760, Land Reform Act
"I came here because of another very important thing..."
Grand Duke Xintis did not hesitate and directly told the Saint all about the "Peace Agreement" initiated by Sean and the exchange of 300,000 gold coins for the five-year management rights of Wind's Breath City and Oran City.
Saint Jia Simin's expression was still cloudy at first. After all, if the ancestor really couldn't come out of the secret realm, the entire Shancha family would undoubtedly experience a catastrophe.
But after listening to Xintis' words, Saint Jia Simin's tightened brows relaxed, a smile appeared on her face again, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.
After Xintis finished speaking, she immediately nodded and said happily:
"Just do what Sean says! The Peace Agreement will benefit us without any harm!
Without further ado, I will contact Tifa Lawn tomorrow to advance this matter together and try our best to get it done before the royal family launches an attack!"
Grand Duke Sintis nodded: "What about 300,000 gold coins in exchange for the management rights of two cities? Do we agree to Sean?"
"Switch with him!" Saint Jia Simin was not as hesitant as Xintis, and said decisively:
"Not to mention the management rights of two cities, what does it matter even if the two cities are given to him?
You know, the family is at a critical moment of life and death!"
Grand Duke Xintis understands. What the Saint said makes sense. The first thing to consider now is how to save the family. Let Sean give the two cities.
He sighed: "Then tomorrow I will send a message to Sean. We agree to sign the "Peace Agreement" and urge both parties to stop the war in time."
"Yes." Saint Jia Simin also nodded slightly: "We will continue to wait after the armistice. Alas, I hope our ancestors can come out of the secret realm."
"Yes!" Grand Duke Xintis looked to the northwest with a sad expression on his face.

On the morning of October 22, John City.
Sean spread the decree made last night to the whole country through the magic network.
The most important decree is the Land Reform Act.
The Land Reform Act began to be implemented in the Yoon region and Rhodes Island as pilot areas.
The bill stipulates that all land will be state-owned and all cultivated land will be distributed to farmers under the leadership of the government.
Sean had this to say in his "Initiative Letter" for the Land Reform Bill:
"My fellow farmers in the principality, the nobles in the Yohn City area only account for less than 1% of the total population, but they own more than 80% of the land! And the most fertile and most suitable land for farming is also occupied by them.
Now that almost all of the nobles in Yohn City were killed or injured in the civil war, the remaining ones have also devoted themselves to business and other fields. All the land in the Yohn area will be owned by the principality.
Therefore, I decided to implement the "Agrarian Reform Act" in the John area and Rhode Island, nationalize all cultivated land, and distribute it equally to every citizen in the area on a per capita basis.
And because of the land change, citizens who are allocated land do not have to pay any taxes to the government in the first two years. After two years, the agricultural tax will remain at 10% and will not be increased for 50 years!"
The "Land Reform Bill" and "Initiative" formulated by Sean quickly spread throughout the principality under his promotion.
Soon, the entire principality was in a sensation!
In less than three days, the specific contents of the bill and initiative spread from big cities to rural areas.
Farmers rushed to tell each other, like crazy, passing on the specific content of the land reform bill.
.
Three days after the promulgation of the "Land Reform Act", Essena Village, Hongfeng Town, Pacheng City.
Roger is an ordinary old farmer in the village.
Today, as usual, he returned to the village from the fields carrying farm tools.
For the 48-year-old, his life as a farmer has long since ceased, and all that is left is to eat and wait to die.
His only pleasure is to go to the village tavern to drink, brag, and see what fresh stories the new bard has made up in his free time.
But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village today, he saw the new bard standing on the solid grain pile at the entrance of the village.
The bard was holding a pamphlet in his hand and was talking about something.
Below the grain pile, dozens of villagers were shouting around him, making it very lively.
Old Rogge quickly dropped his farm tools and walked over, shouting loudly as he walked:
"What are you doing? Are you going to burn him to death? Romney, is this a bad idea from you?"
There was an old white-haired man in the crowd who was Romney. Hearing this, his face darkened immediately:
[Get Red Envelopes by Reading] Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and get up to 888 cash red envelopes by reading!
"The village only burns witches, black cats and lepers. This bard looks like a strong young man. Why do we burn him to death?"
"Then what are you doing? Still standing on the grain pile?" Rogge complained.
"Because there is really no place to stand, the village entrance is the highest place."
Old man Romney pulled him over excitedly: "You don't know, there's something big going on in Yoen City!"
"Big deal? Is it related to His Highness Sean?" Rogge asked quickly.
His Highness Sean is the spiritual support of the farmers, so nothing can go wrong with him.
"That's right!" Old Romney's face turned red: "His Royal Highness recently promulgated a bill called... called..."
"It's called the Land Reform Act!" the bard standing on the grain pile reminded.
"Yes, yes, this is the bill!" Old Romney said quickly: "You don't know, this bill is simply too powerful!"
In the following time, Rogge heard the villagers around him say something to him about this "epoch-making bill" to popularize science.
Rogge was shocked as he listened to the popular science from the surrounding villagers.
What? All land belongs to the state?
What? Your Highness wants to allocate arable land to every farmer on a per capita basis? How many times more arable land can each person be allocated, and it is all fertile land?
What? Agricultural tax is only 10%?
What? No taxes for the first two years?
Rogge felt dizzy after hearing this. This is the welfare that farmers dream of!
This is like gold falling from the sky!
But Old Rogge also raised a question: "But everyone, these are just the welfare of the people of Yohn area and Rhode Island? What does it have to do with us?"
Rogge's words were like a sudden heavy rain in the dog days of summer. Suddenly, the excitement level of the crowd dropped a lot.
That's right! It doesn't seem to have anything to do with them.
As farmers in Pacheng, they do not enjoy these benefits.
Old man Romney glared at him: "Although these benefits are not available to us, with His Highness Sean's credibility, I believe it will be our turn in a few years!"
The bard standing on the grain pile also smiled and said: "If it doesn't work out, you can move to Yohn City now!"
The bill also states that the relocated residents enjoy the same treatment as the local residents! Moreover, the civil war in the Youne area has just ended and a lot of people died, so there must be a lot of vacant land and houses.
Chapter completed!
