Chapter 850 Gretel: Forget It, I’ll Give You Another Sweet Date
"That's basically it."
Gretel covered his mouth with his right hand and yawned widely. Facing 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 listen to the results later... Ah, I'm so sleepy..."
He walked out without any hesitation. After taking two steps, he yawned. After taking three steps, he started to stagger. Before he could walk out of the meeting hall, he stumbled and was about to slide down the oak stick——
The elf beauty following behind grabbed her, lifted her out, and disappeared.
The barbarian followers around him didn't even have time to get started.
Deathly silence. The presiding mage watched Gretel leave, slowly exhaled, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his backhand:
This move was a blow to the bottom of the pot, so... so cruel!
Want to feed acorn squash to pigs? The oak tree must first bear fruit. Want an oak tree to bear fruit? Then, go discuss it with the Cult of the God of Nature.
The speed of discussion must be faster, otherwise there are so many households in the entire county and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of oak trees. Guess when it will be your turn? There are only a few priests who can talk to oak trees. They talk about ten or twenty trees a day...
Probably, ten years from now, it will be about your family’s industry.
Of course there is a way. If you feel like cutting down old trees is too tiring, you can set fire to the mountain. Then plant a new batch of oak trees...
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 Luosikang Ham...
And want to continue producing stably? Come, discuss with the Nature God Cult and accept their conditions.
Whether it is giving up the land that was occupied in the past, releasing a little 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 with no livelihood to leave their hometowns, and this matter had to be settled.
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. Now that 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 can settlement be more convenient for you?"
Grand Priest Randall of the Temple of the Spring Goddess: "..."
Archbishop Chaudhry of the God of War Temple: "..."
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 Cult left before, and their property was divided among everyone!
Everyone ate it, and everyone bit a piece, and their mouths were full of oil, so everyone had a tacit understanding that no one had tried to invite them back - you are also a thick-browed man, so why did you betray them directly?
The mage turned a blind eye. The industry of the Mage Tower is certainly important, but what is more important is the assessment of the Parliament——
As for this year's major disaster, no one will starve to death in Luosikang County, and fewer people will starve to death. If the local food storage is not enough, try to transport the poor as much as possible, which is the top priority of the assessment. In order to achieve this goal, is it important to allocate some industry?
That's not important at all! Even if it was to get Master Nordmark to say a few more good things about him, or to say less bad things about him after returning, he would take advantage of this momentum and work hard to build a good relationship with the Nature Order!
After a good night's sleep, Grete crawled out with a pillow mark on half of her face to eat dinner and listen to the news. What made him happy was that while he was sleeping, the leading figures in Roscommon County really reached an agreement:
First, the Earl of Luo Si Kang family returned the inheritance land of the God of Nature Order and held a ceremony to make amends. The gains made in the inheritance land over the past few decades will be returned double;
Second, all forces in the county should return all properties owned by the God of Nature Religion. Whether it is mountains, pastures, swamps, or villages, all tenants in the villages will be refunded, and the relevant income plus interest will be refunded in installments;
Third, the temple, the mage tower, and various noble families check and store food and provide it to the poor for free. Open up mountains, forests and other territories, allowing tenants to hunt and gather to survive 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 Order of the God of Nature won a great victory and basically recovered its previous losses. Moreover, with the collateral in hand, I am not afraid that those guys will not transfer the property;
The Mage Tower was basically victorious and achieved the goal set by the council, or in other words, achieved a verbal promise. Next 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 looked ugly. Especially the second son of the earl, Gretel was really afraid that he would lose his mind and turn dark. What if there is some kind of ritual to summon the devil, it will explode, haha...
In a year of great disaster, we really cannot afford to add insult to injury.
Gretel sighed silently. Forget it, let's show them a clear path.
"Hey, speaking of which, your high-quality ham is quite delicious. Do you want to continue making it?"
He took a spoonful of fish soup, swallowed it slowly, and asked with a smile. A top product! Flagship product! The most profitable product!
Does the loss hurt? Do you really want to take 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?
Rothko ham does have a bit of a reputation, but only a bit. Aiolan Island is still a countryside compared to the royal capital and Nevis. Without any products with magical properties, it is difficult to open up sales...
But what to do now?
The inheritance place of the Order of the God of Nature has been returned and cannot be used anymore. Even if they don’t pay it back, they wouldn’t dare even if I gave 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, this fish soup is a bit fishy, is it really missing ginger? He pointed to Elder Atef with the chipped bread:
"You guys cooperate! The sect is responsible for maintaining the trees, you are responsible for making the ham, and everyone shares the profits from the sales - the sect can also issue a certification to show that it was infiltrated by the power of nature! A reasonable share, everyone will be well..."
“Wouldn’t it be good if the price can go up this way, the regional economic situation will be better, and more fields can be freed up for farming, so that the local poor can breathe a little more?”
Well, 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 x-on:Urban Whale Shark for the 500 starting coin reward
Good news, our Taoxianda store has recovered!
Once Taoxianda recovers, you no longer need to worry about lack of vegetables! The vegetable buns from Ding Dong Neighborhood Group are very poor and not friendly at all...
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.
