Chapter 59 Why Do You Have to Farm?

In April, the farmland outside the city of Bangta was once again dyed a brownish yellow by the dense straw.

The farmland renovated by the farmland renovation project has complete water conservancy facilities, and with the help of various farmland magic machines, the farmland in Bangta City will definitely be a harvest scene as long as it does not encounter any particularly serious natural disasters. , this year is no exception.

However, in the face of such a bumper harvest, the farmers outside the city of Bangta were not all joyful, but most of them were actually full of depression.

It took more than half an hour to make a special trip from the village of Luke, which is more than ten kilometers away, as soon as Batu entered the range of the village of Mexico and glanced at the surrounding farmland, he was shocked that he even forgot the pedals. Pedaling, he almost tilted his body and fell down with the bicycle.

With great difficulty, Bartle could barely hold on to his body, but Bartle couldn't care less about his precious bicycle that he was willing to buy two months ago for eight gold coins. He rushed directly into the wheat fields on both sides of the road, bent down, and held it up with trembling hands. Ears of wheat on a plant.

Feeling the heavy touch of the wheat ear in his hand, Bartle shivered twice, suddenly cursed in a low voice, turned around, grabbed the bicycle, flew over, pedaled hard, and rushed like a whirlwind. Entering the village of Mexico not far away. Seeing Bartle rushing over like a madman on a bicycle, the villagers in the Mexican village avoided one after another. They just shouted and scolded, but they saw that the person on the bicycle was Bartle, but the villagers pointed to Bartle and laughed out loud. up. The laughter was full of mockery.

Hearing the villagers' laughter, Bartle's face flushed red, no matter how much. He rode his bicycle straight to the front of a small two-story building at the end of the village in Mexico that seemed to have been newly built for a long time, jumped off the bicycle, and walked straight to the door.

"Hey, Sakci, die for me!"

Hearing Bartle's shout, Father Sakci frowned slightly and walked down the stairs on the second floor.

After seeing Bartlett. Father Sakci burst out laughing and pointed at Bartle. With a smug look on his face, he said, "What? Bartle, are you here to admit defeat?"

Bartle's already black face turned black at the moment. He rushed over and grabbed Father Sakeqi's collar, roaring loudly: "Sakeqi. You bastard! It's my fault for being you. It is an old friend for many years. You know that this fertilizer is so easy to use, but you don't persuade me! Now, our Luke Village's harvest this year may not even have half of your Mexican village. Are you happy now? Father Sakeqi frowned, squeezed Bartle's wrist to let him loose, and snorted coldly: "Bartle, for the sake of an old friend. I know you are angry now and don't care about you." But you have to be clear, when I told you that I have the fertilizer purchase index of Xinfei Fertilizer Factory. When I asked you if you wanted it in Luke Village, but you said that you don't worry about this ghost fertilizer, and you don't want it. Now But come to blame me for not persuading you? What? Can you blame me for this?"

Bartle's eyes widened and he glared at Father Sakechi, but Father Sakechi glared back without showing any weakness.

After a while, Bartle suddenly softened like a deflated ball, and sat on the chair next to him with a dejected expression. He beat his head hard with his fist.

"Why was I so stupid in the first place! Why didn't I believe that this fertilizer would actually work so well? I really want to kill the whole village! I'm so stupid!"

Seeing Bartle blaming himself so much, Father Sakci suddenly forgot how unreasonable he was just now. After thinking about it, he sat next to him, patted his shoulder and comforted: "Okay, it's just that the spring ploughing is missed, and the big deal is to make up for the autumn harvest. Anyway, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also said that their fertilizer factory's Although the output is too late to guarantee that all Bangta City can use it during the spring ploughing, it will definitely be fine during the autumn harvest. When that time comes, I will tell Cantona in advance and ask him to help you Luke Village first approve some fertilizers.”…

Bartle raised his head and looked at Father Sakci, still full of self-blame and pain.

"But the spring ploughing in our village is over like this. Do you know that those people in the village now know that I rejected the fertilizer purchase quota you gave to our village, and they are scolding me every day. Our family is old and young, now I can't wait to even go out the door!"

"Bah! A bunch of ignorant guys, what do you care about with them?" Father Sakeqi curled his lips in disdain. "Don't worry, believe it or not, when you go back and tell them, you have already won the priority for your village to buy fertilizers during the autumn harvest this time, so that they will immediately turn around and lick your ass?"

