Of course Li Xiao knew what to do, but he couldn't tell Alexei so directly, because he knew that the other party definitely had thoughts on this issue, and Alexei's thoughts were definitely not completely consistent with his own.
Although Alexey had been vaccinated just now and was mentally prepared to a certain extent, he still couldn't accept it directly.
So, it's best to listen to Alexei's ideas first, and then slowly bargain down the price to make this kid accept your ideas.
"Why don't you have any ideas? Don't be modest. Tell us your ideas first, and then we can compare them and learn from each other's strengths!"
Alexei felt comfortable listening to these words. Sometimes he felt that it was very pleasant to deal with Li Xiao. It was not like when he was interacting with certain people, he always didn't give himself any face and kept everything straight, which sometimes made him feel uncomfortable.
He was very embarrassed.
There is no such problem when dealing with Li Xiao. The other party can always grasp the size appropriately without making him feel embarrassed, but he can also express his opinions skillfully. This level is really too high!
Sometimes Alexey wants to learn from Li Xiao how to deal with people, and he also wants to be so comfortable and comfortable. But if Alexey's thoughts were known to Li Xiao, he would probably laugh or cry, because he
I really don’t feel that my emotional intelligence and my ability to treat people are very high. The reason why Alexey feels comfortable is probably because of Chinese people’s habits. Getting along with friends in China is not as straightforward as in Europe. You have to learn to give to each other.
Save face.
So, even if Li Xiao's emotional intelligence is not particularly high, it seems a bit high in Europe.
Alexey thought for a while and replied: "If we want to carry out the reform of serfdom according to my vision, we must liberate the serfs' personal freedom and allow them to obtain land on which they can survive!"
To Li Xiao, this is nonsense. Isn’t that what liberating the serfs is all about? What he wants to ask is how Alexey can achieve these two things. Not to mention granting personal freedom to the serfs, but to talk about the land issue. Where does this land come from?
Woolen cloth?
Sure enough, as Li Xiao expected, the first plan Alexey put forward was very characteristic of the times and taken for granted. He answered confidently: "I think the most fair and reasonable plan for the land issue is the redemption policy. Serfs
After paying a certain redemption fee, you will automatically obtain personal freedom and a certain amount of land? Then..."
After Alexey finished speaking, Li Xiao sighed in his heart: "Is this right here?"
Really? What Alexey did is not much different from the serfdom reform carried out by Alexander II in history. They tried their best to compromise with the conservative class, but in fact they failed to completely solve the serf problem.
So after Alexey finished speaking? Li Xiao naturally asked a few questions: "You said you want to redeem, then I have to ask? How much is the redemption fee? How will the serfs pay this fee?"
Alexey scratched his head and replied: "The specific redemption fee still needs to be investigated and discussed. As for how to pay the fee? Is this a big problem?"
Li Xiao was a little dumbfounded: "Of course it's a big problem. Do you think those poor serfs have any savings? My friend, I must tell you? Most of them are penniless and precarious? They don't even have a full stomach.
The problem is that we simply can’t afford the money to redeem our land and freedom!”
Alexey was stunned, scratched his head again, and said: "In other words, they have no money? Can they provide loans in the name of the state? The state will lend them loans to help them pay the cost? Of course, the interest rate
It can be considered a little lower... In this case? Now that the problem is solved, the country will also have an extra income? Isn't this pretty good!"
Li Xiao was speechless. He only said one sentence: "You want the state to advance the payment for the serfs first? Then let them repay the mortgage... OK? Let me ask you? Do you know how much this money is? Do you think
Can the Wallachian treasury afford so much money at once?"
Alexey was stunned again. He quietly calculated the accounts in his mind. There were millions of serfs in Wallachia. The cost of redeeming each serf's ears was not much. Taking one thousand rubles as an example, that is
1 billion rubles.
One billion rubles is equivalent to about 100 million pounds. Let alone 100 million pounds, it is impossible for the Wallachian treasury to have even 10 million pounds. Even the Russian treasury does not have it, because this number is too exaggerated! Let alone Russia, Britain has
The annual fiscal revenue is only so much that the British can't even fill this hole, okay?
Alexey scratched the back of his head and said: "One thousand rubles per serf is too high. It should... it should be almost only 100 rubles..."
At this point, he fell silent again, because even if it only cost 100 rubles, it was still 100 million rubles, and he still couldn't get it out!
He suddenly became frustrated and said: "Obviously, it is not feasible for the state to grant loans. Then let the serfs owe the money on credit first, and then pay it to the serf owners in installments over a period of ten years. This should be okay, right?"
Alexey had no confidence when he said this, because it was hard to say whether the serf owner would do it or not. Anyway, based on his understanding of those miserly people, he would definitely not do it.
What's more, Li Xiao still has something to attack him behind! He asked with a smile: "Even if the serf owner is willing to do it, then let me ask you, can you guarantee that the serfs are willing to do it?"
Alexey was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why didn't they agree?"
"It's very simple. Take the redemption fee of 100 rubles you mentioned as an example! Even for a family of three, it is 300 rubles. If paid in ten years, at least 30 rubles must be paid every year. Do you think an ordinary farmer's family can earn a year?
30 rubles?”
"Maybe..."
Alexei's answer gave him no confidence. Li Xiao directly shattered his illusion: "It is highly likely that it is impossible. The redemption fee of 300 rubles includes the redemption of personal freedom and the redemption of land. This can buy
How big is a piece of land? It’s a bit difficult to support a family on such a small amount of land, let alone have a surplus!”
Alexei was about to speak, but Li Xiao stopped him: "What will happen once a serf cannot afford the annual redemption fee? Is his land and personal freedom confiscated again? Or is he imprisoned for hard labor?
"
Alexey was really stunned, because he had never thought about so many details. In his original understanding, liberating the serfs was a one-time deal, and as long as they liberated the serfs, all problems and troubles would be solved. But now listening to Li
When Xiao said this, he realized that the problems and troubles seemed to have just begun...
