Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

When the continuous mountains in the northern border gradually dyed a bright golden color, the harvest autumn officially came.

Unlike the mild and mild temperature changes in the southern area, although the autumn in the wasteland is not as biting as the coldness of the middle of winter, the sudden drop in temperature still makes most people change into thicker cotton clothes and leather jackets, and they are busy working when they go out early and come back late. People even put a felt soft hat on their heads, which is the most popular in Starfire City.

Harvey held a summary meeting for the year's agricultural development on time on the second day of the harvest festival.

Although it was nominally a special meeting to test the work results of the Ministry of Agriculture, in fact, the entire city hall, subordinate municipal officials in the neighboring areas, and the ruling chiefs of the newly resigned cities in the southern border were summoned to the castle.

City officials, such as Yinsong City, Heishan Port and the old capital Jinhui City, set off early before the legal holiday of the Harvest Festival. The three types of transportation, including water, railway and aviation, were replaced and transferred, and barely received the order of the city lord. Arrived on time later.

This made Harvey realize more deeply the advantages and benefits of "centralization" - if it were other traditional countries in the southern border that were still divided by the royal family and nobles, most local lords and noble vassals would not have given him the The king's edict is regarded as a sage. As long as it does not involve one's own interests and safety, most of them will adopt a perfunctory attitude.

A transfer order wanted the ruling rulings who were separating the land and governing a city to rush back to the capital in a hurry? I'm afraid most people will feel that what is waiting for him is not the eager welcome from His Majesty the King, but the sword and axe driver who ambushed in the royal palace.

In any case, this meeting was a gathering of senior representatives from all parties in Xinghuo City, which is basically as important as the year-end high-level meeting held in early spring every year.

Harvey sat on a high-backed chair at the end of the long table, looked around officials from all over the place with satisfaction, then raised his hand and knocked on the table.

The people who were originally talking quietly and looking down at the meeting's constitution suddenly became quiet and turned their eyes to the power they were loyal to.

"The old rules, first report on the harvest of grain crops in various places this year."

After the old Minister of Agriculture retired early due to illness, Ambich Kenny, who was temporarily acting as minister, was shocked, looked around and stood up tremblingly.

Harvey remembered the nickname "Shepherd Knight" of the other party, and couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth slightly.

"The city lord, according to the grain production task designated in early spring this year, as of now, Xinghuo City and its surrounding territories have harvested a total of 50,000 puddles of wheat, 70,000 puddles of barley and rye, and other oil and sugar salt crops are respectively..."

Before he could finish reading the report in his hand, Harvey could not hold back his hands and raised his body slightly and said in surprise: "The total grain output of 120,000 puddles? The statistical department has repeatedly verified it ? ”

Kenny nodded, "Reviewed three times repeatedly, the first batch of grains handed over to the public warehouse had arrived in Xinghuo City yesterday, and this was based on the mission at the beginning of the year, only counting the three places of Xinghuo City, Grizzly Leader and Fengyuan City. The harvest of self-cultivated farmland by the people who have newly acquired cities and nearby mountains has not been included in the statistical data..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While laughing, Harvey couldn't help but applaud, "Hahaha! Not bad... I knew this goal would definitely be achieved!"

The meaning of the bumper grain harvest brought him is really important. In a sense, golden wheat means a continuous stream of population and a large amount of fresh labor in exchange for an inexhaustible Industrial products and ammunition weapons.

At the beginning of this task, Harvey was also worried that the sudden "nationalized land enclosure policy" and the popularization of mechanized agriculture would make these ancient people who were used to the small peasant economic model not adapted to the local environment and harvested the goal of 100,000 pudou. Rather than relaxing the assessment, it is actually more of a lack of confidence.

Unexpectedly, it was a great harvest that was so shocking. If we really wanted to compare... Even if the most powerful Chinese nations in the southern border Orland and Eisengard united, they would probably not be able to fill the king's granary. Such an astronomical figure.

After suppressing his excitement, Harvey immediately realized a problem, curled his smile and asked, "The total amount is counted, what about the specific outputs of each place?"

