Stability, everyone works hard to farm the land, step by step.
Although simple data calculation can calculate how many agricultural population the empire needs, it can maintain the food demand of the entire population.
But this kind of change is too fast after all. This year's famine almost happened. In the past, too many countries used military force and dispatched too many people to fight, resulting in the tragedy of starvation in the rear.
It is said that the wise gods and martial arts are like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and in the later period, they will issue their own edicts and reflect on such problems.
What's more, the level of civilization of the regime is far less than that of the Great Han's Eternal Night World
Officials dare not take too big steps.
Under this kind of thinking, "sufficient" food is definitely good, and it doesn't matter if "excess" food is produced.
Whether you save it or sell it to neighboring countries, it's a sure-fire business.
The only thing is to transfer the agricultural population to engage in industry. If there is no famine in the whole country, and people starve to death on their own side, it will become a big joke.
Don't say that the official position is not guaranteed, and being an official is also sorry for the people under him, isn't it
The new generation of officials in the empire thought so, and the people at the bottom who wanted to see the changes in the empire were even more worried about food and clothing.
There is only one year without starvation, but decades of starvation.
As long as they can work hard, they can ensure that these people will definitely use all their strength on the farmland in the coming year, and strive to create greater glories.
Don't think that propaganda is omnipotent. The inertia of death, the horror of starvation, and limited trust in the rulers... But those free people will not give up farming and go to industry.
However, compared with agriculture, industry requires an unprecedented large number of labor forces, especially skilled workers who have undergone long-term training, otherwise it will not be possible at all.
So Roger kept these slaves, but also helpless.
With officials and freemen both attaching importance to agriculture and cautiously watching industry, looking at the empire, only slaves are a brick of the revolution, and they can be moved wherever they are needed.
At least the past few years have to go through first, proving that the industry is strong, agricultural production has stabilized, proving that only a small population can put an end to famine, and officials and the public will have enough confidence to invest in industrial production.
Magic is not omnipotent. Unless Roger charms all the people of the empire, no matter how loud the slogan is, there is no white rice, and it can overcome the fear of death.
The earth also has a similar stage. In the early stage of industrial development, capitalists struggled to obtain sufficient labor force.
Whether it’s transporting black uncles to grow cotton, destroying the local small-scale farmers’ economy, or even attracting child laborers to factories to make money—in fact, to a certain extent, they are robbing laborers from people’s fear of starvation.
The emergence of child labor is not only the black heart of capitalists, but also fueled by their parents: in an era of backward productivity, children over ten years old are already laborers, and it is rare to go to work in the fields without following their parents.
Of course, because of their strength, half-old children's contribution is limited. When they realize that they can earn more income by going to the factory, the parents will take the initiative to send their children to work in the factory.
For farmers who are always on the brink of starvation, how can they think about how hard their children are and how much safety they leave behind, as long as they can survive, they will win.
As an adult labor force, unless the family really can't open the pot and don't even have any seeds, they are absolutely willing to enter the factory.
Even if they go, they are only going through the motions. After working for a few months and earning enough money to buy seeds, they will come back to farm...
This is a helpless tug-of-war. The earth takes a hundred years to complete this process, change the division of labor in society, and balance the contradiction between flour and steel, but the empire does not have such a big time.
For Roger, there are still slaves on hand that can be directly stuffed into the factory. Why turn them into free people, and then put them in the factory
That is also a kind of spiritual slavery for their desire to farm (shock)!
So why bother, let's just stop abolishing slaves and continue to let the residual heat be used.
Plantation owners have proved by practice that in the early stage of industrial development, reasonable slavery was necessary, even necessary, in order to expand output and production scale.
His kindness is not to actively create new slaves, not to launch wars to plunder the population, and to give these slaves the highest possible preferential treatment.
After all, this is their valuable industrial population. They will have enough food, labor protection props, literacy night school, and room for improvement.
Anyway, the empire can afford it, the wealth accumulated by the nobles, the harvest of the seventeen countries, and the monopoly production position that can be expected, give Roger enough confidence to support this cycle.
Leaving the identity of slaves just doesn't give them land, and doesn't give them the opportunity to choose their own farming.
When the industry develops well, these slave workers earn high incomes and live a good life, and they will also become live advertisements to attract farmers to industry.
Otherwise, people still prefer farming.jpg.
Especially the most industrious and hard-working main ethnic group in the empire, even if the wages of factories are much higher than that of farming, they will feel that it is unreliable...
