Does His Majesty the King have a headache? Krabi Morey, director of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark, doesn't know. It will be a headache for him, because he is very likely to be cut off by the furious His Majesty the King. ↖,

Although the Kingdom of Sark is not particularly affected by food production like the previous Kingdom of Lampari, so that large-scale famines often occur, it is actually extremely difficult, and it must spend a lot of fiscal revenue every year to import food from other countries superior.

In the past hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Sark imported grain from the neighboring kingdom of Falk in the northwest to solve the problem. In recent years, the grain production of the Kingdom of Lampari has increased significantly, and a large amount of grain is exported every year. After a careful comparison, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark found that the price of grain exported by the Kingdom of Lampari was 20% cheaper than that of the Kingdom of Falk, and the quality was still very good, so even if the two countries were feuding, The Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark still can only import grain from the Kingdom of Lampari at the risk of being scolded.

Last year alone, the Kingdom of Sak imported 360,000 tons of rice and 470,000 tons of wheat from the Kingdom of Lampari, plus other types of grain, totaling more than one million tons, which cost the Kingdom of Sak a whopping seven A huge budget of millions of gold coins.

Although compared with the previous years, the minimum annual consumption of 10 million gold coins for the Sark Kingdom to import food from the Falk Kingdom is much lower, but in the eyes of the Sark Kingdom Council and His Majesty the King, a large amount of grain is imported from the enemy. It's really not something to support.

What's more, the grain output of the Lampari Kingdom was even more miserable than that of the Sark Kingdom. Over the past few years, production has increased dramatically. There is obviously a special reason for being able to produce so much grain for export.

After investigation, the Sark Kingdom finally confirmed that the reason why the Lampari Kingdom’s grain output has increased sharply in the past few years is entirely because the various farmland magic machines developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have improved the utilization rate of the Lampari Kingdom’s farmland and greatly increased improved the agricultural efficiency of the Lampari Kingdom.

In addition, the chemical fertilizer produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is also a powerful tool to increase food production.

Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark conducted research and finally confirmed the plan to use the same method to increase food production.

But there is a problem with this scheme. That is because the Kingdom of Sark once launched an attack on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which caused the relationship between the two parties to be unharmonious, making the Kingdom of Sark always worried about the obstacles to importing a large number of farmland magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, the facts were far beyond the expectations of the Sak Kingdom.

First of all, the Kingdom of Lampari proposed to build a free trade zone with the Kingdom of Sark, which opened the first normal trade mode between the two countries in hundreds of years.

Then, when the two parties signed the free trade zone agreement, the Kingdom of Sark tentatively proposed to the two countries of Lampa, hoping to purchase a large number of new flying brand farmland magic machines through the Kingdom of Lampali, and unexpectedly got the support of the Kingdom of Lampali. Agreed, and got in touch with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce through the Lampari Kingdom very smoothly, and obtained a license to import a large number of farmland magic machines.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Sark also made a special trip to introduce some of the first batch of expert old farmers who participated in the new farming mode of farmland magic machinery from Bangta City. Assist in the domestic promotion of the Sark Kingdom.

Through the attempts of the autumn planting season of the previous year and the two seasons of last year, a large number of Xinfei brand farmland magic machines have been adopted. And the Sark Kingdom, which imitated the planting model of Bangta City, has achieved very good results, and the grain production of each season has been improved.

This spring has just passed, and according to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Sak Kingdom, the total grain output harvested in the country has more than doubled that of last spring.

Although this output is not enough for the Sark Kingdom to be self-sufficient, it has greatly eased the food pressure within the Sark Kingdom.

Coupled with a large amount of cheap and good food imported from the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Standing, the Kingdom of Sark has easily solved the year-round food problem this year.

This is the first time that the Sark Kingdom has seen such an easy solution to this primary problem in hundreds of years.

Therefore, from top to bottom, no matter how the Sark Kingdom feels about the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they all agree that it is necessary to continue to strengthen the improvement of farmland cultivation, and strive to approach or reach the current level of the Lampari Kingdom. , completely solve the problem of food self-sufficiency.

Against this background, the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Sark undertook the most important task of contacting the Kingdom of Lampari and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, striving to obtain more from the Kingdom of Lampari, especially from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. support.

It should be said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce showed a very satisfied attitude from the very beginning to Sark Kingdom.

Although the requirements put forward by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very harsh, for example, the Kingdom of Sark needs to exchange a large amount of mineral resources, and at the same time, a large part of the mineral resources in the Kingdom of Sark must be given up to them, but in general, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always shown a very good cooperative attitude.

