Chapter 437 Chapter 437: Herbicides
Hearing someone hoarding excrement and driving up the price, if it was in the past, it would probably make people laugh, but now the people in the entire conference room can't help showing solemn expressions.
Everyone who has already realized the importance of feces can't calm down anymore, after all, the price of obtaining feces in the past was almost cheap.
"You don't need to worry too much about this. The main material of chemical fertilizer is manure. It needs to be fermented and added a lot of other materials to make fertilizer. If you just pour a lot of manure on the field, it will not only fail to increase the fertility of the land, but also It may pollute the field." Aslan said confidently.
This is not a joke. This is also the reason why the city was full of feces in the Middle Ages in Europe. It was because they didn't know how to use feces to make fertilizer, and they didn't have a systematic treatment method, so they could only pile up in the end.
"Not to mention, the herbicide you made Aslan is amazing, and it doesn't hurt the crops, it's so convenient." Genarido said with a smile.
When the others heard about the herbicide, they also nodded in praise.
Aslan smiled slightly and said, "This is my next grain monopoly plan."
Hearing that the herbicide was related to the food monopoly plan, many people were stunned. Even the Duke of Medea was stunned. Now that she has settled in Merlot City, the three magic puppets have also been transferred.
Now the magic tower in Billy City is temporarily handed over to Mario for management. Because of this, Dior, the head of the magic army, successfully broke through and became a magister.
"There is an alchemy drug added to the herbicide. As long as it is planted with the new generation of seeds transformed by my subordinates, the yield will not be affected. However, if the seeds of other crops are used for planting, the yield will drop by at least 10 to 20 percent." Aslan is not concerned. Said not slowly.
The mouths of the others slowly grew into an O shape, and they seemed to have guessed Aslan's next move.
"No wonder you sell the herbicide so cheap." Ma Sulfur murmured subconsciously.
"Are you planning to sell your newly transformed crop seeds?" Vatini said in surprise.
This strategic material should not be hidden, and once it is sold, once the farmers save the seeds, what else can they threaten the farmers?
Aslan nodded, and of course told his backhand.
"Today's seeds are also transformed by magic. As long as they are planted to the third generation, they will degenerate, and the yield will drop significantly."
The corner of Natal's mouth twitched, and finally said: "Xiao Jiu, isn't your idea too vicious? The people have worked hard for a year, only to find that the seed production has declined. I don't know how many people will be killed by then."
The others also nodded subconsciously. They thought that Aslan was planning to monopolize the price of seeds, and felt that Aslan's move was too vicious.
Aslan shook his head with a wry smile.
"Where did you think, how wicked am I, and it is impossible to suck blood from the peasants at the bottom. My seeds will be as cheap as normal seeds, and I will even explain the reasons for the seeds to them."
"Then how are you going to play?" Olga asked expectantly.
"It's very simple. We can sign an agreement with these lords and landlords and farmers to exchange seeds for the right of first refusal to buy grain. We must sell the grain we produce to my Grain Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, we will not be able to purchase the high yield of our Chamber of Commerce for the next planting." In addition to the fact that the original seeds were affected by herbicides, I believe that no one will give up this high-yielding crop. In addition, the grain chamber of commerce guarantees that the purchase price will not be lower than the market price. For them, no matter who sells the grain. It’s for sale, as long as it can make money.”
Aslan said with a smile.
For just a moment, the entire conference room was silent, everyone was stunned.
In the end, it was Duke Medea who spoke.
"Xiao Jiu! What is your brain made of?"
The others nodded in agreement and looked at Aslan.
Aslan's move is Chiguoguo's overt conspiracy. As long as the purchase price is well grasped, Aslan will almost monopolize the grain in areas that use the seeds of the Merlot Grain Chamber of Commerce.
As for whether it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the people in the territory, it is impossible. As long as Aslan does not exploit the people in terms of food prices, it is impossible to cause dissatisfaction. The grain yield is high, and there are cheap seeds and herbicides. These are good policies that benefit the country and the people.
Once this scale is extended to the entire continent, the Merlot Grain Chamber of Commerce in the future will definitely become a giant affecting the continent's grain.
During this period of time, the influence of the Maxim Federation on commodities, coupled with Aslan's explanation, made them understand the horror that the Maxim Federation has laid out over the years.
This is also how long the Maxim Federation has been able to occupy the throne of the mainland business empire for so many years.
"Xiao Jiu! Will your herbicide be harmful to ordinary people?" Duke Medea asked.
Aslan instantly understood Duke Medea's worry, shook his head and said, "Please rest assured, teacher, the herbicide is made by the Druids of the elves, and it is completely harmless to ordinary people."
"That's good! Let's talk about this year's taxation and the situation of the United Army!" Duke Medea lazily leaned on the boss chair, which Aslan made specially for Duke Medea.
If the Duke of Medea did not have the strength of a great magister, she would be similar to a rotten woman in the 21st century. Except for the house, her whole body would be like a mollusk, and she would never sit if she could lie down.
So the boss chair, a comfortable office chair, was instantly loved by the Duke of Medea, and it was much more comfortable than the previous hard throne.
"Today, the total population of Melox Province has reached 35,678,653." Vatini reported a number accurate to single digits.
This is unique in other regions, not even in Kyoto.
"Because the unified head tax is 120 copper coins, a total of 428,143 gold coins have been collected, and the grain tax has reached 17.5 million tons."
When Vatini reported these two numbers, her hands couldn't help shaking again.
This is still a grain tax, and it does not include the grain produced by the state-owned farms. The grain output in the first half of this year has reached a terrifying 80 million tons.
Most of the credit for this is due to the newly transformed crops of the elf druids, which opened up a lot of wasteland. If it were placed in the harvest year five years ago, there would be one-third of this number, no, one-quarter would be the sky.
If Aslan hadn't built the granary under the dam, the grain would not have been put there.
Such a bumper harvest was naturally targeted by the surrounding forces. Unfortunately, the Merlot Grain Chamber of Commerce established by Aslan protected the price of grain well, allowing the people of Melox Province to have a truly bumper harvest.
