After the spring harvest was completed, the final statistics showed that on Viscount Leslie's territory, plus the 21 hectares of farmland reclaimed last year and the 7 hectares of farmland that had been cultivated, the total output after all the wheat planting was more than 100,000 catties!

According to the calculation that one hectare is equal to 15 mu, the yield of wheat per mu on the land of Viscount Leslie is roughly between 240 and 250 catties.

Although it is much worse than the high yield ratio of at least 500 catties or even more than 1,000 catties on the earth, it is very close to the output in the ancient period when the technology on the earth was not yet developed.

And the yield per acre of farmland on Viscount Leslie's territory is not important, what matters is the total yield.

Prior to this, even if Viscount Leslie dispatched all the slaves and guards and other laborers under his name every year, he could only cultivate seven hectares of farmland at most, and the maximum amount of wheat received each season was only more than 20,000 catties.

After using farmland magic machinery to reclaim 21 hectares of farmland last autumn, this year's spring harvest suddenly broke through the 100,000 jin mark, which was four times as much as before!

Although everyone has been mentally prepared for this result, they are still shocked when they actually hear this number.

Shock was followed by joy.

Since Viscount Leslie was able to dramatically increase the total grain production by transforming the fertile fields in his territory with the help of the Farmland Magic Mechanic, it meant that others could do the same.

Of these, the happiest of them all was, of course, Sevigny.

"President Xu, if my father knew the results of the harvest here, he would be very happy. "Look at the statistics in your hand. Sevigny's face showed irrepressible joy. "We in the kingdom of Lampari don't really have a shortage of land to cultivate, but we just lack manpower. Many of the fields are in a barren state. Now that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's farmland magic machine has proved that only a small number of people are needed to reclaim a large amount of farmland, it means that the barren fields in our kingdom can finally be reclaimed! The food production in the kingdom will definitely increase dramatically like Viscount Leslie's domain, and maybe in less than two years, everyone in the kingdom will no longer be hungry!"

Xu Yi looked at Sevigny, who was so excited that he even lost his temper, and thought to himself that if it weren't for his hungry stomach for a while when he first crossed into this world, I am afraid that he would not be able to understand the joy in Sevigny's heart now.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, why do you have to wait for two years? As long as you seize the opportunity of this year's spring plowing to transform the farmland in the kingdom accordingly, then you will see results when you wait for this year's autumn harvest at the earliest." Maybe this year you'll find that the people of the kingdom don't have to go hungry. ”

Sevini shook his head: "Of course I hope to do it as soon as possible. However, it will take time to popularize the farmland magic machine in the kingdom, and it will not be completed in a while. What's more......" Sevini glanced at Xu Yi with a little sadness. "Is it possible for you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to complete those orders in the spring planting stage? Don't forget. I just wanted you to give priority to the production of magic machines, but you refused. ”

Xu Yi smiled awkwardly: "I can't help this, after all, I have to take into account the overall development strategy of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"I don't mean to blame you, I just want to put some expectations on you again. I hope that your Chamber of Commerce will give priority to fulfilling this order as much as possible. Sevigny's big beautiful eyes stared at Xu Yi's eyes, and his expression was extremely sincere and sincere. "President Xu, there are still more than half of the people in the kingdom who can't eat enough. Whether you can solve this problem depends on your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "Your Royal Highness, what you said makes me feel so stressed." Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce, so we don't need to take on such a heavy responsibility, right?"

Sevini smiled slightly: "The greater the ability." The greater the responsibility. Isn't this what President Xu said when you talked to me about my identity last time? Since your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently has this ability, then you have to take this responsibility. Am I right?

Xu Yi could only smile bitterly again: "That's right, Your Royal Highness." ”

###

After counting the spring harvest in Viscount Leslie's land, Sevini immediately left Bonta City.

According to what she said before leaving. This time, with the actual example and amazing effect of Viscount Leslie's domain, it will definitely be easier to impress other nobles in the kingdom who own territories, and it will be more convenient for the Department of Agriculture to promote a large number of popularization of farmland magic machinery.

According to the estimates of the Department of Agriculture. Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce completes the order of up to 30,000 units of various farmland magic machinery from the Department of Agriculture, it still cannot meet the domestic demand of the Lampari Kingdom.

In other words. After that, there may still be a large number of orders for farmland magic machinery flying to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, Xu Yi strongly welcomes this.

Selling farmland magic machinery is a very profitable business, not to mention when farmland magic machinery is really popular. As Xu Yi envisioned, a large number of laborers could be freed from the farmland and invested in the magic industry with a broader future.

Take Bangta City as an example, because since last year, the nobles of Bangta City have purchased some farmland magic machinery, coupled with the farmer support plan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, many farmland magic machines have been directly sent to ordinary farmers, so now in most of the farmland outside Bangta City, the popularization of farmland magic machinery has been basically achieved.

