Thanks to Sevini's special approval, Xu Yi didn't have to leave Luo Xing Manor early the next day to start working. ?. .
However, he still followed his usual biological clock and got up around six o'clock. Then, before Steele got up, he drove the surprised Vivian, Liz and Linda aside, and made one with his own hands. After breakfast, he personally brought it to Steele's bedside who woke up at almost eight o'clock.
"Xu Yi, usually people who have done something wrong will deliberately show such attentiveness. Have you done anything to feel sorry for me?" Steele looked at Xu Yi with a warm smile on his face and couldn't help laughing. He glanced at Liz and Linda who were following Xu Yi. "Did you finally go back on your word last night and meet Liz, Linda and the others while I was sleeping..."
"Eat well and don't talk nonsense." Xu Yi put the spoon directly into Steele's mouth and blocked her mouth.
Steele smiled slightly, and with Xu Yi's service, he slowly enjoyed this rare breakfast made and fed by Xu Yi himself.
While providing attentive service to Steele, Xu Yi discussed with Steele what he had considered last night.
Because of Steele's behavior last night, Xu Yi felt that she must have been bored at Falling Star Manor during this period, which is why she had so many strange thoughts that were completely inconsistent with her personality. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Xu Yi decided to agree to Steele's request to continue working that he had made long ago.
Although Xu Yi did not let Steele completely separate from work under Steele's tough attitude, he strictly controlled her workload. In fact, Steele still had almost nothing to do every day.
Now that he discovered that doing so would cause Steele to have random thoughts, and that it might not be good for Steele's body and mood, Xu Yi decided to relax this restriction and discuss with Steele how to allow her to participate more. While working, you can also get enough rest time.
Steele has clearly given this issue serious thought. So when Xu Yi proposed this idea, while she was happy, she discussed it with Xu Yi very rationally and seriously.
Both of them are smart people, and there is no conflict in this regard. Naturally, they had a very pleasant discussion and it didn't take long to decide.
According to the agreement between Xu Yi and Steele, she can return to her job after Steele is three months pregnant. Continue to be responsible for various matters of representing foreign races entering the Lampali Kingdom.
As the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce grows, the chambers of commerce in Bangta City and many other cities have gradually begun to accept hiring other races to work in the chambers of commerce. Now, according to Steele's statistics, among the different races employed by other chambers of commerce in Bonta City, except for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the number of orcs has surpassed that of the dwarves, becoming the largest number, currently exceeding a thousand.
The dwarves followed closely behind, about three hundred people, most of whom were employed as mechanical engineers.
Of course the least one is the elves. So far, there have been no more than twenty people.
Regarding the attitude of these heterogeneous workers, the majority of the Lampali Kingdom Council initially expressed opposition.
But now, the Kingdom's Parliament has begun to take a very positive attitude towards it. When it imposed various restrictions on these foreign races through the Crescent Chamber of Commerce founded by Steele, it also relaxed controls and began to allow foreign races to obtain labor certificates. They act normally like humans in the Lampali Kingdom.
"Speaking of which, most of the other races in the entire Lampali Kingdom have now joined various chambers of commerce, right?" Xu Yidao. "It can be said that they have initially integrated into our human society, but other countries on the continent are definitely different from our Lampali Kingdom. Have you ever considered recruiting some foreign races from other countries?"...
"Other countries?" Steele frowned slightly. "I'm afraid this won't get around people from those countries, right?"
"It doesn't matter, let the other races currently working in the Chamber of Commerce contact themselves, and we won't interfere. Look, Camby and the others also contacted a dwarf tribe in the Luersun Kingdom some time ago, saying that they planned to persuade the dwarf tribe as a whole Move to Bangta City, and then let me consider accepting them. Human countries generally will not care about the dwarf tribe's relocation, so we have to do it now, or wait until other countries realize these other things. I’m afraid it will be difficult to do this because of the value inherent in race.”
"Well... This worry is correct." Steele nodded. "At least I know it very well. If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce lacks dwarves now, I'm afraid most of the production will come to a standstill."
"So, dig as much as you can now. You know. Human resources are often much more important than any other resources."
While chatting with Steele about these things, they enjoyed breakfast together. By the time the breakfast was finished, the sun had already risen in the sky.
When Xu Yi arrived at Koror Village, he found that a group of people had been waiting here for a long time.
"Hey, President Xu, I heard that you stayed at home to accompany your wife, so you're late, right?" President Cruise laughed loudly when he saw Xu Yi arriving late.
There was a burst of good-natured but teasing laughter from the crowd, making Xu Yi couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then glared at Sevigny, who was surrounded by everyone.
