Chapter 405： Gao Wen’s huge plan

Hert's question is in the high text, and he knows that in fact, Herti is also aware of the answer. This question was asked by someone else who replaced her.

“Everyone knows the power of Cecil,” Gao Wen looks around at everyone in the conference room, from the agricultural director Norris, to Hanmel, who is in charge of steel smelting, to the senior clerk in the Office of Administration. And other department heads, this familiar face is the witness and promoter of Cecil's growth to this day. "So each of us should also know that Cecil's strength is based on 'magic industrialization' On the basis of the advanced social system, it is based on an order different from the traditional aristocratic territory.

"Horseman and his 70,000 arrogant people have fallen apart. All the land aristocrats in the South are attached to Cecil, and there are only three kinds left. One kind has died in the artillery fire of the gravel ridge and the Baishui River. A prisoner of war camp is being held in the Hosman region and the banks of the White River. The last kind is on the road to exile. Its destruction is only a matter of time. So after these nobles and all their troops have disappeared, the entire South will leave four. With more than a dozen unguarded, unruly empty cities, Cecil will receive the land and rebuild the order on the land in the way of Cecil."

Gao Wen wants to establish a new order. Now he is on the key road to integrate the whole of the South. He must promote Cecil’s success to the entire South and make the South a strong, stable and holistic Principality instead of Let the more than forty divisions continue to operate in the same way as before. Otherwise, even if those people on the land are loyal to him, he will only change the entire southern environment to a noble team, and nothing has changed.

In any case, the roots and population of the traditional aristocratic system in the South must be changed from the roots. This war is the opportunity to change everything.

Gao Wen has considered two options.

The first option is to move all the population of the entire southern region to the Cecil region, and eventually form a large and densely populated area in the Baishuihe-Dark Mountain Range, and build a strong industrial empire on this basis. Give play to the power of the population in the industrial society, and let Cecil's magical industry develop to the next stage in the shortest time, but in the rough estimation of the population of the entire southern region, it also investigated the distribution of various resources in the south, urban geography. After the position, he gave up this simple and rude plan.

Because the entire southern population has millions of people (roughly estimated, it should actually be more), this number exceeds his expectations. This is because the existence of extraordinary power makes the world's food output relatively rich, and the physical quality of ordinary people is high, which also leads to a situation in which the population is still high even if the civilian life is difficult, even in Ansu. In the poor and backward south, the number of people is enough to make Gao Wen’s simple and rude first program abort.

Although Cecil has a relatively advanced social system and a rapidly developing magical industry, it is impossible to complete the migration, resettlement and transformation of a million-level population in a short period of time, even if the cycle of this plan is extended to three or five. In the year, the enormous resources and social pressures generated during this massive migration will also drag Cecil.

Not to mention that this plan is equivalent to giving up more than 80% of the land in the south in a short period of time. When the population is concentrated in the Baishui River-Dark Mountain Range, what about the resources in the other parts of the South and the farmland that has been opened? Without the resource output and the grain production area, the current development degree of Cecil is self-sufficient in the industrial structure that can't afford a million-level population.

Therefore, Gao Wen can only choose the second set of plans, that is, only to migrate the population of the southern region, let them establish new industrial belts in the north coast development area of ​​Cecil and the east and west sides, and concentrate on the population of other areas in the south. Through the establishment of the second-level administrative office, the construction of several new-level cities in other regions has been quite feasible due to the previous experience of forming a secondary government office in the Kant area.

In this way, Gao Wen can also ensure control over most of the southern region. Resources distributed throughout the South will be fully developed and continuously injected into the giant beast of the magic industry.

Of course, the pressure to face this is still great, but Gao Wen has a good reason to do so.

"Population migration, the establishment of a magical industrial system similar to Cecil, by the experienced Cecil executives to preside over the construction of a new order, to promote the development of the magical industrialization is only one of the purposes, another purpose is to destroy the old nobility The foundation on which the system depends."

Heti was stunned by Gao Wen and immediately understood the meaning of his ancestors: "Is it land and population?"

"Yes," Gao Wen nodded. "It is not enough to ban or kill this group of land aristocrats. As long as their land and population system is still there, sooner or later there will be new land aristocrats, so we must break. This system ensures that the old nobility will never come back."

The old aristocrats ensured the authority of the aristocracy by dividing the land, and the land system that existed with the sealed land tied the civilians firmly to those land. The civilians could not leave the land of the lord at will, or even cultivated. Anything, when Ansu was unsettled, this separation guaranteed the basic order of the entire country, but after the advent of the magical industry era, this situation of tying people to the land became a shackle.

With the current agricultural model established by Cecil to rely on large-scale industrial production of alchemicals and concentrated and efficient farming, a considerable number of agricultural populations can be transformed and transformed into industrial populations.

On the one hand, Gao Wen’s population migration is a necessary means to build a magical industry, because a sufficient population with basic labor freedom is a prerequisite for ensuring productivity, and on the other hand, it is to completely destroy the living soil of the old nobles in the south.

