On the second day after Fengxiang was upgraded to a city, the fifth batch of chefs and weaver apprentices were sent out at the same time, and the output of the breweries and weaving workshops in the territory was further increased.

It is worth mentioning that Fengxiang City has another senior chef, and the production increase of Fengxiang's brewery is expected to accelerate. This senior chef is also an adventure player, and this player named Zou Rong is a woman like the human steamer, so it seems that the temptation of food is quite strong!

With the increase in the number of cooks, the amount of grain consumed by the brewery gradually increased, but fortunately, the "selling grain" action criticized by a certain city lord stopped not long after it began, and the income obtained from the new Baihua wine and silk could completely cover the income from selling grain, so that Fengxiang's grain still had a surplus after meeting various needs.

Speaking of the problem of food, Ah Niu was in Wangsheng Town, which was next to Fengxiang, at this time, and learned about the profession of "farmer" up close. The agricultural community needs high-level farmers to build, and the agricultural community is of great significance to Fengxiang: the proportion of Fengxiang's agricultural population is quite high, even if you only look at the direct territory, there are three townships with a total of 8ooo agricultural population, after the establishment of the agricultural community can be studied and improved on agricultural tools and species, such a "technological revolution" is obviously of great significance to Fengxiang.

Before seeing the description of the "farmer's society", Ah Niu never realized that the "farmer" who was ubiquitous in ancient times turned out to be a kind of technical talent, and there was no essential difference between it and skilled talents such as blacksmiths!

For such a "hidden attribute", a certain city lord was really a little speechless. Come to think of it, although farming is also a profession, it is really difficult to accept it as a technical talent, but the world and the earth system are the largest, not to mention that this matter did not have any negative impact on Feng Xiang's exhibition, and a certain city lord was just a little surprised.

After the population of Wangsheng Town was replenished, the population of the territory was close to full. Just in Wangsheng Town, there are more than 6o senior farmers among the nearly 4ooo villagers, and there are nearly 1,000 intermediate farmers! Feng Xiang's most powerful "technical team" is obviously no longer suitable for blacksmiths, and this result makes Ah Niu can't help but be surprised and delighted.

With so many talents, it is obviously very beneficial to the exhibition of the territory. The skill level of talents will affect production efficiency, the higher the level, the higher the productivity, if the skill level of the farmers in Wangsheng Town is above the advanced level, then it is not impossible for the grain production of Wangsheng Town to increase by twice or even more under normal circumstances! This kind of thing is obviously good news for Ah Niu, who has always attached importance to food.

But from another point of view, the interest of a certain city lord is not so high. I didn't know that farmers also scored grades, and Feng Xiang's "Recruiting Craftsman Order" benefits never considered the hard-working farmer brothers, but now after understanding the truth, it is really a bit unreasonable to say that he will not level a bowl of water. However, there are so many farmers in Fengxiang, in strict accordance with the subsidy method of the "Recruiting Craftsman Order", the seemingly infinite scenery of the "first city in the world" will immediately break the capital chain and go bankrupt!

"My lord, in fact, this matter should not be so complicated, although the peasants are also divided into ranks, but I am afraid that the farmers in the territory themselves will not think that the 'Recruiting Order' applies to them. Who wouldn't be able to farm? At best, it's just a good job. The salary level in the territory is already very high, and all the salaries have just been adjusted a few days ago, and I believe that even if the lord maintains the status quo, the farmers in the territory will not have any rebound. "The matter of releasing the subsidy is the responsibility of the administrative center of the Chen Palace, and this gentleman naturally knows what is going on.

I have to admit that Chen Gong's words have a great temptation to a certain city lord. Feng Xiang's salary standard is already extremely high, and although the peasants shouldered the heavy responsibility of producing food in the Three Kingdoms era, they had no social status, and it was not a big deal for Ah Niu to "blur" this matter in the past. At the very least, Ah Niu believes that the farmers in Fengxiang will never have much backlash, and they may not even be able to hear a word of nagging!

The villagers of Fengxiang are very simple, and a series of governance behaviors of a certain city lord before this have been recognized by the people in the territory.

"Having said that, I still feel uneasy if I do that. People don't stand without faith, since our previous 'Recruiting Order' has been released, if we can't keep our promise now, who will dare to believe in us Fengxiang without reservation after it is passed out? A Niu is also very distressed about this, this matter is related to the image of the territory, to put it bluntly, it is a test of "government credibility", if it is not handled well, the trouble may not be ordinarily big.

