Chapter 156: What do you want to do so much
In March, the winter cold gradually fades from Bangta City, and a lot of greenery can already be seen emerging from the land in the suburban wilderness outside the city, and the wind will no longer feel the biting chill on the face, and there is even a hint of warmth under the slight drunkenness of the hot sun.
Xu Yi glanced at the village of Koror not far in front of him, pointed to the distance, drew a circle in the air, and finally pointed to the Sandy River rolling in the distance on the horizon.
"Cantona, don't worry about the fruit grove that already exists here, how you got it before, and it will be the same in the future. However, there are no fruit trees planted in this area, and all of them are planted with fruit trees. This is the future fruit production base of Bangta City, and it is better not to have other factors. In addition, if possible, the same fruit should be planted together as much as possible in the future, which is not only convenient for planting and harvesting, but also convenient for building a brand in the future. β
Xu Yi said as Cantona nodded desperately, and took out a small notebook from his arms and kept making notes.
Seeing the crooked words written on the paper by Cantona, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
After all, this Cantona used to be just an ordinary peasant, and he had not received any formal education since he was a child, and even the literacy and writing were suddenly studied after the establishment of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce last year, and the written words were of course very ugly.
However, Xu Yi appreciates his attitude very much.
Cantona has a good business acumen, a nimble brain, and a desire to learn at the age of 30.
I didn't get ahead before, because I didn't have a chance.
But since the general farmer support program provided by the TongguΓ² Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has obtained a small magic harvester. He seized the opportunity. With a small magic harvester. Within a year, a Cantona Chamber of Commerce was founded, which almost took over the harvesting of farmland in Bonta City and several nearby cities.
At the time of last autumn's harvest, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce earned more than 5,000 gold coins just by harvesting the farmland in Bonta City and several surrounding cities.
And with this money, he even came up with the extremely advanced idea of renting a large piece of farmland by himself.
When Xu Yi heard him propose this idea to himself, he almost thought that he had also crossed over from the earth.
Out of appreciation for Cantona, Xu also immediately expressed his support for Cantona's idea, and decided on this cooperation project after consulting with him. He even simply took this opportunity to propose to the Count of Satsuma the idea of industrializing the agriculture of Bonta City.
According to Xu Yi and Cantona's plan, when Cantona successfully rents farmland from the city lord's mansion, including the three villages of Coror, Kambia, and Mexico, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will mainly grow basic food crops, such as rice and wheat, in the farmland of Kambia and Mexiland.
In all suitable fields in the village of Koror, a variety of fruit trees are planted uniformly.
As for what Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is going to do, it is to determine the location of the first fruit canning factory in the village of Koror.
In this way, the combination of production and processing can be achieved, which greatly saves the cost of both parties, and is a very favorable choice for cooperation for both the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, the villagers of these three villages also benefited from this cooperation.
According to the agreement between Xu Yi and Cantona. The villagers of these three villages, as long as they have not yet entered the other chambers of commerce in Bonta City. Some of them will work as professional agricultural workers at the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, while others will work as ordinary workers in the fruit canning factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
There are nearly 2,000 villagers in the three villages, and in addition to the elderly, weak, women and children, and those who have already entered the major chambers of commerce in the city, there are still about 600 working laborers who can work normally.
Among them, more than 300 of them were the youngest and most vigorous, and all of them were asked by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, because even with the help of small farm magic machines, planting farmland is still a very much demanding job.
Moreover, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce has contracted the farmland of three villages in one go, and if he wants to complete the amount of grain that the Count of Satsuma pays to him every year, he will inevitably increase his efforts, and the frail people may not be able to stand it.
In addition, about 300 workers will work in fruit canning factories.
The work of a fruit canning factory is relatively easy, requiring only simple processes such as canning, filling, and packaging, even if the body is weaker.
In fact, workers are being recruited everywhere in Bangta City, and if these 600 or so laborers are willing to go to the city to find work, they can definitely find suitable jobs.
However, the peasants around Bonta City are still deeply influenced by the traditional ideas of the Sainz continent, and they are reluctant to leave their villages, so they prefer to stay in their villages.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Cantona Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to set up a large farm and fruit canning factory here, the farthest point of work is in the village next door, and these people are of course happy to join in.
Moreover, the commitment of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to the labor force that enters the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will also have a minimum monthly salary of more than seven gold coins, which is almost enough to cover all the income they earned in the past year of farming.
