Xu Yi walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, looked up at the starry sky in the night sky, exhaled a long breath of white breath, a wry smile passed through the corner of his mouth, and shook his head slightly.

If only Count Satsuma were still the lord of Bunta, then he wouldn't have to do anything around the bush and think about all sorts of extraneous things like he is now.

Count Stark finally agreed to make this bet with him, and did initialed an agreement with him, but in fact, this bet did not do much good to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Because he wanted Count Stark to agree to the request, in fact, he hoped that Count Stark could fully implement the mechanized farming reform in Bonta City.

This matter is very beneficial to promote the agricultural development of Bangta City, and the benefit to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is probably that it can liberate the agricultural labor force through the reform of mechanized farming, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can more easily hire enough people.

But to be honest, with the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, whether it is the local residents of Bang Ta City, or the people of the Lampari Kingdom who come to Bang Ta City from other places to work, as long as they are looking for a job, the first choice is the Xin Fei Chamber of Commerce, and it is not too short of manpower.

The only thing to worry about is the manpower problem elsewhere.

Speaking of this, Xu Yi had to sigh that the population of the Lampari Kingdom, or the entire Sainz Continent, was too small.

The registered population of Bonta City, a small border town in the Lampari Kingdom, is only more than 50,000 people, while the Lampari Kingdom is less than 5 million according to statistics, which is not even as large as the population of a slightly larger city on the planet.

And the entire Sainz continent although there are no specific statistics. But judging by the situation recorded in various books. The demographic situation is slightly stronger than that of the Lampari Kingdom. But it's not much stronger, and the entire continent combined, which is about two or three hundred million people.

It is precisely because of this that Earl Stark is very sensitive to the fact that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will attract the farmers of Bonta City to the Duchy of Stantin, and has clearly expressed his opposition.

Because the total population of Bangta City is so much, if it is poached by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is really possible to have a serious impact on the agricultural production of Bangta City.

However, Xu also promised that he would only take away less than 2,000 peasant households, and analyzed it to Earl Stark with the actual number. In fact, now that Bangta City has the help of the Farmland Magic Machinery, it does not need too much manpower to participate in agricultural production as before, and Earl Stark reluctantly agrees with Xu Yi's judgment.

And the bet with Xu Yi is beneficial to Bonta City, and of course Earl Stark will readily agree.

What's more, Xu also guaranteed that even if he won the bet, he would provide 5,000 new farmland magic machines to Bangta City for free through the Guò Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to ensure the agricultural development of Bangta City.

Under such favorable conditions, even if Earl Stark was a little skeptical about why Xu Yi would do this, it was guaranteed in black and white. Count Stark finally agreed.

However, even so, when the two initialed the agreement. It was still after some heated debate that the first draft of the agreement was reluctantly finalized.

Thinking of the suspicious expression on Earl Stark's face just now, how could Xu Yi not smile bitterly.

In order for the magic industry to have a good environment and soil for development, he has taken great pains.

Shaking his head, he put aside his complaints about Earl Stark and the die-hard conservatives led by the Stark family, and Xu also began to sort out in his mind what needed to be done next.

After obtaining a guarantee from Count Stark that it would not obstruct the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from recruiting farmers from Bonta City, then the next move of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce should be to recruit all 2,000 farmers from Bonta City, and take them to the Duchy of Stantin to settle down, and then invest in the reclamation of the 100,000 hectares of land.

It's already the end of November, and if you don't hurry up, it is very likely that you won't be able to finish the planting before the spring ploughing, and if you lose a season's harvest, Xu Yi can't guarantee that she will definitely win the bet with Earl Stark.

Fortunately, the environment of the Duchy of Stantin is indeed blessed, and the geographical environment equivalent to the tropics ensures that it can still be cultivated in winter, and will not only enter a dormant period in winter like the Lampari Kingdom.

Moreover, according to the investigation, Xu also confirmed that it is possible to cultivate three crops a year in the Principality of Stanting.

For this alone, the food income is already much higher than that of the Lampari Kingdom.

And this is where Xu Yi's confidence in the bet with Earl Stark lies.

In addition to seizing the time to reclaim the 100,000 hectares of land, the three iron mines purchased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Stantin have also officially begun mining.

According to the reports of the dwarven craftsmen sent in the early stage, the iron ore of the three iron mines is actually a high-quality ore, which means that the iron content of these three iron mines is much higher than the results expected by the previous exploration.

