Volume 1 Chapter 59 (1/2)

Freeing up production forces

“Fifty gold coins! That much!” Freeman stood up and his limbs started trembling out of excitement.

Although he already guessed that the prizes would be quite good, he never thought that it would be a high prize of receiving fifty gold coins at once!

For a poor family like his, if they had fifty gold coins, this meant that he could immediately escape his poor living conditions.

Not only could he fix several places in his roof that were leaking, he could even change the entire set of furniture in his house. Other than that, he could buy two new dresses for his wife and even buy several toys for his children that they had long fantasized about…...

Xu Yi saw Freeman’s fluctuating expression and didn’t say anything to cut him off.

Based on what Alex told him and the clothes Freeman was wearing, he could guess that this man’s family background was a difficult one.

Fifty gold coins was naturally nothing for the current Xu Yi, but it was a very important thing for Freeman.

When Xu Yi had just transmigrated to the Sines Continent, because he wasn’t familiar with the people and the land, he had almost starved to death.

If someone were to suddenly give him fifty gold coins back then, his excitement wouldn’t have been less than that of Freeman’s.

After a while, Freeman slowly regained his cool. He looked at Xu Yi and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty as he slowly asked, “Chair…..Sir chairman, is this true? You wouldn’t be lying to me, right? Can I really receive a prize of fifty gold coins?”

Xu Yi gave a very certain nod, “Of course it’s true. I think that since you are someone from Banta City, you should be familiar with our Frestech Chamber of Commerce. You think that I would throw away the prestige of our company for fifty gold coins?”

“No, no, no, of course not, of course not!” Freeman quickly waved his hand, “Sir chairman, don’t misunderstand. It’s just that for a while…..For a while, I didn’t dare believe it, it isn’t that I’m doubting you.”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “I understand. Then Freeman, have you decided to pick this prize?”

“I’ve decided……” Freeman had just finished half his words when he suddenly stopped, “Wait…..Wait a minute. Sir chairman, you said that there were two prizes that I could choose from, can I ask what the other prize is?”

Seeing Freeman’s eyes light up, Xu Yi couldn’t help revealing a smile. He thought that although this Freeman looked like an honest person, he wasn’t dumb.

“Of course you can, but I don’t think the second prize will excite you as much. This is because the second price is not as real as gold coins, rather it is giving you a chance.”

“Chance?” Freeman scratched his head and looked at Xu Yi with a confused gaze, “Sir chairman, this…..What does this mean?”

“Freeman, I’ve heard that you came from Ireland Village to sell your wheat. You should have seen the wheat fields around Banta City, right?” Xu Yi asked back.

“Wheat fields?” Freeman tilted his head to think before nodding, “Un, I saw quite a few on the way here. Speaking of this, sir chairman, it seems like the harvest near Banta City happened quite early. In the fields I saw, the wheat stalks had already been burnt for a long time.”

Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile, “It’s good that you could notice this point. But if I told you that Banta City’s harvest had already harvested ten days ago, what would you think?”

“How is that possible!” After Freeman was in a daze for a bit, he forcefully shook his head, “It had just ripened ten days ago, how could it have been harvested in just a day or two? Sir chairman, a great person like you might not understand some things in farming. You don’t know that the harvest is very troublesome, even I had to spend a whole week to finish the couple of mus of land that I have.”

Xu Yi reached out his right finger and shook it, “No, I understand very well. Moreover, when the wheat fields outside Banta City were harvested, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce had participated.”

Freeman looked at Xu Yi with a strange gaze, “Sir chairman, I remember that your Frestech Chamber of Commerce sells Magic Fans, so how could it help with the harvest?”

“This is because we don’t just sell Magic Fans, we also sell small Magic Harvesters.” Xu Yi laughed as he took a picture from Alex’s hands and opened it in front of Freeman, “It’s this.”

Freeman looked over.

What was drawn was a small harvester moving through the fields, but it was different from the scene Freeman was used to of several men in the field with blades. What was drawn was a large man pushing something strange through the fields.

This strange thing had a large opening that swallowed the grains and then there was a small mouth at the end that kept spitting out wheat grains.
