Chapter 264 (2/2)
After drying for three days, the wheat was all stuffed into bags and weighted
“Your Highness, this was a great harvest!” In the afternoon, Barov excitedly rushed into the office, “According to the preliminary statistics from City Hall, each field's allocated output was at least fourfold hest outputeven reached six tih to fill all your subject's belly”
“Is that so?” Roland couldn't help but laugh, “It seeer be so empty”
“Do you knohat this means?” The expression on the City Hall's Premier Minister seemed to be even more excited than Roland's, “Border Town only needs to increase their numbers of farmers by 2000, and ill be able to satisfy the food consumption of 50'000 to 60'000 people! This is simply inconceivable, Border Town can definitely expand to beconificent city in the whole mainland!”
The main reason why the city's population of this era didn't increase was because that the food production capability was just too s's City that hadvillages to provided thee would once more needed almost one thousand or two thousand people, if even just half of the, it could be estimated that nearly twenty thousand people were needed to support another twenty thousand In other words, a far their family and themselves was up to one other city resident's
This was the so-called invisible restriction of production capability Roland feared it would be difficult for Barov to i, just one person’s output was enough to support tens of thousands of people And that Border Town, in the absence of developing and spreading of agricultural technology, was still able to acquire this kind of buically transformed ”Golden Ones”

In the evening, Roland once again held a bonfire speech at the shore of the Redwater River - it seeo, it was evening, there was a roaring fire in the background, the crowd forht fell over everyone's face The only difference to that day was the expression on each person's face, co of when they had arrived and were feeling both terrified and uneasy, their faces on this day were all bri with joy at the bumper harvest and couldn't conceal the expectation in their eyes
Roland stretched out his hand anddown i for the Prince to fulfill his promise
“I knohat you want to hear,” he did not follow his usual practice of first announcing his naht to the matter, “- I can tell you without a doubt, that the previously announced rules of promotion are still valid and will hold!”
Just this sentence was enough to detonate the atmosphere of the scene, not one person there could restrain the out loud, many people fell on their knees and praised the Prince’s kindness “Long live the Lord!” “Long live His Royal Highness!”
“After the end of the grain weighing, the promotion list will be announced,” the moment the shouts had subsided a little, Roland continued, “The City Hall will be responsible for your promotion to a freed person At that ti or come find a new job in Border Town”
”Also, starting from next year, if your harvest next year is the same as those promoted this year, even if the output is not on the forefront, you will still be freed In other words, as long as you work hard, you will be able to rid yourself of your status as serfs - as I said, 'labor creates wealth, labor changes destiny'” He paused for a moment, looked around and then continued, ”I hope that in the coer any serfs in Border Town, and everyone will be my real subject”
The ly resonated throughout the sky above the Redwater River
