The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 179
The American Empire is absolutely militaristic now, which is why it has been recuperating after the Battle of the Justice Legion.

Although Yuri's foreign war does not require the army of the American Empire to be the main force, it still needs a group of people to do chores. Even game soldiers have to eat and drink, and logistics still need supplies.

What's more, although the morale of the American Empire's legion is not high on the frontal battlefield, it is still a regular army, and it is more than enough to occupy the territory and act as a security force.

The British made a lot of noise in Europe this time, and there was no way to hide the size of the batches of British troops from all over the world that were shipped to Canada. The FBI under Yuri sent a few eyeliners to the port at random, and saw You can know the huge amount of materials entering Hong Kong and the rows of red shirts...

At the same time, the deployment of troops in the Viceroyalty of New Spain was also very frequent.

In the second year of the Era of Sauron, after a year of recuperation, the economic aggregate of the American Empire finally returned to the level of the British colonies before the war.

However, because the British always acted as pirates at sea to attack the trade between the American Empire and the European mainland, the economic activities of the American Empire have risen to a bottleneck, and most of them have to rely on domestic sales!

Fortunately, Yuri changed the national industry of the American Empire from cotton to grain, so the total amount of foreign trade is not high.

The grain output of Europa Continent in this era is quite high. Whether it is chemical fertilizers or various agricultural machinery, they first appeared in the advanced countries of Europa Continent. In addition, there is a dense population and enough labor force. food production capacity.

In addition, the world colonial movement also allowed Europa, the center of the world, to obtain the world's raw materials and food supplies. As long as a continental war does not break out, there will be no shortage of food.

This is still based on the development of food planting in Tsarist Russia, which occupied the most land. Because of the traditional feudal serfdom, there was no liberated production capacity.

If Tsarist Russia could eliminate its internal shortcomings, stimulate the enthusiasm of the serfs, and then reclaim large areas of fertile wasteland into farmland, food prices in Europe would definitely experience a big plunge!

Of course, no country wants to see that scene.

Even if grain is a bulky commodity that cannot be sold, it is impossible to rot in the warehouse. At least it can be used as a war reserve grain. This is naturally Yuri's favorite product, so he used his dictatorial power to forcefully promote grain when he was in power. The cultivation of other crops has been continuously banned.

The food here is not only basic food such as barley and wheat, but also edible crops such as fruits and vegetables.

Of course, the basic pasta is still a big head, even if you can't eat this thing, you can still use it to make wine and consume it.

Moreover, the influx of food into the market will reduce food prices, and will effectively and steadily increase the birth rate and survival rate of newborns.

Most of the ignorant people in this era are illiterate, and there is only one factor in whether to use birth control—whether they have enough to eat.

As long as there is enough to eat, everyone is basically healthy. After all, there are no effective contraceptive measures, and the labor force is also one of the upper limit conditions for how much economic value a family can create.

Converting large tracts of land to grain and other edible agricultural products will naturally do more good than harm to the country and the people, but it will do more harm than good to operators and agricultural capitalists.

The increase in grain production has made the already thin-profit grain trading unprofitable. Naturally, it is not as profitable as selling cotton!

However, at this time in the American Empire, even the local dignitaries who can fight are finished, let alone the capitalists and businessmen who direct business?
Therefore, they either choose to go bankrupt, or rely on their tyrannical background to carry out small profits but quick sales to benefit the people and the American Empire...

As a matter of course, after the autumn harvest, Yuri immediately obtained enough strategic food reserves to start a war!
Because a large amount of land was converted to cultivate grain, there was no way to eat all the grain, so the American imperial government directly purchased it at a price lower than the market price. Many farmers were busy for a year in vain...

The market price has already been suppressed again and again by the large amount of grain, and if the government purchases it even lower, it can be said that the profits from the grain trade are completely eaten up...

That is to say, Yuri, who is full of dictatorship and power, can "seize the interests of the people" in such an aboveboard way, and if he is placed in an ordinary country, it will definitely cause a wave of chaos.

Which one can be a farmer without a lot of connections?
They even raised a group of farmers themselves, and they can launch a civil uprising!

It's a pity that the bloodstains of the American Empire's Justice Legion have not dried yet. The killings a year ago are still vivid in their minds. No one dares to challenge the limits of the tyrant Yuri...

However, the imperial government's behavior of competing for profits from the people did not affect the real farmers.

Most of the grain grown by the self-cultivating farmers is reserved for themselves and their families. Naturally, there is no need to sell it in large quantities in the market. Even if a small part of it is sold at a loss, having enough grain in hand is already very good for the poor self-cultivating farmers.

There are no slaves in the American Empire today, and yeomen are actually poor households with few fields.

What these poor households value most is food reserves, not how much money they can earn.

Naturally, they are not so sensitive to market profits.

Nowadays, most of the owner farmers in the American empire were created by the American imperial government after the war. A large number of local dignitaries have been eradicated, and the fields under their command naturally cannot be wasted.

The prisoners of war were all sent to mine, so these fields were paid to those landless farmers for cultivation, which is equivalent to the government becoming a landlord to collect rent.

The government’s local landlords’ rent collection has many benefits for small people. At least they don’t have to bear two expenses. As long as they have paid enough rent, they don’t have to pay land tax.

This is also a benefit given to these yeoman by the imperial government.

It was this approach that kept the large amounts of captured property from local dignitaries from being abandoned by the American Empire.

At the same time, the policy of equal land distribution has been realized to a certain extent.

Of course, the land policy only targets confiscated land, and the American empire still respects the sanctity of personal property.

This is the foundation of governing the country, except for Yuri, no one can deprive others of their property at will!

Well, the law is governed by people, and Yuri will naturally humanize the law. If there are flaws, he will make another decree to change it...

"Your Majesty, according to a letter from the FBI, the New Spain Governor's Office has transferred the elite European Legion stationed in Mexico City to the Florida Province, in addition to the local colonial army of the New Spain Governor's District with a total of more than 10.

This time, the British and Spaniards obviously didn't want us to rest for too long. "
