Chapter 38 The Comparison of the Farmers of the Two Countries

In the winter, the Principality of Standing will not be as cold as the Kingdom of Lampari. On the contrary, because the temperature has dropped a little, it is no longer as humid and hot as usual, and it looks a lot cooler.

Every year in this season, because there is no need to worry about hurricanes and tsunamis, Swain Weilun will always leave his huge manor outside Weilun City and come to another manor by the sea to spend a more leisurely and comfortable winter.

However, unlike previous years, this year's Patriarch Weilun took a group of subordinates and maids along the seashore for about 20 kilometers to the northeast on the second day he lived in the seaside manor, and came to an endless great plain. .

Seeing that people can be seen everywhere in the endless land in front of them, they are busy manipulating the farmland magic machinery, and Patriarch Wei Lun couldn't help feeling emotional.

The people who come from the Kingdom of Lampari are much more industrious than the people from the Principality. The more than 1,000 people hired by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Kingdom of Lampari have been here almost every day since they came here more than half a month ago. He started working at dawn and didn't go home until it was completely dark.

Thanks to their hard work, this piece of land was originally just a wasteland, and no one cared about it at all. In just over half a month, it was quickly reclaimed into a general appearance, which can be used at a glance. in farming.

Every time he saw this situation, Patriarch Wei Lun couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The 100,000 hectares of land left in his hands are just worthless wasteland, but after leasing it to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not only give him a rental fee of 300,000 gold coins every year, but also promise that every year in the future 30% of the harvest will be paid to him.

He is equivalent to sitting here every year and doing nothing, and he can add 300,000 gold coins and 30% of the harvested food out of thin air.

According to the estimates of President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If this land is fully reclaimed. At least 100,000 tons of rice can be harvested every year. 30% is 30,000 tons.

You know, last year, the grain he collected from all his territory was only a little over 20,000 tons.

Every time he thinks of this, Patriarch Wei Lun will constantly admire his shrewdness in his heart.

Thinking that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promised to open a large fruit canning factory and a rubber processing factory here in the future, and also promised to build a large number of roads on this land to connect all traffic in the territory, Patriarch Weilun was even more elated. .

Let those short-sighted idiots in the south regret their death! Look how far-sighted I am, Swain Weilun, as long as I cooperate well with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In the future, my territory will far exceed those bastards in the south!

Patriarch Wei Lun smiled and swept his eyes across the busy land, but suddenly a blue vein jumped on his forehead, and a trace of anger flashed on his face.

Within the range of sight, not everyone is busy on this land, but many people are obviously lazy, but they are just pushing the farmland magic machinery in their hands for reclamation.

Seeing the laziness of these people, Patriarch Wei Lun snorted coldly, took a leather whip from the hand next to him, and strode to the person closest to him without waiting for that person to react. Raising his hand, he yanked the whip fiercely.

After the man was stunned for a moment, a look of fear appeared on his face. But he didn't mean to dodge at all, he just held his head, squatted down, and waited for the whip to fall.

"Snapped--"

The whip landed on the man's back, and there was a crisp sound. The clothes on the man's back were ripped open, and a bloodstain appeared on his back. It could be seen that Patriarch Wei Lun was using a lot of force.

The crisp sound instantly attracted the attention of everyone around. The peasants who came from afar from Bangta City stared blankly at Patriarch Wei Lun's movements, showing a trace of reluctance on their faces, but no one dared to say anything.

They are also ordinary civilians in the Lampari Kingdom, and they have seen many cases of nobles oppressing civilians.

If it was in Bangta City, they might still be able to resist, but in the Principality of Standing, they had no intention of meddling.

"Clap-pop-pop-"

The whip whipped the man's back, and Patriarch Wei Lun kept scolding.

"Damn, you bastards! The New Flying Chamber of Commerce rarely sees you, and it is your luck that you come here to work. You dare to be lazy for me! Believe it or not, I will kill you? Huh?"

After a while, blood marks were drawn out from the back of the man, and even with a flogging, he had already brought blood and blood, and the scene looked very horrific.

Seeing that the man's body squatting on the ground has softened a little, and it seems that he is about to faint, and suddenly there is a shout in the distance.

"stop!"

Patriarch Wei Lun turned his head and glared, who dared to stop him to teach this damn bastard?

After a while, the anger on his face instantly turned into a smile, and he threw away the whip in his hand to meet him.

"President Cantona, good morning, are you still busy urging them to work?"

Seeing the expression on Patriarch Wei Lun's face changed instantly, Cantona's breath was blocked in his throat, but he couldn't let it out. After a pause, he swallowed the breath hard, and forced a smile to Patriarch Wei Lun. .

"Ah, I'm busy. Patriarch Weilun, you are..." Cantona pointed to the man who was still twitching on the ground.

"Oh, nothing. I just saw a guy who is lazy and doesn't work, and I will teach him a lesson for you." Patriarch Wei Lun replied with a smile, while kicking the man on the ground fiercely. "This bastard has finally found such a good job for him, but he doesn't do it well. Do you think he deserves to die?"

