Does His Majesty the King have a headache, the Director of the Foreign Trade Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark, Krabi Morey, does not know, he only knows that if he can't complete the task within half a month, he probably doesn't need to worry about whether he will have a headache in the future, because he is likely to be directly cut off by the angry King Xià.

Although the Kingdom of Sark was not particularly constrained by food production like the previous Kingdom of Lampari, so that widespread famine often occurred, it was in fact extremely difficult, and had to spend a lot of money every year on importing food from other countries.

In the past hundreds of years, the Sark Kingdom has imported grain from the northwest neighboring Falk Kingdom to solve the problem, and in recent years, the grain production of the Lampari Kingdom has increased significantly, and a large number of grain exports will be exported every year, after careful comparison, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Sark Kingdom found that the price of the grain exported by the Lampari Kingdom is as much as 20% cheaper than that of the Falk Kingdom, and the quality is still very good, so even if the two countries are considered feuds, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Sark Kingdom can only import grain from the Lampari Kingdom at the risk of being scolded.

Last year alone, the Kingdom of Sark imported 360,000 tons of rice, 470,000 tons of wheat, and other types of grain from the Kingdom of Lampari, totaling more than one million tons, which was enough to spend the Kingdom's huge budget of 7 million gold coins.

Although it is much lower than the minimum annual consumption of 10 million gold coins from the Falk Kingdom in previous years, in the eyes of the Council of the Kingdom of Sark and His Majesty the King, a large amount of grain is imported from the enemy. It's really not something to be supported.

Moreover, the grain production of the Lampari Kingdom was even more miserable than that of the Sark Kingdom. In recent years, production has suddenly increased dramatically. There is obviously a special reason for being able to take out so much grain for export.

After investigation, the Sark Kingdom finally confirmed that the reason why the grain production of the Lampari Kingdom has increased dramatically in recent years is entirely because the various farmland magic machines developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have improved the farmland utilization rate of the Lampari Kingdom and greatly improved the agricultural efficiency of the Lampari Kingdom.

In addition, the fertilizer produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is also a powerful tool to increase food production.

Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark finally confirmed a plan to increase food production using the same method.

But there's a problem with this solution. That is because the Kingdom of Shack once launched an attack on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the relationship between the two sides was not harmonious, so the Kingdom of Sark has always been worried about the obstacles of importing a large number of farmland magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, the truth was greatly unexpected by the Sark Kingdom.

First of all, the Lampari Kingdom proposed to jointly build a free trade zone with the Kingdom of Sark, opening the first normal trade mode between the two countries in hundreds of years.

Then when the two sides signed the free trade zone agreement, the Kingdom of Sark tried to propose to the two countries that they hoped to purchase a large number of new flying brand farmland magic machinery through the Lampari Kingdom, and unexpectedly got the consent of the Lampari Kingdom, and very smoothly got in touch with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and obtained a large number of permission to import farmland magic machinery.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Sark also made a special trip to bring in some of the first batch of expert old farmers who participated in the new farming mode of the Farmland Magic Machinery from Bangta City. Assist the Kingdom of Sark in its domestic promotion.

In the autumn planting season of the previous year and the two seasons of last year, a large number of new flying farmland magic machines were used. and the Kingdom of Sak, which imitated the cultivation pattern of Bonta City, achieved very good results, and the grain production was increased well every season.

Just after this spring, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark, the total grain output of the whole country has reached more than twice that of last spring.

Although this production is not enough for the Kingdom of Sark to become self-sufficient, it has greatly alleviated the pressure on food within the Kingdom of Sark.

Coupled with the large amount of cheap and good grain imported from the Lampari Kingdom and the Duchy of Stantin, the Sark Kingdom has easily solved the food problem for the whole year this year.

This is the first time in hundreds of years that the Kingdom of Sark has been able to solve this primary problem so easily.

Therefore, no matter what the perception of the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from top to bottom is, they unanimously agree that it is necessary to continue to strengthen the improvement of farmland cultivation, strive to approach or reach the level of the current Lampari Kingdom, and completely solve the problem of food self-sufficiency.

In this context, the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark has taken on the most important task of contacting the Kingdom of Lampari and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and striving to get more support from the Kingdom of Lampari, especially from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

It should be said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has shown a very satisfactory attitude to the Kingdom of Sark from the very beginning.

Although the requirements put forward by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very harsh, such as the need for the Kingdom of Sark to take out a large amount of mineral resources for exchange, and at the same time, a large part of the share of minerals within the Kingdom of Sark must be ceded to them, but in general, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always shown a very good attitude of cooperation.

