At first hearing this news, Xia Duo couldn't help feeling a little complicated.

On the one hand, he is looking forward to the cooperatives taking root in Netheril, but on the other hand, he is also very clear that the current Netheril is not suitable for the implementation of the cooperative system.

Especially in places outside the Daxia collar.

This made him a little afraid to ask Niya for further information about the cooperative, but Niya did not know his complicated psychology, and had already begun to tell:

"Aiwa has investigated that there are at least four territories near Sevington that have established cooperatives. In those four territories, the lords and generals have been reorganized, and about one hundred households form a unit, called [One Club]. Now The joint autumn harvest should have already begun!"

"What about the reaction of the territorial people?" Xia Duo asked again.

"There is no further news at this time, but the content of the agricultural book on increasing crop yields has been unanimously praised by the lords near Sevington, and has already begun to be implemented."

Niya's answer did not exceed Xia Duo's expectations. Although those inland lords got the agricultural book, they would not necessarily publish the agricultural book to the lords. In fact, not publishing it is the normal choice for most people.

This choice is also a good thing for Xia Duo. People are the most fickle. Now agricultural books may indeed improve crop yields, and cooperatives are not necessarily all bad things.

But when the bad consequences of the cooperative come out, the resentment of those landless peasants may be directed at him.

Then, Shado asked for some details, but Niya didn't know how to answer. After all, everything she knew was from Aiwa's investigation, and Aiwa's investigation was still very limited.

"This matter needs continuous attention. By the way, did Aiwa mention any news about the abnormal climate?"

"No, but I heard that the Seven Pagodas are brewing a big plan, which may completely solve the hidden dangers of climate anomalies."

Inadvertently, Niya revealed another piece of news, which surprised Xia Dao, and how did Niya know what he didn't even know.

"Where did you know this news? Is it credible?"

"Ms. Greta and I have always kept in touch. Although she is far away from the core of Gilles Tower, there are still some hidden relationships that have not been completely cut off. I know you care about this, so I will help you ask. It should be more believable."

That's it!

Xia Duo immediately thought of the master Yerevan he had seen before. Could it be that the Seven Pagodas are going to support him in the field of agriculture?

Indeed, if there is a **** of order in the agricultural field, it is the worst, and it can also be used to send priests to each piece of land to ensure the normal growth of crops.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a complete solution to the hidden dangers of abnormal climate.

However, Xia Duo believes that this matter is not so simple. If there is only one more agricultural god, it can only be regarded as passive defense. If the root cause behind the abnormal climate cannot be found, even if the production can be guaranteed temporarily, will it be possible in the future? Do they all rely on the priests of the **** of agriculture?

Furthermore, this time it is just an abnormal climate. As long as ordinary people deal with it properly, they will still have a chance to survive the difficulty. But what if there are special spells or diseases that directly target various crops next time?

Agriculture priests may be able to fertilize soil and increase production, but there is a high probability that they will not be proficient in spell confrontation!

Not to mention, if it is directly destroyed, can it be restored? Even if it can, what is the cost?

Only by identifying the root cause behind the abnormal climate can all possible crises be solved once and for all, including but not limited to the agricultural sector.

Even Xia Duo could see that the abnormal weather from last year to this year was not a natural formation, and it was very likely that an elves were behind it.

If the seven towers only know passive defense, it will only encourage the arrogance of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the next time may really bring a more severe disaster.

Xia Duo is very interested in the big plan that Niya said the Seven Pagodas are brewing, but it is only interested, and he does not want to participate in it for the time being.

The family in the southern border really can't stand the turmoil.

…

In the days that followed, under Shado's instructions, Aiwa sent back more news about the cooperative in the territories near Severnton.

For the time being, it's all positive news, such as how many times the efficiency of the autumn harvest has been improved compared to previous years, the cooperatives can better share the cost of collective breeding, and so on.

But some bad signs also began to appear. Just as Xardo had expected, some lords were already trying to recover the land from the people.

The cooperative is more like a big farm. Some lords think that what the farm needs is not a farmer, but a serf. Of course, there is a very realistic reason why those lords do this, and that is—

The development of the Cologne Plain requires a large number of manpower, but these manpower cannot be created out of thin air. After taking away most of the floating population, the only choice is to fight the free people.

The so-called "free people" are generally farmers with fields or craftsmen with craftsmanship. Among them, farmers are the best to plunder. Especially after the emergence of cooperatives this time, there is no need for so many farmers to complete the cultivation of existing land.

This has given many lords a great temptation. The need to maintain the local population is less, so the population that can be used for development will also increase.

In fact, it's just that cooperatives liberate productive forces from production methods. If more efficient production tools appear, fewer people are required for the same tasks.

It's a pity that this part of the lord who planned to "recover" the land in advance was too short-sighted. uukanshu.com clearly pointed out the significance of improving production tools in the agricultural book, but those people are not willing to wait for this time.

The things that are put into their mouths are not delicious. Xia Duo can almost imagine that those people will not seriously check and practice the "Development Guide".

This is not good news.

If the development efficiency is low, the population demand will be greater, then how can the surplus be used for light industry?

How can wealth be transferred without light industry?

If wealth does not transfer downward, how can the market be cultivated?

It's a pity that it is difficult for Xia Duo to interfere with these things now. The only thing he can do is to print more "Development Guide" and "Agriculture Book" and send them out!

However, in a sense, the short-sightedness of those inland lords is also a good thing for Xado, which will make it easier for him to recruit new lords.

If all the inland lords strive to increase productivity, improve production relations, and develop light industry from agriculture up, how can he recruit new lords?

Industry, even if it is only light industry, requires a large population base. If Xado is the lord of the mainland, he will definitely not let any of the territorial people lose.

If there is no new territory that can be developed like the Colon Plain, the upper limit of the development of a single lord in the interior is extremely limited, surrounded by neighbors, there is no room for expansion.

If you want to grow and develop, you can only upgrade the industry (including the magic industry), and the population is the key to industrial upgrading.

That is to say, the current Netheril does not have a relatively complete "citizenship" system, which makes the flow of population between the territories very easy. Basically, as long as they are free people, they can move freely.
