This fertilizer factory was actually the project that Xu Yi discussed with the Moon Shadow Tribe's elder Lisanya when he went to the Principality of Constantine last time.
Xu Yi suggested to elder Lisanya that they could use the special research of the elves to develop a material that could promote the growth of crops, which would definitely be welcomed by the humans.
Elder Lisanya agreed to Xu Yi's idea after considering it and used several months to develop this material.
Strictly speaking, this thing couldn't be considered a standard fertilizer because the raw materials used were all natural plant materials. It was also processed using the special magic of the elves, as well as some auxiliary magic machines designed by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to fill it.
But Xu Yi was used to the term fertilizer from earth, so he proposed the concept of fertilizer when discussing it with elder Lisanya. Elder Lisanya naturally didn't care about this name, so they decided on it in the end.
When Xu Yi and elder Lisanya discussed this, they were planning on opening a fertilizer factory in the Principality of Constantine as a base for their initial cooperation, but elder Lisanya took the initiative to mention to Xu Yi that she wanted to open it in the Lampari Kingdom.
So after some time of preparation, after Xu Yi made connections with various people, this fertilizer factory that was like the Night Song Festival's plastic processing factory that was under the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's name was reopened in Sandton Manor.
The reason why it was decided on Sandton Manor and not the Falling Rain Valley was because one, elder Lisanya wanted it to be closer to human society. Two, the fertilizer produced by the elves was all natural, so it didn't create any pollution. Even the smell of the fertilizer produced was very clean, so it was much better than the fertilizer factories on earth.
When bringing Seveni and the three reporters from the « Banta Times » to tour the fertilizer factory, Xu Yi didn't explain the differences to them. He just answered some questions that they were more concerned about, like the output.
"Last month's output was eighty seven thousand tons and this month's output might be over a hundred thousand tons."
Xu Yi pointed at the busy fertilizer production line and introduced it, "Based on the current situation, before the fall harvest, not only can this fertilizer factory satisfy the needs of Banta City, it can also produce a portion to sell to other places."
"Don't sell the extra part to other places, just keep it as a stockpile for now."
Seveni said, "If Chairman Xu is worried about losses, I can buy the extra part on behalf of the City Lord Manor at the price set by your company."
"Your highness is treating me like an outsider. As long as it is your request, of course I will follow it.
But your highness, in another two months, it will be time for the fall harvest. It's best if you make arrangements for Banta City's fall plowing ahead of time because the fertilizer has to be used with the seeds for the best results. "
"No problem, I'm already planning it." Seveni nodded.
Seveni nodded, "After all, agriculture is the foundation of our Banta City, we can't be careless at all."
The three reporters focused on recording their conversation were surprised at the same time. After looking at each other, one of the older reporters hesitated a bit before asking Seveni, "Your highness, you mean ….. You're the same as Count Stark, placing importance on Banta City's agriculture development?"
"Of course." Seveni nodded without any hesitation.
Seveni nodded without any hesitation, "Agriculture is the most fundamental thing.
In a situation where we can't even fill our stomachs, it's a waste of time to consider anything else. So no matter what, we have to prioritize agriculture development.
The reason why I came to this fertilizer factory today is to show my attitude. "
The three reporters were stunned as their expressions became a bit ugly.
The reporter who asked the question just now knit his brows to think before asking, "Your highness, can I understand that you're planning on adopting the same policy as Count Stark? Prioritizing agriculture and suppressing business?"
After asking this question, the three reporters nervously looked at Seveni without blinking.
According to everyone's calculations, because of her highness Seveni's support for Xu Yi and the New Flyer, it wasn't easy for her to succeed Count Stark as Banta City's City Lord. She would definitely change Count Count Stark's policy this year and fully support Xu Yi and the New Flyer, prioritizing business development in Banta City again.
So in the month that her highness Seveni was the City Lord, the companies of Banta City had become active again, making Banta City prosperous again in just a single month.
But if her highness Seveni suddenly announced that she would follow the same policy as Count Stark, it would be like a bolt from the blue for the companies that had become active again. It would definitely be a large blow.
The more serious thing was that the companies of Banta City would lose all hope and they would no longer have any hope for Banta City.
