THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 92: RESULTS FROM THE FIELDS
Myro rushed towards the city gate as quickly as possible under the escort of Ren and Lopen as well as some Praetorian Guard, now that the city wall that was previously only a wooden fence had started to turn into stone. Although this stone wall only covered half of the city because it had not yet been completed, it had greatly increased the defense of this city.
Along the way, Myro barely saw any residents around. It seemed that they had all gone to the fields, however, this was their earliest great harvest day, so all the inhabitants went to the fields directly to see the success.
When he reached the city gate, the soldiers there bowed respectfully to Myro.
Myro only slightly nodded then went through the city gate.
While passing through the city gate, Myro immediately saw a land filled with golden colors.
The land around Loth City that previously looked very empty had already turned a little golden, this golden color was none other than rice that was ready to harvest, it was a little golden, in the morning sunlight, these grains show a golden color that is very attractive.
Myro slightly sighed, although he could not be said to have succeeded fully as a Baron, at least with the results of the fields this time then the food crisis could be overcome. It was impossible to provide the inhabitants with food continuously, Myro's finances were so limited that with this harvest, Myro no longer needed to provide food costs to the residents. Even from the harvest tax this time, Myro could cover back the losses he had experienced earlier.
Myro began to walk around the fields to find that there were many children or women watching around, they saw people who were taking the crops.
When they learned of Myro's arrival, the residents immediately bowed respectfully and shouted "Thank you, Mr. Baron! The success of the harvest this time will not happen without your help!".
Myro nodded kindly to everyone's welcome, he approached a field and shouted towards the man who was busy harvesting there "How is the harvest? Is the result good?".
The man who was busy harvesting was surprised, he stopped his work quickly before saying with a big smile "It turns out Mr. Baron also came to see firsthand, the harvest is very good! Although we have not worked in the fields for long enough since the Orc-Goblin Kingdom attack a few years ago, but we still have some abilities. Not to mention the ground support and equipment from Mr. Baron, we are very grateful! If it wasn't the support of Mr. Baron, this harvest wouldn't have worked".
Myro smiled slightly, finally he threw away his last worry about the possibility of crop failure "Fortunately if the harvest is good, with this then the food crisis of Loth City and the surrounding region could end! I may give you some help in the form of soil and equipment, but the success of this harvest will not happen without your help. For the next harvest, I was expecting you guys to help me again".
The workers in the field were touched to hear Myro's words, however Myro who was a Baron was not at all arrogant, even he appreciated their hard work which was very different from other nobles.
The workers around said excitedly "Lord Baron need not worry, we will definitely continue to work hard and make Loth City an important food supply city in Azeroth Kingdom".
After speaking for a short while, Myro went back to the other fields until he found Feld.
Feld is now gathering with other government employees, this government employee is a newly appointed person by Feld to help him work as mayor.
However, nobles can choose a mayor in their territory, as well as a mayor who can recruit their own workers.
As for higher-level governments such as governors, ministers and others, then only the king along with the higher-ups of the Azeroth Kingdom could vote for him.
Feld realizes Myro's arrival so he welcomes him as soon as possible "Master, you've finally come! Our harvest has been successful, fortunately we have not experienced failure! With this, the problem of food crisis until a few months later can be resolved. As long as a big harvest like this keeps happening every 4 months, a food crisis may not happen again in this city".
Myro could not help but smile as well as "You were right, finally the plan of overcoming the food crisis had already succeeded. Fortunately there was no bad weather during these 4 months, otherwise we would have to suffer a crop failure. But this is still not finished, the problem only starts after the harvest. The harvest this time was too much, the residents could not eat it all until the next harvest. Moreover, we will also get a lot of crops from the tax of the residents, if it is not eaten for too long, this harvest can not be eaten anymore".
"Therefore, we must sell some of these crops. Not to mention the residents can not just eat rice every day, they need money to buy other food".
"Lord is right" said Feld with a gloomy face "However, there are still very few merchants who dare to come to our territory, although Falka has cleared most of the bandits but the merchants still have doubts, even though Falka has cleared most of the bandits, moreover, they did not consider there a profitable business to come to this Loth City. I guess I should try to find a wholesaler in another city to ask if they are interested in buying large quantities of rice, I'm sure there are interested merchants in the Provincial Capital of the Cavalry even though we have to sell it a little cheaper in the beginning until our city's name as a rice producer becomes famous".
"You're right, I leave it to you for this rice sales matter" Myro said.
"Master doesn't have to worry, even though I'm not very good at trading but I won't allow myself to be tricked by those merchants so easily" Feld said.
Myro did not say anything more and continued to observe the surrounding fields, he had already done the summoning for these 4 months but he did not summon any more gold-level figures. Though Myro is now very lacking in talented manpower, it seems that he still has to wait until there are other talented people who are summoned from the World or there are people who are interested in giving their loyalty to Myro.
Suddenly, Myro recalled that he had not made a summon from the World for today.
