When the Lampari Kingdom's parliament announced the abolition of this law, it created a stir in the Lampari Kingdom and the surrounding countries.
This law was very simple, it forbade anyone from killing cattle and those who violated this law would be heavily punished.
By abolishing this law, it meant that cattle would no longer be protected by this law. As long as anyone had the conditions and wanted to eat them, they could slaughter cattle to eat.
For the people of the Sines who had low productivity before, especially those who relied on cattle to farm, cattle were the most sacred thing in their hearts.
Slaughtering and eating cattle was something they couldn't imagine at all.
Perhaps some nobles would secretly slaughter cattle to satisfy their cravings, but no one dared to do this publicly because they would be condemned by everyone.
But now that the Lampari Kingdom had suddenly abolished this law that protected cattle, of course it was out of everyone's expectations.
Many people were worried that once this law was abolished, there would be many cattle slaughtered in the Lampari Kingdom that wouldn't be spared.
Facts proved people's worries.
Since the news of this law being abolished was spread, the various newspapers of the Lampari Kingdom kept reporting that cattle were being slaughtered. For a while, it made people think that all the cattle in the Lampari Kingdom would disappear.
Many people were very worried because of this.
Without cattle, what would they do to farm in the future?
However, two months later, when the autumn harvest came, these people immediately realized that their worries were unnecessary.
Because before the fall harvest, it wasn't that there weren't any places that used cattle, but there were very few places.
The reason was very simple, the work of the cattle had been replaced by the various agricultural magic machines in the New Flyer.
Moreover, whether it was in terms of effect or efficiency, using the agricultural magic machines was countless times better than using cattle.
At this time, people finally understood.
Since there were better agricultural magic machines, what was the point of using cattle?
Although there were still people who were confused by the kingdom's parliament abolishing this law, there was no one who raised any objections.
In the end, if there was a chance to eat something as good as beef, who would want to miss it?
If people knew that Xu Yi was pushing the Lampari Kingdom to abolish the cattle protection law because of this, as well as getting a cow to eat as soon as possible, it was unknown what they would think … …
Of course, this was only a part of Xu Yi's actions that wasn't too important. The real big actions were in the Principality of Constantine that he had the most control over.
The agricultural upgrade plan that he had discussed with Viscount Constantine was to increase the agricultural structure of the Principality of Constantine. It was to diversify agricultural production and not be limited to rice, wheat, and other staple crops.
Or to put it more bluntly, it was to let the people of the Principality of Constantine eat meat.
Because of this, Xu Yi planned to create several new livestock farms in the Principality of Constantine.
In order to maintain these farms, other than ensuring the production of various kinds of feed, there was also the processing, storage, and transportation of the livestock … …
When these things were placed on New Flyer, they needed New Flyer to develop a set of magic processing equipment.
Seeing the Magic Lawnmower and the two requests of cooperating with the elven tribes in terms of growing fodder, Xu Yi gave a nod, showing that he approved of it.
"The elves' side isn't that big of a problem, I can discuss this with elder Lisanya.
But I hope that the arrangements will be left to the parliament, our New Flyer won't meddle. "Xu Yi said.
"Understood."
"As for the Magic Lawnmower and the other magic processing equipment, it will take some time to develop, so we'll use people to replace them first.
But it's a good thing that we only need to set up an experimental farm, so there should be enough people to use. "
After saying this, Xu Yi paused. After thinking for a bit, he asked, "Speaking of people ….. Has the birth statistics of the duchy been released?"
Viscount Constantine shook his head with a bitter smile, "It's hard to get an accurate number because not everyone is used to being sent to the hospital when giving birth."
"Add this to the new law, it has to be enforced." Xu Yi said with a serious look.
"Remember, human resources will be the most important thing in the next few decades, you have to grasp all the relevant information."
"Understood."
Viscount Constantine nodded before saying with a smile, "But even if there isn't an accurate number, based on the rough statistics, it's clear that there was a large increase in the birth rate of the duchy last year, even surpassing thirty thousand.
This is the most exaggerated birth rate in the history of the duchy! "
"Thirty thousand?"
Seeing the excited look on Viscount Constantine's face, Xu Yi wanted to curl his lips in disdain. But thinking of the population of the Principality of Constantine being less than a million, if there were thirty thousand births a year, the birth rate would be over 30%, which was already very exaggerated in the Sines.
