Chapter 321 Land

The cool sea breeze brushed its face and blew away the heat of the day.

As the largest island, there is also a deep-water port. Qiaoyue Island deserves to be the center of the entire Ogasawara Islands. In addition, it is one of the secret offshore experimental centers designated by Master Li, so the construction here is very fast. After several years of efforts, a small town centered on the port has been initially completed. Yes.

This is a private archipelago bought by Master Li from Japan during the First Sino-Japanese War. According to the previous discussion with Li Enfu, the three small islands at the center of the core of the archipelago will permanently belong to the royal property, but the outer Iwo Jima and other islands will be handed over to the military for military management, so that they can not only protect the whole archipelago, but also Take advantage of it.

The construction of Qiaoyue Island was basically designed and planned by Li Mo alone. Deeply influenced by the concept of vacation and leisure in later generations, he almost built this place into a tourist island. The roundabout road leads to every beach and every house around the island, and there are also some small berths in the harbor. Of course, there are also Hao Hua's big swimming pool.

What a pity!

Master Li blinked his skin, and the nylon had not been made. The great bikini was still in his abdomen and could not be implemented. The boldest Yueer was pregnant again and did not dare to go into the water. She was small and wanted to take care of the child. Only San Niang, who was familiar with the surname of Water, with the encouragement of Master Li, shyly replied that no one, quietly swam alone and played in the water. .

Although it is already night, because there are a large number of laboratories and some troops stationed here, the power demand is extremely urgent, so a small thermal power plant has been built on the uninhabited island near Qiaoyue Island to supply power to the whole island through submarine cables.

In addition, several experimental wind turbines have also been erected at the highest point of the island, but they are not very mature, and the power and power supply are not very stable. However, Master Li adheres to the principle that any technology can only mature in application, so he still gritted his teeth and asked Li Enfu to place an order of 500 units for Daxia Islands and other islands.

However, compared with the nearly 20,000 large and small islands of Luzon under the control of Master Li, this amount is only a drop in the sea, so his goal of the electrical laboratory and political axe is to improve wind power in the next five years, and at the same time, about 3,000 inhabited major islands will be filled with wind generators.

This is a crazy plan. The disadvantage is that the investment is huge. The advantage is that it can drive at least 20,000 jobs, as well as the progress of power technology. At the same time, it can drive the development of the island economy, lay radios all over the territory, etc., so in the long run, this investment is nothing.

Master Li is crazy about electricity and stubborn! So he can make Atlas no longer want to leave, and make the whole bay here lit up, not to mention this exquisite but luxurious royal villa.

Looking from the wide villa platform, the lights in the beautiful harbor in the distance are swaying, and the people in the light and shadow are in twos and threes. Because most of the people living here are the families of some scientific and technological workers and the garrison, although there are only a few small grocery stores run by the families of soldiers, the goods are very complete, so life is simple but very leisurely.

Master Li lay on the rocking chair and pretended to sleep. From time to time, he glanced at the mermaid playing in the swimming pool downstairs, and he couldn't wait to jump from here immediately. The three women next to him gathered together to cool down, teasing Master Li, who was full of saliva. When there were bursts of laughter, he did not forget to glance at Li Mo, as if he was laughing at him pretending to be serious.

"Your Majesty, you can go down if you want. We won't laugh at you." Duan Yueer straightened her big belly, brought a pot of fruit and put it aside, deliberately staring at Li Mo, who was drooling.

"Stop!" The emperor took away Master Li's interest and frowned quickly and said, "Didn't you say that? Don't call me that. It's uncomfortable to hear.

Yue'er covered her mouth and smiled, white and said, "This is the rule!"

"Rules." Master Li smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth. Only when he became the emperor did he know that the emperor's life was not very interesting. If he could choose, he would be willing to live here forever, accompany several women to have fun in the water, and ignore the disputes outside.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. I've been involved in it, and I can't extricate myself, so I stared at Yueer's more and more amazing chest after pregnancy, and smiled, "Well, I'll give you the imperial edict. In the future, you are not allowed to call me emperor when there are no outsiders, or follow the original name, otherwise." Master Li shamelessly pinched his buttocks: "The family law serves."

"Dead!" Yue'er's eyes were winking, and she looked at Li Mo anrily. Then she turned back to the side, and then there was a burst of laughter.

