At the end of the autumn harvest, Bangta City's total grain output statistics shocked everyone, because this figure actually reached a terrifying 760,000 tons!
Compared with last year’s autumn harvest of 570,000 tons, it actually increased by 190,000 tons!
Not to mention compared with the harvest of Bangta City in previous years, it is not inferior even to those cities in the Lampali Kingdom that are obviously much larger than Bangta City.
Because of this total grain output, Bangta City has really come to the limelight in the Lampali Kingdom. Combined with the two consecutive years of growth the year before last and last year, Bangta City has become the most important agricultural center of His Majesty the King and the Lampali Kingdom. It was the only city that was also named for commendation.
For the Lampali Kingdom, which was in turmoil due to famine more than ten years ago, food is almost the most important thing, and no one dares to ignore it.
As the city lord of Bangta City, Earl Stark was able to increase Bangta City's total grain output from an astonishing 570,000 tons last year to 760,000 tons, and was immediately praised by everyone.
Originally, Earl Stark's policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture caused the economic development of Bonta City to stagnate, which affected the prosperity of Bonta City. People who criticized Earl Stark, after learning about the total grain output, , immediately closed his mouth obediently.
As a result, Earl Stark's position as city lord, which seemed to be in danger before the autumn harvest, was instantly stabilized after the autumn harvest. His evaluation among the senior officials of the Lampali Kingdom also skyrocketed, as if it instantly overshadowed those in the Lampali Kingdom. All city lords in other cities.
However, Earl Stark, who has achieved such results, surprisingly does not have a high opinion among the people of Bangta City. When talking about it in private, many people even directly expressed disdain for it.
"Bah! When Earl Satsuma was carrying out the autumn harvest last year, he had already made statistics on all the farmland in Bangta City, and also asked us people to help with reference, and determined that even if all the places in Bangta City were planted with wheat, and all The harvest cannot exceed 700,000 tons at most. In the end, this Earl of Stark actually harvested 760,000 tons of wheat. If you say that he is not cheating, I don't believe it." Father Sakchi looked full of contempt. typical.
"There's no need to guess at all, okay?" Yasali, who is from the same Mexican village as Mr. Sakchi, rolled his eyes and said, "My wife has a relative in Yodel Village. He said to my wife , before the autumn harvest. The city government sent a group of people to recruit all the villagers in Yodel Village, saying that they would help open the canal and ensure that the autumn harvest of Yodel Village would be taken over by the city government. Don’t worry. When the autumn harvest is over, he will come back and ask, “Guess, how much wheat did they harvest in Yodel Village?”
"How much?" A group of people, including Father Sakchi, asked curiously.
"Eighty thousand tons!" Yasali gestured and replied loudly.
"How can it be!"
"Are you talking nonsense?"
"That's right, Yodel Village is only a little bigger, how can it be possible to harvest 80,000 tons of wheat? Our Kambia Village only harvested 60,000 tons!"
…
Hear this answer. Everyone immediately expressed strong doubts about the figure of 80,000 tons.
Everyone here was born and raised in Bangta City, and they have all worked in the farmland for more than a few decades. Naturally, they are very aware of the food output of each village in Bangta City.
Prior to this, the geographical location of Yodel Village was deviated and the terrain was not good. The village, which doesn't have much farmland, can only harvest about 30,000 tons of wheat at most, and it has to be a bumper harvest.
This year, it has directly increased to 80,000 tons. Anyone who looks at this knows that it is impossible.
"Hey, you don't know this, right? Let me tell you, my wife's relative went to his original field after he went back and found that the amount of wheat straw left after harvesting in the field had doubled. It looked like It seems like they do grow so much food in their fields. And you didn’t read what was said in the Bangta Daily. The city lord’s palace announced that they would promote a kind of food in Bangta City for this autumn harvest. The new wheat seeds obtained by the Principality of Drak have a much higher yield than what we used before, so the final harvest of wheat will be so much more than before," Yasari said with a smile.
"Nonsense." Father Sakchi immediately scolded him: "If there are such good wheat seeds, why would the Duke of Drake give them to Earl Stark? They won't keep the seeds for themselves."
Yasari shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe our city lord gave the Duke of Drak some special benefits, so much so that they were even willing to take out such good wheat seeds."
"Bullshit!" Father Sakchi said angrily. "Didn't the princess and ministers from the Principality of Drake come here some time ago? They obviously stayed in the Falling Rain Valley every day and chatted animatedly with President Xu. My son saw it with his own eyes. How could it be possible? What kind of cooperation does it have with Earl Stark?"
"Then who knows. How can ordinary people like us know what is going on between these big shots?" Yasali said nonchalantly: "Besides, it's a good thing that Bangta City's food production is high. It will give you face when talking about it in the future. "
"Are you an idiot?" Father Sakchi scolded him unceremoniously: "You still don't understand what this means? Now that Bonta City's food production has increased, this Earl Stark is the city lord. Sit more firmly. If he continues to implement policies to suppress business and promote agriculture, then we will all lose our jobs. Do you want to work hard every day like before?"
