"We understand that you're freeing the farmers from their fields and letting them work in the workshops to speed up the human race's accumulation of technology. However, no matter how gentle your methods are, it will definitely cause unrest. Other than Jingguo, no other country will cooperate with you. I would like to hear your specific plan, "said Xiang Liyuan.
Fang Yun nodded and said, "I already have a draft. The first step is naturally to upgrade the farming tools. Elders of the Hall of Works, has the previous agreement been implemented? "
Fang Yun looked at the elder of the Hall of Works.
Xiang Liyuan smiled and said, "According to the blueprints and technology you provided, we have already created all kinds of new farming tools. To prove the sincerity of the Hall of Works, all the farming tools will be personally produced by the great scholars of the Gong family. The quantity is enough for the entire Jingguo to use. "
Fang Yun looked at the great scholars of the Hall of Works and asked, "Has the Hall of Works prepared the armored bulls I need?"
"We've already used the sacred treasure of the School of Works to nurture them. Many of the armored bulls are still young, but they can work normally. It's enough to supply the entire Jingguo. Of course, this is all thanks to your previous support and accumulation of technology. It allowed us to use the Bloodlight World to achieve many achievements in farming. "
Fang Yun nodded and looked at everyone. He said, "I've asked the Hall of Works to create a large batch of new farming tools. I've also asked the Hall of Works to use the sacred treasure of the School of Works to speed up the production of armored bulls. Next, I hope that the Hall of Works will step forward and use the entire Jingguo as a pilot project to popularize these new farming tools and armored bulls. This way, we'll be able to save half of our manpower this year. In the next three years, the number of farmers needed in Jingguo will continue to decrease. According to normal estimates, it will be one-third of the previous number. Due to the accelerated production of armored bulls, the Hall of Works can only be used for five years. However, these five years are enough for the Bloodlight World to produce the armored bulls needed in five years. "
"Since we have a large number of farming tools and armored bulls, what's the next step?" asked Xiang Liyuan.
Fang Yundao said, "After that, we'll need to expropriate land. There are two steps to expropriate land. For the first step, we need to rely on the Legalists. My specific measures are … "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the great Confucians present. Then, someone objected.
Fang Yun explained patiently. He also said that all the elders in the Punishment Hall had agreed to this. In fact, there were even people in the Punishment Hall who had wanted to do this for a long time.
After a long debate, the three Grand Elders finally reached an agreement.
"Secondly, we will not slander and attack the farmers. Instead, we will promote the benefits of the workshop. Of course, the prerequisite is that the Workshop Hall will step in and do a good job in building the workshop so that other countries will not boycott Jingguo's products. As long as the workshop could really make money, the farmers would naturally want to become workers. "After that, we will need to forcefully acquire land and force some people to move from villages and towns to cities. Of course, we will compensate them with housing and money. At the same time, we will train them so that they can work in the workshops. This is a process that seems simple but is actually very complicated. In this process, the interests of those farmers will inevitably be sacrificed, but many years later, they will feel lucky compared to those farmers who didn't leave. "
"The social problems caused by land acquisition are very big. Therefore, the Punishment Hall and Jingguo's judicial office must step in and improve the welfare system for the workshop workers. Not long after, farmers will protest in various parts of Jingguo. There will definitely be suicides and attacks on the government offices. I know that I can't avoid this. Therefore, I will bear all the responsibility. I will also bear the blame for the future generations! "
The Workshop Hall fell into a short silence. Xiang Liyuan continued, "The farmers will become workers. The workshops will start production. Moreover, the various countries will allow you to sell goods. With the current transportation capacity, the cost will be very high."
Fang Yun said helplessly, "In the beginning, I will let Niu Shan, who has already become a great demon king, bring the Heaven and Earth Shell borrowed from the Dragon Palace to transport goods."
The great Confucians did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Xiang Liyuan joked, "This new technology is too powerful. Even after hundreds or thousands of years, the human race will not be able to transport such a large amount of goods so quickly."
Fang Yundao said, "There is a limit to the advancement of technology. With the current technology of the human race, even after a hundred years, the cost and transportation capacity of land transportation will be very limited. Therefore, the transportation of goods in Jingguo can only rely on water transportation. I will use the identity of Wen Xing Long Jue to conscript all the water demons in the Saint Origin World. I will also borrow some sea tribes from the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas to help the Notre-Dame build a perfect water transportation network. From then on, not only will the transportation problem in Jingguo be solved, it will also solve the transportation problem in the entire Saint Origin World. "
"This … Can you really do it?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I couldn't do it before. However, I obtained some things in the Saint Burial Valley, so I can definitely do it. Of course, no one can monopolize this water transportation network. The Notre-Dame, the royal families, the aristocratic families, and the sea tribes of the Four Seas all have a certain amount of shares. Moreover, I will ask the Notre-Dame to use the profits from the water transportation network to subsidize those who are forced to leave their land. "
Mo Shangtong said, "This is what we should do. The three palaces can guarantee that the profits from the water transportation network will not be misused. However, this water transportation network was created by you. If you don't want it … "
Fang Yun interrupted him and said, "I will not obtain any personal benefits from this reform. Moreover, I don't care about these small profits. "
Some people wanted to persuade Fang Yun to accept it, but they all gave up after thinking about it carefully. This was because Fang Yun owned the entire Ten Frigid Ancient Land and the Bloodlight World. He also had a large number of treasures from the Saint Burial Valley. The income from the water transportation network was insignificant compared to Fang Yun's net worth.
Xiang Liyuan said slowly, "Then let me ask you one last question. If Jingguo has a large number of … Yes, in your words, a large number of advanced workshops that can produce cheap goods, then how will the workers of the other countries be protected? How will the finances of the other countries be protected? "
The Workshop Hall became exceptionally quiet.
Fang Yun was silent for a while before he said, "Even without the help of the Notre-Dame, I can still build a workshop system independently and produce cheap goods. Even if the other countries join forces to oppose me, the profits will still attract the representatives of the other countries. They will help me sell the goods in the other countries. Therefore, the price is inevitable. To a certain extent, the races that are eliminated because they do not have the advanced technology are their own choices. "
Fang Yun said, "You can say that, but you can't say it like that. In reality, my goal is not only to make Jingguo rich and powerful, but also to accumulate technology in Jingguo. I want the entire human race to do it. Therefore, my plan is as follows. As long as our plan is successful in Jingguo, then we will promote it to the entire Saint Origin World. When the time comes, the Notre-Dame can arrange for the Jingguo workshops to cooperate with the other countries. The Jingguo workshops will provide the technology, and the other countries will provide the manpower, land, and funds. Not long after, under the drive of profits, the workshops and the craftsmen's technology will undergo a qualitative change. "
