Chapter 58 Want to Change the City Owner Again?

"Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I'm not that great, and I'm not as idle as you said." Xu Yi glanced at Hainas who was sitting across from him, shook his head and said, "This is just because A reason that was mentioned to you a long time ago is to liberate the agricultural population."

"And let them all invest in what you call the magic industry?" Hynas asked.

"Yes." Xu Yi nodded. "Don't you think that there are too few people in our Lampari Kingdom?"

"Too little?" Hynas narrowed his eyes. "Why don't I think so? Our Kingdom of Lampari is just a small kingdom, and there are millions of people. That's a lot. Do you think it's too few? Do you want the population of our Kingdom of Lampari and the Maruo Empire to remain the same? Is it the same as the Candela Empire?"

"That's not necessary, but it's not enough for my current requirements. Didn't you realize that even though 200,000 people poured in to Bangta City some time ago, it still seems a little insufficient?"

"But this is because there is almost too much work in Bangta City." Haines frowned. "And the reason why there are so many job opportunities in Bangta City is because the goods of your chambers of commerce are also sold to other cities in the kingdom, which is equivalent to feeding these 200,000 people with people from other parts of the kingdom. If you If you want the entire kingdom of Lampari to become like Bangta City, who will feed so many people?" "Of course it depends on other countries." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Don't say that there are only more than five million people in the Kingdom of Lampari. Even if there are more than 50 million people, they can easily support them. And I'm talking about supporting not just to survive, but to live a good life."

"Your idea is a bit too... naive, right?" Hynas shook his head. "Our Kingdom of Lampari is not very strong on the Sainz Continent. How can other countries be so stupid. They support us in vain?"

Xu Yi glanced at Haines and thought to him that it would be too troublesome to explain how much change the Industrial Revolution would bring to a country. Besides, he might not be able to understand it, so he gave up after thinking about it. idea.

Anyway, Haines came to Bangta City this time just to interview the newly-built fertilizer factory. He was secretly collecting specific information about fertilizers for the kingdom’s top executives, and discussing with him the profound impact these would have on the entire Lampari Kingdom. It's better to wait until the next time Sevigny comes to discuss the level of things.

Think Sevigny. Xu Yi moved in his heart and asked Hainas about the recent whereabouts of Her Royal Highness.

Since a visit with Major McConley last year. Sevigny hasn't come to Bonta City for a long time, which is really strange for Sevigny who came here two years ago. "Of course, Earl Stark will be the city lord here. Her Royal Highness will definitely not come. As for this time, when I left Anvilmar City, I heard that Her Royal Highness was preparing to leave for Sewell City. Inspection." Hainas raised his eyebrows suddenly and asked Xu Yi, "Hey, Xu Yi, does this have something to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Xu Yi laughed. "Am I still able to decide whether Her Royal Highness is whereabouts?"

"Dare you say it has nothing to do with you? I heard that Sewell City is preparing to develop an industrial area. Her Royal Highness is planning to inspect this industrial area. Besides, the current lord of Sewell City is the Earl of Summer, you dare to say The development of this industrial zone has nothing to do with you?"

"Why don't I dare to say it?" Xu Yi snorted softly. "To tell you the truth. Earl Summer is developing an industrial area in Sewell City, but he thought of it himself, and I didn't make any suggestions at all. Of course. We, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, do have plans to invest in Sewell City, but we must If it is implemented, at least it will have to wait until the second half of the year.”…

"Speaking of this, I remember that a few months ago, the Princess Caroline of the Duchy of Drake visited Bonta City. Sewell City is so close to the Duchy of Drake, and your new flight merchants plan to go to Sewell City. Investment. Shouldn't it have something to do with this Princess Caroline? Hey, Xu Yi. I heard that this Princess Caroline is very beautiful, are you confused by her?"

Seeing Hai Nas's **** smile, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing and crying.

This guy really has a keen sense of smell. He has never told him these things before, but he can make inferences so close to the facts from these clues. He really deserves to be a born journalist.

However, this matter is still a private agreement between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Principality of Drake, but it is inconvenient to disclose.

Moreover, the last contact with Princess Caroline was too embarrassing, and Xu Yi was unwilling to narrate more, so he just explained it vaguely and casually.

Naturally, Hainas didn't believe it, so he wanted to ask, but Xu Yi firmly refused.

Seeing Xu Yi's firm attitude, Haines had no choice but to turn the topic to the topic of this time - the fertilizer factory.

