Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2578 The art festival warms up the main plane "face rubbing"

On the north side of Codex Square.

While designing the environment and equipment for the demiplane experiment with the intellectual brain in his consciousness, Xia Duo walked slowly north along the [Big Xia-Saville Passage].

It's already halfway through September, and the fields are golden. Xia Duo just came this time. The wheat harvesting team organized by the territorial logistics department is harvesting from south to north to around Xinsan Village.

In the wheat field, in front of them are strong men with big arms and round waists who are laying down the mature golden wheat stalks. Behind them are young leaders who are mixed with men and women. Personnel came to move the baled straw to the trailer and transported it to the direction of the village corresponding to the village field.

In addition, some half-grown children and their parents brought tea and food to entertain the staff of the harvesting team on the ridge. Some people came to drink and eat when they were tired.

After the trailer left with the baled straw, the restless children, under the command of their parents, had fun in the field with thin sacks not much smaller than their own, and the accidents during harvesting, baling, and transportation Pick up individual wheat stalks and ears that fall.

Every time the bag is half full, I will go to my parents to ask for credit. The bean-sized sweat drops on their foreheads reflect the delicate sunshine like shining diamonds.

There are also some children whose parents are reluctant to let them pick ears of wheat, but Sahuan is indeed the same. They surround their parents and partners, run from time to time, grab a frog from the field, put it in front of their friends, and let out a big haha laugh.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help being infected by the hilarious scene, and what surprised him even more was that there were still two elves in the harvesting field.

The two elves were standing on the ridge holding the lute and were playing and singing some songs. Xia Duo was a little far away and couldn't hear them clearly, but judging from the performance of the surrounding crowd, at least the children liked it.

They jumped up and down around the elves, wanting to get close but they were a bit too afraid, but the two elves lowered their heads from time to time and approached them to tease them, making the children look like cats with fur He ran away suddenly, but soon surrounded him again.

Xia Duo walked slowly towards the north, and suddenly he seemed to hear a child crying in a distant field. He turned his head and saw that a child had fallen down and was crying loudly with his hands covered.

But the reason why the little guy is suffering so loudly may not be because his hand is injured, but because his mother is holding him and spanking hard.

After this accident happened, although the other children should still play, their movements were significantly smaller and they were no longer so noisy.

And the injured child walked towards Linshui Village under the leadership of his mother. It seemed that he wanted to go to the altar square to get some holy water to soothe his wounds.

But when they passed by the two elves who were playing and singing, one of the elves stopped them and didn't know what to say, so the mother and son stopped.

Then Xia Duo saw that the child stretched out a hand to the elf in aggrieved manner, and then the elf seemed to just reach out and wipe the child's hand, and the child immediately jumped up.

As if offering a treasure, he stretched out his hand in front of his mother, but only received one slap from his mother, but this time it was not like the spanking just now, this time it was just a light slap.

After that, the mother took the child and thanked the elf. It seemed that the injury on the child's hand was really healed.

Now that the child was cured, the mother did not take the child away, but went back to the field with her husband to continue to stare at the labor scene of the harvesting team, and occasionally went to pick up some fallen wheat stalks and ears, or went to Give some food and drink to the harvest team members.

On the contrary, the little kid forgot how he was injured in a blink of an eye, and continued to run and jump in the field, and at the same time showed his injured right hand to the friends who played with him. He was so unhappy that he completely forgot He was the one who cried just now.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo smiled, and then continued to walk north. The northern harvesting team hadn't harvested there yet, but some villages spontaneously formed harvesting teams.

After all, these leaders were poor peasants not long ago. Even if some money was distributed during the land granting ceremony, they still prefer to do things by themselves rather than pay others.

Of course, the territorial logistics department organizes the harvesting team not for free, at least those members of the harvesting team can’t work in vain, but the money collected by each household is not much, mainly relying on the amount of money to make money. After all, harvesting is much easier than pioneering.

This money is allocated to one hundred households in a new village, and most people are still willing to pay the money, but there are exceptions, as Xia Duo sees now.

The village in front of me is obviously harvesting by the villagers themselves. Unlike the field just now, most of the children were playing around. The children here not only have to send food and drink to their parents, but also occasionally participate in the work of binding.

But this is not what Xia Duo originally thought. Each family only cares about their own. Instead, the village cooperative organizes all the young and strong laborers. Both men and women work together, and children can only be regarded as incidentals.

Regarding the organization of the village cooperative, Xia Duo only saw a copy of the relevant documents in the study room of the villa in Linshui Village not long ago. Generally speaking, the villagers organized themselves through the land and determined the final income share according to the share.

It has nothing to do with what is planted on their own land. What to plant is decided by the cooperative. Just because a certain piece of land is planted with high-value crops, the owner of that piece of land will not get more money from the cooperative.

At the same time, in order to avoid the lack of enthusiasm for big pot meals, cooperative societies price labor, and the more you work, the more you get. If you don’t work, you can only reap the part of the land, and the share is still deducted from the wages of the laborers.

If everyone is unwilling to work, then all the labor can be outsourced. In this way, although the income is much less, at least there is a basic guaranteed income.

The reason why Xia Duo insists on granting land to every household and person is precisely for this purpose. Everyone has a piece of land, and no matter how bad they are, they will not starve to death. People elsewhere are more confident.

Any civilization that is advanced or advertises as advanced needs to provide the necessary backing guarantee for civilized individuals!
At the current stage, there are only two things that Xia Duo can provide. One is land, which guarantees that people will not starve to death, and the other is education, which provides a way for the citizens to make progress.

In addition, there are some basic facilities, such as masonry roads, magic street lights, squares, and even canteens, pubs, theaters, etc., which can be regarded as necessary benefits on top of the foundation.

This is all he can provide at present, and if there are no accidents in the future, he will provide more.

The reason for this is mainly because he does not think that living well is an obstacle to the development of civilization, but the purpose of the development of civilization is to make people live well!
Those civilizations that use various calculations to make people have no spare money, spare energy, and spare time, and can only squeeze themselves into reproduction are not real civilizations at all.

Xia Duo believes that a loose and ample environment is the best growth environment for wisdom. Gaining inspiration through squeezing can only gain temporary benefits, but cannot achieve long-term development.
