Chapter 555

    Renault broke off a golden ear of wheat, twirled the slightly shriveled grain with his fingers, and shook his head slightly.


    Allietti pulled out a wheat ear in a similar way. After observing for a while, she came to the conclusion:


    "the growth of wheat doesn''t look good."


    As if to stimulate Renault, the little girl sighed and said with regret:


    "the continuous overcast weather recently has a great impact on wheat yield..."


    This sentence is a satire on the air Knight''s bombing, resulting in the reduction of wheat production.


    Renault glanced at the playwright and ignored her.


    A farmer who was harvesting wheat saw a group of nobles standing on the edge of the wheat field from a distance, and quickly called his mother-in-law and two children:


    "Vera, you watch Matthew and mollen, I have to go to the nobles..."


    "Well, be careful." The farmer''s wife said worried.


    The farmer handed his wife a sickle made of obsidian, sorted out his ragged clothes and walked forward barefoot.


    Vera looked at the gorgeous aristocrat in the distance and pulled her linen coat in embarrassment. After years of use, this dress was almost too worn to cover her chest, which made her feel rather embarrassed.


    She looked back at the two bright children and said in a loud voice:


    "Matthew and Moren, come to mom quickly..."


    The two children, who are just over one meter tall, seem to feel their mother''s nervousness. They clean up the wheat at their feet before they run to their mother with a small stone knife to cut the wheat.


    In order to finish harvesting the wheat as soon as possible, even children of this age have to work hard in the field.


    ……


    When the uneasy farmer approached 10 meters away, he saw two nobles holding ears of wheat in their hands. A twinkle of heartache flashed in his eyes. However, he did not dare to say anything. He just knelt down on the soft soil.


    "Good day, gentlemen." The farmer said respectfully, not daring to look up at Renault and others.


    Renault winked at Abby.


    Abby immediately took out his purse, took out a silver nale, and bounced at the farmer.


    "Ding!"


    Silver glittering silver nale kept rolling in the air, crossed an arc, and landed in front of the farmer accurately.


    The farmer was stunned.


    Renault said with a smile:


    "it''s compensation for the ears of wheat."


    The farmer''s black and thin face was mixed with surprise and fear, and he was at a loss and said:


    "master, you use No need to pay Besides That''s too much... "


    Abby dogleg said:


    "take it, there is a fair man under the flame crown of the exterminator."


    "What? Are you the one under the flame crown of the exterminator The farmer couldn''t help but raise his head and look at Renault in shock.


    During this period of time, the farmer did not know how many stories related to the flame crown of the God of extermination, such as "the empty Knight ruling the sky" and "the sacred fire burning all things", which were comparable to myths and legends, had already outlined a god like image in his mind.


    He never thought that under such a noble crown, he would suddenly appear in front of himself in this way.


    This It''s so special. It''s scary.


    The farmer realized that the act of "looking directly at the gods" was very offensive. He was so scared that he fell down on the ground and did not dare to move.


    "I can''t imagine that even a farmer knows my reputation." Renault laughed at himself. "Hey, don''t be nervous. Stand up and talk."


    The farmer was afraid to get up and stammered:


    "you I I''ll be fine... "


    It takes courage to stand up and speak in front of a "God", which is beyond the ability of a farmer.


    Renault no longer reluctantly asked:


    "what''s your name?"


    "Under the great crown, my name is Billy." The farmer trembled with honor when he saw a noble man asking his name.


    "Well, Billy." Renault asked again, "what''s the wheat yield this year compared with previous years?"


    "It''s very bad. I''m afraid the output will be reduced by 20-30 percent." The excitement in Billy''s voice disappeared and replaced by a deep worry.


    In previous years, despite their hard work all year round, their annual harvest was only enough to make ends meet except for the land rent stipulated by the Lord. Moreover, there was an important premise that no family was seriously ill, otherwise they would be bankrupt.


    However, this year, due to the reason of a certain crown, it seems inevitable that the whole family will fall into famine. Maybe some people will be starved to death.


    Renault was silent for a moment and said slowly:


    "Billy, I have an idea. If you don''t want to go hungry, take your family and go to Chaka town. There are many jobs that can support your family.""Chaka town..."


