"Don't look at me like that, I'm not that great, and I'm not idle, like you say. Xu Yi glanced at Henas, who was sitting opposite, shook his head and said, "This is only done for a reason that I mentioned to you a long time ago, and that is to liberate the agricultural population. ”

"And then get them all into what you call the magical industry?" asked Henus.

"Yes. Xu Yi nodded. "Don't you think there are too few people in our Lampari Kingdom?"

"Too little?" Haynas's eyes narrowed. "Why don't I think? Our Lampari Kingdom is just a small kingdom, and there are a lot of millions of people, do you think this is still a lot? Do you want the population of our Lampari Kingdom to be the same as that of the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire?"

"That's not necessary, it's just a little bit inadequate for what I'm asking right now. Didn't you notice that even though there were 200,000 people pouring in to Bangta City some time ago, it still seemed a little insufficient?"

"But that's because there's almost too much work in Bunta City. Haynas frowned. "And the reason why there are so many jobs in Bangta City is because the goods of your chamber of commerce are also sold to other cities in the kingdom, which is equivalent to feeding these 200,000 people from other parts of the kingdom. If you want the entire kingdom of Lampari to become like Bunta, then who will feed so many people?"

"Of course, it's up to other countries. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Not to mention that there are only more than 5 million people in the Lampari Kingdom, even if there are more than 50 million people, they can easily feed all of them. And I'm not just talking about survival. It's about living a good life. ”

"You're a little too ...... Naive, huh?" Haynath shook his head. "Our Lampari Kingdom is not very strong on the Sainz continent, how can other countries be so stupid and raise us for nothing?"

Xu Yi glanced at Haynas, thinking that it was too troublesome to explain to him how much the Industrial Revolution would transform a country, and besides, he might not be able to understand it, so he thought about it and gave up the idea.

Anyway, Henas came to Bonta City this time only to interview the newly built fertilizer factory, and secretly collected specific information about fertilizer for the kingdom's top management, and discussed with him these deep-seated things that would affect the entire Lampari Kingdom, and it was better to wait until the next time Sevigny came to discuss it.

Thinking of Sevigny, Xu Yi's heart moved. Ask Haynas about the recent whereabouts of Her Royal Highness.

Since last year and Major McConley came once. It had been a long time since Severny had been to Bonta City, which was a bit strange for Serviny, who had been here for the past two years.

"Of course, this place is replaced by Earl Stark as the lord of the city. Her Royal Highness will definitely not come when nothing happens. As for this time. When I left the city of Anvimar. I heard that Her Royal Highness was preparing to set off for the city of Sewell to inspect it. Henas suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked Xu Yi, "Hey, Xu Yi." Does this also have something to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Xu Yiwan smiled. "Can I still decide the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness?"

"I have heard that the city of Thurwell is preparing for the development of an industrial zone, and Her Royal Highness is planning to inspect this industrial zone. Besides, the current lord of Sewell City is the Earl of Satsuma, and you dare to say that the development of this industrial area has nothing to do with you?"

"Why don't I dare to say it?" Xu Yi snorted softly. "To tell you the truth, the Count of Satsuma is developing an industrial zone in the city of Sewell, but he thought of it himself, and I did not propose any construction at all. Of course, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does have plans to invest in Thurwell City, but if it is to be implemented, it will be at least in the second half of the year. ”

"Speaking of which, I remember a few months ago, the Lord Caroline of the Duchy of Draco visited Bonta City. Thurwell City is so close to the Duchy of Drak, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce plans to invest in Thurwell City, shouldn't it have something to do with this Caroline County Lord? Hey, Xu Yi, I heard that this Caroline County Lord is very beautiful, are you confused by her?"

Looking at Henas's ** smile, Xu Yi couldn't cry or laugh.

This guy really has a keen sense of smell, he has never told him about these things before, but he can make inferences so close to the truth from these clues, he really deserves to be a natural journalist.

However, this matter is still a private agreement between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Duchy of Drake for the time being, but it is inconvenient to disclose.

Moreover, the last contact with the Caroline County Lord was too embarrassing, and Xu Yi was reluctant to elaborate more, so he just explained vaguely and casually.

Henas naturally didn't believe it, and had the heart to ask, but Xu Yi resolutely refused.

Seeing Xu Yi's firm attitude, Hainas had no choice but to turn the topic to the topic this time - the fertilizer factory.

In the conversation just now, Xu Yi has already told Sù Hainas that the use of chemical fertilizers in the farmland can increase the yield by half or even nearly double, and this result has been verified on the 100,000 hectares of land leased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Duchy of Stantin.

