Chapter 100: The Department of Agriculture is here again

Two hours later, Hui led Sancheli back to the office.

Director Ram couldn't help but wonder when he saw Sancheli, who was no different from a beggar behind Xu Yi, but he was sophisticated, so he naturally wouldn't ask too much, according to Xu Yi's arrangement, let the servants lead Sancheli to take a bath and change clothes, and he came to Xu Yi's side, and said: "President Xu, just now His Majesty the King's guard sent someone to inform him, saying that His Majesty the King will summon him at five o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, you had better arrange a time and wait here in advance, and someone will come to pick you up and enter the palace at that time." ”

"It's going to be pretty fast the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Xu Yi nodded. "I thought His Majesty the King was so busy that he would have to put me aside for a few days before he thought of summoning me. ”

Director Ram immediately laughed and said, "President Xu, you are underestimating yourself. The man who came to inform you just now is the clerk directly under His Majesty the King, and he has been sent to inform you, on behalf of His Majesty the King, who attaches great importance to this summons. I also inquired with the clerk, and he said that since His Majesty had arranged for you to meet you at five o'clock in the afternoon, it was very likely that he would keep you for dinner. This is a rare honor, and you must be mentally prepared. ”

"Oh, does His Majesty think so much about me? Xu Yi laughed, and then frowned again. "If that's the case, what's the matter with the Department of Agriculture, isn't it strange that His Majesty the King attaches so much importance to me, but the Department of Agriculture treats me so contemptally?"

"This ......" Director Ram looked left and right, and suddenly leaned into Xu Yi's ear, and said in a very low voice: "President Xu, the current director of agriculture is the Marquis of Setech, and he and Viscount Leslie's father, Duke Stag, have always disagreed politically......"

Although it's just a simple hint. But Xu Yi immediately heard the meaning of Director Ram's words.

However, understanding is understanding, Xu Yi still smiled helplessly.

He really just wanted to study the magic machine properly. And continue to promote these magic machines to improve people's lives from now on. Now that he has not done anything, he has been forced to get involved in the struggle of these big people, which is really not what he wants.

But this is also something that Xu Yi has long expected.

Not to mention that in this world where the aristocracy still occupies absolute power, even on the earth, which claims to have achieved democracy and equality, it is impossible for the merchants to not get involved with politics at all.

Not to mention that like the most powerful country on earth, the government is simply at the service of those big businessmen.

"If that were the case, wouldn't I have lost the support of the Agriculture Department?" said Xu Yi, frowning.

Although as long as he can get the support of His Majesty the King, Xu Yi's promotion plan for the farmland magic machine can be implemented, but it is specifically to do this. It must still be the Royal Agricultural Administration, and if the Agricultural Administration obstructs Xu Yi's plan in every possible way due to political reasons, it will be much more troublesome.

"President Xu, you don't have to worry about this. The Department of Agriculture is the most important department in the kingdom, and it is not the Marquis of Setek who has the final say. Director Ram reassured.

Xu Yi thought about it and could only shrug his shoulders: "I hope so." ”

Just as he was about to explain some more things to Director Ram, a servant suddenly rushed in.

"Your Excellency, two officials claiming to be from the Department of Agriculture are asking to see President Xu!"

Director Ram and Xu were stunned at the same time.

Didn't officials from the Agriculture Department already come, why did two more suddenly pop up?

Five minutes later. Hui also met the two officials of the Department of Agriculture in the living room.

The uniforms worn by these two men were exactly the same as those worn by the four officials of the Agriculture Department before them, except for the slight difference in the badges on their chests.

The two officials, a man and a woman, both looked extremely young, and the male one was no more than thirty years old. The female one was even in her early twenties, far from being comparable to the bad old man who was over half a hundred years old like Lord Fisher before.

In contrast to Lord Fisher's condescending attitude, the two men were extremely gentle and cordial. As soon as he saw Xu Yi, the male official smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Xu Yi.

"President Xu Yixu, right? I'm Harvey. I've heard of your name for a long time, and now I've finally met me. It really excites me. ”

Xu Yi stretched out his hand and shook it with him in confusion: "You know me?"

Harvey laughed, "Of course." I have conducted in-depth research on the farmer support plan proposed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I have to say, President Xu, your plan is really a stroke of genius. Not only can it help ordinary farmers to become self-reliant, but it also effectively popularizes the farmland magic machinery produced by your chamber of commerce in Bangta City, thus greatly increasing the utilization rate of cultivated land in Bangta City. According to Count Satsuma, if nothing else, the harvest in Bunta City will be greatly improved next year. As an official of the Department of Agriculture, I am very happy about this. If we can spread the experience of Bangta City throughout the kingdom and greatly increase the grain income in the kingdom, it will solve a big problem in our Lampari Kingdom! Therefore, our Agriculture Department is very concerned and attaches great importance to President Xu and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and handed over the research report to His Majesty the King as soon as possible. His Majesty the King also attaches great importance to this, which is why he has decided to summon you. ”

Xu Yi glanced at him with some surprise: "You said that your Agriculture Department attaches great importance to it, why can't I see it?"