    Billy repeated the word and firmly remembered it. He said gratefully:


    "crown, thank you very much for your advice. After the wheat harvest, I will find a chance to go..."


    Allietti suddenly interjected:


    "Billy, 80 kilometers west of Chaka Town, there is a new city about to be built. It''s called" thunder Eagle City ". You can also go to thunder Eagle City to find a job. I''m sure you can make the whole family eat."


    Renault was stunned and turned to look at aliette:


    "thunder Eagle City? Is this name in memory of your grandfather, Duke of the eagle? "


    "Yes, under the crown." Allietti replied.


    "You have chosen a good time, princess." Renault laughed.


    "Of course." Aliette said confidently, "the cement plant is going to be put into production on a large scale. I can buy enough cement. There are countless people who need to work here. I can hire enough people, so now is the most suitable time to build Lei Ying City."


    There was a glimmer of hope in her voice.


    "Ray hawk will be the strongest City, and it will become a new starting point for the Castro family."


    Renault gazed at this beautiful face and added a word in his heart.


    "But you chose the wrong place."


    Princess, you are so naive.


    Do you think that if we build leiying city around Chaka Town, we can make use of the resources of Chaka town to develop it?


    No!


    You are so wrong!


    Now Chaka town has become a black hole of resources. It will continuously absorb nutrients, money, manpower, material resources and so on from the nearby area, and will be irresistibly concentrated in Chaka town.


    This is the Matthew effect. Under its influence, the stronger the strong, the weaker the weak.


    This means that leiying City, only 80 kilometers away from Chaka Town, is doomed to be a victim.


    Renault put forward a suggestion with a smile:


    "princess, how about we jointly invest to build a road connecting Chaka town and leiying town?"


    Aliette laughed in surprise and said incoherently:


    "under the crown, this is exactly what I want Oh, how kind of you... "


    She seems to be afraid of Renault''s backwardness and hastily adds:


    "I am willing to bear 60% of this road No, 70 percent. "


    "Then, princess, it''s settled." Renault nodded with satisfaction. "I''ll ask Goodall to sign a formal agreement with you."


    Looking at the excited aliette, Renault''s eyes flashed a trace of pity.


    Ah, poor sister, do you really think this road is the power of the development of leiying city?


    No!


    You''re wrong again.


    It''s a blood sucking tube inserted into the body of Lei Ying City!


    After the completion of this road, the resources of leiying city will flow to Chaka town at a faster speed.


    ……


    On earth, there are countless cases to prove this.


    The most typical example is Japan''s Shinkansen.


    One of the purposes for the Japanese to build this high-speed railway is to promote the economic development of other regions, that is, to attract the flow of people, logistics and capital from Tokyo to other cities.


    The government''s intention was good, but the result was extremely unexpected.


    After the Shinkansen was opened to traffic, Tokyo had a strong "siphon effect" on other cities due to its convenient transportation.


    Taking Osaka as an example, the time from Tokyo to Osaka has been shortened from 7 hours to less than 2 hours. Since then, the siphon effect has gradually affected Osaka.


    Since the early 1970s, the population of Osaka metropolitan area has been decreasing year by year and moving to Tokyo metropolitan area.


    Not only Osaka, but also the whole of Japan has been affected. The population of Tokyo''s surrounding cities continues to flow into it, resulting in a sharp rise in the population of Tokyo metropolitan area.


    In terms of industry, as a manufacturing heavy industrial city, Osaka''s manufacturing industry had almost no new industries in the whole 15 years from 1985 to 2000, and its strength was weak.


    In other words, the proportion and influence of Osaka as a representative of the big city group in the national economy are weakening.


    Another similar example is Huaxia''s g-t.


    (I dare not say more, but I think readers are so smart that they can understand it)


    In foreign lands, there are not many metal farming tools. All kinds of stone and wooden farming tools are popular, and the Obsidian knives used by farmer Billy are typical. In foreign lands, there are all naked farmers and peasant women. In order to save clothes, it is common to work naked.


    The extremely low productivity makes the return on investment ratio of agriculture extremely low. The experience of the Billy family is just the epitome of all the farmers in the alien world.


    However, in the coastal area, agriculture is a completely different scene.Standing by the endless wheat field, Angela''s mood became excellent.


