Chapter 513: Ears of Wheat (Medium)
The maid walked into the office and sat behind her desk and looked through the report documents at hand.
If you calculate the time, the statistical report should have come up...... Well, found it!
The seeds that the Duchy of Sorrow is now planted with are obtained from the Agricultural Church, a new type of seed that has been planted for a longer period of time, but will produce more.
Therefore, the receiving time will be relatively delayed a lot, which the maid has already told the farmers, so this time there are almost no problems, and after the deployment, this year is another bumper harvest.
However, the inaccurate figure of 'most of the territory' on the report is still very glaring!
Even after the government's allocation, not every farmer was willing to plant the new seeds, and the current statistical technology was not advanced enough, so in the report, the maid allowed the officials to use vague descriptions such as 'a territory', or 'a town' or 'a village'.
But even so, the seeds she wanted to promote were only planted in most of the territory, and in addition to that, a small half of the territory was not planted.
Moreover, some remote mountain villages are not recorded in them, and the towns and villages that can be included in the report are relatively large.
Because it is a non-compulsory promotion, many noble lords are still waiting, even if most nobles no longer have much power to use, but it is enough to block this non-compulsory promotion.
If it was for the sake of safety, the maids didn't have a problem, after all, as a country noble, even if they were a 'mage', they didn't have much knowledge, but if it was really just to hinder her, then it would be very stupid.
In today's Duchy of Sorrow, as long as anyone knows that she Serena has done her best for this territory and this country, and has worked hard to make this country strong, so what are they doing this for?
It was precisely because she felt the stupidity of some nobles that the maid felt that the vague description was very harsh.
She didn't have the time and energy to think about the future of the country while going into a wrestling affair with those aristocrats, which was annoying.
After creating a brilliant future for the country, how could she have time to fight with those who didn't know what to do?
She's tired of it!
There are no big moves, but there are a lot of small moves, is she really out of temper?
With a finger raised, the bell tied to the rope on one side swung, and it wasn't long before a civil servant knocked on the office door.
"Go and inform 'all the lords and nobles' to have them come to the meeting, it's ...... At 10 o'clock at 8:00, I want them to arrive in the chamber by 9 o'clock. ”
The civil servant standing in front of the chief maid suddenly shuddered, his breathing suddenly quickened a little, and then he gladly accepted the order.
After the civil servant left, the maid was still thinking about this matter, if this matter could not be solved, those gatekeepers would hinder the development of the country, and those nobles had unknowingly become moths of the country.
Magical machines are things that allow mortals to resist the profession, and they don't follow the trend around the world.
In the Ogordon Empire, the transcendent bloodline is still dominant, and the steam engine is just a method they use to increase their national power, and in the Kurkut Empire, the 'application of magic' they study is a means that only mages can use, and even because the materials required for many magic and magic circles are expensive, they don't have much to do with the common people.
Only the magic machine is the only way out for mortals in this transcendent world, and in addition, they only have the path of 'becoming a professional', but most of the transcendents have monopolized this path, this path is not working, and there are not so many resources in the world that can make everyone become a professional.
If you want to become an interstellar civilization, then in addition to high-end technology, if there is no support from the bottom, it is just a beautiful looking castle in the sky, after the collapse of the Arcane Empire, the rest of this world has nothing to gain, and there is almost nothing left.
Without the support of the people at the bottom, how could a group of 'elites' go to interstellar colonization in person?
But now there is a group of people who are blocking her from allowing the whole country to continue to move forward, and they are in her way!
If there is not enough productivity, how can the country develop and how can the people be rich.
At present, the productivity of the Principality of Sorrow has not reached the upper limit, even the nobles who really want to rebel should be very aware of this matter, the promotion of that new type of seed is to earn money for them, even if the farmland in their hands is about to be handed over to the country, but nominally, they are still the lords of the territory, as long as the grain production increases, they will be able to get more taxes, which they should also know very well.
So the maid was a little puzzled, who was in front of her...... Was someone pushed out to block the gun? Or was there another conspiracy?
It was a difficult question to be answered for the time being, and although she had already inserted spies among the rebellious nobles, and those guys could not fool her with their every move, she had not been informed until then.
That's weird......
At eight fifty o'clock, the maid looked at the time, put down her work for the time being, and glanced at Edith, who was waiting by the door, and the two went to the council chamber one after the other.
Since it was a temporary notice, she didn't know how many nobles would arrive on time, but by nine o'clock, even if no one came, the meeting would begin.
When the maid and Edith entered the council chamber and walked up to the podium, many nobles were already sitting under the stage, and as far as the eye could see, all the nobles who were slightly familiar were present, and the rest of the nobles did not dare not come.
The maid sat on the rostrum with her eyes closed, and she felt that she should make a 'sign-in sheet' next time, so that she could confirm which one had come and which had not.
When~When~When......
The pendulum clock rang and the maid opened her eyes, and Edith hurriedly withdrew her gaze from the quiet gaze that had been watching her.
"Everyone, everyone's here, right?"
The maid scanned the room, and her voice echoed through the hall.
She deliberately did not use the meeting room of the town hall, but used the council chamber, so that the nobles were a little unsure of her intentions.
Moreover, this time the black dragon did not come......
Selina and Edith on the stage were looking at the nobles in the audience, and the nobles were also paying attention to them.
The sudden meeting and the fact that there were only two people on the stage made the nobles have some speculation in their hearts.
Because of yesterday's founding ceremony, they gathered here, and when the ceremony ended, they were still a little happy, and naturally they didn't return to their backward territory, anyway, even if they didn't have them, they would still be able to operate.
In any case, the aristocracy is still the aristocracy, and even if some of them have a strong desire for power, they still enjoy a corrupt life.
Compared to their backward territory, Wende City is more suitable for these nobles, and the style here is completely different!
When the maid called, some of them didn't even wake up, and rushed over before they had time to eat breakfast.
Looking at the two people on the stage, they were thoughtful.
"Guys, I'm sure you're still wondering why I called you here at such a time, right?"
After announcing the beginning of the meeting, the maid immediately opened her mouth to ask a question, which also stunned the nobles.
So straightforward......
"The weight of one ear is like two disagreements - this is the harvest of most of the territories in our principality this year, except for a few territories, most of the territories have a good harvest, even if you count those 'small parts', this year is a bumper harvest. ”
"So, I'd like to ask ......"
Without any delay, the maid chose to go straight to the point: "Why didn't someone follow my orders to promote the new seed?"
