In the winter, the Principality of Standing will not be as cold as the Kingdom of Lampali. On the contrary, because the temperature has dropped a bit, it is no longer as hot and humid as usual, and it looks much cooler.
At this season every year, because there is no need to worry about hurricanes and tsunamis, Swain Weilun always leaves his huge manor outside Weilun City and comes to another manor by the sea to spend a more leisurely and comfortable winter.
However, unlike previous years, on the second day after this year's Chief Wei Lun stayed at the seaside manor, he led a group of men and maids along the seaside and traveled about 20 kilometers northeast to an endless plain. .
Looking at the endless land in front of him, people can be seen everywhere busy controlling the magic machinery of the farmland. Chief Wei Lun couldn't help but feel emotional.
People from the Lampali Kingdom are much more diligent than those from the Principality. The more than a thousand people hired by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Lampali Kingdom have been working from the sky almost every day since they arrived here more than half a month ago. I start working as soon as it breaks out and don't finish working until it gets completely dark and go home.
Thanks to their hard work, this piece of land, which was originally just a wasteland and no one cared about it, was quickly reclaimed into a rough shape in just over half a month, and it was ready to be used. For farming.
Every time he saw this situation, Chief Wei Lun couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
The 100,000 hectares of land left in his hands was nothing more than worthless wasteland, but after leasing it to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only gave him a lease fee of 300,000 gold coins every year, but also promised to pay him every year in the future. Thirty percent of the harvest will be paid to him.
It's like sitting here and doing nothing every year, he can get an extra 300,000 gold coins and 30% of the harvest out of thin air.
According to the estimate of Chairman Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If this land is fully cultivated. At least one hundred thousand tons of rice can be harvested every year. If it were 30%, it would be a full 30,000 tons.
You know, last year, the food he collected from all his territories was only a little more than 20,000 tons.
Every time he thought about this, Chief Wei Lun would constantly admire his own shrewdness in his heart.
Thinking of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's promise to open a large-scale fruit canning factory and rubber processing factory here in the future, and also promised to build a large number of roads on this land to connect all transportation in the territory, Chief Wei Lun was even more elated. .
Let those short-sighted fools in the South regret it and die! Look at how far-sighted I, Swain Weilen, am, as long as I cooperate well with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. From now on, my territory will far exceed that of those bastards in the south!
Chief Wei Lun smiled and swept his eyes over this busy land, but suddenly a vein on his forehead jumped, and a trace of anger flashed on his face.
Within sight, not everyone is busy on this land, but many people are obviously lazy, just pushing the farmland magic machinery in their hands to cultivate.
Seeing the laziness of these people, Chief Wei Lun snorted coldly, took a whip from the hands of the men next to him, and strode to the person closest to him without waiting for that person to react. He raised his hand and whipped the whip down hard.
After the man was stunned for a moment, a look of fear appeared on his face. But he had no intention of evading, he just held his head, squatted down, and shivered, waiting for the whip to fall.
"Snapped-"
The whip fell hard on the man's back, and there was a crisp sound. The clothes on the man's back were directly torn, and a blood mark appeared on his back, which showed how hard the Wei Lun clan leader used this force.
The crisp sound instantly attracted the attention of everyone around. The farmers who came all the way from Bangta City stared blankly at the actions of Chief Wei Lun, with a trace of unbearable expression on their faces, but no one dared to say anything.
They are also ordinary civilians in the Lampali Kingdom, and they have seen many cases of nobles oppressing civilians.
If they were in Bangta City, they might still be able to resist, but in the Principality of Standing, they had no intention of meddling in other people's business.
"Pah-pah-pah-"
The whip was whipped down and down on the man's back, while Patriarch Wei Lun kept cursing.
"Damn, you damn bastards! It's rare that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has taken a fancy to you and let you work here. That's your good luck. You actually dare to be lazy for me! Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death? Huh?"
After a while, blood marks were drawn out from the man's back, and even when he was whipped, drops of flesh and blood were picked up. The scene looked very miserable.
Seeing that the man's body crouched on the ground had softened a little, and seemed about to faint, a shout suddenly sounded in the distance.
"stop!"
Chief Wei Lun turned around and glared, who dared to stop him from teaching this damn bitch a lesson
After a moment, the anger on his face turned into a smile, and he dropped the whip in his hand and faced him.
"Good morning, President Cantona. Are you still busy supervising their work?"
Seeing the instant change in the expression on Patriarch Weilun's face, Cantona felt a breath stuck in his throat, but he couldn't let it out. He paused, swallowed the breath hard, and reluctantly showed a smile to Patriarch Weilun. .
"Ah, I'm busy right now. Chief Wei Lun, what are you..." Cantona pointed to the man on the ground who was still twitching.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just saw a guy who was lazy and didn't work, so I taught him a lesson for you." Chief Wei Lun replied with a smile, and kicked the man on the ground hard. "This damn bitch, I finally found him such a good job, but he doesn't do it well. Do you think he deserves to die?"
