As a magic caster, Roland did find it difficult to understand Nikita's profound and complex magic theory, but this did not prevent him from being optimistic about the development prospects of "magic engineering", and he was optimistic that Nikita's research work would bring immeasurable benefits. To this end, he not only funded research on magic engineering, but also foresaw the great impact of this discipline on the future society.

"First of all, the theoretical breakthrough of magic guide engineering will definitely promote the rapid popularization of magic guide and the cost will be greatly reduced."

"Secondly, the caster class will have to adjust its mentality due to the impact of the popularization of magic guides, and will be forced to lower the price of spellcasting, and the era of price monopoly of spellcasters will come to an end."

"In short, the research you are engaged in now is actually smashing your own and your peers' jobs," Roland said his prediction for the future, smiling and patting Miss Mage's fragrant shoulder: "Fortunately, in the long run, in a market with full competition, symmetrical information, clear property rights, and zero transaction costs, the price of hiring a mage to cast spells and the price of buying a magic guide to cast spells will eventually reach an equilibrium, but considering that the ideal market environment is difficult to achieve, mages still have the opportunity to make excess profits, so you don't have to worry about losing your job in the future." ”

"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds amazing! ”

Just as Roland couldn't understand arcane principles, so did Nikita understand his inexplicable economic principles, but that didn't prevent them from communicating in other ways, from physical to spiritual.

……

Time passed in a hurry, and the weather warmed up day by day. In July, the plane trees on both sides of the streets of Colasbourg sway their branches in the hot wind with the chirping of cicadas, and the ladies also change into colorful dresses and walk together on the summer streets, gathering into a cool and eye-catching scenery.

On such a sunny and quiet afternoon, Roland had no chance to admire the street girls, and was forced to sit in the cabinet chamber with a group of "old smokers", enduring the second-hand smoke that surrounded him from all sides, and felt like he was about to become a smoked chicken.

In addition to the foul air, the conference hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere. On a whim, His Majesty Rudolph proposed to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate the harvest of early rice in the Far East, which was unanimously approved by the ministers present.

July is the season for the early rice harvest. In the past year, there has been basically no major chaos in the Far East, and the country's peace and security, coupled with the good weather and rain, have not surprised the bumper grain harvest.

What really made His Majesty Rudolph happy was the yield of early rice per mu on the state-owned farms, which had generally increased by 20 percent on the basis of last year, which shows that last year's bumper harvest was not a coincidence, that the rural construction and agricultural reform presided over by Roland were fruitful, and that the agricultural technology of the Far East had continued to improve in the past year, which had stimulated a huge potential for increasing production.

Roland initially selected a total of 200 state-owned farms for a pilot basis, which was expanded in 1622 to now have more than 600 state-owned farms. One of the largest farms is located in southern Xinjiang, with Tianshui Town as the center, reclaiming 800,000 acres of fertile land, which is expected to become a cotton base in the Far East.

Except for the large farms in southern Xinjiang, the rest of the farms are not so large, with an average of more than 20,000 acres of cultivated land, and the main industry is to grow grains. About half of the 600 state-owned farms are located in the southern river valley plains, which are suitable for growing double cropping rice. According to statistics submitted by Agriculture Minister Jodele, 3 million tonnes of early rice are expected to be purchased this season, more than 80 percent of which will come from state-owned farms. According to the most conservative estimates, the annual collection of grain from the state treasury in 1622 will not be less than 8 million tons, at least double the amount of grain collected from last year.

State-owned farms have undoubtedly become the main force of agriculture in the Far East. According to the census report submitted by Lyudmila and Tonya, there are currently only more than 1,000 villages in the Far East with more than 1,000 inhabitants, excluding those living in the northern mountains, forests and snowfields, and most of the villages suitable for promoting large-scale agriculture have been communized and transformed into state-owned farms.

In other words, the vigorous rural communization movement in the Far East in the past two years has come to the second half, and the focus of the work of the Ministry of Agriculture next year will be to try to relocate the small villages in the mountains and mountains as a whole and merge them into nearby collective farms, so as to fundamentally change the poor and isolated living conditions of the mountain people, provide them with perfect medical and educational services, and at the same time provide urgently needed labor for the rapidly growing collective farms, so that they can continue to reclaim wasteland, expand the area under cultivation, and give full play to the advantages of modern agriculture in scale.

Mr. Jodel calculated at the cabinet meeting that after the early rice harvest, the total amount of grain stored in the state-owned grain depot plus new grain had exceeded 5 million tons. With the spring wheat harvest coming in August, it will be another bumper harvest. In this rainy season, hundreds of tons of grain from the state treasury sprout and mildew every day due to improper storage, and have to be moved out to make vinegar or simply used as livestock feed.

The Minister of Agriculture is worried about his life, and the treasury is worried about the lack of grain, and the backlog of grain is also worried.

"Instead of piling up the grain in the warehouse and wasting it in vain, it is better to sell it as soon as possible and exchange it for real money."

Roland understood Yodel's eagerness to sell the stockpile, but it was too early to rush to sell it. The colonial war between the Asshan Empire and Feizhen and Hailan has been fought for a whole year, and the two sides have stationed troops in Jotunheim, and the battle situation is in a stalemate. According to this situation, Feizhen and Hailan will have to buy a large amount of military rations this year, and Foreign Minister Kun Tiliang is communicating with the diplomats of the two countries, and if nothing else, they can sell 1 million to 1.5 million tons of grain at last year's prices.

Another major importer of grain is Canaan. Since Roland and Colossa signed an economic cooperation agreement in Medea in December last year, half a year has passed, and now half a year has passed, the main line of the Southern Railway from Colasburg to Mochizuki City has been opened to traffic, and the section from Medes to Mochizuki City is also working overtime, according to the prediction of Transport Minister Matvey, the whole line will be opened to traffic by the end of this year at the latest. Thanks to the ease of rail transportation, the Far Easterners were able to transport grain directly to the Medesian bazaars, transforming the border fortress into a wholesale grain market in Canaan.

"Not long ago, I corresponded with Crown Prince Glopha Zion of Canaan, and reached a verbal agreement that our country would export 1 million tons of grain to Canaan at a discount of 20 million gold talers, and this money would be used to import military Pegasus and a full set of cotton textile equipment from Canaan." Roland smiled and said good news, which relieved the Minister of Agriculture.
