Because of the large-scale popularization of farmland magic machinery, this year's spring ploughing in Bangta City ended exceptionally quickly.

In less than a week, all the farmland in the city of Bonta was harvested and cultivated.

According to the statistics of the city lord's office, the total wheat output in Bangta City this year was 630,000 tons, which was only 60,000 tons higher than last year's autumn harvest, but nearly double the 360,000 tons after the end of last year's spring ploughing.

The reason why there is no large improvement compared to last year's autumn harvest is that after the whole year of reclamation last year, basically all the usable farmland in Bangta City has been reclaimed, and there is not much room for improvement except for improving farming technology.

However, this production is still extremely exaggerated.

Bonta City is a small city, and the area under its jurisdiction is basically the lowest in the Lampari Kingdom, but since the autumn harvest of the previous year, the total grain production of Bangta City has begun to grow explosively.

By the time of the autumn harvest last year, it had already surpassed many cities about the same size as Bonta City, or even much larger than Bonta City.

At the time of spring ploughing last year, the wheat output of 360,000 tons was already among the highest among all the wheat-based cities in the Lampari Kingdom.

Waiting for the autumn harvest last year, Bangta City actually harvested 570,000 tons of wheat in one go, becoming the city that harvested the most wheat in the Lampari Kingdom, which attracted the attention of everyone in the Kingdom, and was even named by His Majesty the King and the Agricultural Department to commend the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for making the greatest contribution to it, and promoted the president Xu Yi to the Baron of the Kingdom, making him the only person in the Lampari Kingdom who is officially recognized as a special person with the status of a nobleman and a businessman.

"It's a pity. Although the results of spring ploughing this year have also increased. That's good. But this achievement can't make you take your knighthood one step further and become a viscount. Count Satsuma looked at the report in his hand and smiled at Xu Yi. "In addition, this year, the grain production of all cities in the kingdom has increased significantly, and although the 630,000 tons of wheat production in our Bangta city is still the top, it is not as prominent as other cities. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a knighthood, my purpose in developing the Farmland Magic Machinery was originally to hope that everyone in the kingdom would be able to eat enough. Now that all the cities in the kingdom have seen a significant increase in food production, I think this goal has been achieved. Xu Yi smiled.

"Well, it's been reached, so to speak. Count Satsuma nodded. According to the statistics of the Department of Agriculture. This year, the kingdom's entire grain production will not only be sufficient to meet the needs of all the people in the kingdom, but will even have a large surplus. This is the first time since the establishment of our Lampari Kingdom that His Majesty is extremely happy about it. If it weren't for the people of the noble senate, he would have really been ready to give you another rank of knighthood. ”

Speaking of this, Count Satsuma frowned slightly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Those old guys, they're so stubborn. What other credit can be compared to the great merit of solving the problem of feeding all the people? It is just an additional title, and they still have to oppose it, and they really don't know the current affairs. ”

Xu Yi hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "City Lord." You don't have to be angry about that. I don't care about knighthoods or anything, it really doesn't matter if I add it or not. Anyway, my goal was achieved. Then I'm satisfied. Now that the basic food and clothing of all the people has been solved, the next step is to work to improve the living standards of all the people in our kingdom. If everyone in the kingdom can have an income level like the residents of Bangta City, where they can have extra income to buy other goods while ensuring food and clothing, then it will be the greatest help to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

"It's not that easy to achieve. Count Satsuma shook his head slowly. "The reason why our Bangta City has been able to develop so fast is entirely because of the emergence of you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which has led to the development of the whole city. Now, not only all the residents of Bang Ta City have good jobs, but even the residents of neighboring cities can find jobs here and increase their income levels, all because of the fact that there are a large number of jobs in Bang Ta City that are in urgent need of manpower under the leadership of your new flying chamber of commerce. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Bunta City to develop so fast. ”

Xu Yi hurriedly smiled modestly and said, "City Lord, you are too awarded. I just did what I wanted to do and what I should have done, and your wise leadership is the key to Bonta City's rapid growth. ”

"Don't slap my ass. Count Satsuma scolded with a smile, picked up another report in his hand, and glanced at it, his face full of embarrassment. "Two years ago, Bangta City's fiscal revenue was only a hundred thousand gold coins, but now only two years have passed, and last year's fiscal revenue reached more than one million gold coins, which has increased more than ten times. Now I have in my hand the tax statistics of the whole city of Bangta last month, and in the last month alone, Bangta City collected a whopping 570,000 gold coins in taxes. According to this trend, this year's fiscal revenue for the whole year is even much higher than last year's. ”

"So, this is the result of your wise and wise leadership, Lord Castle Lord. Xu Yi said with a smile.