If it became like this, it was very likely that Banta City would decline even more than before the Frestech Chamber of Commerce appeared.
As locals of Banta City and as reporters who had personally witnessed the development of Banta City in the « Banta Times », of course they weren't willing to see this situation.
Seeing the worried and nervous gazes of the three, Seveni revealed a faint smile and shook her head, "No, why do you think that developing agriculture means suppressing business development?
In my opinion, these two aren't contradictory and can be combined to develop together. It would even be faster than developing on its own. "
The three reporters were stunned. The older reporter couldn't help asking, "Your highness, do you think this is possible?"
"Why isn't it possible?" Seveni raised a slender finger to point at the busy fertilizer workshop.
Seveni raised her finger and pointed at the things in front of you, isn't this the best proof of combining agriculture and business development? "
The three reporters turned to look at the workshop and seeing the bags of fertilizer being filled, they instantly understood.
That's right, this fertilizer factory was strictly a business, but the fertilizer it produced was very beneficial to agricultural development.
The spring plowing from a few months ago had proven the large effect of fertilizer on agriculture, so no one could deny the importance of this fertilizer factory to Banta City's agricultural development. There were even many people who called for the New Flyer to invest more in this fertilizer factory. It would be best if they could produce more fertilizer, allowing every inch of land in the Lampari Kingdom to use this good thing.
"Other than this fertilizer factory, I feel that the canned fruit factory that the New Flyer opened in Koror Village is also very useful to agricultural production.
When you mention agricultural production, the first thing you think of is wheat and rice, but in my opinion, as long as it's a crop, it is an important part of agricultural production. "
Seveni said, "After personally witnessing the powerful effects of the fertilizer, I'm certain that the people of Banta City won't need to worry about filling their stomachs. From now on, we should work hard for a better life!"
Seeing the confident expression on Seveni's face, the three reporters were stunned. They turned to look at Xu Yi and found that Xu Yi also had a confident smile on his face.
The three of them instantly understood.
It seemed like not only did her highness not suppress Banta City's business development like Count Stark, she had a deep discussion with Chairman Xu and was already considering the long term.
Compared to Count Stark's short sighted method of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, there was no doubt that her highness' method was much better.
This fertilizer factory wasn't big, so Xu Yi didn't take long to finish touring it with Seveni and the three reporters.
When the tour was over, the morning wasn't over yet. Xu Yi invited Seveni and the three reporters to have lunch with him as the host, but he was rejected by the three reporters.
Her highness clearly wanted to stay alone with Chairman Xu to discuss some things that couldn't be announced, so wouldn't they be an eyesore if they stayed?
As the reporters of the « Banta Times », how could they not have good eyesight and flexibility?
So the three reporters used the excuse of going back to summarize their report to reject Xu Yi's invitation and left the factory.
After sending the three reporters off, Xu Yi invited Seveni into the office of the factory.
When she closed the door, Seveni's straight body suddenly softened. It was like she had lost all her strength as she slumped down on the sofa in the office. She leaned back against the sofa and closed her eyes, slowly letting out a sigh.
Seeing Seveni's ruined appearance, Xu Yi couldn't help smiling. He poured a cup of water in front of her before sitting down in front of her and asking with a smile, "What?
Is it this tiring to tour a small factory? "
Seveni didn't reply. After a while, she opened her eyes and sat up again. Taking a sip of the water, she let out a sigh and revealed a faint smile again. She shook her head at Xu Yi and said, "The tour isn't tiring, but acting is.
How about it, Xu Yi, was my performance good today? "
Xu Yi laughed and gave Seveni a thumbs up, "Very good.
Seveni, I feel that you can compete for the Best Female Lead Oscar. "
"Best actress Oscar?" Seveni was confused.
Seveni was confused, "What is that?"
"Ke ….. It's nothing, it's just an award for the best actress, showing that she acted the best." Xu Yi gave a vague explanation before quickly changing the topic.
"But today's show is just the beginning. Since you've already announced your policy through the « Banta Times », you have to follow this policy in the future. Otherwise, you'll have wasted three years in Banta City."
Seveni revealed a faint smile with a determined look on her face.
"I will."
