Chapter 61: The New Governor
Even a wizard can't let a ship with a broken mainmast go to sea, Captain Kerut was convinced. However, Jiang Feng didn't take his suspicious eyes to heart, and after offering him a salary of 100 UBS per month and double the subsidy for going to sea, he sent him to Du Wei.
Jiang Feng doesn't need a boat in the short term, but this kind of "technical" talent among the aborigines can be raised first.
The next day, Jiang Feng got up early as usual, washed up with the basin and towels sent by the servant, and then went to the dining room of the Governor's Palace. When he arrived at the restaurant, Connie, the sheriff, was also dining.
After seeing Jiang Feng, that Connie put down the tableware in his hand and enthusiastically got up to say good morning to him. At this time, Jiang Feng noticed that there was a tall-looking middle-aged man standing next to him.
After saying good morning to Connie, Jiang Feng looked at the strange man.
"Who is this?"
Connie was about to speak, but was preempted.
"Greetings Noble Wizard, despicable Kafka, the new Governor of Port Sevit. I would like to offer you my most sincere greetings, and may a good mood accompany you......" The governor named Kafka, with his right hand pressed on his chest, bowed to Jiang Feng at a standard ninety degrees.
It turned out to be the new governor.
Because the nobles are dead, they have no choice but to be promoted from the commoners?
It's just that this way of greeting good morning is inevitably too exaggerated......
Jiang Feng nodded and said good morning briefly.
There are bloody ribs and bread smeared with thick butter on the food truck, and the living habits of people in other worlds are really not flattering. Not wanting to eat such a greasy thing early in the morning, Jiang Feng took a bowl of something like oatmeal, and after simply finishing breakfast, he took a carriage to the plantation.
Genetically modified "Federal" crops are far superior to other world-specific native crops such as Nongba, both in terms of nutrition and yield. Silverbeard, who is breeding on the side of the Samun tribe, should have almost completed the task he assigned.
As long as the basics of planting are simply taught to farmers who have experience in planting, it should not be difficult to introduce federal crops. Now what he needs to do is to look at the soil quality of the plantation and see how to allocate the planting area reasonably to maximize the efficiency.
As for the origin of those crops......
Why did he waste his time explaining the wizarding things to the natives?
……
After hearing that the wizard had taken in the refugees from Baanville and placed them in a shack on the plantation, Greven, the head of the Golden Lizard Chamber of Commerce on the Port of Sevit, immediately couldn't sit still.
Although the economy of Port Savit is sluggish, the annual income of the oil refining business to the Golden Lizard Chamber of Commerce is at least 700,000 UBS. If Jiang Feng reclaims the plantation land, the Golden Lizard Chamber of Commerce's oil mill in Port Sevit will also have to shut down.
This will bring millions of economic losses to the Golden Lizard Chamber of Commerce.
The shrewd businessman first sought out his fellow countryman, Du Wei, to try to find out something from him. However, it is a pity that Du Wei's mouth was unexpectedly strict, and no matter how he tried, he didn't find out any news.
In desperation, he had to plead with Du Wei to introduce himself to the wizard, and went to the governor's palace early in the morning.
When he arrived at the Governor's Palace, he was told by the people there that the wizard had gone out early in the morning. When he asked Jiang Feng where he was going, he didn't care about the bumps in the road, and immediately ordered the groom who was driving the car to rush to the plantation.
As he hurried to the plantation, he saw the strange wizard standing in the field, gesturing at the ground with strange alchemy props.
Ignoring the bones that were about to fall apart and the mud on the ground, Grevine hurriedly stepped forward.
"You're Grevine?" Glancing at the man who was dressed well and came by himself, Jiang Feng asked casually.
Graven replied cautiously.
"Exactly."
Jiang Feng had heard Du Wei talk about this person before, and it seemed that he was the person in charge of the Golden Lizard Chamber of Commerce in Port Saidit. I found myself at this time, mostly for the plantation, which is nearly a thousand acres of land.
Sure enough, after only three words, Glevin carefully led the conversation to the question of rent.
"Venerable Wizard, I heard that you are not satisfied with the arrival of the rent, and we are willing to take the initiative to increase the ......"
