This year, the spring plowing of Bangta City is over, and the results are still dazzling. The chapter update is the fastest
When the spring crop last year, the total wheat output of Bangta City actually reached 630,000 tons, which is already a very exaggerated data, and can be ranked in the forefront of the entire city of Lampari.
For a small city like Bangta City, which has a farmland area counted down in the Kingdom of Lampari, this is a very rare data performance. Everyone believes that Bangta City has all the help of farmland magic machinery. The potential has been tapped, and it is impossible to exceed this data in the future.
However, this year's spring ploughing ended, according to the statistics of the city government, Bangta City actually harvested a total of 870,000 tons of wheat!
Even more than 240,000 tons more than last year's spring plough!
It should be known that as early as the year before, Bangta City used the farmland magic machinery provided by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce for the farmland reconstruction project carried out by the Earl of Satsuma. All the farmland that can be reclaimed in Bangta City was opened up, and now Bangta City cultivates every year. At the time, food is grown almost everywhere.
Therefore, in fact, the grain output of Bangta City has reached its peak in theory last year.
The reason why there is such an amazing breakthrough again is that there is only one reason, that is, another important product of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce - fertilizer.
In this spring ploughing, according to statistics, farmland using chemical fertilizers is significantly higher in yield than farmland without fertilizer.
The most exaggerated, even the same acre of field production is nearly doubled!
In the winter, many villages represented by Koror Village, Kambia Village and Moxilan Village outside Bangta City used chemical fertilizers and eventually produced more of these productions. It is produced from these farmlands that use chemical fertilizers.
According to the estimation of the city government. If all farmland outside Bangta City can use fertilizer. It is conservatively estimated that the entire grain output of Bangta City will exceed 1 million tons.
This is obviously a very amazing number.
It should be known that in the past few years, the total wheat output of Bangta City in the first quarter was just over 200,000 tons, but now it is possible to directly break through one million tons.
If this transformation is extended to the whole of the Kingdom of Ramopy, then such an amazing food production can not only easily feed the people of the whole kingdom, but even have a large balance.
This is a very unbelievable thing in the eyes of many people in Bangta City, because the civilians of the former Lampari Kingdom can already eat a full stomach. How can there be a balance?
But this seems to be in the eyes of Xu Yi, but it is a normal thing.
Although the Kingdom of Lampari is a small country, the geographical conditions are very good. Most of the land is suitable for cultivation, and most of them are plain areas, which is very suitable for large-scale cultivation.
With such a superior geographical environment, it is a joke that food is not enough to eat.
Normally, the Kingdom of Lampari can even be a big food exporting country.
Of course, this is still too far away for the Kingdom of Lampari. After all, in the past two years, the Lampari Kingdom was helped by the farmland magic machinery. It’s hard to solve the basic problem of food and clothing for the people.
Although the output of wheat in Bangta City has risen sharply, the grain can be more. It will never be wasted.
In Bangta City, the harvest of the 870,000 tons of wheat in the spring, of which 620,000 tons was turned over to the city government, and then 500,000 tons of it was turned over to the Agricultural Department, as the kingdom storage reserve, but only left Twelve thousand tons of wheat were classified as freely controlled by the city government.
But in fact, for the city government, how to deal with the 120,000 tons of wheat is also a problem.
Before the food production of Bangta City was only more than 200,000 tons, the city government could finally leave only one or two thousand tons for itself. It was a drop in the bucket, and there was nothing left for each person in the city government. And then have to subsidize part of the fiscal expenditure.
Now, with a total of 120,000 tons of wheat left, the city government does not know how to solve it.
If it is the same, it is very simple. Selling these wheat directly can also sell hundreds of thousands of gold coins, which is enough to subsidize the financial expenses of the city government.
However, as Earl Stark relaxed his attitude towards the commercial suppression of Bangta City, the business tax collected by Bangta City in the past few years of the year has increased dramatically, but it was collected in April this month. The business tax is already close to 100,000 gold coins.
So in fact, there is almost no financial pressure on Bangta City. It is not worthwhile to sell these wheat directly to other places.
After some consideration, Earl Stark built an extra granary outside Bangta City, which was dedicated to storing the extra 120,000 tons of wheat, and also sent the city guards to be conservative.
It is the first time in the Kingdom of Lampari that a granary reserve food is set up by a city below.
This move immediately caused heated discussion throughout the Kingdom of Lampari.
For the practice of Earl Stark, everyone is embarrassed.
Appreciated people said that Earl Stark’s move was very forward-looking and played a very positive role in maintaining the stability of Bangta City.
If there is any natural disaster that has caused famine in Bangta City, then this 100,000-ton wheat will be the biggest hope to protect Bangta City from turmoil.
The opponents said that Count Stark’s move was too selfish.