Haynath was shocked by this result, so he was very puzzled why Xu Yi chose to build such a fertilizer factory in Bonta City, and cooperated with Earl Stark, who had always looked at Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very unpleasantly.

In his opinion, Xu Yi has such a useful tool as chemical fertilizer, and if he opens a fertilizer factory in the Falling Rain Valley, he can easily make a lot of money.

The explanation given by Xu Yi is that he wants to liberate Bunta City from the restrictions of agricultural development that Count Stark emphasizes now, and completely liberate the labor force that is confined to the farmland and devote it to the development of the magic industry.

Haynas didn't quite understand this, and Xu Yi didn't bother to explain more to him.

But of course it was impossible for Heinas to ask just such a question, and he really needed to ask some more detailed numbers.

"Generally speaking, how much fertilizer does an acre of farmland need?" said Haynas, taking out a small notebook to record.

"It depends on what kind of crop it is, and it also depends on what kind of fertilizer it is, and you can't generalize. Xu Yidao. "For example, we grow rice on the farm in the Duchy of Stantin, using the No. 1 chemical fertilizer currently produced, and according to the actual results, an average of 25 to 30 kilograms of sprinkling on one acre of farmland is enough. As for wheat, the fertilizer factory has developed a No. 2 fertilizer specifically for wheat, and the specific amount of fertilizer that needs to be sprinkled will need to be further tested to be clear. ”

"Twenty-five to thirty kilograms per acre of farmland, I will calculate...... Looking at it this way, hundreds of thousands of tons of fertilizer are needed to meet the needs of the entire city of Bangta, right?

Xu Yi smiled and said, "You can rest assured of this." At present, the monthly output of this fertilizer plant is about 50,000 to 60,000 tons, although it cannot meet the demand for spring plowing in Bangta City for the time being, but when the autumn harvest comes, there should be no problem. ”

"But if the effect of using fertilizer is good enough, there will definitely be a great demand for this thing in the whole kingdom by then, and you alone may not be enough for one fertilizer factory, right?" asked Henus again.

"That's for later, I'm not sure for it now. Xu Yi said with a smile.

Seeing the meaningful smile on Xu Yi's face, Henas sighed, thought for a while, and asked again: "Then about this fertilizer, I heard that it was developed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the elf clan, can you tell me more about it?"

"It's our cooperation...... In fact, it was only our side that provided the idea, in fact, the research and development of this fertilizer was all done by the elf clan, and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce basically did not interfere. Xu Yi spread his hands. "So if you ask me how these fertilizers are made, I can't answer anything. ”

Haynas frowned: "Xu Yi, I'm afraid this is not good." If this fertilizer is really as important as you say, but the most important formula and production process are in the hands of the elves, wouldn't it be very bad for us?"

Xu Yi glanced at Haynas and smiled without saying a word.

Haynas immediately came to his senses, erased the question from his notebook, and began asking questions about other details about the fertilizer plant.

After this interview, Xu Yi planned to invite Haynas to lunch together, but Haynes claimed that he still had to hurry up to do an interview with Earl Stark, and refused Xu Yi's invitation.

"By the way, Xu Yi, I have good news for you. Before leaving, Henas squeezed his eyes at Xu Yi. "According to the gossip I have gathered, His Majesty seems to have made up his mind. If nothing else, this Stark Earl may not be able to stay in the position of the city lord for long. ”

"Oh?" Xu was a little surprised, but there weren't too many surprises.

In fact, although Count Stark has been targeting Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce everywhere since he took over the position of the city lord of Bonta City, this has actually promoted the change in the development direction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from another angle.

Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce moved to Xu Yi's private territory in the Luoyu Valley as a whole, because the survival soil of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has basically been lost in Bangta City, Xu Yi has transferred the development goals of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to other places one step in advance.

Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has laid its roots in the Black Rice Wasteland and the Duchy of Stantin, I have to say that there are some reasons for this.

Moreover, Earl Stark's attitude has obviously changed recently, and he has begun to accept and cooperate with Xu Yi in transactions.

Although replacing him as the city lord may reduce a lot of obstacles for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to plan in Bangta City, it actually has little impact on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And in such a short period of time, if a new city owner is exchanged, the development of Bangta City will definitely be affected again.

The only hope that Xu Yi could hope for was that the new lord would be able to think about the all-round development of Bangta City, just like the Count of Satsuma, and not just consider his own position. (To be continued......)
