Chapter 948 Long-term plan

Now it has been confirmed that the North American War will give birth to two dukes, one is the Minister of the Navy, General He Fang. He was in charge of the rear and formulated a war plan. He made great contributions to completely defeating the US Navy. The Marshal of the Jin Navy was granted the title of first-class duke and was hereditary.

The other one is Li Shuanzhu Wushuan, the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Army, and the Marshal of the Jin Army, who was awarded the title of first-class duke and was hereditary.

The relevant ceremonies will be held after the war. Although there is no publicity now, the high-level officials of the empire have been rumored to be full of congratulations. The carriages and horses that went to the two marshals' houses to congratulate each other, which was extremely lively.

One of the two marshals hid in North America and the other ran to Manila. They did not accept any gifts delivered to their door, but only accepted prayers, and showed great rationality in the face of great glory.

With the scale of the North American war, the empire will surely have a large number of military nobles. These military nobles will all be enfeoffed in the Northern Federation, and 100,000 officers and soldiers will be retired and transferred to the Northern Federation on the spot, becoming farmers of all sizes.

These landlords, who were mainly engaged in North American soldiers, would be the core force of the empire's rule over North America. They would prosper together if they were prosperous, and they would die together if they died.

Soldiers who are unwilling to stay in the Northern Federation can also return to their homeland, and the meritorious fields will be paid in cash. As long as they are not kicked by donkeys in their heads, no one will choose this method...

Considering the long-term stability of the empire, Li Fushou deliberately supported a large number of military aristocrats mainly composed of small and medium-sized planters and farmers, as well as a small number of large aristocrats, forming a clear-level aristocrat group. It was supplemented by hundreds of thousands of retired soldiers with meritorious fields, thus forming a stable social structure.

All dynasties

The biggest contradiction in agricultural society is the land and population. People at the bottom have no tiles to shelter from wind and rain, and have no place to live, and only rebel after they can't live.

As long as the general public can live and work in peace, have homes, fields and houses, who will risk losing their heads and think about subverting the government all day long?

The Ocean Empire's "Meritorious Field System" has been implemented for a long time. It has proved that it is very conducive to the rapid stability of the occupied areas, the restoration of production, and the inspiration of the public to love the military and practice martial arts, and to build a stable social class that mainly engages in agriculture and animal husbandry. It is the basic foundation of the empire's conservative power.

Li Fushou was preparing to replicate this successful experience in the Northern Federation. The fields of merit awarded accounted for more than half of the arable fields, involving the vital interests of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers fighting in North America. It can be said to be a big reward.

The meritorious fields are not not paid taxes, but the implementation of the "19th lifetime preferential tax rate system", which means that the officers and soldiers who obtained the meritorious fields always enjoy a preferential tax rate of 10% during their lifetime.

After death, the children who inherit the land property need to change the property of the land and restore the original general tax on private land. The government stipulates that all those who should be paid must be paid. Transactions are allowed and transferable.

Basically, after a generation, the preferential meritorious land tax rate will disappear.

Some of the meritorious fields that were expanded in the early days of the empire have been gradually converted into civilian fields, achieving a smooth transition.

After the population growth reached 70 million, the Ocean Empire canceled most preferential policies for immigrants to grant land free of charge. After the new immigrants arrived, they were more likely to supplement the labor force in agricultural and urban industrial workers, services, construction or other industries, and started a new life.

The only place that still maintains preferential land grant policy is Madagascar, Africa.

It is precisely because of this policy that the island can maintain the introduction of tens of thousands of Chinese immigrants every year, get rid of the dilemma of a sharp decline in the population year by year, basically maintaining the level of 400,000 to 450,000, and slightly growing.

Due to natural aging or disease, the local indigenous population has decreased significantly at a rate of 30,000 to 40,000 people per year. The proportion of Chinese immigrants has increased rapidly and has become the mainstream ethnic group on the island, achieving a complete change in the population structure.

In the study room of Dongge

After seeing the envoys who went to Guangzhou to participate in the negotiations, they had left. The study room was restored to a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Li Fushou walked to the window with his hands on his back and walked proudly to the window. He looked at the flowers blooming outside the window, and felt so good.

The "Wool War" planned by him was first revealed and achieved greater success than expected. It can be said that the strategic layout was comprehensively improved, allowing the Ocean Empire to be in the best international strategic position before World War I, with obvious advantages.

This made Li Fushou let go of his biggest concern and focus his next development on digesting the fruits of this military victory.

The empire has more than 330 military bases located in six continents and four oceans, basically forming a military presence all over the world, becoming the third global colonial power after Britain and France, proudly entering the ranks of top international powers.

