Chapter 757 (1/2)
The reform of agricultural mechanization not only brings the improvement of efficiency, but also brings the liberation of a large number of agricultural labor force, so that more farmers go to cities, enter other jobs and create more value.
Although agriculture is very important, it must be said that from the perspective of social development, the added value of agriculture is indeed very low.
”One to one thousand efficiency improvement.”
Donne said, ”this means that as long as we provide three agricultural magic machines to a farm, we can liberate the labor force of 1000 farmers.”
Speaking of this, Downton added: ”of course, only when we use the liberated labor force can we be regarded as a truly effective development. If we can't properly provide jobs for these unemployed farmers, they will only become a factor of social instability.”
Aurelia woke up: ”you mean that because of the emergence of these magic machines, there is no need for so much labor in agriculture, so we should guide them into the factories you want to support?”
”Yes.”
Donne snapped his fingers: ”the development of industry is inseparable from the labor force. Although we have technology to replace those workers, I don't want to do that. Only by accumulating experience in work and stimulating their innovative spirit can this race have vitality. If everything depends on one person, it will only end up in a dead end.”
”Well, let's listen to you. Anyway, the harvest month is coming soon. Maybe this year's grain output can give us an answer.”
Donne smiled and said, ”trust me, this year's grain output will give you a big surprise.”
Although civil strife broke out in the ilrus Empire during spring ploughing, which affected the farming work in many areas, after Donne succeeded to the throne, he made timely remediation. Coupled with the rapid promotion of agricultural magic energy machinery, the area of farming was even more than last year. Coupled with the use of magic energy sprinkler, the drought of farmland was well handled, This year is expected to be a rare harvest year.
”And the one from hornheim.”
Fiona reminded Donne.
”Oh, yes.”
Donne clapped his hands and said to Aurelia with a smile: ”on the issue of food, we have also obtained an alchemy technology called plant growth catalytic solution, which can not only increase production, but also shorten the growth time of plants -”
”It's impossible!”
OLINA, who had been sitting quietly beside her, widened her eyes: ”this is against common sense!”
”Nothing is impossible. The Druid's life divination can achieve the same effect.”
Donne said, ”it's just the power of alchemy. Angus is studying this technology. After we find out that it is officially put into production, you may see three or even four crops of wheat, vegetables and fruits a year.”
OLINA was shocked. If, as Donne said, the use of plant growth catalytic liquid can greatly shorten the planting and harvest time of farmland, coupled with the large-scale popularization of agricultural magic machinery, I'm afraid that in the next year, the grain production capacity of the Ilus empire will be doubled, and those poor people at the bottom who are hungry every day can eat enough, It can also create more value - which means that the Ilus empire will become richer and stronger!
It sounds simple to feed everyone, but it is a difficult problem that has not been solved since ancient times.
Not only the Ilus Empire, but also ronitant, who is very rich and whose per capita income is much higher than that of the Ilus Empire, has not been able to solve this problem at present.
It is only 167 years since the end of the second chaotic invasion war. For the long-lived species, it is like yesterday, and for the short-lived species, it has become history.
However, neither the long-lived species nor the short-lived species have recovered from the tragic war. For example, the Naga and nu Tao fish people who once occupied the whole abyss sea are now only a small area of vaskir. The dragon family who once ruled the whole sky is now quietly staying in the heart of the Dragon
The fragmented human country once fell into war, and it has only been a little peaceful in recent years, but the sudden reduction of population in the war has brought great difficulties to social development. The lack of population of basic agricultural labor force has led to insufficient food production. More than 50% of the population can't eat enough all year round, and 40% of the population has been in a state of hunger, Only 10% of people live a comfortable life.
Nobility? The aristocrats who occupy social resources are of course the exception.
Therefore, whoever can satisfy all the people under his rule will be called a famous King for thousands of years.
Once ronitant was the country closest to solving the problem of food and clothing for all, but now there are faint signs of anti transcendence in the ilrus empire.
Victor's wish has not been realized for a long time. Only half a year has passed since Donne succeeded to the throne, and he has seen hope. If he is given a few more years, perhaps the Ilus empire will really return to the peak of prandal.
No, no, maybe.
OLINA looked at Donne's side face and recalled what he had said that night in the wilderness.
After all, he is the hero sent by the gods to save the world.
How can it be difficult to defeat a human country?
”You don't have to worry about food. In a word, industrial transformation is imperative. It is impossible to become a powerful country only by relying on agriculture.”
Donne's words resonated with Fiona. Over the past year, she has personally experienced the changes in Ellington and deeply understood the impact of magic energy industry on society, higher production efficiency, higher quality, more jobs and greater wealth.
