Chapter 35 What I Want to Do

Xu Yi walked out of the city lord's mansion, looked up at the stars in the night sky, let out a long breath of white, a wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and shook his head slightly.

It would be nice if Earl Summer was still serving as the lord of Bangta City, then he wouldn't have to go around the corner and think about all kinds of irrelevant things when he wanted to do something like now.

Earl Stark finally agreed to the bet with him, and really signed an agreement with him, but in fact, this bet did not benefit Xu Yi himself and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Because what he wants Earl Stark to agree to is actually the hope that Earl Stark can fully implement the mechanized farming reform in Bonta City.

This matter is very good for promoting the agricultural development of Bangta City, and the benefit for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is probably that it can liberate the agricultural labor force through the reform of mechanized farming, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can more easily hire enough manpower only.

But to be honest, with the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, whether it is the local residents of Bangta City or the people of Lampari Kingdom who come to Bangta City to work from other places, as long as they are looking for a job, the first choice is The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not too short of manpower.

The only thing to worry about is the manpower problem elsewhere.

Speaking of this, Xu Yi had to sigh with emotion, the population of Lampari Kingdom, or the entire Sainz Continent, is really too small.

Bangta City, a small border town in the Kingdom of Lampari, has a registered population of only more than 50,000 people, and the Kingdom of Lampari, according to statistics, has less than 5 million people, which is not even as large as the population of a slightly larger city on Earth.

While the entire Sainz Continent has no specific statistics. But from what is recorded in various books. The population situation is slightly better than that of Lampari Kingdom. But it's not much stronger. The entire continent combined, probably has a population of two or three hundred million.

It is precisely because of this that Earl Stark is very sensitive to the fact that the new flying merchant will attract the farmers of Bangta City to the Duchy of Standing, and he clearly expresses his opposition.

Because the total population of Bangta City is so large, if part of it is poached by the New Flying Merchants Association, it may really have a serious impact on the agricultural production of Bangta City.

However, Zai Xu also promised that he would only take away less than 2,000 farmers, and analyzed it to Earl Stark with actual data. In fact, with the help of the farmland magic machinery, Bangta City does not need as much manpower to participate in agricultural production as before, and Earl Stark reluctantly agrees with Xu Yi's judgment.

And the bet with Xu Yi will benefit Bangta City without any harm, and of course Count Stark will readily agree.

What's more, Xu also promised that even if he wins the bet, he will provide 5,000 new farmland magic machines to Bangta City for free through the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to ensure the agricultural development of Bangta City.

Under such favorable conditions, even if Earl Stark had some doubts as to why Xu Yi would do this, the contract in black and white served as a guarantee. Earl Stark still finally agreed.

However, even so, when the two initially signed the agreement. After some intense debate, the first draft of the agreement was reluctantly settled.

Thinking of the suspicious expression on Earl Stark's face just now, how could Xu Yi not smile bitterly.

In order for the magic industry to have a good environment for the development of soil, he took great pains.

Shaking his head and putting aside his complaints about Earl Stark and the stubborn conservatives headed by the Stark family, Xu Yi began to organize in his mind what he needed to do next.

After obtaining the assurance from Earl Stark that it will not interfere with the recruitment of farmers from Bangta City by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the next move of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should be to recruit two thousand farmers from Bangta City as soon as possible. , and bring them to the Principality of Standing as soon as possible to settle down, and then invest in the reclamation of the 100,000 hectares of land.

It is now the end of November. If you don't hurry up, you may not be able to finish the cultivation before the spring ploughing. If the harvest is missing for one season, Xu also can't guarantee that he will win the match with Earl Stark. bet.

Fortunately, the environment of the Principality of Standing is indeed unique. The geographical environment equivalent to the tropics ensures that it can still be cultivated in winter, and it will not only enter the dormant period in winter like the Kingdom of Lampari.

Moreover, according to the inspection, Xu also confirmed that it is possible to cultivate three seasons a year in the Principality of Standing.

Based on this alone, the food income is already much higher than that of the Lampari Kingdom.

And this is where Xu Yi and Count Stark made the bet.

In addition to hurrying to reclaim the 100,000 hectares of land, the three iron mines purchased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing have also officially started mining.

According to the reports of the dwarf craftsmen sent in the early stage, the iron ore of the three iron mines is actually high-content fine ores, which means that the iron content of these three iron mines is higher than the results expected from the previous exploration. Much higher.

