Chapter 86: New Agricultural Base
Due to Sevigny's special approval, Xu did not have to leave the Falling Star Manor early in the morning to start work the next day.
However, he still got up at about six o'clock according to his usual biological clock, and then drove the surprised Vivian, Lis, and Linda aside before Steele got up, made a breakfast by himself, and then brought it to Steele's bedside who woke up at almost eight o'clock.
"Xu Yi, it's usually people who have done bad things to deliberately show that they have to be so courteous, have you done anything to be sorry for me?" Steele looked at Xu Yi with a warm smile on his face, and couldn't help but smile and glanced at Lisi and Linda who were following behind Xu Yi. "Did you finally regret it last night, and ...... with Liz and Linda while I was asleep?"
"Eat well and don't talk nonsense. Xu Yi directly stuffed the spoon into Steele's mouth and gagged her.
Steele smiled slightly, and under Xu Yi's service, he slowly enjoyed this rare breakfast made and fed by Xu Yi himself.
While doing careful service for Steele, Xu Yi discussed with Steele what he thought about last night.
Because of Steele's actions last night, Xu Yi felt that she must have been idle and bored in the Falling Star Manor during this time, which led to so many strange thoughts that were completely inconsistent with her personality.
So in order to solve this problem, Xu Yi, after careful consideration, decided to agree to Steele's request to continue working a long time ago.
Although Xu Yi did not let Steele completely leave her work under the requirements of Steele's tough attitude, he strictly controlled her workload. In fact, the director is still doing almost nothing every day.
Now I find that doing so leads to Steele's cranky thinking. And it may not be good for Steele's body and mood. Xu Yi decided to relax the restriction and discussed with Steele how she could be more involved in her work while still getting enough time to rest.
Steele had obviously considered this issue seriously, so when Xu Yi proposed this idea, she was happy and at the same time, she still discussed it seriously with Xu Yi very rationally.
Both of them are smart people, and there is no contradiction in this regard, so naturally the discussion is very pleasant. It didn't take long to decide.
According to Xu Yi and Steele's agreement, after Steele is three months pregnant, she can return to her job and continue to be responsible for various matters related to the work of different races entering the Lampari Kingdom.
As the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce grew, the Chamber of Commerce in Bonta City, and many other cities, gradually began to accept the employment of other races into the Chamber of Commerce.
Now, according to Steele's statistics, in addition to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bonta City, among the alien races employed by other chambers of commerce, the number of orcs has surpassed that of the dwarves, becoming the largest, currently exceeding a thousand.
The dwarves followed. There were probably more than 300 people, most of whom were hired as mechanical engineers.
The least, of course, are the elves. So far, there have not been more than twenty.
The Lampari Kingdom Council was overwhelmingly opposed to the attitude of these heteroracial workers.
But now, the Royal Parliament has begun to take a very positive attitude towards them, and when the Crescent Chamber of Commerce opened by Guò Steele imposed various restrictions on these alien races, it also relaxed the regulations and began to allow the alien races with labor certificates to operate as normal as humans in the kingdom of Lampari.
"Speaking of which, most of the other races in the entire Lampari Kingdom have now entered the various chambers of commerce, right?" Xu Yi said. "They can be said to have initially integrated into our human society, but other countries on the continent are definitely different from our Lampari Kingdom, have you ever considered recruiting some alien races from other countries?"
"Other countries?" said Steele frowned slightly. "I'm afraid this won't get around the people in those countries, right?"
"It's okay, let the other races currently working in the Chamber of Commerce contact themselves, we won't interfere. You see, didn't Kanbi also contact a dwarven tribe in the Ruerson Kingdom some time ago, saying that they planned to persuade the dwarven tribe to relocate to Bonta City as a whole, and then let me consider accepting them. The dwarven tribes relocate on their own, and the human state generally doesn't care, so we have to do it now as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult for other countries to realize the value of these other races in the future. ”
"Hmm...... This concern is correct. Steele nodded. "At least I know very well that if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce lacks the dwarves now, I'm afraid most of the production will come to a standstill. ”
"So, you can dig as much as you can now. You know, human resources are much more important than any other resource in many cases. ”
While chatting with Steele about these things, they shared breakfast, and by the time the breakfast was finished, the sun had already risen in the sky.
When Xu Yi rushed to 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 came late, didn't you?" Seeing Xu Yi, who was late, President Cruise laughed loudly.
There was a burst of good-natured but still mixed with a mocking laugh in the crowd, which made Xu Yi smile awkwardly, and then glared at Sevigny, who was surrounded by everyone.
Sevini raised his head slightly, gave Xu Yi a slightly smug smile back, then glanced at the sky and announced: "Okay, since President Xu has also come, then I now announce that the groundbreaking ceremony of the new agricultural base in Bangta City has officially begun!"
