As the carriage continued to move forward, Xu also discovered more and more that the natural resources of the Duchy of Stantin were too rich.

Not only are all kinds of tropical fruit trees scattered on both sides of the road as if they don't want money, Xu Yi looked all the way down and found a large number of coffee trees and cocoa trees, and even more importantly, there are rubber trees all over the world!

Seeing this scene, Xu Yilian didn't even have time to marvel at why all these various tropical plants distributed all over the earth grew in this place in the Duchy of Stantin, and he was only shocked and puzzled.

With such an abundance of natural resources, why is the Duchy of Stantin so poor?

Before coming to the Duchy of State, whether it was in the books that introduced the geography of the continent, or from everyone's description of the Duchy of Statein, and even from the introduction of the Anclair, the person who was most familiar with the Duchy of Statein, the same message was revealed, that is, the Duchy of Statein was an extremely weak and very poor country.

Before coming to the Duchy of Staten, Xu Yi was mentally prepared to see a country that was always devastated by hurricanes and tsunamis.

But he never imagined that the land of the Duchy of Stantin was not only not barren at all, but even far richer than he imagined.

Such abundant natural resources are simply the most precious gift that God has given them!

If you put it on the earth, such a country may not become rich, but it should not be described as poor in any case.

But along the way, Xu Yi also saw the scattered ordinary people of the Duchy of Stantin through the car window, judging from their tattered clothes and the equally dilapidated wooden houses they lived in. It is true that their lives are very poor.

This made Xu Yi very puzzled.

Possess such natural resources. Even if it is limited by the level of transportation on the Sainz continent. These resources can't be shipped out to make money, but these citizens are not so poor, right?

With this question in mind, Xu Yi began to shift his attention from observing the abundant plants outside the car window to the people of the Duchy of Stantin.

After the carriage finally drove into a place that looked like a town, Xu Yi jumped out of the carriage, glanced at the situation in front of him, and finally suddenly realized.

Although the people of the Duchy of Stantin have abundant natural resources, perhaps it is precisely because they have so many natural resources that they are so poor.

This may sound strange. But it's a very sound analysis.

When he was still on Earth, Xu Yi participated in the field work of construction machinery, and went to those subtropical and tropical countries many times, such as Indochina Peninsula and Indian Peninsula, almost all of them were visited.

In those countries, he found one thing they had in common, and that was that the people there were lazy.

The same project may only take two or three months to complete in the Celestial Empire, but in those countries, corruption and government inefficiency are aside, simply because of the laziness of the local workers. It is enough to delay the project for half a year or even a year, and it may not be completed.

Because of this problem, the engineering leaders of many companies have complained to Xu Yi in private.

Obviously, you only need to learn how to operate those construction machinery. Their job is to easily sit on the construction machinery and operate it, but those workers don't even bother to learn the most basic operations.

And if they are asked to do jobs that require heavy weight, they will be even more lazy.

Because the work efficiency of the local workers was too low, the progress of the project was delayed too much, so that many engineering companies even spent a lot of money to directly recruit a large number of workers from the Celestial Empire to carry out the construction of the project.

Although the contract with the local government must guarantee the recruitment of a certain percentage of local workers, these engineering companies prefer to spend more money to support these local workers for nothing, without expecting the efficiency of local workers.

Xu Yi thought about the expressions of the heads of the engineering companies when they complained, as well as the local conditions he saw in those countries, and compared the situation in front of him, so he naturally made this judgment.

The reason why the Duchy of Stantin is poor, aside from other reasons, is probably the most important reason because the people here are too lazy.

From the entrance of this town, although there are quite a few people, whether they are strolling through the streets, sitting on the corners, or simply lying on the ground and basking in the sun, everyone exudes a lazy and lazy atmosphere from their faces to their whole bodies.

It's as if they don't want to spend any more effort on something else.

Although there are a few small stalls scattered on the street, no one has come to patronize them for a long time, and the owner of the stall doesn't seem to care much about this situation at all, let alone shouting hard, and even sleeping with their eyes closed and their heads covered!

Xu Yi thought about it for a while and found that he could actually understand the mentality of these ordinary people.

On the earth, it may be barely said that all living beings are equal, and ordinary people also have the hope of climbing up.

