Chapter 59 Liberating Productivity

"Fifty gold coins! That's a lot!" Freeman stood up abruptly, his hands and feet shaking with excitement.

Although he guessed that there should be some good rewards for winning in the end, he never imagined that he would be able to get a reward of up to fifty gold coins all at once!

For a poor family like him, if he has these fifty gold coins, it means that he can get rid of the current embarrassing life immediately.

Not only can the house, which has been leaking in several places, be renovated, but even the furniture in the house can be completely replaced. In addition, I can buy two new dresses for my wife and a few more for the children. A toy they had long fantasized about...

Xu Yi watched the expression on Freeman's face keep changing, and did not interrupt his reverie with a sound.

Judging from Alex's description and the attire on Freeman's body, he could guess that the man's family must be very difficult.

Fifty gold coins are naturally nothing to Xu Yi now, but it must be a very significant shock to Freeman.

I think when Xu Yi first crossed over to Sainz Continent, he almost starved to death because he was unfamiliar.

At that time, if someone suddenly gave him fifty gold coins, I am afraid that his excitement would not be much less than that of Freeman now.

After a while, Freeman regained some composure, looked at Xu Yi, swallowed with great difficulty, and slowly asked, "Yes... President, is what you said true? You don't? Are you lying to me? Can I really get fifty gold coins as a reward?"

Xu Yi nodded with great certainty: "Of course it's true. I think since you're from Bangta, you shouldn't be unaware of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Do you think I'll ruin the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce for fifty gold coins? ?"

"No, no, of course not, of course not!" Freeman waved his hands again and again. "Lord President, don't get me wrong, I just... I couldn't believe it for a while, I definitely didn't want to doubt you."

Xu Yi smiled lightly: "I understand. Then Freeman, have you decided to choose this reward now?"

"I'm determined..." Freeman had just blurted out halfway, and suddenly stopped. "Wait...Wait a minute. President, you just said that there are two rewards I can choose from. Can I ask what the other reward is?"

Seeing the light in Freeman's eyes, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that although this Freeman looks honest, he is not stupid.

"Of course. But I don't think the second reward will make you so excited, because this reward is not real gold coins, but gives you a chance."

"Chance?" Freeman scratched his head and looked at Xu Yi inexplicably. "Master President, this... what does this mean?"

"Freeman, I heard that you came to Bangta from Irish Village to sell wheat, so you should have noticed the wheat fields near Bangta City?" Xu Yi asked instead.

"A wheat field?" Freeman tilted his head and thought, then nodded. "Well, I saw a lot on the roadside. Speaking of this, Mr. President, the wheat fields near Bangta City seem to be harvested very early. I think the wheat straws in the fields have been burned for a long time."

Xu Yi nodded with a smile: "It's great that you can notice this. But if I told you that the wheat fields outside Bangta City were harvested more than ten days ago, what would you think?"

"How is that possible!" Freeman shook his head vigorously after being stunned for a moment. "The wheat just ripened more than ten days ago, so how could it be harvested in a day or two? Mr. President, a big man like you doesn't know anything about the field. You don't know that harvesting wheat is very troublesome. It took more than a week to get it all done.”

Xu Yi stretched out his right index finger and shook it: "No, I understand very well. And the harvesting in the wheat fields outside the city, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is all involved."

Freeman looked at Xu Yi strangely: "Mr. President, I remember that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sells magic fans, right? Do you still care about harvesting wheat?"

"Because we not only sell magic fans, but also small magic harvesters." Xu Yi smiled and took a painting from Alex's hand and unfolded it in front of Freeman. "Look, this is it."

Freeman peered out.

This painting depicts a scene of harvesting wheat in a farmland, but unlike the few people in the field that Freeman was familiar with harvesting straw with knives, there is only one strong man pushing a grotesque machine in this painting. Things go in the fields.

The front end of this strange thing opened a big mouth and swallowed the wheat, but a small mouth was exposed at the back end, and the grains of wheat were continuously sprayed out.

Freeman watched for a while, frowned and asked, "Master President, is this thing true? How can it be so easy to harvest wheat?"

"It's that simple." Xu Yi directly shoved the painting to Freeman, and then said earnestly: "Now, Freeman, let's go back to the topic just now. The second reward you can choose is an opportunity, and this opportunity , it is related to this small magic harvester, and it is also related to our upcoming small magic ripper..."

