Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 46 Agricultural Reform
Chapter 46 - 46 Agricultural Reform
"Lord Poli, do you mean that in the future we can enjoy the right to use a fixed piece of land? And we don't have to pay rent anymore?" A town mayor asked cautiously.
He wasn't sure, and he could hardly believe it was true!
Even though the announced matter was so beneficial to them, they didn't even dare to cheer and jump for joy.
The surrounding common people were also surprisingly quiet, not daring to make any sound. It seemed that as long as they made a noise, they would startle this sudden benefit and make it fly away.
"That's right, and it's the land in the cultivable areas. We're not asking you to open up wasteland in the forests and mountains."
"Even if there are more people in some areas, a certain proportion of the land will be replaced with ponds or larger unopened areas for you."
"You'll lease the land, but we won't charge you any fees. You don't even have to hand over a portion of the grain or anything like that. It's completely free."
Poli said with a faint smile.
His expression when dealing with them was completely different from that when dealing with the manor owners and nobles.
Even so, they still couldn't believe it was true.
"Father, if they still can't believe it for the moment, just keep going," Sulian interjected at the right time.
One of his purposes for coming here was to take over some of the words at crucial moments and leave enough of an impression in the hearts of the common people.
"Okay." Poli nodded, and then looked at the nobles and manor owners: "Don't look so unhappy. After all, we've been cooperating for so many years. Naturally, we won't leave you with nothing to do."
"Please tell us, Lord Poli," Count Virginia said, suppressing his anger but not daring to explode.
He was the most powerful noble in the Peter's Holy Territory, and his ancestors also had a large fiefdom. However, later, due to some reasons, the fiefdom was reduced, and in the end, a larger area was granted to Ersha, and his county territory became a part of the prince's territory.
Although he could govern his territory independently, he originally rented a lot of land to maintain his status.
Now, with just one reform, the land he could use was only the remaining, much-reduced fiefdom.
...
"Considering that after the land is given to the citizens of the territory unconditionally, you won't have any other use for it except farming, which is indeed a bit of a waste."
"So now we're giving you a choice."
"Those who want to farm the land themselves will naturally not be interfered with. But if you return the right of use to us, we will cultivate your land uniformly and give you an amount of money corresponding to the international price of the land's expected grain production, which is calculated bas
ed on wheat, every year."
"That is to say, even if you don't farm the land, you will still be given enough money to buy food."
"As for all the original manor owners, you already have enough connections and economic foundations. Presumably, you won't continue to rent land and let others cultivate it for you. In the future, we will grant you the right to use the magic-powered vehicle transportation, allowing you to operate ot
her trades with more favorable conditions."
"It's not just the transportation right in the Peter's Holy Territory, but the transportation right of the magic-powered vehicles throughout the country!"
Poli's tone gradually became more passionate!
The expressions of the village mayors, town mayors, and common people, who originally couldn't believe it, finally began to show joy gradually, because it seemed that this was really happening!
The manor owners and nobles were also shocked at first. Then, their originally faintly angry and dissatisfied expressions gradually turned into surprise!
Why!?
Because the common people were no longer the oppressed common people, but citizens enjoying basic rights!
And for the manor owners and nobles who originally had money and connections, it could be said that they had lost a great deal of their interests in the Peter's Holy Territory. However, Prince Ersha, who held the operation right of the magic-powered vehicles throughout the country, was giving them t
he green light. How could others compete with them in other aspects of trade!?
"From now on!" "All the citizens of the Peter's Holy Territory will have their most basic food needs met. You can engage in more profitable or meaningful work."
"You can build new factories, work in the crop areas we are responsible for to engage in more profitable agriculture, or work in new factories! Even in the future, we will improve the treatment of the territory's army. Even if you join the army, you will also have high earnings."
"And for all the manor owners in the Peter's Holy Territory, as long as you continue to pay taxes to us, we will continue to provide you with the convenience of the transportation right of the magic-powered vehicles throughout the country."
"Free up the labor force of all citizens and unleash the driving force for economic development!"
"Let the Peter's Holy Territory become the most harmonious and prosperous place in the entire Kingdom of Aivisu!"
Poli's final words were shouted out with his arms raised!
...
The whole place fell silent!
A stunned silence!
Everything in front of them was actually true, and everything Poli announced was true!
"Now, aren't you going to cheer, everyone?" Sulian reminded.
Everyone looked at Sulian, and then at Poli and Ersha, who were smiling and nodding.
"Oh ——!!!"
I don't know who started it and shouted first!
"Long live Prince Ersha!"
"Long live Lord Poli! Long live Lord Lendel!"
"Great! Oh oh ——!!!"
Everyone cheered, and the cheering even spread throughout the entire city of Peter's Holy. Even the soldiers patrolling on the city walls could clearly hear the sound!
That was the voice of all the common people, the voice of the citizens of Peter's Holy!
Everyone was a beneficiary!
"Uka ——!"
Then, I don't know who shouted again.
The high-pitched shout that was originally used only by the army was also shouted at this moment, when the emotions were extremely high and excited!
The three generations of Sulian's family, the grandfather, the father, and Sulian, smiled and looked at those who were cheering, with no intention of disturbing them at all.
Their purpose was so simple, which was to make everyone satisfied.
With the right to control the magic-powered vehicle transportation throughout the country in their hands, they had the capital to do so!
...
At this moment, perhaps only Nalin in the carriage was out of place with them.
She looked at the cheering sea of people around her, convinced that she wasn't dreaming either, and witnessed the beginning of an incredible reform.
She looked at Sulian on the stage again, who was smiling faintly and looking at everyone, as if everything was under his control.
At this moment, she had fully realized.
Sulian was by no means an ordinary twelve-year-old noble!
Just as Sulian had said to Ersha and the others before, those who achieve great things always show their extraordinary side from a young age.
What Sulian was showing at this moment was exactly that!

...
After a long time.
Everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, and the surrounding common people completely surrounded the streets on all four sides of the square.
They were called here by the other residents who had spread the news. At the same time, the things that had just been announced here would also be quickly told to the entire city by them!
"Everyone has calmed down more or less, right? Then we'll continue," Ersha said with a faint smile.
Ah? There's more?
"Don't be surprised. In the future, for the citizens of the strongest territory, Father still has a lot of documents in his hand," Sulian also said.
Everyone immediately became quiet, for fear of missing what Poli was going to announce next.
Poli smiled faintly when he saw this.
"After the agricultural reform, there will definitely be great changes in the economic aspect. I believe that by then, you will have surplus money that needs to be saved."
"Now, I'm going to announce three more things."
"Matters related to the economy."
