Watching Seveni get into the horse carriage with the City Lord Manor's symbol, Xu Yi waved his hand at Seveni who poked her head out of the window. Then he watched the horse carriage carrying Seveni off in the direction of Banta City in a daze, falling into deep thought.
According to the decision of the king through the Royal Parliament, whether it was her highness Seveni or his highness Eric, they would be Banta City's City Lord and Lorren City's City Lord for three years.
After three years, they would leave no matter how well they did in the City Lord position, so they would only have three years to show their abilities.
If they couldn't show results in these three years and prove themselves to everyone, they would be at a great disadvantage in the competition for the throne.
Of course, if they could show good results, it would be equal to adding a large chip for themselves.
Xu Yi didn't understand the situation in Lorren City and didn't care about what his highness Eric planned to do, but he supported her highness Seveni from the bottom of his heart. So since Seveni came to Banta City, he met with Seveni almost every day and discussed things with her.
Other than helping her understand Banta City, he also gave her various suggestions.
Seveni had a very good advantage, which was that Count Stark hadn't been Banta City's City Lord for long, so he hadn't had time to infiltrate every part of Banta City. Compared to Satsuma Count who had been Banta City's City Lord for over ten years, his influence couldn't compare.
Although Satsuma Count had already left Banta City, he had a deep foundation here and he supported Seveni. So after Seveni took the City Lord position, because of her relationship with Satsuma Count, she could easily control the situation in Banta City, allowing her ideas to be easily carried out.
Adding in Xu Yi's support and the New Flyer's strong influence in all aspects of Banta City, Seveni was much more relaxed.
The policy of combining agriculture and business was something that Seveni and Xu Yi had decided on after discussing it.
No matter what, agriculture was the foundation of the Lampari Kingdom. Even if Seveni cared about Banta City's business development, she couldn't abandon agriculture, so she had to show that she cared about it.
But Seveni also knew how important business was to Banta City, so naturally she couldn't do something like Count Stagg to suppress business and promote agriculture.
So Xu Yi's proposal to change agriculture to a large scale, as well as including all other crops other than wheat and rice, had received Seveni's approval. Then using this chance today, she cooperated with Xu Yi and put on a play in front of the three reporters of the « Banta Times », revealing this concept.
Thinking of Seveni's lazy appearance in the office, Xu Yi couldn't help smiling again.
This was his first time seeing Seveni like this.
Perhaps it was because today's matter determined what she would do for the next three years, so she felt tired and couldn't help revealing this appearance.
Of course, this also proved that she truly trusted Xu Yi, so she wouldn't act like a princess in front of Xu Yi.
Xu Yi shook his head, not knowing if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
After thinking for a bit, Xu Yi turned back to the fertilizer factory.
When he wanted to find the elven factory manager Eric to discuss the production problem, there was a medium sized Magic Car that quickly came from the distance, stopping at the gate of the factory.
When Xu Yi was about to enter the door, he turned back after hearing this sound and turned to walk over.
Seeing Cantona jump out of the driver's seat, Xu Yi said with a frown, "I say, Cantona, how many times have I told you, don't be so impatient when driving, aren't you afraid of something happening?
Then again, you can't take driving like this. "
Cantona waved his hand in an uncaring manner, "It's fine, I'm already used to it, nothing will happen.
Speaking of this, Chairman Xu, when can your New Flyer make a faster Magic Car?
I've been driving for a long time now and I feel that this speed isn't satisfying enough. "
Xu Yi rolled his eyes, "Do you want me to give you an F1 car?
I guarantee that you'll be very satisfied. "
"F1 race car?" Cantona's eyes lit up.
Cantona's eyes lit up, "What car is that?
Is it fast?
How fast? "
"How fast?"
Xu Yi gave a soft snort and pointed at the end of the road in the distance, "Do you see that? The fastest F1 car. In the blink of an eye, you can go from here to there.
Don't you think it's fast? "
"Really?" Cantona excitedly raised his brows before revealing a bitter smile, "Forget it.
Chairman Xu, you must be lying to me, how could there be a Magic Car that fast?
If it really is that exaggerated, wouldn't it only take an hour to go from here to Anvilmar City? "
Xu Yi curled his lips and was too lazy to look down on him for being ignorant. He looked at the transport Magic Cars that appeared on the road in the distance and asked Cantona, "What?
You're here to bring fertilizer? "
"Right, the Principality of Constantine is about to harvest this season's rice, so I have to quickly bring the fertilizer over." Cantona said with a nod.
