Chapter 57 Fertilizers

More than a month has passed since the New Year of 3782 in the mainland. People on the Siones mainland have already escaped from the New Year carnival and returned to their normal life on weekdays.

But for the people of Bonta City, at the beginning of this year, Bonta City seems to have begun to undergo some changes again.

After Count Stark became the city lord last year, he vigorously promoted the policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, and targeted the New Air Chamber of Commerce everywhere, which almost reduced all commercial activities in Bonta to zero.

However, at the beginning of this year, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce held a press conference in Bonta City, announcing that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will still vigorously develop various new magic machinery this year and continue to work hard to improve the lives of people in Bonta City.

Originally, everyone thought that the New Air Chamber of Commerce was so high-profile in Bonta City, and Earl Stark would definitely have some actions and reactions, but beyond everyone's expectations, not only did not suppress the New Air Chamber of Commerce again as everyone imagined, but instead publicly stated in the Bonta Daily that the agricultural development of Bonta City cannot be separated from the help of the farmland magic machinery produced by the New Air Chamber of Commerce. I hope the New Air Chamber of Commerce will increase its efforts to develop new farmland magic machinery to promote the further development of Bonta City's agriculture.

As soon as the Bonta Daily came out, it was sold out immediately. Everyone was extremely shocked by this situation.

Because judging from last year's situation, Count Stark clearly had a mortal feud with Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there was no room for ease of relief.

But now Earl Stark's statement means that the two of them have made up their past grudges and will they start to cooperate?

The subsequent incidents seemed to further prove everyone's speculation.

The day after the statements of Earl of Stark and the Bonta Daily were published, Smith Porter Chamber of Commerce, announced in the Bonta Daily that the canal project connecting the Sandy River to the Rum River was launched again. The Porter Chamber of Commerce will recruit a large number of suitable workers from the whole city of Bonta to dig and open the canal.

This canal project was previously held by Xu Yi when Count Sammo was still serving as the city lord, and was jointly organized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Amley Chamber of Commerce.

Later, after Count Stark became the city lord, he put it on hold indefinitely on the grounds that the canal project had not been thoroughly investigated and wasted manpower taxes in Bonta City.

Now that the Porter Chamber of Commerce has announced the restart of the canal project, neither Stark nor the Lord's Mansion has expressed any objection to this, it means that the attitude of Stark seems to have been loosened.

Not long after that, the Bangta Daily published another even more amazing information, that is, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will open an agricultural fertilizer plant in the former Sangqidun Industrial Zone.

The New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will run back to the Sanqidun Industrial Zone to open a factory, which is enough to shock everyone, because in everyone's opinion, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce was suppressed by Count Stark last year and should never return to Bonta City in the future. However, now the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce not only reopened the factory, but also announced to everyone through the Bonta Daily that this agricultural fertilizer factory was actually established by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce under the special instruction of the City Lord's Mansion!

Everyone was a little confused about what was going on. Did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce do this mean that it had surrendered to the City Lord's Mansion?

But the facts are not like this. Because according to the report of Bangta Daily, this agricultural fertilizer plant does not seem to be related to the city lord's office. It was completely built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So does this mean... what deal has Xu Yi and Earl Stark secretly reached?

This is a bit incredible...

While speculating about the secret transaction between Xu Yi and Earl Stark, everyone also expressed their interest in this so-called "fertilizer".

According to the introduction of "fertilizer" in the Bangta Daily, what kind of "fertilizer" is used to improve the land environment and increase grain output.

This made everyone feel a little unbelievable. Didn’t it be determined how much grain is produced on a piece of land long ago? Why would the yield be increased after sprinkling this fertilizer? This is too nonsense.

However, out of the usual trust in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, everyone kept waiting and watching for the time being.

However, a few days later, an order from the City Lord's Mansion once again made the entire Bangta City boil.

"What kind of fertilizer do we actually force us to buy this? What do we, the new city lord, think?" Sarkic glanced at Cantona, who was sitting opposite and smiling, as if confident, and asked, "Hey, Cantona, what's going on with this? Could it be that President Xu turned around and defected to the Stark family as others said?"

Cantona originally wanted to keep an on-the-sight and observe everyone's reactions, but now when he heard about Sakchi's question, he couldn't calm down.

"What nonsense? Daddy Sarkic, I always thought you would understand better than those guys, so how could you believe such nonsense?" Cantona curled his lips dissatisfied. "Although President Xu reached an agreement with Earl of Stark, what does this have to do with his joining the Stark family? According to what I said, it was obvious that President Xu brought us, the Lord of the City, to his side."