In the conversation just now, Xu Yi had already told Haines that after the use of chemical fertilizers on the farmland, the output could be increased by half or even nearly doubled, and this result was obtained on the 100,000 hectares of land in the Principality of Standing that was leased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. verify.

Haines was very shocked by this result, so he was very puzzled why Xu Yi chose to build such a fertilizer factory in Bangta City, and also cooperated with Earl Stark, who had always looked at Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. .

In his opinion, Xu Yi holds such a useful tool as fertilizer, and if he sets up a fertilizer factory in Luoyu Valley, he can easily make a lot of money.

The explanation given by Xu Yi is to make Bangta City free from the restrictions on agricultural development emphasized by Count Stark now, and also completely liberate the labor force confined to the farmland and put it into the development of the magic industry. .

Haines didn't quite understand this point, and Xu Yi didn't bother to explain it to him.

But of course Haynes couldn't just ask such a question, some more detailed data that he really needed to ask.

"Generally speaking, how much fertilizer is needed for one acre of farmland?" Haines took out a small notebook to record.

"It depends on what kind of crops it is, and what kind of fertilizer it is. It cannot be generalized." Xu Yi said. "For example, we plant rice on the farm in the Principality of Standing, and use the No. 1 chemical fertilizer currently produced. According to the experimental results, it is enough to sprinkle 25 to 30 kilograms on an acre of farmland on average. As for wheat, the fertilizer factory has already developed the No. 2 fertilizer specifically for wheat, and as for the specific amount to be spread, further experimental studies will be needed to make it clear."

"One mu of farmland is 25 to 30 kilograms, I calculate... From this point of view, hundreds of thousands of tons of fertilizer are needed to meet the needs of the entire Bangta City, right? This fertilizer factory is so small and its output is so small. Can you keep up?"

Xu Yi smiled and said: "You can rest assured. At present, the monthly output of this fertilizer factory is about 50,000 to 60,000 tons. Although it can't meet the needs of this spring ploughing in Bangta City, but when the autumn harvest, It should be no problem."

"But if the effect of using chemical fertilizers is good enough, then the entire kingdom will definitely have a great demand for this thing. I am afraid that just relying on your chemical fertilizer factory will not be enough, right?" Haines asked again.

"This is the future, I can't guarantee it now." Xu Yi said with a smile.

Seeing the meaningful smile on Xu Yi's face, Hainas sighed, thought for a while, and then asked, "Then about this fertilizer, I heard that it was developed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Elf Race. Can you be more specific?"…

"It was said that we cooperated... In fact, it was only us who provided ideas. In fact, the research and development of this fertilizer was all completed by the elves, and our New Flying Chamber of Commerce basically did not intervene." Xu Yi spread his hands . "So if you ask me how these fertilizers are made, I can't answer anything."

Hainas frowned: "Xu Yi, I'm afraid this is not a good idea. If this fertilizer is really as important as you said, but the most important formula and production process are in the hands of the elves, wouldn't it be very important to us? unfavorable?"

Xu Yi glanced at Hainas and smiled without saying a word.

Heiners immediately woke up, wiped the question off his notebook, and began to ask questions about other details about the fertilizer plant.

After the interview, Xu Yi originally planned to invite Haines to have lunch together, but Haines claimed that he would hurry up to interview Earl Stark and refused Xu Yi's invitation.

"By the way, Xu Yi, I have good news for you." Before leaving, Hainas winked at Xu Yi. "According to the gossip I have collected, His Majesty the King seems to have made up his mind. If nothing else, this Earl Stark may not be able to stay in the position of the city lord for long."

"Oh?" Xu Yi was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

In fact, although Earl Stark has been targeting Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce since he took over as the city lord of Bangta City, this actually promoted the change in the development direction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from another perspective.

Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been relocated to Xu Yi's private territory in the Falling Rain Valley, because the city of Bangta has basically lost the living soil of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi has shifted the development goals of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to other areas in advance. place to go.

Now that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has laid a foundation in the Black Rice Wasteland and the Principality of Standing, I have to say that there are some reasons for this.

Moreover, Earl Stark's attitude has obviously changed recently, and he has also begun to accept trading cooperation with Xu Yi.

Although replacing him as the city lord may reduce a lot of obstacles in the planning of Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, it actually has little impact on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And if a new city owner is exchanged in such a short period of time, the development of Bangta City will definitely be affected again.

Xu Yi's only hope is that this new city lord can think about the overall development of Bangta City like Earl Summers, not just his own position.
