Vol 3 Chapter 3: Countless Stark Earl

Count Stark recently felt very uncomfortable, and even a little bit burned.
It took more than three months to succeed the Earl of Satsuma as the owner of the city of Bangta. He has not succeeded in doing everything he wants to do.
Before coming to Bangta City, he thought that the family had to make himself a master of this city.
In his view, the problem of Bangta City is simply a piece of cake, just send someone to come, even if it is in the city of Bangta, he has always been seen as a small child, the Baron Billier has no difficulty in solving it. .
He eventually came because the city of Bangta has now become the center of the two factional battles in the Kingdom of Lampari.
The Stark family paid a great price, and it was not easy to win the position of the city owner. Naturally, there was no loss.
Bangta City is just a small town. It is of course impossible for the Duke of Stark to be the owner of the city. So he chose to go and chose the Earl of Manner Starr.
As the younger brother of the Duke of Stark, he has the absolute trust of Duke Stark, and because of his age, he is more stable and natural, and it is easy to be reassured.
Prior to this, Earl Stark was very reassured by himself because he felt that he could accomplish the goal of the family well and prove to everyone that it would be better to make Bangta City an agriculture-based city. A city dominated by business is much more important.
However, after he was really in charge of Bangta City, except for the unexpected success when he first started to deal with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, everything he wanted to do was very unsatisfactory.
The first thing he did after coming to Bangta City was to reassess the land in Bangta City and implement it with this impeccable policy. The new Feishang Chamber of Commerce was driven out of the Sanqinton Manor. Let Xu also not even dare to put one.
However, his implementation of this policy is not just to get rid of the new Flyer Chamber of Commerce. It is really prepared to use this policy to re-calculate the land use around Bangta City, so that all the arable land in Bangta City can be measured and opened before the autumn harvest, so as to achieve output during the autumn harvest. Significantly improved.
However, when he got the measurement results, he almost spurted out the old blood.
Because according to the results of the measurement statistics, the current Bangta City has already opened all the arable land in the Bangta City area, and there is no one-hectare idle land!
In this way, it means that he can't make a fuss about the land area, which makes the grain output in Bangta City soar. Thus lost the possibility of creating this greatest credit.
On the contrary, if the food he harvested in this autumn harvest did not meet the standards of last year's autumn harvest in Bangta City, or even worse, it means that his time as the city owner completely failed.
Don't say that he will live up to the expectations of the whole family, and even the Strak family will be questioned by other big aristocrats in the same faction.
More importantly, if he can't do anything to prove that his state-owned Bangta City can create better results when he is in charge of the Earl of Pisa, then there is enough reason for His Majesty to reject them. A proposal from the aristocrats to promote commercial development in the kingdom.
This includes the Stark family. The prestige in the kingdom is bound to be greatly affected.
And this is the most unacceptable thing for the aristocrats of their school.
So even if the heart wants to vomit blood, Earl Stark is still trying to find the possibility of improving his performance.
Farmland cannot be made out of thin air. Then there is only manpower left in the remaining effort space.
However, when he tried to find a solution to the manpower problem, Earl Stark made a big joke.
By measuring the statistical results, Count Stark found a Cantona Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, and actually got the farmland they had rented from a large number of farmers outside the city, and they all packaged it for cultivation.
According to statistics from the city government, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce now has farmland subletted from as many as 476 farmers, totaling more than 20 hectares, even more than the Stark family in Bangta. The territory of the city is much larger!
After seeing this problem, Earl Stark suddenly noticed.
This Cantona Chamber of Commerce does not have any aristocratic background. It is not only extremely unreasonable, but even arguably it is a big deal!
So Earl of Stark unceremoniously ordered the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to immediately return the land to the farmers through the city government, ensuring that the farmers had farmland to rent.
Count Stark had thought that this thing he had done would be frustrated by all, because in his opinion, this Cantona Chamber of Commerce must have had any improper relationship with the former Lord Samo, with the power of the Earl of Satsuma. Force the farmers to hand over the farmland they rented to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.
For all the ordinary farmers in the Kingdom of Lampari, the farmland they rented is their only hope of raising a family. If these farms are not available, these ordinary farmers may only be starved to death.
