More than a month has passed since the New Year of 3782 in the continent's new calendar, and the people on the Sainz continent have long since gotten rid of the New Year's carnival and returned to their normal life.

But for the people of Bonta City, it seems that at the beginning of this year, Bang Ta City has begun to see some changes.

After Earl Stark became the lord of the city last year, he vigorously promoted the policy of suppressing commerce and promoting agriculture, and targeted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce everywhere, which almost reduced all commercial activities in Bonta City to zero.

However, at the beginning of this year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce held a press conference in Bangta City, announcing that this year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will still vigorously develop various new magic machines and continue to work hard to improve the lives of people in Bangta City.

Originally, everyone thought that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was so high-profile in Bangta City, and Count Stark would definitely act and react, but to everyone's surprise, Count Stark not only did not suppress the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again as everyone imagined, but publicly stated in the "Bangta Daily" that the agricultural development of Bangta City is inseparable from the help of the farmland magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and hopes that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will make greater efforts to develop new farmland magic machinery to promote the further development of agriculture in Bangta City.

As soon as this issue of the Bonta Daily came out, it was immediately sold out, and everyone expressed great consternation at the situation.

Because judging from the situation last year, Count Stark has clearly formed a mortal enmity with Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there is no room for relaxation at all.

But now that Earl Stark has made such a statement, doesn't it mean that the two have released their previous suspicions, but are about to start working together?

What happened next. As if further proof of everyone's speculation.

The day after Earl Stark's statement to the Daily Bunta was published. Smira Porter, president of the Porter Chamber of Commerce, announced in the Bonta Daily that the construction of a canal connecting the Sandy River to the Rum River had been restarted. The Porter Chamber of Commerce will recruit a large number of suitable workers throughout the city of Bonta to dig and open the canal.

This canal project was previously undertaken by the Count of Satsuma when he was still the lord of the city, and was jointly undertaken by the Xu Yiti yì, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amrley Chamber of Commerce.

Later, when Earl Stark became the lord of the city, the construction of the canal was put on hold indefinitely on the grounds that the canal project had not been thoroughly examined and that it was a waste of the city's labor and taxes.

Now that the Potter Chamber of Commerce has announced the resumption of the canal project in a high-profile manner, neither Earl Stark nor the City Lord's Mansion has expressed any objection to this, which already means that Earl Stark's attitude seems to have loosened.

And not long after that. The Bonta Daily newspaper published even more alarming information, that is, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will open an agricultural fertilizer plant in the former Sanchitton Industrial Zone.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will go back to Sanchiton Industrial Zone to open a factory is enough to shock everyone, because in everyone's opinion, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was so suppressed by Count Stark last year, and it should never return to Bangta City in the future, but now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only reopened the factory, but even announced to everyone through the guò "Bangta Daily" that this agricultural fertilizer factory was actually built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce under the special instruction of the city lord's mansion!

Everyone was a little confused about what was going on, did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce do this to show that they were subduing the City Lord's Mansion?

But that's not the case. Because according to the report of the daily newspaper Bonta, this agricultural fertilizer factory does not seem to have anything to do with the city lord's mansion. It was completely built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So does that mean...... What deal did Xu Yi and Earl Stark make in secret?

That's kind of incredible......

While speculating about Xu Yi and Earl Stark's secret deal, everyone also expressed strong interest in this so-called "fertilizer".

According to the introduction of "chemical fertilizer" in the "Bonta Daily", this "chemical fertilizer" is something that is used to improve the land environment and increase food production.

This made everyone a little unconvinced, isn't it true that the amount of grain to be produced on a piece of land has been determined a long time ago, and why does the sprinkling of this chemical fertilizer increase the yield? This is also too nonsense.

However, out of the consistent trust in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, everyone has stayed on the sidelines for the time being.

However, within a few days, an order from the City Lord's Mansion once again made the entire Bangta City boil.

"What kind of fertilizer did you force us to buy this?What did we, the new city lord, think?" Sakchi glanced at Cantona, who was sitting across from him with a smile on his face, and seemed to be confident, and asked, "Hey, Cantona, what the hell are you talking about? Could it really be that President Xu has turned around and joined the Stark family now, as others say?"

Cantona had wanted to stay on the sidelines and observe everyone's reactions, but now when he heard Sack's question, he couldn't calm down.

