Chapter 11 Population
When the Lampari Kingdom Council announced the abolition of this law, it caused a sensation and heated discussions in the Lampari Kingdom and neighboring countries.
The law itself is very simple. It prohibits anyone from slaughtering cattle in any name, and offenders will be punished severely.
The abolition of this law means that the cattle will no longer be protected by the law. Anyone who wants to eat them can kill the cattle and eat them if they have the conditions.
For the people on the Sainz Continent, whose productivity was low before, and the arable land was almost completely dependent on the cattle, the cattle were almost the most sacred thing in their minds.
It is simply unimaginable to slaughter or even eat farm cattle.
There may be some nobles who slaughter secretly in order to satisfy their gluttony, but no one dares to do so publicly, because it will inevitably be condemned by everyone.
But now the Lampari Kingdom suddenly abolished this law of protecting cattle, which of course was beyond everyone's expectations.
Many people worry that once this law is abolished, many farm cattle will inevitably be slaughtered in the Lampari Kingdom, and they will not be spared.
Facts have also proved people's worries.
Since the news of the abolition of this law came out, various newspapers in the Lampari Kingdom have continuously reported the news of the slaughter of farm cattle in various places. The illusion that all cattle will disappear.
Many people expressed great concern about this.
Without cattle, what will happen to the farmland in the future?
But after two months, when the autumn harvest came, these people immediately realized that their worries were unnecessary.
Because before and after the whole autumn harvest. Not to mention that there are no places where cattle are used. But also very few.
the reason is simple. The work of farming cattle in the past has all been replaced by various farmland magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And in terms of effect and efficiency, using farmland magic machinery is countless times stronger than using cattle.
At this time, people suddenly realized.
Now that there are better farmland magic machines, what do we need to farm cattle?
Although some people still expressed puzzlement over the abolition of this law by the Kingdom Council, no one raised any objections to it.
After all, who would miss the opportunity to eat something as good as beef?
If someone knew that it was precisely because of this reason that Xu Yi was behind the scenes vigorously pushing the Lampari Kingdom to abolish this law on the protection of farming cattle, and immediately got a cow to feast on. I don't know how they will feel...
Of course, this is only an insignificant part of all Xu Yi's actions. The real big action is still placed in the Principality of Standing, where he has the most control.
The core of the Agricultural Industry Upgrade Plan of the Principality of Constantine, which was discussed with Viscount Constantine, is to improve the structure of the agricultural industry in the Principality of Constantine, diversify agricultural production, and no longer be limited to the production of major grains such as rice and wheat. crops.
Or to put it more bluntly, it is to allow people in the Principality of Standing to eat meat freely.
To this end, Xu also plans to promote the establishment of several new types of animal husbandry farms in the Principality of Standing.
In order to ensure the smooth maintenance of these livestock farms, in addition to ensuring the processing and production of various feeds. At the same time, the follow-up processing, storage and transportation of livestock are required...
These things are placed on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which requires the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop a series of supporting magic processing equipment.
Seeing the two specific requirements of the magic lawn mower specifically proposed in this plan and the corresponding hope to cooperate with the elf tribe in planting fodder. Xu Yi nodded in agreement.
"It's not a big problem with the elves. I can discuss it with Elder Lisanya. But I hope that the subsequent specific arrangements will be handed over to the council. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not intervene." Xu Yidao.
"clear."
"As for the magic lawn mower and other supporting magic processing equipment, it will take a certain amount of time to research and develop, and it will be replaced by manual labor in the early stage. But fortunately, we only need to open an experimental farm in the early stage, and the manpower should still be sufficient."
Speaking of this, Xu Yi paused, thought for a while, and asked again: "Speaking of manpower...have the birth population in the Principality been counted last year?"
Viscount Constantine shook his head with a wry smile: "It's difficult to get an accurate data on this, because not everyone is used to giving birth when they are sent to the hospital."
"Add this to the newly promulgated law, and it must be enforced." Xu Yi said seriously. "Remember, human resources are the most important thing in the next few decades, and you must fully grasp all relevant information."
"Understood." Viscount Constantine nodded, then said with a smile: "But even if there is no accurate data, but only based on rough statistics, it can be clearly found that the number of births in the Principality has increased significantly last year, even surpassing the Thirty thousand. This is the most exaggerated birth rate in the history of the Principality!"
"Thirty thousand?"