    In the sea of wheat, six giant metal monsters are devouring the golden wheat. Wherever these monsters go, their 8-meter-wide "giant mouth" will devour the wheat.


    The troll''s "butt" is sharp and long, and there is a big black hole at the end. The crushed wheat stalks rush out of the hole, leaving a trail of wheat stalks where they drive.


    If this scene is seen by any alien farmer, they will run away in terror and yell:


    "father is up, metal Troll ate wheat..."


    may also make complaints about it:


    , "God, what kind of monster is this? It''s so careless of them to eat and pull at the same time... "


    but if woodlouse sees the following scene again, they must be incredible to shout the following sentence:


    , "why, how did they vomit wheat?"


    This "Troll" is the "large magic combine" developed by Rune Research Institute.


    On the top of the metal Troll''s head, there is a long metal pipe with a diameter of nearly 1 meter. Yellow grains of wheat constantly emerge from the pipe and fall down like spring water onto the other troll.


    This "Troll" is the "large magic combine" developed by Rune Research Institute.


    The "Troll" who accepted wheat grain was a "magic tractor" dragging a "trailer". As like as two peas harvesters on the earth, the principle and function of


    harvesters are to harvest and thresh crops once and then concentrate the grain to a special storage bin, and finally deliver it to the transport vehicle through the conveyor belt.


    The difference is just the power system.


    Harvesters on the earth use diesel engines, and exotic harvesters use large magic engines.


    In addition, the alien version of the harvester also has a huge advantage, that is, for different rotating mechanism, it can use a separate power.


    For example, "threshing drum" and "cutter" are driven by two magic motors respectively. This unique design saves the complex transmission system, greatly reduces the number of parts and simplifies the manufacturing process.


    "Hi, Lena." Miss consul looked at her former follower and said in a funny tone, "Oh, I think I should say that our Secretary for agriculture, Miss Lena, ha ha ha..."


    "Miss, please don''t do that Please... "


    Liana''s face blushed when she was teased. After she was angry for a while, she began to laugh.


    The last Secretary for agriculture, unable to control her greedy appetite, embezzled more than 30 jinnals'' public funds, and the whole family went to the labor camp together. Liana, who had followed Renault across the mainland, was promoted to the new Secretary for agriculture by Angela.


    "Well, well, I won''t laugh." The consul lady restrained her smile and pointed to the giant moving in the wheat field, "Lena, how long will it take these big guys to harvest all the 1200 hectares of wheat in the French farm?"


    Liana immediately reported the data:


    "Miss, the Department of agriculture has purchased a total of six harvesters, which can harvest 2 hectares of wheat per hour and are expected to complete the harvest in five days."


    "Very good." Angela nodded happily and said with admiration, "they are so fast I don''t think 100 of the strongest farmers can match a harvester... "


    Liana chuckled:


    "Miss, you overestimate the farmer and underestimate the harvester."


    "Even if a farmer works hard, he can only work up to 12 hours a day to harvest an acre of wheat."


    "Harvesters are magic machines. They can work without sleep for 18 hours a day. If they are equipped with magic stone lamps, it is not a problem to work for 24 hours.


    "In terms of 18 hours per day, a harvester can harvest at least 36 hectares of wheat per day, which is equivalent to 550 mu of wheat, which is equivalent to 550 farmers..."


    After a pause, she said with a little pride:


    "4000 farmers work five days in a row to harvest all the wheat in this farm. We only need 24 drivers to operate the harvester and tractor!"


    Angela tilted her eyes and looked at the new Miss director:


    "well, listen to your voice, I thought it was our Miss Lena who invented the harvester and tractor."


    Liana quickly waved her hand and said with a smile:


    "well, I''m not, I''m not How can I be as powerful as the Lord. "


    "The wisdom of all the people in the world is not equal to that of your Lord..."


    This metaphor is very exaggerated, but Angela nodded her head.


    As Renault''s closest person, she watched him turn this island from a destitute predicament into a paradise on earth in less than two years.This great creation of harvester is just one of Renault''s numerous inventions.


    Can human beings all over the world do this?


    No!


    So, in Angela''s eyes, he is her God.
