Chapter 69 Tax relief

In mid-October, the envoy for autumn planting was already said to have arrived, but Viscount Leslie's territory showed no signs of autumn planting. Instead, there were endless roars everywhere.

Looking around, dozens of magic machines of different sizes, of different shapes, were shuttled back and forth in the farmland, replacing the originally deserted land with another appearance.

This is Viscount Leslie's resolution.

After obtaining a large amount of magic machinery from Xu Yi, Viscount Leslie decided to reclaim all the land that can be used for planting in his territory, and carry out large-scale rectification according to Xu Yi's proposal.

Before this, because all the farmlands under Viscount Leslie were planted by hand, the farmland planning was very casual. Now that he decided to fully reclaim it, Xu Yi suggested that he re-plan it, connect all the farmlands into pieces as much as possible, and divide them into completely equal blocks. At the same time, a wider ditches were dug in each farmland to facilitate future use of rice planting and drought resistance.

In addition, Xu Yi also suggested that Viscount Leslie push all the farmland into a large flat land of the same height, which will be extremely convenient for future mechanization operations.

Seriously speaking, Viscount Leslie had not considered rectifying the land under his name before, but before, he had limited manpower. Even if he had this idea, he did not have enough manpower to complete this matter.

With the more than 300 slaves and less than 100 guards under his name, he only reclaimed less than seven hectares of farmland every year.

With the help of various farmland magic machinery developed by Xu Yi this year, this idea can finally become a reality.

First use a small magic loosening machine to crush the higher land surface, and then transport the broken soil to a low-lying place to fill it.

After repeating this several times, the farmland under Viscount Leslie's name has basically become a flat and large piece.

At this time, it was the turn of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to launch the latest small magic excavator successfully developed.

First, use a small magic earth loosening machine to loosen the drawn range of soil, and then use a small magic excavator to dig bit by bit on the farmland according to the mark. After a moment, a large pit with a width and depth of nearly half a meter can be dug out.

As the small magic excavator kept retreating and the front mechanical arm stretched out, the deep pit extended all the way, and soon a long and deep straight ditche was drawn on the farmland.

"It's very good. At this speed, it seems that it only takes one day to transform the entire hectare of farmland." Today, Viscount Leslie and Xu Yi came next to this farmland. Even Sean Samo came to hear the news. Seeing the super high working efficiency of the magic machinery on the farmland, Samo couldn't help but praise. "If this was done with all the people, I'm afraid it might not be completed in a week."

"Master Lord, I'm actually not satisfied with this speed." Xu Yi shook his head and said. "The power of the small magic excavator we designed is actually too low. According to my idea, the real magic excavator does not require the help of a magic earth loosening machine at all. I can dig a ditch in the ground by myself. My ultimate goal is to use the excavator to dig up stones directly, which is far from comparable to the small magic excavator you see now."

"Oh? You can even dig a stone? Are you kidding?" Earl Samo said in surprise.

"No, of course this is not a joke. If it were not for the limitations of mechanical materials, we could have arranged a more powerful magic array on this magic machine as power output. In that case, the efficacy of the magic excavator will be greatly improved, and it is not strange to finally achieve the goal of digging stones." Xu Yi replied affirmatively.

Of course this is not a bragging. After studying with the great magician Camilla for a long time, Xu Yi now knows that the power of advanced magic is extremely powerful, and even the legendary forbidden spells can be completely better than nuclear bombs on the American earth.

If this comparison is made, as long as the power of these magic can be correctly applied to magic machinery, it is not a fantasy to make magic machinery have the ability to completely rival those engineering machinery on the earth.

Unfortunately, due to the rough iron craftsmanship on the Synes continent, these magical machinery cannot withstand too much power, so Xu Yi can only temporarily put these ideas in his stomach.

"It is a good thing for young people to have lofty goals, but bread must be eaten one by one, so it is not enough to be anxious." Earl Samo smiled and patted Xu Yi's shoulder to comfort him. "The magical machinery you designed has already surprised me. In the past, I could not imagine that such a large area of ​​farmland renovation project could be completed in such a short time. No wonder that Leslie told me so confidently last time that I wanted to reclaim all the farmland under his name. If you look at it now, I am afraid there is really hope."

Xu Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. City Lord, Lord Viscount is actually using the farmland under his name to help me do experiments. Although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed so many magical machinery, it will not work if it has not been verified by actual results."

"Well, this is the attitude that a responsible chamber of commerce should have. As for the boy Leslie... I think he is eager to let you do these experiments in his territory. Don't you know how jealous the other nobles in the city are now?" Earl Samo smiled.

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing. He not only knew about this, but also experienced it countless times.

