Chapter Thirty-Eight: My Own Discovery

Then there were about ten men on horseback and ran in the other direction.

After the matter was done, the law enforcement hall master came to Mo Yu's side: "The city lord's matter has been done, I didn't expect the city lord to observe so carefully, it's really too late!"

Mo Yu didn't react much to this sycophant, just smiled lightly: "I originally wanted to come over to enjoy the scenery, but I accidentally found it, there is nothing special about it, it's just luck."

"The scenery outside the city is really good, but I haven't had time to come here for a long time to enjoy it." The head of the law enforcement hall also sighed.

"There's very little farmland here, right, why haven't you seen too much farmland for half a day?" Although Mo Yu said that he knew the amount of land, it was definitely not something that a city lord could know about where each town was farming, and there was no need to know such a thing.

"Back to the city lord, in fact, the land here is very large and the population is very small, basically our policy here is to use as much land as you want, as long as it is not an illegal building, basically you can give you as much land as you want to farm, but even in this case, there are still large areas of land that are deserted, overgrown with weeds, and slowly evolve into forests." The Law Enforcement Hall Master sighed.

The polar country is vast and sparsely populated, but Mo Yu doesn't know that it is so vast and sparsely populated.

In fact, this is already very good, in the south it does not take long to get out of the city to be able to have a town, in the north it is even more difficult to find, and the situation of land desertion is even more serious.

Of course, because the population is not so large, food can still be supplied, and most farmers still hope to grow more fields within their means.

Looking at this fertile land, in fact, Mo Yu was also a little distressed, the main reason for the distress was that the land by the river had not yet been planted, let alone those hills.

The land is easy to water and close to towns and cities, but if you are troublesome on such land, you don't know where those people are farming.

Mo Yu said to the head of the law enforcement hall: "In fact, it would be a good thing if some places could build buildings, but the policy of the extreme country was a bit too strict, in fact, if such a place could be used, I believe it would be excellent."

Of course, the law enforcement hall master only smiled and did not express his opinion.

Because the rental of some buildings is also an important financial source for the polar country, almost all the rental fees of the buildings in the city have to be handed over to the polar country.

Moreover, the rental fee is set by the state, and no one is allowed to make personal gain.

Of course, the price in and around the city gradually decreased, and almost no merchant family was able to acquire land in the city.

However, I have to say that the price of leasing is not so high, except for the city center, a little bit more than most businesses can accept.

And the price of this lease is even unchanged for 100 years, and you can sign a long-term contract, signing a contract with the state should be considered a relatively stable thing, and if the time is very long, some local officials on the government side can also make some small discounts.

Of course, this matter is not something that Mo Yu can handle, and generally financial issues are basically handled by the elders.

Then it belongs to the subordinate city building hall.

Of course, their task is not only to collect taxes and set prices, but also to maintain the buildings and public facilities in the city.

This public facility includes a lot of things, and even the entire city road is maintained by them, which is also a relatively large amount of work.

However, their main responsibility is to supervise, because such a project cannot be handed over to soldiers to do, and it is most cost-effective to find a professional business to undertake such a thing.

However, it is not known what benefits will be made from this.

Therefore, the construction of new buildings is basically not allowed, whether in the city or outside the city.

Except for some peasants' own houses in the towns, it is illegal to build buildings without permission in the country, and this criminal law is quite serious.

In the worst case, it is more than ten years, and then compulsory labor.

Therefore, the master of the law enforcement hall does not dare to evaluate such a thing too much.

In fact, Mo Yu also knew such a thing, but what he thought in his heart was different from what the top leaders of the Extreme Kingdom thought.

It is indeed a pity that such a great land is wasted.

In fact, Mo Yu only thought about some things for a small range of enjoyment, and did not think of a large range of considerations.

What Mo Yu wants is to build a house here, build a few fishing platforms by the river, and live a comfortable life every day.

However, the things that the high-level thinks can be imagined, if this opening is opened, those large merchants can occupy more land than can be imagined, and their buildings will definitely permeate all places outside the city.

Needless to say, there will be some chaos caused by the possibility of conflicts between merchants, between merchants and towns, and even between merchants and officials, which are all predictable.

The most important thing is that once this opening is opened, the finances of the polar countries will be greatly impacted, and if the finances are greatly impacted, it will simply have unimaginable consequences, and the construction of infrastructure, the salaries of soldiers, and so on and so forth, will all be greatly impacted.

A wide range of things will follow.

Not long after, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall said to Mo Yu if he could go.

Mo Yu still said the same thing, you don't have to ask me anymore if you are in charge of everything.

Then the law enforcement hall master set off with the rest of the people, so many people are so mighty, it will still attract the attention of some people.

When he walked further south, Mo Yu could see large fields of land, but the thing that made Mo Yu more suspicious was why these large fields were not by the river but in a huge plain.

Watering such a field is not a particularly easy task.

But after my own shallow thinking, coupled with the discovery of the next trip, I also generally understood the reason for this matter.

It is this large field that is particularly close to the town, which can save a lot of time for field work.

As for watering, drought is not common in the south, and there are emergency wells in the towns, which is a drop in the bucket for large fields, if there is a large-scale drought.

I didn't feel it at least just now, and I didn't think the river was much far from here, but if I really pulled the ox cart, the time should be not short, and there would be the transportation of the autumn crops.
