I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 66 Agricultural Apprentice, Agricultural Society

It can be said that this is the initial stage of the dynasty's development, and also the best time to establish the subsequent system.

If you wait until everything has settled down before trying to make changes, it won't be so easy.

When has a system reform ever been without bloodshed and turmoil?
In that case, let's establish the system from the beginning.

In addition, the farmers in Weiyuan County had previously refused to accept the land and property distributed to them, so they took it all for themselves and only allowed the farmers to rent it out.

Since such an opportunity had arisen, the dynasty simply took over all the land and made it public, allowing the people to contract out farming.

As for the contract fee, it is naturally 30% of the harvest.

Of course, the dynasty would not touch the land and property originally owned by the common people.

However, the dynasty also stipulated that land could not be bought and sold privately.

If the people want to sell their land, they have to sell it to the dynasty, and the dynasty will buy it at the market price and will never deliberately lower the price.

As for whether those below will resort to extortion or plunder, that's a matter of regulation, not policy.

Once the policy was issued, the dynasty and its officials did their best to implement it, and dealt directly with any those who seized or plundered the property.

After all, even in later generations, with advanced technology, higher levels of culture, and greater legal awareness than today, there were still many instances of plunder, murder, and arson.

Wang Chao didn't think he could completely eliminate all of this.

All we can say is that we should try our best to develop and strive in a positive direction.

After all, as long as it is ruled by people, there will always be many oversights, such as favors and personal relationships, and even corruption and bribery.

What they need to do is to formulate corresponding systems, as well as regulatory and penalty policies, and strengthen regulatory efforts, etc.

Of course, the dynasty also had some unique ideas that awaited verification.

In the following period, in addition to training troops, the Wang family began to organize the people to carry out autumn planting.

Although it's already September, the hot weather means that not everything is impossible to harvest.

For example, soybeans and peanuts, although it's not the best season, should still be able to yield some harvest.

When organizing the people to cultivate the land, the dynasty even worked alongside them.

Whenever the dynasty arrived here, it would lament that its spiritual power and spiritual realm were insufficient.

If he can master the "Flower Blooms in an Instant" technique from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, then he won't have to worry about the harvest at all.

If he plants it today, he can harvest it today.

Unfortunately, firstly, his spiritual power was simply insufficient to develop the Thirty-Six Great Divine Powers of the Three Heavenly Gangs.

Secondly, Wang Chao's realm was also insufficient. He could vaguely sense that to evolve the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, he needed to truly master the power of the rules, rather than merely borrowing the power of the rules of heaven and earth as he was doing now.

However, it's not like there's no way to solve the problem.

Standing in a pavilion in the Wu family compound, I looked at the busy farmers in the distance, their joy mixed with sorrow.

They were delighted that the chieftain was truly kind-hearted, as he only accepted 30% of their harvest and waived all other miscellaneous taxes and levies.

They even distributed seeds like soybeans.

The worry is, if we plant now, will we still be able to harvest it in time?

If we can't harvest them, wouldn't all these soybean seeds be wasted?

If that's the case, then it's better to save it so that it can last longer through this winter.

However, Wang Chao was not worried about these things. He could not make the flowers bloom instantly, planting one moment and harvesting the next.

However, he was not incapable of developing the supernatural power to accelerate crop growth to a certain extent.

He stretched out his hand, and a burst of spiritual light appeared on his palm.

"buzzing"

The moment it appeared in the outside world, it began to spread out circles of mysterious fluctuations, gradually merging with the surrounding world. Strands of the power of rules flowed out from the surrounding void, slowly merging into that ball of spiritual radiance.

"Om~!"

With a faint hum, the ball of spiritual light suddenly contracted, and its color changed from its initial transparent and formless state to a deep blue-green.

Supernatural Power: Nurturing Crops, Level 1. Increases the growth rate of crops by 10%, covering an area of ​​one kilometer in radius, lasting for half an hour.

This is the magic of the dynasty's evolution.

Because it is a ranged supernatural power, the effect is not immediate, but rather it gradually increases the growth rate.

Normally, the growth cycle takes 100 days, but with the frequent use of the Nurturing Seed Power, it can be fully harvested in about 90 days.

Unfortunately, this growth rate cannot be sustained for long.

However, if more personnel can be deployed, it should be possible to cover a wider area for a longer period of time.

Moreover, as they continue to use their supernatural powers, the effects will naturally increase and the duration will gradually lengthen.

If one can break through to level two or even level three, the effect will be even more astonishing.

Wang Chao gazed at the azure-green ball of divine light in his palm, and with a thought, he stored it in his consciousness space.

The next moment, another ball of spiritual light appeared, and mysterious fluctuations spread, repeating the previous process once again.

This time, however, what was condensed and evolved was an earth-yellow divine power.

Earth Path, a first-level supernatural power, allows one to move on the earth, increasing the caster's travel speed by 30% to 100%.

After taking it into his consciousness space, Wang Chao's mind followed.

In the blink of an eye, a projection of a Heavenly Rank card appeared before him.

[Apprentice Farmer] is a basic agricultural profession with some knowledge of farming.

This is the divine status that a dynasty acquired while working the land alongside the people.

With another thought in his mind, projections of the Earth Element and Nurturing Grain Divine Powers appeared before him.

What followed was naturally a series of fusion experiments.