The muscles on Cantona's face twitched, thinking that a noble like you who only knows how to insult the civilians in his territory should deserve to die.
But this is the opponent's territory after all. Cantona still tried his best to hold back the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Well... Chief Wei Lun, it is indeed his fault that he is lazy, but you shouldn't just treat him like this." How can he continue to work when he looks like this?"
"What are you worried about?" Chief Wei Lun curled his lips and said disdainfully: "It's no shame to beat this kind of bastard to death. If you're worried about having fewer people to work with, that's easy. I'll arrest a few more people for you. Just come.”
Cantona's eyes twitched. He almost couldn't help but cursed out a curse word.
Fortunately, since he established the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, he has become well-informed and has experienced many situations. The city is much deeper than before, and he finally endured it.
"Clan Leader Wei Lun, you can't say that. After all, he is nominally employed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce develop this leased land, so strictly speaking, he should be considered an employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. . Even if he is lazy and doesn’t work, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should decide what to do, don’t you think so?”
Cantona knew that if he moved his own Cantona Chamber of Commerce, it would definitely not be taken seriously by the Wilun clan leader, so he deliberately emphasized that these workers hired from the Principality of Standing were actually nominally Xinfei. Chamber of Commerce.
Sure enough, after listening to Cantona's words, Chief Wei Lun frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, since these bastards have been handed over to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. How to deal with them is up to Xu Hui It's up to the commander to decide. But President Cantona, tell President Xu that he can do whatever he wants. Even if they are all killed, there will be no problem at all. Yes, let him handle it without worrying about anything."
Cantona didn't bother to get angry with him anymore. He nodded in agreement, and then immediately called two people to carry the unlucky guy on the ground who had stopped twitching and was obviously unconscious for treatment.
After all the other people had retreated, the anger on Chief Wei Lun's face faded. He pointed to the land being cultivated in front of him with a smile and asked Cantona: "President Cantona, go on at this speed. , when will this land be ready?”
"Well...if nothing happens, I think it will take less than a month to almost completely reclaim it." Cantona thought for a while and replied. "If we move faster, we should be able to sow seeds at the beginning of next year. According to the climate of the Principality of Standing, we should be able to harvest the first batch of grain during the spring plowing next year."
"It must be possible, it must be possible." Chief Wei Lun nodded repeatedly. "President Cantona, don't worry. Our Principality of Standing may not be as good as your Kingdom of Lampali, but this kind of land is much better than your Kingdom of Lampali. I'm not kidding, this time I rent it to Xinfei The 100,000 hectares of land owned by the Chamber of Commerce are all good farmland. As long as you finish it, sow the seeds in it, and then don't worry about anything, food will grow on its own in a few months. Do you believe it?"
Cantona glanced at Chief Wei Lun and wanted to say that since the land in your Principality of Standing is so suitable for growing food, why are you wasting so much fertile land here
But thinking of the guy who was whipped unconscious by the leader of the Weilun clan just now, Cantona suppressed this question in his mind.
In fact, after seeing that guy being taught a lesson by the leader of the Wei Lun clan, Cantona felt a little bit happy even though he couldn't bear it.
Before coming to the Principality of Standing, Xu Yi reminded Cantona when he talked to Cantona about the situation in the Principality of Standing, telling him that the people in the Principality of Standing were surprisingly lazy, so they had to cultivate these 100,000 hectares of land. At that time, try not to trust the five thousand locals hired from the Principality of Standing, and leave the main work to the farmers brought from Bonta City.
At first, Cantona felt that Xu Yi's statement must be a bit exaggerated, because after all, they had recruited a full 5,000 people from the local area, which was much more than the people they brought from Bonta City. The main force for reclaiming the land should be These locals from the Principality of Standing are right.
But when Cantona actually came to the Principality of Standing, he found that Xu Yi's description of these local farmers in the Principality of Standing was still a lot lighter.
In fact, the local farmers sent over by the Welund patriarch were even more lazy than Cantona could have imagined.
The farmers from Bangta City start working at dawn every day and don't finish until dark, with only less than two hours of rest in between.
However, these workers in the Principality of Standing must wait until the sun rises in the sky before starting work. The sun just approaches the horizon and they are about to stop work.
And when working, he also cheats and cheats, finding various reasons to be lazy.
Cantona made a rough statistics and found that in the same day's work, a farmer from Bonta City could use the farmland magic machinery to cultivate five to seven acres of land, while the local farmers in the Principality of Standing could only cultivate five to seven acres of land. Only one acre can be cultivated.
Although there is a reason why the farmers from Bangta City are more accustomed to and good at using farmland magic machinery, they have been here for more than half a month, so this reason cannot be regarded as the main reason.
So in summary, these local workers in the Principality of Standing are really too lazy... (To be continued...)