After knowing that Xu Yi would provide many newly developed magic machinery to help Viscount Leslie complete the transformation of farmland under his name, other nobles in Bonta City also made the same request to Xu Yi. However, Xu Yi's current factory production capacity is limited, and it can only meet the needs of Viscount Leslie's family and cannot agree to the requirements of other nobles.

Moreover, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can produce so many farmland magic machinery, Xu Yi dared not agree to any noble at will.

It's okay for Viscount Leslie to say that, after all, Xu Yi started from him whether it was launching a magic air conditioner, a small magic harvester, or a small magic earth-losser. Everyone else knew that Viscount Leslie and Xu Yi had a very different relationship, but as long as Xu Yi dared to agree to another noble, he would definitely offend all the other nobles.

Xu Yike is not stupid, why do you have to do such a thankless thing?

Of course, while Xu Yi declined these nobles, he also issued a letter of guarantee to them that in the spring of next year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will produce enough magic machinery to ensure that all noble families will have the needs.

Although it is still several months before the beginning of spring next year, Xu Yi has now received a high order worth nearly 10,000 gold coins.

This order is all aimed at various farmland magic machinery, which can ensure that the dwarves led by Camby will be busy all winter.

However, this is also something that makes Xu Yi very worried.

The magic machine tool workshop is not just for the production of magic machinery in farmland. In comparison, Xu Yi hopes that they can do their best to study magic machine tools.

Because for industrial development, machine tools are the foundation of the foundation, and it is difficult for any machine to get out of the machine tool.

If the machine tool does not develop sufficiently, the development of the entire industry will be restricted, which is not what Xu Yi hopes to see.

But Xu Yi had no way to reject these orders, so he had been facing a painful choice during this period.

If you want to develop the magic industry, you must make as much money as possible, because studying the magic industry requires a lot of gold coins, and any research requires a lot of material investment and manpower investment.

However, if you want to make more money, you will definitely shift your focus, which will delay research in the magic industry. It is really a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

"After all, there are too few talents." Xu Yi sighed in his heart, turned to Earl Samo and asked, "By the way, Lord City, I wonder if there is any sign of the matter I asked you for help last time?"

Earl Samo was stunned, then woke up and frowned slightly: "You said you were helping you recruit craftsmen? This... is a bit difficult. You have too high requirements for craftsmen. There are not many people who meet the requirements in our Bonta City, and there are also very few people who meet the requirements in other cities. Moreover, these craftsmen who meet your requirements must be rare talents in their cities. They will not easily change places and come to our Bonta City, so... I am also in a difficult situation."

Xu Yi sighed helplessly. In fact, he knew very well that Count Samo was right. If qualified craftsmen were so easy to recruit, he would not have to worry so much.

It seems that it would be better to put your hope on the dwarves.

When he mentioned this matter to Cambi, Cambi said that he could find a way to help him contact dwarves from other tribes, and if possible, he would help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce recruit more dwarves craftsmen.

"But Xu Yi, don't be too disappointed. I can't help recruiting craftsmen for you, but I can help you with other things." Earl Samo suddenly said.

"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at Count Samo in surprise.

Earl Samo pointed to the magic machinery that was working hard on the fields and said, "I have reported these magic machinery invented by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Kingdom Agricultural Bureau, and also wrote a private message to His Majesty the King, mentioning these things. Both the Agricultural Bureau and His Majesty the King appreciated this and finally decided to exempt some of the magic machinery produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from taxation, and at the same time, they will fully promote these magic machinery in the kingdom. If nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty the King may summon you soon, so you better make some mental preparations."

Xu Yi's eyes lit up immediately.

All tax exemptions?

You should know that the commercial tax in the Kingdom of Lampari is very high. For small chambers of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the maximum commercial tax may even exceed 40%!

According to the price of 70 gold coins for a small magic harvester, if the tax is exempted, it means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can earn nearly 20 more gold coins as a result!

This is equivalent to His Majesty the King and the Agricultural Department giving a large sum of money to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for free.

Of course, it should be impossible to exempt taxes from all taxes. This will probably immediately cause dissatisfaction among all other chambers of commerce in the kingdom. His Majesty the King will not be so stupid.

But as long as part of the exemption can be reduced, it will also bring great benefits to Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

More importantly, the latter sentence, His Majesty the King and the Agricultural Department will promote these farmland magic machinery to the kingdom!

This is equivalent to an official advertising!

With the support and promotion of His Majesty the King and the Kingdom Agricultural Agency, it means that the farmland magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be sold to every place in the Kingdom of Lampari.

At that time, just by selling these magic machinery in farmland, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is likely to become a first-class Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari!
