Terra Martial God and Merit System

For a meal, they dared to go to the mine and sign a contract to become guinea pigs.

And the potatoes that Luo Chen handed over...

If those people had the seeds of these potatoes, they would abandon the ones they had and flee to the wilderness, never to move the city again.

Yes, civilization has many advantages and provides a lot for people to enjoy.

But the lower class people can never enjoy the advantages of civilization, but can only feel the oppression of civilization.

Tallulah knew...if this happened, the masters would no longer be able to control the lower class people.

The main population of a mobile city will quickly flee the city and never come back.

You mean force?

How many soldiers in the army join the army just to eat military rations?

Tallulah suddenly realized that this little potato was not just a simple food, but a bomb that would destroy the existing order.

Even if she sold this thing to other nobles, they would never grow it in their own territories.

What a joke. Even though Lie collected 90% of the agricultural tax, the farmers could still have enough food every day. How could they oppress each other?

"Oh, by the way, this is for you." Luo Chen remembered something and handed Tallulah a handwritten book.

[You have drawn——Sacred Food Production Manual]

[Potatoes are truly sacred food. This manual tells you how to prepare potatoes to make them even more delicious.]

"These are some production methods found in the ruins. I translated them and wrote them down."

"There are a lot of interesting things in it... I feel like this is the core."

"Go and discuss with Lin Yuxia about transforming our food processing factory..."

Luo Chen studied the thing he had drawn when he had nothing to do and found that the knowledge contained in it was not just about cooking.

Or...it's a cooking method that involves molecular level.

For example, one of the technologies is 'starch saccharification'.

The starch in potatoes is extracted and then converted into syrup through some chemical and physical means.

Syrup is the hottest-selling commodity in Ursus.

After all, in cold weather, sugar can provide sufficient energy.

If this technology is replicated, Kamsko will have an endless supply of syrup to enjoy. It is a good thing for both improving happiness and trade.

Of course, there are more than one technique. Luo Chen deleted the overly complicated ones, such as using nuclear fission to bake potatoes and beating potatoes to make them delicious, and then wrote out the more normal ones.

But even these simple ones, if mass-produced, are enough to be at the top of this world.

"Yes!" Tallulah seemed to remember something. She put away the book that Luo Chen handed over. "Since the potato production is so high... low grain prices hurt farmers. What should we do?"

"I have thought about this a long time ago. Just do as I ask." Luo Chen said easily.

He took this into consideration when dividing the land.

Luo Chen didn't want the situation from his previous life to happen again, and the results of his inquiry into the system were somewhat special, but also completely understandable.

That is to make all farmers 'professional'...implement a huge state-owned farm system, where every farmer is no longer a farmer but an 'agricultural worker'.

Luo Chen feels that this solution is good, but it still needs to be done step by step.

When Tallulah saw that Luo Chen had a plan, she immediately felt relieved.

She took out a small object from her arms and handed it to Luo Chen.

"What is this?" Luo Chen lowered his head to observe it. It was a round object with irregular purple-black patterns on it, and it looked pretty nice.

"It's a popular little charm these days. It's said to bring luck, so I bought one. Do you want one?"

"....." Luo Chen looked at the other person carefully.

Although Tallulah's tone was questioning, her actions were obvious.

Luo Chen thought that if he refused, Tallulah might be in a bad mood, and if she was in a bad mood, she would not work well.

If you don't work hard, you will have less merit.

So – not accepting = no merit!

Luo Chen took it and pinned it to the corner of his clothes. Then he nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Yeah." Tallulah looked very happy and answered softly. "I'm going to work first."

"Go."

Tallulah skipped away.

Luo Chen was holding this little thing and felt very magical.

But he shook his head and got rid of this feeling from his mind.

Luo Chen has other things to do now.

for example.....

Kamsiko and Lin Yuxia's temporary contracts are coming to an end.

Chapter 111 Apology

Lin Yuxia came to Kamsco purely out of curiosity, but because of Luo Chen's forced enticement, she had to stay here.

Of course, she only signed a contract with Kamsko for one winter.

Now...the time is almost up.

Luo Chen was unwilling to let such an excellent tool run away, so he came to the Ministry of Commerce.

The business department is still very busy.

Or they've been busy.

From the initial inventory of accounts and the sorting out of crimes to the current economic planning after stabilization.