Therefore, Earl Stark felt that this thing was really righteous and confidently prepared to accept the praise and advocacy of everyone.
However, the facts made him completely unexpected.
When he ordered the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to return the farmland to the farmer, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce protested that the farmland that he had rented was approved by the city government, without any procedural issues, and was completely legal. If the city government ordered him to return these farmland, he must give a reasonable reason.
The protest against the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is of course prepared. The agreement signed directly with the former city owner has nothing to do with the current city owner. All agreements signed with the city government will be automatically revoked and must be reconsidered before deciding whether to approve the law. The reason was that the pond was plugged back.
However, the reason for this reply to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce was directly rumored by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, so it was not only the "Bangta Daily" but also the other newspapers in Bangta City and surrounding cities. The report was reported.
The Earl of Stark did not seem to be worth mentioning at all, but in a short period of time in the city of Bangta and in several surrounding cities. And support the reason for Count Stark. Almost none of them.
Even the aristocrats in Bangta City who were sure to stand on the same line as him in the eyes of Earl Stark expressed their silence on the matter. Even some nobles concealed their opposition.
The civilians outside the nobility reacted more intensely to this matter.
After the Bonta Daily reported this incident, countless chambers of commerce in Bangta City and even in several surrounding cities flocked to the city government and asked Earl Stark to re-audit the agreement signed by both parties.
Many chambers of commerce even euphemistically or simply stated to Count Stark that because of the practice of Count Stark, they had lost their trust in the capital of the city of Bangta, and the agreement signed by the two parties was directly invalidated and asked the city government to immediately Settlement is clear about the distribution of all interests between the two parties.
For this situation, Count Stark was unexpected. When he asked the officials of the city government to count all the chambers of commerce that had agreements with the city government, or shocked to find that there were as many as 73 chambers of commerce with the various agreements of the city of Bangta, which was led by the Earl of Satsuma. !
The goods handled by the seventy-three chambers of commerce include all aspects, from the ongoing riverbank reconstruction project on the Sandy River to a rag used in the kitchen of the city's main government.
If the agreements signed by these chambers of commerce and the city government are invalidated, and the transactions with the city government are all stopped, then Bangta City will almost be paralyzed in an instant.
At this time, Earl Stark discovered that he had done something extremely stupid, and that he and all the officials in the city government were in a state of extreme turmoil.
In fact, seriously. This is not his stupidity.
Because according to the experience of other places in the Kingdom of Lampari, there is no business association that dares to be directly confronted with the city government. Because for a city master, a small chamber of commerce is nothing at all.
But Bangta City is completely different from the rest of the Kingdom of Lampari.
Every chamber of commerce in this city almost dared to swear to the city government for its own interests.
A small chamber of commerce like the Cantona Chamber of Commerce would not be seen by Count Stark at all. However, in the face of the reason given by Earl Stark, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce did not choose to swallow and obey. Instead, he risked the risk of angering Earl Stark and directly exposed the matter to the public.
What's more, the newspaper industry in Bangta City and the surrounding cities is extremely developed. Any trivial things will be published in the newspapers, and not to mention such a hot news.
When everything is clearly exposed to everyone, Earl Stark naturally does not dare to use the violent power to directly suppress the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, and must also deal with the other 73 large and small Chambers of Commerce. Claim.
However, if you really want to say it, in the whole thing, the reaction is most out of the Earl of Stark, but it is the ordinary farmers.
Earl Stark thought that he had helped the ordinary farmers from the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to take back the farmland that belonged to them. These ordinary farmers would be grateful to themselves.
Unexpectedly, the officers sent by him told the farmers that they would regain their farmland, but they met the cold face without exception, and even some farmers directly ignored them.
More exaggerated, there are several farmers who are deeply angry with this, and they scream that the city's main government does not care about the lives and deaths of these ordinary farmers. Earl Stark is not worthy of being the city owner.
In the face of other people's doubts and opposition, Earl Stark can still comfort the guys who don't understand him at all, but in the face of the resentment of the most ordinary and unretouched ordinary farmers, he is calm again. Not up.
He did not understand that it was obvious that he helped these ordinary farmers to recapture the farmland that allowed them to live. But would they react like this?
Can you say... don’t these farmers want farmland? (To be continued.)