For all kinds of farmland magic machinery required by the Kingdom of Sark, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has no prevarication, basically the Kingdom of Sark needs to give what it needs, and the supply is very active and timely, and at the same time provides sufficient technical support, so that the Kingdom of Sark can quickly complete the overall mode of farmland cultivation reform, and quickly increase the domestic grain production.

Although there are many objections within the Kingdom of Sark, especially the military department, saying that this will greatly boost the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and is equivalent to indirectly financing the enemy, this point of view is really very weak under the primary goal of solving the food problem.

However, this time, when the Kingdom of Sark proposed to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that it needed to buy a large amount of the cost of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it was unexpectedly hindered.

Regarding the purchase of fertilizer by the Kingdom of Sark, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not directly refuse, but sued Sù Krabi Morey. Because the fertilizer processing plant is actually a cooperation between the elves and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The production and operation of fertilizers are in the hands of the elves. Therefore, if the Sark Kingdom wants to buy fertilizer, it must negotiate with the elves themselves.

However, when Kraby Morey approached Sandy, the person in charge of the Moon Shadow Fertilizer Processing Plant, a member of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he made a condition that made it almost impossible for Morey to agree.

"Dear Director Sandy, may I ask you what you need a piece of territory for?" Morey forcibly suppressed the absurdity in his heart, frowned and asked Sandy, "As far as I know, you Lunaris tribe has always lived in the Duchy of Stantin, right? ”

Sandy's long, slender ears twitched slightly. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then showed an unnatural smile and said, "You don't need to understand what this is of use to us, you just need to know that this is the condition we proposed." If you say yes, then we can sell you cement, and if not, then goodbye. ”

Morey looked at Sandy speechlessly, thinking that the elves were really as impersonal as the legend, and they also had no negotiation skills at all, so they put the conditions out so hard.

There was a pause. Morey asked reluctantly, "This ...... Director Sandy, can we change the conditions? other than the territory. I can say yes to anything. ”

"No, you can't. Sandy shook her head, her face calm but resolute.

Morey could only smile wryly.

Although when he negotiated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, he found that their president Xu Yi and CEO Kennard were very cunning and difficult, which made him suffer a lot, but in comparison, he would rather be entangled with Xu Yi and Kennard for a long time than negotiate more with this beautiful female elf.

Because this female elf is not negotiating with you at all!

After a moment of silence, Morey thought that the Minister of Agriculture had personally found him before leaving, told him about the situation for a long time, took a breath, decided not to give up too early, thought about it, and asked, "Okay then...... Director Sandy, can I know what you are asking for, for example, where do you need this territory, and what are you going to do with it, and you should know that if your acquisition of this territory would be a threat to our kingdom, then we will not agree to it anyway. ”

Sandy nodded, took out a copy and handed it to Morey.

Morey was slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, these elves had already prepared relevant plans, and they had obviously been prepared for a long time.

What surprised him even more was that the elves would prepare a plan in advance like humans, which was really too much like a human's approach.

As a result, Wen Jiàn opened it and took a closer look, and Morey found that the territory demanded by the Moon Shadow tribe was only a piece of land adjacent to the Black Rice Wasteland, with the sea to the west, and the area was not large, probably a dozen square kilometers.

If this territory is not deliberately searched, I am afraid that Morey, a native of the land of the Sark Kingdom, may not find out where it is in the first place.

Seeing this, Morey breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If the Moon Shadow Clan were asking for a piece of territory in an important location within the Sark Kingdom, then it would be impossible for the Sark Kingdom to agree to it anyway.

Now that all they are asking for is such a remote, completely inconspicuous territory, there is a slight possibility of negotiation.

And because the request of Moon Shadow is too heavy, it is not something that he, the director of the Foreign Trade Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture, can afford, so it has nothing to do with him.

The only thing he needed to do now was to convey the Moon Shadow Clan's request back to His Majesty the Venerable King to make a decision.

Thinking of this, Morey smiled at Sandy and nodded slightly, "Director Sandy, I hope you can give us some time to think about it. ”

Sandy nodded lightly, too, "No problem." ”

After a pause, Sandy seemed to remember something again.

"Director Morey, I must remind you that fertilizers also have an expiration date, and if you take too long to make a decision, you will most likely miss the most important spring planting period of the year. ”

Morey looked stunned, and cursed in his heart, but he could only nod his head dejectedly.

No way, one qiē for food.
