Vol 2 Chapter 154: Xu Shijin, who is a stone

After the meeting, the Earl of Satsuma once again left Xu also alone.
No one was surprised by this because at the meeting, the Earl of Satsuma did not continue to ask about the "development of agricultural industrialization" proposed by Xu, and of course he wanted to discuss it separately with Xu after the meeting.
However, unlike everyone's imagination, the Earl of Satsuma will leave Xu, but did not ask the question of "the development of agricultural industrialization" for the first time, but asked another question that was ignored by many people.
"Mr. Xu, the 'canned fruit factory' you just said, I remember you mentioned it to me, I intend to start it in the Principality of Stadt. Now you say that you want to recruit 500 workers in Bangta City... Is it possible? Are you going to bring these workers to the Principality of Stading?" asked the Count of Satsuma.
"Of course not." Xu also shook his head immediately. "The cost of recruiting people from here to the Principality of Stadt is too high. I mean to build a canned fruit factory in Bangta City. The address has already been chosen, right next to the City Surgery Village. ""
"Koror Village?" Count Satsuma thought for a moment. "This village is not on the list of the first demolition and relocations that you gave me, and it is not close to Bangta City. Why did you choose to be in that place, not in the industrial zone of Sanqinton?"

Mainly because the village of Koror is the most concentrated area of ​​the fruit forest in Bangta City. After I discussed with President Cantona, I decided to be the center of the fruit production base of Bangta City. The canned fruit factory was built in that. The place is convenient for processing the fruit in the first time." Xu also replied.
"President Cantona?" Earl Satsuma frowned slightly. "I really want to hear you mention this name. Isn't his chamber of commerce mainly helping other farmers to carry out farmland harvesting? How can you discuss with you to build a fruit production base?"
"The master of the city, this is exactly related to the "agricultural industrialization development" that I just mentioned. It can even be said that this president of Cantona is the most important person, and the role played by their chambers of commerce is equally important."
Count Satsuma couldn’t help but smile: "I haven’t mentioned it yet, but you have raised this topic first. Well, since you took the initiative, tell me in detail. This president of Cantona What is the relationship between his Chamber of Commerce and what you said about 'agricultural industrialization development'? What do you mean by this 'agricultural industrialization development'?
"Good." Xu also nodded, and he was also welcome. He sorted out his thoughts in his mind. The color is: "The master of the city, about the development of agricultural industrialization, sounds like a complicated thing. But if you change One statement is actually very simple and easy to understand. Simply put, all the things related to farming are treated as a complete industry and given to others, and the city government only needs to receive enough food every year."
"That isn't that the farmland is rented out, what is the difference with now?" asked the Earl of Satsuma. "Now the farmland in Bangta City was originally rented out to the farmers outside the city. The city government only needs to be responsible for the annual rent collection. Isn't this the same thing you said?"
"Of course is not the same thing." Xu also shook his head: "It is also rented, but now the farmers outside the city rent land but only rent a small piece of farmland. The annual income is not high, so the farmers continue to The interest in renting farmland is not high, but prefer to work in the factories of major chambers of commerce. However, if industrialization is carried out, these scattered farmland will be brought together. For the overall planning and planting, these farmers can be They liberated and handed over the farmland to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, which intends to operate the chambers of the farmland as the main industry, and to increase the value of these farmland. It is a great thing for both the Cantona Chamber of Commerce and the City Hall. Help things."
"But those farmers don't have farmland to cultivate?" Count Satsuma locked his brow.
Is it possible to take the farmland out of the farmer’s hands and break their lives?

Xu also could not help but shook his head: "The master of the city, you still stay in that old mind. Didn't I tell you at the meeting just now? Now there are not many people outside the city who are willing to cultivate. Farmland. Because you can only earn less than ten gold coins when you work hard in the field all year round, you can get into the factory and you can even earn hundreds of gold coins a year. If you have such a big gap, you can give them farmland. They are not willing to farm."
"Although you are right, I always feel that this will cause problems." Earl Satsuma shook his head gently.
Working in the factory, although the salary is indeed much higher, but how do you guarantee that they will always have this job? If the factory goes out of business, the workers lose their jobs, and then find that they can’t even grow the fields, it will definitely cause big questionable."
Xu also smiled slightly: "I understand your concerns. But the city owner. I think you should be more confident about the overall development of Bangta City. Compared to worrying which factory of the factory is closed, the workers lose their jobs, you still It is better to worry that Bangta City can keep up with the rapid development of today and meet the large demand of our major chambers of commerce."
The Earl of Satsuma gave Xu Yi a look: "Don't remind me of the slap in the face, I have been doing this thing, but other big aristocrats in the kingdom have always attached great importance to the people on their territory. This work is not good. Well, since you said that I don't need to worry about this problem, let's not talk about it for the time being. Inferred from what you just said, is this Cantona Chamber of Commerce planning to rent a large piece of farmland directly?"
"Yes. After my deliberation with President Cantona, President Cantona made a preliminary decision and hoped to rent all the farmland within the three villages of Koror, Kambia and Mexilan.