After about half an hour, they finally completed their final fusion.

"Hoo~!"

At this moment, Wang Chao finally let out a long breath and suddenly opened his eyes.

As he sensed the slowly rotating Heavenly Status of the [Apprentice of Agriculture] within his consciousness space, a playful smile appeared on Wang Chao's face.

In the future, becoming a farmer will not be such a simple matter.

Not only do you need to know about farming, but you also need to master supernatural powers. And until you have mastered them to a certain extent, you can only be an "apprentice in agriculture".

To become a farmer, you need to have a wealth of agricultural knowledge and upgrade your supernatural abilities to level two.

"Hehe." Thinking of these things, Wang Chao couldn't help but chuckle.

Just then, Wang Chao lowered his gaze and saw a pair of people quickly heading towards the pavilion.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chao's smile faded, and he turned and left the pavilion.

When they arrived at the entrance of the attic, the two people had already come close.

"Chief, I have brought Uncle Wang."

The leading soldier of the dynasty army respectfully saluted the dynasty.

"Chief Wang!"

The man behind the soldier was an old man with gray hair, dark skin covered in wrinkles, and dry, calloused hands.

Upon seeing the dynasty, he first smiled, then greeted it somewhat reservedly.

"Uncle Wang!"

Wang Chao smiled and replied, then looked at the soldier.

"Okay, Jiang Bo, you can go now!"

"Yes!"

After Jiang Bo left, Wang Chao looked at Uncle Wang again.

"Hehe, Chief Wang, may I ask what brings you here to summon this old man this time?"

"Hehe, Uncle Wang, don't be so formal. I asked you to come here today because there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Wang Chao smiled and pulled Uncle Wang along, heading towards the reception room of the Wu family compound, speaking softly as they went.

"Oh, Chief, you said you needed my help, and I will do my utmost."

Looking at the Dynasty with its gentle smile, seemingly still the same as before, Uncle Wang's smile became even more sincere, almost forming wrinkles all over his face as he patted his chest and made a firm promise.

Uncle Wang, whose real name is Wang Chengzhong, is considered an elder of Xiaowangzhuang.

Because he was kind and helpful, he was always willing to lend a hand whenever anyone needed help, and he was also a very capable worker. He was well-liked and respected in Xiaowangzhuang.

Originally, because of Wang Chao's different status now, he was extremely nervous before meeting Wang Chao.

However, upon seeing the current dynasty, people discovered that although the dynasty seemed to have become more majestic.

However, his attitude towards him did not change much, and the slight estrangement he felt due to the change in his status as a member of the dynasty gradually faded away.

They became much more assertive and bold in their speech.

"Heh, I just want to start an organization."

"Forming an organization?"

Looking at the dynasty, Wang Chengzhong was extremely surprised. What was he talking about with an old farmer like him?
Without hesitation, Wang Chengzong asked with a slightly uneasy expression.

"Does this have anything to do with this old man?"

"Yes, I want to start a farming cooperative."

"Agricultural cooperative?"

Wang Chengzong asked in confusion, but he already had some guesses in his heart.

Just hearing his name, one can't help but associate him with farmers, so it's no wonder they were looking for him.

"Chief, what is the purpose of this agricultural cooperative?"

"A farmer's association, as the name suggests, is a community of farmers, composed of village elders or people skilled in farming."

This included organizing the villagers to cultivate the land, pay taxes, convey our army's policies, and report situations to me, etc.

"So this is ah."

Wang Chengzong suddenly realized, "Isn't this the village head and grain chief?"

However, judging from Wang Chao's words, it was clear that he didn't intend to recruit one or two people, which was different from the village chief.

"How many people do you need to hire?"

Thinking of this, Wang Chengzong couldn't help but ask.

"Currently, I serve as the head of the agricultural cooperative, and each village recruits about three to five members."

The quantity can be increased later.

Furthermore, I plan to elect a village chief for each village.

The village head must be a member of the agricultural cooperative, elected by secret ballot by the entire village, serving a three-year term.
They can receive a certain salary.
Let's say one shi (a unit of dry measure) of salary per year.

This was an attempt by the dynasty to plan for future development.

If he were to succeed in his rebellion, he would certainly not allow a situation where imperial power does not extend to the countryside.

Following that, Wang Chao shared some of his thoughts with Wang Chengzhong.

Ultimately, despite worrying that I wouldn't do a good job.

However, Wang Chengzhong still decided to give it a try according to the dynasty's idea.

Seeing that Wang Chengzhong had agreed, Wang Chao smiled and said again:
"Uncle Wang, since you've decided to join the farmers' cooperative, I'll grant you the benefits of a cooperative member now."

"No, no, this is something that benefits us peasants, how could I possibly ask for any more benefits?"

"Hehe, yes, yes."

This is not just a benefit; it's also for you to help the villagers with their farming.
"That's part of your job, isn't it?"

"Okay then!"

Wang Chengzong hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Chengzhong saw Wang Chao raise his hand, as if he were holding something.

However, no matter how wide he looked, he couldn't see anything.

The next instant, he saw Wang Chao suddenly point a finger at him.

Before he could react, he felt something suddenly enter his mind, causing his consciousness to go blank for a moment.

After realizing what was happening, he sensed a pitch-black space in his mind.

In the very center of this space, a card radiating light floats, illuminating a central area.

Thank you all for your support!