Sevini raised his head slightly and gave Xu Yi a slightly proud smile. Then he glanced at the sky and announced: "Okay, since President Xu is here, I now announce that Bangta The groundbreaking ceremony for the new agricultural base in the city officially begins! ”
Under the leadership of Sevini, a group of business representatives, including Xu Yi, who appeared here symbolically shoveled the soil a few times, and then a bunch of engineering magic machinery that had been prepared by the Amuli Chamber of Commerce swarmed in. Go up and get busy on this field planned in advance.
As a demonstration site that represents the combined development of agriculture and commerce claimed by Sevigny, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Fruit Canning Factory in Koror Village has been the focus of inspection and promotion by Sevigny in the past few months as the city lord.
Later, through a joint agreement with several other major chambers of commerce in the city, Sevini, on behalf of the city government, decided to create a new agricultural development base around the village of Koror.
The purpose of this new agricultural development base is to further integrate agricultural development and commercial activities in Bangta City, like a fruit canning factory, to increase the commercial value of agricultural products and thereby increase the income of ordinary farmers.
This idea can be regarded as Sevigny’s discussion and experiment on the future development of Bonta City.
If you look at the entire Lampali Kingdom, it is a bit too far ahead of its time.
Because the current food production of the entire Lampali Kingdom has increased for two consecutive years. But overall there are still some shortcomings.
While other cities in the kingdom were struggling with how to solve the problem of food and clothing for their people, Bangta City began to consider how to change the agricultural structure and improve the income of farmers. The contrast was really huge.
Because of Bangta City's move, a debate broke out in the Kingdom Parliament.
Many members of parliament said that if Bangta City has such leisure, why not think about how to help other places in the kingdom develop agriculture first
For example, if the chemical fertilizers used in Bangta City are proven to be effective, why not seize the time to produce more of them
This is better than doing something unreliable. The so-called structural adjustment of the agricultural industry, which sounds weird, is much stronger, right
As for the other few council members, they said that since Bonta City is developing well now, Bonta City should be allowed to develop in its own way, instead of letting Bonta City be allowed to develop in its own way like before when Earl Stark was the city lord. The city immediately took a big step back.
Although the voices agreeing with Sevigny and Bonta City's approach are smaller, because Earl Stark's actions during his tenure as city lord had such a significant impact on Bonta City, no matter how loud the opposition is, they still don't have much confidence. .
What's more, His Majesty the King clearly stated his attitude, saying that since Bangta City is a special economic zone. Then it should keep its own special place.
As for whether the specific effect is good or not, it depends on the results.
The final result of the discussion was to give Bangta City a goal.
Want something special in Bangta City? Can.
But since you want to be special, you have to make some special achievements.
According to the final deliberations of the Kingdom Council, by the end of this year, the food and tax revenue paid by Bangta City must exceed the minimum 30% of last year. Otherwise, Bangta City’s special economic zone status will be cancelled.
"Hey, should I say that those distinguished members are ignorant, or is it because their stance determines their approach. As a result, they have even given up their IQ?" Xu Yi shook his head and made a merciless response to the resolution of the Kingdom Council. evaluation of. "Thirty percent? Humph! The results of this year's autumn harvest have come out. Don't they know that this is already more than half of last year's autumn harvest?"
"They don't care much about the grain harvest. The reason why they ask for this is just to limit my energy from investing in business development." Sevini shook his head and explained. "The focus is on tax revenue. They feel that if they can't achieve significantly better results than when Earl Stark was the city lord, then it doesn't mean anything."
"Is this an excuse for Earl Stark?" Xu Yi snorted coldly. "But they underestimate Bonta City too much, don't they? If it weren't for Earl Stark, Bonta City's tax revenue last year might have exceeded one million gold coins, and the part paid could even be worth the amount of the year before last. As for comparing this year with last year’s total? Haha..."
Sevini looked at Xu Yi with a sneer. But he didn't care much about it. Instead, he asked a little funny: "President Xu, who is so confident, how much tax do you think our Bangta City can pay this year?"
Xu Yi extended a slap. He said firmly: "The minimum is 500,000 gold coins. This does not include our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
Sevini showed a look of surprise: "Although I am confident that I can easily meet the requirements of the Kingdom Council, half a million gold coins... and that does not include your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Isn't that right? Does this mean that our annual tax revenue in Bonta City must exceed 1.5 million gold coins?”
Xu Yi smiled confidently, pointing to the new agricultural base that had just started construction and said: "Your Royal Highness, let's make a bet. Do you want to believe it? The Cantona Chamber of Commerce alone can turn over more than 20 yuan this year." A tax of ten thousand gold coins?”
Sevigny slowly shook his head: "Although I don't know the exact number, the total taxes paid by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce so far this year should not exceed one hundred thousand gold coins. There are only four months left before the end of the year, how can it exceed twenty thousand gold coins?" Where are the ten thousand gold coins?”
"You don't believe it, do you?" Xu Yi reached out to Sevini: "Then, dear city lord, let's make this bet?")
