Chapter 17 Drunk Driving
After inspecting the fertilizer plant, Seweini did not leave directly, but drove Xu Yi in her light golden magic car, and went to Koror Village, which Xu Yi had mentioned before.
Although basic crops such as wheat and rice are the foundation of agriculture, fruit tree planting in Koror Village is also an important industry, and it has developed rapidly in the past two years, bringing a lot of money to the villagers of Koror Village. The income naturally attracted Seweney's attention.
"Based on the situation of the autumn harvest last year, I think the total wheat harvest at the end of the spring harvest this year should be quite astonishing." Looking across the large golden field in the farmland beside the road, Xu Yi mused, "Seweni, I I feel...the basic food in Bangta City is enough, and we can try more new agricultural development methods like fruit canning factories."
"If you only consider Banta City, then of course there is no problem. The problem is that we can't only consider the city of Banta City." Seweini shook his head. "Although the farmland magic machinery of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has greatly increased the reclamation of farmland in the entire kingdom, and the food production has also increased a lot, but according to last year's statistics, it still cannot be regarded as being able to fully meet the needs of the entire kingdom. .”
Xu Yi was a little surprised: "In addition, the 100,000 tons of grain we brought back from the Principality of Standing is not enough?"
"Not enough." Seweney shook his head. "According to the statistics of the Department of Agriculture, the current total population of the kingdom is about 600 to 7 million. Even if the minimum food consumption per person is guaranteed, at least 1.2 million tons are needed every year. Last year, the total grain consumption of the entire kingdom The total harvest is less than one million tons, even if you count the one hundred thousand tons of wheat you shipped back, it still cannot meet the minimum demand."
Xu Yi couldn't help frowning, he didn't know any real data before.
Originally, judging from the situation in Bangta City, he thought that the current Lampari Kingdom should never worry about food anymore.
"Could it be...is there still people starving to death?"
"It's not enough to starve to death, it's just that I can't eat enough." Seweini glanced at Xu Yi, showing a gratified smile. "Xu Yi, in fact, I have always been grateful to you. If you hadn't invented those farmland magic machines, which greatly increased the grain production in the kingdom, many people in the kingdom would still starve to death every year."
"This is not something worthy of praise." Xu Yi waved his hand, frowned and said, "In other words, we have to greatly promote chemical fertilizers. If every city in the kingdom can be like our Bangta City, then not only everyone You can eat enough, and there will be surplus food left over.”
"This is your task." Seweini pointed to Xu Yi. "I know that the fertilizer processing plant is actually not under the jurisdiction of your chamber of commerce, but those elves are in charge. But Xu Yi, since you have the ability to attract those elves here to open such a fertilizer factory, then I believe you also have The ability allows them to open more chemical fertilizer factories. To meet the kingdom's demand for chemical fertilizers. Or... simply learn how to make those chemical fertilizers from them."
Hearing Seweini's naked attitude. Xu Yi smiled wryly.
Why didn't he want to get the fertilizer formula from the Moon Shadow Tribe, but the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe were obviously not stupid, and they were very strict about this. Even when Xu Yi went to the fertilizer factory, he never revealed anything specific to him, so that until now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has still not been able to obtain any valuable information related to the formula from it.
But Xu Yi was not in a hurry.
Anyway, the Moon Shadow Tribe also opened a chemical fertilizer processing factory under his name, so it is impossible to have such strict defenses forever.
What's more, Xu Yi actually didn't feel too cold about what many people suggested to him in private, to drive away the elves after getting the formula, and to lead the fertilizer production by himself.
The chemical fertilizers in this world are not produced through various chemical researches like those on the earth, but are formulated entirely based on the ancient research of plants by the elves and the experience accumulated over thousands of years.
There are many things in it, even if it is really taken out, except for the elves, ordinary humans may not be able to complete it so well.
So for Xu Yi, the most appropriate way is to be able to maintain the current cooperative relationship.
Let the elves develop fertilizers according to human needs, which can be regarded as making full use of the value contained in them.
Although it is inevitable that some benefits will be earned by the elves, but because they are all adjusted and controlled by Xu Yi, this is completely acceptable.
After all, the needs of elves and humans don't have much conflict at all.
"Sevini, I think... Maybe you should give me more labor certificates. I can let more elves from the Moon Shadow tribe enter Bangta City, and open two more fertilizer factories. Or... I can directly It’s good to open a chemical factory in the Principality of Standing. It is the hometown of the Moon Shadow tribe, and the production scale can be larger there. Anyway, the road leading to the Principality of Standing has been built now. With the help of large magic freight locomotives, the transportation industry will be more convenient. .”