Being able to buy these three mines from the Duchy of Stantin for a price of 1.35 million gold coins, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took a big advantage.

At the same time, through the Anclair connection, Xu also purchased a full seven magic crystal mines from several great nobles in the Duchy of Stantin.

Because the magic crystal mine can be found everywhere on the Sainz continent, and the amount used is very small, this thing is not very valued, and no one cares about it in the principality of Stantin, where magicians are scarce, so the new flying chamber of commerce wants to buy the magic crystal mine, which is completely unexpected for these nobles of the principality of stantin, so that in the end, the new flying chamber of commerce only spent a mere 500,000 gold coins to buy all the seven largest magic crystal mines in the principality of stantin.

Many people were puzzled by this transaction, but Xu Yi knew very well that it would not be long before the magic crystal would become an important resource that would be vigorously snatched by everyone, and the transaction he had completed now was a big profit.

Except for the affairs of the Duchy of Stantin, the next most important thing is the investment in the Black Rice Wasteland.

After the last joint operation of the four chambers of commerce in Tongguò carried out a severe attack on the orc independent legion in the Black Rice Wasteland, the small base invested by the four chambers of commerce in the Black Rice Wasteland was quickly established.

Now, a month later, this base has been established in its prototype, and according to estimates, it will be initially put into use early next year.

In addition to the four nearby orc tribes who had agreements with the four chambers of commerce before, there were also many orcs in the deeper part of the Black Rice Wasteland who came to express their willingness to join the human factory work.

According to this trend, as long as this base is completed and the factories of the four chambers of commerce are officially put into use, the influence of this base will radiate as far as 100 kilometers into the Black Rice Wasteland.

Xu also believes that in less than two years, this area affected by radiation will be completely integrated into the human order.

If you follow this step and recommend it further, sooner or later, all the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland will be absorbed into the factory of the Human Chamber of Commerce, and the problem of the Lampari Kingdom will be completely solved.

And then there's the north.

Xu Yi tilted his head and looked northeast.

Thinking of going to Thurwell City to invest, Xu Yi inevitably thought of Count Satsuma, who was serving as the city lord in Thurwell City at this time.

If Count Satsuma had not been suddenly transferred away and continued to stay in Bangta City to support Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then in the past half a year, Bangta City would probably have changed again, and the entire development would not have stagnated like now, and even regressed.

Looking a little deeper to the northeast, Xu Yi's mind came up with the appearance of the Caroline County Lord.

His Royal Highness the County Lord, whose appearance was not inferior to Steele, but whose style was countless times bolder than Steele, left a deep impression on Xu Yi.

Not because of her appearance and the naked temptation she revealed to Xu Yi, but because Xu Yi saw some shadows of Sevigny from her.

Xu Yi could see that Lord Caroline seemed a little frivolous on the surface, but she really wanted the Duchy of Draco to become stronger, so she would always ask questions during the few days she visited the Falling Rain Valley, trying to absorb all the novelties she saw here.

The charm exuded by Lord Caroline, who was in this state, was far more fascinating than when she posed a seductive gesture to Xu Yi.

Thinking of the last words that Lord Caroline said to himself before leaving, Xu Yi couldn't help but move in his heart, and then quickly shook his head and shook off this distracting thought.

After calming down, Xu Yi identified the direction and walked towards the product service center set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City.

This is his habit, and every time he comes to Bonta City, he will go to the product service center to listen to the report.

Because the product service center directly faces the customers of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it can get the most direct information from customers, and listening to these opinions can allow Xu Yi to make the most appropriate judgment on the improvement of products.

Just turned a street corner, and suddenly a figure staggered out of the alley next to him, and before he took two steps, his whole body suddenly went limp, and he fell directly to the side of the wall, and then collapsed on the ground against the wall, motionless.

Xu Yi was stunned, and hurriedly walked over and squatted down to observe, but found that this very thin looking figure was indeed a girl, and she was still very young in terms of appearance, probably about twenty years old.

Judging by her closed eyes and weak breathing, she looked like she had fainted.

Xu Yi grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously a few times, but the girl didn't mean to wake up at all.

Seeing that there were no other figures passing by on the streets before and after, Xu Yi hesitated for a while, shook his head helplessly, leaned over and picked up the girl, added a wind resistance technique to himself, and flew towards the Falling Star Manor outside the city at high speed.
