The reform of agricultural mechanization not only brings about the improvement of efficiency, but also brings the liberation of a large number of agricultural labor, so that more farmers can go to the city and enter other jobs to create more value. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although agriculture is very important, it has to be said that from the perspective of social development, the added value of agriculture is indeed very low.

"A one-to-one efficiency boost."

Tang En spread his hands: "This means that as long as we provide three agricultural magic energy machines to one farm, we can liberate the labor force of a thousand peasant households." ”

Speaking of this, Donn paused for a moment and added: "Of course, only when we make use of these liberated labor forces can we be regarded as truly effective development, and if we cannot properly provide jobs for these unemployed peasants, they will only become a factor of social instability." ”

Aurelia came to her senses: "You mean, due to the emergence of these magical machines, there is no need for so much labor in agriculture now, so you want to guide them into the factories you want to support?" ”

"Yes."

Don snapped his fingers: "The development of industry is inseparable from labor, although now we have technology to replace those workers, but I don't want to do that, only by accumulating experience in the work and stimulating their innovative spirit, this race will be alive, everything depends on one person, and in the end it will only lead to a dead end." ”

"Okay, I'll just listen to you, anyway, it's going to be a good harvest soon, maybe this year's grain production can give us an answer."

Tang En smiled slightly and said, "Believe me, this year's grain production will give you a big surprise." ”

Although during the spring ploughing, civil strife broke out in the Ilrus Empire, which affected the cultivation work in many areas, but later after Tang En succeeded to the throne, he remedied it in time, coupled with the rapid promotion of agricultural magic energy machinery, the final cultivated area was even more than last year, coupled with the use of magic energy sprinkler irrigation machine, so that the drought situation in the farmland has been well handled, and this year is expected to be a rare harvest year.

"And the one from Hohenheim."

Fiona reminded Don.

"Oh, yes."

Don clapped his hands and said to Aurelia with a smile: "Regarding the matter of food, we have now obtained an alchemy technique called Plant Growth Catalytic Liquid, which can not only increase production, but also shorten the growth time of plants-"

"It can't be!"

Olena, who had been sitting quietly next to her, widened her eyes: "This is completely contrary to common sense!" ”

"Nothing is impossible, the druid's life magic can achieve the same effect."

Tang En spread his hands: "It's just that this time it's the power of alchemy, Angus is working on this technology, and when we figure it out and officially put it into production, it's likely that you will see wheat, vegetables and fruits that are three or even four crops a year." ”

Olena was shocked, if it is really as Don said, the use of plant growth catalyst can greatly shorten the planting and harvesting time of farmland, coupled with the large-scale popularization of agricultural magic energy machinery, I am afraid that in the next year, the food production capacity of the Ilrus Empire will increase several times, and those poor people at the bottom who are hungry every day can also create more value after they can eat enough - this means that the Illus Empire will become richer and stronger!

Feeding everyone may sound simple, but it is a difficult problem that has not been solved since ancient times.

Not only the Ilrus Empire, but even Ronitant, who is very wealthy and has a per capita income far exceeding that of the Ilrus Empire, has not been able to solve this problem at present.

It has only been one hundred and sixty-seven years since the end of the Second Chaos Invasion War, which seems like yesterday for the immortal species, and for the short-lived human race, it has become history.

But neither the immortal nor the short-lived species have recovered from that tragic war, for example, the Naga and the Angry Fishmen, who once occupied the entire Abyssal Sea, are now only a small area of Vaskir, and the dragons who once ruled the entire sky are now quietly resting in the heart of the dragon......

The fragmented human kingdom was once in the midst of war, and it was only in these years that it was a little more peaceful, but the sudden decline in population during the war has brought great difficulties to the development of society, and the lack of population in basic agricultural labor has made the production of food insufficient, and more than half of the population has not had enough to eat all year round, and there are forty percent. The population has been in a state of hunger, only one in ten. People live a life of food and clothing without worry.

Aristocrat? Those aristocrats who occupied the resources of society were, of course, exceptions.

Therefore, whoever can feed all the people under his rule will already be called a famous king of the ages.

In the past, Ronitant was the country that came closest to solving the problem of food and clothing for the whole people, but now the Ilrus Empire has faintly shown signs of overtaking.

