Chapter 38 Comparison of the peasants of the two countries

In winter, the Duchy of Stantin will not be as cold as the Lampari Kingdom, but because the temperature has dropped a bit, it is no longer too hot and humid as usual, and it looks much cooler.

Every year at this time, because there is no need to worry about hurricanes and tsunamis, Svein Wilun always leaves his huge estate outside the city of Wilon and goes to another estate by the sea to spend a more leisurely and comfortable winter.

However, unlike previous years, on the second day after staying at the seaside manor, this year's Patriarch Weilun led a group of men and maids to travel about twenty kilometers northeast along the seashore to a vast plain as far as the eye can see.

Looking at the endless land in front of him, where figures could be seen everywhere manipulating the farmland magic machinery, Patriarch Weilun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The people from the Lampari Kingdom are much more industrious than the people from the Principality, and the more than 1,000 people hired by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Lampari Kingdom have been working from dawn almost every day since they came here more than half a month ago, and they did not go home until it was completely dark.

Under their hard work, it took only more than half a month for this land, which was originally just a wasteland and no one paid attention to at all, to be quickly reclaimed into a rough appearance, and it could be used for farming.

Every time he saw this situation, Patriarch Wei Lun couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

The 100,000 hectares of land left in his hands are just worthless wasteland, but after renting to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only has to give him a lease fee of 300,000 gold coins every year, but also promises to hand over 30% to him at the annual harvest meeting in the future.

He is equivalent to sitting here every year and doing nothing, and he can add 300,000 gold coins and 30% of the harvest of grain out of thin air.

According to the estimation of President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If the land is completely reclaimed. At least 100,000 tonnes of rice can be harvested every year. If it is 30%, it is a full 30,000 tons.

You know, last year, the grain he collected from all his territory was only a little more than 20,000 tons.

Every time he thought of this, Patriarch Weilun would constantly admire his shrewdness in his heart.

Thinking of the promise of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open a large 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 the transportation in the territory, the Weilun patriarch was even more excited.

Let those short-sighted fools in the south regret their deaths! Look at how far-sighted I, Svein Weilun, just work well with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In the future, my territory will far surpass that of the bastards in the South!

Patriarch Wei Lun smiled and swept his gaze over this land of busy scenes, but suddenly his forehead jumped, and a trace of anger flashed on his face.

As far as the eye can see, not everyone is busy on this land, and many people are obviously lazy, just pushing the farmland magic machinery in their hands to reclaim for a while.

Seeing the lazy appearance of these people, the Weilun patriarch snorted coldly, took a leather whip from the hands of the subordinates next to him, and strode to the person closest to him, without waiting for the person to react. He raised his hand and whipped the leather whip down hard.

The man was stunned for a moment, and a look of fear appeared on his face. But he didn't mean to dodge at all, just holding his head, squatting down, and waiting for the leather whip to fall.

"Smack-"

The leather whip fell fiercely on the man's back, and there was a crisp sound, and the clothes behind the man's back were directly torn, and a blood mark appeared on the back, which shows how hard the Weilun patriarch is working this time.

The crisp sound instantly attracted the attention of everyone around, and the peasants who came from all the way from Bangta City looked at the actions of the Weilun patriarch in a daze, their faces showed a trace of unbearability, but no one dared to say anything.

They are also ordinary commoners in the Lampari Kingdom, and they have seen a lot of nobles bullying commoners.

If it was in Bonta City, maybe they might still be able to rebel, but in the Duchy of Stantin, they don't have the idea of meddling.

"Pap-pa-pa-"

The leather whip fell to the ground and slapped on the man's back, and the Weilun patriarch kept scolding.

"Damn, dead! The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce rarely took a fancy to you and let you work here, it was your luck. How dare you be lazy with me! Believe it or not, I'll kill you?"

After a while, the man's back had already been pulled out of the Dao blood, and even a whip went down, already bringing up drops of flesh and blood, and the scene looked very miserable.

Seeing that the man's body squatting on the ground had softened a little, and it seemed that he was about to faint, a shout suddenly sounded in the distance.

"Stop!"

Patriarch Weilun turned his head and glared, who would dare to stop him from teaching this damn scumbag?

After a moment, the anger on his face instantly turned into a smile, and he threw away the leather whip in his hand and greeted him.

"President Cantona, early morning, are you busy urging them to do their work?"

Seeing the expression on Patriarch Weilun's face change instantly, Cantona blocked his throat with a breath, but he couldn't let it out, paused, swallowed it back hard, and reluctantly showed a smile to Patriarch Weilun.

"Ah, I'm busy. Patriarch Wiron, you ......" Cantona gestured to the man on the ground who was still twitching.