The muscles on Bartle's face twitched, and he wanted to say yes, but he was worried that he was a villager in his own village after all, so he couldn't be so straightforward, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"After all, my village's spring ploughing harvest is so much worse than your village's, it's just right to be scolded by them."

"Shit!" Papa Sakci cursed unceremoniously. "I said that the guys in your village are all dead brains? What age are they, and they only look at the grain in the fields? Just tell them, no matter how much grain you collect in the fields, it's useless! Even if you don't have to pay a little rent, and sell it all, how much money can you earn?"

"Can't you say that?" Bartle defended. "Look, our family has rented and planted more than seven acres of land. This year's spring harvest should be able to harvest more than two thousand catties of wheat. If you can sell it all, it can be sold for more than ten gold coins. If you use chemical fertilizers. , I might get more than 4,000 catties, which is almost 30 gold coins. I didn’t use chemical fertilizers, and as a result, I lost a dozen gold coins at once, can you not feel bad?”

"So, you are also dead brains. Is thirty gold coins a lot?" Father Sakeqi immediately sneered: "You didn't tell me last time that your boy found a job at the Cameron Chamber of Commerce. You can earn more than ten gold coins a month. As a result, you are still dying for more than ten gold coins, don’t you feel ashamed?”

"This..." Bartle looked a little embarrassed. "It's different. He earns what he earns. I can't be idle. Farming at home at a minimum can also ensure that our whole family can have food, right?"

"You still don't believe that you are dead brains?" Father Sakegi glared at him. "If you want to farm, wouldn't you go to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce? Or simply go to the Principality of Standing to farm for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You don't need to spend money on food and drink for a year, and you can earn another hundred gold coins. Is it much better to guard so many acres of fields here?"

"But I always feel unsafe... Those places, if something happens, Tian Ke will be gone..."

"Bullshit. If you want to say that it is not insured, is it insurable to rent the fields of the nobles? Maybe when a goddamn order comes down, the fields will be taken back. Besides, even if they are not taken back, they will be paid in a year. With such a high rent, the rest is barely enough to fill the stomach, what else can you do? For example, your boy is already at the age of marriage, can you help him get married by farming?" Papa Sakci asked.

Bartle smiled wryly: "That's impossible. My boy has a crush on a girl from another village, and as a result, they ask for a new house and a full set of Xinfei brand household magic machinery. How can I get so much money. My boy is now every day. Working hard at the Cameron Chamber of Commerce for the money."

"That's why I said that, if you keep planting so many fields here, there is no future at all. What are you still staring at these fields? Even if you sprinkle chemical fertilizers to make the grain output much higher, what's the point? Use? You don’t have a lot of money at all, why don’t you think of a way to do something else.”

"But besides farming...what else can I do?" Bartle asked with a bewildered expression. "Besides, it's not a good idea to leave this field here, you have to pay rent every year..."...

"Tian is simple, just leave it to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to plant. You don't have to worry about anything, and Cantona will pay the rent for you. In the end, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce can give you some money every year, no matter what. It’s more cost-effective than planting it yourself.” Father Sakeqi waved his hand and said, “As for what to do without farming... This is easier. Now that there are so many chambers of commerce in the city, you can find any chamber of commerce to learn some craftsmanship. , you can find a job. It is no problem to get close to ten gold coins in a month.”

"But... I'm so old, I can't learn how to do it..." Bartle asked worriedly.

"Why can't you learn it?" Father Sakegi glared. "Tell you, it's not as difficult as you think. I went to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to visit those factories in the Falling Rain Valley. In fact, the work in the hands of those workers is very simple, many are just repeating an action, only a few Workers need skills. Even if you can't learn those skills, you can do simple tasks, right? Even if you can't do these things, you still have the strength, right? Go to the Amley Chamber of Commerce's construction site and do some work. Physical work is fine. The Amley Chamber of Commerce has recently opened a commercial and residential complex project by the Sandy River. It is recruiting a lot of people. Why don't you try it?"

After being said by Father Sakeqi, Bartle's originally frustrated face gradually turned bright, and there was even a hint of hope and excitement in his eyes.

Sa Keqi is right, times are different now, and ordinary farmers like them don't have to guard their family's one-third of an acre of land to watch the sky and eat.

Whether it is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce or other chambers of commerce in Bangta City, there are a lot of job opportunities waiting for people to pick it up, and whether it is physical strength, time, and the most important income is more than farming. much stronger.

If that's the case, why continue farming?

Thinking of this, the atmosphere, self-blame, sadness, and even panic that Bartle had on the way he had just disappeared instantly disappeared, and the whole person seemed to be connected, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