If you remember correctly, Xinghuo City took half of the task of 100,000 puddles of grain at the beginning, while Fengyuan City and Grizzly Bear claimed only 30,000 and 20,000 respectively.

Just because the overall goal is achieved, we cannot ignore the merits and demerits of relevant persons in different regions. It is absolutely not allowed to be a gangster in administrative management by Harvey.

Kenny swallowed and said dryly: "Starhuocheng Farm and Dongtuo Base have completed the target mission of 90,000 Pu Dou. The Grizzly Bear has just met the standard, Fengyuan City... Fengyuan City has various reasons The impact was achieved only half of the mission goal.”

Alas!

Harvey directly slapped the teacup in his hand on the table. The splashed tea water even touched Reiner's face, which was closest to him, and was immediately vaporized into a wisp of blue smoke by the high temperature on the surface of the alchemy body.

It seems that Reiner's mechanical brain is gradually overheating due to high speed.

The city lord was angry at the conference rarely. Although he did not directly call him and curse, his invisible power firmly suppressed everyone and lowered his head subconsciously.

Kenny looked around in a daze and wanted to seek help who was willing to "rescue" him at this moment, but found that except for the three alchemy creatures sitting upright, the rest of the people buried their heads and did not look at him.

"Where are the leaders of Grizzly Corsair and Toyohara Castle? Can you avoid accountability by huddling under the table?"

Harvey's cold words echoed in the hall, forcing Earl Fagan and another middle-aged nobleman to stand up tremblingly. The cold sweat on their foreheads was clearly visible, and they were obviously scared and speechless.

The ruling management positions of one city and one place are not life-long or hereditary. This is clearly written in the basic law at the beginning of the founding of the city. Once the tasks assigned by the Supreme Commander are not completed, they will be laid off in a shameful manner. In severe cases, it is punished and directly imprisoned as dereliction of duty... The nobles who surrendered to Harvey now only have honors and no soldiers or land. Once they lose the only real power that can be relied on, the entire family will lose a large amount of collateral interests and eventually gradually decline and become ordinary the civilian class.

The atmosphere at the meeting was so tense that it was unprecedented, and Reiner, who had been silent, spoke slowly.

"The main reason for not completing the established goals is actually my responsibility, in terms of the General Town Hall..."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

He stood up and looked straight at the work report in his hand and said loudly: "Although the grizzly neck has completed the minimum task goal, he should have gained more... It's just that the city hall has only given the popularization of agricultural machinery, and has not considered the allocation. The enchanted grains were sufficient, and the local people still used the past ordinary grains to sow, resulting in poor results in the end."

However, he changed his subject and immediately added: "However, because the nobles actively handed over the land, the area of ​​farmland reclamation obtained by the Grizzlies this year has been reclaimed. A large number of wasteful fertile land in the past have been reclaimed. I believe next year The profit will never be low."

"Um……"

Harvey nodded to express his understanding. He knew very well that the city hall was not deliberately omission, but that the enchanted grain was catalyzed entirely by Egno and a few dozen mixed-type elves used natural magic to perform the use of natural magic. The total amount of seeds was always limited. ——After all, once the grain seeds are enchanted, they must be sown immediately in a short time, otherwise the attached natural magic will be lost quickly, and these people cannot only be responsible for handling grain seeds throughout the spring. The matter is at the source. There are flaws in itself.

Fortunately, Harvey was foresighted and reached a cooperation agreement with the elf dwarves in advance. After borrowing the Golden Tree Heart and the Earth Crystal Nucleus, these problems will naturally be solved.

"Will Fengyuan City encounter the same problem, which caused the grain harvest?"

Fengyuan City itself is a grain-producing area within the Principality. In the past, using the primitive and backward Sanpu system to farm, it could ensure a stable harvest of 30,000 puddles a year. There is no reason why it would reduce production by a large amount after joining Xinghuo City.

Reiner sighed and said quietly: "Part of the reason is because of the popularization of grain and machinery. More importantly,... the large number of farmers in Fengyuan City were attracted to take the initiative because of the population recruitment policy of Xinghuo City. When migrating northward, many of the originally fertile fertile fields were not cultivated directly."
