Chapter 10 Agricultural Industry Upgrading

While Xu Yi was busy with matters related to the Maro Empire and the upcoming large demand for household magic machinery due to the approaching midsummer, he was patiently waiting for the reply from the headquarters of the Magician's Union to his proposal.

But when he returned to the Principality of Standing for about half a month, he didn't wait for a reply from the headquarters of the Magician's Union, but he waited for someone's return first.

"Hey, Leslie, you've got a lot of tan again. It seems that the sunshine on the southern island is stronger than that of the Endless Sea?"

Xu Yi looked at Leslie with some amusement as his exposed skin all turned into an ancient brown. No one could see any signs of aristocratic fairness from him. After being the commander of the escort fleet, it is really gone forever on the road of the rough guy.

Leslie grinned, and because her skin had darkened a lot, her teeth looked whiter.

"The sunshine in that ghost place is indeed very strong, but thanks to this, I found that any crops there grow much faster than on the continent of Saines. According to the residents on the island, they can even harvest in a year Food three times, or even four times, so people on that island never worry about being hungry."

"Well, of course." Xu Yi nodded in understanding.

This is the obvious thing.

If it is to be divided by latitude, the Sainz continent is obviously located in the northern hemisphere of the planet, and the Principality of Standing is already considered a very low latitude place.

And that big island is hundreds of kilometers further south, so it should be infinitely close to the planet's equator, or even on the equator at all.

such a global environment. It is not uncommon for the island's crops to be harvested three or even four seasons a year.

"So Leslie, have you decided?" Xu Yi asked again. "Are you willing. Or can you control that island in your own hands?"

Leslie smiled and nodded: "Of course. I came back this time to discuss this matter with you. During this period, I took the fleet to that island three times, and had a good relationship with the residents on the island. With more contact, I have generally figured out the situation on that island. I think...it shouldn’t be a big problem to control that island, but it needs your support.”

Xu Yi shrugged: "Of course it's okay, because I was the one who encouraged you to go. Tell me, what kind of support do you need?"

"There are a lot of messy things that are needed, but the most important thing. Of course, it is a military magic machine." Leslie said seriously. "That island is not unoccupied. According to the information I have inquired, there is actually a so-called Antor royal family on the island who controls the entire island. If I want to control the island, obviously I have to fight with this The Royal Family of Antor must fight hard."

"Okay, no problem. If you still have any difficulties, feel free to come to me." Xu Yi nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Seeing that Xu Yi agreed so simply, Leslie fell silent instead.

After staring at Xu Yi for a while, he sighed softly, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Yi's shoulder lightly.

"Xu Yi, I know why you want me to control that island. Don't worry. When I really control that island, that island will always be the solid backing of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Xu Yi smiled. Shaking his head, he said, "I think...compared to considering these things, you should think more about how to use this to marry Miss Winiton. Speaking of which, you and Miss Winiton met again during this period ?"

Leslie suddenly smiled bitterly: "Her parents have a big prejudice against me. I think even if I really become the master of that island, I'm afraid I won't be recognized by her parents. So Xu Yi, help me one more time." Get busy."

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Well... I want to go and start a farm near her house."

"Huh?" Xu Yi looked at Leslie in surprise. "Are you crazy? Let's not talk about how your going to open a farm near her home will help her parents recognize you. How can you go to the Candela Empire to open this farm?"

"There is no need to worry. I have found some connections that can solve this problem, and I have actually bought a farm sold by a small noble near her home in my own name. The problem now is how to run this farm."

Xu also thought of the kinship relationship between Baron Billier and Prince Frank, and thought that the relationship Leslie was looking for might have something to do with it.

"Uh... I think if you just start an ordinary farm, I'm afraid it won't change his parents' perception of you."

"So my first goal is to turn this farm into the largest and best farm nearby. Xu Yi, you have to provide me with some farmland magic machinery first."

"That's fine, but what are you going to do?" Xu Yi looked at him suspiciously.

"I'll tell you when I make it," Leslie smiled.

Xu Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This guy actually wants to make a fool of himself.

But he knew very well that Leslie was not the kind of impulsive young man. Since he decided to do this, he must have a complete plan.

