Chapter 16 Her Royal Highness

The two harvest seasons of each year are the most important days in Lampari Kingdom and Bangta City.

This year's spring ploughing seems to be more important than in previous years. When the farmland on Viscount Leslie's territory was harvested, it not only attracted almost all the nobles who also own territory in Bangta City to come to watch, even the Lord of the city was also present. , and also delivered a speech on the spot, praising the harvest in the Viscounty Leslie.

In addition, the most surprising group of onlookers were a group of ordinary farmers from various villages outside Bangta City.

Some of these invited ordinary farmers are farmers who have been here before. Although they are still a little nervous when they come here, they are no longer as cautious as they were when they saw so many nobles when they first came here. .

Others, who came for the first time, all focused on the farmland, and their expressions were full of admiration.

These farmers, who have worked in the fields all their lives, have never seen such uniform and painted fields before.

And when these farmlands are already covered with golden ears of wheat, it is a beautiful pattern when it falls into their eyes.

The reason why so many people of all shapes and sizes gather here today can be traced back to the autumn harvest last year.

Last year, at the suggestion of Xu Yi, Viscount Leslie used the farmland magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to renovate all the farmland under his territory, and also reclaimed the land that was previously barren due to manpower problems.

After the autumn harvest, a large number of farmland magic machines continued to operate in this territory, and finally completed this huge project in a short period of time.

And now. It is time to accept the results of the project.

In view of this farmland renovation project is a pilot project in Bangta City. It was also designated as a pilot by His Majesty the King. As the lord of Bonta City, Count Sean Summer will of course be present.

In addition, Sevigny, who is the representative of the Agriculture Department, will also be present.

The outcome of this farmland reconstruction project will directly determine the next plan of the Agriculture Department.

Judging from the facts seen in front of us, this result is undoubtedly very good.

Looking around, there is a large area in front of you that is extremely flat and perfectly divided into pieces of golden fields that are crisscrossed and crisscrossed.

Even someone who is inexperienced in farming can easily tell that Viscount Leslie's territory is a bumper harvest this year.

When the Earl of Summer finished his speech, Viscount Leslie completed the ritual of sacrifice as the lord. Dozens of small magic harvesters lined up in a straight line, and each selected a piece of farmland and drove in.

In less than half an hour, each small magic harvester had already harvested one acre of wheat field.

Seeing that there was a large area of ​​golden wheat just now, there are only short straws left in the field, and the field is full of cloth bags full of wheat grains, all the onlookers could not help but let out a cry admiration.

It should be said that these people are not the first to witness the harvesting of the small magic harvester, but seeing such a spectacular harvesting scene again still makes everyone involuntarily amazed.

"President Xu, the harvesting speed this year seems to be much faster than last year." A noble pointed to the magic harvester heading for the next farmland and said to Xu Yi.

"Well, our chamber of commerce has made some improvements to this batch of magic harvesters to make the bucket rotate faster. The vibration frequency of the sieve machine is also much faster, and the efficiency has been greatly improved." Xu Yi replied with a smile. "How? Viscount Samuel. You didn't buy last year, are you interested this year?"

Viscount Samuel laughed: "Okay, I must buy a few of them this year! Not only this magic harvester, but also a magic excavator, magic ripper, etc. In short, I will also buy the farmland on my own territory. Remodeling like Viscount Leslie, I am really jealous when I see Viscount Leslie's harvest this year."

"Don't worry, Viscount Samuel, it's not too late for you to start now. As long as you start the renovation immediately after the spring harvest, with the magic machinery of our Chamber of Commerce, it will take half a month to get it all done, and you will definitely have time to plant the seeds. It's time to see such a spectacular sight on your territory."

"Okay, that's it. President Xu, since you have promised me, don't tell me that it is out of stock." Viscount Samuel reminded.

"Rest assured, our chamber of commerce has improved the efficiency of production a lot now, and there will never be a situation of out of stock."

Xu Yi also wanted to chat with Viscount Samuel, but when he finalized the deal, he caught sight of Sevigny waving to him in the distance, so he scolded Viscount Samuel and walked over.

"What? Miss Sevigny, seeing this scene in front of you, do you have more confidence in the farmland magic machinery of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

"Well, that's true." Sevigny nodded with a smile. "However, President Xu, I want to remind you that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still has 30,000 orders for various types of farmland magic machinery from our Agriculture Department that have not been completed. I hope you can give priority to guaranteeing this order."

Xu Yi glanced back at Viscount Samuel and shrugged: "No way, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is after all the Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, and we can't even do business in Bangta City."