Hearing what Father Sakchi said, Yasari and the people around him were stunned. Then they thought about it and found that what Father Sakchi said was very reasonable.
The reason why they didn't like to see this new city lord before was because he implemented a policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture as soon as he came, which put all the chambers of commerce in Bangta City in danger and caused many people to lose. An extremely comfortable and well-paying job.
But now that Earl Stark has further secured his position as the city lord because of the weird total food output that Bonta City has exploded in this autumn harvest, then I am afraid that the major chambers of commerce in Bonta City will only be even more sad.
Maybe, their current jobs at the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will be in doubt.
Just at this moment, Cantona, who everyone had been waiting for for a while, walked in.
As soon as they saw him, everyone asked their worried questions.
Cantona smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, everyone, although our Cantona Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce in name, what we do is farming, and it does not conflict with the city lord's policy. The city lord even specially met with him last time I encourage our chamber of commerce to do a good job and continue to help farmers in Bangta City plan and cultivate their farmland.”
"Really? Doesn't he know about your relationship with President Xu?" Asari asked.
"So what if you know? For big men like them, the most important thing is to bring them what they need." Cantona smiled.
Father Sacchi frowned and looked at Cantona: "I said, Cantona, maybe this guy gave you some verbal praise. You just want to turn around and praise his bad feet, right?" "
Cantona laughed: "Father Sacchi, you underestimate me too much. Although the Lord of the City praised our Chamber of Commerce, it actually did not benefit our Chamber of Commerce at all. On the contrary, he also said that the influence of the fruit canned factory It’s so bad that the entire village of Koror only grows fruits, but not wheat. If all the villages of Koror grow wheat, then the total grain output of Bangta City can exceed 800,000 tons.”
"Ah?" After hearing this, everyone stood up. "By the way, does he plan to close the canned fruit factory?"
Cantona sighed helplessly and said: "He didn't dare to directly force the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to close the fruit canning factory, but he asked our chamber of commerce to help the villagers of Koror Village to shovel all the canned fruits after the autumn harvest. Fruit trees. Plant food in all fields.”
"How dare he!" Several villagers from Koror Village jumped up instantly and roared angrily: "The fruit trees we worked so hard to plant have only been bearing fruit for two years. Why does he say shoveling Just give it to us?"
"That's right. Finally, we have the fruit canning factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to purchase all the fruits. I plan to plant more fruit trees tomorrow."
"Damn, I've earned more than three hundred gold coins this year from these two acres of fruit trees. How much can I earn from growing wheat? Thirty gold coins? If he plows down all these fruit trees, will he give me the money? "
"That's not all. My wife and daughter are now working in the fruit canned factory. Their monthly salary is close to thirty gold coins. If all the fruit trees here are shoveled, what will the fruit canned factory do? Open? Aren’t my wife and daughters going to lose their jobs?”
"Why doesn't this idiot City Lord die? Our family can now earn dozens of gold coins a month from this. Seeing that canned fruits are selling so well and we will earn more in the future, he directly told us to stop. This simply doesn’t want us to have a good life!”
"Damn it, if I can't survive anymore, I'll go find this damn city lord and fight for my life!"
…
If when we were talking about the total grain output of this autumn harvest, everyone was chatting with suspicion and ridicule, then now they suddenly heard about this matter that was related to their own vital interests, everyone's emotions were instantly changed. Get excited.
Of course, it obviously depends on the income from the fruit canning factory and orchards. The villagers of Koror Village have experienced a qualitative leap in their income, but now they have to be abolished by the city lord's order, forcing them to return to their previous hard life of renting land. No one else would be able to bear it. .
A group of people cursed loudly, but they couldn't come up with any good solutions.
In the final analysis, they are just a group of ordinary farmers with little power. At most they can only curse the superior city lord, but how can they really have a way to deal with it.
Only Father Sacchi was still calm. After frowning and thinking for a while, he noticed that there was still a smile on the corner of Cantona's mouth. He moved in his heart and asked: "Cantona, this idiot city lord is doing this." , is clearly forcing the fruit canned factory to close down, what is Chairman Xu’s reaction to this?”
Cantona nodded appreciatively to Father Sakchi, and seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, he smiled and said: "Of course President Xu has made arrangements. I called you here this time just to ask you questions. What do you think of this arrangement?”
"Just tell me, President Xu's arrangement must be good."
"That's right, following President Xu will make life better, but following this idiot City Lord will only lead to death."
"Well, Cantona, tell me, we will do whatever President Xu arranges."
…
"For other things, just listen to President Xu's arrangements, but this time, I think you should really think about it seriously." Cantona said: "Because President Xu's arrangement is to let everyone farm in a different place. "
"Change a place to farm? Where?" Everyone asked in confusion.
Cantona smiled, thinking that when he first heard Xu Yi's plan, he was extremely shocked. Presumably these people would be much more surprised than himself after hearing this.
"This place... is the Principality of Standing."
