After a day of investigation, the three girls took the bus back to Crossbell, and then they met Fang Zheng again in the office.

"I have read your report."

Fang Zheng put down the report in his hand and nodded to the three girls in front of him.

"So, now tell me your own opinions. Who comes first?"

"I have a question."

As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, Irene raised her hand in a hurry, while Fang Zheng looked at her with interest and then nodded.

"Okay, you go ahead."

"Mr. Founder, I would like to ask, why did Crossbell declare that all the land belongs to the state? According to my investigation, many residents of Mainz are worried about this. They are afraid that if this happens,

This land no longer belongs to them, and they may face the threat of being driven away at any time... I think this is the main reason for this conflict. Because it can be seen from the conversations with the residents of the town,

They already had doubts about Crossbell's policy, and your plan to forcibly expropriate the mines only increased their uneasiness..."

"good question."

After hearing Ellein's inquiry, Fang Zheng once again glanced at the girl in front of him with long blond hair, a beautiful face, and seriousness.

"So have you read the relevant policy explanations?"

"Yes... The New Deal in Crossbell shows that the land ownership in Crossbell belongs to the state, and individuals only have land use rights and house ownership... But I can't understand, aren't houses built on land? You do this

If you do, it will only make people more uneasy..."

"Hehehe, that's true."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"I don't deny that your concerns are reasonable, because in this way, I do have the power and means to forcibly evict them from this land. For example, I want to plan a piece of land for public use, but

If they refuse to give in, I will use coercive measures at this time."

"this……………"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Ailein was stunned. She originally thought that Fang Zheng would explain a few words, maybe her idea was wrong, but she did not expect that Fang Zheng would admit it directly? However, before Ailein could wait,

After reacting, Fang Zheng asked again.

"So, which one do you think is better, land owned by the state or land owned by individuals?"

"Of course it belongs to me personally!"

This time Ellein gave the answer without hesitation.

"In this way, anyone can own their own land and real estate. They have a home protected by law and don't have to worry about it... Isn't this wonderful?"

"Well, it is indeed beautiful."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"If I were just a businessman, then I would agree with this."

"………………?"

"Miss Ellein, I remember... you are from Calvard, right? If I remember correctly, the law of Calvard is that land is owned by individuals?"

"Yes."

"Then let me ask you, have you ever seen any homeless people on Calvard Street?"

"………………"

This time, Ailein was speechless. She was stunned for a while, and then she stammered.

"Well...there are indeed homeless people, but every country has similar...and most of them are due to business failure and other reasons, I think..."

"Hehehe."

After listening to Ailein's explanation, Fang Zheng chuckled. Then he stretched out his hand and knocked on the window.

"Miss Ellein, do you know what is the biggest difference between me and the following people?"

"…………? Sorry, Mr. Fangzheng, I’m not very clear about this."

"It's simple. I am richer than them."

"…………………………"

Perhaps Fang Zheng said it too bluntly, but Ellein, Alfin and Miaojie all showed subtle expressions at this moment.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth. And this means that as long as I have money, I can buy the land I want. If it is in Calvad, I can definitely buy one

A neighborhood or half a city."

"But...most people don't sell their homes just for some money."

"Of course, but I have money, I can use various methods to harass them. For example, I can first buy the land of other people who are willing to sell their houses, and then cut off the roads of those stubborn people and turn their homes into isolated islands.

, at that time, do you think they will sell it or not? Or I can give them usury loans, and if they can’t pay back the money then, won’t the land belong to me?”

"This...this is too much!"

Hearing this, Ellein clenched her fists hard.

"This is wrong!"

"From a moral perspective, but from a legal perspective, since the land already belongs to me, I can do whatever I want, and I can also build a wall on it to surround other people who don't want to move. To

At that time, it will not be up to them to choose whether to move or not."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng spread his hands and looked at Ellein with a smile.

"You see, this is the power of capital, the power of money. Miss Alleyn, rich people and ordinary people are not the same kind of people. When you say that anyone can own their own property and land, they can feel at ease on it.

When you were living, I think you might not have considered this."

"this………"

This time, Ailein was speechless, but she soon came to her senses.

"But what is the difference between this and nationalizing the land?"

"Of course, it's very simple. The greed of capitalists is that they need to obtain more power. As the ruler of a country, I don't need to increase capital through this method. On the contrary, I need to coordinate internally. Although

Theoretically speaking, I can indeed drive those people away, forcibly demolish their houses and occupy the land. But what about the people themselves? Rich people don't need to consider these issues, they just need to occupy the land and drive people away.

But. But the country cannot. As you said, if they lose their residence, they will become a factor of instability in society and may even cause criminal incidents or terrorist activities. As the ruler of the country, I will certainly not allow it.

This kind of thing has happened in China.”

"Woo...Woo..."

Facing Fang Zheng's answer, Ailein frowned and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

"And in this way, as a ruler, I can also exercise my rights and give justice to the people. If the kind of thing I described before happens in Crossbell, I can definitely judge their actions as invalid and illegal.

Because in Crossbell, they only have land use rights, not ownership. And when purchasing land, they must indicate how the land will be used. For example, fields used for farming cannot be used to dig holes or build walls...otherwise

It's a violation of the law. This means they can't do whatever they want."

"That's what I said, but..."

"Think about it carefully."

Looking at Ellein, who still had a distressed look on his face, Fang Zheng chuckled. He had stayed in Calvard for the first time, so he naturally knew the situation there. To put it bluntly, Calvard was very similar to the United States, both advocating individual rights.

and freedom, which is why Kalvad's commercial trade is prosperous, but extremely dark - basically countless outsiders who go to Kalvad to do business suffer losses and are deceived.

For example, Ling's father is one of them.

And Ailein has been growing up in this environment, and her thinking mode must be the same as that of capitalism. When she suddenly heard this statement, it was simply a shattering of her outlook on life, a complete subversion, and it was natural that she would not be able to accept it for a while.

So Ailein frowned and stepped aside, and then the second person who came over was Miaojie.

"Mr. Founder, I have talked with the families of the miners in the town of Mainz. They are very happy that their husbands and fathers do not need to continue to risk their lives in the mines, but they are also worried about their next source of livelihood. Many

Miners say that the new machines are too complex and difficult for them to learn and master..."

"You have also seen the solution I provided."

"Yes, miners who are willing to continue working can apply for new positions and study. If they cannot adapt, they can leave their jobs and retire early. You will receive a pension and severance pay..."

"Yes, that's it."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"As you said, although new mining machines are more convenient, they are not something ordinary miners can master casually. If they really feel that they cannot master them, then they can find another way to make a living. In addition to giving

In addition to a sum of money, they will also give them various preferential policies, such as introducing them to other jobs, and tax discounts if they open a store."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Miaojie's blue eyes blinked, and then she looked at Fang Zheng with a strange curiosity.

"But what if they accidentally spend all the money?"

Facing Miaojie's somewhat probing inquiry, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"That is their own choice, Miss Miaojie. I can guarantee that this money is enough for them to live a relatively comfortable life for a long time. During this time, they continue to look for new ones.

Whether they work or live and drink, that's their own business. If they work hard and have a new start, then that's great. But if they live and drink and squander without a plan...that's their freedom too."
