Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 351

Silver Wing City.

Giethoorn.

Giethoorn is a large agricultural village, with a population of about 900 adults, and more than [-] people engaged in agricultural production.

For a long time, the ancestors of Giethoorn Village have followed the ancient tradition of reclaiming the fields, planting crops, weeding, and harvesting in autumn.

But this year is different. According to the promotion of the city hall, they learned to use Bass cattle to plow the field and use manure to fertilize the field.

Of course, some people questioned before the work started, but the voice of doubt was suppressed under the famous name of Luther and Pompey.

Many, many people trust this name.

Luther, Pompey.

But today, Giethoorn Village ushered in the joy of a good harvest.The elderly and children in every household, except those who couldn't walk, all went to battle and went to the fields to harvest wheat.

The golden wheat and the heavy ears of wheat filled the farmers with joy.

"Assia, I have been planting the field for 30 years, and I have never seen such heavy ears of wheat." Ani, a 36-year-old farmer, has been working in the field since he was six years old, but he has never seen such a full grain of wheat. ear.

Arnie picked a grain of wheat and chewed it in his mouth, then grinned and said to his wife.

Ani's wife, Asia, had never seen such full ears of wheat.Her freckled face is also filled with the joy of harvest.

Ani and Garcia's children are already in their teens. They also know what this year's harvest means, and they are also smiling happily.

Arnie looked at his eldest son, Oxford,.This is a fine lad, strong as a calf.Is a good farmer.

But what made Ani dissatisfied was that Oxford put down the farmland at home and concentrated on going to the junior school run by the governor.

Oxford saw no future in farming.

"Because of the Bath cattle, we can open up some abandoned fields. Farming is the most promising. I want to convince Oxford that going to school has no future."

Ani said to Garcia.

"Yes, our ancestors were all farmers, and there is no future in school." Asia also nodded heavily.

Farmers are always short-sighted than urban people because of their knowledge and vision.So far, many children have benefited from the free schools run by Luther, but some children have not been able to go to school because of their parents.

And the couple looked at such a big harvest and planned to cut off their son's study path.

But Luther will not let them do so.

"Oh, oh, we don't have to go hungry this year." At this time, the heart-piercing roar of Brother Abida sounded from the neighbor's farmland.

Ani and Asia looked up, showing knowing smiles.This pair of brothers are also poor people. Their family has very little farmland, but they have a large population.

The two brothers, their wives, and four or five children each gave birth to a total of more than a dozen.

However, there is not much farmland under their name, and the brothers have never had enough to eat.But it's different now.

According to the city hall's announcement, this year's grain production will be [-]% more than in previous years on the farmland that uses manure to fertilize it.

"Don't forget, the tax announced by the city hall this year is twenty to one, twenty to one. This is a very low tax. You must know that the tax of the Silver Wing collar in previous years was ten to one, like the brutal Marquis Parker. It is a heavy tax of ten to two. This is the whirlwind blowing from Pompeii, long live Pompeii. Long live the Governor of the White Eagle."

A big fat farmer drove by and laughed out loud when he saw the joyful Assia, Ani's family, and the Abida brothers.

"That's right, the tax announced by the city hall this year is one out of twenty."

The Asiya family came to their senses and laughed happily.

The White Eagle Territory used to be composed of six territories, but now it is divided into seven cities.In the past, the great nobles and knight lords each had the right to formulate taxes.

As a result, the tax situation in the entire region is very complicated. The kind lords take good care of the people, while the cruel lords try to reduce the farmers' rations.

And now the city hall collects a unified tax, twenty to one, which is a very low tax.

Long live Pompeii! ! !

The villagers in Giethoorn are cheering, but the knowledgeable people in the village are a little worried.

The head of Giethoorn Village, the home of Montenegro.

The lowest administrative unit of the White Eagle Territory is the village, and the village head is mainly elected by the villagers, and generally the elders with high morals are given priority.

According to the size of the village, this type of village will be equipped with more than two village officials to help the village head deal with the situation and disputes in the village.

The village head of Yangjiao Village this time is Montenegro.

One is an old man who is over [-] years old, has read books, and went out to work in his early years and has seen the world.

The village head of Heishan called five village officials to his home to discuss matters.

In the simple conference room, the village head of Heishan had a serious expression on his face, and the village officials were also aware of the problem, and each of them was very serious.

"When the officials of the city hall came to promote the manure fertilization field, I was skeptical. But now I am convinced that this year's grain will be [-]% more than last year. And last year was also a bumper harvest. We have not finished the grain at home. The merchants have not sold out their grain. This year’s harvest is [-]% more than last year’s. Of course the poor villagers can have enough to eat, but the price of grain is bound to drop. Instead, our income may be reduced.”

The village chief of Heishan said solemnly.

"It will definitely decrease. Many villages in our Baiyingling are close to the endless deep forest. These villages cut down forests independently, cultivate fields, and use the power of Bass cattle to greatly increase the farmland area. I think the grain production of Baiyingling this year , I’m afraid it’s [-]% more than last year.”

A village official said with an ugly face.

"Hey, what's going on here? The drought hit the village eight years ago, and the food in the village was halved. Everyone could only eat half full every day, and some people didn't even have half full. At that time, I looked forward to coming next year every day. A bumper harvest. I don’t think there is anything like a bumper harvest, but now it’s better. The Pompeii family is kind enough to publish their agricultural technology and promote it. The bumper harvest is a huge bumper harvest. Instead, we have to worry about food prices. .”

The village head of Heishan sighed, feeling a little complicated.

A huge bumper harvest means that everyone has enough to eat.But when you are full, you will be hehe.

It really is lack of people.

After a full meal, people will become more demanding.

"Forget it, we can't discuss anything while sitting here. I hope the price of grain will not drop too much." Heishan Village Chief sighed, and this time the village meeting is over.

The village officials each left worriedly.
