The crowd was silent.
Everyone looked at Xu Yi in a daze, wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes?
This fellow was clearly participating in the Primary Grade exam like them, so why was it that with a raise of his hand, he could send a genius examiner who was at least a Fourth Grade Magician flying?
Xu Yi looked at Eren who wasn't moving under the stage and gave a cold laugh.
This kid's magic power wasn't bad, but his mental endurance and ability to resist attacks were too weak. Although this fireball of his was a fourth-grade fire spell, Thunder Splitting Fireball, and its power was formidable, but since he had already propped up a second-grade water ripple spell as a defense, this fireball couldn't possibly cause much damage to him.
However, this kid had actually fainted like this, he must have fainted from the shock.
"Magic genius?" Xu Yi shook his head. He turned to the arbitrator under the stage and asked, "Does this count as me passing?"
The arbitrator had an ugly expression as he looked at Eren who had been lifted up by the staff of the Sorcerers Guild before looking at Xu Yi. After calming himself down, he gave a slight nod.
Xu Yi had sent the examiner flying in front of all these people, so if this wasn't considered passing, what would be considered passing?
"Very good."
Xu Yi had obtained the result he wanted, so he wasn't prepared to waste any more time here. After coming off the stage, he patted the stunned Erwin and gave him a few words of encouragement before leaving the exam room. He didn't return to Anvilmar City, but rather went further out of the city.
After walking for less than five kilometers, there was a flat field in front of him.
When they were still far away, they could hear the endless rumbling of machinery coming from the field.
When they came a bit closer, they could see that in this five to six mu field, there were currently three magic machines working. The field was filled with holes and looked like it was in ruins.
There were several people around each magic machine. They were following the magic machines while writing something down in their notebooks.
There was a young man and a young woman standing by the field, pointing at the magic machines in the field as they discussed in a low voice.
"Hey, mister Harvey, young miss Seveni, you've already inspected it all day, have you come to any conclusions?" Xu Yi loudly called out to the two by the field.
These two were the officials from the agriculture department who had come to Xu Yi yesterday to ask Xu Yi to show them how the agricultural magic machines worked.
After Xu Yi agreed yesterday, the two of them quickly found some people to take the six agricultural magic machines that Xu Yi brought out of Anvilmar City and brought them to the experimental field they had prepared ahead of time.
Since yesterday afternoon, the two of them had been inspecting these magic machines the entire time, they hadn't relaxed at all. It showed just what Harvey said to Xu Yi, the importance of the agriculture department's.
"Chairman Xu, good afternoon."
Harvey waved his hand at Xu Yi. His attitude was even more enthusiastic compared to yesterday and there was a trace of excitement in his voice.
"Although we haven't come to a conclusion yet, I'm certain that Chairman Xu is completely right. I was completely shocked by the might of these machines!
Look ….. "Harvey pointed at the large piece of farmland in front of him.
"For such a large piece of land, I only used three people to operate three machines. In less than a day, I actually finished the work of loosening the soil, digging the ditches, and leaving the ridges.
If this was purely done with manpower, to finish it in the same amount of time, it would take at least twenty adult labourers! "
The female official named Seveni on the side also gave a slight nod, "Chairman Xu, I now understand why Count Samo placed so much importance on you and the New Flyer.
The abilities of these agricultural magic machines are indeed outstanding, being able to complete such heavy work with just three machines. If they could be popularized, we would be able to open up many barren lands in the kingdom and greatly increase the kingdom's grain yield.
If this could be realized, perhaps there wouldn't be a famine in the kingdom in the future! "
After saying this, Seveni who had always been calm in Xu Yi's mind was actually a bit excited.
Xu Yi gave a slight nod, "This is the goal that New Flyer and I are pursuing.
Mister Harvey, young miss Seveni, it's a good thing that his majesty is wise and has given you two full responsibility for this matter. Otherwise, if it was given to someone like Lord Fisher, I doubt that this matter would have come to a premature end and we wouldn't have been able to achieve the result that I wanted. "
Harvey revealed a faint smile. How could he not hear that Xu Yi was giving them another warning. He said with a nod, "Chairman Xu, please be assured.
Agriculture is the foundation of the kingdom, so anything that can increase the grain yield will receive his majesty's close attention.
This matter will be directly reported to his majesty by the two of us, no one else is allowed to meddle.
If there are other people like Lord Fisher who come to give you orders, you can directly ignore them. "
Xu Yi slightly knit his brows, "This might be very hard. I am only a small merchant without any status, I don't have the support of his majesty like you.