Victor's wish has not been fulfilled all along, and after Don succeeded to the throne, only half a year has passed, and he has already seen hope, if he is given a few more years, maybe the Illuth Empire will really return to the peak of Purandal.

No, not perhaps.

Olenna looked at Donn's side face and remembered what he had said that night in the wilderness.

After all, he was a hero sent by the gods to save the world.

How could the problem of a human country be difficult for him?

"You don't have to worry about food, all in all, industrial transformation is imperative, and it is impossible to become a strong country by relying on agriculture alone."

Donne's words resonated with Fiona, who had experienced the changes in Ellington over the past year, and deeply understood the impact of the magic industry on society, with higher productivity, higher quality, more jobs, and greater wealth.

Compared with the low-value social activities of agriculture, the production of the magic energy industry requires more labor to participate, and these jobs not only allow those people to master more production skills in addition to farming, but also give them the opportunity to obtain more income, so that the basic solidified wealth has the opportunity to circulate to the lower class.

It was because the workers had a lot of income that Ellington's economy was so vibrant.

After listening to Don explain the meaning of wealth to the superiors, Fiona and Aurelia have changed their horizons and understand Donn's thoughts very well.

Aurelia nodded: "And then tailor the development direction and support according to the local conditions of each city?" ”

"It's not simple and direct support, it will only develop their dependence."

Tang En shook his head and said: "My opinion is that we only do policy guidance in the direction of the market, and as for the good or bad of their development, the market itself decides, and we do not interfere in market economic activities unless necessary." ”

Aurelia asked, "What is necessary?" ”

Tang En smiled slightly: "For example, the previous time when we copied the Cadir family's magic crystal mine. ”

Aurelia and the others instantly understood.

After agreeing with Aurelia on the way forward, Don and Fiona returned to Ellington without stopping.

"Your Majesty."

The two ran into Tina, who hurriedly handed a document to Done: "The traffic renovation at Casparmyburg has been completed, and this is the list of local drivers recruited." ”

Don glanced at the document and handed it to Fiona, then encouraged Tina, "Good job, come on." ”

Tina's face was full of shy smiles: "It's Tina's honor to help Your Majesty...... By the way, Sister Fiona, the man you sent to Bein has returned, waiting to report. ”

"I see, you go get busy first."

After saying that, Fiona and Don went straight back to the study of the lord's mansion: "Call Pylos in." ”

A moment later, the maid brought Pylos into the study, and when Pyros saw that Don was also in the study, he was immediately flattered and immediately knelt down on one knee: "Pylos has seen His Majesty Donne!" ”

"Get up."

Don stared at him for a moment, then his puzzled gaze fell on Fiona.

"It's an employee of our Datang Chamber of Commerce."

Fiona explained with a smile: "After seeing the last public opinion-oriented returns, I fell in love with this tool...... This time, the recruitment at Bain was not going well, and a lot of the labor there was controlled by the textile mills, so I sent him to Bain to build momentum for us...... Tell me, what's going on? ”

Pylos perked up and stood up straight: "Report, I am fortunate to have successfully spread the news of the bus and the bus driver, and now the low-level residents of Bein know the benefits, as far as I know, there are now more than fifty people who are interested in signing up, and people's resistance to becoming a bus driver has decreased a lot." ”

Fiona frowned slightly: "Fifty people...... In Bein's case, fifty people is a bit less. ”

"This is just the beginning, don't rush too much, as time goes on, more and more people will want to join."

Don smiled and patted her on the head, and Fiona blushed and gave him a disgruntled look.

Suddenly doing this in front of the staff made her very shameless.

Fiona looked up and saw that Pylos was staring down at her toes—he didn't see anything.

Fiona nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job, go down, your prize will increase by fifty gold coins this month." ”

Pylos was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, President, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

After seeing the joyful Pylos leave, Don said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to become so cunning now, and learn to use these little tricks." ”

"Didn't you learn it all? You're far from me. ”

Fiona rolled her eyes, the longer she was in contact with Donn, the more she understood his true nature.

Anyone who thinks he is a simple and kind old good man is very wrong.

Obviously, Fiona was deceived by him in the first place.

While recruitment, bus drivers, and traffic police training were in full swing, Angus, who had been hiding in the Hohenheim Library, suddenly came back with good news. (To be continued.) )
