Chapter 69 Tax Relief

In mid-October, Qiuzhong's envoy was supposed to arrive, but there was no sign of Qiuzhong in Viscount Leslie's territory. Instead, there were endless rumblings everywhere.

Looking around, dozens of magic machines of various sizes and shapes are shuttled back and forth in the farmland, changing the appearance of the originally barren land.

This is the decision of Viscount Leslie.

After receiving a lot of support from Xu Yi, Viscount Leslie decided to reclaim all the land in his domain that could be used for planting, and make large-scale rectification according to Xu Yi's proposal.

Before that, because the farmland under the name of Viscount Leslie was all planted by hand, the planning of the farmland was very casual. Now, after deciding to fully reclaim the land, Xu Yi suggested that he re-plan and connect all the farmland as much as possible. They are then divided into completely equal squares, and at the same time, more spacious ditches are dug in each piece of farmland, which is convenient for changing rice and drought resistance in the future.

In addition, Xu Yi also suggested that Viscount Leslie push all the farmland into a large flat area of ​​the same height, which would be extremely convenient for mechanized operations in the future.

Seriously, Viscount Leslie didn't think about rectifying the land under his name before, but the manpower was really limited before. Even if he had this idea, he didn't have enough manpower to complete this matter.

With his more than 300 slaves and less than 100 guards under his name, he did his best to reclaim less than seven hectares of farmland every year.

With the help of various farmland magic machines developed by Xu Yi this year, this vision can finally become a reality.

First use a small magic ripper to shatter the higher ground skin, and then transport the crushed soil to the low-lying area to fill in.

After repeating this several times, the edge of the farmland under the name of Viscount Leslie has basically become a large and flat piece.

At this time, it was the turn of the newly developed small magic excavator developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

First, use a small magic ripper to loosen the soil in the painted area, and then use a small magic excavator to dig a little bit on the farmland according to the marks. After a while, a large pit with a width and depth of nearly half a meter can be dug.

As the small magic excavator kept retreating and the front-end mechanical arm bent and stretched, the deep pit extended all the way, and soon a long, deep straight ditch was drawn on the farmland.

"Very good. At this speed, it seems that it only takes one day to complete the transformation of this entire hectare of farmland." Today, not only Viscount Leslie and Xu Yi, but also Sean came to this farmland. ·The Earl of Summer also came to hear the news. Seeing the super-high working efficiency of the magic machines on the farmland, Count Summer couldn't help but praised. "If this is all done by hand, I'm afraid it may not be able to be completed in a week."

"Lord City Lord, I'm actually very dissatisfied with this speed." Xu Yi shook his head and said. "The power of the small magic excavator we designed is actually too low. According to my assumption, the real magic excavator does not need the help of the magic ripper at all, and can dig a ditch in the ground by itself. Even my ultimate goal is to use an excavator to directly dig up stones, which is far from what you see now. This small magic excavator can be compared."

"Oh? You can even dig rocks? Are you kidding me?" Count Summer said in surprise.

"No, of course this is not a joke. If it is not limited by the mechanical materials, we can arrange a more powerful magic circle on this magic machine as the power output. In that case, the efficiency of the magic excavator will be improved a lot. It's not surprising to finally reach the goal of digging stones." Xu Yi replied affirmatively.

This is of course not bragging. After studying with the great magician Camilla for a long time, Xu Yi now fully understands the power of advanced magic, and even the legendary forbidden spell is completely comparable to the nuclear bomb on the United States.

If such a comparison is made, as long as these magical powers can be correctly applied to the magical machinery, it is not a fantasy to make the magical machinery have the ability to be completely comparable to those of the construction machinery on the earth.

Unfortunately, due to the rough iron craftsmanship on the Sainz Continent, these magical machines cannot withstand excessive output, so Xu Yi can only temporarily put these ideas in his stomach.

"It's a good thing for young people to have lofty goals, but the bread has to be eaten one bite at a time. It's not enough to be anxious." Earl Summer smiled and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder to comfort him. "These magical machines you designed have surprised me. Before, I could never imagine that such a large-scale farmland renovation project could be completed in such a short period of time. No wonder that kid Leslie was so confident last time. He fully told me that he wanted to reclaim all the farmland under his name, and if I look at it now, I am afraid it is really hopeful."

Xu Yi suddenly smiled: "Lord City Lord, Lord Viscount is actually using the farmland under his own name to help me do experiments. Although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed so many magical machines, if it has not been verified by actual results, That doesn't work either."

"Well, this is the attitude of a responsible chamber of commerce. As for this kid Leslie... I think he wants you to do these experiments on his territory, you don't know the other nobles in the city. Are you jealous of him now?" Earl Summer said with a smile.

