Chapter 17: Drunk Driving
After inspecting the fertilizer factory, Sevini did not leave directly, but drove her pale gold magic car to Xu Yi to the Koror village mentioned by Xu Yi before.
Although basic crops such as wheat and rice are the foundation of agriculture, the cultivation of fruit trees in Koror Village is also an important industry, and it has developed rapidly in the past two years, bringing a lot of income to the villagers of Koror Village, which naturally attracted the attention of Sevigny.
"If you look at the situation at the time of last autumn's harvest, I think the total wheat harvest at the end of this year's spring harvest will be very impressive. His eyes swept over the large golden fields in the farmland next to the road, and Xu Yi muttered: "Sevigny, I think...... There is enough basic food in Bonta City, and it is entirely possible to try new agricultural developments such as fruit canning factories. ā
"If you're just thinking about Bunta City, that's fine. The problem is that we don't have to think about Bonta City alone. Sevigny shook his head. "Although because of the farmland magic machinery of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the farmland reclamation of the entire kingdom has been greatly increased, and the grain production has also increased a lot, but according to last year's statistics, it still cannot be regarded as being able to fully meet the needs of the entire kingdom. ā
Xu was also a little surprised: "Plus the 100,000 tons of grain we shipped back from the Duchy of Stantin is not enough?"
"Not enough. Sevigny shook his head. According to the Department of Agriculture, the total population of the kingdom is now between 600 and 7 million. Even if only the minimum food consumption per person is guaranteed, at least 1.2 million tons per year will be required. And last year's total grain harvest in the kingdom was less than a million tons, even if you count the 100,000 tons of wheat you brought back. It still can't meet the minimum needs. ā
Xu Yi couldn't help frowning, he didn't know any real numbers before.
Originally, judging from the situation in Bangta City, he thought that the current Lampari Kingdom should no longer worry about food.
"Do you mean...... Are people still starving to death?"
"It's not like starvation, it's just that you can't eat enough. Sevigny glanced at Xu Yi and showed a pleased smile. "Xu Yi, in fact, I have always been grateful to you. If it weren't for the fact that you invented those farmland magic machines, which greatly increased the food production in the kingdom, I am afraid that many people in the kingdom would still starve to death every year. ā
"It's not something to be complimented on. Xu Yi waved his hand and frowned, "If you say so." We're going to have to push up chemical fertilizers even more. If only every city in the kingdom could be like our city of Bonta. Then not only will everyone be fed, but there will also be surplus food left. ā
"That's your mission. Sevini pointed at Xu Yi. "I know that the fertilizer processing plant is not actually under the jurisdiction of your Chamber of Commerce, but is dominated by those elves. But Xu Yi, since you have the ability to attract those elves here to open such a fertilizer factory. Then I believe that you will also be able to get them to open more fertilizer plants. to meet the kingdom's need for fertilizers. Or...... Just learn from them how to make those chemical fertilizers. ā
Hear Sevigny's naked attitude. Xu Yi smiled bitterly.
He didn't want to get the formula for the fertilizer from the Moon Shadow Clan, but the elves of the Moon Shadow Clan were obviously not stupid and were very guarded against this. Even Xu Yi never revealed anything specific to him every time he went to the fertilizer factory, so that until now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still hasn't been able to get any valuable information related to the formula from it.
But Xu Yi is not in a hurry.
In any case, the Moon Shadow Clan also opened a fertilizer processing factory under his name, and it was impossible for him to be so guarded forever.
What's more, Xu Yi is actually not very interested in many people who have mentioned yƬ to him in private, and after getting the formula, he drove away the elf clan and led the production of chemical fertilizer himself.
The chemical fertilizers in this world are not made by various chemical researches like on the earth, but are completely based on the ancient research of the elves on plants and the experience accumulated over thousands of years.
There are a lot of things in it, and even if they are really taken out, except for the elves, ordinary humans may not be able to complete it so well.
Therefore, for Xu Yi, the most appropriate way is to maintain the current cooperative relationship.
Let the elves develop fertilizers according to the needs of humans, which can be regarded as making full use of the value contained in them.
Although it is inevitable that the elves will earn some benefits, but because they are all under Xu Yi's mediation and control, this is a completely acceptable thing.
At the end of the day, there isn't much conflict between the needs of elves and humans.
"Sevigny, I think...... Maybe you should give me a few more labor permits, and I can get more elves from the Lunaris clan to enter Bunta City and open two more fertilizer factories. Or...... I'll start a chemical factory directly in the Duchy of Statein. It's the home of the Lunaris clan, and production can be bigger there. Anyway, now that the road to the Duchy of Stantin has been built, it is more convenient to transport it with large freight magic locomotives. ā
"Hmm...... These two are good, I think about it, maybe they can be done at the same time. In addition, I think ......"
