Chapter 630: The First Cry of the Evil Beast (6) Controls Dima
The news of Dima's bumper grain harvest soon spread to Bejara and Kodomi, as well as further away, but the farther countries were purely watching the show, because it was so far away, no matter how low Dima's grain prices were, it could not affect them, and the only ones who really needed to worry about it were Fei Argon and Ruiying Maiqiu.
However, Ruiying Maiqiu did not act, he was waiting for the attitude of Philippine argon, no matter how to say that Dima is also a vassal state subordinate to Philippine argon, it is not Ruiying Maiqiu's turn to worry, and if Philippine argon does not move, Ruiying Maiqiu naturally does not need to move.
So Fei Argon Yan summoned the nobles of the court to discuss this sudden incident, which made them feel very painful.
The custom of this world is that there are guilds of all trades, such as blacksmiths have blacksmiths, leathersmiths have leather guilds, cloth merchants have cloth guilds, and even villains have villain guilds.
In this world, there are usually only two kinds of resistance that can break the guild, one is that some nobles arrange their collateral or illegitimate children and demote them to guild merchants to ensure food and clothing, and the other is that there is a violent war, and the original guild is destroyed by violent means, otherwise the guild has a strong stability.
But among so many guilds, there was one profession that did not have a guild, and that was the grain industry.
Food, in the present age of the world, is a more valuable resource than gold and silver, which may depreciate and become valuable, but food will always have its own value.
Therefore, in terms of prohibiting the establishment of grain guilds, from the upper echelons of the state to the grassroots aristocracy, there is the same attitude, and this policy is also the most thorough policy.
In this case, although there were still specialized grain merchants in various places, they could not form a unified guild, and their forces were always scattered.
In the past, this situation was not a big deal, because food was always in short supply, don't look at the palaces and palaces everywhere, singing and dancing, banquets are continuous, and in the vast rural areas, famine is always a lingering shadow that plagues the villagers, so some people sell grain at a low price?
Therefore, when the Hers-style farmland was sold, the grain merchants everywhere were defeated, and it was difficult for them to sell their expensive grain, not to mention that they could not effectively resist because there was no guild organization.
And one thing is clearer is that the number of Hulse-style farmland planted by Dima this year is not much, but due to the stimulation of this autumn's harvest, the number of Hulse-style farmland will definitely be fully rolled out next year, and the grain sold at that time will be as fierce as the waves, and it is possible that there will be more and more every year!
If Dima was just an ordinary main city, the nobles from all over the country would have rushed up and eaten Dima into pieces, but unfortunately, Dima squatted a "madman", these farmlands were made by madmen, and the name of the immortal epic was quite loud, and at present, except for a few "pirate" raids, no nobleman has the courage to make a head bird and send his face to the door.
In this era, with the advent of the Hulse-style farmland, the price of grain has plunged to such an extent that even the top brass of Bejara does not know what this will bring, so they meet collectively to discuss, after all, collective responsibility is usually collective irresponsibility.
Leng Yi idle egg pain to see what the Bejara nobles have a high opinion, after listening to it for a long time, I found that I came to listen to this meeting is really idle egg pain, even if the collective is not responsible, these bird nobles are still playing football, from the beginning of the meeting has been playing for half an hour, Leng Yi is tired of listening.
So Leng Yi casually found a nobleman who had been snoring since the beginning of the meeting, knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention, and then made an excited expression: "Great joy, great joy, this grain production has gone up, it is undoubtedly a great joy for us Fei Argon!"
Finding that the nobleman had nothing of value, one of the nobles sneered after cutting it: "Of course it is a great event for Dima, for the 'madman', but will it be a great event for us? ”
At the beginning, the "Dima Compromise Act" gave up Dima's tax right because Dima paid very little tax to Urdoch, and the labor was also minimal, and it was a poor area second only to Gechi in Siber, so he lost Dima's tax, and the bigwigs of Behala were not distressed at all, and then today it hurts.
"But if you think about it from a different angle, is the Hirse-style farmland going to be cultivated, and more farmland to be cultivated? In this way, the experience of the 'madman' will be entangled in the field, and it is unlikely that he will again devote himself to the rebellion against the Filipino argon, so won't the 'madman' problem be solved?"
After listening to Leng Yi's explanation, the nobles of Bejara felt a little reasonable, but some nobles expressed their worries: "What should I do if I continue to do it for Dima like this, and the power of the 'madman' is getting stronger and stronger?"
Leng Yi directly blocked back: "The 'madman' is farming, at least it means that he is doing things, if he didn't do anything before, no one knows what he is doing when the palace gate is closed, can you rest assured?"
