Chapter 39 Farm Machinery

In the middle of the night, the banquet at Viscount Leslie's manor finally ended. The guests had already left, and the manor was quiet again.

In the slightly chaotic hall after the banquet, Viscount Leslie looked at Xu Yi who was talking with Steele, with an expression of admiration that could not be hidden on his face.

As Steele guessed, he held this banquet at Xu Yi's request, and the most important purpose was to promote the magic air conditioner developed by Xu Yixin.

Xu Yi positioned the Magic Air Conditioner as a mid-to-high-end product, naturally targeting those with status and status in Bangta City, and most importantly, those with wealth.

And in this banquet, because of Viscount Leslie's intention, it can be said that all the guests meet such requirements.

What Xu Yi asked of Viscount Leslie was nothing more than that, and he did not ask him to fully participate, so Viscount Leslie did not know what Xu Yi would do, but he knew that Xu Yi would definitely gain something at this banquet. Quite abundant.

Because during the banquet, when many guests came to talk to Viscount Leslie, they would mention the two slightly conspicuous magic air conditioners, intentionally or unintentionally. After learning the price and daily consumption of magic air conditioners, these guests almost without exception revealed their willingness to buy.

Even the Lord of the City, Earl Sean Summer is no exception.

So Viscount Leslie is very sure that this magic air conditioner will soon become popular in the aristocratic circle of Bangta City, and in the eyes of those aristocrats, he is probably the one who caused this trend. Viscount Lee.

"If those guys knew that these things were planned by Xu Yi, what would they think?" Viscount Leslie thought to himself.

At this moment, Xu Yi ended the conversation with Steele and came over.

"Lord Viscount, tonight's banquet was quite successful, I have to thank you." Xu Yi smiled.

"Thanks, I don't need it. No matter what, I'm also a major shareholder of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Viscount Leslie shook his head. "I have a question that I want to ask you. Xu Yi, there are only so many nobles and rich people in Bangta City. You can sell a limited number of magic air conditioners, so the profit may not be as good as magic fans, right?"

"Don't worry about that." Xu Yi chuckled. "Since the magic air conditioner is positioned as a mid-to-high-end product, the sales plan is naturally different from the magic fan. I have signed an agreement with the Fasak Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City, and I will open a store in Saltan City in a while. , which is specially used to sell the products of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and this Xinfei magic air conditioner will also enter the city of Saltan at that time.”

"Saltan City?" Viscount Leslie suddenly thought of something. "By the way, at today's banquet, there seem to be two small nobles who came to visit relatives from Saltan City. Have you been in contact with them as well?"

Xu Yi nodded with a smile: "Lord Viscount's reaction is really quick."

Viscount Leslie's gaze towards Xu Yi instantly became a little dignified.

This guy, if even this has been calculated long ago, it would be too scary.

But on second thought, Viscount Leslie couldn't help but admire his vision.

Fortunately, I had seen Xu Yi's unusualness from several previous incidents, and decided to cooperate with him, otherwise, if I missed the opportunity, I am afraid that I will lose many opportunities.

If nothing else, Viscount Leslie has already made a profit of more than a thousand gold coins in less than a month just because of the big sale of the magic fan.

Even with Viscount Leslie's net worth, this thousand gold coins can no longer be considered a small amount.

Moreover, Viscount Leslie is convinced that with the development and growth of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the income brought by his 30% shares will gradually increase, and in the end, it will inevitably far exceed a thousand gold coins.

"Lord Viscount, in addition to the magic air conditioner, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you." Xu Yi said again.

"Oh? What's the matter? Just say it."

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Viscount, September is about to enter. Is it time for your territory to enter the autumn harvest stage?"

Viscount Leslie was stunned, but he never thought that Xu Yi would suddenly jump to this topic.

"Ah, yes, the autumn harvest is almost here, why are you asking this?"

Xu Yi laughed: "Do you remember the little slave I bought from you last time? The reason why I bought her at that time was because she lost a farming ox, which would seriously affect the autumn harvest, so those guards They nearly beat her to death."

Naturally, Viscount Leslie had already heard the report from Brunei's housekeeper, glanced at Xu Yi, and snorted: "What? Are you trying to seek justice for that little slave now? Let me tell you, if you want to successfully cultivate It is very difficult to produce a qualified farming ox. The value of a farming ox is much higher than that of a slave. She actually lost a farming ox, and it would be cheaper for her to kill her."

