Chapter 138 Establishriculture

The Forest south of the Redwater River had been nearly been fully cleared out, and the day to start with its cultivation was getting ever closer

In order to facilitate the people ere crossing over the Redwater River, Roland had co pontoon to be used The pontoon was created froether with thick hemp ropes He had also specially ordered for the carpenters to build the rafts both of the ends being pointed, in this waythis the amount of water resistance as far as possible The hemp rope had been tied around four wooden pillars on both sides of the river, fixing the rafts position together as far as possible Between each raft laid four long planks with one end of it on each deck, they were two ether they were four-meter wide from side to side

A pontoon built out of rafts was very simple to set up, yet its service ti as the water level didn’t rise or fall by tooout of the hemp rope The pontoon could easily be used for two or three years – the trees of the forest was an excellent ood indicator and built out of the giant trees of the forest, it was nearly as old as the town itself by now Despite the fact that walking on top of would give off a creaking sound, it still didn’t show any sign that it would collapse

On the western side of the pontoon, the first part of the reclai area Now that they were no longer surrounded by the forest, it had now been tidily enclosed by thethese past few days with the exception of eating, going to school and sleeping, Leaves spent all of her tiarden Out of thein his third story office, Roland could faintly overlook the scene in this wooden enclosure – where the wheat was growing at a crazy rate, while in the s, and in the afternoon the whole area has turned into a golden wheat sea

When relying onplanted to become ready to be harvest, if this was to be seen by an outsiders, they would surely fall to their knees in disbelief and cry out “Miracle, truly this must be a miracle”

Seeing that the land, the population, and the seeds had all been set, Roland decided that it was time to decide on the last element— the custodian

He called his constantly busy assistant minister Barov

And when he entered his office, Roland asked him: “Your chief apprentice should be able to take over by now, right? I need to set up t departments at the Town Hall”

“Your Royal Highness, this is… our h for this” Barov insisted

Previously you would always first agree with me and only later would we sloork out the details But now it see Roland secretly criticized his assistant hts, “How can it not be enough, didn’t I recently allocated a group of knights to you?”

During his preli, Roland had discovered thatand writing Naturally, that would be toofor the best ones, he finally selected nine knights as junior teachers, and assigned all the others as apprentices in the Town Hall

“Your Royal Highness, those people are totally lazy and dragging their feet on every job, their response tie to copy over so a lot of mistakes, in the end they are simply unqualified to become apprentices”

“How to discipline them is up to you,” Roland slaement, send them directly to the North Slope Mine! But these two departments must be set up!”

“Well, Your Highness, you will always have the final say” Barov gave up helplessly

Roland said: “The first is the Ministry of Agriculture, which will be responsible for supervising the agricultural territory and the planting process”

Barov was immediately stunned, it was the first time that he heard that the Town’s Hall was even responsible for hness, shouldn’t this matter be directly decided by the serfs the to do with how much and what they decide to plant, we are only responsible forsure that all their taxes are paid in full”

“That’s exactly the reason why you… no, I mean why the crop’s we harvest in the past was so low” Roland quickly took his cup and drank soue, “The Town Hall should be responsible for taking care that everyone has enough to eat and drink”

“Let everyone have enough to eat and drink… certainly you ht?”

“Of course not, how i to eat and drink doesn’t even need to be said, if the town’s hall is unable to ensure that everyone has enough to eat, then they aren’t doing their job, but by then I will also be guilty of neglecting my duty As for the latter part, wasn’t the public toilet project started for exactly this purpose?” Roland no longer spoke in a relaxed voice, and instead seriously said, “I don’t kno the Capital’s City Hall used to handle this, perhaps the life and death of the civilians do not matter so much to them, but here in Border Town, I want to ianization It is absolutely necessary that the people in my territory know about it so that they holeheartedly support us, and we can easily keep on governing them At present, it is important that we create this ministry and have them undertake this mission”
