Menes has no idea about sending people to the head for the time being, giving the Nine Gods Legion some military material support is the most feasible way at present, for the Nine Gods Legion, this is already the biggest harvest of this request for help, and the envoy sent to Menes here is grateful to leave.

Menes quickly arranged the deployment of military supplies, publicized the generosity of the temple with great fanfare, and all the support materials for the contribution of the Kemert kingdom were given to the Nine Divine Legion in the name of the temple's high priest, Amenhoput.

When the news reached the Holy City, the whole city was glorifying the grace of the Temple, so that the Holy City had no choice but to admit this matter and reward Menes to the outside world.

When Queen Lily received Menes' letter, she laughed and praised Menes for her generosity, and even replied with a very ambiguous letter, looking forward to Menes' visit to Lily Harbor.

Menes is currently completely uninterested in paying attention to the Lily Queen, the flood season has passed, and the entire Kemert kingdom has entered a busy farming season.

The Kemert Kingdom is cultivated in a very primitive way and in the style of the Kemert Kingdom.

After the river god Harpy lost his temper, he left fertile land, the best parts of which were soft and rich in nutrients, and the Kemerts drove their domestic pigs, cattle and sheep directly into the fields, trampled the muddy ground with livestock, leaving potholes and vegetable fields, and then directly scattered the seeds.

Livestock run through the fields, eat some of the weeds and insects, and fertilize the fields as they eat, which is very rough but light, and this method of cultivation is only suitable for a small number of the most fertile riverside land, and the terrain is relatively high, and the farmland that needs irrigation does not work.

During this period, Menes also continued to improve some of the machinery and equipment in the territory, such as ox plows.

The Kemmer Kingdom used primitive wooden ploughs, which were pulled by oxen, and once they encountered relatively hard ground, they were very difficult to cultivate, slow and not deep enough.

Menes used the purchased black iron to make a batch of metal ploughs, ploughing the land at one time, and at the same time using horses to pull the plough luxuriously, the horse's belly belt was transformed into a shoulder strap, which can maximize the use of the horse's strength, coupled with the horse's speed, the efficiency of the whole farming is greatly improved.

Of course, the main concern of the entire territory at the moment is not farming, and everyone is focusing all their attention on the newly cultivated swampy farmland.

The great nobles eagerly look forward to the distribution of land, after all, we pay for the reclamation of land, of course we have the right to own the land, but Menes does not think so, Menes resolutely acts in accordance with the previous contract, only gives everyone dividends, and does not distribute land.

Some of the farmers involved in the swamp reclamation have already earned a hundred points, and according to the previous rules, they can allocate land, so they are also eagerly waiting for Menes' land allocation order.

In the entire swampy land, a total of 8,000 aru's land has been developed, and according to the previous standard work points, one aru's land can be allocated if the work points are 100 points, and at present, there are 365 farmers who meet this condition, and the total points reach 93,000 points, so someone can get several fields.

At the opening ceremony of the swamp farmland, Menes announced the distribution on the spot, and some farmers were directly allocated to five Aru's land on the spot, and they cried excitedly on the spot, and the family hugged their heads and cried, and people who didn't know thought that their father and mother had died in the family.

It makes sense to cry bitterly, five Aruhe lands can feed a family in the Kemert Kingdom.

The most important thing is that this is private land, Menes issued a land certificate, as long as the normal tax is paid to the state, the rest is their own, and can be passed on to their children in the future, the private land of the Kemert Kingdom is originally very small, so it is precious.

According to the previous agreement, a total of nearly 1,000 Aru's land was allocated, and about 7,000 Aru's land remained, which was a large piece of land, and the major nobles in the audience waited for Menes' distribution.

If you don't allocate it to the untouchables, you have to give it to someone else, right?

Menes cleared his throat on the stage and said, "For the remaining land, we will implement a contract system this time, and anyone can apply for a contract, and as long as the conditions are met, the land will be issued." ”

"Contracting?" everyone in the audience is blinded, what does this mean?

"Contracting, simply put, is leasing, but the difference with ordinary leasing is that these lands only need to pay state taxes on the regular property, and the excess belongs to everyone!"

"What? As long as you pay taxes, you don't have to pay rent? Yes, did you hear me right? How is this possible? How can there be such a good thing?" no one in the audience believed it.

As for the contract system, Menes of course refers to the system of its own country in the old world, which is equivalent to the fact that the land is still state-owned, and it is distributed to farmers for free, and the government only collects taxes, and farmers get more for their work!

Of course, the contract is conditional.

Menes beckoned everyone to be quiet and continued, "There are conditions for contracting: first, the contract period is set at three years, and you can apply again after the expiration of three years, and the government will review whether the conditions are met?"

"Secondly: the applicant must undertake to cultivate, pay taxes on the land on time, not to sublease, not to buy or sell, not to abandon the land, but if any of the above acts are found, the land will be recovered. ”

"The priority of the second applicant is: 1. Farmers without land. 2. The family land is less than two aru. 3. The family size is more than five people, and the land is less than three Aru. 4. Local farmers who have made special contributions to the territory. ”

"Finally: the maximum amount of land allocated to each family is five aru and must not be exceeded. ”

After Menes finished talking about his land distribution policy, there was an uproar in the audience, and the most angry was the nobles of the territory, who were about to fry the pot.

