After starting to divide the fields, An Ning immediately discovered a fatal weakness: there were not enough secretaries.
For more than a year, An Ning has been teaching the non-commissioned officers recommended by the Soldier Committee to read. However, this kind of quick teaching can only enable the non-commissioned officers to understand the orders, which is not enough to deal with the large amount of paperwork when allocating land.
The lack of talent caused the progress of land distribution to be very slow.
But the news about the land allocation has spread, and as a result, farmers have traveled thousands of miles to Konta to find out when their homes will be allocated.
The lack of talents also limited the development of plans after An Ning. He originally wanted to establish an agricultural cooperative bank to provide farmers with loans to buy seeds and so on. He basically followed the practices of a certain sect in his memory.
Then An Ning discovered that a certain sect could do this because they had a large group of progressive young people with revolutionary enthusiasm and knowledge.
There is no peace!
In fact, the literacy rate in France today is not bad, mainly because of the church's Sunday schools. However, if there are intellectuals who are knowledgeable enough to be used as cadres, then unfortunately they are only small bourgeois in the city.
Many young bourgeoisie are opposed to An Ning's land distribution plan because it involves private property. They are worried about when An Ning will attack them again.
The only people who support An Ning's approach are old farmers and An Ning's fans.
After worrying for a long time, An Ning suddenly discovered that there was a group of people who had knowledge and supported his approach: those old aristocrats.
They were deprived of their family property by the revolution, and many of them had their property directly confiscated by big businessmen in the city, and now they are happy to let them spit out what they have eaten.
Anyway, if I can’t get it, you can’t get it either.
So in the countryside of Konta, a strange scene happened: a group of old nobles were allocating fields to their former serfs.
Ever since he started to divide the fields, An Ning couldn't be carefree. There were so many things waiting for him to make decisions every day.
After a long absence, An Ning regained the feeling of being a social animal before time travel.
An Ning couldn't help but think of those early historical time-travel novels, such as Angel Oscar's works. The time-travelers in them were all tireless workaholics who wanted to do something great.
An Ning was still a college student when she read these novels. She was deeply moved at the time and imagined what she would be like if she returned to ancient times.
But now the social animal An Ning just wants to be ruined.
Lao Shizi's land reform, give me back my leisurely time-traveling life!
The only good thing is that now there are no nagging bosses and project managers who have suffered thousands of blows chanting sutras in my ears, and the level of busyness is not as excessive as it was in 1996.
At noon that day, An Ning had just met a group of old farmers who came to volunteer. This group of old farmers actually came from outside Kongta's jurisdiction. They were all eager for An Ning to divide the fields. No matter how he explained to them that it was not An Ning's jurisdiction, they refused to listen, as if An Ning
You can travel freely in France and take care of whatever you want.
After finally coaxing these people away, Beethoven came.
As soon as Beethoven entered An Ning's study, he said enthusiastically: "I wrote a new musical short! It is to praise your pioneering work of dividing the land! I want to go to Paris and organize a troupe to start performing it!"
Upon hearing this, An Ning shook her head: "No, the gentlemen in Paris won't like my move to divide the fields."
As she spoke, An Ning took out a letter and pushed it in front of Beethoven: "Look, it was written to me by my friends in Paris. Those guys who bought the land with my thumb coupons went to Paris.
Let’s file a complaint, because most of my friends are not in the parliament now, so they have successfully obtained the majority of support, and it is estimated that the special envoy from the parliament will arrive soon.”
In 1791, the constitution of the constitutional monarchy was completed and promulgated, so the Constituent Assembly ended its tasks.
Robespierre proposed a motion that, in order to ensure the impartiality and independence of parliament, members of the Constituent Assembly should not participate in the election of the next parliament, and this proposal was passed.
So in the newly elected National Assembly, only one of An Ning's friends, Marat, was a member.
The strength of the Montagnards in the new Parliament was greatly weakened, and a large number of Girondins were elected to the new Parliament.
They mainly represent the big bourgeoisie and bankers.
To expect them to support An Ning's approach is simply fanciful.
So An Ning still has to deal with the parliament.
An Ning explained all this to Beethoven, and Le Sheng couldn't help but frown: "Don't they realize that the current chaos in the country is because the land is not divided?"
An Ning: "Do you think our Queen will realize that the people are revolting because they don't have enough to eat?"
Beethoven shrugged: "I have met the Queen once, I think...she probably doesn't realize it."
An Ning smiled bitterly.
Beethoven: "Maybe through my drama, the gentlemen in Paris can understand..."
"Don't waste your efforts. The way I see it, don't write any musicals that require a stage. Write something that can be sung by two or three people on the roadside. There won't be any performances. Just use the lyrics to tell stories and tell stories.
Some stories that old farmers love to hear.
"For example, there is a girl who had to hide in the mountains and old forests because of the oppression of the noble lord, and her hair turned white. Now the revolution has overthrown the landlord - I mean, the noble lord has changed the world, and his family is still there.
Once we have been allocated a field, we can reunite happily!"
Beethoven: "Is this a true story?"
"I'm just giving an example. I believe that as long as you interview and ask old farmers who come to drink in pubs, there must be many such stories. Your task is to discover them and then compile them into stories that can be performed on a simple stage.
Everyone, watch the skit!
"Music must serve the people and the revolutionary struggle!"
Beethoven was greatly inspired: "It makes sense, you have to walk out of the theater!"
An Ning: "You can even go to the field allotment offices in various places and show it directly to the old farmers who come to allocate their fields."
"Okay, I'll go right away. Then, I'll leave first!" Beethoven said goodbye to An Ning happily, turned around and left.
An Ning let out a long breath, then took back the letter he had just pushed to Beethoven and read the contents.
The letter was written by Robespierre: "Several gentlemen from Conta have accused you in parliament of robbing them and violating the basic principle of the inviolability of private property in the constitution. The commissioner of the parliament will arrive in Conta soon.
Tower, you better be ready."
An Ning curled her lips.
Although he didn't think he could fool him by using a detour with his fingers, the interference from the parliament came too quickly.
Sure enough, if we advance the process ahead of schedule, will we encounter huge resistance?
In real history, France began to allocate land to farmers in a gradual process. First, the Girondins reformed the land policy, which slightly alleviated the land problem. However, the Girondins' decree encountered strong resistance from landowners, making it difficult to implement it.
Later, the Jacobins came to power and chopped off a lot of heads, and then successfully implemented the system of replacing redemption with land rent. Farmers first owned the land, and then used the land rent to pay off their debts within ten years.
At this point, France's land problem was basically solved, and subsequent economic development took place. The whole process lasted six years.
It would be better for An Ning to achieve the goal in one step and directly divide the land among the local tyrants, which will inevitably encounter strong opposition.
If it is not handled properly, it is very likely that there will be a war with Lafayette's National Guard.
