new order, he brought about a productivity revolution in society, and he created miracles one after another. What may be most incomprehensible to those people is that he actually gave up his own interests and chose to give back the benefits. To the whole society!
Others don't know, but people around Tang En know very well that he doesn't need these so-called wealth, and he doesn't care whose hands it is. The Datang Chamber of Commerce is just a channel for him to gather the resources of the entire Purandal. , the identity of the regent is just a tool for him to redistribute these resources. There has always been only one purpose he wants to achieve, and that is to increase the overall strength level of the entire Purandal as much as possible, whether it is agriculture, industry, Commerce, or the most important military strength.
Tang En wants to lead the entire Purandal to launch a class revolution by sacrificing his own interests, completely abandoning the old ideas of the past, and embracing new social concepts. Everyone will work hard for a glorious future and a lofty ideal—— The most ideal situation in Tang En's mind is to complete this reform within one or two generations, and standardize the laws, customs, morals, education and other standards of the entire society as much as possible, so as to form a stable, efficient and harmonious society. , and is full of civilized modern society.
Otherwise, if time goes by, it is difficult to guarantee that those people will distort this concept in the future, and eventually be dragged into the abyss by those cancer-like social garbage who are unwilling to progress and are willing to degenerate, and everything will return to the way it was before.
As the well-deserved emperor of the entire Purandar, Tang En is indeed qualified to do this, and his role in taking the lead is also obvious. At least Oberry, Adrian, Duke Taris, etc., as well as those supported by Tang En The new lords have publicly stated that they fully support Tang En's decision, and have taken the lead in returning all the land owned by the family to Tang En. At the same time, they will comply with the new laws and regulations and will allow farmers who are currently using those lands for farming to use them free of charge. The rent of the tenants in the territory was no longer levied, and the tenants were completely free. However, according to the new law, they must accept the jurisdiction of the chief executive of the administrative district where they are located and accept identity registration.
Alleria, Olena, and even others around Tang En knew that Tang En was doing this for the sake of the future of the entire society, but they all had the same worry, that is, Tang En's speed was too fast. There was no time for the whole society to prepare, and a bombshell was suddenly thrown out, leaving everyone stunned.
"Aren't you afraid of their uprising?"
Olina has deep worries in her heart. Tang En is a very kind person. He cannot bear to do anything to those people. Those people may not care about his kindness. If they are really jealous, they will really dare to revolt. ——Especially since the current education level is still far behind, those people are too easy to be fooled. No matter how you look at it, this is not a good time for social revolution.
"Don't worry, most people don't dare."
Tang En said with disdain: "Ninety percent of the people in the entire society are civilians at the bottom. Now that the civilians at the bottom are all on my side, why should they fight with me?"
"Now everyone knows that Jean and the City of Silver are on my side. Dwarves, dwarfs, elves, Nagas, and even goblins and giant dragons are all my allies. They all support what I do. How much courage do those who are unwilling to accept the decision have to dare to stand up and rebel?"
"Yes, it is true that some people are easily brainwashed and deceived, and some people will be jealous because of the loss of profits, so they will impulsively want breakfast, but don't forget that I am the king and I have great righteousness. If they dare to stand If you come out to rebel, you must be ready to die for your ideals, so I can just take the opportunity to clean up these unstable factors."
Tang En smiled very happily: "Do they think I'm forcing them to rebel? That's right. I'm just trying to avoid those people who pop out on their own initiative, so I don't have to go through all the effort to find them one by one..."
"They think I'm too kind to attack my own people? Then let them continue to have this misunderstanding."
Tang En smiled even happier: "Although I don't know who gave them this misunderstanding, it is a kind of affirmation for me, and I feel quite honored."
Is Tang En very kind?
Yes, in a general sense, he is indeed kind.
But you have stood up to rebel against him, and you still think that he will continue to be so kind. Not only will he let you go, but he will also choose to forgive you...
How big do you think he is?
