Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 93 The difference between starting from scratch and occupying

Newgate didn't expect that Jack was planning to use the community to sell houses to make money, but a house with fifty gold dragons can indeed make a lot of money.

At this moment, Newgate suddenly thought of an order that Jack had given before.

That is, all the land of the Atlantis Empire is owned by the state, and citizens only have the right to use it.

And the citizens of Atlantis didn't care about this order, because all the land was hired by Jack to reclaim it.

Jack paid for it, and took care of the food. Anyway, these lands belonged to Jack, and they didn't think too much about it.

After all, the king had to find people to plant the reclaimed land, and the reclaimed land had already begun to hire people to cultivate it.

You only need to complete the not-so-complicated planting exam, and you can become a cultivator after obtaining the planting certificate. It is said that the work of a cultivator is very easy.

Moreover, the cultivator not only provides three meals a day, but also a monthly salary of [-] copper coins.

Isn't this much more comfortable than farming by yourself?
The only pity is that the number of cultivators recruited is somewhat small.

So now the Atlanteans are not obsessed with the ownership of the land. According to the reclamation plan of Neptune Island, they all have the opportunity to become cultivators.

Therefore, they feel that even if there is no land to grow food, they will not be short of food, let alone money.

What's more, the large number of factories built on Crescent Island is no secret, and they even speculate that the treatment of factories may be better.

"It's okay, we set up the Imperial Bank, and we can loan them interest-free loans.

In this way, even if they only save 0.5 golden dragons every month, that is six golden dragons a year.

If the loan is interest-free, it can be repaid in less than ten years. "

"."

Newgate keenly sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to control their housing?"

Newgate was a little puzzled, why the citizens of the empire only had the right to use the land, and why they were not allowed to build their own houses on the land.

"Because the population will increase, if they are allowed to build their own houses, the entire Neptune Island will be full of self-built houses.

The construction of communities can not only make rational use of land so that more people can have houses to live in, but also use their money to buy houses to build more communities. "

"As for the issue of land ownership you mentioned, only giving them the right to use the land is to prevent land mergers.

If the ownership of the land is given to individuals, then the rich will find ways to annex other people's land.

If things go on like this, the land in the hands of the empire will become less and less, while individuals will have more and more private land.

Until the end, the country can't collect taxes, and some people will be fat and dripping. "

Land is wealth, especially when it has not yet entered industrialization, even if it enters industrialization land is still valuable.

Although the land of Neptune Island is now owned by Jack, there will be more and more people in the future, and more and more islands and coastal lands will be occupied.

At this time, if the land is still privately owned, the first batch of rich people will definitely not let go of the newly occupied land.

Coupled with the fact that Atlantis will be composed of archipelagos and coastal areas around the world, it will be no different from enfeoffment.

Everywhere there will be big and small landlords no different from the emperor, and the empire that Jack built from scratch will have no meaning.

Therefore, while Atlantis has just been established and no nobles have been born, Jack must not implement private ownership of land at this time of least resistance.

This is also one of the reasons why Jack chose to find an archipelago to build a site from scratch.

If Jack had chosen to occupy a territory in Essos or Westeros.

It is basically impossible for Jack to implement these "deviant" systems.

Because the nobles will unite against Jack, Jack's land system has shaken the foundation of their rule.

In the eyes of the nobles, any nationalization is a fool. What Jack did was to confiscate their land.

Unless Jack asked Poseidon to clean all the local nobles.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for Jack to be as relaxed as he is now, and he can implement any system he wants to implement.

Newgate also understood Jack's thoughts. The construction of a community can indeed provide housing for more people, and it can also manage the population more conveniently.

"At that time, it will be managed directly according to the community, and population statistics and registration will be convenient."

"That's right, it seems that you are not old enough to get rusty on your head. Yes, you can continue to work for me for a few more years, and hurry up to train Asidov. That young man is not bad."

"." Newgate was speechless, you still want to continue to squeeze my feelings.

To be honest, Newgate really wanted to retire.

He has promoted all the newcomers who should be promoted, and he has also arranged for the honest people who should be arranged. Now Asidov can take his place after retirement.

And he can receive a pension and live in a house allocated by the empire to enjoy his old age.

When Vetteril gave him another big fat boy to take care of him, it would be worth his whole life to enjoy the family happiness.

As for the prime minister's power, Newgate really didn't care. As an old slave, being able to be saved by the Sea Emperor to enjoy his old age was the greatest happiness.

The game of power should be left to young people to play. Atlantis is basically 20-year-old young people, and now that there is a large power gap, the battle is fierce.

At night, the moon is dark and the stars are sparse, which seems to indicate that there may be rain in the next few days.

At this time Jack's decree has been notified to everyone.

The citizens of Atlantis did not protest as Jack imagined, but instead asked when they could buy a house with a loan.

Except for the first [-] high-level slaves on Neptune Island, the rest are ordinary efforts at the bottom.

For them, isn't an interest-free loan just a housing subsidy for them?
Anyway, they were slaves before, and they could live in a kennel, and now they can still build a house made of cement, even if the property rights can't be renewed for only 80 years, they all recognize it.

What's more, it can be renewed after expiration.

According to the loan policy given by His Majesty the Sea Emperor, the fifty gold dragons will be repaid in 20 years. With the average monthly salary promised by His Majesty, there is no pressure at all.

Jack is also very satisfied with their reaction. This group of people has not been enlightened, and their lives have just begun to improve, so they agree 100% with what Jack said.

In their eyes, Jack is the incarnation of Poseidon, and even Godzilla obeyed Jack's command and became the patron saint of Atlantis.

This kind of blind worship and belief in the sea god will impress the ears and eyes of the next generation of Atlantis.

At that time, after entering Imperial College to study, they will become a generation with both ideological enlightenment and faith.

The so-called army is divided into three classes, the ancient army, the modern army, and the modern army.

The division is not judged by the difference in weapon generation.

Like many armies in the Middle East in Jack's previous life, even with modern weapons, they are still at the level of ancient armies.

The most obvious feature of the ancient army was that they did not know what to fight for and had no desire to fight.

The level of combat can only be improved through generals, which itself is an armed force to satisfy the selfish desires of the controllers.

Suffering [-] percent casualties many times will result in a rout.

The modern army is based on a small number of officers and a large number of consumable soldiers.

Know what you fight for, and act with that belief.

This belief can be animalistic, or it can be religious belief or nationalism.

Its disadvantages are inflexibility and dogmatism.

The modern army strengthens the basic combat literacy of soldiers on the basis of the modern army.

What is more important is to have judgment and unwavering faith.

The simplest source of judgment is reading and literacy.

But it is usually difficult to have a firm belief after reading and literacy.

If an army has judgment and firm belief, its explosive combat effectiveness, subjective initiative and combat will will be unparalleled.

The most intuitive manifestation is the flexible combat of the army, and it is common to even hold the position to the last person.

Obviously, Jack's goal is to build a modern army.

The two conditions of building the empire from scratch and Godzilla gave Jack the foundation to build a modern army.

It only takes 20 years, and the army of Atlantis will become stronger than ever before.
