Chapter 422 The Emperor of America is getting more and more divine! The position is getting more and more stable!
Because of a letter from the emperor, a big hairy bear was brought up.
What Zhou Zili said to Yang Guangren was that he wanted to find Tsarist Russia to help. Just this matter, you really want to say it. Zhou Zili can think of it.
However, this trick is very powerful!
Tsarist Russia, of course, was also gaining various benefits from the Qing Dynasty, and now it has reached its hands into Mongolia. In addition, Tsarist Russia still wants to get a real estuary. Now if Taiwan is placed in front of Tsarist Russia, the meaning seems to be similar to the estuary.
In other words, there are enough interests here to seduce Tsarist Russia, then...
This inevitably requires some exchange of interests, but Zhou Zili has already thought about how to implement it, and even Yang Guangren has almost thought about it.
Outer Mongolia, give it to it!
Don’t you Tsarist Russia want it? Are you urging those Menggu princes to make independence? I, Yang Guangren, can agree!
Yes, if I, Yang Guangren, win the world in the future, then our world will be the Han people. Where is that place? Then to the north, it was not the residence of our Han people, and there was nothing important...
As for other things, the treasure island has been defeated, so everyone can sit down and talk. Just have a part of our Faxing Party... Besides, if it can be defeated, then the Faxing Party is called regaining the country!
Don’t look at it, this has attracted the Russians, but it definitely has the contribution of the Baath Party.
It can be said that this series of bargaining chips can be discussed. And for Yang Guangren, it would definitely make a fortune!
He has nothing himself. What Yang Guangren has now is just that he wants to make trouble. He wants to drive out the Tartars and restore China. Their Baaking Party are all Chinese and can serve as internal support on Baodao. Our Baaking Party also has thousands of guns...
Of course, will Tsarist Russia come and whether everyone can really cooperate. This matter is not easy to talk about, but I think there are always some talks about profitable transactions?
Li Mengyang never expected that a letter from him would force Yang Guangren to the Tsarist Russia. This was simply too surprising.
Of course, as the emperor of the empire, Li Mengyang was definitely busy with official business. On the one hand, he had to focus on economic construction, and on the other hand, he had to focus on legal construction, because there were too many things, especially new things. Then let’s have new legislation.
Besides, although the American Empire is a lot of construction and a lot of investment, the overall situation is very good, but there are also many problems, and construction is naturally accompanied by various chaos.
For example, if you want to build the land, you have to expropriate the land. This involves an ownership issue.
Although many rich people had run away before, they could just nationalize a lot of land, but there was still a lot of private land left in the United States before, and Li Mengyang's empire came, but they didn't have much solution to this problem.
If you want to fight the local tyrants and share the land, this thing itself does not meet the conditions... Although this thing is what Li Mengyang is most familiar with and wants to do the most, since he is familiar with it, he naturally knows it very well that the United States cannot reach that part at all.
It was inevitable that we could do this on the land of China back then, because the land problem was too big at that time. Let’s put it this way, as far as the data Li Mengyang studied, not only the people complained, but also the landlords felt that this was wrong. Many landlords supported land reform, not forced, but from the heart, because they also knew that if they continued like that, they would die in the end.
This large area of America is still in a state of few people and more land. How many people are there in total?
Just before, Li Mengyang emphasized that our empire needs to do some statistical data, such as the overall economic data... Yes, GDP is here. Then there are other, important ones, such as population.
Now there is less than 40 million people on the land under the jurisdiction of the empire!
If you count it this way, if you dig out the 6 million people in Mexico, then the original United States was 40 million. In other words, the United States trapped in the central United States now has 5 to 6 million people. In other words, a large area of land in the east, including places like New Mexico and Texas, can only contain 30 million people at most!
There are 30 million people, and there are so many people in the capital in later generations. Therefore, the current land base is really too large. Naturally, you can't beat the local tyrants and share the land. There is no need to fight, there is some land.
So Li Mengyang did not rush to take action, and could only turn the unowned land into state-owned to the greatest extent, and then collect taxes on those who owned private land.
2%, property tax!
This method is learned from the future generations of the United States, this is what... Just say that many gzjy fooled people in later generations, they just said that houses in the United States are cheap, and that may be the price of the lower price. However, in terms of property tax, many states in the United States had a 3% property tax. You can calculate it. In thirty-three years, you are equivalent to buying this house again. How could this be cheap?
That’s right, this is the reason. You don’t own it privately, so pay taxes!
Therefore, even if you own land privately, it is actually similar to the public private property rights, but this is a tax increase.
