The two harvest seasons every year are the most important days for the Lampali Kingdom and Bangta City.
This year's spring plowing seems to be more important than in previous years. When the farmland on Viscount Leslie's territory was harvested, not only did it attract almost all the nobles who also own territories in Bonta City to come and watch, even the city lord was present in person. , also delivered a speech on the spot, praising the harvest in the territory of Viscount Leslie.
In addition, the most surprising group of onlookers were a group of ordinary farmers from various rural areas outside Bangta City.
Some of these ordinary farmers who were invited are farmers who have been here once before. Although they are still a little nervous when they come here, they are no longer as reserved as when they first came because they saw so many nobles. .
Others who came here for the first time focused their eyes on the farmland, with expressions full of admiration.
These farmers, who have been working in the farmland all their lives, have never seen such neat and uniform farmland before, which looks like a painting.
And when these farmlands were now covered with golden wheat ears, it became an even more beautiful pattern in their eyes.
The reason why so many people of all kinds gather here today can be traced back to last year’s autumn harvest.
Last year, at Xu Yi's suggestion, Viscount Leslie used the farmland magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to extensively transform all the farmland in his territory, and also re-cultivated the land that had previously been abandoned due to manpower problems.
After the autumn harvest, a large number of farmland magic machines kept operating in this territory, and finally completed what many people considered an extremely huge project in a short period of time.
And now. It is time to accept the results of this project.
Given that this farmland transformation project is considered a pilot project in Bangta City. It was also designated as a pilot project by His Majesty the King. As the lord of Bonta City, Count Sean Summer will of course be present.
In addition, Sevigny, who is the representative of the Department of Agriculture, will naturally be present.
The outcome of this farmland transformation project will directly determine the Department of Agriculture's next plan.
Judging from the facts seen before us, this result is undoubtedly very good.
Looking around, the vast expanse in front of me is extremely flat and perfectly divided into criss-crossing golden fields, with golden wheat ears as far as the eye can see.
Even people with no experience in farming can easily tell that there will be a bumper harvest in Viscount Leslie's territory this year.
When Earl Satsuma finished his speech, Viscount Leslie completed the sacrificial ceremony as the lord. Dozens of small magic harvesters lined up in a straight line, each selected a piece of farmland and drove in.
In less than half an hour, each small magic harvester had harvested an acre of wheat field.
Seeing that there was only a large golden wheat field just now, but now only short wheat stalks were left in the field, and the edges of the field were filled with cloth bags full of wheat grains, everyone onlookers could not help but let out a cry. Admire.
It should be said that this was not the first time for these people to witness the harvesting of small magic harvesters, but seeing such a spectacular harvesting scene again made everyone involuntarily marvel.
"President Xu, the harvesting speed this year seems to be much faster than last year." A nobleman pointed to the magic harvester heading towards the next farmland and said to Xu Yida.
"Well, our Chamber of Commerce has made some improvements to this batch of magic harvesters, making the rotating bucket rotate faster. The vibration frequency of the screening machine is also much faster, and the efficiency has been greatly improved." Xu Yi replied with a smile. "How about it? Viscount Samuel. You didn't buy it last year. Are you interested this year?"
Viscount Samuel laughed: "Okay, I will definitely buy a few this year! Not only this magic harvester, but also a magic excavator, a magic ripper, etc. In short, I will also buy the farmland on my territory. Give it a good makeover like Viscount Leslie. Seeing Viscount Leslie’s harvest this year, I’m really jealous.”
"Don't worry, Viscount Samuel, it's not too late for you to start now. As long as you start the renovation immediately after the spring harvest, relying on the magic machinery of our chamber of commerce, you can finish it all in less than half a month, and you will definitely have time to sow seeds. This way, you can wait until the autumn harvest. At that time, you can also see such a spectacular scene in your territory.”
"Okay, it's settled. President Xu, since you have promised me, don't tell me that it is out of stock." Viscount Samuel reminded me.
"Don't worry, our chamber of commerce's production efficiency has improved a lot now, and there will definitely be no shortage of goods."
Xu Yi also wanted to chat with Viscount Samuel, but when he was finalizing the deal, he caught a glimpse of Sevigny waving to him in the distance, so he apologized to Viscount Samuel and walked over.
"What? Miss Sevigny, after seeing this scene in front of you, do you have more confidence in the farmland magic machinery of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Well, that's true." Sevini smiled and nodded. "But President Xu, I want to remind you that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still has an unfinished order of 30,000 pieces of various farmland magic machines from our Department of Agriculture. I hope you can guarantee this order first."
Xu Yi looked back at Viscount Samuel and shrugged: "There is no way, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the chamber of commerce of Bangta City after all. We cannot not even do business in Bangta City."
