Chapter 546

"... I'll find a way."

Resno thought that Archbishop Gawain's request was strange.

It's unhealthy and can't be done. What are you doing here?

Waste food in vain?

But if you don't make money, you're a bastard.

Since the Archbishop urged, the unsalable and unwanted inferior slaves of the Empire could be sold at last!

The Empire should be willing, even desirable.

These old, weak, sick and disabled who can hardly create benefits and can only consume food will be expelled, and no lord is willing to accept them.

If you can send those old, weak, sick and disabled away and get a lot of money, isn't that a great good thing?

In addition, those homeless vagrants and migrants can also be sent to catch them. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are not spared, and one is counted as one.

The archbishop is really his lucky star!

This trip earned more than the previous three years.

If we can cooperate stably for a long time in the future, perhaps our assets and forces can be doubled several times.

Archbishop, you must hold on. Don't die!

After seeing lesno off, Marcus finally couldn't help but frown and asked, "archbishop, do you really want those old, weak, sick and disabled? There is a rule of eliminating the strong and supporting the weak in the knight's code, but we also have to consider our own territory! Atonement Island doesn't have much food and can't afford too many people. These people can't generate income."

"Old people often have knowledge that young people don't have, and the weak are also relative. They may be weak in many aspects, but they are superior in other aspects. Patients can be treated, and priests, paladins and druids will undertake this task. Disability can't be helped, but in that sentence, everyone has everyone's value."

Gawain looked at the slaves surrounded by the emerald statue and said, "the storm island does not want to be a safe haven. Everyone living here has the value of existence."

Storm island needs people.

The more, the better.

People oriented.

The more people, the better civilization can be created and the better territory can be built.

Who doesn't want a healthy and capable leader?

It's best for craftsmen with certain skills!

But these people, who is willing to leave their hometown just for a promising future?

I can't help it.

But it doesn't matter.

Everyone can be cultivated.

You know etiquette when you are in a warehouse, and you know honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing.

Feed them first, so that they do not suffer from cold and hunger, and then they can carry out higher-level education and training.

Most importantly, now is the time when these people are most down.

As long as you give them a full meal in the name of Azeroth church and give them a job that can support themselves and their family, they will be grateful and become believers of Azeroth church, and how pious their faith should be.

The ratio of devout believers to crazy believers will also be frighteningly high.

As for how to feed them?

Gawain had a plan.

"Archbishop, what are you going to do with these slaves?"

Although Marcus didn't understand what Gawain did, as a subordinate, the LORD made a decision and of course must obey it.

"To the Central Plains."

Gao Wen looked to the East: "there are still many places in the central plain that have not been reclaimed, such as those near the northern desert, the Jackal plain and the Shenduan mountains. I have calculated that if the whole central plain is reclaimed, we can feed one million people in the next harvest season."

"Well... Not enough farm tools, not enough food and seeds, not enough labor."

Marcus is now the housekeeper of storm city and is responsible for all specific affairs, while the central plain is now under the management of storm city. Even the North County in the South and Shanjin town under construction belong to storm City, so he has too many things to manage.

It's a headache.

A cavalry commander who once galloped the battlefield, now he actually faces the sea and cares about food and vegetables. Who can reason with?

"It's reported from bogus that the weapons and armor of the city of refined gold will be delivered soon, and there are many farm tools. The products produced by dwarves must be high-quality products and will not be broken in ten or twenty years."

Gawain said: "some time ago, I discussed with master craftsman owosbuck. He is studying tractors, cultivators, planters and harvesters. With these machines, the labor force required can be reduced to at least one fifth of the original."

Marcus was stunned.

Tractor, cultivator, planter?

What the hell is that?

Never heard of it, not the whole empire!

Is it a new invention of the dwarf country?

No, the dwarf doesn't seem to have these either.

Is it from the kingdom of Azeroth?

If we can really reduce the labor cost to one fifth of the original, everything will not be a problem.

He even thought further.

These machines are likely to bring an agricultural revolution!

The farming methods in various places are still very backward. When the harvest is bad, even the seeds can't be collected.

The goddess of agriculture has been canonized for only a thousand years. Why is it so influential and the agricultural church developing so rapidly?

Because where there are believers of agricultural goddess, the harvest is much better than other places!

Who has the most people in the world?

Most farmers!

Those farmers with good harvests are grateful to the goddess of agriculture and have firm faith. They should not provide too many beliefs.

Now, Archbishop Gawain's machinery has to cut labor costs.

This means that everyone can grow many times more crops and reclaimed farmland than before.

It is equal to increasing the farmers' harvest, and it has increased a lot, which is more powerful than the agricultural church.

Isn't this fighting for a job with the goddess of agriculture?

Archbishop, archbishop, are you going to offend another God?

And is it a goddess who is rising rapidly, seemingly weak and actually incomparably strong?

no

"In addition, send some people to Shanjin town. Provide them with jobs, construction tasks, reclamation tasks or mining tasks. Let them do whatever they can and do nothing. Simply train them and exchange labor for food and wealth."

Gao Wen said: "as long as you work hard for three months, you can become a serf, complete a lot, and have no criminal record within a year, you can become a free people. If you have made great contributions, you still have the opportunity to become a knight. Marcus, you should formulate perfect laws and regulations. In this regard, you can refer to the Thousand Island principality and the holy Giant Eagle empire."

"... yes."

Marcus felt his head ache more.

Why am I responsible for everything?

I am responsible for public security, military affairs, agriculture, and now the law!

Archbishop, my subordinates can't do it!

Lancelot is in charge of a fleet. Lina doesn't even have the blood moon mage tower now. She studies magic with master antonidas. It's hard work for me alone, isn't it?

Honest people deserve to be bullied, don't they?

"Others will help you, and I will help you find the right person as soon as possible. And it should not be long before someone will replace you. I just hope you don't have any complaints."

Gao Wen changed into a half dragon man: "I have something else to do. You should be busy first."

"Where are you going?" Asked Marcus subconsciously.

"Here comes the agricultural church. It's my eldest sister."

Gao Wen said faintly, "it's been 10 years since she disappeared. Her heart doesn't belong to the Principality of Qiandao. It's a big picture this time!"