Xu Yi sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that even if he and Viscount Leslie were already very familiar with each other, it was still impossible to change Viscount Leslie's indifference towards slaves.

Of course, Viscount Leslie's attitude towards slaves is also the norm on Sainz Continent. Xu Yi has no ability or plan to change this social situation now. He mentioned this matter with other intentions.

"Lord Viscount means that cattle are very rare, and they are very important to farmland, so they are extremely valuable, right?" Xu Yi asked.

"Of course it is. I said Xu Yi, what did you want to say for a long time?" Viscount Leslie became impatient.

Xu Yi chuckled: "Then, Lord Viscount, if I could find a tool to replace the cattle, how much would you be willing to pay for it?"

Viscount Leslie glanced suspiciously at Xu Yi: "Could it be that you have invented a magical machine that can work in the fields? This is probably unrealistic, right? The work in the farmland is so complicated, what kind of machine can be powerful enough to replace the cattle? effect?"

"Just take it as an analogy. Lord Viscount, if this machine can replace the work of oxen, and even the work efficiency is much higher, what price can you accept?"

Viscount Leslie thought for a while, then slapped his hand: "Fifty gold coins each, how many I want."

Xu Yi's eyes lit up: "Lord Viscount, is this true?"

"Nonsense!" Viscount Leslie said angrily, "It's not like you don't know that most of my territory is deserted, that's because there are not enough people to cultivate it, and there is no way to do it. If there is what you said, then A magical machine, then of course I have as many as I want, and it is best to fill all the territories. In addition, I am sure that not only me, Bangta City, even the entire Kingdom of Lampari, and even the entire Sion Almost all the nobles on the mainland need this kind of thing very much. If you can really develop such a magical machine, I can guarantee that it will definitely cause a frenzy."

Having said that, Viscount Leslie couldn't help but ask: "Hey, Xu Yi, you have really developed it, right? This thing is not a joke."

Xu Yi smiled slightly and shook his head: "Of course not yet, it's just an idea at the moment. But now that I have received such an exciting answer from Lord Viscount, I'm even more interested in researching this thing."

Seeing the somewhat mysterious smile on Xu Yi's face, Viscount Leslie's heart was bright.

"This kid, maybe it has really been developed."

In fact, Viscount Leslie had wronged Xu Yi.

Although Xu Yi had already made up his mind to study farm machinery when he saw that Vivian was almost killed for losing a farming ox, before that, not only did he have no time, but also Sufficient funds and manpower to study these things, so this thing has only existed in his conception, and it has not become a reality at all.

Today is different from the past. Although Xu Yi's time is still not enough, he has a lot more people available, the most important of which are the one hundred dwarves from Master Lanu's tribe.

With the support of these dwarves whose forging skills are not weaker than that of Master Lanu, Xu Yi was able to agree to President Fasak and directly provide him with a series of corresponding manufacturing machines for the second-generation magic fan.

However, the workload of this batch of machines is not large. The dwarves have completed all of them in a short time. Now they are still idle most of the time, except for some mechanical knowledge that Xu Yi has given them, so Xu Yi will Think of farm machinery.

In fact, in Xu Yi's view, for a world like Sainz Continent, where technology and production levels are not yet high, farm machinery is the most urgent thing.

As Viscount Leslie said, most of his territory was deserted due to lack of manpower.

And if you extend this to the entire Sainz Continent, you can imagine how much barren land on the entire continent.

However, corresponding to this, the food production of Sainz Continent has always been at a very low level, which directly leads to the very low average living standard of people on the entire continent, even in this small Bangta City, Every year, news of people dying of starvation comes out.

And Xu Yi learned from a chat with Heinze that just eleven years ago, there was a large-scale famine in the Sainz Continent because of the abnormal climate. The turmoil in the mainland caused several small countries to perish overnight.

Xu Yi still remembers Heinze's horrified expression when he talked about this incident.

Xu Yi, who had traveled from the earth where civilization was already highly developed, had never seen such a scene before.

But just from his imagination, he knew how terrifying the scene was.

So he was more determined to study the idea of ​​farm machinery.

"If it can improve the living standards of people on this continent, maybe it can be considered that my crossing into this world has real meaning."

Xu Yi looked at the starry sky at night and meditated in his heart.