Count Satsuma glanced at Xu Yi and snorted, "Are you forcing me to praise you?" Of the 570,000 gold coin taxes collected last month, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone paid 280,000, accounting for almost half. I don't think you have to wait for two years, and now your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become the number one Chamber of Commerce in our Bangta City. ”

"How is that possible. Xu Yi waved his hand again and again. "Lord of the City, you can't talk nonsense. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still a small Chamber of Commerce, and it is entirely because of your strong support from the City Lord that we have come to this point. Now we are still far from the old big chambers of commerce in the city, and you must continue to support us, Lord of the city. ”

"If these words are heard by President Ranko, believe it or not, you will be angry to death?" Count Satsuma glanced at Xu Yi, suddenly turned his head to look out the window, looked at it in a daze for a long time, and sighed: "It's a pity, even if I want to continue to support you, I can't help it." ”

Xu Yi was stunned: "City Lord, what do you mean by this?"

Count Satsuma turned his mind to look at Xu Yi, and said, "I called you over today, not to praise you, but to inform you in advance, in two months, I will leave here." ”

"Leave?" Xu Yi was stunned. "Where are you going?"

"According to the arrangement of the Kingdom Council, I will be transferred to the city of Sewell as the city lord next. Count Satsuma replied.

"Sewell City?" Xu Yi thought for a while, searched for the information of this city in his mind, and immediately said happily: "Isn't that the largest city in the north of the kingdom." Lord of the Castle, it seems that I am going to congratulate you. And I remember...... It seems like the city of Thurwell is still where your family's largest territory is located, which means you can go back to the place that supports you the most and let it go. ”

Count Satsuma stared at Xu Yi for a while, confirming that the joy on Xu Yi's face was definitely not fake, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "If you look at it from my point of view, this is indeed a good thing. The Royal Council has transferred me back to the city of Sewell, which means that my position in the kingdom has been recognized, and it is very likely that I will enter a higher level in the future. But Xu Yi, this is not necessarily a good thing for you. ”

"Really?" Xu Yi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Lord City Lord, who is the person who will take over you as the City Lord of Bangta City?"

Count Satsuma paused before replying softly, "It's Count Manil Stark." ”

"Stark?" Xu Yi's eyes widened slightly.

"Looks like you understand what I mean. The look on Count Satsuma's face became cautious. "Xu Yi, I don't need to tell you if you have any extra words, you are a smart person, you should know the meaning of this surname. ”

Xu Yi nodded with a heavy expression, was silent for a moment, and then asked Count Satsuma, "City Lord, I'm afraid it's not your intention to leave here, right?"

"You are indeed a smart man. Count Satsuma nodded slightly, a wry smile on his face. "Even if it's me, a lot of the time it's involuntary. ”

Xu Yi thought quietly for a while, and suddenly laughed again.

"Lord Castle, I don't think there's anything to worry about. No matter who becomes the lord of the city, the primary purpose is to develop and grow the city of Bangta, isn't it? Since everyone has the same purpose, there will always be the possibility of cooperation. ”

Count Satsuma couldn't help but laugh and said, "You actually want to talk to an earl? ”

Xu Yi smiled: "From my businessman's point of view, anyone will inevitably have the interests he pursues, and they can talk about cooperation." Not to mention an earl, even if it is His Majesty the King, it will not be an exception. ”

Count Satsuma shook his head: "Then we can only hope that you will have a good time working with this Count Manil Stark." ”

Xu Yi discussed the next work arrangements with Count Satsuma again.

There are many cooperation projects between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the City Lord's Mansion, and even now the overall renovation plan of Bangta City is managed by Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, if Count Satsuma leaves, these cooperation projects are bound to be greatly affected.

Since the new Earl Manil Stark is from the Stark family, even if he treats Xu Yi with such a complete trust, Count Satsuma.

What Count Satsuma and Xu Yi have to do now is to hand over all the remaining things in the remaining two months.

After roughly discussing a clue and work steps, it was already nightfall when Xu Yi left the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at the stars in the night sky, Xu Yi thought for a while, hurried home in a carriage, and wrote two letters on his desk, which were addressed to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Severny and Viscount Leslie on the northern border. (To be continued......)