"What nonsense?Daddy Sack, I always thought you knew better than those guys, how could you believe such nonsense?" Cantona pouted in dissatisfaction. "Although President Xu has reached an agreement with Earl Stark, what does this have to do with his defection to the Stark family? According to what I said, it is clear that President Xu has turned our city lord against him. ”

Father Sakchi shook his head: "I don't bother to take care of their big people's affairs, so why do you tell me why the City Lord's Mansion forced every peasant in our Bangta City to buy fertilizer? ”

"Come on, how much money can ordinary peasants have? Cantona said with a smile: "Okay, let's be honest, this fertilizer is really a good thing, you can sprinkle it according to the cultivation instructions issued by the city lord's mansion when the time comes, I dare to guarantee that it will be much stronger than before when it is harvested." ”

"Is there such a spirit?" said Sakchi and several other representatives of the villagers who had been summoned by Cantona, looking at Cantona suspiciously.

"Of course!" Cantona nodded affirmatively. "You should know that I just came back from the Duchy of Stantin......, right?

"Ah, isn't it still winter, how can you harvest rice?" asked a farmer in surprise.

"Stupid, I told you that this is the Duchy of Stantin, and the climate of that place is different from ours. Am I right, Cantona?" said another farmer.

"Well, the Duchy of Stantin has a mild climate all year round, and even the coldest time is about the same as spring here in us, so we can grow three crops of rice a year, and it grows very quickly. Before I came back, I had just harvested a crop of rice that had just been planted in the winter. Guess how much was harvested?"

Seeing Cantona's pretended mysterious expression, everyone knew that the number must be much higher than normal.

Sakchi pondered for a moment and said: "According to the standards of Kalmar City, one hectare of rice is about two tons to be harvested, looking at your appearance, it must be much higher than this, then I count you as three tons per hectare." Is that so?"

"No, it's higher than that. Cantona smiled and shook her head. "Hello to you, in the more than 20,000 hectares of fields reclaimed this year, a total of more than 70,000 tons of rice have been harvested, with an average of nearly four tons per hectare!"

"No, it won't!"

"How is that possible!"

"Just kidding!"

......

All the peasants, including Sakchi, stood up in shock.

For those of them who have been working in the fields for many years, the amount of food that can be produced in the fields is very small.

Sachchi's guess that two tons can be produced in one acre of field is already a very bold guess, because even in Kalmar City, where rice cultivation is more developed, only about two tons of rice can be harvested in one hectare of rice fields.

And to reach this number, it has to be a good harvest year, which is very difficult to achieve under normal circumstances.

"Why am I kidding you. Sue you, that's the power of fertilizer. In the more than 20,000 hectares of fields that have been reclaimed, we have all used the latest chemical fertilizers developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the effect is very good. If you don't believe me, go and ask the people who have passed from here in our city of Bonta. ”

"They are all in the Duchy of Stantin now, can we still go so far to ask?" Sakchi snorted and asked again, "Okay, Cantona, I believe in you, and I believe in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and President Xu even more." Since this fertilizer is so useful, then we can mobilize the farmers of Bunta City to use it. But Cantona, can you tell me why this fertilizer works so well?"

"Yes, let us know what's going on, and it's easy to tell people when we go and tell them. ”

"That is, if this fertilizer is really so easy to use, why didn't the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce take it out earlier?"

......

"Hey, do you still want to blame President Xu?" Cantona glared at the group. "Tell you, this fertilizer is the secret recipe that President Xu finally got from the elven clan. You shouldn't have any doubts about the elves' ability to grow plants, right?"

"Elves?" everyone looked at each other, and at the same time showed a look of surprise.

This kind of thing would make them suspicious if it was explained in any other way, but if it was a secret recipe obtained from the elves, no one would doubt it anymore.

After all, the elves are a race with a history of tens of thousands of years, much longer than humans, and everyone knows that the elves are extremely good at symbiosis with plants, and even can grow a forest out of thin air in a wasteland where there is nothing, so it is not too unusual to make something to promote the growth of rice.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Cantona shook his head and sighed in his heart.

In his opinion, Xu Yi must have paid a great price to be able to obtain such an important secret recipe from the elf clan.

And as far as he knows, in this fertilizer factory, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually don't make any money, and the entire factory is mainly controlled by the elves, and Xu Yi has made so much effort to solve this problem of cost, just for the sake of the farmers in Bangta City.

However, even so, he still has to be subjected to the unwarranted suspicion of these ordinary peasants in Bonta City, which is really unworthy for him. (To be continued......)