The strong military force protects economic development. The products of the Ocean Empire can enter the North and South American markets, Asian markets and European markets without any obstacles, promoting the overall prosperity of economic development and facing the best development situation in history.

It's almost done, it's time to stop.

Li Fushou secretly reminded himself in his heart that with the great success of military adventure, public opinion in both domestic and foreign areas is quietly changing, and the controller of the empire needs to have enough concentration to not get lost in great success.

There were many fanatical colonial expansionists in both military and political terms in the empire. They spoke out their propaganda through public opinion media and various channels, intending to fully occupy Argentina, Cuba, the east coast of North America, Alaska, and even the Great Lakes region of the United States' industrial complex, all of which were included in the empire's territory.

In a word, I want anything as if I am crazy, but I am not afraid of dying.

We should treat this kind of fanatical remark differently. People's remarks have an open and inclusive attitude and can appropriately control the orientation of public opinion media, without excessive suppression, after all, freedom of speech is free.

Severe measures should be taken to suppress the similar tendencies of military generals, and if necessary, punish a few of the people who jump the most and keep the high fever signs.

On the outside, especially in European and American countries, the public opinion direction is quietly changing. The "Yellow Peril Theory" vigorously promoted by German Emperor William II is pointing to Asian countries led by the Ocean Empire and Fuso, which is clearly recognized by some mainstream European public opinion.

There are more negative reports, more sensational fake news, and more reports of catching up on the wind and shadow. The views of the European powers led by Britain on the Ocean Empire are also quietly changing, becoming vigilant and guarded.

With the current strength of the Ocean Empire, of course, it is not afraid of confrontation, but there is no need to actively seek confrontation. The policy focuses on "active integration" and maintains a certain degree of independence.

The focus of diplomacy is also quietly changing, from mainly Britain and the Commonwealth to walking on two legs, one leg to maintaining traditional friendly relations with Britain, and the other leg is the Pacific Alliance.

The Pacific Alliance is the circle of friends developed by Li Fushou. In the future, he will focus on the Pacific Alliance, continuously strengthen the leadership role of the Ocean Empire, strengthen control and voice over the alliance, and operate it as a regional international organization and maintain its long-term existence.

Li Fushou carried his hands on his back and walked towards the harem with excitement.

The Daming Palace is a garden-style palace built among mountains and rivers. The harem is one step at a time and a nine-curved corridor, which highlights the unique ingenuity of the southern gardening, and has the solemnity and majesty of the northern royal garden.

Li Fushou wandered in it, not obsessed with the beauty of the mountains, rivers and flowers, and was thinking about the plan to stabilize the country.

For the Pacific Alliance established during the "Wool War", he has a complete set of long-term plans in his mind and is being implemented step by step.

First, a complete set of permanent institutions must be established.

On the banks of the beautiful Sydney Bay, a 22-story skyscraper is now rising. This will be the future permanent residence of the Pacific Alliance, where permanent representatives of various countries work, coordinate inter-national positions, handle inter-national disputes, make the voice of the Pacific Alliance in the international community, and discuss international livelihood issues of concern to Pacific countries.

Following this, the establishment of Pacific Bank, the International Court of Justice of Sydney, the Pacific Alliance Secretariat and various functional institutions, including culture and education, charity and medical care, etc.

Li Fushou not only wanted to develop the Pacific Alliance from a temporary military alliance to a long-term military alliance, but also greatly expanded its meaning, allowing it to cover all aspects of politics, economy, culture and education, and become a powerful regional international organization.

The Ocean Empire will play the role of the leader.

Using North America's post-war interest distribution as bait, more surrounding countries will be involved, thus expanding the influence of the Ocean Empire to North and South America and having its own truly solid backyard.

One hero has three helpers, and everyone has high fireworks!

To this end, the parliament has begun to discuss relevant proposals, strengthen economic ties with the Pacific Alliance countries, provide more economic tax incentives, financial assistance, strengthen industrial support, etc., and strive to integrate the Pacific Alliance countries into the economic circle of the Ocean Empire and strengthen further penetration and influence.

The military also began to count post-war materials, including a large amount of seized arms, retired ships, etc., so that allies can get some benefits.

The news of the establishment of the Pacific Alliance and the victory of the military also led to a significant expansion of the domestic financial industry with a keen sense of smell.

Major banking institutions have gone to North America, set up branches in various parts of South America to carry out cross-border banking business, with a wide range of countries including the Republic of California, the Northern Federation, the Republic of Texas, the Republic of Virginia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Cuba and other countries. The depth and breadth are still being further promoted.

Wherever I went, I was warmly welcomed.
