Laughter naturally can't travel thousands of kilometers to Bangta City.

However, I don't know if it was because I heard that His Royal Highness Servini and Viscount Leslie were discussing themselves. Even if he was hiding in the warm conference hall of the city's main house, he suddenly sneezed involuntarily.

This sudden sneeze interrupted the ongoing reading by the Earl of Satsuma, and attracted the attention of other people in the conference hall who were listening.

Count Satsuma put down his report and smiled and looked at Xu Yidao: "How? Xu, the president, are you dissatisfied with the report in my hand?"

Xu also shook his head quickly: "No, I don't have any opinions. Just... just suddenly it feels a bit cold."

“Cold?” Count Satsuma glanced at the two magic air conditioners on the wall of the conference hall and smiled again: “This is the new flying magic air conditioner produced by your Chamber of Commerce. If you still feel cold under their influence, I am You should come and ask if the president of this new Feishang Association is derelict."

"Ha ha -"

Of course, everyone knows that the Count of Satsuma is arguing with Xu, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Xu Yiwei smiled: "That is impossible. The quality of the new flying magic air conditioner is trustworthy. There will be no problem. It may be because yesterday's big night accompanied Stil to the Sandy River and wandered around. The cold wind has caught."

There was another sneer in the hall.

Sitting in the distance from Xu Yi, the president of Lanko issued a long sigh: "Mr. Xu is young and strong, and dared to go to the river on such a cold night. The old man like me, but the sky is black. I am not willing to go out at home."

Everyone suddenly reconciled. As soon as you say a word, I laughed and made a come.

As the new flying business will grow stronger and stronger. Now Xu’s status in Bangta City has also risen. It has gradually become able to compete with the old presidents of the Chamber of Commerce in the city.

Although everyone will often laugh at him because of his age, no one has expressed any disdain to him.

Even President Morgan, who had been the most hostile to Xu, and the agreement between Xu Yi and Marquis Joseph, the new Feifei Chamber of Commerce and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce began to cooperate, so that he would no longer reveal to Xu. Any hostility, on the contrary, will be very close to Xu in both front and private.

After a lot of laughter with everyone, the original serious atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became easier.

When everyone’s voice stopped, Xu also turned to Count Satsuma: “The Lord of the City. I have no opinion on this report, but I have a proposal.”

"Oh? Come and listen."

Not only the Count of Satsuma, but even other people immediately stopped laughing and laughing, while looking at Xu Yi, showing the expression of concern.

I have been living with Xu for a long time. Everyone knows very well that every time Xu makes a statement on such an occasion, it will never be targeted, and it will usually have a big or small impact.

And if it is his proposal, the city owner will not be dismissed almost once, it will play a small role.

"The city owner. The report you just read said that the plan of Bangta City this year is to further carry out wasteland reclamation. Expanding the farmland area and increasing food production, of course I have no opinion. But I think, you neglected a very Important issues."

"What problem?" Earl Satsuma asked curiously.

"That is the manpower." Xu Yidao. “I feel that if there are no measures, there will be fewer and fewer farmers engaged in agriculture in Bangta City, and eventually even no one will go to farmland again.”

The Earl of Satsuma frowned. "How is this possible? Now there are more than 100,000 peasants in the countryside outside Bangta City. How can anyone go to farm? If you can’t just plant it, now you have a new flight. With the help of various farmland magic machinery, farming is much easier and more efficient than before. Even if people are less than before, there will be no problem. I just made this plan because of this. Say that your Chamber of Commerce does not intend to continue to produce farmland magic machinery in the future?"

"Of course it is impossible." Xu also shook his head immediately. "But the Earl, you may not have noticed the fact. Although there are more than 100,000 registered farmers outside Bangta City, have you specifically counted that the actual population still living in agriculture in rural areas has how much?"

The Earl of Satsuma suddenly stunned: "Do you want to say that these peasants are no longer farming? What do they do?"

Xu Yiwei smiled and pointed to himself, and then pointed to the representatives of other chambers of commerce in Bangta City sitting in the conference hall: "It is very simple, these farmers have entered the factory to work."

The Earl of Satsuma stunned and his eyes glanced at the representatives of Xu and other major chambers of commerce, revealing a trace of gloom.

"You want to say that those farmers who are working in the factories of your major chambers of commerce are not willing to farm?"

"Of course." Xu also nodded. “Now the average monthly salary of factories opened by major chambers of commerce in Bangta City has exceeded seven gold coins. Even the probationary workers who have just entered the factory can often get a monthly salary of more than four gold coins a month. Compared with the previous farming In the case of a few gold coins in the income area, it is clear that the income of workers entering the factory is much higher. If I am a farmer, I will not be willing to continue farming and will choose to enter the factory."

