Vol 3 Chapter 34: Come and make a bet.

In fact, this official document only reports a small matter. It is said that several villagers in a village outside the city want to work in the Principality of Stadt, so they report to Bangta City in advance to retain their people in Bangta City. identity of.
Something similar has happened in the previous period, but Earl Stark did not care too much, but gave approval in accordance with the previous practice of dealing with similar situations.
But this time again, after seeing the same report on this official document, Count Stark suddenly gave birth to a strong sense of crisis.
After thinking about it for a while, he found out why this strong sense of crisis suddenly appeared.
The reason is very simple, it is the tax problem of Bangta City that he has been worried about for the past few days.
Due to the evacuation of the new Feishang Association, the follow-up of other large and small chambers of commerce in Bangta City, and the sudden release of free trade rights by the Commercial Department, the tax revenue of Bangta City will most likely fall back to a few times this year. Years ago.
Losing a large amount of taxes paid by major chambers of commerce, Bangta City is almost equivalent to being dug up by a large number of people.
Now, the civilians under the administration of Bangta City have to leave Bangta City. In the view of the traditional aristocrats of Count Stark, it has already shaken the foundation of Bangta City.
Earl of Stark recalled the official documents approved a few days ago, and found an astonishing fact that the civilians who applied to leave Bangta City were ordinary farmers in those villages outside the city.
For the Earl of Stark, who attaches great importance to agricultural development, these ordinary farmers are the foundation of the support of Bangta City.
If a farmer leaves, it may not affect anything. Ten departures can't affect anything. But a hundred or even a few hundred have left. That would have an amazing impact.
After recalling the official documents approved these days, Earl Stark was surprised to find that in this short period of time, nearly 100 farmers had applied for a report.
If this trend continues, does Bangta City really want to shake the foundation?
Thinking of this, Earl Stark revisited the official document in his hand and found that the villagers wanted to leave Bangta City. To work in the Principality of Stading, all are preparing to go to the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce for renting land from the land of the Principality of Constantine.
In other words, they switched from farming in Bangta City to farming in the Principality of Stading.
Recalling the official documents approved a few days ago, the common farmers also gave the same reason. Reminiscent of the recent action of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Earl Stark passed his eyes and snorted.
"This Xu also dared to take away the most important veteran farmers from my hands. Is this trying to dig my corner?"
Count Stark thought about it and gave a reply on the official document. However, the application was directly rejected.
Although in theory, he does not have this power. But as the city owner of Bangta City, he has too many ways to force these ordinary farmers to stay.
Just when he had just finished the approval, the door of the office was suddenly ringed.
From the frequency of knocking on the door, Count Stark heard that this was his own cronies, Chekov, and he let him in.
After Chekov came in, he gave a gift to Count Stark: "The Earl of the Earl, the new club of the Chamber of Commerce will ask for advice."
Earl of Stark suddenly stunned and turned to look at the dark night sky outside the window.
How could Xu also suddenly ask for this time?
Ten minutes later, Count Stark saw Xu Yi in the small meeting room of the city government.
"President Xu, visiting late at night, is really rare."
Because the city government received 3,000 farmland magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as scheduled during the autumn harvest, and assisted the autumn harvest to be completed smoothly, the Earl of Stark now sees that Xu Yishi’s attitude has changed a lot.
Xu Yi was in the face of the first time when he met with Earl Stark, and each time he met with Earl Stark, he showed a respectful and polite attitude. This time is no exception.
"The urban master, I am sorry to disturb you late at night." Xu also smiled. "But I may have to go to the Principality of Stadt in two days, so there are some things that need to be discussed with the city owner in advance."
When I heard the words "The Principality of Constantine", Count Stark immediately sank: "Very good, Xu will be long. Since you took the initiative to mention the Principality of Constantine, then I have a question to ask you. Since the Chamber of Commerce I rented the land in the Principality of Standin. Why didn’t I hire the local farmers in the Principality of Constantine to help you open up the land? Do you have to dig away the experienced old farmers from Bangta City? Do you know that this is the agricultural development of our Bangta City? Will it have a serious impact?"
Xu Yi smiles unchanged: "I just know this, so I will come to the special trip with the city owner to discuss this problem."
"Solve this problem?" Earl Stark snorted. "You said it is easy. How important are these experienced old farmers to our Bangta City? Do you know that you have taken them away? If you affect the food production of our Bangta City, you can afford this charge. ?"
"I certainly can't afford it." Xu also smiled and said honestly: "Food production is the top priority of our Lampari Kingdom. I can't do this if I am bold enough. But the city owner, forgive me. I bluntly say that although food production has a very important relationship with people, it does not require so many people."
Earl Stark frowned: "What? Come and sell me your theory of magical machinery instead of manpower?"
Xu also shrugged: "I don't think there is any problem with this theory. If you can do more with the help of magic machinery, isn't this a good thing?"
"Oh, magic machinery is a dead thing after all, and people are alive, and people can do things that many magical machines can't replace."
Xu also smiled a little, thinking that many magical machines can do things, and people can't do the same.
But this time he came not to argue with the Earl of Stark, and thought: "The Lord of the City. Anyway. I think you should admit. It is with the help of farmland magic machinery, we are Lampari Can the kingdom’s food production in the past two years suddenly increase so much?

