Chapter 1301 1302: Grain Red Line

"Ah, they are all a group of people who are as interested in new things as I am, but not everyone has the same courage to invest as I do. You know, many nobles started investing in factories and running businesses after losing their land. However, these two things are not guaranteed to make money, and many down-and-out nobles, after losing their land, invest in factories that are not well managed, such as your mother's family, Keluoxiwa, and father's family, Anstaff."

When Linda heard this, her complexion suddenly turned ugly.

These two families are the parents of Linda's identity, but Linda's father and mother eloped together, so naturally they could not get the blessings of the two families, and even in order to avoid the harassment of the two families, the parents stayed away from the north Mainland as a spy.

Linda is not a person of this status, but a headache for the entanglement of these two families.

As Viscount Peart said, these two families are on the verge of bankruptcy, and now they have moved out of the imperial capital to live in the suburbs. As the name Linda Closiva Anstaff gradually became a popular term in the imperial capital, These two families actually sent people to look for her with shame.

I hope to enshrine Linda as the ancestor of the two families and seek her protection. Linda is almost pissed off. I have never seen such a shameless person.

"Leave them alone."

Viscount Peart nodded sensibly, and continued the topic just now: "There are still two or three people among them, who should have both vision and courage, and they will join the group."

"That's good!" Linda nodded: "The more people involved, the faster our scale will expand, and the more obvious the publicity effect will be. Wenk Loom has been registered with the Imperial Industry Association, and when you arrive Not only can you open a factory, but you can also sell the authorization of looms outside.”

"To be honest, I can't wait." Viscount Peart put the fruit aside: "However, I am a little worried. Although the Wenk loom is very useful, it needs enough yarn supply to exert its maximum value. Can Winchester researchers really design a new type of spinning machine before the loom is put into production?"

"He will succeed. Please rest assured. After all, the structure of the spinning machine is much simpler than that of the loom. Those who can be valued by me must have both strength and talent."

Linda smiled, but her face was covered by a layer of black mist, Viscount Peart could only hear a laugh.

"Besides, I'm very interested in your Peart machinery and equipment factory. I wonder if you can let me be a technical shareholder."

"Technology shares!" Viscount Peart suddenly became interested.

"Of course you are welcome. I don't know how many shares you want, Magister Linda. What do you want?"

Linda said: "Ten percent is good, but I have one condition, the equipment produced by the factory should be given priority to my company."

"That's no problem at all!" Viscount Peart agreed confidently.

Peart promised so decisively that he didn't realize how rashly he promised until later.

With the expansion of Linda's industry, his Peart machinery and equipment factory almost only serves her company, even if it expands several times in the future.

Viscount Peart suddenly thought of a question.

"Magic Linda, do you have any insights on magic fertilizer or natural magic?"

asked Viscount Peart.

"Know a thing or two!"

Linda thought for a while and replied.

She really only knows a little bit about natural magic, and if she doesn't understand, she can ask the elves.

"Magistrate Linda, if the spinning and looms are running at the same time, will we need a lot of cotton?"

"I've really thought about this, but I just came back, and I don't know much about many things about the empire." Hearing Viscount Peart's words, Linda became slightly serious.

Viscount Peart nodded to express his understanding, and explained: "People near the imperial capital mostly grow grains and beans, and the main planting area of ​​cotton is a little further north, and even in the north, their cotton production should not keep up with the consumption of machines. , the efficiency of the machine is astonishing.”

"Why don't we try to persuade the farmers who grow grains and beans to also grow a little cotton? Anyway, cotton can have a good crop in the central region."

Linda recalled Aslan's teachings in her mind, and slowly guided, Aslan's other plan began to emerge in her mind, to fully industrialize and completely abandon agriculture, so that the Zanscart Empire would gradually transform from a self-sufficient agricultural empire to a completely self-sufficient agricultural empire. It has become a major food-importing country. As it becomes more and more dependent on imported food, if one day the farmers of the Zanskart Empire do not grow food crops at all, they will switch to cash crops in an all-round way.

Once the food import is stuck, it will definitely cause huge turmoil, and then slowly increase the price of food, which will definitely collapse the economy of the Zanskart Empire.

In the eyes of Viscount Peart, Linda's proposal was full of sincerity and friendliness, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right! Farmers will benefit enormously. The price of cotton bought by the factory is much higher than their income from selling grain..."

"However, I am worried that most farmers are unwilling?" Viscount Peart hesitated: "The farmers are very stubborn, and now there are imperial laws to protect them, and I can't forcefully change the things in their fields..."

"Magister Linda, I don't know how the Melox Empire will deal with this kind of problem."

Linda immediately rolled her eyes after hearing this. Fortunately, she was under the magic robe, and Viscount Peart couldn't see the expression on her face at all.

This kind of thing is impossible to happen in the Melox Empire. The reason is very simple. The Melox Empire has established a food red line very early. With the increase of population, this red line is still increasing. Anyone who dares to touch the food red line People, even members of the royal family must be dealt with according to the law.

"Viscount Peart, you need to work hard in the parliament to attract more people to the textile factory. As long as everyone becomes our investor, the congressmen will naturally realize the importance of cotton... ..."

Looking at Magister Linda who had a unique vision and outstanding wisdom, Viscount Peart finally couldn't help showing admiration: "Magiister Linda, let me be frank, you really should have returned to the imperial capital earlier, Your insight and vision are so outstanding, if you had returned to the imperial capital two years earlier, you would have already become a man of the hour here."

"No, Viscount Peart, this is the age of young people!" Linda said unhurriedly, "You are about to become a man of the age."

Viscount Peart laughed loudly. He stood up, took down the wine glass and red wine from the wine rack not far away, poured a glass for himself and Linda, and then handed a glass to Linda in front of him: "Let Let us celebrate this, Your Majesty the Magister."