"But there is a reason for this, at least the lord did not know the existence of the profession of farmer when he issued the decree of recruitment! It's not that the palace is reluctant to bear the money, but now that the territory has just been upgraded to a city, and the expenses on construction and army expansion are extremely huge, it is impossible to bear this cost. ”

Chen Gong was still unwilling to give up his efforts. As the actual person in charge of Fengxiang's daily affairs, Chen Gong knew very well that after Fengxiang was upgraded to a city, liquidity had become very tight. The income of the territory has indeed increased greatly, but it is still a little insufficient compared to the huge expenses, and the wise man has begun to worry about this matter in the past two days.

In fact, Chen Gong is not an unreasonable person, and if he goes deeper, Ah Niu seems to be making trouble for himself in this matter. It is benevolent and righteous to be willing to subsidize farmers, and no one will say that Ah Niu is unreasonable if they are not willing to subsidize, the crux of the problem is that Feng Xiang does not have so much money now!

Ah Niu was silent for a while, and finally raised his head, Chen Gong only looked at the eyes of a certain city lord, and knew that this matter had been settled and irreversible.

"Although this can be done or not, but in my opinion, between the reputation of the territory and the money, the former is obviously more important! Even if our villagers can ignore it, Ah Niu himself can't let go, everyone needs to be responsible for their own behavior! ”

"Everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions!" Chen Gong silently recited this sentence in his heart, and Ah Niu's meaning was already obvious.

"I also understand that the public platform is for the sake of the territory, and Fengxiang's economic crisis is temporary, and it will pass after a while, but the people's support is long-term. Just because we don't have enough money to deliver on our promises now doesn't mean we'll never be able to deliver on our promises. Ah Niu chuckled lightly and looked at Chen Gongdao.

Chen Gong's eyes lit up, the reason why this gentleman opposed the subsidy of the "Recruiting Order" at this time was not that Chen Gong attached great importance to money, and the financial situation of the Guy Territory did not allow it. Ah Niu's implication was not to fulfill everything in front of him, and such a workaround made Chen Gong's worries seem redundant.

"What does the lord mean is that we will gradually release the farmer's subsidy according to the economic situation of the territory, until we finally fully fulfill the promise?"

"Not bad. We can put up a proclamation to inform all the villagers about the situation they are facing. Although the territory is now financially strained, this phenomenon will gradually ease as most buildings begin to work. I've already roughly calculated that it is still possible to settle the subsidy for senior farmers in one lump sum. ”

In Feng Xiang's direct territory, there are as many as 126 high-level farmers, but there is not a single grandmaster-level farmer among so many talents, which makes a certain city lord feel a lot regretful. The subsidy for 126 senior farmers needs 3276oo gold, and Fengxiang can still take out this money, but after this "robbery", it is impossible to think about "extravagance and waste" in a short period of time.

Chen Gong understood that Ah Niu had made up his mind, and a certain city lord's plan was indeed feasible, so he didn't say anything more. In fact, Chen Gong faintly guessed another meaning of Ah Niu: now only subsidizing senior farmers will undoubtedly form a strong stimulus for junior and intermediate farmers, and under such stimulation, only by working hard to improve their skills can they avoid suffering again!

Want a subsidy? Yes! Raise the level to advanced or higher!

And after the skill level of the villagers in the territory is improved, of course, Feng Xiang is the one who benefits, and Ah Niu's move is really "wise" enough.

Soon, the first announcement after Fengxiang was upgraded to a city came out. The proclamation gives a general description of the current financial situation of the territory (in fact, Feng Xiang began to experiment with transparent governance at the township level), as well as the subsidy method for farmers' occupations. Subsidies were given to high-ranking farmers in their direct territories first, and then to become colonials when economic conditions improved.

The villagers up and down Fengxiang expressed their understanding and support for this announcement, especially the large number of farmers, who did not expect to be treated equally with other skilled talents. Although Ah Niu failed to cash out all the farmers' skill subsidies at once this time, the kind villagers did not say "good" to a certain city lord.

The territory has just been upgraded, and the cost of construction and army expansion is so great, and the lord has directly doubled everyone's salary a few days ago! Now it's just a "later" subsidy, what else can you hope for?

The loyalty and support of the villagers of Fengxiang to the territory is slowly improved through these details.

In fact, this matter quickly spread all over Qingzhou, and there is a saying that has gradually become the consensus of many NPCs: In Fengxiang City, no matter what profession there is, there is a day to get ahead!

Shortly after the announcement came out, a certain city lord was directly knocked down by a system announcement.

"Ding-dong. Zheng Aniu, the city lord of Fengxiang City in Qingzhou, loves the people, and the 8ooo farmers who belong to the territory sincerely support Zheng Aniu, and his ardent feelings move the world and meet the conditions of the hidden task 'The Yellow Emperor's favor', do you accept the task? ”

Ah Niu's mind was stunned for a while, but the sensitivity to the task, especially the hidden task, still made Ah Niu react subconsciously. For the hidden task of stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it, of course, there is a mistake in killing, and it is strange not to take it. (To be continued)
