Vol 2 Chapter 124: Special economic zone

Halfway through the banquet, Xu also received a separate interview with His Majesty the King in a secret room under the leadership of a servant of the Royal Palace.
Compared with the first time, when the King of the King saw Xu, the smile on his face looked more brilliant and sincere.
Just as he praised Xu Yi at the banquet, the reason why the Lampari Kingdom will get such a big harvest in this autumn harvest, the most important thing is the farmer's farmland magic machinery, and the biggest hero, of course. It is Xu Yi who invented the farmland magic machinery.
For the Kingdom of Lampari, or for any country on the mainland of Sainz, solving the problem of food and clothing for the people is the primary issue.
Before the Kingdom of Lampari was very difficult at this point, and now with the help of farmland magic machinery, it only took a year to solve the problem almost perfectly.
Even according to the assessment of the Agricultural Department, if we continue to promote the farmland magic machinery and finally use the farmland magic machinery on every land in the kingdom, then the Lampari Kingdom can not only meet its own domestic food needs. And even have extra food sold to other countries!
If you know the king of this great news, how can you not reveal a sincere and bright smile to Xu?

Is the Agriculture Department feeling that food can be exported abroad?
Xu was somewhat surprised. "His Majesty, please forgive me, I think this decision is a bit ill-considered?"
"Oh? Where do you talk about it?" The King looked at Xu Yi with a look of interest.
"First of all, this year our country has been able to get a bumper harvest. In addition to the help of farmland magic machinery, it is possible to increase the farmland. Another important reason is that there have been no natural disasters throughout the year. Production cuts. But this is a problem that must be considered. If I remember correctly, the turmoil more than a decade ago was caused by famine..."
Xu Yi did not go down.
The famine of the Kingdom of Lampari more than a decade ago is now almost a taboo for everyone in the kingdom and is not willing to mention it easily.
The Majesty of the King before him inherited the throne in the famine. I am sure that this famine is more impressive than anyone else.
His Majesty the King did not care much. He nodded. "Well, this is indeed a problem that needs attention. However, the Agriculture Department will certainly take this factor into consideration. What other places are you considering?"

"In addition... The Agriculture Department thinks that the grain output in this year's bumper harvest will not only meet the needs of all people in the kingdom, but even the surplus can be exported abroad, but I think this is probably based on the demand for food in the previous kingdom. On the basis of what I actually observed in Bangta City and the surrounding cities, many people in the family, especially those in ordinary peasant families, most of them have been in a state of full stomach. I think... the Agriculture Department may underestimate the demand for food from these people."
"You mean because you haven't eaten enough before, so once you find that there is more food to eat than before, you will let go of your belly and eat it. If you have a bad meal, it will become several times before?" asked the Majesty the King.
"That's what I mean."
Seeing Xu also nodded, the king smirked out loud.
"Haha. You can understand this idea. When I was famine, I was hungry for a few days. When I had enough food to eat, I really let go of my belly for a long time, and the result was direct Fat a few pounds. You see..." His Majesty patted his own round belly and laughed at himself: "This is fatter a decade ago, and it has not been reduced yet."
Xu couldn't help but smile, thinking that the King is very funny.
The king took the armrest of the chair. Nodded and praised: "Yes, I originally summoned you to want to praise you separately, and I would like to ask you if you need any rewards. I can’t think of talking to you casually. I found out that you are in the whole kingdom. The administrative plan is also very insightful. Not bad... Listening to the report of Count Satsuma, you are still responsible for the overall renovation of Bangta City right?"
Xu Yiyi, quickly nodded and said: "Yes. Earl gave me this task mainly to me. But this overall renovation project has just begun, and I have not seen any results yet."
"It is already a very huge achievement to be able to give the Earl of Satsuma the idea of ​​an overall transformation of Bangta City." His Majesty smiled. "Xu Yi, I have to say that since the arrival of your new Flying Chamber of Commerce, Bangta City has changed too much compared to before. At the very least, it has become much more expensive than before. Is it not? I will think of an overall transformation."
Xu also couldn't help but smile: "The Earl is always crying in front of me. I don't want you to say. Now the city government can still owe hundreds of thousands of gold coins to our chamber of commerce."
"Let him continue to owe it." The king squated and waved his hand, looking uncomfortable. "In fact, even if it is me, I really want to owe you hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins."
Xu Yi suddenly took a surprise: "Your Majesty, our Chamber of Commerce can not be rich enough to this point..."
His Majesty smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous. This is of course a joke. I just found that Bona City has such a gratifying change now, I can't help but think that if the entire Lampari Kingdom can be like Bangta City. How good it is to be prosperous."
Seeing a sigh of relief on the face of His Majesty, Xu also suddenly felt a move.
"Your Majesty, it is unrealistic to let the kingdom become Bangta City in a short period of time, but can you consider it, and choose a region in the kingdom to make them flourish?"