The muscles on Cantona's face twitched, thinking that a noble like you who only knows how to abuse civilians in the territory at will, deserve to die.

But this is on the other side's territory after all, Cantona still tried his best to hold back the anger in his heart, and reluctantly said with a smile: "This... Patriarch Wei Lun, it is indeed his fault that he is lazy, but you shouldn't just treat it like that. He's like this? You see, how can he continue to work?"

"What are you worried about?" Patriarch Wei Lun curled his lips and said disdainfully: "It's not a pity to kill such a bastard. If you are worried about few people working, that's easy. I'll arrest a few more people for you. Just come."

Cantona's eyes jumped. Almost couldn't help but cursed out a dirty word.

Fortunately, since he established the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, he has been well-informed and experienced many scenes.

"Patriarch Wei Lun, you can't say that. He is now nominally hired by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to help develop this leased land, so strictly speaking, he should be regarded as an employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Even if he is lazy and doesn't work, what to do with it should be decided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, are you right?"

Cantona knew that if he moved out his own Cantona Chamber of Commerce, it would definitely not be in the eyes of Patriarch Velen, so he deliberately emphasized that these workers hired from the Principality of Standing were actually nominally owned by Xinfei. Chamber of Commerce.

Sure enough, after hearing Cantona's words, Patriarch Wei Lun frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, since these bastards have been handed over to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. What to do with them is up to Xu Hui. It's up to you to decide. I really shouldn't intervene. But President Cantona, tell it to President Xu for me and say that these bastards are at his disposal. Even if he kills them all, there is no problem at all. Yes, let him let go and deal with it without worrying about anything."

Cantona didn't bother to be angry with him anymore, nodded as a response, and then immediately summoned two people to carry the unfortunate guy on the ground who had stopped convulsing, apparently fainted, down for medical treatment.

When the other idlers and others retreated, the hostility on Wei Lun's face faded, and he smiled and pointed to the land that was being reclaimed in front of him and asked Cantona, "President Cantona, keep going at this speed. , when will this land be ready?"

"Well... If there are no accidents, I think it will take less than a month to reclaim almost all of them." Cantona thought for a while and replied. "If you move faster, you should be able to start planting seeds at the beginning of next year. According to the climate of your Standing Principality, you should be able to harvest the first batch of grain in the spring next year."

"Definitely, definitely." Patriarch Wei Lun nodded again and again. "President Cantona, don't worry. Our Standin Principality may not be as good as your Lampari Kingdom, but this kind of land is much stronger than your Lampari Kingdom. I'm not kidding, this time I rent it to Xinfei. The 100,000 hectares of land owned by the Chamber of Commerce are all good farmland, as long as you get it done, put the seeds in it, and then you don’t have to worry about anything, you will grow food in a few months, do you believe it?”

Cantona glanced at Patriarch Wei Lun and wanted to say, since the land of your Standing Principality is so suitable for growing food, why are you putting so much fertile land to waste here?

But thinking of the guy who was stunned by Patriarch Wei Lun with a whip just now, Cantona's question came back to his mind.

In fact, after seeing that guy being taught a lesson by Patriarch Wei Lun, Cantona was more or less unbearable, but he was somewhat happy.

Before coming to the Principality of Standing, Xu Yi reminded Cantona when he talked to Cantona about the situation of the Principality of Standing, and told him that the people of the Principality of Standing were surprisingly lazy, so the people who reclaimed the 100,000 hectares of land At the time, try not to trust the 5,000 locals hired from the Principality of Standing, and hand over the main work to those farmers who were brought from Bangta City.

At first, Cantona thought that Xu Yi must be exaggerating, because after all, he recruited a full 5,000 people from the local area, which is much more than the people they brought from Bangta City. The main force for land reclamation should be These natives of the Principality of Standing are right.

But when Cantona actually came to the Principality of Standing, he found that Xu Yi's description of the native farmers in the Principality of Standing was much less.

In fact, the local farmers sent by the Weilun Patriarch were more lazy than Cantona imagined.

The farmers from Bangta City start working every day at dawn, and don't finish work until it gets dark, with only less than two hours of rest in between.

However, these workers in the Principality of Standing must wait until the sun rises in the sky before starting work, and the sun is just approaching the horizon, and they are making a fuss to stop work.

And at work, there are all kinds of cheating and slipping, looking for various reasons to be lazy.

Cantona made a rough statistic and found that during the same working day, a peasant from Bangta City could reclaim five to seven acres of land by manipulating the farmland magic machinery, but the local farmers in the Principality of Standing are at most. Only one acre can be reclaimed.

Although the farmers from Bangta City are more accustomed and good at using farmland magic machinery, they have been here for more than half a month, and this reason cannot be regarded as the main reason.

So to sum up, these local workers in the Principality of Standing are too lazy... (To be continued..)