Dad Sarkic shook his head: "I don't bother with their big shots. Just tell me why the City Lord's Mansion forced every farmer in our Bangta City to buy fertilizers, right? Now many people doubt that the City Lord used some means to force President Xu to start this fertilizer factory, so that he could earn money from us farmers."

"Come on, how much money can ordinary farmers have? How can President Xu and Earl Stark think of it?" Cantona said with a giggle and cry: "Okay, let me tell you honestly, this fertilizer is really a good thing. You can sprinkle it according to the farming instructions issued by the City Lord's Mansion. I can guarantee that it will be much better than before when harvesting."

"Is it so effective?" Sarkic looked at Cantona suspiciously with several villagers' representatives around him who were summoned by Cantona.

"Of course!" Cantona nodded affirmatively. "You should know that I just returned from the Principality of Stantin, right? Tell you that before I came back, Xinfei Farm had just harvested the first season of rice..."

"Ah? It's still winter, how can I harvest rice?" a farmer asked in surprise.

"I'm stupid, I told you that it was the Principality of Stantin, and the climate is different from that here. Am I right, Cantona?" said another farmer.

"Well, the Principality of Stantin is mild all year round. Even at the coldest time, it is similar to the spring here, so I can plant three seasons of rice a year and grow very quickly. Before I came back, I just harvested a season of rice that I just planted in winter. Guess how much was harvested in total?"

Seeing Cantona's pretentious expression on his face, everyone knew that this number would definitely be much higher than normal.

Sarkic pondered for a moment and said, "According to the standards of Kalma City, a hectare of rice is only about two tons. Judging from your appearance, it must be much higher than this one. Then I will count as three tons per hectare. Is that true?"

"No, it's higher than this." Cantona smiled and shook her head. "Tell you, in the more than 20,000 hectares of fields that have been reclaimed this year, a total of more than 70,000 tons of rice have been harvested, an average of nearly four tons per hectare!"

"No way!"

"How is that possible!"

"joke!"

...

All the farmers, including Sarkic, stood up in shock.

For those of them, old farmers who have been working in farmland for many years, it is very clear how much grain can be produced in the fields.

It is already a very bold guess that Sakchi guessed that two tons could be produced in a mu of fields, because even in Kalma City, where rice is more developed, only about two tons of rice can be harvested in a hectare of rice fields.

And to achieve this data, it will be a year of bumper harvest, which is simply difficult to achieve under normal circumstances.

"Why am I joking with you? Tell you that this is the power of fertilizers. In the more than 20,000 hectares of land that have been cultivated, we have all used the latest fertilizers developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the effect is very good. If you don't believe it, ask the people who have passed by here in Bangta City."

"They are all in the Principality of Stantin now, can we still run so far to ask?" Sarkic snorted and asked again, "Okay, Cantona, I believe you, and I believe more in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and President Xu. Since this fertilizer is so useful, we will mobilize the farmers in Bonta City to use it as they please. But Cantona, can you tell me why this fertilizer is so easy to use?"

"Yes, let us know what's going on, it's easy to say when we go and talk to others."

"That's right, if this fertilizer is really so useful, why didn't the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce take it out earlier?"

...

"Hey, do you still want to blame President Xu?" Cantona glared at everyone. "Tell you that this fertilizer is a secret recipe that President Xu finally got from the elves. You should not have any doubts about the elves' abilities in plant growth, right?"

"Elf clan?" Everyone looked at each other, and at the same time showed a sudden expression.

This kind of thing will make them doubt it by explaining it to other things, but no one will doubt it anymore if it is a secret recipe obtained from the elves.

After all, the elves have a history of tens of thousands of years and are many years older than humans. Everyone knows that the elves are extremely good at symbiosis with plants, and even plant a forest out of thin air on the wasteland where nothing is available. It is not too rare to create something that promotes rice growth.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Cantona shook her head and sighed in her heart.

In his opinion, Xu Yi was sure to pay a huge price to obtain such an important secret recipe from the elves.

As far as he knows, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually couldn't make much money in this fertilizer factory. The entire factory was mainly controlled by the elves. Xu Yi spent so much effort to solve this cost problem, just for the sake of the farmers in Bangta City.

However, even so, he still has unreasonable suspicion from these ordinary farmers in Bonta City, which is really worth it. (To be continued...)