Of course, the cost of saving management is also one of the reasons. After all, Cecil’s administrative power is limited and the south is large. Gaowen’s establishment in other parts of the South is the same advanced management system as Cecil. The degree of management must change the current situation of such a sparsely populated and chaotic structure.

It is an effective plan to rationally concentrate the population, redistribute the land, and set up a more scientific and standardized town and village structure.

Not everyone can fully understand the complete theory of Gao Wen, but the people here have witnessed at least the process of the rise of Cecil, and witnessed how the new order on the territory came into effect and functioning. They understood the population. The need for migration has turned to focus on the specific difficulties that this ambitious plan faces.

Norris first raised the most realistic question: "What if farmers are not willing to leave their land?"

In this era, land is the shackles and tools used by the nobility to bind the people, but the sad thing is that most civilians do not understand and agree with this. On the contrary, they will agree that the peasants are unwilling to leave their land. It is almost an inevitable situation of any farming society. The liberated people are unwilling to accept your liberation. This is a problem that Gao Wen must face.

Even if one step back, there are not many specific ideas in this world, but it is bound to face enormous resistance to the forced move of so many people. Even in accordance with Gao Wen’s second plan, he just lets those People move to the nearest city, and civilians who will never leave the village for a lifetime will have great resistance.

Traditional aristocrats probably don't care about the people's resistance, but Cecil's rule is that Gao Wen, who can't do this, must also consider the social stability problem in population migration.

“First, the migration will be a long-term plan. I initially intend to complete it within three to five years, and this time can be extended,” Gao Wen explained. “So we can transfer the population in batches. You can use it. The experience of the establishment of the first was to migrate the serfs and slaves. More than 80% of the serfs and slaves were the property of the lords and knights. Now they have become the owners of the Lord, which is the easiest to migrate;

“Secondly, ensuring land supply can ensure that the displaced population has sufficient farmland to accept through land replacement, land reclamation, reclaiming old aristocratic land and redistribution, and ensuring that the entire South is not affected in the process. Agricultural Production;

"Finally, focusing on rewards and propaganda and guidance, this point of the Office of the Government and your clerk should have some experience. We are not trying to force civilians to leave their homes, but to prepare them for a better new home. Becoming a citizen of the city, getting the land given by the lord, and redistributing real estate to attract new people, so that they think that migration is an opportunity rather than a mandatory order, which will make everything go smoothly."

When Gao Wen finished, Norris nodded and nodded. As a person who was born into a farmer himself, he believed that the programs proposed by Gao Wen were enough to deal with the vast majority of the displaced population.

In fact, even without these programs, it is okay for the population migration plan to be enforced. The civilians of this era have surprising endurance to the command of the lord and various adversities. In many cases, the lord may only be in a good mood. Ordering to ban all the people in the territory from entering the mountain or ordering everyone not to go fishing in the river. If Gao Wen wants to force a population transfer, most of the civilians will only think that this is the new lord’s spurt and then bite his teeth. Arrange, after all, after this war, the Cecil family has in fact become the absolute authority of the South.

Only... Gao Wen is not willing to do this.

In the establishment stage of the Principality of Cecil, every stain produced by everything he did was compensated ten times or even a hundred times in a few years, and he could not even make up for it. understandable.

According to the existing experience, with the Druid Pharmacy produced by the Alchemy Factory, there is an agricultural learning meeting to let the farmers exchange their high-yield skills, and in conjunction with the advanced system, the grain output will be greatly improved, and the food production will be sufficient. Under the circumstances, a large number of free populations gathered can enter the factory, and an important part of the magical industrialization will be there.

Heti then raised another question: "The ancestor, the establishment of the secondary city hall still needs a lot of manpower, although the Office of Government Affairs has been fully cultivating various types of administrative staff, you can barely find enough of the various supervisors in the secondary government office. People, but we may have a big gap in the position of more basic clerk and clerk, and we have to solve the problem of appealing. Although Cecil defeated the coalition of more than forty nobles in the South, we have enough The power to receive the land of the nobles, but the administrative staff sent by them did not have enough appeal in the local area. If some military personnel were sent to control the order in the past, it is necessary to establish a unit like the second-level government office... local people are not necessarily Will cooperate."

Then Heti organized the language and added one more point: "And it is necessary to consider that some areas still have the residual loyalty of the old lords. Although the number may not be much, the damage has a great impact on the social order. ”

"There will definitely be remnant rebels. There will be troops in this area to guard and clean up," Gao Wen nodded. "The problem of appeal also exists, so I have let Byron and Philip first take the nobility and knights on the prisoner's camp." The captives were sent back first, and I will talk to those people, and after they 'cooperate', we can more easily recruit and train intellectuals from all over the country, and the gap in the manpower can be alleviated."

Gao Wen is destroying the old aristocratic system in the South, but as he realized before, whether he would like to admit it, most of the intellectuals and upper-level talents in this era are concentrated between the nobility and its vassals, to establish a new order. In particular, in order to establish a new order in a short period of time, he still has to find ways to borrow from these people.

Therefore, he wants to destroy the old aristocratic system, but he has to retain at least some of the nobles and their vassals who are willing to cooperate and are willing to accept the transformation, so that the resources they have mastered will come in handy.