As for the workers in the fruit canning factory, although the monthly salary is slightly lower, Xu Yi also said on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that the minimum monthly salary of the workers in the fruit canning factory will not be lower than the hardware coin.
Even if the factory is ready to recruit a gatekeeper, the monthly salary will be four gold coins.
Even though Cantona was a native of the village of Kambia, his promises would still be doubted, so that work in the three villages did not go smoothly.
But as soon as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce joined, the attitudes of the villagers in these three villages immediately changed.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been established for less than two years, it is now more famous in the minds of people in Bangta City and the surrounding cities than many old chambers of commerce.
And what the new flying chamber of commerce does will always be publicized by many newspapers, including the "Bonta Daily", even if you don't read the newspaper, there will be people who read the newspaper to sue you. In addition, the billboards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for various magical machinery products can be seen everywhere in Bonta City. It's hard to think about whether you know the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Compared to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has reassured the villagers much in terms of fame and credibility.
What's more, Xu Yi still came with the people from the City Lord's Mansion and was personally recognized by the City Lord.
In the eyes of these ordinary villagers, the city lord is simply a god-like being, as long as it is something that the city lord approves, the villagers have no idea of resisting at all.
Therefore, Xu Yi, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, made a simple negotiation with the villagers of these three villages, and it was immediately unanimously approved, so that the cooperation project could be carried out very smoothly.
Because of this, Cantona has even more respect for Xu Yi in his mind. As long as it is about this cooperation project, it can almost be called a matter of words.
Seeing that Cantona had memorized all the points he had said, Xu Yi nodded and walked with him towards the distant village of Koror.
Before I entered the village, I smelled a fragrance blowing in the wind from afar.
Xu Yi took a deep breath, felt the refreshing breath brought by this fragrance, and showed a hint of nostalgia.
"It's been a long time since I've smelled it. The last time I ate canned fruit made of rock sugar was at least 20 years ago......"
"Twenty years ago?" asked Cantonadi, who was on the side, "President Xu, you were less than ten years old twenty years ago, and there were people who could make canned fruit at that time, and why had I never heard of such a good thing?" Supposedly, it would have spread a long time ago. β
Xu Yi suddenly woke up to the fact that he had just smelled the aroma of boiled fruit. But he accidentally slipped his mouth.
"I ate it in my hometown, and only an old grandfather could make it, and I learned it from him because I thought it was delicious. Xu also explained vaguely.
"Oh......" Cantona didn't doubt it, but said with some regret, "If only this method had been spread earlier, the fruits of our villages wouldn't have to rot in the ground and no one would eat them." β
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Don't worry." I can guarantee that it won't be long before the fruits from Bonta City can be shipped to other places on the continent of Sainz, even if there is no need for canned fruit, so that people from other countries can also eat fresh Bonta City fruits. β
"How is this possible?" Cantona clearly didn't believe. "Not to mention other countries, it will take several days to transport it from here to Anweimar City, and if it is really transported, I am afraid it will be broken down long ago. β
"Don't believe it?" Xu Yi smiled mysteriously. "Then we'll see. β
Seeing Xu Yi walking ahead with confident steps, Cantona couldn't help but shake his head.
Although he spent a lot of time in contact with Xu Yi during this time, the more he came into contact with Xu Yi, the more Cantona found that he could not understand his thoughts, let alone keep up with his train of thought.
If Xu Yi only left him with the impression of a young, energetic, far-sighted and courageous president of a large chamber of commerce at the beginning, then now in the eyes of Cantona, Xu Yi is becoming more and more unfathomable.
If it had been someone who had told Cantona that the fruit could be shipped to another country on the mainland before it rotted, Cantona would have retorted without thinking that he must be talking nonsense.
However, when Xu Yi said this, although Cantona didn't believe it at first, the thoughts in his mind turned, remembering the miracle created by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in more than a year, which brought great changes to Bonta City and several surrounding cities, but he couldn't help but start to believe it.
Since Chairman Xu said that it can be done, then even if it can't be done now, it will definitely be able to be done in the future!
Thinking of this, Cantona suddenly slapped his head hard.
Why should a small person like him guess the mind of a big man like President Xu?
It's better to follow behind President Xu and work hard to do what you want to do, and you will naturally be able to make money by relying on the big tree of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, Cantona grinned, and hurriedly quickened his pace, keeping up with Xu Yi in front. (To be continued......)