Choose a region to prosper first?
His Majesty frowned. "What does this mean? What should I do?"

In short, it’s building a special economic zone...

###
After leaving the palace, Xu also sat back to the carriage in the other house. When the carriage was started, he suddenly couldn’t help but screamed and laughed.
No way, he just wanted to laugh when he thought about the situation he had just talked about under the sire of the king.
It is a bit funny to talk about the special economic zone in front of a king who is still in a semi-slave and semi-feudal society.
However, the King’s description of Xu Yi’s description was very serious.
Regarding the idea that Xu also proposed to establish a special economic zone around Bangta City, His Majesty, after thinking about it for a moment, initially expressed his approval.
Even he took the initiative and Xu also analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a special economic zone.
The advantage of course is that it can concentrate human and material resources and policy advantages, making Bangta City and several surrounding cities develop rapidly together.
Now this area does not even have the policy help of this special economic zone. Because the leadership of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has become much more prosperous than before, it can basically be regarded as a self-initiated special economic zone.
If there is a kingdom policy tilt, it will only develop faster.
The downside is mainly that the decision will cause dissatisfaction in other parts of the kingdom, especially where the great aristocracy is located.
Why should we establish a special economic zone to choose in Bangta City and several surrounding cities instead of other places?
Does Bangta City have any special advantages compared to other places?
Xu also wants to say that because there is a new flying business association in Bangta City, this is the biggest advantage. But of course you can't say that, of course, and even if you say it, you will never be convinced.
So his final proposal to the King was actually more cautious. He only proposed the concept of a special economic zone, but he did not intend to let His Majesty really show everyone clearly that a special economic zone should be established around Bangta.
To put it bluntly, Xu wants to let His Majesty take special care of the area around Bangta City. In some respects, some policy tilts are given to facilitate the development of Bangta City and several surrounding cities.
His Majesty the King is in favor of this proposal and said that he would consider it carefully.
So Xu Yi and his Majesty’s meeting met with results that made him very satisfied.
Only when he was leaving, his majesty suddenly patted his shoulder, but said a word that made him feel very vigilant.
His Majesty the King said at the time: "Very good, I have no doubt that Servini has such a good helper."
This sentence is really intriguing.
Until the carriage stopped at the entrance of the other hospital. Xu also still couldn't figure out the true intention of His Majesty to say this to himself.
Looking at the welcoming Steele, he can only give up thinking for a while, and put this sentence into the bottom of his heart, revealing a smile and welcoming it.
"Alely woke up." Still said.
"Oh? Then let's go and see."
Xu Yi and Steele walked quickly to Aleari's room.
Just walked to the door, but heard a few weak voices in the room.
"Bei... Bella, don't... it's like watching people... it's not good to see."
Then Bellana was very recognizable and slightly squeaky.
"Hey, what's wrong? I am taking care of the patient. Come. Open your mouth, don't twist like a girl. Ah..."
Hearing the sound of the bowl and spoon in the room, Xu also stopped and pointed to the room and cast a questioning eye to Steele.
Stil's mouth smirked with a slight smirk, and stretched out his index finger to make a squeaky gesture on his mouth, and then quietly approached the door with Xu. The probe looks inside.
The situation in the room was as Xu thought, and Alai’s back was padded with a pillow and quilt, lying on the bed diagonally, while Bella sat on the bed. Holding a bowl of black in my hand, I don’t know if it’s a soup or a medicine. I took a spoonful of spoon and fed it to Alai’s mouth.
Seeing that Alleley's face was flushed and ready to open the spoon, Xu also suddenly coughed and stepped into the door, making a surprised expression, loudly: "Bella, you didn't say that you fell in love with me yesterday. Have you changed your mind just after one day?"
Bella shook hands and almost threw the spoon out.
Seeing that Steele and Xu also walked in from the door together, the two suddenly yelled.
