"Your Majesty, we must be careful with this question! Most of the land in the Imperium was in the hands of the landowners. They would never agree to sell their land to the government of the Imperium.
Moreover, even if they wanted to buy these lands, the empire's finances could not afford that much money!”
Prime Minister Pobedo Noschaev frowned.
"Yes, Your Majesty. To buy the land of the entire empire, it would require a large sum of money. The empire's finances simply could not afford that much money. Even though the Ministry of Supervision had recently investigated corruption and handed over a lot. However, there was still a long way to go to implement this plan!”Minister of Finance Ivangolymekin said.
"Your Majesty, it is understandable that you want to change the current situation in the countryside of the Imperium and let the serfs live a good life. However, this had been formed over hundreds of years and could not be resolved overnight.”The Minister of Agriculture, Demirrit, was also worried.
Mihail knew that the ministers did not support his plan. They thought it was too rash.
But Michael had his own ideas.
The current Russian Empire was like a patient who was beyond cure. If they did not take decisive measures, it would only become more and more serious.
Moreover, time was not on the Russian Empire's side.
The Sun Never Sets Empire was looking for trouble with the Russian Empire all over the world. They were not only frantically encircling the Russian Empire, but also preventing the Russian Empire from expanding outward. At the same time, he was also actively grooming opponents for the Russian Empire.
If this dragged on, the situation would be even more disadvantageous for the Russian Empire.
"Gentlemen, I know the current situation. However, we can't drag this on any longer. He had to cut the Gordian knot and solve this problem in one step.
I've already made up my mind. Just follow the plan and implement it!
As for the problems you are worried about, they can all be solved. In terms of funds, besides the stolen money that the Ministry of Supervision had handed over, the assets and wealth owned by the royal family of the Imperium could also be lent to the government of the Imperium temporarily. In particular, the land owned by the royal family of the Imperium could be donated to the government of the Imperium for free. As for the land of the landowners, they had to sell it to the government of the Imperium no matter what.
Of course, there was simply too much land to buy. The Imperial Government could only buy it at half the market price. Furthermore, the funds to purchase these lands would be paid to the landowners in installments. As for the specifics, whether it will be divided into five years or ten years, you can discuss a plan!”
Mihail was very determined on this issue.
The ministers of the empire also felt Michael's determination.
Michael was even willing to donate the assets of the royal family for free.
This was absolutely unique among the past tsars of the Russian Empire.
However, they still believed that they had to buy the land at half the market price. At the same time, the landlord would never pay for the land in installments.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to think to know that those landowners will definitely not agree!”Prime Minister Pobedo Noschaev was still frowning.
Mihail nodded. He knew very well that the people of the Russian Empire had a deep-rooted attachment to their land. They would never give up their land so easily.
"If they are not willing to sell the land to the government of the Imperium, then the Imperium cannot be blamed. At the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they were currently wiping out the dissidents on a large scale. Since those landowners were unwilling to support the work of the government of the Imperium, they must have colluded with the Bolsheviks! He would just arrest them for interrogation and confiscate their wealth!”Michael said indifferently.
The ministers were dumbfounded. They did not expect that this could be done. This was a blatant framing!
These ministers had to admit that although the new Tsar was young, he was really ruthless!
This was also why these officials were surprised.
One had to know that in another time and space, Bu Dang was even more ruthless than him.
After the collapse of the Russian Empire and the victory of the Bolsheviks, the nobles, landowners, and capitalists of the Russian Empire were almost completely massacred by the Bolsheviks. Their wealth was naturally confiscated by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks also relied on this money to win the civil war and intervene in the war, so that they could industrialize Russia.
It seemed that Michael was already very kind.
"Your Majesty, if we do this, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of chaos. If things went wrong, the entire empire would be thrown into chaos.”Minister of Agriculture Demirrit was a little worried.
"Don't worry, there won't be any chaos. The army will ensure the stability of the empire. I'll have the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army take action together. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army would be responsible for suppressing anyone who dared to resist or go against the Empire's decision! In a short period of time, the empire might be thrown into chaos. However, in the long run, this was very beneficial to the empire! Therefore, we must spare no effort to push forward this plan and ensure its success!”Mihail was determined.
The other ministers knew that the Tsar had already made up his mind, so they could only stop persuading him.