"Un, I haven't been there during this time, so I don't know the situation there.
Have you estimated how much rice you'll harvest this time? "
Hearing this question, Cantona immediately revealed a smile. He reached out two fingers to Xu Yi with a proud look.
"According to the estimates of the old farmers from our Banta City, it'll be at least two hundred thousand tons!"
"Oh?
That much? "Hearing this number, Xu Yi's expression changed a bit.
"Un!
That's all. "Cantona gave a strong nod of joy.
Cantona gave a happy nod, "I came back from there a few days ago and specially went to the fields to take a look. That scene, ze, ze ….. it really was too shocking!
Not to mention the rice growing in the fields, each stalk of rice had a bulging ear. It was clear with a single glance that the harvest was shockingly good. "
"Un, the land in the Principality of Constantine was already very good and adding in the fertilizer we used, we've already opened up over forty thousand hectares, so it isn't strange to have this kind of harvest."
Xu Yi looked in the direction of the Principality of Constantine before looking in the direction Seveni had left in, giving a bit of a sigh.
When he made a bet with Count Stark last year, he promised to Count Stark that the one hundred thousand hectares of land in the Principality of Constantine could produce over two hundred thousand tons of grain each year.
Now that the one hundred thousand hectares of land hadn't been opened yet and it had only been two seasons, they had already exceeded this goal.
If Count Stark knew of this situation, it was unknown what he would think.
"Chairman Xu, since I bumped into you, I want to ask, the matter you mentioned last time ….. is it done?" Cantona suddenly asked with a nervous look.
Xu Yi smiled at him, "It's not a problem and it's even better than what you wanted.
Her highness not only agreed to let your Cantona Chamber of Commerce contract the land of Koror Village, Kambia Village, and Mexilan Village, she also agreed to give you more farmland.
As long as your company can cooperate with the City Lord's Manor, everything can be discussed. "
"Really?" Cantona was instantly excited.
"Great!
Our company will definitely cooperate with the City Lord's Manor. We will do whatever her highness wants us to do! "
"Good, her highness' first request for your company is to guarantee the fall harvest.
If the wheat yield of Koror Village and the other villages doesn't surpass fifty thousand tons, you don't need to see her in the future. "Xu Yi said.
"Fifty thousand tons?"
Cantona calculated in his heart before laughing, "It's a small matter, just let her highness wait and see."
Xu Yi smiled. He thought that the farmland outside Banta City had all received the support of fertilizer this season. The farmland of Koror Village and the other two villages was over twenty thousand hectares, so it was a small matter for them to produce fifty thousand tons.
But compared to the basic grain production, Xu Yi was more concerned about the deep processing of the crops.
The reason why he proposed the idea of combining agriculture with business development to Seveni was because Xu Yi could think of many ways to process the crops and increase their value.
The most simple example was the canned fruit factory in Koror Village.
Currently this canned fruit factory could produce over a hundred thousand cans each month and it was already selling well in the surrounding cities.
Although the price of each kind of canned fruit was different, in total, with the production of a hundred thousand cans each month, this small canned fruit factory was earning close to ten thousand gold coins each month and had a profit of over five thousand gold coins each month.
Even if compared to the other factories in New Flyer, this profit was very low, from the angle of combining agriculture, this was a very shocking number.
It had to be known, the villagers of Koror Village couldn't even earn a thousand gold coins in a year before.
But now because of this canned fruit factory, each family in Koror Village had built a new house and had Xinfei Brand magic machines, greatly increasing their standard of living.
Even last month, the village head of Koror Village had gathered funds from the villagers to buy three medium sized Magic Passenger Cars from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. They were used to transport the villagers to Banta City or other places.
Because they had witnessed the changes in the lives of the villagers of Koror Village, the villagers of Kambia Village and Mexilan Village who had their farmland rented by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce proposed to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to take back their land and plant fruit trees for the canned fruit factory.
Now Cantona was working with the villagers, hoping that they could keep a portion of their land to plant basic crops to satisfy the needs of the City Lord's Manor.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi looked at Cantona with a teasing look.
This fellow, did he really think that the City Lord's Manor's request was that easy to achieve?
If there was a conflict between the City Lord's Manor's request and the villagers' request, let's see how he would deal with it.
But Cantona's matter was his own headache. Compared to thinking about agriculture, Xu Yi was more focused on industrial development.
Seeing the transport Magic Cars slowly approaching, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile.
With these things, industrial development was equal to having wings that could soar.