"It's okay to agree to business in Bangta City, but it's best not to do business in other cities for the time being. This will also help our Agriculture Department comprehensively promote farmland magic machinery." Sevini said. "Chairman Xu, I think you should know very well that if our Agriculture Department really promotes the development of farmland magic machinery, it will also greatly promote the development of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so I hope you can give priority to completing the orders of our Agriculture Department. As for the others Can those magic machine tools stop temporarily?"
Xu Yi frowned: "Miss Sevigny, your request is a bit excessive. The contract we signed stipulates that all orders will be completed within two years. With our current production efficiency, I think it can be completed easily. You It’s okay to ask us to prioritize orders from the Department of Agriculture, but it’s really too much to ask me to stop the research and development and manufacturing of magic machine tools at the same time.”
Sevigny thought for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the large farmland where harvesting was taking place for a while. There was a moment of silence. Suddenly he sighed softly: "Okay, President Xu, I admit that I am impatient. Seeing the scene in front of me, I was a little excited. I always thought that if all the places in the Lampali Kingdom could change It would be great to be like this, so I’m really sorry for making excessive demands on you.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "No need to be sorry. I understand your thoughts and anxiety. After all, as the master of this country, of course I hope that this country can become stronger as soon as possible. Am I right? Your Highness?"
"Yes. I really hope..." Sevini was suddenly startled, turned to look at Xu Yi, opened his eyes slightly, and asked in surprise: "You... when did you know?"
"I know it didn't take long." Xu Yi replied with a smile. "Actually, I was very surprised from the first time I met you. Why is a girl with such a noble temperament like you just an ordinary official of the Department of Agriculture? And you are still so young. Later, after you came to Bangta City, I'm even more curious about why you, just an ordinary official of the Department of Agriculture, can always communicate directly with His Majesty the King, and even come to negotiate with me on behalf of His Majesty the King at certain times. Of course, at that time, I just doubted you. The identity should not be simple, but I never thought that you are actually the respected princess of our Lampali Kingdom."
Miss Sevigny. Or it could be that Princess Sevigny was just surprised for a moment, then immediately regained her composure and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, Viscount Leslie should have told you this? I clearly told him not to talk too much."
"Dear Your Royal Highness, this is not something that must be hidden?" Xu Yi couldn't help but said. "Although hiding your identity will make you safer, it actually won't help much with the work you are working on. If I had known that you were Her Royal Highness, the communication between us would have been easier and more direct."
"Directly? Do you mean asking me for territory more directly?" Sevini said bluntly.
Xu Yi chuckled and didn't answer.
The so-called princess is different from an ordinary princess.
The princess only means that she is the daughter of the king, while the princess, in addition to this identity, also means that she has the right to inherit the throne.
Yes, as the only daughter of His Majesty the King of Lampali Kingdom, Princess Sevigny and her two brothers also have the right to inherit the throne.
Even because of Princess Sevini's outstanding performance since she was a child, she has an excellent reputation in the Lampali Kingdom, which makes many people feel that she is actually more qualified to ascend the throne than the two princes.
If she hadn't been a girl after all, His Majesty the King would have designated her as the sole heir to the throne.
Therefore, compared to the princesses of some other small countries on the continent of Sainz, Princess Sevini has much greater power.
If Xu Yi had known that she was Her Royal Highness, it might have been possible to ask her for territory more directly.
"You still give up on the territory." Sevigny said firmly. "Unless there are special circumstances, the kingdom will never entrust new territories. As for giving you an ordinary businessman, it is even more impossible. Perhaps because of the contribution made by your new flying merchant association this time, the father will consider giving you a Noble status, but it will never give you territory.”
Xu Yi shrugged indifferently: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you have misunderstood me. What I am asking for is not territory, but a piece of land that allows me to do whatever I want. If our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs to develop, we need a large area. Land to build a factory. And now that His Majesty the King has agreed to lease a large piece of land to me, my request for the territory has actually been met. "
Sevini glanced at Xu Yi: "President Xu, I'm actually very curious. Is there any difference between leasing land from the royal family and leasing land from Viscount Leslie?"
"Of course there is a difference. At least the royal family will not take back this land if they are unhappy." Xu Yidao.
Sevini narrowed his eyes slightly, showed a meaningful smile and said: "President Xu, have you received any news?"
Xu Yi gave a wry smile, glanced at Viscount Leslie who was talking to Count Satsuma in the distance, and sighed: "Yes, there are some things that even Viscount Leslie cannot control. And I, a little businessman, It’s even more impossible to do anything about it.”
Sevigny also looked at Viscount Leslie in the distance, pondered for a moment, and sighed softly: "Viscount Leslie is a very good partner, but unfortunately, he is not strong enough." (To be continued. . )