"Well... this is indeed a problem, I ignored it." Earl Satsuma thought about it and asked: "Mr. Xu, what is the total number of workers in your Chamber of Commerce?"

"If you don't calculate the elves and the dwarves, just the day before yesterday, it just broke through the four thousand mark." Xu also replied with four fingers. “When the new canned fruit factory is completed, we will recruit another 500 workers. In addition, according to the expectation of General Manager Kennard, it is necessary to recruit at least 1,000 workers this year.”

"That is, is it true that your new Flying Chamber of Commerce will take away more than 5,000 people?"

"Yes."

The Earl of Satsuma asked the presidents of other major chambers of commerce and the answers were similar.

With the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce constantly developing various magical machines, the production mode of other major chambers of commerce in Bangta City has been continuously changing to the industrialization mode.

Production scale is getting bigger and bigger. More and more workers are needed.

It is now a Chamber of Commerce of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce. It employs more than 20,000 workers.

In addition to more than 6,000 workers still carrying out the traditional construction of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce. The remaining 13,000 workers are distributed in the Kingdom of Lampari and in the Kingdom of Rulson and in various parts of Constantine, and are working hard to build one road after another.

In comparison, the workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are already considered to be few.

Adding up the employees of the five recognized Chambers of Commerce, the five new Chambers of Commerce, the Amish Chamber of Commerce, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, the Armani Chamber of Commerce, the Salak Chamber of Commerce, and the Falcon Chamber of Commerce, has already surpassed the 70,000 people who are horrified.

And then add up the employees of other chambers of the city, now the workers in Bangta City are working more than 100,000 workers in the factory.

This has not counted people in other industries.

If they are all counted, people in other industries outside of agriculture will even approach 200,000.

After receiving this estimate, the Count of Satsuma could not help but blame.

Since people in other industries are close to 200,000. Then, let go of the old and weak women and women who are unable to work, then of course there will be no one left to engage in agricultural farming.

In fact, the original total population inside and outside Bangta City did not add up to 200,000. If there were not a large number of foreigners rushing into Bangta City, the employment of these chambers would not reach such a terrible number.

What's more, even if this is the case, the major chambers of commerce, headed by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, will often complain to his city owner about the shortage of staff. I hope he can find ways to get more labor from other places.

Thinking of this, Count Satsuma couldn't help but look down at the report in his hand and turned to the part of the report that had not been read at the end.

The theme of today's conference is a summary data report on the work in Bangta City last year, and the final part of this report is a tax statistic in Bangta City last year.

The reason for today’s meeting is to invite representatives of major chambers of commerce to participate. It is because of this taxation statistics that the major chambers of commerce have performed very well.

But once again, I saw various detailed figures on tax statistics. The Earl of Satsuma still has a sense of unreality.

According to the final statistics of the Bangta City Taxation Department, in the past year, the total tax revenue of Bangta City actually reached a horror of 1.37 million gold coins!

You know, according to figures released by the Royal Revenue Department, the annual income of the Lanpari Kingdom last year was less than 2 million gold coins.

In accordance with the local tax payment of one-third of the provisions, Bangta City paid 450,000 gold coins, accounting for nearly a quarter of the Kingdom's annual tax revenue!

Just a terrible result.

Because in the year before, the tax paid by Bangta City was only less than 50,000 gold coins in the district. In the 26 cities of the whole kingdom, it was basically the last existence.

But now only two years later, the tax paid by Bangta City even surpassed the capital of Anweimar City, becoming the city with the most taxes in the entire kingdom!

If you turn your attention back to the 1.37 million gold coins that Bonta City received, you will find that in this case, agricultural taxation has been greatly improved by the help of farmland magic machinery, from the previous Less than 30,000 gold coins have risen to nearly 100,000 gold coins, but compared with the horror figures of commercial taxes totaling more than one million gold coins, they are not worth mentioning.

In other words, the agricultural tax that was most important for Bangta City is now negligible, because the most important industry has become commercial.

If it is further divided, then it will be found that in the commercial taxation, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will provide a huge number of more than 500,000 gold coins. If you want to associate various magical industry-related chambers related to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. When the taxes are added together, this number will exceed 700,000 gold coins, which is more than two-thirds of the total.

In other words, if you really want to calculate it, the most important industry for the entire Bangta City tax is the magic industry industry represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, the attention of the Earl of Satsuma has also increased the importance of involuntarily and deepened a point. He looked up and looked at Xu Yi. He smiled and said: "It seems that the problem mentioned by President Xu does exist and is very important. So President, what is your proposal?"

Xu also nodded and replied: "My proposal is to promote the development of agricultural industrialization." (To be continued.)
