Chapter 64: talks

Although there were only three people, the dinner at the city's main government continued for more than an hour.
After eating, Xu Yi and Leslie Leslie were invited by the Count of Satsuma to a small living room, and after a few chats, the Count of Satsuma quickly pulled the subject to Xu Yi.
"Mr. Xu, you have asked Leslie to come out and ask me to see you, then I have seen me now, can't always be as silent as I was at the table?"
Viscount Lesley heard the words from Xu also, and Xu nodded, sorting out his thoughts and smiling: "The Lord of the City, this is the first time I have received your interview, and my heart is a little nervous, and it is inevitable that there will be some silence."
Count Satsuma waved his hand: "When Leslie introduced this to me, this is not the case. He said that you are a very good guy, and from the development of your new flying business association, I also believe him. Judgment. You said that I will be nervous when I see you? Can't I see it?"
Xu also smiled and decided to let go of this topic. After thinking about it, he continued: "Well, then no matter how tight I am, I can’t be nervous now. The master of the city, this time I ask the Viscount to ask for it, of course. There is something that needs your help."
"There is something right, if nothing happens, will you have nothing to see me as an old man? I am not a beautiful woman." Count Satsuma nodded. "Let's say, what is it? If it's like Leslie, look for me to help you promote the products of your chamber of commerce. There are so many chambers of commerce in Bangta City, I can't be more than one."
Xu can't help but smile, I don't think this Count of Satsuma is quite funny.
This is fine. If he is a stubborn old-fashioned aristocrat, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get approval for what he wants to discuss today.
"Of course it won't. You are the owner of the city of Bangta. If you just ask for your promotion, it will be too wasteful."
"Oh? So I have a greater use?" Count Satsuma looked at Xu Yi with interest.
"Hey... the master of the city, I think you should have some understanding of the farmer support plan launched by our Chamber of Commerce some time ago?" Xu also asked.
Count Satsuma nodded. "There is not only some understanding, but I have studied it. I have to say that the plan proposed by your Chamber of Commerce is very good. If it can be implemented smoothly, I want to treat the ordinary farmers of our Bangta City. Life will be very helpful."
"Improving the life of ordinary farmers is actually only a preliminary purpose." Xu also continued. "The reason why our Chamber of Commerce wants to implement this plan is to increase the planting capacity of ordinary farmers by popularizing the agricultural magic machinery produced by the Chamber of Commerce, and to help them plant more farmland to provide higher The food production, while improving their lives, also frees them from farmland, allowing them more time to do more work."

For example, entering the factory work of your chamber of commerce?
asked the Earl of Satsuma to raise his eyebrows.
Xu Yizhen smiled: "The master of the city, the work in the factory of the Chamber of Commerce is now very popular. I think those farmers who will have the choice will definitely agree."
Count Satsuma nodded lightly: "I know something about it. I heard that ordinary workers in your Chamber of Commerce factory can get at least six gold coins a month, which is quite a lot in our Bangta City."
"In fact, if you let me tell the truth, this salary is still a bit low. I would rather give the workers some wages so that they can work in our Chamber of Commerce for a long time. You may not know, this time, Saltan City. The Leo Chamber of Commerce has used a high salary to dig up many of our workers in the Chamber of Commerce, which led us to re-recruit workers and then retrain them, thus delaying production schedules."

The Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City?
Earl Satsuma frowned.
There are other chambers of commerce that come to our Bonta to dig people? Then you let them dig away?

Xu also spread his hand and looked helpless: "No way, the Leo Chamber of Commerce gave them a high salary of ten gold coins a month. Many workers could not stand this and they were dug away."
The Earl of Satsuma snorted softly: "Ten gold coins? They really got the money. But why does the Leo Chamber of Commerce want to dig your workers?"

