The situation in the Empire regarding the land is confusing.

The landed aristocracy wanted to nationalize land, annex all small landholders, and distort nationalization.

Small farmers are eager to tear up and eat the land belonging to the landed nobles, hoping to obtain more farmland for themselves.

The bourgeoisie aristocracy were hesitant. By helping the land aristocracy, they could obtain a large number of cheap workers who abandoned the land and came to the cities.

But by helping the farmers, they can make the land aristocracy pay a huge price, and may even directly destroy the so-called land aristocracy and win a huge victory in the party struggle.

As for how to do it specifically, it is clear that the Conservative Party does not have a good decision, and they are still hesitating.

As for Lu En, he was waiting too.

Because he is now a chess player, not a chess piece running around below.

The kind of people who wear a lot of glory, go around, show up, and leave a reputation, most of them are not the real people in power. At most, they can only be regarded as executors, or better, idle clouds and wild cranes.

It doesn't matter to this world anyway.

Going back to the original question, what on earth is Lu En waiting for?

He awaited the reaction of the Conservative Party.

Everyone miscalculated the true intention of the King of Monsters. The emperor thought he just wanted to seek personal gain. The Conservative Party felt that the King of Monsters was worthless. He was still in hell and could not touch the current situation of the empire. The land aristocrats were completely incompetent.

There was no place for him in the plan.

And what about in your own camp?

Everyone felt that his purpose was to overthrow the existing empire, so they all felt anxious in the face of the Agrarian Party's clever counterattack and means of resolving the agrarian crisis.

But actually Lu En doesn't care, he really doesn't care.

He is currently focused on only one thing, and that is whether the Conservative Party will choose to support the Land Party or add insult to injury.

If you choose to add insult to injury, everything will go as a matter of course. Large-scale chaos will begin to break out in the countryside of the empire. This is unstoppable. The real planning and layout has always been a rolling trend. Only in this way can things be accomplished. Only small-probability matters will be solved with conspiracy.

Take the plunge.

All the chess players are sitting high on it. Everyone knows the next development of things, but everyone can only watch the next development of things. Even in this general situation, everyone can only make one move.

Chance.

What Lu En ended up with was "intensifying conflicts", the Agrarian Party played a trick of "retreating from the second and advancing to the third", and now, it only depends on Duke Walder.

——————

Duke Walder frowned, playing with a gold coin in his hand, constantly tossing it, checking the front and back, and then repeating the process.

There is a saying in this game, that is, when you can't make up your mind, when it's hard to make a decision, just use this method. When you want to regret it after throwing it away, you can confirm what you really mean.

.

But he tried it, and it didn't work.

No matter how many times you flip a coin, you can never come to a conclusion.

What is the right choice for the future?

If you make the wrong choice, there is no chance to regret it, and everyone is only eligible to make one move.

"Hiss..." He took a deep breath, holding the gold coin, having a hard time choosing.

"You seem to be very confused." At this time, a pleasant voice came from Duke Walder's ear.

"Of course I'm very confused. This is a decision that will affect hundreds of years in the future. Silver leaf, do you have any thoughts?" Wald dropped the gold coin and looked at his wife on the bed not far away.

Wife of Duke Walder, Silverleaf.

As a true pure-blood elf with extremely noble blood, she is also level 9. Her lifespan is much longer, so compared to Duke Walder's middle-aged appearance, she looks like a teenager.

Just like a girl.

Judging from his face alone, he is younger than Sid, and his limbs are slender and slender, but he also has a charming look that makes people think.

"What do I have in mind?" Lord Silverleaf raised his shiny white legs and put them on Duke Walder's shoulders, then put his fingers on his chin and began to think.

"Hmm... Let me tell you, let's see what our daughter wants. There's nothing good about this empire, so why bother thinking about it so much? Isn't Sid working on some big army recently? Just do it for her.

If she vetoes that normative law, chaos will surely break out. Then won’t she be able to show off her power? She’ll have a good time, won’t she?” Yin Ye giggled, with a charming and charming smile.

What he said was not very pleasant to listen to.

But Duke Walder knew that this was what she was like.

Actually, anyone who lives a long life will be like this.

"Oh...you, you." He rubbed his head, stood up, and smiled helplessly.

Because of his standing up, Yinye, who originally had her feet on his shoulders, fell back and lifted her nightgown up to her waist.

Kuckenle tied up his luggage and was about to leave the village.

We have stayed in this village for long enough, and we have almost finished counting the things that need to be counted. It is time to leave.

Check the records.

"Under the condition of satisfactory efficiency...the average farmer in this village with less than 5 acres of land cultivates 100 acres of land, which requires 18 laborers, 28 draft animals, 5 plows, and 1 light carriage."

"Farmers who own more than 50 acres of land cultivate an average of 100 acres of land, which only requires 7 laborers, 12 draft animals, 3 plows, and even no horse-drawn carriages."

Well, the first set of data is correct.

That's fine.

After Kuckenle completed his inspection, he quietly left the land as a traveler.

His identity is an investigator of the empire, a lowest-level investigator, responsible for statistics on various situations in the recent countryside.

As the lowest-level tentacle of the empire's huge bureaucracy, he was given a lot of responsibilities, but the pay was not very large. Moreover, the farmers were always hostile to him, which brought a lot of trouble to his statistical work.

Moreover, the more statistics he looked at, the worse he felt.

Various statistical data have been changing drastically recently. He can feel that as commodity production penetrates deeper into agriculture, the competition among farmers, the struggle for land, and the struggle for economic independence are becoming more intense. Moreover, it seems that because of professional

With the popularity of farmers, the gap in production efficiency between rich peasants and poor peasants has become wider and wider.

But this had nothing to do with him being a statistician. He just continued to check other data.

"Excluding the land owned by the barons, each household has an average planting area of ​​16.4 acres..."

"The average monetary income from agriculture is 191 silver coins per year, which is slightly lower than the annual expenditure of a medium worker (200-250 silver coins)."

"On average, each household (6 to 7 people) has 3.2 livestock. In Melito County, there are 13,798 such households, of which only 5,288 households cultivate the land by themselves, while 8,510 households cultivate the land with animal power."

"The main problem is that farmers with fewer horses have different business systems and different structures of all business activities compared with farmers with many horses."

"Farmers with relatively large amounts of land will let the land fallow. They plow the land in the autumn...Plow it again in the spring, and sow seeds while plowing. The plowed wasteland will be flattened with rollers to preserve moisture...the seeds are black.

During the wheat season, we plow twice and maintain the land very carefully."

“Other poor farmers do not let their land fallow, sow wheat on this land every year, and only plow it once in the spring... When planting rye, they do not leave it fallow or plow it, but sow it in the remaining stubble...

…Wheat fields are not plowed until late spring, so the grains often do not germinate…Because they are only plowed once, or sown in the remaining stubble, and not in time, the same land is often plowed in vain every year without allowing the soil’s fertility to be restored.

."

“And so on and so forth, there are some solid facts that the management systems of rich farmers and poor farmers are fundamentally different. The result is that some people have poor quality grains and bad harvests, while others have better harvests, and professional people have better harvests.

The emergence of the epidemic has only exacerbated this differentiation."

"I suggest that the chief can popularize various knowledge in the next season, just like what the farmers' mutual aid association often does now. Although this sudden organization is very strange, it has indeed alleviated the current situation of farmers. We can completely replace this non-governmental organization and transform it into

And when the official comes..."

After writing this, he took out his pen and crossed out the suggestion.

Who is he? Dare to give advice to the boss above him? Don’t lose his job by then, he has to support his family.

This job was entrusted to my distant uncle, and it took a lot of effort and many connections to arrange it. My wife was also willing to marry him because she fell in love with him working as an errand in the city. If not, everything would be over.

All gone.

However, that idiot boss must not have thought of this. He would not have thought that the current situation would not be improved. Alas, really, if you do it yourself, you will definitely be able to solve all of these problems once and for all, and there will not be so many more.

There are lawsuits to fight and conflicts to mediate!

I don’t want to think about it so much anymore, so let’s continue writing statistical tables... It’s useless to say so much. If you can’t hand it in, you will be deducted, and you will have to compile a copy.

But he doesn't make it up. I heard that the superiors will check it. If he makes a mistake, it's a tolerable mistake. But if it's a big mistake in fabrication, it won't be as simple as losing his job. He will go to jail, and maybe even more.

behead!

"There are a total of 692 commercial industries, including 132 water-powered mills, 16 oil mills, 97 resin mills and tar mills, 283 blacksmith workshops and other workshops, and 164 shops and restaurants."

There are 101 skilled workers.”

"Let me take a look at...the commercial industries. 681 of them belong to Baron Heliu, and 11 of them belong to wealthy farmers. Among the wealthy farmers, a total of 10 are small restaurants and 1 is a blacksmith workshop."

The following is... from a local nobleman.