For all kinds of farmland magic machinery that the Sak Kingdom needs, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not have any excuses. Basically, it will provide whatever the Sak Kingdom needs, and the supply is very active and timely. At the same time, it also provides sufficient and complete technical support. The Kingdom of Croatia was able to quickly complete the reform of the overall model of farmland cultivation, rapidly increasing domestic grain production.

Although the Sac Kingdom, especially the military, has raised many objections to this, saying that this will greatly boost the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is tantamount to indirect support of the enemy, but this point of view is really true under the primary goal of solving the food problem. Looked very weak.

But this time, when the Sac Kingdom proposed to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that it needed to purchase a large number of expenses produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it encountered unexpected obstacles.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not directly reject the Sac Kingdom's request for fertilizers, but told Krabi Morey. Because the fertilizer processing plant was actually jointly run by the elves and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The production and operation of chemical fertilizers are in the hands of the elves. Therefore, if the Sac Kingdom wants to buy fertilizer, it must negotiate with the elves themselves.

And when Krabi Morey approached the person in charge of the Moon Shadow Fertilizer Processing Plant under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Sandy from the Moon Shadow Tribe, the other party proposed a condition that was almost impossible for Morey to agree to.

"Dear Supervisor Sandy, what do you need a piece of territory for?" Morey suppressed the absurdity in his heart, and asked Sandy with a frown: "As far as I know, your Moon Shadow tribe has always lived in Standing Duke. Domestic? Then even if we want to take a piece of territory from our Sark Kingdom, it will be of no use to you."

Sandy's long, pointed ears quivered slightly. He seemed to hesitate for a while, and then showed an unnatural smile, and said: "You don't need to understand what use this is to us, you just need to know that this is our condition. If you agree, then we can Sell ​​cement to you, if you don't agree, then goodbye."

Morey looked at Sandy speechlessly, thinking that the elves are really as unkind as the legends say, and they also don't have any negotiation skills at all, so they just put forward the conditions so stiffly.

paused. Morey asked unwillingly: "Here... Director Sandy, can we change the conditions? Except for the territory. I can agree to any conditions."

"No." Sandy shook her head, her face calm but determined.

Morey could only smile wryly.

Although when negotiating with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, he found that their chairman Xu Yi and CEO Kennard were very cunning and difficult, which made him suffer a lot, but in comparison, he would rather go with Xu Yi and Kennard. Nader and the two struggled for a long time, and they were unwilling to negotiate more with this beautiful female elf.

Because this female elf is not negotiating with you at all!

After a moment of silence, Morey thought that before he left, the Minister of Agriculture had found him personally and told him about the situation for a long time. He took a breath and decided not to give up too early. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Well...Sandy Director, may I know your specific requirements? For example, where do you need the territory? And what do you want to use this territory for? You should understand that if you acquire this territory, it will be harmful to us. If there is a threat to the kingdom, then we will not agree anyway.”

Sandy nodded, took out a document and handed it to Morey.

Morey was slightly taken aback.

Unexpectedly, these elves have already prepared relevant plans, obviously they have already prepared.

What surprised him even more was that the elves would actually prepare documents and plans in advance like humans, which was too much like a human's approach.

As a result, the document was opened and looked carefully. Morey found that the territory requested by the Moon Shadow Tribe was only a piece of land adjacent to the Black Rice Wasteland.

If this territory hadn't been deliberately searched for, I'm afraid Morey, a native of the Sark Kingdom, might not have found it in the first place.

Seeing this, Morey was slightly relieved.

If the Moon Shadow tribe requested an important piece of territory within the Kingdom of Sak, it would be impossible for the Kingdom of Sak to agree to it anyway.

Now all they want is such a remote and completely inconspicuous territory, so there is a little possibility of negotiation.

And because the request of Moon Shadow Insufficiency involved too much, and he, the director of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, couldn't afford it at all, so it didn't have much to do with him.

The only thing he needs to do now is to convey the request of the Moon Shadow Tribe back to His Majesty the King to make a decision.

Thinking of this, Morey smiled at Sandy, nodded slightly and said, "Director Sandy, I hope you can give us some time to think about it."

Sandy also nodded slightly: "No problem."

After a pause, Sandy seemed to remember something again.

"Director Morey, I must remind you that chemical fertilizers also have an expiry date. If you take too long to make a decision, you will most likely miss the most important spring plowing period this year."

Mo Lei's expression was suffocated, and he cursed inwardly, but he could only nod dejectedly.

No way, everything is for food. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
