"From here to that canal, it will be the land of you and your children from now on. I hope you can live up to the hero's sacrifice and raise the hero's children." Princess Katharina handed a land deed to the person in front of her.

Choking woman.

"I praise you, His Highness Habsburg. May you live a long life and the Warlock Royal Family be prosperous forever." The first family member of the martyr to receive the land deed was also carefully selected. Although he was excited, he spoke well.

Today is the day for the first batch of land distribution on the north bank of the Danube River. The heirs of more than a thousand officers and soldiers who died in the battle since Ladislaus took charge of Austrian affairs, except for a few who have traveled particularly far away, gathered today at the farms on the north bank of the Danube River.

The wife who has not remarried will get land and an already built house. The soldier whose wife has remarried or has been a bachelor will try his best to find his parents or brothers to inherit the land.

Although he was not opposed to the remarriage of war widows, and Austria's national strength could not afford the patriarchal system of the Eastern Empire, Ladislaus still strictly stipulated the ownership of the land after his wife remarried to ensure that the descendants of the officers and soldiers killed in the war could be taken care of by the state.

If the wife remarries, both her children and her children can inherit it. If there is no other guardian, the Austrian government will take care of these lands and will never let the survivors of the martyrs have no food to eat.

Of course Ladislaus was present today, but he specifically asked Katharina to be responsible for distributing the land deeds. This was a great thing to do to show kindness to others, and it could also appear more tender and affectionate through a woman.

The more important reason was naturally to support the empress of the palace. The ambiguous attitude of Anna's son and Barbarossa made Katherina's status shaky.

Needless to say, Anna's strong performance.

Another disadvantage for Katharina was that her brother Ferdinand did not provide her with strong support.

However, Ladislaus's support was quite powerful, and Katharina understood the benefits of letting her reward the land deed even without the guidance of the old maid.

This is helping her win people's hearts.

"The land from the nineteenth stone to the twentieth stone will belong to you from now on. I hope you will not live up to your father's sacrifice, continue to be loyal to Austria, and raise your sister."

"Thank you, His Highness Habsburg. May you live a long life and the Warlock Royal Family be prosperous forever." A boy who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old took over the land deed. Although from Ladislaus' point of view,

It was still a little too young, but at this time, most people in Europe also recognized that children of this age could establish a household, and Ladislaus also admitted that allowing children to inherit the land themselves was the best way to avoid disputes.

It took about two hours, and more than a thousand people were given irrigated fields that their husbands or fathers had sacrificed their lives for. These lands guaranteed harvests despite droughts and floods, and could feed several families even if there was no strong laborer in the family.

There are no high-yielding varieties of wheat in Europe at this time. Some strong men even pull out the wheat with their hands during the harvest season, even without a sickle. Therefore, as long as the grassroots government organizes to provide help during busy farming times, women and half-grown children

Can also take care of these lands.

Most of the people who took over the title deed to Katharina were women and half-grown children. After Katharina finished, Ladislaus appeared.

Ladislaus also personally distributed a small portion of the land deeds, and those who received the land deeds from him were mostly middle-aged men.

"Thank you for the blood and sweat you have given to Austria over the past seventeen years."

"Praise to you. Your Highness Habsburg, may you live a long life and the Warlock Royal Family may always be prosperous."

The content of the conversation was similar, but the essence of the issue was quite different, which was that officers and soldiers who retired from active service got their own land.

After establishing a second-line force called the militia, which was actually a reserve force in Vienna, Ladislaus needed to include some officers into this second-line force as the skeleton of the army. Some of them had already served for a long time. And they often suffered too many battle injuries and it was difficult to continue.

Old officers and veterans who have served their posts can receive retirement benefits.

Some other provincial capitals have also begun work in this area, and only cities with the strongest government execution capabilities can implement this policy.

The capital and provincial capitals receive so much care in terms of policies and resources, which will inevitably lead to a clustering effect. This kind of policy can also slightly reduce the blind convergence. After all, the sewers and medical systems in most cities are very backward. If left unchecked, most of them will

An epidemic of this scale is a real disaster once it occurs.

This is also the best way to take care of veterans. Many veterans from civilian backgrounds are slow to read, and they are unanimously suppressed by aristocratic officers.

It is difficult for Ladislaus to give them a way to rise. By transferring to the militia, their treatment can be improved to fully realize their value.

Not only will the land be given priority, but the militia troops will be paid until they die, and the veterans who have shed blood for the country will not be left homeless.

Of course, Ladislaus was well aware of the test that Austria was about to face. The number of officers and soldiers transferred to the second line this time was only a dozen.

Most of the officers of the second-line troops are officers and veterans with mercenary experience, or they are more prestigious people in the neighborhood.

Machiavelli is also here today. He and Margarita manage this piece of land together.

"The yeoman farmers are the most precious wealth of the country. Your Highness, Habsburg, you are so clear-eyed." Machiavelli has extraordinary wisdom in strategy that is incomparable to Ladislaus, but in administration Ladislaus still has

Some thousands of years of experience can be used.

Although these yeoman farmers have not yet begun to pay taxes, he has already realized the value of yeoman farmers in national management. "The tax rate and military service are the most and best provided by yeoman farmers."

"Industry and commerce must pay attention to economies of scale. Agriculture must protect the yeoman farmers as much as possible." After a pause, Ladislaus decided to be honest with his true confidant. "But in the long run, the proportion of yeoman farmers is difficult to maintain.

, land will be concentrated among more diligent and enterprising people, and the royal family’s financial situation will not always be good. It can only be an accident that the royal family directly steps forward to increase the proportion of homesteaders by buying back land.”

"It's true. It's difficult to collect taxes from small industrial and commercial workers, but it's easier for large companies. However, building water conservancy is a long-term strategy. With enough water, you can rotate some vegetables and beans. The land

The value has increased." Machiavelli still decided not to echo the monarch's lament and try his best to praise his work. "One generation is responsible for one generation, and no one can arrange everything for future generations."

"It's true, it's true." Ladislaus looked at Katharina who was hanging out with several children and nodded.

Although he believes that he has obligations and missions to Katherina, at most he only has obligations and missions during his own lifetime, and he can only do his best after death. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian
