Chapter 844 Gretel: Forget it, I’ll give you another sweet date
"That's basically it."
Gretel covered his mouth with his right hand and let out a big yawn. Looking at the eyes of awe, fear, and sigh in the entire meeting hall, he turned around leisurely:
"You guys talk, I'm going to bed...I'll hear the results later...ah, I'm so sleepy..."
He walked out without hesitation. He took two steps, yawned, took three steps, and started to stagger. Before he could walk out of the meeting hall, he stumbled and was about to slide down the oak stick.
He was picked up by the elf beauty following behind, lifted directly out, and disappeared.
And the barbarian followers around him didn't even have time to take action.
There was deathly silence. The presiding mage watched Gretel leave, exhaled slowly, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his backhand:
This move was so... so cruel!
Want to feed acorns to pigs? You must first let the oak tree bear fruit. Want the oak tree to bear fruit? Then, discuss it with the Order of the God of Nature.
The speed of discussion must be faster, otherwise there are so many households in the whole county and tens of thousands of oak trees. Guess when it will be your turn? There are only a few pastors who can talk to oak trees. They talk about ten or twenty trees a day.
…
Probably, ten years from now, we will be talking about your family’s property.
Of course, there is another way. If you feel it is too tiring to cut down the old trees, you can also set fire to the mountain. Then plant a new batch of oak trees yourself...
Then the question arises, not to mention whether cutting down oak trees in large numbers will directly confront the worshipers of the God of Nature.
Guess, how many years will it take for newly planted seedlings to grow, and how many more years will it take for the number of fruits to catch up with the old trees?
Five years?
Eight years?
ten years?
After ten or eight years, I am afraid no one will remember the name of Luo Sikang Ham...
And want to continue producing stably? Come, discuss with the God of Nature Religion and accept their conditions.
Whether it is giving up the land that was occupied in the past, releasing more land for the poor to grow food, or allowing the poor to go to the woods to collect wild fruits and acorns...
In addition, the presiding mage knew that the parliament wanted these nobles to release more relief grains and allow a group of tenant farmers to leave their hometowns, and this was also the case.
Even because of this, he must stand firmly on the side of the nature priests and the Nordmark mage:
"Well, after the servants of the God of Nature left, there were indeed some properties that were managed by the Mage Tower. Since you are back, I will arrange for the people below to check and hand over the properties and related income."
He nodded to Elder Atef with a cheerful face:
"Do you need money or grain? Wheat? Rye? Do you need livestock? How to make settlement more convenient for you?"
Grand Priest Randall of the Spring Goddess Temple: "..."
Archbishop Chaudhry of the Temple of the God of War: "..."
The second son of the earl: "..."
A group of noble children who were left behind to take care of their family business, and a group of minor nobles who were not qualified to go to the royal capital and had to stay here: "..."
The Nature Religion Group left before, and their property was divided among everyone!
Everyone had it in their mouths, and everyone bit a piece, and their mouths were full of oil, so everyone had a tacit understanding, and no one had tried to invite them back to see you, who is also a thick-browed man, so why did you betray him directly?
The mage turned a blind eye. The industry of the mage tower is important, but what is more important is the assessment of the parliament.
As for this year's major disaster, fewer people will starve to death in Luosikang County. If the local food reserves are not enough, the top priority of the assessment is to transfer as many poor people as possible. To achieve this goal, allocate some industry, is that important?
That's not important at all! Even if he wants Master Nordmark to say a few more good things about him, or to say less bad things about him after returning, he will take advantage of this momentum and work hard to build a good relationship with the Nature Order!
After a full sleep, Grete crawled out to eat dinner with half of his face covered in pillow towels, and listened to the news. What made him happy was that during the time he was sleeping, the leading figures in Roscommon County really
An agreement was reached:
First, the Earl of Luo Si Kang family returned the heritage land of the God of Nature Order and held a ceremony to make amends. In the past few decades, the income gained from the heritage land was doubled;
Second, all parties in the county should return all the properties occupied by the God of Nature Religion. Whether it is mountains, pastures, swamps, or villages, or the tenants in the villages, they will all be returned, and the relevant income plus interest will be returned in installments;
Third, temples, mage towers, and various noble families check and store food and provide it to the poor for free. They open mountains, forests and other territories to allow tenants to hunt, collect, and spend the famine years;
Fourth, in view of the fact that the grain reserves are still not enough to allow all the poor people in the territory to survive the famine years, all parties in Roscong County unanimously agreed to unconditionally allow the poor to leave the local area;
fifth……
All in all, the Cult of the God of Nature won a great victory and basically recovered its previous losses. Moreover, with the collateral in hand, they were not afraid of those guys not transferring their property;
The Mage Tower basically succeeded and completed the goal set by the parliament, or in other words, obtained a verbal promise. The next step is the issue of implementation, and in terms of helping the poor, the Order of the God of Nature is the most reliable partner of the Mage Tower;
The representatives of other forces all had ugly expressions. Especially the second son of the earl. Gretel was really afraid that he would turn black for a moment. What if he made some kind of ritual to summon the devil and it would cause a big explosion, haha...
In a year of great disaster, we really cannot afford to add insult to injury.
Grete sighed silently. Forget it, let's show them a clear way.
"Hey, speaking of which, your high-quality ham is quite delicious. Do you want to continue making it?"
He scooped up a spoonful of fish soup, swallowed it slowly, turned his head and asked with a smile. A flagship product! A flagship product! The most profitable product!
Is it painful to lose something? Do you want to get it back?
The count's second son's eyes lit up. Along with both sides of the long table, all stakeholders raised their heads:
Do?
Who doesn’t want to do it?
Although Rothko ham does have a bit of reputation, it is only a little bit. Aiolan Island is still a countryside for the royal capital and Nevis, and there is no product with magical properties, so it is difficult to open up sales...
But what to do now?
The inheritance place of the God of Nature Religion has been returned and cannot be used anymore. Even if it is not returned, they would not dare to give them 10,000 courages now!
"Hey, why don't you cooperate?" Grete tore up a piece of bread, dipped it in the fish soup, and took another bite. Well, the fish soup was a bit fishy, and it was indeed missing ginger... He pointed at Ate with the chipped bread.
Elder husband’s side:
"You guys are cooperating! The cult is responsible for maintaining the trees, and you are responsible for making the ham. The profits from the sales are shared by everyone. The cult can also issue a certification to show that it was infiltrated by the power of nature! A reasonable share will be good for everyone..."
"Wouldn't it be nice if the price can go up this way, the regional economic situation can be better, and more fields can be freed up for farming, so that the local poor can breathe a little more?"
OK, of course!
But in this way, the entire ham industry chain, upstream and downstream, from raw material production to terminal certification, is all in the hands of the God of Nature. What they say in the future will be what the local nobles will listen to!
We want to make a fortune together, but the money is in the hands of others?
Or should we maintain industrial independence, but make getting rich less enjoyable?
It’s so hard to choose!
Mage Nordmark, you...you are so cruel!

Thanks to @urbanwhaleshark for the 500 starting coin reward
Good news, our Taoxianda store has recovered!
Once Taoxianda recovers, we no longer have to worry about lack of vegetables! The vegetable bags from Dingdong Neighborhood Group are very poor and not at all friendly to the people...
Follow-up: After driving for an hour, there is no capacity again... I hope that its capacity will stabilize and recover in three days. After three days, our family will have to buy groceries again.
