Chapter 620: The first step of the plan is scattered

It's summer again, and if it had been before, the farmers would have been struggling to survive this summer.

After surviving the rainy spring, and the summer when the heat is unbearable, the land exposed to the sun all day long will soon dry up, and if you don't irrigate in time, you may lose all your efforts, and there will be no harvest for a year.

At least, the farmers outside the Principality of the Howling Winds are still the same.

They are still looking forward to a rain from God, not too much, as long as it can rain for a long enough time in half a month.

But summer is the stage of the scorching sun, how can the sun be the only one, how can the dark clouds and rain and fog steal its limelight.

However, in the Principality of Howling Winds, the canals that traverse the fields provide enough water for irrigation to the farmers.

The state-of-the-art dragon tail cart and a variety of new farming tools have provided convenience for farmers to make their farming easier.

And this summer, their maid chief sent some 'instructors' to guide them in planting 'cash crops', and I heard that if they could grow these things, they would be able to make a fortune this year.

The farmers were all enthusiastic about this, and they believed in their maid masters, and even more so that they could lead them to prosperity.

"How much do these things cost......

The Principality of Grief 'invites' the lords of the surrounding territories to visit, so the lords of the surrounding territories have also given face to this powerful but not very famous principality, and sent their respective butlers or knights to come here to learn advanced territory construction knowledge.

In the past, they had only heard of the reputation of this principality that had just become independent from the land of mages—and certainly not a good reputation—and had never been here to see it with their own eyes, but now that they had come in person, they were taken aback as soon as they arrived.

When the butlers of the nobles of the surrounding territories and the knights of the canonization first came to the Duchy of Sorrow, they were stopped by the wide and straight road that suddenly appeared in front of them.

They had heard of the ways of the principality before, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I realize that my previous conjectures and speculations are just to show that I have not seen anything in the world.

The wide, straight gray road was like a sword stuck into the mountain, and when the mountain opened the road and the water and built bridges, they set out from their own territory, and when they reached the border of the principality, the gray road never disappeared from their eyes.

They marched from the borders of the principality to the fabled city, and even the most dragged procession took less than ten days!

It was miraculously powerful in their eyes—just looking at the path showed how powerful the duchy was.

After coming to Wende City, they saw what it means to be a 'City of Miracles'.

It was a word they had heard from the mouths of the adventurers and merchants who had visited the city and called the city they were now in the 'City of Wonders'.

unimaginable prosperity, unimaginable affluence, unimaginable order, unimaginable civilization......

Everything was 'unimaginable' in their eyes, and before they came to this city, all their fantasies were childish, and they thought that no matter how prosperous this city was, it was no more than Greenland.

After arriving here, they realized that they also had a day of lack of imagination.

When they visited and studied here, they didn't dare to say much, and they didn't dare to ask random questions, because they were afraid that they would be labeled as a 'hillbilly' - in fact, the territories around the Duchy of Sorrow were indeed rural for the Kingdom of Kolo and the Kingdom of Kurt, and the nobles were all rural nobles.

But because of this, they understand this very well, so they don't like to be called 'hillbilly' by others, even if the people who come to Wende City to visit and study are only butlers of noble families or knights canonized.

Without the high-flying pretensions of their own territory, they seem to be a little cautious even when facing a civilian.

If it was in the city, of course they would not dare to ask how much 'those things' cost, and if they did, and they got an answer, they thought that they would probably choke on the answer in the end, and they would not be able to say a word, which would be a shame.

They asked about the tools in the fields and the canals that ran through the acres.

They are either stewards or knights, and they all have to deal with the farmland, unlike their noble lords, who may not understand anything, but they cannot.

Just look at it twice, and they are greedy!

Even if they haven't learned more about it yet, they almost understand what those farm tools are for.

With those tools, it is easier for the farmers to do their jobs, that is, without those tools, a farmer can take care of a piece of farmland, and with these tools, a farmer can take care of at least one and a half pieces.

Two people can take care of three plots, so the more people there are, the more labor can be freed, so that they can open up more farmland and grow more food.

And those farm tools don't have to be matched by every farmer, a few people or even a dozen people use one is enough, like the 'dragon tail car' placed on the side of the canal, they don't expect it, even if they can afford it, the Principality of Sadness may not sell it......

At this time, the civil servant who showed them around the farmland showed a standard business smile and said, "Gentlemen, what you have in front of you now, as long as you can afford it, then we will sell it." ”

Immediately, the stewards and knights were in an uproar.

The Principality of Sorrow wants to go crazy for money? They are willing to sell this kind of thing that has the same life?

The civil servant seemed to be able to see what they were thinking, and while the stewards and knights were still wondering if there was some conspiracy involved, he smiled and said, "Our maid master said that if this kind of farming tool can be popularized, it will benefit the whole world, and if everyone has food in their hands, then there will probably be many fewer robbers." After all, everyone knows that robbers are going to cut off their heads, and if they can eat and drink enough, who else will be a robber?"

"Our Wende City is a 'holy city' under the crown of the Lady of Wealth, so naturally we have to consider the merchants. Besides, you're still invited, and if you buy now, we'll sell them at a 20% discount—whether it's these tools or new farming methods, for last year we had almost a third more harvest than the year before, and more than half the year before that. ”

"After popularizing these things nationwide, our agricultural income has been growing, and last year we also opened up new farmland, and we should be able to increase our income this year or the year after, and maybe we will really be able to achieve surplus grain at that time!"

"We were even able to stock up on more food, and even if there was a natural disaster that didn't have a good harvest for the year, we would be able to survive the year unscathed!"

The stewards and knights were fascinated by the words of the civil servants, and although they knew that there must be exaggerations in them, they couldn't help but be itchy to hear them!

Looking at the tangled look on their faces, the civil servant struck while the iron was hot and said: "It's not me bragging, the maid elder lowered the commercial tax the year before last, attracting a large number of businessmen and adventurers, and the maid elder lowered the agricultural tax last year, but what? Last year, the tax revenue of the agricultural tax was the same as when it was not lowered the year before, and this year, it is estimated that it will continue to rise......

The butler and the knights looked at each other, unable to hold back the throbbing of their hearts any longer.

"Bought it!"

Hearing this, the civil servant smiled and stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation?"

The steward and the knights shook hands with the civil servant stiffly, "He...... Happy to work with. ”
