As the carriage continued to move forward, Xu Yi discovered more and more that the natural resources of the Principality of Stantin were too rich.

Not only were various tropical fruit trees scattered on both sides of the road like money, Xu Yi looked along the way and found a large number of coffee and cocoa trees, and even more importantly, there were also rubber trees covering the sky!

Seeing this scene, Xu Yilian was amazed at why these various tropical plants distributed all over the earth grew in the Principality of Stantin without time, and was only concerned about shock and doubt.

With such abundant natural resources, why is the Principal of Stantin so poor?

Before coming to the Principal of Stantine, both in books introducing the geography of the mainland, and in the description of the Principal of Stantine, and even in the introduction of Anklu, the person who is most familiar with the Principal of Stantine, revealed the same information, that is, the Principal of Stantine is a country with extremely weak national strength and very poor.

Before coming to the Principality of Stantin, Xu Yi was mentally prepared to see a country that has been devastated by hurricanes and tsunamis all year round.

But he never expected that the land of the Principality of Stantin was not only not barren at all, but was even far more abundant than he thought.

Such rich natural resources are simply the most precious gift God has given them!

If placed on the earth, such a country may not become rich, but it should not be described as poverty no matter what.

But along the way, Xu Yi also saw through the car window the ordinary people of the Principality of Stantin. Judging from their ragged clothes and the same ragged wooden house they lived in, their lives were indeed very poor.

This made Xu Yi very confused.

Having such natural resources. Even if the transportation level of the Sainz continent is limited, these resources cannot be transported out to make money, these citizens will not be so poor, right?

With such questions, Xu Yi began to shift his attention from the rich plants outside the car window to the people of the Principality of Stantin.

After the carriage finally drove into a place that looked like a town, Xu Yi jumped out of the carriage, glanced at the situation in front of him, and finally realized it.

Although the people of the Principality of Stantin have abundant natural resources, perhaps it is because they have too abundant natural resources that make them so poor.

This reason may sound strange, but it is a very reasonable analysis.

When he was still on Earth, Xu Yi visited many subtropical and tropical countries because of his participation in field work in engineering machinery, such as the Indochina Peninsula and many countries on the Indian Peninsula.

In those countries, he found one thing they have in common, that is, the people there are very lazy.

The same project construction may only take two or three months to complete in the Tian Dynasty, but if it is placed in those countries, putting aside the issues of ** and inefficiency in the government, it is enough to delay the project for half a year or even a year.

Because of this problem, many company engineering leaders have complained to Xu Yi privately.

It is obvious that they only need to learn how to operate those construction machinery. Their job is to easily sit under the force of the construction machinery, but the workers are too lazy to learn the most basic operations.

And if they were asked to do those jobs that required heavy physical strength, they would be even more lazy.

Because the work efficiency of local workers is too low and too much project progress has been delayed, many engineering companies even spend a lot of money to recruit a large number of workers from the Tian Dynasty to carry out engineering construction.

Although the contracts signed with the local government must be guaranteed to recruit a certain proportion of local workers, these engineering companies would rather spend more money to support these local workers in vain, but they do not expect the local workers' work efficiency at all.

Xu Yi thought about the expressions of the heads of those engineering companies when they complained and the local situations seen in those countries. After comparing the situation before, he naturally made this judgment.

The reason why the Principality of Stantin is poor is to put aside other reasons. I am afraid the most important reason is that the people here are too lazy.

Looking at the entrance of this town, although there are quite a few people, whether you are walking on the street, sitting on the corner, or simply lying on the ground to bask in the sun, everyone exudes a lazy atmosphere from their faces to their whole body.

It's like if they haven't encountered anything that collapses, they will definitely not be willing to spend more effort to do anything.

Although there are several small stalls for business scattered on the street, no one has come to visit for a long time, and the owner of the stall doesn't seem to care much about this situation at all. Not to mention shouting hard, they even just sleep with their eyes closed and their heads covered!

Xu Yi thought about it and found that he could actually understand the mentality of these ordinary people.

It may be barely said that all living beings are equal on earth, and ordinary people also have hope of climbing up.