Under the leadership of Sevigny, a group of business representatives who appeared here, including Xu Yi, each of them symbolically shoveled a few times of soil, and then a bunch of engineering magic machines that had been prepared by the Amrité Chamber of Commerce swarmed up and were busy in this field that had been planned in advance.
As a demonstration site for the combined development of agriculture and commerce, which represents the combination of agriculture and commerce, the fruit canning factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the village of Koror has been the focus of Sevigny's investigation and propaganda in the past few months as the mayor of the city.
Later, after mutual agreement with several other chambers of commerce in the city, Sevigny, on behalf of the city lord's office, decided to create a new agricultural development base around the village of Koror.
The role of this new agricultural development base is to act like a fruit canning factory. Further integration of agricultural development and commercial activities in Bonta City. Increase the commercial value of agricultural products. So as to increase the income of ordinary farmers.
This idea can also be regarded as a discussion and implementation of Sevigny's future development of Bonta City.
If you put it in the whole Lampari kingdom, it is really a bit too far ahead.
Because although all the current grain production of the entire Lampari Kingdom has been increasing for two consecutive years, it is still slightly insufficient overall.
While other cities in the kingdom are struggling with how to solve the problem of food and clothing for their people, Bangta City has begun to consider how to change the agricultural structure and improve the income of rural households.
Because of this move in the city of Bonta, a controversy broke out in the kingdom council.
Many members of parliament said. If Bangta City has such idleness, why not think about how to help the rest of the kingdom develop agriculture first?
For example, in Bangta City, where chemical fertilizers have been proven to work well in practice, why not hurry up and produce more?
This is much better than engaging in some unreliable and strange-sounding so-called restructuring of the agricultural industry, right?
As for the other few councillors, they said that since Buntar City is developing well, then it should be allowed to let Bunta City develop in its own way, instead of letting Bunta City go backwards as Earl Stark did when he was the lord of the city.
Although the voices in favor of Severny and Bonta City were smaller, the opposition was even louder because the impact of Earl Stark's actions as Lord of Bonta was too significant. But I don't have much confidence.
What's more, His Majesty the King made his attitude clear, saying that since Bang Ta City is a special economic zone. Then it should be kept in its own special place.
As for whether the specific effect is good or not, it depends on the result.
In the end, the result of the discussion was to set a goal for the city of Bonta.
Bonta City wants something special?
But since you want to be special, you have to make something special.
According to the final deliberations of the Royal Assembly, by the end of this year, the city of Bang Ta must pay more than 30% of last year's minimum income from food and taxes, otherwise the special economic zone status of the city will be abolished.
"Hey, should I say that those distinguished councillors are not knowledgeable, or is it because their position dictates their approach, and they have even given up their IQ?" Xu Yi shook his head and made a merciless evaluation of the decision of the Kingdom Council. The results of this year's autumn harvest have come out, don't they know that this is more than half of last year's autumn harvest?"
"They don't care much about the grain harvest, and the reason why they ask for this is just to limit my energy from focusing on business development. Severny shook his head and explained. "The focus is on tax revenues. They felt that if they couldn't produce significantly better results than when Count Stark was the lord of the city, it would mean nothing. ”
"Is this an exculpation for Earl Stark?" Xu Yi snorted coldly. "But they underestimate Bunta City, right? If it weren't for Earl Stark, last year's tax revenue from Bunta City would have exceeded one million gold coins, and the part paid could even be worth the sum of the year before and the year before last. As for comparing this year to last year......?
Sevini looked at Xu Yi with a sneer, but he didn't care much, but asked a little funny: "Then President Xu, who has super self-confidence, how much do you think our Bangta City can pay this year?"
Xu Yi stretched out a slap and said affirmatively: "The minimum is 500,000 gold coins." Not counting our new flying chamber of commerce. ”
Sevini showed a look of surprise: "Although I am confident that I can easily meet the requirements of the Kingdom Council, but half a million gold coins...... And not including your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, that's a bit too exaggerated, isn't it? Doesn't that mean that our annual tax revenue in Bangta City must exceed 1.5 million gold coins?"
Xu Yi smiled confidently, pointed to the new agricultural base that had just started construction, and said, "Your Royal Highness, let's make a bet." Do you believe that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce alone can pay more than 200,000 gold in taxes this year?"
Sevini shook his head slowly: "Although I don't know the exact number, the total amount of taxes paid by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce so far this year should not exceed 100,000 gold coins. Now that there are only four months left before the end of the year, how can it exceed 200,000 gold coins?"
"Don't you believe it?" Xu Yi stretched out his hand to Severny: "Then the beloved city lord, let's make this bet, shall we?" (To be continued......)
