Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 217: Chapter 118: The Second Harvest Season (Part 4)

After two years, the first round of assessment will show that the territory aligns with the standards of a Kingdom Knight’s Territory.

According to the calculation of one man working with a family of five to cultivate a hundred acres, ten thousand acres would only require a thousand households to farm.

It’s rare for Kingdom Knights to manage a village that hosts a thousand households.

Such a large village would be considered a big one anywhere.

Su Li felt that he could even directly challenge and start with the rank of Baron.

However, achieving this goal is not easy. At the very least, all aspects need to be steadily advanced starting now.

Su Li asked with concern, ”Can it be completed in two to four days? After all, just here in Jorn Shallow Bay, there are nearly forty thousand acres of various good fields.”

Vandar, full of confidence, said, ”We have set a two-day buffer period, taking into account possible issues. Normally, two days should be enough to harvest all the grain.”

”This harvest season is different from the last one which was so rushed; this time, we’ve been meticulously prepared.”

”We’ve built 20 harvesters alone. With so many harvesters operating simultaneously, we estimate that in one or two days, the grain at Jorn Shallow Bay could be fully harvested.”

”Then they will move separately to various farms and estates, to cooperate with the serfs and complete the harvest of the territory’s grain. We will lease these tools to those in need through the Provincial Affairs Council’s mechanical company.”

”Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful!” Su Li laughed and praised, ”This is an excellent idea; using machines to shorten harvest time gives the residents more time to cultivate new farmland.”

Such initiatives would only be promoted by people from the Dawn Church.

So it doesn’t quite fit the Empire’s despairing style.

But this time, Su Li supported the Dawn Church’s decision. Even the Supreme King of the Dwarves, as stubborn as he is, is striving for progress, driving reforms, and enhancing the efficiency of the Dwarves.

Humans in the Empire must also keep up with the times.

Su Li, having lived a couple of stable months, was in a great mood and willing to improve the lives of the residents.

Though this could easily breed all sorts of chaos, like when the residents have free time, they might be tempted by Sado and Treachery.

Even a frenzy between humans and Beastmen could occur.

But Su Li considered that the Hesse Territory was still small, and with the help of the Daily Intelligence system, he could manage the spread of Chaos.

During this time, he had destroyed two Lanode altars, three Evil Orders, and killed a dozen cultists who had infiltrated the Hesse Territory.

In the row houses of Hesse Town alone, the evil and chaotic forces that had emerged were cleaned by Su Li four or five times already.

Once the work arrangements for the harvest season were set, the territory’s efficiency was very high.

In just one day, harvesters reaped over twenty thousand acres of wheat fields beneath Jorn Shallow Bay.

The threshing grounds were bustling with bonfires; each one was crowded with slaves pushing carts to transport the wheat ears. All twenty-seven threshing grounds around Jorn Shallow Bay were overwhelmed with activity!

However, the new bags of wheat being transported from the threshing grounds were so tempting. The golden-yellow hue filled the hearts of the slaves with joy.

A good harvest meant that the Lord was in a great mood, and when the Lord was in a good mood, each of them might change their destiny.

And indeed, Su Li did not let them down. Upon seeing carts of grain fill the newly built granary in the castle, capable of storing three hundred thousand pounds of grain, he waved his hand joyfully, promising each slave half a pound of Puma meat and prohibiting them from trading it.

If any lucky one successfully awakens their bloodline, they will receive the generous reward of being freed from slavery.

This made the slaves work with enthusiasm late into the night, never able to repay the Lord’s benevolence! It’s simply inexhaustible!

And hearing the cheers from the threshing grounds, not to mention the slaves of other knights, even some Free People were so envious their eyes nearly popped out.

This was magical beast meat that could help them awaken a wood attribute bloodline.

It was as if the Lord was helping them test their aptitude for free.

Some young knights, training hard to strengthen their physiques, couldn’t help but point here with reddened eyes: ”Coach, I want to be a slave, too.”