In less than a week of this year's spring planting season, all the harvesting tasks have been completed in the vast area of farmland outside Bonta.

After the harvest is completed, there are countless farmland magic machines galloping back and forth on the land that was originally barren due to lack of manpower, carrying out farmland reclamation and transformation projects.

According to the statistics of the city lord's government, the newly cultivated farmland currently planned is more than three times as much as the farmland that has been cultivated outside Bangta before!

If these fields can be cleared and planted smoothly during the spring planting phase, then by the time of the autumn harvest, the total grain production in Bonta City will surprise everyone.

At the behest of the Counts of Satsuma and Sevigny. The Bonta Daily hyped up the changes in Viscount Leslie's land, which indirectly promoted the transformation of the farmland.

And for the next ten days. The "Bonta Daily" has carried out a series of follow-up reports on this project, accurately presenting the vigorous scene outside the city of Bonta in front of everyone.

Able to do that. Thanks also to Baron Haynas, who made a special trip from Anvimar to Bonta City.

Although he was much more mature and stable than before, as soon as he came into contact with the newspaper, Baron Haynas immediately regained his previous passionate appearance.

As soon as he returned to Bonta City, he went straight to the Bonta Daily, and then worked in the newspaper office every day in the dark.

During the time of Baron Hainas's absence, the style of the daily Bonta newspaper was less aggressive and sharper than it had been in his time, and it became more stable when he returned, as if it were immediately infused with a special spirit. The overall style changes in an instant.

"That's the charisma of Henus. Viscount Leslie looked at the "Bonta Daily" that had just come out of his hand today, and smiled: "Or maybe it is because of his support that the "Bonta Daily" can become so sharp, and even the ugly things done by the nobles dare to report." I think this guy must be having a good time these days, because in Anweimar City, even if he has the support of his family behind him, he doesn't dare to report many things. ”

"Of course, does he dare to report what color of underwear His Majesty is wearing today?" Xu Yi quipped.

Viscount Leslie laughed: "Xu Yi, you are wrong. He also really reported in the "Anvimar Daily" on some aspects of the king's private life, and even some scandalous things. However, this was all done at the behest of His Majesty the King, and he did not have the courage to speak of his own. ”

"His Majesty the King instructed himself?" Xu Yi thought for a moment. "Is this to create a pro-people attitude?"

"Yes, Xu Yi, you can see it very clearly. Viscount Leslie nodded. He glanced at the "Bonta Daily" in his hand again, and then casually threw it on the table and sighed. Shaking his head slightly, he said, "It's a pity, even if Henas is so happy here." In a few days, I will have to return to Anvimar City. ”

Looking at Viscount Leslie's slightly frowning brow, Xu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Will you go back with him too?"

Viscount Leslie glanced at Xu Yi. didn't answer immediately, but took a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, as if thinking about how to answer Xu Yi's question.

Xu Yi did not urge, sat on the chair and waited quietly.

After a long while, Viscount Leslie put down the teacup, tapped his fingers on the table, then looked at Xu Yi and nodded slowly: "Yes, I will go back with him." ”

"And then like you said last time, never come back?" Xu Yi asked. "Why? Didn't you stay well in Bonta City?"

Viscount Leslie smiled and shook his head, "Perhaps in your and most people's minds, I've had a good time in Bunta City. But from our family's point of view, it's very bad. As the eldest son of the family, I have been staying in a small place like Bonta City for all these years to covet comfort and pleasure, in fact, to evade my responsibilities. The family needed me to be a more important person, so they didn't want me to stay in Bonta City any longer. I could resist and run away from it before, but this time...... I couldn't continue to resist and run away. If nothing else, when I leave Bonta City this time, I will join the army and go to the northern border of the kingdom to accumulate military merits and qualifications according to the family's plan for me. If nothing else, I don't think I'll have much chance of returning to Bonta City. ”

Xu Yi fell silent.

This was the responsibility that Viscount Leslie had to bear in a big aristocratic family like the Stark family, and he couldn't question anything.

But Viscount Leslie is actually an alternative among the nobles, very open-minded, without the arrogance that nobles generally have, whether it is to cooperate with him or to be friends with him, it is very comfortable.

When he left, Xu Yi was still a little lost in his heart.

"Xu Yi, I invite you to come over today, first of all, as a friend, to tell you the reason why I want to leave here, and to say goodbye to you. The second is to make one last request to you as a partner. Viscount Leslie said again.

Xu Yi smiled reluctantly: "If you have any requirements, just say it." As long as I and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can do it, we will definitely do it for you. ”

Viscount Leslie nodded, and said with a straight face: "Xu Yi, let me withdraw my shares." (To be continued......)
