Arriving at the cooperative so soon, Xia Duo noticed that there were many pages folded in the "Agricultural Book" on the table, and if he traced his memory in combination with the book itself, he could even find out which pages the other party folded.

But at this time, as soon as Master Yerevan's words came out, Xia Duo immediately realized that the master may not know how to work hard, nor does he not know how to deal with natural disasters, or other problems.

Maybe it's just to use such a reason to open the topic, or to take a priori his success as an author, the other party may really want to hear about the cooperative!

Xia Duo was surprised in his heart, but his mind turned extremely fast, his face remained unchanged, and he asked the master: "I don't know what the master wants to know about the cooperative?" ”

In the "Book of Agriculture", he has already clarified the way in which cooperatives are organized, and if you just ask about the details of cooperatives, then read the book.

"First of all, let's talk about why you came up with the idea of cooperatives, you must know that private ownership of land has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now that you have created such a cooperative, do you want to take back the land in disguise in this way?"

Master Yerevan's questions were insightful and almost immediately discerned the inner core of this way of organizing.

It is true that if this kind of cooperative is established in the current Nesser, even as a farmer who provides the means of production, after the establishment of the cooperative, he may not be able to enjoy all the benefits.

After all, above them, there is a lord watching, and even in Xia Duo's "Book of Agriculture", this way of organization is supposed to teach the lords to organize the peasants to form cooperatives.

The process and result will certainly not be as ideal as Xia Duo expected.

If there are lords who use the form of cooperatives to reclaim the land that has been divided and sold for a long time, so that the original landed peasants become landless serfs, then Xia Duo will not be surprised.

So how do you answer this question?

Master Yerevan may have genuinely cared about ordinary people, or perhaps he was like most of the other lords, although he was born into an ordinary person, he thought that he was no longer an ordinary person.

Their care and affection may be more out of classical lordship, or simply a hypocrisy to show benevolence.

But since this kind of behavior can still be called "good", even if it is only hypocrisy, it means that in the perception of most people, or strictly speaking, most spellcasters, they are still among ordinary people.

A handful of the higher-ups have not been able to break the window paper after all, or rather, they have not been able to break it until now.

Thinking like this, Xia Duo slowly spoke: "Actually, the question asked by the master is actually a little too far away in my opinion.

"For me, I'm more concerned about whether the average person will have enough to produce enough to cope with famine in the current abnormal climate, especially if the current abnormal climate does not last for an unknown amount of time.

"The biggest effect of the cooperative organization I have proposed is not to increase the yield of the fields, but to bring together many farmers to share the risk of famine.

"It is impossible for abnormal weather to make all land yield significantly reduced at the same time, there will always be land that maintains a certain yield even in abnormal climate, and cooperatives use this part of the land with high yield to cover the output of the originally reduced land."

Of course, this is only the first level of intention in Xia Duo's plan, and he really needs to use this way to allow more ordinary people to survive natural disasters smoothly.

But on top of that, he hopes to use this method to improve the efficiency of agriculture and generate more surplus people.

And this part of the surplus population, in addition to being able to turn to other more profitable industries under the planning of the local lords, Xia Duo himself can also recruit some from it.

After all, there was no shortage of lords in Nethriel who didn't treat their people as human beings, and as long as they found that the population needed for their realm to function properly had decreased, they would always find ways to reduce these seemingly unnecessary burdens.

In addition, when industries other than agriculture develop, new markets may emerge that can afford to mass-produce magical items.

The Tower of Time's current mass-produced magic items are mainly sold to spellcasters, and if the purchase group is expanded to a wider range of ordinary people, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the time for Xia Duo to accumulate resources in the early stage.

The key to this, to a large extent, is to find a way to get the wealth to circulate from the caster to the common people.

It is almost impossible to achieve this by agriculture alone, after all, the caster has the ability to build an arcane garden, and even if they don't eat a bite of food grown by ordinary people, they will not starve to death.

Only industries other than agriculture, such as costumes, gastronomy, art, and other industries that the caster does not want to engage in directly, can be consumed by the caster, thus completing the transfer of wealth.

Of course, if it is in the Great Xia Ling, Xia Duo will also transfer wealth downward in the name of the official, such as building new public facilities, opening compulsory education, increasing jobs, raising basic wages, etc.

However, these involve the future planning of the Great Xia Leader, so there is no need to explain it to Master Yerevan here.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

……

In Shado's opinion, just mentioning a little "risk sharing" is enough to deal with Master Yerevan, and the actual situation is similar to what he thinks.

After hearing such an explanation, Master Yerevan could not help but exclaim, "You are really a generous and merciful lord, and in you I see the figure of a former companion. ”

In Yerevan's youth, becoming a spellcaster was sought after, but those who cast spells rarely achieved a more transcendent status, which added additional responsibilities.

At that time, the caster might work with ordinary people during the day, and at night, he would also play the role of vigil.

To them, magic is just a novelty of the elves, or just a tool that can be used to explore.

Although there are reasons why elven magic is not suitable for humans, it at least shows that most of today's spellcasters have forgotten their original intentions and regard magic as superior capital.

Thinking of this, Yerevan felt a little sad in his heart, because of his long lifespan, he had personally watched the color-resistant magic system be established and perfected little by little, and the power of magic continued to grow.

It's just that in the process, the casters are a little lost, and they are no longer as simple as they used to be.

Seeing such an empire, Yerevan had an unusually strong premonition in his heart, if it continued to develop like this, the spellcasters of Netherel might completely distance themselves from ordinary people, or even develop into two completely different races!

If he survived until then, he might as well die at this moment, because that Naseril was no longer his kingdom!

At this moment, Yerevan suddenly asked a digression:

"Lord Shado, why do you care so much about the survival of ordinary people?"
