Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

The weather is getting warmer.

After a sudden spring rain, a dense touch of new green has quietly appeared among the branches of the trees.

The air is filled with the smell of early spring soil, and even the land that used to be hardened and dry in winter is showing some signs of loosening.

At the same time, the territory under the Jimena family finally ushered in the most important moment of the year again - spring plowing.

But then again...

After all, this year’s spring plowing has a lot of unusual features.

For example, this is the largest spring plowing ever organized by the Jimena family, and it is also the largest spring plowing movement in the southern part of the Andal Kingdom.

From the Thorn Territory to the Abandoned Land, from the Abandoned Land to the south bank of the Meyerson River.

The subjects, who had gained enough strength in the winter, returned to their familiar fields.

The soil beneath their feet made them feel extremely at ease.

Because this is what they rely on for daily meals!

As the top administrator in charge of affairs on the south bank of the Meyerson River and the governor of Port Idar, Bello has already explained the food tax calculation method and land leasing policy of the Jimena family to the people on the south bank of the Meyerson River.

You must know that the previous wars on the south bank of the Meyerson River almost completely destroyed the original ownership of these farmlands.

The number of freedmen owning land plummeted.

Although the vast majority of the territorial residents are still free citizens, most of the land belongs to the Jimena family.

In short, they do have the rights of free people, but if they want to survive, they are essentially the same as tenant farmers.

But it's not a big problem.

What happened to the sharecroppers? The most important thing is whether you can fill your stomach!

Even if they are sharecroppers, the living standards of Antolian sharecroppers are much higher than the average level of this era.

Taxes must be collected, and grain must be paid.

Although the burden is not light, how much grain needs to be paid, at what price the remaining grain will be purchased, and how much can the farmers keep in their own hands...

The answers to these questions are all stipulated on paper by the Jimena family.

There will never be excessive fluctuations due to increases or decreases in grain production.

Even if you want to charge more, you will pay for it with money.

What's more, under the action of the land compactor, the soil on the south bank of the Meyerson River can be said to have been greatly improved.

This land was originally quite fertile and was once known as the granary of the Principality of Norton.

After going through so much trouble, the fertility of the soil is naturally better than before.

With the precedent of the Thorn Territory ahead, the people living on the south bank of the Meyerson River undoubtedly have extremely strong expectations for this year's harvest.

after all……

After the Jimena family became the new rulers of this land, Bello, as the governor of Port Idar, can be said to have done a lot of favors to the local people.

But although the people are ignorant, they will not swallow all the pie whole.

Only when it involves food collection and tax payment, which is really related to them, can the people of the country have expectations.

Obviously, the food issue is undoubtedly the most important concern in the eyes of the people.

Therefore, the big pie in this aspect naturally creates the enthusiasm of the people.

There is no way, other people's pictures are just pictures, but the Jimena family really knows how to deliver.

This is the most useful thing that the people on the south bank of the Meyerson River have realized during this period of time working with the Jimena family!

In the biting cold wind, the Jimena family provided valuable food and shelter enough for the workers building the road.

At a time of war, the Jimena family brought rare peace to this land.

The fulfillment of promises and the changes that have taken place on this land have led to an increasing strategic mutual trust between the people and the rulers.

As Bello once said at the third collective learning meeting of grassroots officials on the south bank of the Meyerson River - the original words of Leon Jimena, Marquis of Antolia:

“Come from the people, to the people.”

"The people under the rule of the Jimena family are the most important force for the development and growth of the Jimena family. Solving the internal conflicts among the people is the top priority for the Jimena family to stabilize its dominance."

The implementation and announcement of a series of policies gave people living on this land an unprecedented hope for the future for the first time.

It is precisely because of this...

After the ruler issued a call for the people to roll up their sleeves and work hard at spring plowing...

The people living on this land burst out with enthusiasm that they had never experienced before.

Of course, it’s not just people working in the fields.

Many industries in the area south of the Meyerson River are also developing rapidly.

Especially fishing!

As an important supplement to achieve food security in the territory under the Jimena family, with Bello's full support, although the fishing industry in Port Idar has just started, it has already become impressive.

Fishermen are actively encouraged and supported to go fishing in the sea.

According to Leon, Bello specially formulated a series of industrial support policies to reduce the worries of the fishermen in Port Idar by appropriately increasing the purchase price and cutting taxes to a certain extent.

have to say.

The ocean of this era is also a treasure hiding countless opportunities.

Let’s not mention the distant ocean areas for now.

Fishing in the offshore area alone is enough for the fishermen to harvest a lot, and the food reserves of Idar Port have increased significantly.

Yes, there is indeed no such thing as a refrigerator in this era.

But there is salt in this era!

And Antolia itself produces salt!

The pickled dried fish is a bit salty, but why would the citizens have so many demands?

As long as it fills your stomach!

They are always easily satisfied.

but……

It was precisely amid this prosperity and stability that the news from the Kingdom of Idrit once again made Leon's nerves tense.

Idrit has recently been making trouble for the remnant of the country.

Leon has always been clear about this.

But the Kingdom of Idrit is after all one of the largest countries in the Northern Continent. The current chaos in the country is entirely due to him not having time to react.

No matter how happy the remnants of the restoration of the country are, they will not threaten the rule of the Idrit Kingdom.

Although the nobles of this era were very pushy, it would not lead to the collapse of the kingdom's political power.

But the problem is...

The old king of the Kingdom of Idrit, the father of Prince Idrit Mendez Francis, an important contender for the throne of the Kingdom of Idrit, suddenly received news that he was seriously ill and fainted at this extremely critical moment... …(End of chapter)