Not assured, of course not assured...... After the nobles who possessed him coldly said this, the nobles of Bejara felt that this was indeed the case, so their attitude towards Dima was settled: let him go.
After the meeting ended, several nobles who had befriended the nobleman who had been possessed by Leng Yi approached him and asked him why he was so shrewd today. ”
After Dima's autumn harvest this year, there was a big carnival, and the old followers sold a lot of grain and made a lot of money, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
The wealth of the old followers aroused the envy of the other Dima nobles, because of the protection of Hers, and the fact that the old followers were also nobles, so the other Dima nobles did not dare to take advantage of it, so they could only come to the door and ask to bring them in.
To the surprise of the apprehensive Dima nobles, the old followers agreed to this request very accommodatingly, but in exchange, they not only wanted to integrate into the Dima nobles, but also become the leaders of the Dima nobles.
Some aristocrats agreed, and were offered the use of the Herse-style farmland, while others refused and tried to get the Herse-style farmland, and as a result, there were many street fights in Dima's winter, and domestic servants tried to attack the Herse-style farmland.
In the face of these shameless aristocrats, Huls, who had not been down the mountain for a long time, personally took action, directly copied the other party's hometown, once warned, twice fined, and three expelled, so that Dima did not live in peace throughout the winter, and three nobles were expelled from Dima by Herls in this winter.
In the face of low-hanging fruit, the old followers and the Dima nobles who joined the old followers were red-eyed, and whoever dared to oppose Hulse would blow up their dog heads, and that spirit made Hulse feel that when the "Second Siber War" was in place, if his followers had this strength, they would not have been defeated so badly.
The winter of 2406 ended like this, the spring of 2407 came, and the spring ploughing of the new year was coming, this time it was no longer part of the field development, but all the nobles of the Herss faction were spread out in unison, and in an instant Dima's fields were densely packed with human heads, and even many "big" nobles personally rolled up their cuffs to join the cultivation.
If it is in the outside world, this kind of "big" aristocracy will inevitably be criticized for being unseemly, unable to find a suitable marriage partner or a trivial matter, and if there is no hard relationship above, it is likely to be kicked out of the aristocratic camp.
But this is Siber, or the least developed Dima region of Siber, before the "Second Siber War", these nobles were basically the illegitimate children of the lowest level or rural nobles, and it has only been more than 20 years, and it is not a big deal for them to cultivate it personally, especially when they can obtain rich benefits.
Under Hulse's protection, there were several incidents of destroying the fields, but none of them had much effect, and the bandits were soon found and hanged by Huls, who led the team himself, so that with the arrival of the autumn of 2407, Dima became a sea of joy.
A bumper harvest, another bumper harvest! And this year, thanks to the full spread of Hulse-style farmland, the yield is not the same as last year.
With this bumper harvest, the status of the old followers in the Dima nobility was completely established, and since then there is no longer any distinction between the old followers and other Dima nobles, the Dima nobles are the followers of Huls, and the Dima nobles who are not followers of Huls have become a minority.
When Hulse inspected the farmland, he looked at the farmers who were happy with the harvest and couldn't help but smile: "I can have a good year, I can have a good year." ”
"The amount of grain sold this year is the same as last year's, and the rest of the grain is stored in the warehouse, because there will be floods next year and a drought the year after," said Bharigu, who informed the other party of the weather conditions for the next two years.
In fact, the last two years were all drought, but it would not cause such a serious drought as a drought, but Leng Yi made a move to adjust the climate of the southern Xinjiang continent, which is the function of the "will of God", and Leng Yi has been in this world for so many years, and it is the first time to use this function.
Since there was going to be a famine, Boligu had to prepare in advance, one was to repair the warehouse, and the other was to build a water conservancy project provided by Leng Yi to better cope with the harsh climate on the farmland.
There is no need to rush about the climate, you can do it in winter, and as for the matter of repairing the warehouse, you can talk to the nobles now. After Boligu proposed to sell less grain this year and store the grain in the granary, he received the unanimous support of the nobles, who were traditional nobles after all, although the small money was cute, but the grain in the granary could reassure them.
When the news of this year's reduction in grain sales for storage was told to the merchants, the merchants were slightly dissatisfied but understandable, because storing grain was the normal operation of the nobles everywhere, and last year's practice of selling all the grain without leaving reserves was peculiar.
Dima was one of the most backward cities in Siber, and the public granaries were small and dilapidated, so the nobles rebuilt and strengthened the granary, naming it "Octavian's granary" to indicate that this was due to the contribution of Octavian Huls's leadership.