Sevini turned his head and just described his thoughts to Xu Yi, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Yi's face suddenly changed, and his body pounced suddenly.
"What are you doing ......?"
Sevigny was stunned and just said a few words, but he was already firmly pressed under Xu Yi, and then he heard a loud "tom".
The whole magic car seemed to have been hit directly by something, and the body shook violently, and it flew directly into the farmland next to the road, and then it was blocked by the mud and stopped.
Once the Magic Saloon was stable, Sevigny immediately understood what had happened.
There was a car accident.
A hint of confusion flashed through Sevigny's mind.
Although she has received many reports of car accidents recently, this kind of thing happened to her suddenly, and she still felt overwhelmed for a moment.
But it's only for a moment, the next. She immediately came to her senses.
"Xu Yi, are you okay?"
The moment the car was hit, Sevini clearly heard Xu Yi's muffled snort containing pain.
And now, although Xu Yi's arms are supported above her, he looks quite strong, but the expression on his face is clearly very painful, and it looks like he has been injured a lot.
"Hiss-" Xu Yi took a long breath, spit it out again, the expression on his face eased a lot, looked at Sevigny with a worried face, and shook his head gently: "I'm fine." I opened the magic shield. No big deal. ā
"Really?" Sevigny looked at Xu Yi with a puzzled expression, but didn't say much.
Xu Yi looked at Sevigny carefully and confirmed that she should not be injured, so he made up his mind.
However, this fixation. But it was immediately discovered. The posture of the two of them is really a little **.
If you look at it from the side. Xu Yi is now clearly in the posture of pushing Sevigny down.
"Ahem...... Okay, let's get out of the car first, and stay in the car. Maybe it's dangerous. Xu Yi coughed dryly, moved and pulled his body out.
When I opened the car door and looked down, I found that Sevigny's pale gold magic sedan was actually only slightly damaged in the front, but overall there was no major problem.
However, when I looked up at the other side of the road, I found that in the farmland over there, there was a magic car lying in it.
"I'm going to see which bastard is driving around. ā
Xu Yiyan frowned, strode to the side of the magic car, and saw that in the overturned cockpit, a young man who looked like he was in his early twenties was passing out inside.
"Why do you look familiar?" Xu Yi thought for a moment, pulled the car door hard, and dragged the young man who had passed out of the car.
When I looked at him lying on the ground, I found that this young man was actually Baron Billier!
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.
"This guy has such a big opinion about me and our chamber of commerce all day long, but he still can't resist the temptation of the magic rubber car, so he bought one. ā
Xu Yi squatted down and slapped Baron Bilier twice on the face, Baron Bilier frowned slightly, hummed a few times, opened his eyes and woke up.
Seeing that it was Xu Yi at a glance, Baron Bilier suddenly waited for his eyes.
"How are you?"
As soon as Baron Billier opened his mouth, Xu Yi suddenly felt a strong smell of wine rushing to his face, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Why can't it be me? Baron Billier, sue you, you are in trouble." ā
Baron Billier turned his head with difficulty to look at the overturned magic car, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and when he turned his head to look at Xu Yi, his expression immediately turned sharp, and he snorted: "Trouble? Hmph, even if it hits the car you drive, what kind of accident can it be? President Xu, I've told you many times, don't take yourself too seriously." You're just a humble businessman, what right do you have to be so arrogant in front of me?"
Xu Yihe laughed: "Okay, I am indeed just a humble small businessman, but do you dare to look down on Her Royal Highness Severny as well?"
"Your Royal Highness?" Baron Billier was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction Xu Yi turned his head to look, and saw Sevigny, who had come out of the car, and the magic car parked in the farmland.
Seeing the pale gold color on the outside of the magic car, Baron Billier's face suddenly changed.
This pale gold magic car caused a great sensation in the aristocratic circles of Bonta City at the time, because it was the only magic car sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in other colors other than black and white, and it was also the gold that many nobles valued.
Many nobles and big businessmen who ordered the magic car expressed their hope to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that they could also get a pale gold magic car, but they were all rejected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the grounds that this was a special offering for Her Royal Highness.
So as long as they see this pale gold magic car, everyone understands that this must be the car of Her Royal Highness.
On this point, how could Baron Billier, who was extremely fond of the magic car and had asked for a pale gold magic car, not know.
Now he actually hit Her Royal Highness!
How should this matter end? (To be continued......)