However, the social form on the continent of Sainz is still very backward, and the class concept here is deeply rooted, and ordinary people will never think of rebelling against the aristocracy.

So for ordinary people, being able to fill their stomachs and survive is the first goal.

The Duchy of Stantin, on the other hand, is rich in natural resources, so if you're hungry, you can go to the fruit trees on the side of the road and pick some fruit to fill your mouth.

Since there is no pressure to survive, and there is no motivation and desire to climb up, as an ordinary person, there is naturally only one way to go.

Of course, being able to understand does not mean being acceptable.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Xu Yi's mood is still the same as when he visited the Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Peninsula, mourning the misfortune of these ordinary people and being angry with them.

Work hard, be diligent, at least you can make your life better, but why don't these guys work hard?

Ankru on the side saw that since Xu Yi got off the carriage, he looked at the town in front of him silently, his face was a little not good-looking, and he thought that he was not very satisfied with the environment here, so he hurriedly said: "President Xu, today is just a temporary rest here for one night." I've already contacted the lord of the city here and asked him to clear out his room in his manor to receive you. His manor is much better than here, you don't have to worry. ”

Xu Yi didn't bother to explain his true thoughts to Ankru, shook his head, and walked towards the town.

Seeing Xu Yi's movements, Ankru was stunned and hurriedly followed.

There are only six streets in this town, and all of them are very short, and the area of the town is probably less than one-tenth the size of Bangta City, and it took Xu Yi less than half an hour to walk from one end to the other.

After looking around the town, Xu Yi pondered for a moment and asked Ankru, "What is the approximate grade of this city in your Duchy of Stantin?"

Ankru was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of an embarrassed smile, and replied hesitantly: "This is already the largest city in the north of our principality......"

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, took another look at the town behind him, and forcibly held back the distortion of his face because of the sense of absurdity that rose in his heart.

Such a place, which is not even as good as a random town on earth, is actually the largest city in the north of the Duchy of Stantin?

Are you kidding!

Seeing Xu Yi's somewhat strange expression even though he was desperately holding back, Ankru could only continue to explain awkwardly: "President Xu, our Duchy of Stantin actually doesn't have the concept of a city strictly speaking. This town is only convenient for people in the vicinity to do business, and today is probably not the day of the market, so it seems that there are few people. But if it's the day of the market, it's still more lively......"

Ankrue explained for a while, and he felt that he was really a little unable to speak.

He often went to the kingdom of Lampari, not to mention Anvimar City, but the scale of Bonta City, where Xu Yi was located, had surpassed all the cities in the Duchy of Stanting.

Explaining these in front of Xu Yi can only be darker and darker.

Looking at Ankru, who was silent and embarrassed, Xu Yi sighed in his heart, turned around and stopped looking at the pitiful small "city", and said to Ankru: "Okay, take me to a resting place, I'm a little tired after a day of carriage." ”

Ankrus hurriedly beckoned the three carriages that followed him, and asked Xu to get into the carriage as well, and sped south along the only road that was still wide.

The manor of the city lord mentioned by Ankrug was beyond Xu Yi's expectations, it was built very widely, and there were many houses in the manor, which were continuous and spectacular.

Although it is much inferior to the manor of the random aristocracy outside the city of Bangta, it is very beautiful in terms of scenery, but because it occupies a wide enough area, there are mountains and rivers in the manor, and the wooden houses are quite chic, it looks like the environment is really good.

According to Ankru, the owner of this manor is the lord of the city just now, and the city is named after his family.

His family is called the Weilun family, and that city is called Weilun City.

The current patriarch of the Weilun family, that is, the owner of this manor, is called Svein Weilun, a middle-aged fat man with a small stature and a round body.

After seeing Ankru and Xu Yi, Svein Wilon was extremely enthusiastic, especially when facing Xu Yi, he even showed a flattering demeanor from time to time.

As the so-called courtesy is subordinate to others, there must be something to ask for.

This Svein Weilun showed this demeanor to Xu Yi, of course, there was something to ask Xu Yi.

However, Xu Yi couldn't think of anything he needed to ask for for him for the time being.

And this question was quickly answered at the dinner party that greeted him. (To be continued......)
