Volume 3 Chapter 39 - Sea port (1/2)

These words naturally couldn’t be said to head Wein because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce hired these farmers because of the agreement signed with head Wein. It can be considered helping head Wein solve the daily living necessities for five thousand people in his territory.

Moreover, according to Xu Yi’s investigations and Cantona’s understanding of the situation, although these five thousand people worked here and took the wages offered by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they were considered citizens of head Wein’s territory, so most of their wages were handed over to head Wein.

So head Wein could teach this lazy worker as he wished, but Cantona had to keep him even if he was dissatisfied with this lazy fellow.

After all, to head Wein, killing a person had no influence. At worst he could just change the person.

But for Cantona, even if that person was lazy, he was already used to using the agricultural magic machine after half a month, so he could be considered a skilled worker.

Even if he was dissatisfied with the work of the local farmers, he at least had some use. If they changed that person, he had to teach them from the beginning.

Looking at head Wein’s fat face, Cantona felt emotional.

A noble that was this repulsive and cruel could receive large amounts of benefits from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce each year because he controlled this land.

Other than the rent and the crop yield each year, the five thousand workers had a monthly salary of five gold coins. He took away at least twenty thousand of the twenty five thousand gold coins a month, which was over two hundred thousand gold coins a year.

Roughly calculating it, just by renting out this hundred thousand hectares of land, head Wein was gaining at least six hundred thousand gold coins a year.

Thinking of this large number, Cantona couldn’t stop the pain in his heart.

If this money didn’t need to be given to this fellow head Wein and used in other places, how many things could be done……

But Cantona was clear that this was the fee that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was spending to open the door to the Stantine Duchy.

But only someone as bold as Xu Yi would be able to have this kind of determination, right?

At least Cantona wouldn’t dare.

“Chairman Cantona, I still have a question.” Head Wein’s voice pulled Cantona’s wandering mind back.

“Un? What question does head Wein have? Please ask.” Cantona quickly replied with a smile.

Head Wein pointed at the agricultural magic machines moving through the land and asked, “Those agricultural magic machines should be produced by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, right? I wonder…..Is chairman Xu willing to sell those things to me?”

Cantona laughed, “Of course. Head Wein, do you think that chairman Xu had me bring all these agricultural magic machines just to open this piece of land? Let me tell you, chairman Xu had privately told me that I had to seize the chance to promote these agricultural magic machines. It would be best if all the nobles were to use them. Do you think he is willing to sell?”

Head Wein immediately revealed a smile, “That’s good. Alright, chairman Cantona, can you help me tell chairman Xu that I want to buy a thousand various agricultural magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce? I hope that he can help me solve this as soon as possible.”

Cantona shook his head with a faint smile, “There’s no need, chairman Xu will be here in a few days. Wouldn’t it be better for you to tell him yourself when the time comes?”

“Oh? Chairman Xu is really coming?” Head Wein immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised look, “Great! After chairman Xu comes, I will definitely take good care of him!”

Seeing the fat scrunch up on head Wein’s face when he smiled, Cantona couldn’t help shaking his head. He thought that it was no wonder head Wein was happy to hear that Xu Yi was coming.

If someone knew that a person who could bring them six hundred thousand gold coins a year was coming, they would definitely be as happy as head Wein.

After discussing the land with Cantona for a while, head Wein was satisfied as he led his subordinates and maids away. Cantona thought for a bit before heading towards the sea.

This land was close to the sea and that place was gradually changing. Other than a ten meter tall sea gate that was a kilometer away from the cliff, there was also a road that connected this large piece of land to a port being built by the sea.

This coast was a small bay, blocking off monsoons and large waves, so it formed a natural harbour.

Xu Yi had Cantona lead people to open up this land, while also having the Amrit Chamber of Commerce send a construction team here to build a harbour.

After half a month, the harbour had taken initial shape, with a pier that had a steel frame that led into the ocean.