Harvey was slightly stunned, he smelled a strange smell from Xu Yi's words.

"Why do you say that?"

Xu Yi glanced at Director Ram on the side, paused, and continued: "Before you, that is, this morning, four officials from the Department of Agriculture have already visited, and their attitude towards me is not friendly at all, so they asked me to hand over the six farmland magic machines I brought this time. ”

"Has an official from the Agriculture Department been here?" Harvey was stunned for a moment, turned his head and exchanged a look with the female official who had been silent, and then turned to Xu Yi and asked solemnly, "President Xu, who is the leader?"

"He claimed to be Lord Fisher. Xu Yidao.

"Lord Fisher?" Harvey nodded slightly, but didn't say much, pondered for a moment, and said, "President Xu, I think I need to explain it to you. There are many aspects that our Agriculture Department is responsible for managing, and this contact with you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, together with the possible cooperation in the future, is now under the sole responsibility of the Kingdom Farmland Reform Committee under our Agriculture Department, which is currently composed of only me and her. Harvey gestured to the female officer next to him. "Lord Fisher is indeed an official of the Agricultural Department, but he is not in charge of these things, so you can ignore them. ”

Xu Yi frowned: "Only the two of you are responsible, so how can I trust you?"

Harvey thought for a moment and smiled wryly: "It's because we're not thinking about it." However, President Xu, I think you will know the answer when you meet His Majesty the King. ”

Xu Yi spread his hands: "Okay, after I meet His Majesty the King, I'll talk to your Agriculture Department, now I don't know who to believe." ”

"This ...... President Xu, in fact, before you meet His Majesty the King, we would like to actually observe the operation of the six farmland magic machines that you have brought, and summarize a report to report to His Majesty. So I hope you can cooperate with us, and now take those six magic machines with us to the outside of the city for a live demonstration. Harvey said.

"Why should I believe you?" Xu Yi stared at Ha Wei: "What if you are like that Lord Fisher, and you just want to confiscate my machines?"

Harvey was a little crying and laughing: "President Xu, don't ......"

"If the Department of Agriculture really wants you to turn in these six magic machines, will you turn them in?" the female official, who had been silent, suddenly said Harvey's words.

As soon as she spoke, Harvey immediately shut up.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi immediately understood that the two seemed to be Harvey in charge, but in fact, they were only afraid that the real controller should be this younger female official.

In fact, it seems a bit old-fashioned to say that she is an official, in fact, she looks no more than in her early twenties, although she doesn't look as amazing as Steele, but both facial features and facial features are very soft, and the proportions are almost perfect, and if you look closely, you can't help but have a sense of intimacy with her.

But her temperament always reveals strong self-confidence and nobility, obviously from an extraordinary background, and she has been well educated since childhood.

Such an outstanding girl, I'm afraid that even ordinary aristocratic families can't be cultivated, and at least she should be from a big aristocratic family.

No wonder Harvey would say that the Farmland Reform Committee was composed of only him and this girl.

Harvey already looks very simple, this girl's background is only afraid of being more powerful, and the backer behind it is not the king himself, so they can make them disdain Lord Fisher.

"If the Department of Agriculture has a good enough reason, for example, to study the operation of these six machines and how they can improve agricultural productivity, then I can choose to turn them in. But if, as Lord Filscher hastenedly and unjustifiably demanded that I surrender, then I would be forgiven for not complying. Xu Yi replied honestly.

The girl nodded slightly: "Of course you don't need to comply with such an unreasonable request." But President Xu, for now, we just want you to use those six magic machines to give us a demonstration, so that we can observe the operation of those magic machines on the spot, so that it can make it easier for His Majesty the King to understand the function of those magic machines, I don't think you will refuse, right? I think that since you have brought those magic machines from Bonta City, of course you will not want them to stay in the treasury all the time and not be able to show their true effect. ”

Xu Yi looked at the girl with a deep groan, but the other party's gaze did not dodge at all, and looked directly at Xu Yi, his eyes were clear, and he did not look like he was weak-hearted.

"Your eyes are so beautiful. Xu Yi suddenly smiled and praised, and then Huo Ran got up. "Well, I choose to believe you. But I also need to warn you beforehand, don't be intimidated by their power. (To be continued......)
