Liu Ruguo's actions in Ireland and England were not revolutionary.

It is a Chinese-style rebellion and reform.

It is only because it happens overseas and has no clan blood concern, so it is more thorough.

They were not like the later revolutionaries who used advanced production relations that were adapted to local conditions to break the system of the old society and carried out industrial production.

But it has the same essence, that is, the reason for class struggle is not whether the individual is good or bad.

On this land of England, what kind of production relations are advanced in this era?

They were old aristocratic landlords and new aristocratic merchants who merged land, issued usury, bought and sold people, and raising sheep.

Only in this way can a country with a land of only 130,000 square kilometers but a population of more than 5 million can accumulate strength in the shortest time, increase exports, and compete with the European hegemon for a vast new continent.

Liu Ruguo could not see these, he could only see that because the land annexation between the old and new nobles, opening handicraft factories, and lending usury led to a large number of farmers in England who lost their land and could not make a living.

The peasants first joined the royal navy of the English royal family for meager military salaries, but later they were defeated again and again, died and fled after being captured, and some of them joined his Shuntian An Minyi Army.

Liu Ruguo's pursuit was not advanced, and his slogan was not wealth or social progress, but that everyone had clothes and food.

And this is precisely the simplest and greatest justice of this era.

It’s not that feudal landlords are bad, feudal aristocrats or new asset aristocrats are bad, people have good people everywhere and bad people everywhere.

However, the total number of means of production is limited, and the total number of means of production competes between countries to enjoy is limited, and distribution to individuals must be limited.

Rich people have more, so they will naturally be willing to be kind and generous; poor people will have no way to be kind and generous.

As a feudal landlord, he could not always be kind and generous. In this era of frequent natural disasters, he could not maintain his identity as a landlord without land annexation or lending money.

Because you don’t lend to others, you don’t merge others’ mergers. When you encounter a disaster that you can’t stand, you can only sell the land to others. The landlord will return to the self-cultivating farmers, and the self-cultivating farmers will return to the tenant farmers.

When the public is in agitation, they can only be redistributed.

Perhaps the public grievances on this land were already boiling, but the farmers who lost their land because of enclosure and raising sheep are unable to make their own voices.

Perhaps the original land annexation in England has not reached the level of public grievances.

But now, it doesn't matter anymore.

Because of war, war has caused more people to lose the space for survival. Whether they are willing or not, they must choose sides on the occupied land and on the land that both sides have repeatedly competed for.

There is no middle ground.

Shuntian'an's Minyi Army continued to move forward. After only half a month of occupying Manchester, General Zhao Can first took Liverpool, and then ordered Uesugi Keizaki to move to the north and run to the Yorkshire Valley.

Liverpool is not a big place, it is just a small town with more than 100 households. Even if it gathers around the villages and towns, there are only a thousand households.

But it is in good position in Zhao Can's eyes.

"This is very good. You can build a harbor, build a dock, go directly to Ailan, and sell the lime, marble, copper, tin, lead and silver from the mountains."

Standing next to Zhao Can was Meng Xin, who retreated from the front line, nodding in a vague way.

"Zhu Xiaoen and Bai Laohu of Ailan have money, and there are mature shipyards there. If we sell our things, we can buy ships and have our own fleet. With ships, we can go to trade with Changsheng of the Dongyang Military Palace."

Zhao Can didn't say anything in detail, because he didn't understand anything he said in detail.

In return, Meng Xin stared at him: "Then general, what should I do here?"

Meng Xin had seventeen head-level meritorious deeds, could hear Chinese, and was just about to meet the prefect Tang Xianzu. General Ying Ming's suggestion to promote Irish sergeants in England, and was promoted from musketeers to 100 households.

He was transferred to Liverpool. The current name of this place is Eel Port Baihushou, which belongs to Shanbei Qianhushou.

Because Liverpool's original name was Eel Pond, it guards the Mersey River, and there are many eels in the Mersey River.

The people living nearby are all under the management of hundreds of households in the Eel Harbor, and are official positions held by the military and political parties.

"Our Shanbei Thousand Household Institute will be promoted to the Ministry of Revenue in the future. Five of the ten hundred households will be promoted to the Ministry of Revenue. The land under the Eel Port is large and the people are many, which is the easiest to be promoted to the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhao Can was just talking nonsense. He had never been a hundred households, nor a thousand households. He started fighting from Ireland and started fighting with Liu Ruguo and became a general. He was not very good at fighting wars, and he had no experience in governing the local area.

It is difficult to make decent suggestions to Meng Xin on what should a hundred households do.

He thought about it, and after careful consideration, he said a famous saying: "Anyway, the land cannot be deserted, so if it is deserted, plant something."

In fact, this is not the advice given to the hundred households by the general, but more like the advice given to his son by a senior peasant martial artist.

These people, or the semi-independent warlord regime similar to the Greater China concept, Shuntian's Minister Rebel Army, Liu Ruguo or Zhao Can, all have the same lives.

He has a poor life and a hard bone. He has faced the loess for half his life. Whether he cultivates wilderness or rises up, he will never forget his skills.

The biggest sin in their eyes is that they see the wasteland, and they all believe that they are not panic when they have food in their hands. This simple concept is extremely popular among the rebel army.

Even if war is war, for them all units of measurement of war are food.

In this chaotic world in England, people can be recruited again when they are gone, and there is no shortage of people who are willing to join in the recruitment area for a while. But if the food is gone, they will definitely lose the battle.

"What you eat is the most important thing. There are potatoes in Ailan. The port is built. When the fleet comes, they ask someone to buy them and plant them."

Zhao Can looked at the direction where the Mersey River flowed into the sea, and taught by words and deeds to his little apprentice, who was born in Ailan: "For us, there are only three things in the world, food, medicinal materials, and building materials."

Meng Xin tried to think of something that did not belong to the three categories in his mind. In the end, he not only unexpectedly, but also thought of the opposite lime.

It is both food, medicinal materials, and building materials, a true trinity.

"There are only two types of people who are alive, and they can eat directly; they need to find some ways to clean up before they can eat."

Meng Xin, who had just thought about it, could no longer agree with this. It was because the coverage of ingredients and medicinal materials was too wide that he could not think of anything that did not belong to these three categories.

Then I fully agree with the general's words.

After all, he had seen the military doctor who came out of the Dongyang Banner Army in Shuntian'an Minyi Army, and there was nothing in the world that could not be used as medicine.

If so, grind it.

Looking at Meng Xin's eager eyes, Zhao Can really feel that he could not teach anything, so he simply said: "When I go back and Prefect Tang will send a tutor to the Hundred Houses of the Eel Harbor to build a Chinese literature school. You can learn more and ask the teacher if you have any questions."

"There is no burden in my heart. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. What is the left eye twitching, and what is the right eye twitching?"

Meng Xin frowned and said in certainty: "Is there a disaster?"

Zhao Can smiled: "Damn it, you have the final say. My right eye twitches my life and my life are not the same as the sky."
