"It turns out that the resident druid is a young lady, so it's no wonder." Yodel and Valentina looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Roland rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and couldn't help but roar in his heart: "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding!" My friendship with Tonya is as innocent as ice and snow! ”

It is a pity that His Royal Highness's amorous reputation has long spread to thousands of households through the purely apocryphalic knights in the newspapers, and even Anthony Fogel came to join in the fun, and under the pseudonym of the "Far Eastern Evening News" supplement serialized a widely sought after "The Prince's Adventure: Encounter with Akron" by the burghers. Roland was forced to become a living artistic figure in the pen of the literati and inkmen, and when people talked about His Royal Highness's female friends, they would naturally associate it with peach-colored scandals, so that even His Excellency the Minister was not exempt from vulgarity.

Roland could understand Yodel's misunderstanding, but why did Valentina have to pretend to be confused? Sister Jinlong's careful thinking is really hard to guess.

"Two hundred pilot projects have been delineated, limited to one year, and if it is confirmed that this method has achieved good results after one year, we will summarize and improve the problems that arise in actual operation, and then promote the successful experience to other rural areas."

Roland's cautious approach won the praise of both Valentina and Yodel. Valentina is the most authoritative agrarian reformer in the Far East and even in the whole of Vares, and Yodel is not the kind of ungrounded bureaucrat, who has published many blockbuster articles on rural and agricultural problems in the Far East, and has also conducted agricultural experiments on his own plantations. In carrying out agricultural reform, we are afraid that we will be in a hurry to achieve results, and we are afraid that we will rush to the top, otherwise if the reform fails, a nationwide grain harvest failure and even a famine will ensue, and the consequences will be unimaginably serious.

Roland chose to try a new agricultural management model on a small scale in a pilot way, and even if the experiment proved to be a failure a year later, only 200 farms would be damaged, and the losses were manageable enough not to jeopardize the ruling foundation of the Kolas regime. This is undoubtedly a wise approach. What surprised Jodel the most was that Roland was not the kind of nobleman who had received the education of the monarch since he was a child, and he completely relied on his own ability to assist his father in seizing the world.

Valentina knows Roland better, and even vaguely guesses his origin, so it is not surprising that Roland shows a mature and steady temperament that does not match her age, in fact, this temperament is a major factor that makes her fall in love with Roland and take the initiative to develop an intimate relationship with Roland beyond the boundaries of friendship, and Roland's major policies after the founding of the country also make her glad that she chose the right partner, although she tries to hide it in front of others, but every time she makes eye contact with Roland, she can't help but beat her heart faster.

Turning her head away from Roland's gaze, Valentina tried her best to look as indifferent as usual, pointing to the map and saying: "Of the 200 pilots just selected, only half of the villages have druids stationed, not to mention the local village chief, plus the priests and sheriffs selected by the government, to form a complete commune leadership team; As for the villages where there are no druids, it will take a lot of effort to form a commune leadership. ”

Valentina put herself in the right place. Excluding her personal relationship with Roland, her position in the Kolas government was only that of the Cabinet Agricultural Advisor, responsible for advising the government on agricultural development, and she had no intention of establishing herself as king in the Far East, so it was inconvenient for her to meddle in matters outside her purview.

As for the implementation of the village commune, she was only responsible for training and selecting the village druids for the Kolas government, and in the future, the "Harvest Ring" would be transformed into an agricultural university rather than an autonomous community during the imperial era, and the druids sent out to serve as the grassroots leaders of the commune would also be transformed from her protégés into civil servants in the Kolas government.

Valentina is from a political family on Paradise Island, and she has a keen sense of politics, and she is very clear about the stakes. How to organize the villagers in the pilot areas and establish communes and farms as soon as possible depends on whether the work of the Krasbourg authorities is in place, and she herself is inconvenient to intervene, so she can only suggest that Roland and Yodele go to the countryside and personally publicize the national policy to the villagers.

The 200 communes will be piloted to establish 200 state-owned farms, with an average of 20,000 to 30,000 mu of cultivated land, with a total of 5 million mu of cultivated land occupied by the 200 farms, half of which will be rice and half of the wheat land.

The druid's work certainly helps to increase the yield of crops (yield per unit area), but by what extent?

This is a question that is not easy to answer.

Having worked in agriculture in the Far East for more than 40 years, and has operated nearly 1,000 farms, large and small, no one has a better say on this issue than her.

There are a total of 1,864 druids registered in the "Harvest Ring", but only half of them currently live in the Far East, and the rest either go to the New World to open "sub-bases" or have their own family business to take care of like the Edric family. Druids below level 5 belong to the apprentice druids, and they all practice in the "Land of Fields", and only druids above level 5 are qualified to reside in the countryside to guide agricultural production, such as Tonya in Valley Village is a typical example, when counting the impact of druids on agricultural productivity, only these druids above level 5 have statistical value.

According to statistics available to Valgentina, the village-based druid's contribution to local agriculture is positively correlated with his occupational level, and the average yield of rural farmland under his guidance can increase by two to five times. Even by the lowest standards, a Level 5 Green Druid can bring about a 100% increase in production on the farms he serves, which is quite impressive!

Valentina helped Roland delineate two hundred commune pilots, half of which already had druids stationed, and the rest of the pilots would also send druids above level 5 to guide agricultural production. In a year's time, if these communes succeed in a bumper harvest in the experiment, in addition to the part of the land tax paid in accordance with the law, a large amount of surplus grain will be sold to the state treasury, which can not only meet the needs of urban residents, but even have surplus grain for export - this will undoubtedly cause great shock and excitement to the surrounding villages that follow the traditional farming mode, and then the Kolas government will not need to go to great lengths to promote the successful experience, and other villages will take the initiative to ask for the establishment of communes and the formation of state-owned farms.