You may have gotten rid of hunger for decades, and losing weight has become a daily routine. The rabbit people will still pay more attention than other fields because of the price of food, vegetables and meat.
Watch out for starvation!
Similar warnings, like the fear of firepower, are probably written into the DNA of that nation.
The imperial people are fierce and belligerent, but their ardent expectations for agriculture are no less than that of the Rabbit Country.
There was a live demonstration by Roger using their own choice, even the officials who agreed to abolish slavery were also thinking about it at the moment, and understood the problem of labor mobility that Roger was worried about.
State farms have freedmen and even military colonies, which are enough to produce a minimum supply of food.
The introduction of existing slaves into industry will not affect the agricultural structure of the empire in the next few years...
So if you don't give up, you won't give up. No matter what, in today's empire, their quality of life will improve a lot. As long as they have enough food and clothing and no rebellion, it is not easy for them to disobey the orders of the central government.
When the intensity of the discussion here subsided, someone finally noticed that the temperature around them had dropped, and there were always a pair of icy eyes looking at them.
"Key politics" was too happy, no one noticed that Margaret had been standing here for a long time, and the smile she tried to put on her face stiffened, and she looked rather unhappy.
She is also a beautiful woman, and she is also a noble left minister of the empire. As a result, everyone was discussing slaves, but no one was aware of her existence...
It's really abominable, that resentment keeps coming out, scaring many people!
Seeing that her real target was Roger, the officials present did not want to block the knife for him, and some even misunderstood that this was a romantic debt owed by Lord Charles!
After all, at her age and his age, she can be regarded as a talented woman~
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Roger and Margaret face to face.
"Mr. Margaret, what's the matter?" Roger asked politely. For some reason, he felt that the little devil's eyes were not simple hostility, and it was so complicated that it made one's scalp tingle.
What new misunderstandings have arisen between me and her

Chapter 168 Cross-server chat with the little devil
Originally, Roger's side was a crowded area for the ball, but because of Margaret's arrival, everyone consciously gave her space.
The officials behind watched the two people talking, and they were embarrassed to come forward to disturb them.
The prime minister is also the head of the hundred officials, so face is still to be given.
Therefore, under the eyes of the surrounding people, a lot of space was suddenly vacated, which made the atmosphere of the two people a little stiff.
Roger is rather magnanimous. He has adjusted his relationship with this little devil as much as possible. He can do whatever he can, but he can't overturn the table. Who is afraid of who
When the time comes, I will hang it in the air by the tail, and let's blow the Margarita brand small ceiling fan.
Margaret was still quite uneasy, and only felt that the current situation was very troublesome.
Just a stinky brother, why am I nervous
Sensing that someone was looking at her tail, Margaret knew that the Queen punished herself without a third party present, but she felt inexplicably that Roger seemed to know something.
With a swoosh, he pinned his tail behind him.
She took a deep breath and tried her best to eliminate the negative emotions brought about by the long wait, so as not to let herself break out of petty temper, which further deteriorated her relationship with Roger.
From Dior's efforts to reconcile his relationship with Angelina, he knew that Dior cared about the Charles brothers and sisters.
He and Roger have that kind of indistinguishable relationship again. No matter how strong his relationship is, he has to be afraid of Roger going to blow the pillow, right
Margaret smiled and raised her glass to toast Roger: "I just want to toast Roger, your contribution to the empire is irreplaceable. It's a new year, and I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation. ."
Her voice is quite sincere, and in the face of the Queen of Eternal Night, Roger is indeed a great contributor to the current development of the empire.
Kick out those annoying nobles, the imperial power is high, Margaret also has a higher voice in the army, and she is very comfortable in her childhood.
More importantly, His Majesty is happy!
She, the most loyal knight who protects the queen, will of course be happy along with her!
So use this logic to adjust her mentality. Margaret only thinks that Roger is the commander of the Night Guard and the editor-in-chief of "New Arcane", ignoring his identity as the younger brother of the Blue-haired Virgin, and also recognizes him very much. A qualified minister, toast with sincerity.
But this greeting is not wrong, in Roger's voice, but it is worthy of vigilance.
If the little devil came over to provoke it, it would be better to say. With such a posture, I am afraid there is a suspicion of a weasel greeting the chicken for the New Year, and it is suspected of being a traitor or stealing
Roger clinked glasses with her, and said lightly, "The Night Guard and the military are two sides of the same coin. Close cooperation is the right thing to do, and there will definitely be opportunities."
"Then I need Lord Roger to take care of me!"
