Volume 2 Chapter 16 - Your highness queen (1/2)
The two harvest seasons each year were the most important days in the Lampuri Kingdom and Banta City.
This year’s spring harvest was more important than other years. When Viscount Leslie conducted the harvest on his territory, not only did it attract all the nobles with territory to watch, even the Lord City Lord personally came to watch. He even gave a speech on the spot, praising Viscount Leslie for the ample harvest on his territory.
Other than this, what surprised people was that the crowd was made up of normal farmers from the various rural areas outside Banta City.
Among them were farmers who had received invitations before, so although they were a bit nervous coming this time, they weren’t as cautious as before seeing all these nobles.
As for the ones who were coming for the first time, their eyes were gathered on the farms with looks of praise.
For these farmers who had been working on farms for their entire lives, they have never seen such a uniform farm that looked like it came out of a painting.
And these farms were filled with long golden wheat, which created a beautiful image when it entered their eyes.
The reason why so many people were gathered here today was traced to last year’s fall harvest.
Under Xu Yi’s suggestion last year, Viscount Leslie used the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s agricultural magic machines to greatly change all the farms in his territory. He also opened up the lands that he hadn’t opened before because of a lack of manpower.
After the farm harvest, large amounts of agricultural magic machines had been operating non stop on his territory. It finished a project that seemed quite large to people in a very short period of time.
And now it was time to harvest the results of the project.
This farm modification plan was a pilot project for Banta City and for the king. As the Banta City’s City Lord, Coun Sean Samo had to be there.
Other than this, Seveni as the agricultural department’s representative was naturally also there.
The results of this farm modification plan would directly decide the agricultural department’s future plans.
And seeing the facts in front of her, the results were without a doubt very good.
Looking at it, the area in front was a very smooth and perfectly divided farmland covered in a sea of yellow, filling one’s eyes with golden wheat.
Even if it was someone without experience in farming, they could still easily tell that Viscount Leslie had a rich harvest this year.
When Count Sean finished his speech and Viscount Leslie finished the sacrifice ceremony as the owner of the land, dozens of small Magic Harvesters went in a straight line, choosing a piece of farmland to drive over.
In less than half an hour, each small Magic Harvester had finished harvesting a mu of land.
Looking at the small stalks left from the large fields of golden wheat and the sacks filled with grains on the side, the people watching couldn’t help giving sighs of praise.
It should be said that it was some people’s first time seeing the small Magic Harvester’s at work, but seeing such a harvest, everyone couldn’t help praising it.
“Chairman Xu, it seems like this year’s harvest is much faster.” A noble pointed at the Magic Harvesters preparing to move onto the next field as he spoke to Xu Yi.
“Un, our company has made some improvements to this batch of Magic Harvesters. They turn much faster and make more resolutions, so their harvest efficiency had been increased.” Xu Yi replied with a faint smile, “How about it, Viscount Samuel? You didn’t buy anything last year, are you interested this year?”
Viscount Samuel laughed, “Alright, I’ll definitely buy some this year! Not only this Magic Harvest, I also want to buy the Magic Excavator and the Magic Plowing Machines. In short I want to modify my farms just like Viscount Leslie’s. Seeing Viscount Leslie’s rich harvest this year, I’m indeed a bit jealous.”
“Be assured Viscount Samuel, it isn’t too late to start now. As long as you change it after the spring harvest, with our company’s magic machines, it can be done in less than half a month, so there will be plenty of time to plant the seeds. When the autumn harvest comes, your land will have a similar scene.”
“Alright, let’s set it as this. Chairman Xu, since you’ve already agreed to me, don’t tell me you don’t have the goods when time comes.” Viscount Samuel reminded him.
“Be assured, our company has increased our efficiency, so we definitely won’t be lacking in goods.”
Xu Yi wanted to keep talking to Viscount Samuel and set the deal when he saw Seveni in the distance waving to him. After excusing himself from Viscount Samuel, he walked over.