"Why?" Viscount Leslie frowned slightly, looking at Xu Yi who was looking down at some documents. "You should know that even if the autumn harvest is basically over now, as long as your small magic power harvester is produced, there are still many nobles in Bangta City who will rush for it. As for the small magic power ripper, it is a lot of people very early. I just submitted an order to you. The two magic machines that are so popular now can be sold for as high as 120 gold coins. How can you give it to an ordinary farmer who has nothing to do with you? Xu Yi, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Yi raised his head, showed a relaxed smile to Viscount Leslie, and shook his head: "It's not a gift, but a loan. It can't be wrong."

Viscount Leslie snorted softly: "Lend? Lending to others without paying a penny, is that different from giving away?"

"Of course there is a difference." Xu Yi observed Viscount Leslie's face, and felt that the Viscount seemed to take this issue very seriously. After thinking about it, he decided to explain it to him. "Lord Viscount, this is actually part of the farmer support plan I made. I discussed this farmer support plan with Sebas before, and I think he should have already reported it to you."

"He did mention it to me, but when you talked to him about this plan, it was just an idea, and there was no specific plan at all. Why did you suddenly decide to do it now? Send... well, lend it to that small farmer. Will the Magic Harvester and the Small Magic Scarifier help with this plan?"

"It's very helpful." Xu Yi knew very well that Viscount Leslie was a very assertive and insightful person. If he wanted to convince him, he could not use a vague tone. "Lord Viscount, before explaining in detail, I want to ask you a few questions."

Hearing Xu Yi's words, Viscount Leslie immediately knew that Xu Yi did have a long-term and profound consideration for this matter, so he felt relieved, relaxed his body, leaned on the seat, and looked at Xu Yi at his leisure. Made a gesture of please.

"You ask."

"Okay. First question, Lord Viscount, where do you think the small magic harvester and the small magic ripper are used?"

"Is that a question? Of course it's used on farmland."

"Then the second question is to limit the scope to Bangta City. What percentage of the farmland currently owned by the nobles represented by you occupies all the farmland within Bangta City?"

"This... I remember that I only counted it once the year before, and it should account for about 30%." Viscount Leslie thought for a while and replied.

"Very well, since you nobles account for 30%, what about the remaining 70%? Who is it in the hands of?" Xu Yi asked again.

"Nonsense, it is not in the hands of our nobles. Of course, it belongs to the royal family of the kingdom. The farmland in the hands of these nobles is still given by the royal family."

"I'm afraid this is not quite accurate." Xu Yi shook his head. "Although theoretically, all the land in the kingdom belongs to the royal family of the kingdom, but in fact the royal family certainly cannot have enough energy and manpower to reclaim and plant all the farmland by themselves, so in fact these farmlands have now been allocated to In the hands of the rest of the ordinary farmers in the kingdom. In theory, they all rented the farmland of the royal family, but in fact, these farmlands can be considered to be controlled by these farmers now.”

Viscount Leslie pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "You are right to say that. But what does this have to do with what you said?"

"It has a lot to do with it." Xu Yi continued to maintain a positive tone. "Lord Viscount, at present, all the small magic harvesters produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have been sold to these nobles represented by you, but none of them have fallen into the hands of those farmers. In other words, only your nobles have mastered them. These 30% of the farmland can enjoy the convenience brought by the small magic harvester, but those farmers can only rely on manual labor to complete the heavy harvest as before."

Viscount Leslie frowned: "What? Those farmers can't afford small harvesters, do you still plan to blame our nobles?"

"No wonder it's meaningless." Xu Yi waved his hand. "I'm just stating a fact. The fact before us now is that, just taking Bangta City as an example, only 30% of the farmland owned by the nobles can be quickly harvested, and the remaining 70% of the farmland can't do the same. And what I want to do is to help these farmers also enjoy the benefits of a quick harvest."

"So you simply gave the small magic harvester and the small magic ripper directly to that ordinary farmer named Freeman?" Viscount Leslie was still puzzled. "But Xu Yi, what can you use if you send one out? According to the area under the jurisdiction of Bangta City, I don't think it's enough for you to send out a hundred units? Besides, what is the benefit of this matter to you? What are the benefits of the Flying Chamber of Commerce?"

"Lord Viscount, let me remind you again, it's not giving, but borrowing. Although you can't see the benefits now, I'm sure that our Chamber of Commerce will be able to make a lot of profits from this business in the future, please. Trust me." Xu Yi smiled slightly: "In addition, this matter is of great significance to me personally, and it is of great benefit to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Viscount Leslie shook his head in confusion: "I don't see any benefit."

Xu Yi smiled, a strange expression on his face.

"Lord Viscount, have you heard a word called liberating productivity?"