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing. He not only knew this, he had also experienced it countless times.

Knowing that Xu Yi would provide many newly developed magic machines to help Viscount Leslie complete the transformation of the farmland under his name, other nobles in Bangta City also made the same request to Xu Yi, but Xu Yi's current factory production capacity is limited, At present, it can only meet the needs of Viscount Leslie's family, and cannot agree to the requirements of other nobles.

And even if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can now produce so many farmland magic machines, Xu Yi would not dare to agree to any nobleman at will.

Viscount Leslie is okay to say, after all, Xu Yi started from him when he launched the magic air conditioner, the small magic harvester and the small magic ripper. Everyone else knows that the relationship between Viscount Leslie and Xu Yi is not good. Generally speaking, but as long as Xu Yi dares to agree to any other noble, he will surely offend all other nobles.

Xu is also not stupid, why do such a thankless thing.

Of course, while Xu Yi declined these nobles, he also made a guarantee to them that in the spring of next year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would produce enough magic machinery to meet the needs of all noble families.

Although there are still several months before the spring of next year, Xu Yi has already received high-value orders with a total value of nearly 10,000 gold coins.

This order is all for various farmland magic machinery, which can guarantee that the dwarves headed by Camby will be busy all winter.

However, this is also something that makes Xu Yi very worried.

The magic machine tool workshop is not just for the production of magic machines for farmland. In comparison, Xu also hopes that they can do their best to research magic machines.

Because for industrial development, the machine tool is the foundation of the foundation, and it is difficult for any machine to be separated from the machine tool.

If the machine tools are not developed enough, the development of the entire industry will be limited because of this, which is not what Xu Yi wants to see.

But Xu Yi has no way to refuse these orders, so he has been facing a painful choice all this time.

If you want to develop the magic industry, you must make as much money as possible, because researching the magic industry requires a lot of gold coins, and any research requires a lot of material and human input.

However, if you want to make more money, you will definitely shift your focus, so research in the magic industry will be delayed, which is really putting the cart before the horse.

"In the end, there are still too few talents." Xu Yi sighed in his heart, turned to Earl Samo and asked, "By the way, Lord City Lord, I wonder if you have any concerns about the matter that I asked for your help last time?"

Earl Summer was stunned, then woke up and frowned slightly: "You said it's about recruiting craftsmen for you? This... it's a bit difficult. Your requirements for craftsmen are too high, and you meet the requirements in our Bangta City. There are not many people who meet the requirements in other cities. Besides, these craftsmen who meet your requirements are definitely rare talents in their cities. They will not change places easily and go to our Bangta. It's from the city, so... I'm also in a dilemma."

Xu Yi sighed helplessly. In fact, he also knew very well that Earl Summer was right. If qualified craftsmen were recruited so easily, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

It seems that it is better to pin your hopes on the dwarves.

When I mentioned this to Camby last time, Camby said that he could find a way to help him contact dwarves from other tribes, and if possible, would help the New Flying Merchants Association to recruit more dwarf craftsmen.

"But Xu Yi, don't be too busy to be disappointed. I can't help you recruit craftsmen, but I can help you with other things." Earl Summer said suddenly.

"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at Count Summer with some surprise.

Earl Summer pointed to the magic machines that were working hard on the fields and said, "I have already reported these farmland magic machines invented by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Agriculture Department of the Kingdom, and also wrote a private letter to His Majesty the King, mentioning When it comes to these things. Both the Agriculture Department and His Majesty the King appreciate this, and finally decided to exempt some of the farmland magic machines produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the tax, and at the same time, they will also fully promote these farmland magic machines within the kingdom. If If there is no accident, His Majesty the King may soon summon you for this, so you'd better prepare yourself mentally."

Xu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Exempt from all taxes?

You must know that the business tax in the Kingdom of Lampari is very high. For a small business association like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the highest business tax may even exceed 40%!

According to the price of 70 gold coins for a small magic harvester, if the tax is exempted, it means that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can earn nearly 20 more gold coins!

This is equivalent to a large sum of money given to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce by His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department.

Of course, it should not be possible for the tax to be completely exempted, so I am afraid that it will immediately arouse the dissatisfaction of all the other chambers of commerce in the kingdom. His Majesty the King will not be so stupid.

But as long as part of it can be reduced or exempted, it will also bring great benefits to Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

More importantly, the latter sentence, His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department will promote these farmland magic machines to the kingdom!

This is equivalent to an official advertisement!

With the support and promotion of His Majesty the King and the Kingdom Agriculture Department, it means that the farmland magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be easily sold to every place in the Kingdom of Lampari.

At that time, just by selling these farmland magic machines, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is likely to become the first-class chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom!
