Chapter 57 Fertilizers

More than a month has passed since the new year of 3782 on the mainland's new calendar. The people on the Sainz mainland have long since gotten rid of the New Year's carnival and returned to their normal life on weekdays.

But for the people of Bangta City, it seems that some changes have begun to appear in Bangta City at the beginning of this year.

After Count Stark became the city lord last year, he vigorously implemented the policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, and targeted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce everywhere, which almost reduced all commercial activities in Bangta City to zero.

However, at the beginning of this year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce held a press conference in Bangta City, announcing that this year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would still vigorously develop various new types of magic machinery and continue to work hard to improve the lives of people in Bangta City.

Originally, everyone thought that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was so high-profile in Bangta City, and Earl Stark would definitely have some actions and reactions, but to everyone's surprise, Earl Stark not only did not respond to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again as everyone imagined Instead, they publicly stated in the "Bangta Daily" that the agricultural development of Bangta City is inseparable from the help of the farmland magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Agriculture in Tacheng further developed. Because judging from last year's situation, Earl Stark has clearly forged a deadly feud with Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there is absolutely no room for relaxation.

But now that Earl Stark has made such a statement, doesn't it mean that the two have let go of their past suspicions, but they are about to start cooperation?

The series of events that happened next seemed to further prove everyone's guess.

The day after Earl Stark and the "Bonta Daily" were published, Smitha Potter, president of the Porter Chamber of Commerce, announced in the "Bonta Daily" that the Sandy River connected to the Rum River canal Projects start again, and the Porter Chamber of Commerce will recruit a large number of suitable workers from all over the city of Bonta. To dig open canals.

This canal project was proposed by Xu Yi when Earl Summer was still the city lord, and jointly undertaken by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amley Chamber of Commerce.

Later, after Earl Stark became the lord of the city, the canal project was put on hold indefinitely on the grounds that the canal project had not been thoroughly investigated and that the manpower tax of Bangta City was wasted.

Now that the Porter Chamber of Commerce has announced the restart of the canal project in a high-profile manner, neither Earl Stark nor the City Lord's Mansion has expressed any objection to this, which means that Earl Stark's attitude seems to have loosened. It is enough to shock everyone that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will go back to the Sangqiton Industrial Zone to set up a factory, because in the eyes of everyone. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce was so suppressed by Earl Stark last year that it should never return to Bonta City, but now the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has not only reopened the factory. It even announced to everyone through the "Bangta Daily" that this agricultural fertilizer factory was actually set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce under the special instruction of the City Lord's Mansion!

Everyone was a little confused about what was going on. Is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doing this to mean that they would surrender to the City Lord's Mansion?

But the fact is not like this, because according to the report of "Banta Daily", this agricultural fertilizer factory does not seem to have anything to do with the City Lord's Mansion. It was built entirely by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So does this mean... what deal was secretly made between Xu Yi and Earl Stark?

This is kind of incredible...

While there were speculations about the secret transactions between Xu Yi and Earl Stark. The crowd also expressed strong interest in this so-called "fertilizer".

According to the introduction of "chemical fertilizer" in "Banta Daily", what is this "chemical fertilizer". It is used to improve the land environment and increase food production.

This made people a little unconvinced. Isn't it already determined how much food a piece of land will produce? Why does this fertilizer increase the yield? This is too nonsense.

However, out of the consistent trust in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, everyone temporarily stayed on the sidelines.

However, within a few days, the City Lord's Mansion issued an order. But it made the whole Bangta City boil again.

"What kind of fertilizer are you actually forcing us to buy? What does our new city lord think?" Sakci glanced at Cantona, who was sitting across from him with a smile on his face, and asked, "Hey, Cantona. Tuner, what the hell are you talking about? Isn't it really like what other people said, President Xu has turned and joined the Stark family now, right?"

Cantona originally wanted to stay on the sidelines and observe the reactions of the crowd, but now he can't calm down when he hears the question of Sakeqi.

"What nonsense? Father Sakci, I always thought you knew things better than those guys, how could you believe this kind of nonsense?" Cantona curled his lips in dissatisfaction. "Although President Xu and Earl Stark have reached an agreement, what does this have to do with him joining the Stark family? According to what I said, it is clear that President Xu turned us, the city lord, to his side. That's right."

