"Why don't you need to implement a cheap and fast land revolution, but instead buy land for waste of money and money?" This question is not only the root cause of the complaints of radicals, but also the doubts in the minds of some Catalan officers.

In this regard, in addition to the official opinions expressed publicly by Spelansky, Desai's own reply repeatedly emphasized that due to the different national conditions of Poland and Catalan, the methods, methods and means are also different.

In 1810, before Desai conquered Catalonia, the French army, which was fond of exporting revolutionary ideas and plundering wealth, had already ruthlessly swept away feudal lords in the region with bloody and brutal war means. Most landowners were either massacred during resistance or had to exile their families in another place. So they left enough and allocated large amount of land resources for the new rulers, and then benefited those farmers who had no land or little land.

Poland is different. Even after the demise of the country, it was annexed by Russia, Prussia and Austria for many years, but the Polish serf owners still occupied most of the land resources, and the old production relations still continued to this day, and the relationship between serfs and lords has not changed at all.

In 1807, after the founding of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, most of the Polish territory occupied by Prussia and Austria was forced to return and exchange it to Warsaw. In order to please his staunch allies, the conservative nobles of Poland, Napoleon handed over the land to the Warsaw Parliament for cheap treatment (but had to pay the war costs), which led to a wave of annexation of land by rural aristocrats in various parts of Poland.

The time traveler remembers it very clearly that on November 29, 1830, the real cause of the so-called "November Revolution" that broke out in Poland to resist Russian rule was that the traditional Polish aristocracy heard a news from St. Petersburg that Russian Tsar Nicholas I decided to implement a pilot reform to liberate the serfdom in Poland in order to calm the various dissatisfactions of the Russian Revolutionary Party...

In a word, the war on the Iberian Peninsula destroyed the superstructure and ruling foundation of the Catalonian region, allowing Desai to have sufficient resources to use to win people's hearts; while in Poland, the demise of the country and the occupation of foreign races failed to damage the production relations and land resources here, and the status of serfs and nobles in the political life of the country was as usual.

Therefore, when dealing with land issues, Desai always favored Spelansky's redemption policy. While resolutely suppressing the uncooperative country landlords and conservative aristocrats, he also used bloody means to oppose any form of violent revolution.

In addition, there is another more critical reason, that is, Desai himself, the Polish king, also the owner of a large land, and can be said to be the largest serf owner in Poland and even Europe. In the Danze Corridor alone, he owns more than 200,000 black workers who are like serfs. Supporting the so-called land revolution is simply a burning fire, and Desai will naturally not do stupid things.

If Desai was not a time traveler who knew the historical process; if he had no huge capital and steel industry to support it; if his serfs were just black people who had not cared about by white people, perhaps Desai's political stance would have supported the traditional aristocrats.

As for the redemption method of serf owners, the result of the discussion between Desai and Spelansky is that cash and debt rolls are combined, usually in a ratio of 3:7. This way, the use of reserve funds can be greatly reduced. Although Desai currently has an astonishing amount of circulating national wealth, the money must not only be used to redeem the land of the serf owners, but also to cope with long-term war funds, and the state must undertake the early investment of coal, steel, arms, and transportation.

In order to make the land owner actively accept the compensation for shares, Desai agreed that Spilansky would sell the wealthy copper ore iron ore bases, as well as the shares or bonds of factories that are or are about to generate economic benefits to rural nobles and serf owners at a discount. During this period, the "Agriculture Commission" even gave some small processing factories directly to the serf owners, just to turn the land farmers into free workers.

However, this method only satisfies less than one-third of the land owners. Most of them are liberal aristocrats who are open-minded, broad-minded, and have the determination and perseverance to devote themselves to the industrial industry.

For those serf owners who still have great attachment and extreme dependence on land, Desai instructed Spelanski to issue land bonds to use the government-owned Silesia and the Danze Corridor exclusive to the fertile land of the two places for 5-year or 10-year mortgages. If the debt holders are still unwilling to accept the government's cash or other compensation methods, they can obtain the amount of land specified in the debts in the above two places, and of course the government must also compensate a part of the interest.

Thanks to Desai's experience in the industrial industry that he worked hard in Catalonia, a modern industrial system will be initially established in Poland for at least 5 years or up to 10 years. Only then will these serf owners truly realize that the profit output value of factories that emit black smoke will be far more than several times, ten times, or even dozens of times the land production value!

However, the above two methods still cannot eliminate all the complaints of stubborn landlords, but as long as they do not openly resist and support the country's foreign war, Desai will usually give a certain degree of tolerance.

After 1813, Spelansky, who had already served as the Cabinet Secretary of State, officially announced the "Houseland Exchange Act", announcing that land owners in Poland could exchange a large area of ​​land for a large area of ​​land on the east bank of the Od River, East Prussia, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine, that is, the Prussian and Russian territory occupied by the Polish army. In addition, these lands were not wasteland, but mature land that had been cultivated for many years and were expropriated from exile nobles.

Of course, the Homestead Act is also used for Polish civilians or other immigrants, but the land they obtain is often forests, swamps, saline-alkali land and barren hills, which must be mature after years of hard work. The state also provides them with 3 to 5 years of micro-loan assistance to help them survive the most difficult periods of life.

All reform measures cannot be perfect, which satisfies everyone. The same is true for the land reform in 1812 led by Spelansky. During this period, various riots occurred frequently. Fortunately, Desai's careful deployment in advance, these riots were suppressed by the secret police, military police and army who had been prepared, resolutely and quickly, and did not cause too much turmoil to the country.

In 1813, when Poland and Russia fought a final decisive battle, national justice finally defeated all kinds of dissatisfaction...

Another factor in the success of the reform in 1812 was the strong support of the European Jewish consortium headed by the Rothschilds, who provided a total of 5 billion francs of funds.

In return, after the war situation with Russia was relatively stable, Desai issued an edict to promulgate the Jewish Act, which formally granted more than 300,000 Jews in the territory the legal rights as citizens of the state, respected and granted the Jews freedom in religion, life and work, including setting up new factories and enterprises, establishing Jewish communities, setting up Jewish schools and synagogues, etc. However, before 1820, Jewish citizens could only get the right to vote and could not enjoy the right to be elected.
