Chapter 126 (2/2)
“You have done a great job The wheat plant with the big grain ear will be called golden one I will create a test field for you south of the Redwater River, it will be surrounded by fences and clapboards, to hide it from the view of other people There I hope ill soon harvest a batch of golden ones As for the garden, you can continue to use it to improve and create neheat varieties I also came up with a lot of new ideas, not only for the wheat crops but also for the grapes,” said Roland
Unfortunately, Leaves only has aof the characteristics of a crop, so she can only change it to get more fruits, sweeter taste, denser branches and so on… If she could understand it on a enes, wouldn’t she also be able to fine tune it? Such that the plants could even absorb light other than from the visible spectru radiation for photosynthesis, getting a direct output of starch, glucose, sucrose and other energy storage substances, so that we could directly harvest what is needed
During the evening, the 4th Prince lit a bonfire near the Redwater River, and let Carter and his guards gather all the serfs together A huge cauldron with ht over and placed on the fraee over the fire
With the fire at his back, the serfs could only see the narrow ie of their new Lord, and the moment they became aware of him they would fearfully lower their heads Only solance at the Prince from time to time
Roland who stood in front of the bonfire began to announce his new rules to the crowd of more than a thousand people
“I adom of Graycastle, the Lord of Border Town, and the Ruler of the Western territories”
“Today you were all summoned here, the day that you ca as you work hard, you can break away from your current status and place!”
“That is right, I will give you a chance to get rid of your status as slaves, beco free people!”
Hearing this within the serfs an uproar broke out The serfs clearly knehat a status as a free person er be cruelly abused by their owners, without any rest always forced to carry on farer have to turn over the crops they produced on their fields to their owners, their sons and daughters would no longer be turned into the next generation of serfs
Roland waited for a moment to let them calm down then he continued, “Froned to hiuide you in the process to get a better harvest In the first year, 30 of your harvest will belong to you, while the other 70 will belong to Border Town The people who get the best harvest results will be promoted to free people!“
“After beco a freeman, your family will be exempted from slavery, and then you can decide if you want to continue far or if you want to find another occupation in the town, it will be your own decision If you choose to continue far to Border Town as rent, while the other 80 will belong to yourself Later you can buy the land froer have to transfer any food to the castle! “
After his last word faded away, only the sound of breathing could be heard, until sohness, hat you said was really the truth?”
“Of course,” Roland answered, stressing every word “As a Lord, I would never deceive my own people“
“His Royal Highness isout loud, then the sound quickly becahness the Prince!”
Suddenly the first serf in front of him kneeled down, followed soon by the second person, then the third person…
Until the wholehis na louder and louder Until the thousands of voices turned into the sa live the Prince!”
Hearing the crowd so clearly understanding his intent, there was no need for hiht to himself
He clapped his hands then said to the bodyguard behind hi the meal!”