"It has nothing to do with rent, there are other uses for these lands." Jiang Feng said briefly.
This sentence directly blocked all the words that Glaven had thought of on the road before in his throat, and even Jiang Feng, who was next to him, felt embarrassed when he looked at it.
"Any questions?" Jiang Feng asked.
"No, no." Glavine shook his head awkwardly.
If it was just an ordinary person standing opposite him, even a nobleman of the level of a baron, he would have 10,000 ways for him to hand over all the land in his hands. However, in the face of absolute strength, his methods were useless at all.
It's desperate.
It seems that the Golden Lizard Chamber of Commerce's financial path is destined to be broken.
It's just that Glevin still can't figure it out, you said that you are a wizard, just nest in the wizard's tower and pour witchcraft, what the hell are you doing when you run out and plant!
"I don't know what the wizard is going to plant...... "I couldn't bear it," Glavin asked painfully.
"Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, ......" After completing the soil inspection, Jiang Feng put away the instrument in his hand, looked at this Mr. Glavin, and did not avoid this question, "There are also coffee trees and sugar cane." ”
Stunned by these crops that he had never heard of, it took a while for Glavin to come back to his senses.
Just as he was about to say something, a farmer came running not far away.
Judging from what he was wearing, it should be a tenant who lived here all the year round, and Jiang Feng ordered them to keep an eye on those outsiders. Although the prestige of wizards is shrouded here, and those refugees should not dare to make trouble, but a place with a lot of people will always be full of all kinds of accidents.
"My lord, it's not good."
Leaving Glaven aside, Jiang Feng looked at the farmer and asked.
"What happened?"
After a long time of staggering and gesturing without explaining what had happened, the farmer finally pointed his finger to the row of shacks not far away.
Jiang Feng looked in the direction his finger was pointing and saw a circle of people there......
……
Not long after dawn, Yiran was woken up by the sound outside the shack. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she stood up, followed the line with a blank face, and received bread from the farmer who was leaning against the cart and playing hache, and did not know what to make of it.
After a night, she had somewhat guessed her current situation.
If nothing else, I should have crossed over.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the dress of these people, and the moon in the sky, which was obviously larger.
The thought of her companions who were still fighting in that world made her feel a tingling in her chest.
They should be very worried if they suddenly disappear, right?
"I'll definitely find a way home."
"Even if it becomes like this......"
Silently muttering in her heart, she bit down on the bread fiercely, and her immature face was full of stubbornness that did not belong to her age.
At that moment, it seemed that someone was approaching this direction.
Sensing the movement on the side, Yira raised her head alertly and looked at the three boys who were walking towards her.
He stopped in front of Ira, and the boy in the lead spoke.
"Hey, kid, you're not from Banville. I've lived in Banville for so long and I've never seen a guy with black hair. Tell me, where are you from? ”
What is he saying?
Hearing that someone seemed to be talking to her, Yi Ran put on an expression of not approaching anyone, and looked coldly at the three slightly older boys standing in front of her.
However, her expression was obviously not satisfactory to the three bear children, but to the great displeasure of the boy who took the lead in questioning.
"Hey, let me ask you, where are you from? Also, what about your parents? ”
"This guy can't be a mute." Seeing that Yi Ran still didn't react, the slightly chubby boy next to him muttered.
"Or maybe it's a spy sent by the Duchy of Wilton."
The discussion stopped abruptly, and the boys looked at Yi Ran's expression, and suddenly there was a little ill-will.
"Hey, can you hear us? Gremlin. Kicking a stone at Ira's heel, the boy at the head raised his chin and said, "If you're from Rick's Kingdom, give me a word." ”
"What do you mean by this look, are you provoking us?"
What do they want to do? Finding faults?
Staring at them coldly, Ira's right hand clenched into a fist.
Reason told her that it was better not to get into conflict with these people, but if trouble came to her door, she wouldn't shrink her eggs.
"Arrest her and send her to the soldiers. You grab her arm, and if she dares to resist, I'll punch her in the stomach. ”
The boys exchanged a few words, looked at Yiran with bad intentions, and tacitly surrounded her from three directions......