Yes, tax increases are obviously aimed at the rich, so this matter is not easy to deal with. Let’s put it this way, as long as it is in the United States, you can collect more taxes to the people, but there is no way to collect more taxes to the rich!
Regarding the previous tax increases on the rich by the United States of America, its related policies actually leave a backdoor...
But Li Mengyang really wants to attack the rich, so this matter is naturally very controversial.
There is chaos in land acquisition and taxes are added, which can be said to be even more chaotic!
On the surface, it seems that it is constantly building, but some forced demolitions, and abuse and attacks. There are really many things, but it's...
"His Majesty the Great Emperor! His instructions are extremely wise! We absolutely need the right to support us!"
"Bah! Rich people! Your Majesty is standing with us poor people!"
"Your Majesty is really the hero of the heavenly general! What kind of philosophical king? That's not worthy of carrying shoes for Your Majesty!"
This is not an imperial propaganda article like the Washington Post. It is all articles from ordinary private newspapers, so the title is so down-to-earth.
What about the new culture movement...
To put it bluntly, it is because Li Mengyang's prestige was too high at this time. Comrade Guo Moruo of America was before. Oh, it was Comrade Mark Twain. The high hat he wore for Li Mengyang, the king of philosophy, by the way, it is an existence beyond the king of philosophy. Now, this has been accepted by the people of the American Empire!
You, Clint, Meng Yang, Li Yi, you are the king who surpasses the king of philosophy!
You are the king who surpasses all kings!
Everyone said this now, and the religion of the empire, that is, the religious remnants of the former United States, also jumped out!
"Your Majesty is Michael!"
"Your Majesty is the king of the Kingdom of God!"
"No! It's obviously the God King of the Kingdom of God!"
Anyway, it depends on who is helping to brag so well.
Alas~There are many sects in the United States, although most of them are Protestantism, such as Baptist Church, Episcopal Church, etc. Anyway, let's see who can find the words, the more mysterious it is, the better.
When Li Mengyang saw this, he really had no idea. He could only refuse to deny it, but he didn't agree. He was not a believer.
The reason for doing this is to take care of religious forces on one hand, which will be invincible for a while, and on the other hand, it is that this is good for his personal prestige.
To be honest, the phenomenon of personality worship is really serious now, but it is difficult for him to deal with this phenomenon. Li Mengyang is actually using this personality worship.
He is a Chinese!
If a Chinese is an emperor for Americans and doesn’t do anything myths or legends, then is that a good thing?
But no matter what, this can cover up problems such as forced demolition, well, it's pretty good...
Others, such as the remnants of the United States, are still in surviving. Although they have been surrounded by death, the United States is a place with a large land and sparse population. Although the economic situation there is very bad, after all, agricultural products are in supply. The early futures trading market was in Chicago, which means there was no particularly serious crisis. It is still alive!
Let them stand up for the time being. Anyway, that's the case, so we don't have to worry. This is the case in the empire, and abroad, that's also very interesting.
The title of "Beyond the King of Philosophy" is already on Li Mengyang's head. There are jokes, ironies, and praises in Europe. Obviously, those who praise either want to run to the New World, or businessmen from the New World to Europe.
If you run to the New World, then you won’t talk about him. Many of the businessmen who talked about the emperor have watched that very exciting "performance".
Yes, it is the symphony created by His Majesty the Emperor, combined with the fantasy lighting interpretation. In fact, this lighting is spoken by Li Mengyang. This will be a must-have program in a planetarium in the future.
But, however, this performance at this time is really awesome!
So, when a man saw the highway of the American Empire, the new railway, the dense telegram cables, the tall buildings that rose from the ground, and such wonderful and creative performances... It was simply normal to say a few good words for the emperor.
Of course, even these good words will not help Li Mengyang’s image in Europe. He should be hacked, but one thing is coming, and that is the World Expo in Vienna!
Yes!
Li Mengyang had previously agreed to the invitation of Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I. He was going to the World Expo, and it could be regarded as a state visit, which was quite good.
Then, it seems that the scholars of the European emperors who are dark all the time, will have a chance to get close to the blackmail?!
Li Mengyang also heard that those guys who scolded the Empire and themselves seemed to be sharpening their knives at this time, so they were ready to do a big fight. Moreover, this was the World Expo held in Vienna, and you can also scold Joseph I. It would be so satisfying to scold the two emperors together!
Therefore, on May 1, 1873, the day when the Vienna World Expo opened, many people probably looked forward to it... (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
