Chapter 1188: Wild Country (II.)

Most of the conservative countrymen take the saying "ten birds in the forest is better than one bird in hand". Farmers in the Far East have every reason to be more concerned about paying less grain during the autumn harvest than about the unowned wastelands, even if it is just to pay less land contributions, and they will be happy to see the Kolas government hold out for a few more years, and they will not care much about the "overall planning of land and resources" and other major policies.

The next two days were held, during which the Cabinet discussed the report submitted by Yodl and Roland in depth, and its views on the prospects for land reform changed from pessimistic to cautious. The cabinet authorized Yoder to take full charge of the follow-up work of the land reform, and Roland, the "golden balm" "assistant to the prime minister", was responsible for coordinating the work.

At the end of the day's meeting, Roland stretched his waist and couldn't help humming the old song that crossed his former hometown: I am a brick of the revolution, and I will move it wherever I need it......

After a short break of a few days in Krasbourg, on 16 February, Roland and Jodel embarked on another long journey, reaching the "Land of Fields", the headquarters of the Far Eastern druid society "Harvest Ring".

One of the most basic purposes of Roland's rural construction and agricultural development plan is to promote agricultural labor productivity and increase crop yield. If this goal is not achieved, land reform will also lose its meaning. On Earth, the agricultural revolution was premised on technological progress, which included not only the improvement of farming methods, but also the cultivation of high-yield crops, the widespread use of fertilizers and agricultural machinery, and the construction of water conservancy and irrigation systems.

The level of agriculture in the world of Varess is basically still at the level of the era of feudal lords on the earth. The clarion call for the magical industrial revolution has been sounded, but the innovation of industrial technology is still in its infancy, and the impact on agricultural production is even less obvious. For example, the large harvester powered by the Magic Steam Engine was invented ten years ago, but 99.9 percent of the farmers had never heard of it, and the few farmers who were lucky enough to use it were probably not happy - this expensive and bulky big creature was so easy to break down that the average farmer wouldn't repair it, which was a big problem!

Roland is not an expert in agricultural machinery, and it is impossible to mechanize the state-owned farms in the Far East overnight like magic. Considering that the agricultural machinery technology in reality is not yet mature, and there is no chemical fertilizer available, only with the help of the "Harvest Ring", each state-owned farm is equipped with at least one senior druid to guide agricultural production, develop high-efficiency fertilizers, cultivate high-yield varieties, and when necessary, use natural magic to resist natural disasters and expel pests, the agricultural reform in the Far East can be effective as soon as possible.

At the beginning of the "Paradise Island" in the land of metal dragons, Roland and Valentina agreed that as long as he could establish a new regime in the Far East, Sister Golden Dragon and all the Green Druids under her command would promise to serve the new government and work together for the common goal of developing agriculture in the Far East.

Now that the government of Kolas has been formed, and agricultural reform will be the focus of Roland's work for the next period of time, it is time to make an official visit to the "Land of Fields" and ask Sister Jinlong to fulfill her promise.

At the beginning of the Paradise Island, Roland and Valentina also had an indescribable intimate encounter that went beyond friendship, and the relationship between the two became extremely complicated, as they were both political allies and confidants. Roland never took the initiative to disclose this to others, and even his father didn't know about it, but when Lyudmila tentatively asked him if he had an extraordinary relationship with Valentina, he couldn't bear to deceive his girlfriend, so he could only keep silent apologetically.

Originally, he thought that Lyudmila would also ask to accompany him on this trip to the "Land of Greens", but unexpectedly, the giant girl took the initiative to stay in Krasbourg.

At first, Roland suspected that she was testing herself, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond. Lyudmila laughed when she saw his nervous expression, and her words were both understanding and helpless.

"Poor fellow, Far Easterners can see the affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince in the newspaper every day, and they really think that you are a love saint, and I am afraid that I will be very disappointed if I see you like a thief."

Roland shook his head lonely, "It's better to disappoint those spectators than to disappoint you." ”

A dark shadow drifted through Lyudmila's bright eyes, and she smiled reluctantly and said: "It's too embarrassing for me to say that I don't care at all, but I have to open a little, you can be regarded as sacrificing for the country, right?" Otherwise, why should the druid community unreservedly help the development of agriculture in the Far East? I am not very noble, but I am not jealous enough to obstruct the affairs of the country, and ignore the hunger of millions of my compatriots because of food shortages, you know, that is not my character. ”

"It's because I know you too well that I feel ashamed," Roland smiled bitterly, "I'm a fart 'sacrifice for the country', and it's you who really sacrifices." ”

Lyudmila almost held back her tears and glared at him angrily: "Enough! It's rare that I want to be a little virtuous, can't you give me a chance? Get out of here, or you'll be miserable when I regret it! ”

Roland was kicked out by his sister-in-law, boarded the airship with mixed feelings, and had no energy to chat with yodel on the way, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The airship departed from Krasbourg in the early morning and sailed at full speed for eight hours, arriving at the area of the Balle Volcano at 4 p.m., the headquarters of the "Ring of Harvest", "Greenland Village", in the jungle at the southern foot of the volcano. Three years ago, when he traveled north, he once traveled through this poisonous jungle, and it was at that time that he first met Valentina, who was incarnated as a five-colored deer, but he did not know that the "Green Country", the sacred place of the Far Eastern Druids, was hidden in the depths of the jungle.

"It was the great oak tree, which the druids regarded as a sacred manifestation of the spirit of nature, and we landed near it." With the destination in sight, Jennifer Edric, an airship pilot who had trained in the "Land of Fields", was so excited that she said to Roland and Yodel, "When I was a child, my father took me and Zehir to practice in the "Land of Fields", and I was very impressed by the sacred oak tree. ”