However, the social form on the Continent of Sines is still very backward, and the class concept here is deeply rooted, and ordinary people will never think of resisting the nobles.

So for ordinary people, being able to fill their stomachs and survive is the first goal to pursue.

The Principality of Stantin has extremely rich natural resources. If you are hungry, you can just pick some fruits from the fruit trees next to the road and fill them up.

Since there is no pressure to survive, no motivation and desire to climb up, as an ordinary person, there is only one way to go to eat and die.

Of course, being able to understand does not mean being able to accept it.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Xu Yi's mood was still the same as when he visited the countries in the Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Peninsula. He mourned these ordinary people for their misfortune and was angry at them for not fighting.

Work harder and harder, at least you can make your life better, but why don’t these guys work hard?

When Anklu saw that Xu Yi had got off the carriage, he looked at the town in front of him silently, his face was a little unfavorable. He thought he was not satisfied with the environment here, so he hurriedly said, "President Xu, I'm just taking a night off here for the time being. I have contacted the lord here and asked him to clear out the room in his manor to receive you. The environment of his manor is much better than here, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Yi was too lazy to explain his true thoughts to Ankrull, shook his head and walked into the town.

Seeing Xu Yi's actions, Anklu was stunned and hurriedly followed.

The town has only six streets in total, and they are all very short. The size of the town is probably not as big as that of Bangta City. Xu Yi took less than half an hour to walk from one end to the other.

After looking around in the town, Xu Yi pondered for a moment and asked Ankrug: "What level is this city in your Principality of Stantin?"

Anklu was stunned, then showed an awkward smile, and hesitated and replied: "This is already the largest city in the north of our principality..."

Xu Yi was stunned, raised his eyebrows, looked at the town behind him again, forcibly resisting the distorted face caused by the absurdity that arises in his heart.

Such a place that is worse than any small town on Earth is actually the largest city in the north of the Principality of Stantin?

What a joke!

Seeing Xu Yi's expression that was still strange even though he tried hard to hold it up, Anklu could only continue to explain in embarrassment: "President Xu, our Principality of Stantin actually has no concept of a city. This town is only for people nearby to trade. Today is probably not the day of a market, so it seems that there are very few people. But if it is a market day, it is still quite lively..."

Ankru explained for a while, and he felt that he couldn't continue.

He often goes to the Kingdom of Lampari. Not to mention Anweimar City, just talking about the scale of Bonta City where Xu Yi is located, in his opinion, it has surpassed all cities in the Duke of Stantin.

Explain these in front of Xu Yi, the more you describe them, the darker it becomes.

Looking at Anklu who was silent and full of embarrassment, Xu Yi sighed in his heart, turned around and stopped looking at the pitiful "city", and said to Anklu: "Okay, take me to a place to rest. After taking a carriage for a day, I'm a little tired."

Anklu quickly called the three carriages following behind and asked Xu Yi to get on the carriage and gallop south along the only relatively wide road.

The manor of the city lord mentioned by Anklu was beyond Xu Yi's expectations. It was built very wide, and there were many houses in the manor, which was magnificent at first sight.

Although it is much worse than the noble manor outside Bangta City, it is far better than the exquisiteness of any noble manor outside Bangta City, because it covers a large area, there are mountains and waters in the manor, and the wooden houses are quite unique, so the environment looks really good.

According to Anklu's introduction, the owner of this manor was the lord of the city just now, and the city was named after his family.

His family is called the Weilun family, and that city is called Weilun City.

The current patriarch of the Weilun family, the owner of the manor, is Svein Weilun, a middle-aged fat man with a low figure and a round body.

After meeting Anklu and Xu Yi, Sviin Weilun was extremely enthusiastic, especially when facing Xu Yi, he even showed a flattering expression from time to time.

As the saying goes, when politeness comes from others, you must have something to ask for.

This Svein Weilun showed this expression to Xu Yi, and of course there was something to ask Xu Yi.

However, Xu Yi couldn't imagine that he had something to ask for him.

And this question was quickly answered at the dinner welcoming him. (To be continued...)