Seeing the excited expression on Viscount Constantine's face, Xu Yi wanted to curl his lips to express his disdain, but considering that the total population of the Principality of Constantine is less than one million, if 30,000 people are born a year, the birth rate will exceed 30 per thousand , is already very exaggerated on the Sainz continent.
You must know that in this world where productivity is mostly low and most countries on the entire continent are often plagued by famine, it is considered quite good if the population can barely maintain a stable level, and how can a high birth rate be guaranteed.
Xu Yi knew very well that the problem of population could not be solved in a short while, so he just asked and put it aside.
Regarding the animal husbandry farm and the supporting meat processing plant in the later stage, because it is still in the planning and experimental stage for the time being, there are not many places to discuss at present.
After Xu Yi carefully read the plan, he found that Viscount Constantine had basically considered all possible problems, so he smiled and nodded at him very satisfied.
"Very good, Constantine, it seems that you were chosen to be the speaker, and you were really the right one."
Viscount Constantine bowed to Xu Yi: "It's my honor. Of course, if it wasn't for the amazing changes brought to the Principality by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce led by President Xu, no matter how hard I try, it would be meaningless. "
Xu Yi waved his hand, stopped the mutual flattery between the two, thought for a while, suddenly turned serious, and snorted coldly: "Konstantin, warn those guys for me and tell them to be honest. It is very important that the Principality will enter soon. During the transition period, I don't want to see people making trouble. If they dare to be dishonest, I don't mind sending out the chamber of commerce guards to help them again."
Viscount Constantine had a serious look on his face, and quickly nodded in response.
"Okay, that's all for today, you go back and do your own things first."
"yes."
Seeing the back of Viscount Constantine disappearing outside the door, Xu Yi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
From the current point of view, this Viscount Constantine is very obedient, almost doing what he asks him to do.
But Xu Yi wasn't sure that he wouldn't be affected by power and change like Angkelu.
So in fact, under Xu Yi's deliberate action, the current Parliament of the Principality of Standing is just an empty shelf with only nominal powers. In fact, the implementation of various specific measures is implemented through the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, through this year's observation, Viscount Constantine has shown that he is extremely capable in internal affairs, so Xu Yi began to seriously consider whether he should be given some power and train him to be his good helper.
The only concern is that he will become another Ankelu.
"Hey, Xu Yi, what are you thinking? It's not good to frown so tightly."
The space around her suddenly twisted slightly, and Yanis' figure appeared out of thin air.
Xu Yi's frown instantly relaxed, and he smiled at Yanis.
"Yanis, what do you always use space magic for in your own home? Just walk over here."
"I'm used to it." Yanis giggled and sat down next to Xu Yi. "Xu Yi, are you free these days?"
"Huh? What? What's the matter?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.
"This..." Suddenly, a blush flashed across Yanis' face. "I went back to the clan last week, and the elders talked to me, saying that I haven't conceived a child yet, maybe there is something wrong. She hopes that I can go to the clan with you, and use our The arcane method of the elves to try to solve these problems."
Looking at the shy Yanis on her face, she thought to herself that after a long time of marriage, Yanis is really a girl who is getting closer and closer to humans.
But Xu Yi was very helpless about the invitation of Elder Elusia.
Whether it's Elder Elsia or Elder Lisanya, they all attach great importance to the combination between themselves and Yanis, and they have to care about the situation between the two of them every now and then.
The two elders were very anxious about Yanis not being pregnant for so long.
However, Xu Yi now has several children, which proves that he has absolutely no problems in this area, so they can only suspect that it is the cause of Yanis.
But this cannot be proved, so the two elders can only be anxious.
In order to solve this problem, the two elders have tried many methods, but nothing has worked so far.
This time, I don't know what method Elder Elusia thought of, and I want Xu Yi to try it.
"Do you have to go to the clan?" Xu Yi asked after thinking about it. "I'm very busy in the next period of time. I'm afraid I don't have that much free time to make a special trip to the tribe. Can I invite Elder Elusia to come over here? It just so happens that I have something to discuss with her."
"I'm not sure about this, so I'll ask the elder again?" Yanis shook her head.
"Okay. I'll invite Elder Lisanya later. The agricultural industry upgrade plan this time requires the participation of the elves."
"Hmm!" Agnes responded loudly. "The elders will be very happy if they know. It just so happens that the clan..."
Yanis suddenly stopped speaking.
Xu Yi looked around in astonishment, and saw Yanis frowning tightly, with a painful expression on her face. (To be continued..)