Li Mo likes this atmosphere. If the emperors in history are the same as the rules in his family, I'm afraid he won't be happy in his life, but this is also outside. After returning to Xinhua Garden, the four women will still abide by some rules and dare not laugh so much.

"It's really not a pleasure to be an emperor." Young Master Li sighed from the bottom of his heart.

A few days have passed since the plane's first flight. When he was worried about landing, there was no problem. The laboratory has prepared to build several more aircraft for experiments. As for putting them into use, there is no hope at least for a few years.

However, some basic disciplines have also been exposed because of the first flight, which must be done quickly, such as wind tunnels and ship-designed test pools.

Fluid mechanics is a discipline that gradually developed at the beginning of World War II. In this era, few people have this concept. Li Mo himself is also a thorough layman, but it is difficult. This is the advantage of crossing, which can clearly grasp the commanding heights of the future.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Master Li has an increasingly large academy of Sciences, and there is also an increasingly effective minister of science and technology. The advantage of Chang Lin is that he is particularly serious and persistent in doing things. In the vernacular, he is particularly sharp. Any tasks assigned by Li Mo must be done well at all costs. Such a person may engage in technology. Success, but lack of some innovation, but it is excellent to be the management assistant of your own academy.

In order not to let scientists from all over the world have nothing to do, and in order not to let everyone take detours, the Academy of Sciences is the most strictly controlled institution controlled by Master Li, and it is also a department that he is fully responsible for.

But compared with technology, there is another thing that bothers him more.

According to the telegram just received, Jinan City has been surrounded, and the whole Shandong is in the hands of waiting. The two battalions of the forwards of the Fifth Division have landed in Dengzhou Bay, and the follow-up troops are also protecting them and moving north. Relying on the confrontation outside Shanghai, the great powers who have been diverted their eyes have not reacted at all. Before coming, Dengzhou Bay had been controlled. Now there are four battleships and the second largest team of newly formed submarines. Unless Felitman dares to invest all the main forces, he can only watch Jiangsu being taken down little by little!

Jiangsu, Shanxi!

It is a place in the north second only to Zhili. Shanxi is rich because it is the birthplace of Jin merchants. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Jin merchants were undoubtedly the richest group in the country, while Jiangsu is the most important granary in the country because of its fertile land.

This is one of the few treasures in the north. Li Mo is never willing to give up. Although there is an agreement, Jiangsu is located on the coast of the Yangtze River. No one is sure whether Britain, the United States, the United States and France will interfere, so he must create a fait accompli as soon as possible.

Unifying the north is the first strategy. This step is slowly being realized with the rapid response and combat ability promoted since the beginning of the founding of the army. Although he really wants to take the south in one go, Li Mo knows well that if he really moves his army south at this moment, the scene of the Eight-Nation Alliance fighting the young master, I'm afraid it will really happen.

I have to put up with it again.

At present, the most important thing is to consolidate and digest the northern provinces into the political axe system as soon as possible.

But how to integrate into this system is a headache for everyone. What is more troublesome than this is how to implement reforms.

These days, there is a great difference between Guannei and Guanwai. The reason why the new policy can be successfully implemented in the three provinces of Luzon and Guanwai is that Luzon is alone in the sea. After the elite generation was basically killed by the Spanish, the locals had doubts about the armed revolution, especially the more courage to resist the more powerful New Chinese army.

Strong force has ensured the implementation of the New Deal, coupled with 100 million yuan of infrastructure investment and the introduction of incentives for planting, which basically eliminates the unemployed, accelerates industrial replacement internally, reduces unemployment rates, opens a large number of light industrial factories and other means, and combines external strict lockdown policies to make most people extremely The idea of participating in the dangerous armed revolution.

And the three northeastern provinces are also because of this. With vast land, rich resources and a large amount of investment, the three provinces, which are already sparsely populated, have given the soil for the rapid implementation of the new policy. The ordinary people who have gained benefits have also responded from bystanders to positive response, and the implementation of the new policy has been very quickly.

But it is complicated to apply it to the customs. First of all, the biggest problem in front of us is the land!

On TV, the strict big family system at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was not a joke. A large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of these landlords and gentry, surrounded by them. They were just some landless tenants and long-term workers. With the reproduction of generations, they formed a small town around one or several large landowners. They were in the town. The right and prestige above are equal to the local emperor!