Father Sakeqi shook his head: "I'm too lazy to care about their big men, so tell me why the City Lord's Mansion forces every peasant in Bangta City to buy chemical fertilizers, right? Many people are now suspicious of Lord City Lord. What means was used to force President Xu to open this fertilizer factory, and then he could make money from us farmers."

"Come on, how much money can ordinary farmers have? How can President Xu and Earl Stark like it?" Cantona said with tears in his eyes, "Okay, let me tell you the truth, this fertilizer is really good. When the time comes, you can sprinkle it according to the farming instructions issued by the city lord's mansion, and I can guarantee that it will be much stronger than before when it is harvested."

"It's so smart?" Sakci looked at Cantona suspiciously together with several representatives of the surrounding villagers who were summoned by Cantona.

"Of course!" Cantona nodded affirmatively. "You should know that I just came back from the Principality of Standing? Let me tell you, before I came back, Xinfei Farm just finished harvesting the first season of rice..."

"Ah? It's still winter, how can you harvest rice?" a farmer asked in surprise.

"Stupid, I told you that there is the Principality of Standing, and the climate is different from ours here. Am I right, Cantona?" said another farmer.

"Well, the Principality of Standing has a mild climate all year round, and even the coldest time is similar to our spring here, so three crops of rice can be grown a year, and it grows very fast. Before I came back, it was just harvested in winter. Just planted a season of rice. Guess how much was harvested in total?"

Seeing the mysterious expression on Cantona's face, everyone knew that this number would be much higher than normal.

Sakeqi pondered for a moment and said: "According to the standard of Karma City, one hectare of rice is about two tons of rice. Judging from your appearance, it must be much higher than this, then I count you as one hectare and three tons. is that so?"

"No, higher than this." Cantona smiled and shook his head. "Let me tell you, in the more than 20,000 hectares of fields reclaimed this year, a total of more than 70,000 tons of rice have been harvested, with an average of nearly four tons per hectare!"

"No way!"

"how is this possible!"…

"joke!"

...

All the farmers, including Sakci, stood up in shock.

For these old farmers who have been working in the fields for many years, it is very clear how much food can be produced in the fields.

Sakeqi's guess that two tons of rice can be produced in one acre of land is a very bold guess, because even in Kalmar City, where rice cultivation is relatively developed, one hectare of rice field is only about two tons of rice.

And if you want to achieve this data, you have to have a bumper year, which is difficult to achieve under normal circumstances.

"Why am I joking with you. Let me tell you, this is the power of chemical fertilizers. In the more than 20,000 hectares of fields that have been cultivated, we have all used the latest chemical fertilizers developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the effect is very good. If you don't believe it, go and ask the people who passed from here in our Bangta City."

"They are all in the Principality of Standing, how can we go so far to ask?" Sakci snorted and asked again: "Okay, Cantona, I believe in you, and even more in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and Xu. Chairman. Since this fertilizer is so useful, we will mobilize the farmers in Bangta City to use it. But Cantona, can you tell me why this fertilizer is so useful?"

"Yeah, let us know what's going on, it's easier to talk to others when you go."

"That's right, if this fertilizer is really useful, why didn't Xinfei Chamber of Commerce take it out earlier?"

...

"Hey, do you still want to blame President Xu?" Cantona glared at everyone. "Tell you, this fertilizer is the secret recipe that President Xu finally obtained from the elves. You shouldn't have any doubts about the ability of the elves in terms of plant growth, right?"

"Elves?" Everyone looked at each other with a stunned look.

Any other explanation for this kind of thing will make them suspicious, but if it is said to be the secret recipe obtained from the elves, then no one will doubt it anymore.

After all, the elves are a race with a history of tens of thousands of years, much older than humans, and everyone knows that the elves are extremely good at coexisting with plants, and they can even grow a forest out of thin air on a barren wasteland. It is not too unusual to come up with something that promotes the growth of rice.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Cantona shook his head and sighed in his heart.

In his opinion, Xu Yi must have paid a great price to obtain such an important secret recipe from the elves.

As far as he knew, in this fertilizer factory, neither Xu Yi nor the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually made any money. The entire factory was mainly controlled by the elves. Xu Yi spent so much effort to solve the problem of cost. , just for the sake of the farmers in Bangta City.

However, even so, he is still subject to the unfounded suspicions of these ordinary farmers in Bangta City, which is really worthless for him.
