Chapter 569 Food Base
"Avali, out of these 6 bushels, the Sun King takes 2 bushels from these 6 bushels every year, you take 2 bushels, the noble lords keep 1 bushel for themselves, and the remaining 1 bushel is given to the farmers themselves. eat"
George shook his head and said: "One bushel is indeed very little, but the lords here in the Southern Wilderness are well taken care of by the tribe. Most of this bushel of food will be collected by farmers. Unlike the Dome Eagle, Over there, after most farmers grow food, their income is almost zero, and they not only have to borrow food from the lords to survive."
"Sir, I heard that Alfonso and I heard that you are also engaged in land reclamation in Dome Eagle?"
"Indeed, Avali. We are also dealing with those squires and nobles - but their lives are much better than those of the nobles below you. After all, we do not need to squeeze the nobles to leave a way for the people at the bottom to survive. Because the grain output is sufficient, the nobles and farmers will be happy without causing trouble together."
As George said, the Iberian nobles can hardly afford to feed their soldiers, so they rely on Avali to provide food to them. If it weren't for the nobles in other places, their lives would be even worse than them. Let the nobles compete, and the nobles in Avali's hands have already become chaotic.
So even though those brainless iron-headed boys in the Eight Departments clamor all day long, no one will accept it. But Avali really doesn't want to fight - if Iberia continues to be in chaos, their new rulers will have to be overthrown!
"The Dome Eagle will become the real rear of the Kingdom of Elda in the future." Having said this, George looked at the princes and said: "You should have heard that Miss Tanya has gathered together the knights and armies of various nobles. , are reorganizing a new army, which are the training soldiers I prepared for my fourth Templar Order - but don’t worry, this is what I prepared for the demons who are about to invade the Swan Lake Wetland. The gift is not meant for you.”
The pupils of the princes shrank severely.
Regarding the movements of Dome Eagle, Avali does have some news in his hands. But compared with the 30,000 noble private soldiers and the knights established with the support of an archangel, the combat effectiveness is vastly different.
The thorn bird once left a profound memory for the northern and southern wilderness. The Frost King and the Fire King still remember "Jagger, Earl of Thorns"
Not to mention how well-armed the 30,000 instructors will be, with the support of this lord, Dome Eagle is definitely capable of rebuilding the Thorn Bird Army.
"Avali, my purpose is to help mankind and fight the devils from this world back to hell. It is not to deal with my followers of the Sun God." George said in the tone of the archangel: "You are the same as everyone else in the Seven Kingdoms. You are all the people of the Sun God, otherwise 'Soradia', I mean the incarnation of Father God, would go to the Southern Wilderness a few centuries ago, and why would I go to all the trouble to come here to build a food base for you? ”
George's words made several people, including Salman, feel a little angry. The name 'Soradia' is written on the 'Soradia Sun Temple' in Sun City, and this name is the name of the elders today. It was mentioned more than once - they did not say that Soradia was the sun god, but they did say that the light of 'Soradia' had enveloped Halinska.
Salman suddenly thought of the woman who had been following George, and the princes thought of the woman who was praised by the elders today.
Avali's lips trembled slightly for a few times. After calming down, he believed what George said more and more.
"Sir, do you think we can produce more food this year?"
"Sanctuary - I mean the northern valley. It is the center shrouded by divine grace. No matter how well the worship of churches and temples in other regions is done, the output cannot be compared with Sanctuary. But the conditions here are so good. "It's not a problem to have two or three times more than Qiongying's average output this year - you have enough shamans here. The elders and shamans didn't know what to do in previous years, but this year there will be a bumper harvest."
George, a great master, has prepared a lot of work during this period, and has a thorough understanding of the humanities of the Southern Wilderness - in the Southern Wilderness, there is the custom of witchcraft and sacrifice, and most people also regard disasters, harvests, hunting, etc. Such things are attributed to the blessings of the shaman and the grace of the sun god.
As a scholar with the blood of the Kingdom of Stars, Avali was a little repelled by this matter, but to be honest, the Kingdom of Stars also had related sacrifices. Therefore, although he never placed his hope of a good harvest entirely on sacrifices. But it also retains an attitude of ‘I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn’t exist’.
"Is it really enough as long as the shamans pray correctly?" Avali asked with some surprise - he still preferred to believe in science.
"Avali. Times have changed. The farming technology of the Kingdom of Heaven has been innovated for many generations. If you only rely on prayers but still use primitive methods to farm, how can the output increase so much?" George said: "—— I call this a two-pronged approach. Our scholars are all experts trained by the Heavenly Kingdom and Forbidden Academy. They will come to guide you and cooperate with the work of the shamans. Of course, if there are free people, I will send some more. The sun angel, but you know, the minions of the ancient gods have been fighting against the kingdom of heaven. There are too many people praying to the sun god, and my people are limited. "
Awali believes in science, and the two princes believe in theology. And these words can be said to satisfy everyone present - in this scam carefully prepared by George, they completely believe in this "master".
Indeed, the output is visible and tangible. How can it be faked? And what the tribe is doing is just making some adjustments. Those in the temple are all their own people and will not harm the tribe. Those scholars sent here are also auxiliary. What can they do without soldiers and power?
Before seeing the revolution with their own eyes, the aristocracy could not understand the power of the poor people at the bottom in the revolution!
What George will do in Iberia will be a dimensionality reduction strike!
However, it is not George's ultimate goal to empty the tribe. And the revolution that will be launched in Iberia this time also needs to be covered up by "reform" and "theology".
Therefore, he threw out what the tribe wanted to hear most - sharing.
Indeed, how could the kingdom of heaven waste manpower and technical resources to come to help guide? Taxes are to be collected!
And this tax, under this strategy, no noble, no lord of the Southern Wilderness, can swallow up the things that belong to the Sanctuary - let alone swallowing them, it won't be long before they become puppets.
"We don't need to talk about the specific output. But I give you a guarantee." George looked at everyone and said, "I will give you 8 bushels on the tribe side - as for the Sun King's share, I don't care, you can give as much as you want. As for the nobles and farmers, I can be responsible for them, and I guarantee that they will get more and more food by then."
The three princes were very moved by this and could hardly believe whether it was true.
Avali calculated in his mind and felt that, according to reason, this piece of land should have no problem in achieving an average annual output of 12 bushels. Of course, it's just that he doesn't have this ability - he always thought that his system and policies have done enough. In fact, this is also the case - the canals, farming techniques, etc., although not as good as the Sanctuary, are already the best level in Iberia.
However, in this feudal system, no matter how good his policies are, the "factors of production" cannot be fully integrated, and resources cannot be distributed to producers (the lower class people) in the most favorable way. What is the point of building canals if people cannot work together?
He never knew what was missing - indeed, even the Star Country has not yet been completely "reformed". And there is a gap between the reform and the utopian system of the shelter.
Therefore, when the productivity here began to be liberated, George's standard in his mind was 20 bushels, not 12 bushels.
In a few years, with the complete liberation of productivity here and the increasing maturity of agricultural technology in the shelter, this number will definitely double.