According to this principle of distribution, no nobleman can distribute land, this is completely giving land to the untouchables, where do the interests of the nobility go?

"Menes, we have paid for the land reclamation, why don't we have our share in the land allocation?" a nobleman asked on the spot.

"Yes, we paid for the land, why didn't we?

"We are not convinced, we will sue to the White City, to the Holy City, and ask the high priest to administer justice. ”

"Jet, Butehamun, you are also nobles, don't you come out to speak, or take the benefits of Menes!" The noise came one after another, and frightened a group of commoners who lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, as if their land was not allocated.

"Bang!" there was a loud bang, and everyone was startled.

Only to see Menes' divine punishment mummy, smashed a huge stone to pieces.

Ankotivi II, who couldn't see the wine bag and rice bag, grew a lot of strength after becoming a mummy, and actually smashed a big stone to pieces.

Everyone looked at the mummy in horror and quieted down.

"Number 13, don't be impatient!" Menes said lightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can look at your bonds, have I promised to give you land? I am borrowing money from you to reclaim the land, not letting you buy shares, and according to the contract, will I give you less dividends?"

"Do you want to rob my land after taking my interest?" suddenly cried Menes.

The nobles in the audience bowed their heads and muttered, what they said was right, everyone was not optimistic about this project at that time, so they just lent money to Menes, and did not say anything about the distribution of land, but the distribution of land is the rights and interests of the nobles, how can it be said that it will be abolished?

"If you are not satisfied, you can go to the White City or the Holy City to complain, anyway, I have a lot of crimes, and I don't care about these more articles, but you all live in the Holy Cat City, and you all swore allegiance to me, how should you be punished for openly rebelling now?" Menes asked, looking at Jett.

Jett smiled and did not answer Menes, Jett and Menes disagreed on this issue, and the distribution of some land to unemployed farmers was conducive to the tranquility and prosperity of the territory, but such a large-scale distribution of land did not take into account the interests of the nobles at all, and this Jett did not approve.

After all, the aristocracy in the city is the main elite of this territory, they control wealth, personnel, public opinion, etc.

The most important thing is that they also have the cultural knowledge of the territory, but anyone who wants to find someone who can write cannot avoid this group of nobles.

Menes also considered this problem, the elite of the city is still concentrated in the aristocracy, and Menes also needs their support, but Menes does not plan to encircle and cultivate the landed aristocracy, Menes needs to cultivate new commercial aristocrats to replace the stubborn landed aristocracy.

This group of landed aristocrats will only lie on the land and suck blood, without the slightest sense of adventure and enterprise, and lack the motivation to forge ahead, so they must be stripped from the agricultural land and more involved in commercial and industrial activities.

It is an indisputable fact that Menes' territory lacks enough land, no matter how powerful Menes is, he cannot create land out of thin air, so the development of the territory must be based on industry and commerce, and if this group of nobles still wants to lie on the land and eat rent, then the territory has no future.

Menes needed to tie up this group of landed nobles to their industrial and commercial chariots and expand into new worlds.

Don't worry about the nobles rebelling, now neither the Holy City nor the White City have spare time to manage this kind of thing, and the nobles in this remote area are lacking in strength, and there is no one in the court, so Menes doesn't have to worry that this group of people will rebel.

There were also nobles who wanted to fight for it, and just as they were about to speak, Bute Hamon took the lead and said, "Honorable adults, like you, I have not been allocated land, nor have I received a reward from Lord Menes, but I still make money, a lot of money!"

As soon as the chubby Bute Hamon said about making money, he shook his stomach, "I think everyone knows that I have made a lot of money on this trip to Lily Harbor, but how much? Let me tell you, I have earned 20,000 silver Kits, 20,000!"

Hearing 20,000, the audience also let out a burst of exclamations, especially those farmers who have never seen the world, fingers and toes, counting everyone can't count.

"Some of you listened to my advice at the time and took shares, right? If you can make so much money, why bother with such petty profits?" said Butehamon after a pause.

"This is just the beginning, the first batch of glass products, just take more than thirty pieces and we make so much money, but do you know how many glass products are in the warehouse now? One hundred and fifty-two pieces, and still in production, how much is that?"

"Glass is nothing, Lord Menes is still working on new red bricks, cement, something that can make buildings as hard as stone, once successful, the entire kingdom will use our materials for construction, how much money do you think you can make?"

"All this is just the beginning, there are more projects to start in the future, blast furnace metallurgy, mining, shipbuilding, camel breeding, textiles, etc., that is not better than farming?"

"Isn't it good that you only need to pay a little money to lie at home and earn money, and then take the money and buy whatever you want?

Bute Hamon's words instantly extinguished the enthusiasm of the nobles in the audience to ask for land, and the little nobles who heard Bout Hamon's investment stood in the crowd and secretly rejoiced.

In this case, wouldn't it be more profitable if you invested a little more? Hey, why didn't you listen to But Hamon at that time, some people are already regretting it.

Seeing that the situation was about the same, Bute Hamon began to fool everyone into contributing money and taking a stake in Puta Industrial Company.

A group of aristocrats who were clamoring for land soon swarmed to smash the money in Menes' company, and in one day Menes raised another 10,000 bases, and some people wanted to invest more, but Bute Harmon did not allow it, and could not dilute his shares.