Being able to buy these three mines from the Duchy of Standing at a price of 1.35 million gold coins, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took a big advantage.

At the same time, through Angklu's contact, Xu Yi also purchased seven more magic crystal mines from several nobles in the Duchy of Standing.

Because magic crystal ore can be seen everywhere on the continent of Sainz, and the amount used is very small, so this thing is not paid much attention. The Chamber of Commerce wanted to buy magic crystal mines, which was a complete surprise for these nobles in the Principality of Standing, so that in the end, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce spent only 500,000 gold coins to convert the seven largest magic power in the Duchy of Standing. Get all the crystal mines.

Many people are puzzled by this transaction, but Xu Yi is very clear that it will not take long for the magic crystal to become an important resource that is vigorously robbed by everyone. The transaction he has completed now is a big profit.

Except for the affairs of the Principality of Standing, the next most important thing is the investment in the Black Rice Wasteland.

The small base invested by the four chambers of commerce in the Black Rice Wasteland was quickly established after the last time the four chambers of commerce dealt a serious blow to the Orc Independence Legion in the Black Rice Wasteland.

Now a month has passed, and the base has already established a prototype. According to projections, it can be put into use early next year.

President Reelsa, who stayed in the Black Rice Wasteland and was mainly in charge of the base, has begun to openly recruit the orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland. Except for the four nearby orc tribes that had previously agreed with the four chambers of commerce, the Black Rice Several orc tribes deeper in the wasteland also had many orcs who came to express their willingness to join the human factory work.

According to this trend, as long as this base is completed and the factories of the four chambers of commerce are officially put into use, the influence of this base will radiate as far as 100 kilometers into the Black Rice Wasteland.

Xu Yi believes that within two years, the area affected by radiation will be completely incorporated into the human order.

If you follow this step and recommend it further, sooner or later, all the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland will be absorbed into the Human Chamber of Commerce's factory, and the trouble of Lampari Kingdom will be completely solved.

Next, there is the matter of the North.

Xu Yi tilted his head and looked northeast.

Thinking of going to Sewell City to invest, Xu Yi inevitably thought of Earl Summer who was serving as the city owner of Sewell City at this time.

If Earl Summer was not suddenly transferred and continued to stay in Bangta City to support Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then in the past six months, Bangta City will probably change again, not like it is now In this way, the whole development stagnated and even went backwards.

Looking further to the northeast, Xu Yi's mind came to the appearance of Princess Caroline.

The appearance is not inferior to Steele, but his style is countless times bolder than Steele's, his highness, which left a deep impression on Xu Yi.

Not because of her appearance and her naked temptation to Xu Yi, but because Xu Yi saw some shadows of Sevigny from her.

Xu Yi could see that the Princess Caroline seemed a little frivolous on the surface, but she really hoped that the Duchy of Drake would become stronger, so during the few days she visited the Rainfall Valley, she would always be indifferent. Pausing to ask questions, trying to absorb all the novelties seen here.

In this state, Princess Caroline exudes charm that is far more fascinating than when she poses seductively to Xu Yi.

Thinking of the last words the Princess Caroline said to him before he left, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head, and then quickly shook his head to get rid of these distracting thoughts.

After calming down, Xu Yi identified the direction and walked to the product service center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City.

This is his habit. Every time he comes to Bangta City, he will go to the product service center to listen to the report.

Because the product service center directly faces the customers of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it can get the most direct information from the customers, and listening to these opinions allows Xu Yi to make the most appropriate judgment on the improvement of the product.

Just turned a street corner, suddenly a figure staggered out of the alley next to him. Before he took two steps, his whole body suddenly became weak, and he fell directly to the side of the wall, and then leaned against the wall and slumped to the ground. at every turn.

Xu Yi was startled, and quickly walked over and squatted down to observe, but found that this very thin figure was indeed a girl. Judging from the appearance, she was still very young, probably in her twenties.

Judging by her closed eyes and weak breathing, she seemed to have passed out.

Xu Yi grabbed her shoulder and shook it a few times, but the girl didn't mean to wake up at all.

Looking at the front, back, left, and right streets, there were no other figures passing by. Xu Yi hesitated for a while, then shook his head helplessly, leaned over and picked up the girl, added a wind-fighting technique to himself, and approached the fallen outside the city. Star Manor flew at high speed. (To be continued..)