Because the Leo Chamber of Commerce also produces magic machinery like our Chamber of Commerce.
Xu also explained.
"It turns out that... what do you do with the corresponding measures? Why don't you raise the salary of the workers?" asked the Count of Satsuma.
"This...the Lord of the City, although I really want to directly raise the salaries of the workers, but as a Chamber of Commerce with long-term plans, it is not a correct decision to raise the salaries of the workers, because it will disrupt our entire The plan will likely affect the development of the Chamber of Commerce in the future, so at present we can only compensate through other aspects, such as giving workers more benefits. Of course, the workers who are dug are only a small part, most workers Still more willing to stay in our Chamber of Commerce."
"What are the plans of the Chamber of Commerce, I don't care, but I hope that you can handle this matter properly. Your new Flying Chamber of Commerce is now the fastest growing and most promising Chamber of Commerce in our Bangta City. I don't want you to be easily attacked. It’s awkward.
Count Satsuma waved his hand.
Xu also raised his eyes slightly unexpectedly.
From the meaning of the words of the Earl of Satsuma, he clearly has a very positive and supportive attitude towards the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce.
This is great news for Xu.
With the support of the main city of Bangta, at least in the city of Bangta, the new Feishang Chamber will have a lot less trouble.
"The owner of the city please rest assured that although the Leo Chamber of Commerce itself is many times more powerful than our new company, I am sure that they will not be our opponents in the magic machinery!" Xu is also absolutely sure.
The Earl of Satsuma stared at Xu and looked at it for a while, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. Then we said back to the topic just now. You said that the main purpose of the promotion of the farmers' support plan is to liberate the ordinary farmers from the farmland and let them engage in other work. I can understand this idea, but you know. I don't know, farmland is the most fundamental thing for Bangta City, even for the entire Lampari Kingdom. If there is not enough food to produce, no matter what is just false. When people are hungry, what? Everything can be done."
Seeing the emperor of Satsuma, his expression was solemn, and Xu also was serious. He solemnly nodded and said: "This understands the concern of the city owner. But the master of the city, I think this is entirely because you don’t understand the magic machinery of the farmland, so there will be Such concerns. In this regard, I said that you may doubt, then let the Viscount adults explain it to you."
The eyes of Count Satsuma turned to the Priest Leslie.
Viscount Lesley had long been prepared to lay down the cup in his hands without hesitation, and nodded with a smile: "The Earl, for this, I can prove it for Xu. Just take the example in my territory. At the harvest this year, the total amount of wheat fields that need to be harvested in my territory is about seven hectares. In the past years, the seven hectares of wheat fields require me to send all the slaves, guards, and other laborers to complete the harvest within half a month. However, this year I purchased two small magic harvesters from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but in less than two days I completed all the harvesting, and only used less than 20 slaves from beginning to end.

Count Satsuma raised his eyebrows: "Are you true? Just two days? Is it done with less than twenty slaves?"
"How can I lie to you, Earl, I am not only me, you can also ask other nobles in Bangta City, as long as there is a wheat field in the territory that needs to be harvested, everyone buys a small magic harvester. This also saves a lot of time and labor for them. Your Earl is not here, if you are, I strongly recommend that you buy two, because this is really good."
Earl Satsuma looked over and looked at Xu for a while and slowly nodded. "I just heard about it before. I can't think of the actual situation. It's so amazing. Xu Yi, even if you leave it alone, just rely on this small magic harvester. Your new flying business association has made great achievements."
Viscount Leslie laughed and said: "The Earl, you don't worry, I haven't finished yet. In addition to the small magic harvester, the new Flyer also launched a small magic ripper that greatly improved the pre-planting pine. Soil efficiency. Now with the help of a small magic ripper, I have decided to open all the 21 hectares of farmland that can be used as arable land in the territory, and wait until autumn to plant all, if nothing unexpected, In the coming year, you can get several times more food production than this year."
The Earl of Satsuma did not show any surprises this time, but frowned.
"Lesley, it's such a simple thing to farm. Even if you have a small magic harvester, you can increase the harvest speed. With a small magic ripper, you can improve the efficiency of the loose soil, but you can plant the farmland. Just harvesting and loosening soil, as well as a lot of things to do with seedlings, sowing, weeding, drought relief, etc. Do you rush to open up so much farmland and make sure that there are enough people?"
Viscount Lesley smiled and did not answer, looking at Xu Yi.
"The urban master, the so-called farmland magic machinery, can be more than just a small magic harvester and a small magic harvester. We will also develop a small magic excavator, a small magic pump, a small magic digging machine, A small magic leveling machine and so on a series of magic machines, the ultimate goal is to use magic machinery to replace all manpower and liberate manpower from the farmland. Just yesterday, I also discussed with Viscount Leslie, intending to be in his territory. The re-planning and redesign of the farmland made his territory become more suitable for the operation of farmland magic machinery, and more suitable for the cultivation of rice fields."

Wait, it’s more suitable to grow rice?
Count Satsuma.
Bangta City mainly grows wheat. What does Lesley do to replant rice? This is not a place with a particularly rich water source like Kalmar City. I am afraid it is not worth it?

Viscount Lesley smiled: "The Earl, in fact, the water source of Bangta City is not bad, but it was difficult to use it before. Now with the help of magic machinery, it is much easier to use it. Eating bread is easy to get bored, isn't it? Sometimes you have to change your taste."
The Count of Satsuma turned his head and looked at Xu Yi. Suddenly, he snorted: "I remembered that the new product that your New Flying Chamber of Commerce recently promoted is the magic rice cooker. This thing, but most people need to eat rice. No wonder. You will plant rice with Leslie, I am afraid you still want to replant rice in our entire Bangta City?"
Xu Yixiao did not speak.
