Chapter 69 Tax Relief

In mid-October, it was said that it was already the envoy of autumn planting, but there was no sign of autumn planting in Viscount Leslie's domain, but there was a constant roar everywhere.

As far as the eye can see, dozens of magic machines of different sizes and shapes are shuttling back and forth in the farmland, changing the original barren land with a new look.

This was the resolution of Viscount Leslie.

After receiving a large amount of magical machinery from Xu Yi, Viscount Leslie decided to reclaim all the land in his domain that could be used for cultivation, and carried out a large-scale rectification according to Xu Yi's proposal.

Previously, because all the farmland under the name of Viscount Leslie was planted by hand, the planning of the farmland was carried out very casually, but now after the decision was made to fully reclaim, Xu Yi asked him to re-plan, connect all the farmland as much as possible, and then divide it into exactly equal squares, and at the same time dig more spacious ditches in each piece of farmland, so that it can be used for rice planting and drought resistance in the future.

In addition, Xu Yijian also built Viscount Yì Leslie to push all the farmland into a large flat land of the same height, which was extremely convenient for mechanized operations in the future.

Seriously, Viscount Leslie had not considered rectifying the land under his name before, but he was really limited in manpower before, and even if he had this idea, he did not have enough manpower to complete this matter.

With more than 300 slaves and less than 100 guards under his name, he did his best to cultivate less than seven hectares of farmland every year.

This year, with the help of various farmland magic machines developed by Xu Yi, this idea can finally become a reality.

A small magic ripper is used to break up the surface of the higher ground, and then the crushed soil is transported to the low-lying area to fill in.

After repeating this several times, the edge of the farmland under the name of Viscount Leslie has basically become a large flat piece.

At this time, it is the turn of the newly developed small magic excavator of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to appear.

First, the soil in the drawn area is loosened with a small magic scarifier, and then the small magic excavator is used to dig a large pit with a width and depth of nearly half a meter in a few moments.

As the small magic excavator kept retreating, the front arm flexed and extended, and the deep pit stretched all the way, and soon carved a long, deep, straight trench in the farmland.

"It's very good, at this rate, it seems that it only takes one day to transform this entire hectare of farmland. "It was not only Viscount Leslie and Xu Yi who came to this farmland today, but even Earl Sean Satsuma also heard the news. Seeing the super high efficiency of those magic machines on the farmland, Count Satsuma couldn't help but praise loudly. "If this is done by hand, I am afraid that it may not be able to be completed in a week. ”

"Lord Castle, I'm actually not satisfied with this speed. Xu Yi shook his head and said. "The power of the small magic excavator we have designed is actually too low, according to my imagination, in fact, the real magic excavator does not need the help of the magic ripper at all, and can dig a trench in the ground by itself. Even my ultimate goal was to use an excavator to dig up rocks, which was nowhere near the same as the small magic excavator you see today. ”

"Oh, you can even dig with stones, are you kidding?" said Count Satsuma.

"No, it's certainly not a joke. If it weren't for the limitations of the mechanical materials, we could have placed a more powerful magic array on this magic machine as a power output, and in that case, the effectiveness of the magic excavator would be much improved, and it would not be strange to finally reach the goal of digging stones. Xu also replied affirmatively.

Of course, this is not bragging, after studying with Camilla Magire for a long time, Xu Yi now knows very well that the power of high-level magic is extremely powerful, and even the legendary forbidden spell can be compared to a nuclear bomb on the earth.

If this is compared, as long as the power of these magic can be correctly applied to the magic machine, then it is not impossible to make the magic machine have the ability to completely match the construction machinery on the earth.

It's a pity that now limited by the rough iron craftsmanship on the Sainz continent, these magic machines can't withstand too much effort, so Xu Yi can only put these ideas in his stomach for the time being.

"It's good for young people to have big goals, but bread has to be eaten bite by bite, and it's not enough to be in a hurry. Count Satsuma smiled and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder and comforted. "I've been amazed by the magic machines you've designed, and I couldn't have imagined that I could complete such a large area of farmland in such a short period of time. It's no wonder that Leslie boy told him so confidently last time that I wanted to reclaim all the farmland under his name, and now that I look at it, I'm afraid it's really promising. ”

Xu Yi suddenly smiled: "Lord City Lord, Lord Viscount is actually using the farmland under his name to help me do it." Although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed so many magic machines, it will not work if it has not been verified by actual results. ”

"Well, that's what a responsible chamber of commerce should do. As for Leslie...... I think he'd love to let you do this in his territory, don't you know how much the other nobles in the city are eyeing him now?" said Count Satsuma with a smile.

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, he not only knew this, but also felt it countless times.