"It's okay to promise business in Bangta City, but it's best not to do business in other cities for the time being. This will also help our Agriculture Department to comprehensively promote farmland magic machinery." Sevigny said. "President Xu, I think you should be very clear that if our Agriculture Department really promotes the development of farmland magic machinery, it will also greatly promote the development of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so I hope you can give priority to fulfilling our Agriculture Department's orders. As for other Can those magic machine tools stop temporarily?"

Xu Yi frowned: "Miss Sevigny, your request is a bit excessive. The contract we signed stipulated that all orders should be completed within two years. With our current production efficiency, I think it can be done easily. You It’s okay to ask us to give priority to fulfilling the orders from the Agriculture Department, but at the same time, I’m also asked to stop the research and development and manufacture of magic machine tools, which is really difficult for a strong man.”

Sevigny thought about it. I turned my head and looked for a while at the large farmland that was busy harvesting. A moment of silence. Suddenly he sighed softly: "Okay, President Xu, I admit that I am impatient. Seeing this scene in front of me, I am a little excited. I always think that if all parts of the entire Lampari Kingdom can change. It would be great to be like this, so I'm really sorry for making excessive demands on you."

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Don't be sorry. I understand your thoughts and anxiety in your heart. After all, as the master of this country, of course I hope this country can become stronger as soon as possible. Am I right? Her Royal Highness?"

"Yeah. I really hope..." Sevigny was startled suddenly, turned to look at Xu Yi, opened his eyes slightly, and asked in surprise, "When... when did you know?"

"I know soon." Xu Yi replied with a smile. "Actually, from the first time I saw you, it was very strange. Why is a girl with such a noble temperament like you only an ordinary official of the Agriculture Department? And you are still so young. After you came to Bangta City, I am even more curious, why you are only an ordinary official of the Agriculture Department, but you can always communicate directly with His Majesty the King, and even negotiate with me on behalf of His Majesty the King at certain times. Of course, at that time I just doubted your Your identity should not be simple. But I never thought that you are actually the Princess Royal Respected by our Lampari Kingdom."

Miss Sevigny. In other words, Princess Sevigny was just surprised for a moment, then immediately regained her composure and smiled: "If I guessed correctly, this should have been told to you by Viscount Leslie? I clearly told him not to talk too much."

"My esteemed highness, this is not something that must be hidden?" Xu Yi couldn't help saying. "Although hiding your identity will make you safer, it doesn't actually help you much in the work you're trying to do. If we had known that you were Her Royal Highness, our communication would only have been easier and more direct."

"Directly? Do you mean to ask me for territory more directly?" Sevigny said rudely.

Xu Yi smiled and didn't answer.

The so-called princess is different from the ordinary princess.

The princess only represents that she is the daughter of the king, and the princess, in addition to this level of identity, also represents the right to inherit the throne.

That's right, as the only daughter of His Majesty the King of Lampari, Princess Sevigny and her two brothers also have the right to the throne.

Even because of the outstanding performance of Princess Sevigny since she was a child, she has an excellent reputation in the Kingdom of Lampari, which makes many people feel that she is actually more qualified to ascend the throne than the two princes.

If it weren't for her being a girl after all, I'm afraid His Majesty the King would have appointed her to be the only heir to the throne.

Therefore, compared with the princesses of some other small countries on the Saines continent, Princess Sevigny has much more power.

If Xu Yi had long known that she was Her Royal Highness, it might have been possible to directly request her territory.

"You still give up on the territory." Sevigny said firmly. "Unless there are special circumstances, there will never be any new territories in the kingdom, and it is even more impossible to give you such an ordinary businessman. Perhaps because of the contribution made by your new flying chamber of commerce this time, the king will consider giving you one. Noble status, but will never give you territory."

Xu Yi shrugged indifferently: "Dear Your Royal Highness, you have misunderstood me. What I'm asking for is not territory, but a piece of land that I can use as I wish. We need a large area of ​​land for the development of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Land to build a factory. Now that His Majesty the King has agreed to lease me a large piece of land, my request has actually been met. I don’t have such extravagant expectations for the territory.”

Sevigny glanced at Xu Yi: "President Xu, I'm actually very surprised. Is there any difference between the land leased from the royal family and the land leased from Viscount Leslie?"

"Of course there is a difference. At least the royal family will not take this land back if they are unhappy." Xu Yi said.

Sevigny's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "President Xu, have you received any news?"

Xu Yi gave a wry smile, glanced at Viscount Leslie who was talking to Earl Summer in the distance, and sighed: "Yes, there are some things that even Viscount Leslie cannot control. And I, a small businessman, It is even more impossible to do so.”

Sevigny also looked at Viscount Leslie in the distance, pondered for a moment, and sighed softly: "Viscount Leslie is a good partner, but unfortunately, he is not strong enough." (To be continued. .)
