Chapter 1497: Sister Snow Mountain

The propaganda and mobilization meeting ended successfully, and the two keynote speakers were so tired that they returned to the airship and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Lyudmila and Tonya hurriedly had breakfast and went their separate ways as usual: Tonya took a few young people from the Ministry of Agriculture to visit Sand Rose, walk and talk in the fields, and learn more about the current situation and development potential of agriculture in the Crescent Valley. From time to time, Tonya writes a few lines of text, and after the visit she writes a report to the Cabinet on the agricultural problems of the region, and the data and information recorded are of reference value.

Lyudmila stayed in town with the census team, handing out questionnaires from house to house. Patiently explain what the more obscure words on the form mean and why you should investigate them...... If none of the surveyed households have literacy skills, they are also responsible for filling out the questionnaire on their behalf.

As she walked down the street, Lyudmila was pleasantly surprised to find that she had never been so popular as she was today. She was followed by a large group of teenagers, including half-giants, humans, halflings, and dwarves, ranging in age from 8 to 18, who all called her "Sister Snow Mountain" and begged her to make another snowfall...... These bear children obviously didn't have fun playing in the snow yesterday!

The half-giant girls in the town also gathered around Lyudmila curiously, they rarely saw human girls look so tall, and it was natural to ask if "Sister Snow Mountain" was their own race, which half-giant tribe they came from, and why they were dressed differently and their skin color was different......

"Sister Snow Mountain, your skin is so white and delicate!"

"Hahahaha~~ I'm not so white, the main thing is that the maintenance is good." Lyudmila is simply overjoyed, the sky has eyes, and finally it is the turn of others to envy Miss Ben's good skin! When I first went north to Kitland, I didn't know how to maintain it when I was young, and I was burned like black charcoal by the hot sun, and I really can't look back on it!

Proud and proud, "Sister Snow Mountain" still has to tell the truth to those half-giant little sisters: "Sister, I was born in the Kitlands on the Lucia Plateau, I belong to the sub-giants, and the blood of the half-giants is relatively far away, and we Kitlanders do not have any psionic talents. โ€

"I heard that the Lucia Plateau is full of ice and snow, and the sun is not as hot as our desert area, no wonder Sister Snow Mountain is so white, tender and beautiful."

There was silence around Lyudmila, and both the half-giant girl and the boy fell into a reverie. The girl would rather trade her natural abilities for the fair and delicate skin of "Sister Snow Mountain"; The boy fantasizes about being born on the Lucia Plateau, and rolling in the ice and snow all day long.

After a busy day of investigation, Lyudmila's team preliminarily counted the following data:

There are about 845 permanent residents in Sweetwater Town, with a total of 5,536 people, including 2,460 half-giant residents, accounting for about 44% of the total population of the town, all of which belong to the "Hot Wind Tribe".

The Half-Giants are on average not highly educated, and have a slightly lower level of intelligence than the human inhabitants of the town, but they are all gifted with psionic abilities, including forty-seven adult psychic warriors (mostly male), a transcendent profession inherited from the ancestors of the Half-Giant tribe; There are also twelve Green Druids (all women), a transcendent lineage brought back by Sand Rose from the Harvest Ring, and all of the town's druids are her disciples, who not only contribute to agricultural production, but also provide low-cost medical care to the townspeople.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lyudmila instructed the census team to conduct a questionnaire survey on mental attributes among all children between the ages of 8 and 15 in Sweetwater, from which 200 children with parasensory representations were selected, and with the consent of the children's parents, they were planned to be sent to the Soul Academy of the Kingdom of Kolas in the Silver Sky in batches to receive guidance from Ms. Eltaran to fully develop these children's psychic talents. The excellent perceptual attributes mean that these children are suitable for training in the direction of "Psychic Samurai...... By the way, it can also provide more "child labor" for the Star Factory in the Silver Sky - in fact, these twelve or thirteen-year-old half-giant boys are tall and sturdy enough to exceed the average adult human standard.

In addition to the demographic survey, Lyudmila's team also conducted a preliminary survey of the natural resources of the town of Sweetwater and the Crescent River Valley, which was regarded as filling in the gaps in the "land survey" work they had previously presided over.

Nestled on the banks of the Crescent River, Sweetwater is blessed with abundant water resources compared to the desert region across the border, with the constant flow of water that nourishes the pastures and farmland of the valley plains, with cotton, wheat and corn being the three most common crops in the region.

More than seventy percent of the farmland reclaimed in Sweetwater is shared by the Hot Wind tribe, which is not only a remnant of the "primitive communism" of the early matrilineal clan tribes, but also the social practice of the principles of collective farms, joint production, and equal distribution promoted by the "Ring of Harvest"โ€”that is, what Far Eastern scholars call "Valentinaism"โ€”in the border region.

Today, the "Valentina Doctrine" pursued by the Druids of the Green Fields has become outdated due to the lack of effective incentives for distribution, and Roland has inherited this theory and made bold innovations, which have been tested by 200 experiments in agricultural reform. The success of the agricultural reform prompted Valentina and her disciples to agree with the direction of Roland's reform, and its theoretical system for guiding agricultural production was further enriched and improved, which was called the "Valentina-Koras model" by the academic community, which not only occupied a mainstream position in the field of political economy in the Far East, but also attracted the attention of those people of insight who were also committed to social reform in the Vares countries and even the New World, and tried to implement the "Valentina-Koras model" in the local area. Whether this model is universal or not needs to be proved by the experimental results of social reformers everywhere, while experiments in the field of social sciences always require a long and tortuous process.

Sand Rose welcomes the Agrarian Reform policies being implemented by the Korras government from her teacher, but life remains the status as it is until the central government of Krasborough appoints a priest and sheriff to reorganize the government of Sweetwater.

In fact, most of the residents of Sweetwater are satisfied with the status quo, and thanks to the presence of Sand Rose, a high-ranking green field druid, and many of his druid disciples, all the crops in Sweetwater are carefully cared for, and the yield is much higher than in the rest of the territory, which allows the residents of Sweetwater to live and work in peace and contentment, but also inevitably attracts redness and jealousy.