These young people from Longmen spent the most fulfilling winter of their lives in Kamsco.

Luo Chen felt that although the people in the room were a little tired, most of them were in high spirits.

Kamsko is very small, and government affairs are running smoothly after Luo Chen took over.

The decisions these young people make in the morning may be put into practice in the afternoon. The positive feedback they get from seeing their own results is amazing.

Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then came to the minister's office. A conversation came from inside the door -

"What's the situation with the Market Construction Department?"

"I want specific details. No official language! Otherwise I will go directly to the city lord!"

"very good...."

"The report must be submitted tomorrow. No delay of any kind is allowed."

Luo Chen was shocked when he heard this. Lin Yuxia was quite efficient and decisive when working.

Even....I have learned to use my own name? To be honest, am I that terrible?

Luo Chen knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.

Lin Yuxia was the only one in the room. She had just put down the phone and was drinking tea. She was startled when she saw Luo Chen coming in. She obviously didn't expect him to appear here.

"What are you here for?"

"I'm the mayor. Can't I come and inspect the work?"

"As long as you don't have anything else to do, I'll thank you." Lin Yuxia pressed her temple irritably, "I'm having a headache maintaining Kamsco's business..."

"I noticed..." Luo Chen glanced at Lin Yuxia's dark circles. "You should have a good rest."

"There are still so many things to do, I can't rest..." Lin Yuxia shook her head, "My time is precious. Tell me what you want to do?"

"Uh...it's okay." Luo Chen shook his head.

He didn't know whether Lin Yuxia had forgotten about the contract or was pretending not to know.

It would be better for Luo Chen not to talk about this matter now.

What if Lin Yuxia wanted to pretend that she didn't know and hide it, and Luo Chen exposed her as soon as he asked. Wouldn't that make Lin Yuxia very embarrassed?

Hmm...Based on the other party's previous performance, this possibility is not small. If he really felt homesick, he would have asked a long time ago.

Ah! Same as Tallulah. Say it out loud = no merit.

Luo Chen chose not to say anything.

"Are you really okay?" Lin Yuxia looked at Luo Chen suspiciously. She suddenly stood up and walked in. "Are you sure?"

Luo Chen shuddered.

This reminded him of some memories from his past life. For example, you, who didn't do housework, suddenly cleaned the house one day, and your mother spoke in the same tone when she came home.

Of course, the reason for doing this might be because you failed an exam or got into trouble.

In short - if someone shows too much kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!

Luo Chen realized that both the Da Yan here and his previous life had some strange similarities.

"It's really okay." Luo Chen shook his head, "But..."

He changed the subject and pointed to the corner of the room. "You have good taste. Are you planting flowers in your office?"

"Hmm..." Lin Yuxia continued to look at Luo Chen.

She always felt that the other party was hiding something from her. She just glanced at the flower Luo Chen pointed at and nodded.

"It was recently given by a representative of a caravan. It was just a simple gift, not a bribe."

"And to be honest... considering my gardening skills, this flower is very poorly pruned!"

"But the weather is getting warmer... and some flowers are appearing..."

Lin Yuxia suddenly laughed as she spoke.

"Are you here for the contract?"

"Uh..." Luo Chen spread his hands, as a sign of agreement.

"I held a vote before..." Lin Yuxia walked to the bed and looked at the street outside the City Lord's Mansion.

"Our team is not just made up of me, there are many young people from Longmen. Although we are strangers in a foreign land at the moment, the voting result is that basically everyone is willing to stay here."

"I actually looked down on some of them before. Some of them were even forced in by Commander Wei. After all, there were conflicts within Longmen, and Commander Wei had a lot to consider."

"Those people are some nouveau riche kids, they do things very radically and have a lot on their mind. I don't like them very much."

"But the longer they stay here... the more obvious their changes become."

“Become more confident, more mature, more generous and gentle.”

"I think they may have been lost before. They don't know their direction and don't know how to go."

"For some of them, the meaning of their lives before may not be as great as this winter. This makes them reluctant to leave here."

"Kamsky gave them a goal. It gave these confused young people a beacon."

"This is how we should go. Where we end up will be the end."

"Are you among them too?" Luo Chen suddenly asked.

Lin Yuxia was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I'm among them too."

"That contract..."

"The social security payment for the first half of this year has already been made. Don't you know about this?"

"Uh..." Luo Chen blinked, "I really don't know."