"Hmm... These two suggestions are good. I'll think about it. Maybe it can be done at the same time. In addition, I think..."
Sevini turned his head and just described his thoughts to Xu Yi, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Yi's face suddenly changed, and he rushed forward.
"What are you doing..."
Sevini just uttered a few words with a look of astonishment, but Xu Yi had already firmly pressed him under him, and then heard a loud "boom".
The entire magic car seemed to be hit by something directly, the body shook violently, and ran directly into the farmland next to the road, only to be stopped by the mud.
After the magic car stabilized, Seweini immediately understood what had happened.
There was a car accident.
A trace of bewilderment flashed through Seweini's mind.
Although she has received many reports about car accidents recently, but this kind of thing happened to her suddenly, which still made her feel at a loss for a moment.
However, this is only for a moment, the next moment. She woke up immediately.
"Xu Yi, are you alright?"
The moment the car was hit, Seweini clearly heard Xu Yi's muffled groan of pain.
And now, although Xu Yi supported her with both arms and looked quite strong, the expression on his face was clearly very painful, as if he had suffered a serious injury.
"Hiss——" Xu Yi took a long breath and let it out again. The expression on his face eased a lot. Looking at Sevini who looked worried, he shook his head slightly: "I'm fine. I opened the magic shield Yes. Nothing serious."
"Really?" Seweini looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, but didn't say much.
Xu Yi took a closer look at Seweini to confirm that she was not injured, and then he settled down.
But it must be God. But found out immediately. The current posture of the two of them is really a little crazy.
If you look at it from the side. Xu Yi is now clearly trying to push Seweney down.
"Cough... okay, let's get out of the car first and stay in the car. It might be dangerous." Xu Yi coughed dryly, moved and pulled himself out.
When I opened the door and looked down, I found that Seweney's light golden magic car was actually only slightly damaged at the front, but overall there was no major problem.
However, when he looked up to the other side of the road, he found that in the farmland over there, there was a magic car lying on its back lying on its back.
"I want to see what jerk is driving around."
Xu Yi frowned, strode to the side of the magic car, and saw a young man in his early twenties passed out in the turned-down cockpit.
"Why does it look familiar?" Xu Yi thought for a moment, pulled the car door forcefully, and dragged the fainted young man out of the car.
Lying him horizontally on the ground, he found that this young man was actually Baron Billier!
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.
"This guy has such a big opinion on me and our chamber of commerce all day long, but he still can't resist the temptation of the magic glue car, so he bought one."
Xu Yi knelt down and patted Baron Billier's face twice. Baron Billier frowned slightly, grunted a few times, and woke up with his eyes open.
Seeing that it was Xu Yi at a glance, Baron Billier immediately widened his eyes.
"why you?"
As soon as Baron Billier opened his mouth, Xu Yi suddenly felt a strong smell of alcohol rushing towards his face, and couldn't help snorting coldly: "Why can't it be me? Baron Billier, tell you, you have caused trouble."
Baron Billier turned his head with difficulty and glanced at the overturned magic car, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and when he turned his head to look at Xu Yi again, his expression immediately became serious, and he groaned: "Cause trouble? Huh, even if Hitting your car, what kind of accident can it be? Chairman Xu, I have told you many times, don't take yourself too seriously. You are just a humble businessman, what right do you have to be so arrogant in front of me? "
Xu Yi chuckled: "Okay, I'm indeed just a humble little businessman, but do you dare to look down on Her Royal Highness Seweini?"
"His Royal Highness?" Baron Billier was taken aback, and looked in the direction Xu Yi turned his head to look at, and saw Sevigny who had already gotten out of the car and the magic car parked in the farmland.
Seeing the pale gold on the outside of the magic car, Baron Billier's expression changed drastically.
This pale golden magic car caused a great sensation in the aristocratic circle of Bangta City at that time, because it was the only magic car sold by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in other colors than black and white, and there were still many Gold is valued by nobles.
Many aristocrats and big businessmen who ordered the magic car expressed to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that they also hoped to get a light golden magic car, but they were all rejected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the grounds that it was a special offer for His Royal Highness. up.
So as long as they saw this light golden magic car, everyone would understand that it must be the car of Her Royal Highness.
Regarding this point, how could Baron Billier, who was very fond of magic cars and once asked for a pale golden magic car, not know.
Now he actually hit Her Royal Highness!
How should this matter end? (To be continued..)
