The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 353 The One Who Dominates Everything

All grain merchants were silent after hearing this. If the situation continues to develop like this, the grain business is really not optimistic.

Changing careers may be the general trend.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the villa. Soon, a male servant trotted in and whispered to Hiltu: "Master, the governor is here."

"What?!" Hiltu and the grain merchants were all shocked and stood up in a hurry, intending to go to greet him.

Who is the leader of the White Eagle Territory?

Sol, Pompey? No, that is just a knight with outstanding military power, Pompey Knight.

Lelouch, Bonaparte? Not either, that is a consul with outstanding ability, but more like an executor, Mr. Mayor.

There are many big figures in the White Eagle Territory, but none of them can compare to one person.

Luther, Pompey.

This is the person who dominates everything.

Luther, Pompey represents the will of the White Eagle Emblem, dominates the construction of the entire White Eagle Territory, and even protects their lives.

They were able to avoid being slaughtered by the New Party just because they hid under the resounding name of the White Eagle Emblem.

The merchants were sincerely grateful to the White Eagle Emblem and were deeply in awe of it.

"Gentlemen, I heard that you are having a meeting. Do you mind if I come to sit in on it?" When the merchants were about to go out to greet them, Luther had already walked in with Lelouch.

The butler would not be so stupid as to ask the White Eagle Governor to wait outside the door.

Please come in first, and I will inform you.

The grain merchants were slightly surprised when they heard this. They knew that the sitting in must be fake. The White Eagle Governor, who led everything, must have some purpose.

Hiltu smiled and bowed, saying, "Governor, you are joking. If you are interested in the current grain problem in the White Eagle Territory, please be sure to lead this meeting."

"Yes, you have the final say."

Other grain merchants also said.

At this critical moment, they are having a headache and are eager for Luther Pompey to intervene in this matter. Because this Governor has a good reputation.

I have never heard of anyone who does business with this Governor losing money.

"Haha, since you all say so, I won't be polite." Luther laughed and sat in Hiltu's seat. Lelouch sat next to Luther, and other grain merchants sat down separately.

"Would you like some coffee?" Hiltu asked humbly.

"Give me a glass of water." Luther said, then turned to Lelouch and asked, "What about you, Lelouch?"

"I want a cup of coffee with more sugar." Lelouch said.

"Okay." Mr. Hiltu nodded and told the maid to do the work. After a while, Luther's boiled water came up first. Luther drank a sip of boiled water, then smiled and said to the merchants, "For the current issue of grain prices, I have only one meaning, no one should buy grain."

Lelouch shrugged, thanked the maid who brought the coffee, and then drank the coffee happily, which made the maid excited to death.

Mr. Mayor is really gentle.

The grain merchants were shocked.

What does this ruler intend to do?

We plan to buy grain at 50% of last year's price, and then find a way to digest this batch of grain. This is a helpless move.

Some of us are planning to change our careers.

But this ruler is even more vicious.

Let us not buy grain. Is this going to make all the farmers bankrupt? No, farmers will never go bankrupt.

Because they have fields, even if no one buys the grain, they can still eat their fill and feed their children. There is only one kind of person who will go bankrupt.

Large farmers.

"Mr. Ruler, is he going to eliminate all the large farmers in the White Eagle Territory?" It has to be admitted that the grain merchants are all smart and guessed Luther's purpose in an instant.

Luther looked at the expressions of these people and knew that they had guessed it.

Luther laughed and said, "You guessed it right. I am very dissatisfied with the current big farmers and the serf system. Just like I treat civilians and nobles equally, I am full of sympathy for the serfs. As human beings, why do they have to live like livestock and be exploited by big farmers? I want to change their fate. With this grain harvest, I will make the big farmers panic and sell their land and serfs. I will take the opportunity to abolish the serf system, concentrate the serfs, and let the officials of the city hall help the serfs to become self-reliant and become workers."

"Not only the serfs, I have always believed that the land business is the lowest level of business. The real business that can make money is manufacturing. There may be the Internet in the future, but you definitely don't understand this. So I will take advantage of this big harvest to turn many agricultural populations into industrial populations, vigorously develop factories, and develop non-land businesses."

"And the agricultural plan I made is not just that."

Luther paused here, giving the grain merchants time to digest the information.

The grain merchants were all surprised.

They had guessed that Luther's goal was to bankrupt the big farmers, but they didn't expect that Luther's plan was so profound.

Force the big farmers to sell their land and serfs.

And take the opportunity to abolish serfs.

Reduce the agricultural population and increase the industrial population.

Take the opportunity to develop the industry in the White Eagle Territory. This is indeed a great blueprint.

"Just as the master said, the land business is destined to be unprofitable in the future. It seems that most of us will have to change our careers. If we don't change our careers, we will be eliminated by the world."

The grain merchants sighed in their hearts.

At this time, Luther added fuel to the fire.

"My next plan is to further increase the output of farmland, destroy the small peasant economy, and destroy the small peasant mentality. The first step is to change the genes of wheat. Just like the nobles, most of the children born to beautiful people are beautiful. I plan to select the best wheat varieties, hybridize them, and select higher-yielding wheat seeds, so that the wheat yield per mu can reach 500 kilograms, or even more."

"The second step is an upgraded version of the manure fertilization plan. I plan to let the wizards create an inorganic nutrient to provide nutrition to crops. I call it fertilizer."

"I have asked the city hall to set up a special agency to study these two things. The year after next, maybe next year, it will be studied out. You know, wizards are a kind of magical people."

"Under these two methods, the wheat yield per mu may reach 700 to 800 kilograms. You should also be able to realize what that means."
