Chapter 86 New Agricultural Base
Due to Sevigny's special approval, Xu Yi didn't have to leave Falling Star Manor early in the morning to start work the next day. ? .
However, according to his usual biological clock, he got up at around six o'clock, and then before Steele got up, he drove the shocked Vivienne, Liz, and Linda aside, and made one with his own hands. Eat breakfast, and then serve it by the bed of Steele, who didn't wake up until almost eight o'clock.
"Xu Yi, it's usually people who have done bad things, so they deliberately behave so diligently. Did you do something that's sorry for me?" Steele looked at Xu Yi with a warm smile and couldn't help laughing. He glanced at Liz and Linda who were following Xu Yi. "Could it be that you finally regretted it again last night, while I was sleeping with Liz and Linda..."
"Eat well, don't talk nonsense." Xu Yi put the spoon directly into Steele's mouth, blocking her mouth.
Steele smiled slightly, and under Xu Yi's service, he slowly enjoyed this rare breakfast made and fed by Xu Yi himself.
While doing careful service for Steele, Xu Yi discussed with Steele what he thought about last night.
Because of Steele's actions last night, Xu Yi felt that she must have been idle and bored at Falling Star Manor during this period of time, which led to so many strange thoughts that were completely inconsistent with her personality. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, after careful consideration, Xu Yi decided to agree to Steele's request to continue working.
Although under Steele's tough attitude, Xu Yi did not let Steele leave work completely, but strictly controlled her workload, in fact, Steele still had almost nothing to do every day.
Now that he found that doing this would cause Steele to think wildly, and that it might not be good for Steele's body and mood, Xu Yi decided to relax the restriction and discussed with Steele how to make her more involved. While working, you can also get enough rest time.
Steele has apparently given serious thought to this, too. So when Xu Yi proposed this idea, she was very happy and at the same time had a serious discussion with Xu Yi very rationally.
Both of them are smart people, and there is no contradiction in this regard. Naturally, the discussion was very pleasant, and it didn't take long to decide.
According to Xu Yi and Steele's agreement, when Steele is three months pregnant, she can return to her job. Continue to be responsible for all kinds of matters concerning the entry of foreign races into the Kingdom of Lampari.
With the increasing influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Bangta City and many other cities' chambers of commerce have gradually begun to accept the employment of other races to work in the Chamber of Commerce. Now, according to Steele's statistics, in Bonta City, in addition to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the number of other races hired by other chambers of commerce has surpassed that of the dwarves, and the number of orcs has become the largest, currently more than a thousand people.
The dwarves followed, with about three hundred people, most of whom were employed as mechanical engineers.
The least is of course the elves. So far there have been no more than twenty.
For the attitude of these interracial workers, the Lampari Kingdom Council was initially mostly opposed to it.
But now, the Kingdom Council has begun to take a very positive attitude. When the Crescent Chamber of Commerce opened by Steele imposed various restrictions on these different races, it also relaxed the control and began to allow foreigners who obtained labor certificates. In the kingdom of Lampari, it functions as normal as humans.
"Speaking of which. Most of the other races in the entire Lampari Kingdom have already entered the various chambers of commerce to work, right?" Xu Yi said. "They can be said to have initially integrated into our human society, but other countries on the continent must be different from our Kingdom of Lampari. Have you considered recruiting some other races from other countries?"…
"Other countries?" Steele frowned slightly. "I'm afraid this can't get around the people in those countries?"
"It doesn't matter, let the other races currently working in the Chamber of Commerce contact themselves, we will not intervene. Look, Camby and the others also contacted a dwarf tribe in the Ruelson Kingdom some time ago, saying that they intend to convince the dwarf tribe as a whole. Relocate to Bangta City, and then let me consider accepting them. The dwarf tribes relocate themselves, and the human country generally does not care, so we must hurry up to do this now. Otherwise, other countries will realize these other countries later. The value contained in the race, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so.”
"Well... this worry is right." Steele nodded. "At least I know it well. If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is short of dwarves now. I'm afraid most of the production will be stagnant."
"So, dig as much as you can now. You know. Human resources are often more important than any other resource."
While chatting with Steele about these things, while enjoying breakfast together, when the breakfast was over, the sun had already risen in the air.
When Xu Yi arrived at Koror Village, he found that a group of people had been waiting here for a long time.
"Hey, President Xu, I heard that you stayed at home to accompany your wife, so you are late, aren't you?" President Cruise laughed loudly when he saw Xu Yi who was late.
There was a burst of goodwill but still mixed with scornful laughter from the crowd, which made Xu Yi smile awkwardly, and then glared at Sevigny who was surrounded by the crowd.
Sevigny raised his head slightly, gave Xu Yi a slightly smug smile, then glanced at the sky and announced: "Okay, since President Xu has also come, then I will now announce that Bonta The groundbreaking ceremony of the Chengxin Agricultural Base officially begins!"