If I offend someone, it would be a problem if I can safely leave Anvilmar City. "
Harvey and Seveni looked at each other before revealing smiles.
"Chairman Xu, you don't need to worry about this at all.
Everyone knows that you are about to see his majesty, so no one will cause trouble for you at this time.
After you meet His Majesty the King, I assure you that no one will find trouble with you.
Of course, this is on the premise that you can cooperate with us in the future. "
The last sentence was a hidden warning.
Xu Yi thought about it before asking, "Alright, mister Harvey, I'll believe your promise for now.
But the cooperation you mentioned ….. Can I ask what your plans are?
How do you want me to cooperate with you? "
"This … …" Harvey was silent for a bit before looking at Seveni and saying with a serious look, "Chairman Xu, we should discuss this after you see his majesty, but since you're asking now, I might as well tell you a bit first.
We hope that you can give us the technology for the agricultural magic machines and help our agriculture department build a factory that specializes in producing agricultural magic machines, until we can popularize these agricultural magic machines across the kingdom. "
Hearing this, Xu Yi was filled with anger.
It seemed like no matter what world the politicians were from, they were all shameless.
Compared to Harvey, the faces of those fellows from Banta City's Business Union were much better.
"Can I ask, what benefits can my New Flyer and I obtain from this matter?" Xu Yi asked.
"Chairman Xu has invested this much in this matter, of course his majesty will give you enough compensation."
Harvey wasn't surprised by Xu Yi's question and replied with a smile, "If the plan succeeds, his majesty will give you a special award. This means that as long as you help us complete this plan, you will be rid of your identity as a commoner and become a noble."
"It's like this?"
Harvey looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Chairman Xu, becoming a noble from a commoner, this is the dream of many people.
You have to know, other than in times of war, there won't be a special award in normal situations. "
Xu Yi gave a sigh. He pointed at the magic machines in the field and asked Harvey, "Do you know how much a magic machine costs?"
Harvey and Seveni were stunned, clearly never thinking that Xu Yi would suddenly change the topic.
"This ….. Sorry, I don't know." Harvey thought about it before honestly shaking his head.
"A small Magic Excavator costs fifty eight gold coins.
A small Harvester costs seventy gold coins.
A small Plowing Machine costs sixty five gold coins.
A small Bulldozer costs sixty gold coins.
One … … "
Xu Yi introduced them while observing their expressions.
As he introduced them one by one, Harvey and Seveni's expressions became more and more ugly.
When Xu Yi finished introducing them all, the smiles on their faces had already disappeared.
Seeing the silent two, Xu Yi revealed a smile before continuing, "Banta City is only a small city in the kingdom and our New Flyer has already sold over a hundred agricultural magic machines. If this number is calculated for the entire kingdom, I think it isn't a problem to sell over ten thousand units.
Even if each agricultural magic machine only brings a single gold coin profit to our New Flyer, that is still a large profit of over ten thousand US dollars.
But mister Harvey, according to the cooperation plan you just mentioned, is it equal to me giving up these profits and only getting a title in name? "
"No, you will also obtain the favour of his majesty." Harvey quickly said.
"I think that this should be very important to you and New Flyer, right?"
Xu Yi looked at him with a ghost of a smile. When he saw his face turn red, he said, "Mister Harvey, we aren't children anymore, so let's not waste words.
My idea is very simple, let us cooperate with the Agriculture Department and help the Agriculture Department with their plan, improving the kingdom's grain yield and letting everyone eat. This isn't a problem, I also have the same idea.
But in return, my company and I must receive corresponding compensation.
If this compensation doesn't satisfy me, then I can only say sorry.
Perhaps the Agriculture Department's plan is very good, but compared to this, I might as well do it myself.
Mister Harvey, I think that you won't doubt that our New Flyer's farmer support plan can be implemented in the kingdom, right? "

Looking over the book out of habit, he felt like his eyes had been blinded.
Ah, if it wasn't for this persistent book friend, I just found out that you were a crazy fan of likes a few days ago. I was thinking about when I should thank you and now you're giving me 8888 gold coins … …
Alright, I'll continue to be flattered.
I also have to thank book friend Sun Baiqing for his reward, DeL58 votes (Why are they split?),
As well as the votes of Everyday Rain, Bright Sky Star, Fatty Xu, Sun Baiqing, qiyuming33, ylfox, and the other book friends.
Although the subscriptions weren't that great right now, seeing all these people supporting him, he was very motivated.
