Chapter 18 Reform Starts with Oneself

Now, when this sample gun appeared in front of you, Anna frowned slightly: The gun is really rough and has a very ugly appearance, especially the wooden parts on the gun, which are obviously not polished and are bumpy.

It seemed that I felt Anna's dissatisfied eyes, Tokarev coughed lightly and commented, "Your Highness, this gun is semi-manually made, so it looks a bit simple, but this does not affect its shooting effect. The bullet capacity is 8 rounds, and the bullet is a new 7.62mm caliber. The ammunition supply method is quite distinctive. The steel leaky magazine with double rows of 8 rounds is pressed into the magazine compartment from the top of the receiver. When the last bullet is shot, the gun is hung in the empty box, and the magazine will be automatically ejected from the magazine compartment by the clip retractor, which will make a sound, reminding the soldiers to reload the bullet."

Anna knew that Tokarev's long speech had begun again, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Thank you for your hard work these days, Mr. Tokarev, you look a lot thinner and have bad spirits. So, I will hand over the sample to my guards and let them try it. If there is any problem, please worry about improving it."

"?" Tokarev closed his mouth, touched his face, and said miserably, "It seems that I have stayed up late for too long."

Anna looked at Tokarev, who had dark circles and pale face, shook her head, "Mr. Tokarev, remember: the body is the most important thing. You are very talented, but you should have heard the word "die young". I hope you can maintain enough rest and entertainment time. This is the command!"

"I understand, Your Highness."

"That's good. From today on, I will arrange for my maid, Abiya, to take charge of your three meals a day, so that you can work with peace of mind." Anna said.

"Thank you for your care, Your Highness!" No matter how slow Tokarev was, he understood what Anna meant: send someone to supervise him.

Anna knows very well that a workaholic like Tokarev relies on her youth and work day and night, her life is extremely irregular. Anna loves talent and cherishes talent even more. She doesn't want this famous designer to die suddenly.

"Your Highness, this is the information you want." Abiya placed a stack of documents on Anna's desk.

"Well, thank you." Anna picked up the information and glanced at it a few times, exclaiming, "It's too much, it's 20,000 Russian acres." Anna looked up and asked Abia, "Is there really so much fiefdom? Could it be that the information was printed incorrectly?"

"That's right, as the eldest daughter of your highness, you don't have many fiefs. Your younger brother, Your Highness, has more than 50,000 Russian acres of land."

"Oh!" Anna didn't expect that the sick boy had so much land, and asked again, "What about my father?"

"His Majesty the Emperor has 120,000 Russian acres of land." Abia's words hit Anna again.

"So, as my personal maid and also serving as my housekeeper, I ask you, Abiya, what is the income from my private land?" Anna narrowed her eyes.

Abiya didn't expect that his little master suddenly became so enthusiastic about his fiefdom, but was just a little surprised, and then replied, "Last year, I harvested a total of 3,000 rye, 2,000 rye, and 600 sir fruits."

"How do you remember so clearly?" Anna was surprised now.

"As the steward of Your Highness, I must be clear about this little thing." Abia was like a conscientious housewife at this time, and patiently took stock of Anna's assets. "In addition to these 20,000 Russian acres, you have more than 1,000 hired farmers, several real estates near Petersburg. In addition, from your birth to now, your annual salary is 1.5 million rubles, most of which are in the Royal Bank."

Unexpectedly, she was still a little rich man. Anna understood what the 1.5 million rubles was: in this era, an ordinary Russian farmer spent only more than 100 rubles throughout the year, and business owners in some big cities had total assets of only a few hundred thousand rubles to several million rubles.

Since she was reborn, Anna would never be a rice worm and wait for death. She painted a broad blueprint for herself in her heart. Before going to bed every day, Anna would systematically find some economic books to study carefully, including Marx's "Capital", Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" that can be read in this era, as well as the famous economist Keynes, and also consult a large amount of information about the Stalin model, the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the Roosevelt's New Deal in the United States, and the Nazis in Germany's economic crisis.

After understanding the 200-year history of capitalism, Anna understood the relationship between the market and the government: when the economy is in a depression, only a strong government can help the country survive the crisis. Germany and Japan in the late 19th century, Roosevelt, Hitler and Lenin's successor Stalin, both faced a recession. Only when the government strongly intervened in the economy can the country be prosperous and the people be strengthened!

In connection with the current Russia, although it is generally not as good as Western Europe and the United States, Russia is a big country with vast land and a large population, rich resources, strong people, and very potential. The Soviet Union in history is the best proof: from the 1917 Revolution to the conquering of Berlin in 1945, it took only 28 years to become a superpower from a second-rate country and dominate the Eurasian continent for half a century. Anna is very confident. Since she has a magical weapon like a beautiful life system, why can't Russia's future glory come soon?

There is only one way to change Russia's current situation: change. The so-called "poor means change, change, change means staying open, and staying open. There are two ways to change: reform and revolution.

Revolution? Just kidding, how could Anna revolutionize her own life, and would not allow Bolsheviks like Lenin to revolutionize. What remains is reform. Successful reforms such as Shang Yang's reform, the Meiji Restoration in Japan, etc. gave Anna confidence, but failed reforms such as the Reform of 1898, and the failed reforms in Egypt also made Anna realize the many obstacles to reform. For example, in Russia now, the biggest resistance to reform is those landlords and nobles who occupy a large amount of land and peasants. Anna now has no real power, so she can only start from herself.

Anna sets herself a short-term goal: to break away from the landlord class in the shortest time and become a farmer who hires agricultural workers to farm using machines.

According to the method of starting a company, Anna appointed Abiya as the chief manager, and herself as the chairman. Anna's first task for Abiya was to buy some agricultural machinery and hire several workers who could operate the machinery.

"That's it, the fee is deducted from my 1.5 million deposit, and it must be done!" Anna reminded.

"I understand, Your Highness." Abia left after saluting.