"Oh, great strength, I want to pack three villages in one breath." Count Satsuma praised. "But did he ever think that the farmland of these three villages has now been rented out by the farmers in the village? Even if I want to rent these farmland to him, it is not easy to recover. How to deal with it?"
Xu Yi did not answer the question of Count Satsuma for the first time, but for a moment of silence. After hesitating for a moment, this was hesitant: "The master of the city, in fact... In my opinion, the kingdom is very badly treated for ordinary farmers. The peasants work hard every year, but in the end they have to take away most of the grain harvest by the kingdom. At most, they can only leave the food that they barely make ends to. In this life, I don't think that ordinary farmers will have any nostalgia."
Earl Satsuma frowned and looked at Xu Yi, and found that his expression was very serious. It was not like casual nonsense. He sighed softly and reluctantly said: "Although you are saying that it is true, this is the rule. Not only. It’s just our Kingdom of Lampari, and the lives of ordinary farmers in all the countries of the whole of Sainz are not going well.

"So, there is no need for your urban master's concerns." Xu Yifeng turned.
Kantona himself used to be an ordinary peasant in the village of Kambia. He is very clear about the attitude of ordinary farmers to farming. If there is no choice, farming can be the only means of survival. But there is In the case of choice, no one of these farmers is willing to continue farming."
"What do you mean by saying... those farmers are very willing to take back the farmland from their hands and then sublet it to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce?" asked the Count of Satsuma.
"Yes. In fact, Cantona originally wanted to bypass the city government and directly sublet the farmland to these farmland. And he has conducted investigations in these three villages, and more than 95% of ordinary farmers have clearly expressed their consent. But when he asked me for advice, I was vetoed."
The Earl of Satsuma snorted: "The veto is good. This kind of thing is he still planning to pass me? I really don't know how high the earth is." After a pause, he asked Xu also: "You are now taking the initiative to mention this to me, that is Does he support it?"
"I support his idea, but he does not support his approach, so this will take the initiative to the city owner, I hope to get a more reasonable and secure method." Xu Yidao.
"So what is your specific opinion?" Count Satsuma asked.
"My opinion is that you hope that the urban masters can agree to include the three villages in the first batch of pilots, and all the farmland in the three villages will agree to lend to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. The Nass Chamber of Commerce treats it as an ordinary farmer, and the tax that should be collected every year is also a lot of copper. The only difference is that the farmland contracted by the farmer is much larger."
"In theory, this idea is really good." Count Satsuma nodded. "But I have a very important problem. It is also farmland. In the hands of ordinary farmers, they will only let them barely live. Now they are in the hands of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. How can they earn enough while ensuring taxation? What about the money?"

In short, it is to save costs by industrialization and scale, change structure, and increase output to gain benefits. Of course, what you actually do is a very complicated thing, but this is actually not much related to the urban master. Isn't it? You only need to receive enough tax every year, how to get benefits from it, that is what the Cantona Chamber of Commerce should consider." Xu Yidao.
"That's right, but I am worried that if the Chamber of Commerce can't make money because of it, it will give up directly, but let these farmland be abandoned."
"I don't think you need to worry about this. I have already discussed this aspect with President Cantona. I can guarantee that they will find a variety of ways to make money. I will definitely stick to this attempt."
Looking at Xu’s smile with confidence, Count Satsuma couldn’t help but laugh.
"I have forgotten that since this matter has you involved, how can you not make money? I am right? Is it because everyone thinks that even a stone can turn it into a gold coin?"
Xu Yi haha ​​smiled and nodded unceremoniously.