Count Stark silently.
The help of farmland magic machinery for the improvement of grain production in the Kingdom of Lampari cannot be denied by anyone. Even the conservatives headed by the Stark family cannot deny it because they are one of the biggest beneficiaries.
This is precisely the reason why the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and Xu also have the support of His Royal Highness Servini, but still the most important reason for being safe.
"Of course, I am not here to invite you to the master of the city. It is to show you why the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce will bring the farmers of Bangta City to the Principality of Stading." .
Count Stark squinted at Xu and nodded gently: "Let's talk."
Xu Yisong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Earl of Stark would like to think about himself and the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce. In the matter of the relationship between Bangta City and his fundamental interests, he will still listen patiently afterwards.
"The master of the city, I think you will worry that we will bring the farmers of Bangta City to the Principality of Stading. Does this mean that this will affect the food production of Bangta City?" Xu also asked.
"Crap!" Earl Stark said coldly: "The farmers in Bangta City are limited. If you get rid of some of them, it will not be affected!"
Xu also showed a well-thought-out smile: "I think you don't have to worry about the owner of the city. First of all, we are only planning to recruit no more than 2,000 people from Bangta City. I think there are more than 40,000 people outside of Bangta City. For farmers, what is it?"
"Only two thousand people?" Earl Stark gave a slight glimpse: "Do you have a new Feishang Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Stading not renting 100,000 hectares of land? How is the 2,000 people?"
"According to the agreement signed by our Chamber of Commerce and the Principality of Constantine, we must recruit no less than 5,000 local workers in the Principality of Constantine."
Count Stark slightly frowned: "Even if you add 5,000 people, I am afraid it is not enough? 100,000 hectares. According to my estimation, at least 10,000 talents are barely enough."
Xu also shook his head: "The master of the city, to be honest, the people of the Principality of Constantine are... too lazy, so I don't expect the 5,000 people to help, because their ability to work is not as good as I am. Two thousand people recruited in Bangta City."
Count Stark slightly sighed with a sigh of relief: "The people of the Principality of Constantine are surprisingly lazy, I know it. Your Chamber of Commerce has to go to the place to invest, and it is not your loss."

Thank you for the concern of the owner of the city.
Xu also smiled and said:
The main character of the city, I want to say is that the 100,000 hectares of land are cultivated. In fact, according to my estimation, these two are recruited from Bangta City. A thousand people can solve it all."

This is impossible!
Earl Stark said categorically:
Our Stark family has hundreds of years of experience in farmland planting, far more than you know. In my experience, this 100,000 hectares of land. You may be able to use all 10,000 people to open up, two thousand people? Don't think about it!"
Xu also smiled softly and suddenly said: "So the master of the city, how about making a gamble?"
Earl Stark showed a look of vigilance: "What gambling?"
"If our new flyers can't rely on the two thousand people to completely open the 100,000 hectares of land, then our Chamber of Commerce will send all these two people back to Bangta City and pay the corresponding compensation for each of them. At the same time, it also paid 500,000 gold coins to the city government as compensation for the grain production in Bangta City. What do you think of the urban master?"
Count Stark suddenly looked at Xu Yi: "Are you serious?"
"I am very serious." Xu also nodded. "If the city owner does not believe you, I can guarantee the contract on behalf of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce and the city government."
Count Stark inexplicably looked at Xu Yi and asked: "How can it be completely open? How is this standard determined?"

It’s very simple. Of course, the standard for reclamation is food production. The land of the Principality of Constantine is suitable for growing rice, so it is calculated according to the production standard of about two tons of rice per hectare per year of farmland in Kalmar City. Rice should be around 200,000 tons. If it is lower than this amount, then I will lose."
"Do you really want to do this?" Earl Stark looked at Xu Yi, who was serious in expression, and his expression was incredible.
In his view, it is very difficult for 100,000 hectares of land to be fully opened, and Xu also relied on only 2,000 people to complete this difficult task. This is simply impossible.
Of course, this does not matter to Earl Stark. When he thought about it, he asked Xu Yi: "So if you reached this number?"
"So even if I win, then I hope that the city owner will promise me a request." Xu Yidao.
"What request?" Earl Stark asked curiously.
This Xu Yiming knew that he was dealing with him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but he ran to discuss with him that he promised him a request. Wouldn't it be that his head burned out?
"This request is actually very beneficial to Bangta City. It is like this..." (To be continued.)
