Land could be used for many things.
In Viscount Roster's view, land could be cultivated. As long as you cultivated enough, you could control grain prices. That way, naturally, magic-tech industrial development would proceed more smoothly.
Having more places for planting naturally meant being able to face various natural disasters.
Besides that, land could also absorb more employment.
As development continued, Viscount Roster had also realized the importance of employment rates.
In the past, most people were farmers, slaves, or barely surviving in the lowest levels of society.
Perhaps such people were easier to get faith from, but it was very difficult to convert them into faith for the God of Technology.
As a believer of the God of Technology, his only goal was to make the world more industrialized.
So he needed to transform more people into an industrial population, or let more people have access to industrial products.
