While Burlison is facing difficulties, other people are also depressed. In life, dissatisfaction seems to be the main theme, and those satisfying things rarely happen in fact.
In the Arrant region of the Eilanhir Empire, a farmer was waving his hands and shaking his head at an administrative official who came to talk to him, and gave a non-negotiable answer: "This is impossible!"
Yes, this is impossible. Although Ireland hopes to solve many problems through land exchange, including the gap between rich and poor, including the increasingly serious problem of land annexation, etc., there are very few people who are actually willing to follow the arrangement.
.
Loveland Hill's territory has expanded countless times, but its population has also increased countless times. The war has left a lot of land vacant, and Loveland Hill's series of policies to benefit the people have quickly transformed these idle lands.
were distributed to farmers in the country.
In order to maintain the high level of war benefits, the economy of Ellandhill is highly dependent on foreign wars. The people did not have large-scale resistance due to successive years of war. The main reason is that everyone benefited from the war.
Soldiers who joined the army were awarded land after victory, and these land subsidies were given to the families of the soldiers who were working at home, allowing these family members to live a prosperous life.
At the same time, the war spawned a large number of industrial manufacturing factories, which provided sufficient weapons and ammunition for the national war machine. These factories also provided a large number of jobs internally, which also housed many employed people. Computers
end::/
With the support of the wartime economic system, there was almost no excess production of weapons and ammunition in Ireland. The excess production of weapons and ammunition would be immediately consumed, and the profits generated in turn indirectly improved the quality of life of the workers.
However, as the war continues to expand, the benefits of the war continue to increase. The land subsidies for soldiers joining the army are beginning to be insufficient. : :
Although farmers who control a large amount of land will not starve to death because of such a trivial matter, their enthusiasm for supporting the war will plummet.
At the same time, there is no way to allocate land to soldiers who actively join the army or have made meritorious service on the front line in accordance with the old law, which will also put the empire's finances in a passive position.
Because farmers in many core areas cannot obtain adjacent land, they can only rely on the imperial government to use gold coins for subsidies. Land in these places is becoming more and more expensive, and subsidies are costing more and more. Farmers who are watching the increase in land prices are also worried.
Becoming less and less willing to ask for subsidized gold coins.
According to farmers' simple thinking, land is constantly appreciating, but gold coins obviously cannot appreciate, so gold coins are not cost-effective.
Spending more and more gold coins to compensate farmers has also put a heavy financial burden on the government of Elland Hill.
The method that Chris, Des and others are promoting is to replace farmers' land in core areas with more land in remote areas.
By the way, these farmers can be moved to more remote places to support the economic development of those backward areas.
However, this kind of thing that makes people leave their hometowns is obviously not very popular among people. There are very few people who voluntarily migrate. Most people are unable to leave their hometowns and are not willing to ask for more land.
"You only have 20 acres of land here, sir... If you are willing to move to the lower reaches of the Rudono River, the government will compensate you for 110 acres. Sir, more than five times the area, as well as relocation compensation, is quite a lot...
"The officials were sincere and offered not bad terms.
"Forget it, I'm getting old and don't want to move my place so far away. You can ask old Peter next door. He might be willing to go down the Ludono River." The old man obviously didn't want to.
He was so grateful that he pointed to the neighbor's house in the distance and refused.
"You can think about it again. There is also construction over there, and the price of land will rise soon. The 110 acres of land subsidized to you are fertile and fertile farmland." The officials who came to persuade did not want to give up. After all, he said these two
Tian but no one persuaded him to leave.
"I'm not short of money, kid. Have you seen this medal? This is my son's military exploits. According to the law, the empire still owes me 5 acres of fertile land!" The old man sneered and pointed to the medal hanging on his chest.
He said with pride the bronze eagle badge on his front.
"Damn it, why don't you let the farmers on the Doson side move away first? Let them go to Ludono and give up the land in Doson. Maybe there are still people who are willing to go." The officials also knew that they had failed again. There were people in these families.
He couldn't afford to offend any of the old guys in the army, so he could only kick the field ridge under his feet bitterly and lead his assistant to the road beside the field.
"Sooner or later, these idiots who don't understand anything will drag down the empire and collapse because of their selfishness!" The official stepped onto the roadbed, looked at the wet mud-covered leather shoes under his feet, and couldn't help but curse.
.
On the road, a Mansgar People's Car whizzed past, and the older model gave people a nostalgic sense of vicissitudes of life.
There are still many classic cars with this water-drop streamline shape, but the appearance of most cars already looks more modern.
Nowadays, there is no trace of war in the Yalant region. The people here have enjoyed a happy life for more than four years, and their lives have never been so prosperous.
Just look at the ever-changing city of Atlantis less than a hundred kilometers away, and look at the skyscrapers rising from the ground, and you will know how powerful the Elanthir Empire is.
But no one knows how long this kind of gunfire will last, and no one knows when this sweet dream will wake up.
Therefore, everyone is worried about moving away from their hometowns. They are worried that places that seem safe now may become the front lines of war in the future.
This kind of large-scale migration is not an easy thing. What he experienced here is just a small microcosm of the huge plan of population migration in the entire empire.
People in many areas are being ordered to migrate to other areas. No one knows how many families are laughing and how many are crying along the way.
Because of the help of the elves, most areas of Ellandhill achieved a bumper harvest this year. Except for some barren places in the southern region where no one sows, most areas can achieve self-sufficiency.
There is no answer to the merits or demerits of this last thing. But now everyone is beginning to be dissatisfied. After all, many interest groups have not received decent benefits for a long time.
Regrettably, fighting for benefits for the group they represent is something everyone is willing to do.
