They could obtain this grain because of a novel policy issued by the territory in the very beginning. The general idea was that the miraculous plants around the territory grew too quickly, making the official harvesting personnel insufficient. Temporarily mobilizing others would be too costly and inefficient, so they opened it up for public bidding. For example, if a plot of land could yield two thousand acres of wheat, the territory would contract it out for the price of one thousand five hundred acres. The contractor would hire their own harvesters, and any yield beyond the initial baseline would belong entirely to them.
Freedom Manufacturing capitalized on this dividend right from the start. They boldly contracted two plots of land, hired workers to harvest, and earned their first pot of gold. Relying on those initial profits, they expanded increasingly fast. In just two or three years, they became one of the top three Fine Workshops in the entire Mulberry Field Town!