Since Bangta City can balance so much food, why not pay the extra 120,000 tons of wheat to the Agriculture Department, and then distribute it in a unified manner to support the areas in the Kingdom that still lack food?
Regarding the debate on this issue, it should not be privately owned from the cities of the Kingdom, and it has even been extended to the idea that Count Stark has rebelled.
After waiting for another half a month, a piece of the Order of the Kingdom Council directly closed all the controversial people.
The content of this paper order is very simple, because he is only a command, in view of the excellent performance of Earl Stark in Bangta City, after careful consideration, the Kingdom Council transferred it to the city of Loren in the north of the kingdom as the city owner. With his superb agricultural development capabilities. Help Loren City solve agricultural problems.
This paper order is simple. But the content is very intriguing.
The first is time.
The Earl of Stark was transferred to Bangta City as the city owner last July, but now it is only in May of the second year, only a total of ten months as the owner of Bangta City.
Was it transferred again in such a short period of time, does it mean that he is not suitable for this city?
But if you notice the position of the Earl of Stark, you will find that this paper order is not to blame her.
Because Loren City is one of the best cities in the northern part of the Kingdom of Lampari, the city owner of Loren City, the status is undoubtedly much higher than the city owner of Bangta City. This is the same as the former Satsuma Piaget transferred to Severs City as the city owner. same. Can be regarded as a promotion.
Therefore, many people are very puzzled. Is this order of the Kingdom Council a denial of the Count of Stark as the city owner of Bangta?
What is even more intriguing is that the order emphasizes that Count Stark has a strong ability to promote local agricultural development. He is also the owner of the city of Loren and also solves the problems of agricultural development in Loren, for other aspects. It is true that there is no mention.
This is quite different from the all-round affirmation of the Count of Satsuma on the paper order that was transferred to the Count of Satsuma.
Of course, no matter how the outsiders talk about it, or how the inside is choppy, Bangta City is still steadily following its usual track before the Earl of Stark is actually removed.
Although Earl Stark did not declare a positive release of pressure on commercial activities. But from his loose attitude and the rumors he was about to take away, the chambers with a keen sense of smell still reacted quickly.
Bangta City, which was almost a pool of stagnant water. In the past two months, it has gradually resumed its activeness. The shops of all sizes on the street have reopened, and a wide variety of goods have been put on shelves, and the streets and alleys have been refilled.
The entire Bangta City, as if in a short period of time, would have to revert to the prosperity of the Earl of Stark before it came.
Looking at the people on the street outside the city hall, Count Stark sighed deeply and turned to look at Xu Yi, who was first summoned by him. His face became extremely complicated.
After being silenced for a while, Earl Stark slowly shook his head and said: "Xu, congratulations, you won."
Xu also looked at his mouth and opened his mouth, but only revealed a slightly helpless smile. He whispered: "The master of the city, if you are referring to the bet between me and you, then I can confidently say that you did lose. But if you are referring to other aspects... I am afraid I will not agree."
Count Stark doubled his eyebrows: "How? I have to be transferred. Are you still not satisfied?"
Xu Yi Shen Shen for a moment, his expression solemnly said: "The master of the city, you should know that I do not mean this. Although I do not fully agree with your position and concept, but I am very keen on your desire to develop for Bangta City. Appreciate. In this respect, there is no point in distinguishing between winning and losing, because our purpose is actually the same. The difference is... but it is the means."
"Means?" Earl Stark smiled a little self-deprecatingly. He thought about it and waved his hand: "Oh, it doesn't make sense to say these words. I am looking for you this time, just because I am leaving soon. Here, I want to talk to you for a few words and ask a few questions. The first question, Xu Yi, is you treating yourself as a businessman? Or do you regard yourself as a nobleman?"
Xu Yiwei frowned, this problem was emphasized by Earl Stark for the first time in front of him. It seems that in his eyes, he has been worried about this issue.
"First, I am a person, then, I am a Lampari, and then, I am now a Bonta, and finally a businessman or a nobleman, and these two identities, for me, It doesn't make much sense. The master of the city, answer this, do you feel satisfied?"
Earl Stark gently nodded: "I probably understand what you mean. It seems that I am really too small to see you, your goal is much larger than I thought. But Xu also, before leaving, I must remind you that businessmen and nobles are two different identities after all, and one day, you have to make a choice."
Xu also shrugged and said nothing to the words of Earl Stark.
Seeing that Xu also had no reaction, Earl Stark was not surprised. He nodded and asked: "The second question, Xu Yi, are you really not optimistic about His Royal Highness Prince Erik?"
Xu also had a look of indifferent expression and suddenly became dignified, staring at the Earl of Stark.
At this time, Count Stark asked such a sharp question, and what answer would he like to get? (To be continued.)
