Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 570: Chapter 26: Jorn Shallow Bay’s Plan for Promoting to the Dawn Holy Land

Although Vandar was full of fantasies about the celestial phenomenon, in any case, after this grand sacrificial ceremony, such a sacred phenomenon greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of everyone in the Territory.

Moreover, the universal descent of Divine Grace means that the per-acre yield of fields in the Hesse Territory would generally receive a slight increase, with an additional yield of about 20 jin per acre being a straightforward matter.

This further boosted the enthusiasm and positivity of all the slaves, after all, a good harvest means safety.

Just on the day before this Spring Brings Life to All Things festival, the Territory strictly enforced the ”Power Field Technique”, and a total of 13 slaves with the lowest productivity were sent to the Squier gallows and were executed in full view of over a thousand slaves.

This terrifying scene chilled countless slaves to the bone. Death in itself is already so frightening, but what’s even scarier is no one knows upon whom death will fall.

Before the Spring Brings Life to All Things festival, the Territory implemented severe punishment, effectively dispelling the laziness and apathy among all slaves, making everyone tighten their state and spirit, aiming to create value to the fullest during the Spring Brings Life to All Things ritual.

Of course, this Spring Brings Life to All Things ritual is a festival filled with vitality. The Territory also had rewards that perfectly matched the festival atmosphere last night.

Just after executing 13 lazy and deceitful slaves, when all the slaves were terrified and uneasy, the Territory, following the incentive plan of the ”Power Field Technique”, liberated as many as 15 slaves from their slavery! To ensure that these emancipated individuals wouldn’t quickly slip back into the slave class due to lack of assets, every one of them was also granted 1 Golden Crown, two draft horses, and as many as 3 sacks of grain (150 jin).

The Territory has favorable policies for renting land; as long as one applies to join Hesse Territory, they can rent 20 acres of farmland for free, exempt from land rent with a 10% reduction in the Nineteen Taxes. This means these slaves will have a foothold, at least ensuring their clothing and food needs before the harvest season.

Golden Crowns as a reward are truly a drop in the bucket for the Territory, as sometimes Su Li’s luxurious aristocratic lifestyle consumes far more wealth in a single day.

Yet, the stimulus and intensity for all the slaves are unparalleled. Being free from slavery! In any territory, this is almost an impossible phenomenon.

In this world of despair, hope is like a precious gemstone.

Yet in the Hesse Territory, this became a reality.

The longing for emancipation immediately outweighed their fear of death.

Especially during this Spring Brings Life to All Things festival, filled with hope and vitality.

Everyone eagerly looked at Su Li, tightly gripping their plows and farm tools, waiting only for Su Li’s order to begin fully cultivating this field of fertile land.

As Su Li raised the whip and lashed it onto a brightly decorated plowing ox, the Spring Bull Racing Ceremony officially began.

As the Shepherd Leader of the Dawn Church, Minister of Agriculture Vandar personally guided the plow, tilling over a hundred meters in the field.

This marks the official start of the grand farming undertaking in the Territory this year!

Below the Jorn Shallow Bay, thousands of serfs, territorial people, and Half-Elves farmed zealously under the guidance of the nuns from the Dawn Church.

The densely packed crowd spread over the fertile land of Jorn Shallow Bay, the Half-Elves stepped on their agricultural tools, plowing forward proudly under the envious eyes of the serfs, at this moment they seemed like proud Knights among the human lords riding on warhorses.

It’s understandable for them to have such thoughts, after all, if one really goes to the battlefield, their agricultural tools could also harvest heads. The Combat Rams pulled these heavy plowing machines forward, where the six rows of steel teeth passed, turning the hard-packed earth into velvet-like fertile soil.

In less than an hour, under the golden warm sun, they plowed 10 acres of fields using a machine.

Su Li sat atop the embankment of Jorn Shallow Bay, with an unobstructed view of the tens of thousands of acres of farmland being cultivated below.

These ant-like territorial people will turn this fertile soil into vast fields, and then harvest countless golden grains by the harvest season.

This greatly improved his mood, as he watched this vibrant scene for a long time in the gentle spring breeze.

After hosting the ceremony, Vandar came to Su Li and reported: ”Lord, good news. Before the Blood Sacrifice, the army successfully delivered the corpses. We offered up four Father of Grains, Polevik together, and obtained 1200 acres of Blood Field in total.”

Su Li nodded with a smile, having a great view from the embankment, he already saw the scene below where a group of people were performing the Blood Sacrifice surrounding the land, the slender-limbed Polevik chanted a long incantation, then the land below spread with the Dawn Goddess’s green light, turning a full 1200 acres of land into fields blessed by Divine Grace.

This scale exceeded what Vandar expected, with a total of 2100 acres of Blood Field, it indeed is like a vermilion mark of the Border Prince’s Territory.

Then Su Li laughed and said, ”This is indeed good news. However, we must continue to strive forward, to bathe more fields in Divine Grace.”

The effects of the Blood Sacrifice last only for 10 years, and one year of that period has already elapsed, so bathing more fields in Divine Grace is truly not an easy task for the Territory.