Li Mo is very clear that the deep reason for any dynasty change is almost related to the land. Why did the dynasties flourish in the past, but not in the later stage?

Most of the reasons are also land!

The founding of the People's Republic of China was often accompanied by a long-term war, which led to a sharp decline in the population and the release of land resources. There was no shortage. In the later period, the population soared and the land began to be tight. In addition, with the concentration of wealth to a small number of people, the land also appeared the same trend. More and more land was concentrated in the hands of landlords and gentry. .

Ordinary people without land can only cling to them and live around these people. In addition to the utilization rate of land at this moment, the output of grain is very low. Farming basically depends on the sky. Therefore, once there is a major disaster, it is often thousands of miles away from the land, plus a Yellow River in the north, which will be generated every year. Tens of thousands of people!

In the case of not having enough to eat and wear warm clothes, these people have become the cause of vivid chaos.

Compared with the sparsely populated three provinces of Guanwai, Guannei is densely populated, leaving 400 million people in the Qing Dynasty, which is the most populous dynasty in Chinese history, which also leads to the extreme tension of the land in Guannei!

For example, Shandong and Henan are both populous provinces, and 70% to 80% of the land resources are concentrated in the hands of landlords. Therefore, land reform has become the biggest stumbling block at the door of government affairs!

The cabinet led by Li Enfu has two opinions. One is to use administrative means to forcibly buy the landlord's land and share it to ordinary people, and the other is to simply let the soldiers go door to door and arrest them directly if they don't like it!

Both methods have supporters, but they are not the best means. It is similar to the land reform action under the barrel of a gun in later generations. Li Mo doesn't like it very much. Landlords and gentry are indeed hateful, but few people will notice that they are the first group of people in this country to be educated because of money and wealth. Almost all these days The intellectuals are all landlords and gentry. If you forcibly take other people's land, it is equivalent to digging up the roots of your country!

After all, educating a generation or even several generations requires decades of accumulation and a lot of money. You push these intellectuals to the opposite side and govern the country with the mud legs that have just known a few words?

Just kidding!

Although according to the newly announced constitution, Li Mo, as the emperor, does not interfere in internal affairs, any bill of the political axe will be submitted to the parliament for review, and finally passed and then signed by the emperor for implementation, but his vision has been recognized by everyone, so this new land reform bill has been submitted to him.

Moreover, the country is in its infancy, and the candidate for the speaker has come out. The parliament is just a shelf, and it is beneficial to let the political axe implement the words of the family in a short period of time. After all, there can be no quarrel between the parliament and the political axe at this time. We must concentrate on development and construction and solve the problem of existence first.

In addition to this land reform bill, another headache is the political axe framework. In the past, I was the grass king in Honolulu and Ryukyu, thinking about how to have a large base as soon as possible. Now there is a large base, and there are many. There are 800,000 square kilometers in the three northeastern provinces alone, plus Ryukyu, almost one million.

When Shandong, Zhili, Shanxi, Henan and the whole north are included, almost two or three million, which does not include the more distant northwest provinces, with a population of nearly 200 million, and the ethnic composition is even more complex!

How to manage it well and make it acceptable to everyone is a big problem!

The only thing I have to be grateful for is that the almost blank drawing paper left by the Qing Dynasty can be completed according to my own ideas. In addition to the strength of the political axe and the army, it can even be implemented by force!

Governing a big country is like cooking fresh food. This is not bad at all. It's impossible to finish all the drawings in one night!

Li Mo got up and walked to the window sill, looked up at the bright night sky, and took a deep breath. At this time, he found that he and this country had just been on their way.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late." In her mind, Luo Sanniang came to her side with a bath towel in her arms, and several other women disappeared early.

"Woo-woo, the young master is the emperor. Why haven't you had a chance to sleep with him?"

Master Li smiled evilly, got up and hugged San Niang's slender waist, kissed the fragrance on her body, and said with a bad smile, "I just issued an imperial edict. Who dares to call me emperor again, family law to serve!"

"Home law?" Luo Sanniang's beautiful eyes blinked, and she didn't know what she thought of. Her body was suddenly picked up, and a red glow suddenly rose on her cheeks.