Knowing that Xu Yi would provide a lot of newly developed magic machinery to help Viscount Leslie complete the transformation of the farmland under his name, other nobles in Bangta City also made the same request to Xu Yi, but Xu Yi's current factory capacity is limited, and it can only meet the needs of Viscount Leslie's family at present, and he can't agree to the requests of other nobles at all.

And even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was now able to produce so many farmland magic machines, Xu Yi didn't dare to agree to any nobleman at will.

Viscount Leslie is okay to say, after all, Xu Yi started from him when he launched the magic air conditioner, the small magic harvester and the small magic ripper, and everyone else knew that the relationship between Viscount Leslie and Xu Yi was not ordinary, but as long as Xu Yi dared to agree to any other nobleman, he would definitely offend all the other nobles.

Xu Yi is not stupid, why do you want to do such a thankless job.

Of course, while Xu Yi politely rejected these nobles, he also gave them a guarantee, promising that in the spring of the next year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would definitely produce enough magic machinery to ensure the needs of all noble families.

Although there are still many months to go before the beginning of spring next year, Xu Yi has now received a high order with a total value of nearly 10,000 gold coins.

This order is all for a variety of farm magic machines, which can ensure that the dwarves led by Camby will be busy all winter.

However, this is also a thing that makes Xu Yi very worried.

The magic machine shop is not just for the production of magic machines for the farm, in comparison, Xu also hopes that they can do their best to research magic machines.

Because for industrial development, the machine tool is the foundation of the foundation, and it is difficult for any machine to be separated from the machine tool.

If the machine tool is not developed enough, then the development of the entire industry will be limited, which is not what Xu Yi hopes to see.

However, Xu Yi had no way to refuse these orders, so he had been facing a painful choice during this time.

If you want to develop the magic industry, you must make as much money as possible, because it costs a lot of gold to study the magic industry, and any research requires a lot of material and human investment.

However, if you want to make more money, you will definitely shift your focus, so it will delay the research of the magic industry, which is really a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

"At the end of the day, there are still too few talents. Xu Yi sighed in his heart, turned to Count Satsuma and asked, "By the way, Lord of the City, I don't know if there are any eyebrows about the matter that asked you for help last time?"

Count Satsuma was stunned, then came to his senses, and frowned slightly: "You said it was to help you recruit craftsmen......?" It's a little difficult. If you have too many requirements for craftsmen, there are not many in our city of Bangta, and there are very few in other cities. Besides, these craftsmen who meet your requirements must also be rare talents in the city where they are located, and they will not change places and come to our Bangta City, so ...... I'm also very embarrassed. ”

Xu Yi sighed helplessly, in fact, he also knew very well that Count Satsuma was right, if qualified craftsmen were so easy to recruit, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

It seems that it is better to pin your hopes on the dwarves.

When he mentioned this to Camby last time, Camby said that he could find a way to help him contact the dwarves of other tribes, and if possible, help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce recruit more dwarven artisans.

"But Xu Yi, don't be busy being disappointed. I can't help you recruit artisans, but I can help you with other things. Count Satsuma said suddenly.

"Oh?" Xu also looked at Count Satsuma with some surprise.

Count Satsuma pointed to the magic machines that were working hard in the fields and said, "I have already reported these farmland magic machines invented by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Kingdom Agricultural Administration, and at the same time, I have also written a private letter to His Majesty the King, mentioning these things. Both the Department of Agriculture and His Majesty the King appreciated this, and finally decided to exempt some of the farmland magic machines produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from taxes, and at the same time fully promote these farm magic machines to the kingdom. If nothing else, His Majesty the King may soon summon you, so you'd better be prepared. ”

Xu Yi's eyes lit up suddenly.

Exempt from all taxes?

You must know that the commercial tax in the Lampari Kingdom is very high, and the highest commercial tax for a small chamber of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may even exceed forty percent!

And according to the price of seventy gold coins for a small magic harvester, if the tax is completely exempted, it means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can earn nearly twenty more gold coins as a result!

This is equivalent to the King Xià and the Agricultural Department giving a large sum of money to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, it should not be possible to be completely exempt from taxes, so I am afraid that it will immediately arouse the dissatisfaction of all other chambers of commerce in the kingdom, and His Majesty the king will not be so stupid.

But as long as a part of it can be reduced, it will also bring great benefits to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

What's more important is the latter sentence, His Majesty the King and the Department of Agriculture will promote these farmland magic machines to the kingdom!

This is equivalent to official advertising!

With the support of His Majesty the King and the Kingdom Agricultural Administration, it means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's farmland magic machinery will be easily sold everywhere in the Lampari Kingdom.

At that time, just by selling these farmland magic machines, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very likely to become a first-class chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom!