As a friend, he just needs to support him.

After the two had some more conversations about how to deal with some things on that island, Leslie left and went to the shipyard to oversee the refurbishment of the frigate.

As soon as Leslie left, another guest came to the door.

This guest is rare.

"President Xu, the preliminary data on the statistics of the agricultural development structure in the Principality that you requested has been released." Viscount Constantine, the parliamentary speaker of the Principality of Constantine, took out a thick document from his bag and handed it to Xu with both hands. as well as. "Please take a look."

"Yeah." Xu Yi nodded and took it, but he didn't look through it, put it aside casually, and said, "Tell me the conclusion first."

Although nominally speaking, Viscount Constantine, the Speaker of the Congress, should be the most powerful person in the Principality of Constantine, but no matter who knows in his heart, he was specially selected by Xu Yi to replace him to control the Congress of Constantine , and then control the entire Duchy of Standing.

If it is said that when Angru was still the speaker of the National Assembly, Xu Yi's control over the Principality of Standing was not obvious, and he did not intervene too much in many specific matters, then when Angru was trying to contact other noble lords in private, After overthrowing Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's control over the Principality of Standing, Xu Yi no longer hesitated, and very simply selected a candidate to take over the post of Speaker of the National Assembly, and began to nakedly intervene in various Principality specific affairs.

The current Xu Yi, apart from having no title in name, is actually the most powerful person in the entire Duchy of Standing.

No one has any objections to this, because those who have objections have been ruthlessly cleaned up by the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay." Viscount Constantine nodded, pondered for a while, and continued: "According to this preliminary statistical data, it can be shown that the current grain production in the Principality is fully sufficient to support the use of all the citizens of the Principality. Under the circumstances, even if there are continuous large-scale natural disasters in the Principality, it is enough to ensure that there will be no famine for at least three years."

"Very good. So, the people of the Principality finally don't need to worry about being hungry anymore?"

Viscount Constantine smiled slightly: "Actually, because of the rich products of the Principality, the people of the Principality don't need to worry about it. Of course, if it weren't for the arrival of President Xu and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the people of the Principality would not have to worry about it now. If you can’t enjoy such a complete food supply, even if you don’t starve to death, you will definitely not be able to have no worries like you are now.”

"Okay, don't flatter me. According to this, the agricultural industry upgrading plan formulated before should have sufficient conditions to be implemented?" Xu Yi asked.

"Yes. This is the preliminary plan I just completed yesterday, please have a look." Viscount Constantine took out another thick document and handed it to Xu Yi.

This time, after Xu Yi took it, he read it carefully.

The upgrading of the agricultural industry in the Principality of Constantine was discussed by Xu Yi with Viscount Constantine when he first took over the position of speaker last year.

The Principality of Standing was originally rich in products, and after the arrival of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it brought advanced farmland magic machinery and fertilizers that can also greatly increase crop yields, making the agricultural products in the Principality of Standing extremely developed, and there is no need to worry about eating and drinking. .

But just filling his stomach was far from enough in Xu Yi's opinion.

Compared with the earth, the most obvious difference is that most of the people in the least celestial dynasty on the earth can eat meat at will, but the people here can't.

Meat, for the Principality of Standing, or for the vast majority of people on the entire Sainz continent, is something that is difficult to access, because there are not many sources of meat other than hunting wild game by themselves.

The reason why people on the earth can eat meat at will is because the high productivity brought by industry can make it easy for people to feed livestock and provide meat for themselves.

But for the vast majority of people on the continent of Sainz, it is already extremely difficult to just feed themselves, and how can they have so much extra food and energy to feed livestock.

You know, on the current Sains Continent, even for many nobles, a cow that can be used for farming is an extremely valuable property.

Vivienne was almost whipped to death before because she lost a farm ox.

Apart from the most precious farm cattle, even the nobles have no extra resources to feed more livestock.

The emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce brought all kinds of novel magic machines.

In particular, the farmland magic machinery has solved the major problems of countless people, freed many people from heavy farming, and made the noble lords and commoners of nearby countries less dependent on cattle.

This change had an obvious impact, that is, the Lampari Kingdom abolished a law last year.

This law is related to the oxen. (To be continued..)