It had to be known that in this world where productivity was low and most countries on the continent were plagued by famine, it was already considered good to have a stable population. How could there be a high birth rate?
Xu Yi was very clear that the population problem wasn't something that could be solved in a short period of time, so he only asked about it before putting it to the side.
As for the livestock farm and the meat processing factory, because it was still in the planning and testing stage, there wasn't much to discuss right now.
Xu Yi carefully looked over the plan and found that Viscount Constantine had considered all the possible problems, so he nodded with a satisfied smile.
"Very good, Constantine. It seems like choosing you as the chairman back then really was the right choice."
Viscount Constantine bowed to Xu Yi, "It is my honor.
Of course, if it wasn't for Chairman Xu leading the New Flyer to bring such astonishing changes to the duchy, no matter how hard I tried, it would have been meaningless. "
Xu Yi waved his hand and stopped the two of them from flattering each other. After thinking for a while, his expression suddenly turned stern and he snorted coldly, "Constantine, help me warn those fellows to behave.
The duchy is about to enter a very important period of transition, and I don't want to see anyone causing trouble.
If they dare to be disobedient, I don't mind mobilizing the company's guards to help them. "
Viscount Constantine's expression froze, and he hurriedly nodded in response.
"Alright, then that's all for today. You can go back and do your own things."
"Yes."
Seeing Viscount Constantine's figure disappear outside the door, Xu Yi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
From the looks of it, this Viscount Constantine was very obedient and would do anything he told him to do.
But Xu Yi wasn't sure if he would be like Anklo and change under the influence of power.
So in reality, the Principality of Constantine's parliament was just an empty shell under Xu Yi's control. It only had power in name, but in reality, all the specific measures were carried out through the New Flyer.
But through this year of observation, Viscount Constantine had already shown his strong ability in internal affairs, so Xu Yi began to seriously consider if he should give him some power and train him to be a good helper.
The only worry was that he would become another Anklo.
"Hey, Xu Yi, what are you thinking about?
Knitting your brows like this isn't a good thing. "
The space beside him suddenly twisted and Agnes' figure appeared out of thin air.
Xu Yi's tightly knit brows instantly relaxed and he revealed a smile to Agnes.
"Agnes, why are you always using spatial magic in your own home?
You can just walk over. "
"I'm used to it." Agnes giggled as she sat down beside Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, are you free in the next few days?"
"Un?
What is it?
Do you need something? "Xu Yi asked back in a surprised voice.
"This … …" Agnes' face suddenly turned red.
"Last week when I returned to the tribe, the elder came to talk to me. She said that I still haven't had a child yet, so perhaps there was a problem.
She hoped that I could come with you to the tribe and use our elven race's secret techniques to solve this problem. "
Looking at the shy Agnes, he thought that after being married to her for so long, Agnes was becoming more and more like a human girl.
But towards Elder Elucía's invitation, Xu Yi was very helpless.
Whether it was Elder Elucía or Elder Elucía, they both placed great importance on him and Agnes. Every few days, they would ask about the situation between the two of them.
The two elders were very worried that Agnes still wasn't pregnant after all this time.
But Xu Yi already had several children, proving that he didn't have this problem, so they could only suspect that it was because of Agnes.
But they couldn't prove this, so the two elders could only worry.
In order to solve this problem, the two elders had tried many methods, but they had no effect at all.
This time, he didn't know what method Elder Elucía had thought of that she wanted Xu Yi to try.
"Do we have to go to the tribe?" Xu Yi asked after thinking about it.
"I'll be very busy in the next few days, so I don't have that much free time to make a trip to the tribe.
Can you ask Elder Elucía to come over?
I also have something to discuss with her. "
"I'm not clear on this, then I'll ask the elder?" Agnes said while shaking her head.
"Alright.
I'll invite Elder Lisanya as well. This agricultural industry upgrade plan really needs the participation of the Elven Race. "
"Un!" Agnes loudly replied.
"If the elders know about this, they will definitely be very happy.
It's perfect that the tribe ….. "
Agnes' voice suddenly stopped.
Xu Yi looked over in surprise and saw Agnes tightly knit her brows with a pained expression.
