"I, Downing Joao Miguel Gabriel Rafael de Braganza, your king, will definitely bring changes to you.
During the Republic period, Brazil was exploiting foreign countries and exploiting domestic countries. This is obvious to all.
During this period, Brazil's agriculture was decadent, its industry was withered, and its business was deformed. The so-called liberals shouted slogans, but they kept their secrets and destroyed the country's foundation.
In the past 20 years, their so-called republic has caused countless farmers to go bankrupt, countless poor people to appear in cities, and the country has been in unprecedented decline.
I am very anxious about the current situation, I want to change it, and I want to make the people of the country prosperous and strong.
But the reality is cruel, and it will take a long time to change. It will not happen overnight. This process will take 10, 20, or even 30 years.
I am not as shameless as the Republicans and Liberals, shouting loud slogans and saying that everything can be easily solved. I will not say such deceptive nonsense, I will only slowly change it.
National change does not happen overnight. Today, Brazil owes too much lessons, which needs to be made up for step by step.
What is the most important thing that needs to change in Brazil today?"
Tang Ning, standing on the high platform that had been set up, delivered her political speech sonorously and forcefully in front of the microphone.
On the high platform, in addition to the eye-catching Tang Ning in the middle, there were many people's representatives sitting on tables and chairs on both sides of the high platform, listening to the king's holy words.
Under the high platform, tens of thousands of Brazilian people are also listening to the king's speech. They are very concerned about the king's political declaration and action plan, and look forward to the king bringing changes to the people, society, and the country.
"It's agriculture! It's industry! It's education!
These three top priorities must be reformed. These are also the three things that need to be solved most after the establishment of the Kingdom of Brazil.
Agriculture, I have a very scary agricultural data.
At present, Brazil has 50 million hectares of farmland, and the production situation is very unoptimistic.
Today, 461 large landowner estates account for 0.1% of the production units, occupying more than 27 million hectares of land.
The 464,000 small and medium-sized agricultural owners, accounting for 71.5% of the production units, own 15.7 million hectares of land.
There are still more than 50% of farmers who have no land or lack of land, and they share the remaining 7 million hectares.
This data is so terrible. Why has the country become like this? It's because farmers are bankrupt.
A large number of farmers were squeezed and exploited by the Republic. A large number of people lost their land and were displaced. Except for a small number of people who became long-term serf workers, the rest could only enter the city. Most of them ended up staying in slums.
Urban industry and commerce have been fragmented by the Republic's coffee trade. The urban population itself lacks jobs, and the influx of a large number of farmers has resulted in cheap human resources.
Industrial decadence and business malformation require not much manpower, and human resources have become cheap. This has resulted in indelible urban-rural conflicts and the emergence of a large number of slums.
Education is extremely important, but during the Republic, everyone was very poor, and the literacy rate was less than 10%, which was far lower than that of the world's powerful countries.
All this has caused our Brazil to become weaker and weaker.
Brazil should have been the largest country in South America, but now Argentina looks down upon us; even a small country like Venezuela dares to negotiate terms with us, expands its reach in Guyana, and occupies a large amount of land.
The Republic stirs up trouble, puts all the blame on the poor, and stirs up class conflicts. This is so incompetent, shameless, and without a sense of morality.
Now, the people have awakened and discovered the mysterious skills of liberals. They have remembered our sacred royal family and the glorious Kingdom of Brazil. You have shattered the Republic and brought me back!
I, your King of Brazil, will not evade my responsibilities or live up to your expectations. I will change the situation of a weak country and poor people.
Although this is difficult and takes a long time, I will try my best.
The fundamental cause of the country is the collapse of agriculture. I will first make key reforms to change the source of all this collapse.
........."
This speech focused on agriculture, then industry, education, and society...
Tang Ning briefly gave solutions to what he talked about, but these methods take time, and he hopes people can understand them. At the same time, he also proposed twelve concepts at the national, social and public levels.
Tangning's impassioned speech, which lasted for half an hour, conveyed her great political concepts and successfully aroused people's emotions. The effect of her speech was outstanding.
"Dear Your Majesty! I am Jerry. You said you would crack down on farmers. Is that true?"
Tang Ning's speech to build momentum was not just a one-man show, but also an interactive session to build public opinion for the next reform.
"Yes, I will fight them."
Looking at the desolate middle-aged man in front of her, this peasant representative with unshaven beard, rough appearance, vicissitudes of life, and the clothes he wore were white from washing many times, Tangning responded loudly.
"There are a total of 461 large landowner estates, occupying more than 27 million hectares of land. This is such a terrible thing and must be cracked down on.
The agricultural tax I just mentioned, the highest level of agricultural tax, is aimed at them.
These large farmers expanded rapidly during the Republic, and now that they are a kingdom, they cannot be allowed to do whatever they want.
From now on, the upper limit of private farmland allowed by the state can only be 25,000 hectares.
The maximum limit for these 461 large plantation owners is this, and any excess land must be handed over to the kingdom.
Of course, when these lands are recovered, I will give these large plantation owners a reasonable price. As a king, you must have the noble character of a king and must not rob or plunder.
The kingdom is not a republic, and it must not be without credibility and bottom line.
After the land is recovered, it will belong to the Kingdom. I will distribute it to some farmers with little land and let them have land to grow crops.
Of course, I also know that these lands cannot solve the urgent needs of most farmers, and I will develop the inland areas.
It is very difficult for a farmer to open up wasteland. The Kingdom will develop professional farms and organize farmers to work together to open up wasteland in an orderly manner.
With the state's collective allocation and farmers forming cooperatives under the guidance of the state, it will be easy to open up wasteland.
In this process, the country will give them help and support to solve their early troubles and worries."
"Your Majesty, my son Henry and the children from the countryside are now long-term workers.
Because of unknown debt reasons, they were forced to sign a lifelong contract with Mr. Carlos, but after working, they were squeezed by Mr. Carlos and their treatment was not good."
An old peasant woman with gray hair looked at the king expectantly and asked in a hopeful tone.
"Your Majesty, you said you would abolish the long-term employment system and change it to short-term employment. Is that true?"
"Really, is there any difference between the farmers who signed long-term contracts under the long-term employment system signed by the plantation owners and the slaves who were abolished during the Kingdom?"