"Oh, nothing. I just saw a guy who was lazy and didn't work, and I taught him a lesson. Patriarch Wei Lun replied with a smile as he kicked the man on the ground hard. "This dead bitch, I finally found him such a good job for him to do, but he didn't do it well, do you think he deserves to die?"

Cantona's face twitched, and he thought to himself that a nobleman like you who only knows how to insult the commoners of his territory at will is a damn.

But after all, this is the other party's territory, Cantona still tried to hold back the anger in his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "This...... Patriarch Weilun, it's true that he's lazy, but you shouldn't just beat him like this, right?

"What are you worried about?" Patriarch Wei Lun pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "This kind of dead scumbag, it's not a pity to be killed. If you're worried about fewer people to work. That's simple. I'll just catch a few more people for you. ”

The corner of Cantona's eye jerked. I almost couldn't help but curse with a swear word.

Fortunately, since he established the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, he can be regarded as well-informed, and has experienced many scenes, and the city government is much deeper than before, so he still endured it after all.

"Patriarch Weilun, you can't say that. After all, he is now nominally hired by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce assist in the development of 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, what to do with it should be decided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Cantona knew that if he moved his own Cantona Chamber of Commerce out, it would definitely not be taken seriously by the Patriarch of Weilun, so he deliberately emphasized that these workers hired from the Principality of Stantin actually belonged to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in name.

Sure enough, after listening to Cantona's words, Patriarch Weilun frowned and thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, since this group of cheap breeds has been handed over to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." It is up to President Xu to decide what to do with them. I really shouldn't have interfered. But President Cantona, you tell President Xu for me, just say that he can dispose of these at will, even if he kills them all, it will be no problem at all, let him let him deal with it, and don't have to worry about anything. ”

Cantona didn't bother to be angry with him anymore, nodded his head as a response, and then immediately summoned two men to carry down the unlucky guy on the ground who had stopped convulsing and had obviously fainted for treatment.

After the other idlers and others retreated, the anger on Patriarch Weilun's face faded, and he smiled and pointed to the land in front of him that was being reclaimed and asked Cantona: "President Cantona, at this rate, when will this land be completed?"

"Well...... If nothing else, I think it will take less than a month to almost completely reclaim it. Cantona replied after a moment's thought. "If we move faster, we should be able to start planting at the beginning of next year. According to the climate of your Duchy of Stantin, you should be able to harvest the first grain when you start spring next year. ”

"Yes, yes. Patriarch Wei Lun nodded repeatedly. "President Cantona, you can rest assured. Our Duchy of Stantin may not be as good as your Lampari Kingdom, but this kind of land is much stronger than your Lampari Kingdom. I'm not kidding, the 100,000 hectares of land I rented to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time are all good farmland, as long as you get it right, sow the seeds in it, and then don't worry about anything, you will grow food yourself in a few months, believe it or not?"

Cantona glanced at the Patriarch of Weilun, and wanted to say that since the land of your Duchy of Stantin is so suitable for growing food, why do you waste so much fertile land here?

However, thinking of the guy who was forced to faint with a leather whip by the Patriarch of Weilun just now, Cantona's question was also choked back to his heart.

In fact, after seeing that guy being taught a lesson by the Patriarch of Weilun, Cantona felt a little bit happy, although he was more unbearable in his heart.

Before coming to the Duchy of Statein, when Xu Yi talked to Cantona about the situation of the Duchy of Statein, he reminded Cantona that the people of the Duchy of Statein were surprisingly lazy, so when cultivating the 100,000 hectares of land, try not to trust the 5,000 locals hired from the Duchy of Statein, and hand over the main work to the farmers brought from the city of Bonta.

At first, Cantona thought that Xu Yi must be exaggerating, because in any case, a full 5,000 people had been recruited from the local area, which was much more than the people they had brought from Bonta City, and the main force to reclaim the land should be these local talents of the Duchy of Stantin.

However, when Cantona actually came to the Duchy of Statein, he found that Xu Yi's description of the native peasants of the Duchy of Statein was much more slight.

In fact, the local peasants sent by these Weilun patriarchs were even more lazy than Cantona could have imagined.

Farmers from Bonta City start their work at dawn and don't finish until dark, with less than two hours of rest in between.

But these workers in the Duchy of Stantin, however, had to wait until the sun rose in mid-air, and as soon as the sun approached the horizon, they were clamoring to call it a day.

And when I was working, I was also all kinds of cheating and cheating, and I found all kinds of reasons to be lazy.

Cantona made a rough calculation and found that in the same day's workday, a farmer from the city of Bonta could manipulate the magic machinery of the farmland to reclaim five to seven acres of land, but the local farmers in the principality of Stantin could only reclaim one acre at most.

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, and this reason cannot be regarded as the main reason.

So in summary, these native workers of the Duchy of Stantin are too lazy...... (To be continued......)