Under the leadership of Sevigny, a group of business representatives, including Xu Yi, who appeared here symbolically shoveled the soil a few times, and then a bunch of engineering magic machines that the Amley Chamber of Commerce had prepared for a long time swarmed Get busy on this pre-planned field.
As a demonstration site representing the joint development of agriculture and commerce claimed by Sevigny, the fruit canning factory of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in Koror Village has been the focus of Sevigny's investigation and publicity since he was the city owner in the past few months.
Later, after a mutual agreement with several other major chambers of commerce in the city, Sevigny decided to create a new agricultural development base around Koror Village on behalf of the city's main mansion.
The role of this new agricultural development base is to further combine the agricultural development and commercial activities of Bangta City, like a fruit canning factory, to increase the commercial value of agricultural products, thereby increasing the income of ordinary farmers.
This idea can also be regarded as a discussion and experiment by Sevigny on the future development of Bonta City.
If it is placed in the entire Lampari Kingdom, it is a bit too advanced.
Because all the food production in the entire Kingdom of Lampari has been increasing for two consecutive years. But overall it's still a little lacking.
While other cities in the kingdom are struggling with how to solve the problem of food and clothing for their people, Bangta City has begun to consider how to change the agricultural structure and improve the income of farmers. The contrast is too great.
Because of this move by Bangta City, a controversy broke out in the Kingdom Council.
Many members of parliament said that if Bangta City has such leisure, why not think about how to help other parts of the kingdom develop agriculture first?
For example, in Bangta City, the chemical fertilizers that have been proved to be effective in practice, why not hurry up and produce more?
It's better than doing something unreliable. Sounds like a much more eccentric so-called agricultural industrial restructuring, right?
As for the other few members, they said that since Bonta City is developing well now, then Bonta City should be allowed to let go and develop in its own way, instead of letting Bonta City go ahead as when Count Stark was the city lord. The city came directly to a big setback.
Although the voices in favor of Sevigny and Bonta City were smaller, because the influence of Earl Stark's actions as the city lord on Bonta City was too significant, no matter how loud the opposition was, there was not much confidence.
What's more, His Majesty the King clearly stated his attitude, saying that Bangta City is a special economic zone. That should keep it in its own special place.
As for whether the specific effect is good or not, it depends on the result.
The final result of the discussion was to set a goal for Bangta City.
Bonta City Want something special? Can.
But since you want to be special, you have to do something special.
According to the final negotiation result of the Kingdom Council, by the end of this year, the food and tax revenue paid by Bangta City must exceed the minimum 30% of last year's. Otherwise, the special economic zone of Bangta City will be cancelled.
"Hey, should I say that those distinguished councilors are ignorant, or is it because their position determines their actions. Did they even give up their IQ?" Xu Yi shook his head, showing no mercy to the decision of the Kingdom Council. evaluation of. "Thirty percent? Humph! The results of this year's autumn harvest are all out. Don't they know that this is more than half of last year's autumn harvest?"
"They don't care much about the grain harvest. The reason why they ask for this is just to limit my focus on commercial development." Sevigny shook his head and explained. "The point is tax revenue. They don't think it makes any sense if they can't do significantly better than when Earl Stark was the lord."
"Does this excuse Earl Stark?" Xu Yi snorted coldly. "But they underestimate Bangta City too? If it wasn't for Earl Stark, the tax revenue of Bangta City last year would have exceeded 1 million gold coins, and the part turned in could even be worth the sum of the year before and the year before. The sum of the previous year. As for comparing this year with last year? Hehe..."
Sevigny looked at Xu Yi with a sneer. I didn't care much myself. Instead, he asked amusingly: "Then the confident President Xu, how much tax do you think our Bangta City will be able to pay this year?"
Xu Yi stretched out a slap. Affirmatively said: "minimum 500,000 gold coins. Not including our new flying chamber of commerce."
Sevigny showed a look of surprise: "Although I am confident that I can easily meet the requirements of the Kingdom Council, but half a million gold coins... and not including your new flying chamber of commerce, this is a bit too exaggerated? Isn't this how? Doesn't it mean that the annual tax revenue of our Bangta City must exceed 1.5 million gold coins?"
Xu Yi smiled confidently, pointed to the new agricultural base that had just started construction, and said, "Her Royal Highness, let's make a bet. Believe it or not, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce alone can turn over more than 20 yuan this year. The tax of ten thousand gold coins?"
Sevigny shook his head slowly: "Although I don't know the exact number, the total tax paid by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce so far this year should not exceed 100,000 gold coins. Now there are only four months left until the end of the year, how can it exceed 20? What about ten thousand gold coins?"
"Don't believe it?" Xu Yi stretched out his hand to Sevigny: "Then, dear Lord of the City, let's make this bet?")
