Chapter 25 (2/2)
Donne thought for a moment and said, ”then mobilize and say what I say. For those who open up new farmland, the harvest tax of the new farmland will be exempted in that year and reduced by half the next year. I believe they will be happy to do it.”
Fiona gave Donne a white look, and the guy waved the banner of tax reduction again, but since he had decided, Fiona could only write it down.
”Lord!”
When the farmers in the field saw Donne, they stopped their work and saluted him.
Donne nodded, his eyes fell on the farm tools beside them, and he could not help frowning: ”Fiona, the farmers in the Empire use this kind of farm tools?”
The farm tools they use to take care of the farmland are actually made of wood.
”I think so. What's the matter?”
”Why not use iron?”
”Iron?”
Fiona widened her eyes: ”iron is so important. Of course, it is used to build weapons and armor to defend the country. How can it be used to build agricultural tools?”
Donne looked up at the sky speechless. A moment later, youyou said, ”Fiona, what do you say is the root of a country's stability?”
”The root of stability?”
Fiona obviously didn't think about it. After thinking about it, she said tentatively, ”the combat effectiveness of the army?”
”I think you are a strong master?”
Elsa put forward different opinions: ”if there are legendary experts in charge, the country will be much more stable.”
”Yes, that's not right,” Don shook his head. ”You don't see through the root. Whether it's the army or legendary experts, they are the people.”
”The country is people-oriented and food is the most important thing for the people. Eating is not only the most basic need for human survival, but also the eternal theme of national stability and social development.”
”If the people of a country can't even eat enough, and the problem they worry about every day is what to do with the next meal, how can the country be strong? Can it not be chaotic? On the contrary, if everyone in a country can eat enough and don't have to worry about hunger, people will naturally think about other things after eating enough, such as making money, exercising war skills and magic, enhancing combat effectiveness, and strengthening the country Our strength will be strong. ”
”Therefore, a strong agricultural foundation is the foundation of a country's stability.”
At this point, Donne suddenly asked, ”where's Brian?”
”I arranged a house for him this morning. He said he would decorate it, at least like a blacksmith's workshop.”
”Well.”
At the beginning, Tang en didn't expect that an important reason for the low grain output here was that the tools didn't meet the standard. Isn't this a joke? Iron must be used! Go back and talk to Brian.
After a while, we'll explore the world and study the magic power. Maybe we can integrate the agricultural machinery such as scarifier, planter and combine harvester? [e3]
Donne rubbed his chin and smiled strangely.
At this time, Donne was stunned: ”how can this place do this?”
