Hearing that someone was hoarding excrement and driving up prices would have made people laugh out loud in the past, but now everyone in the conference room couldn't help but show solemn expressions.
People who have already understood the importance of feces are now unable to calm down. After all, the price of obtaining feces in the past was almost negligible.
"You don't need to worry too much about this. The main material of chemical fertilizer is indeed excrement. Fertilization and the addition of many other materials are required to make fertilizer. If you just pour a large amount of excrement on the field, not only will it not be able to increase the fertility of the land, but it will also
It may contaminate the fields." Aslan said confidently.
This is not a joke. This is also the reason why cities in Europe were full of feces in the Middle Ages. It was because they did not know how to use feces to make fertilizer and did not have a systematic treatment method. In the end, they could only pile up into mountains.
"Not to mention, the herbicide you asked Aslan to produce is amazing, and it doesn't harm the crops. It's so convenient." Genarido said with a smile.
When others heard about the herbicide, they also nodded in praise.
Aslan smiled slightly and said: "This is my next plan to monopolize food."
Many people were stunned when they heard that herbicides were related to the food monopoly plan. Even Duke Medea was confused. She has now confirmed that she has settled in Merlo City, and the three magic puppets have also been transferred.
Now the magic tower in Billy City is temporarily under the management of Ma Su. Because of this, Dio, the leader of the magic army, successfully broke through and became a magician.
"There is an alchemical drug added to the herbicide. As long as it is planted with the new generation of seeds modified by my subordinates, the yield will not be affected. However, if other crop seeds are used for planting, the yield will be reduced by at least 10 to 20%." Aslan is not worried.
Bu Xiu said.
The mouths of the others slowly grew into an O-shape, as if they had guessed Aslan's next move.
"No wonder you sell herbicides so cheaply." Masuo muttered subconsciously.
"Do you plan to sell your newly transformed crop seeds?" Watini said in surprise.
This strategic material should not be hidden, and once it is sold, once the farmers save the seeds, what else can they do to threaten the farmers?
Aslan nodded, and of course told his back plan.
"Today's seeds have also been transformed by magic. As soon as they are planted in the third generation, they will degenerate and the yield will drop significantly."
Natal's mouth twitched, and she finally said: "Xiaojiu, isn't your idea too vicious? People have worked hard for a year, only to find that seed production has dropped. I don't know how many people will be killed by then."
Others nodded subconsciously. They thought Aslan planned to monopolize the price of seeds, and thought Aslan's move was too vicious.
Aslan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Where are you thinking? No matter how immoral I am, I cannot suck the blood of the farmers at the bottom. My seeds will be as cheap as normal seeds, and I will even explain to them the reason for the seeds."
"Then what are you going to do?" Olga asked expectantly.
"It's very simple. The seeds are exchanged for the right of first refusal on grain. We can sign an agreement with these lords, landlords and farmers. How much of the grain produced must be sold to my grain chamber of commerce. Otherwise, we will not be able to purchase the high yields of our chamber of commerce next time we sow.
In addition, the original seeds were affected by herbicides and their yields were affected. I believe no one will give up this high-yielding crop. In addition, the grain merchants will guarantee that the purchase price will not be lower than the market price. For them, no matter who sells the grain,
It’s just selling, as long as you can make money, that’s fine.”
Aslan said with a smile.
Just for a moment, the entire conference room was silent, and everyone was stunned.
Finally it was Duke Medea who spoke.
"Xiaojiu! What is your brain made of?"
Others nodded in agreement and looked at Aslan.
Aslan's move is a conspiracy of Chi Guoguo. As long as the purchase price is properly controlled, Aslan will almost monopolize the grain in areas that use the seeds of the Merlot Grain Chamber of Commerce.
As for whether it will cause dissatisfaction among the people in the territory, that is impossible. As long as Aslan does not exploit the people on the price of food, it is impossible to cause dissatisfaction. The food yield is high, and there are cheap seeds and herbicides. Regardless of which
All items are good policies that benefit the country and the people.
Once this scale is spread to the entire continent, the Merlo Grain Chamber of Commerce will definitely become a giant that affects the continent's grain in the future.
During this period, Maxim Federation's influence on bulk commodities, coupled with Aslan's explanation, made them understand the horror that Maxim Federation has laid out over the years.
This is why the Maxim Federation has been able to occupy the throne of the mainland's business empire for so many years and so long.
"Xiaojiu! Is your herbicide harmful to ordinary people?" Duke Medea asked.
Aslan instantly understood Duke Medea's concerns, shook his head and said, "Teacher, please rest assured, the herbicide was prepared by elves' druids and is completely harmless to ordinary people."
"That's good! Let's talk about the situation of taxes and the unified army this year!" Duke Medea leaned lazily on the boss's chair, which Aslan made specially for Duke Medea.
If Duke Medea didn't have the strength of a great magician, she would be similar to a rotten girl in the 21st century. Outside of the house, her whole body would be like a mollusk. She would never sit down if she could lie down.
Therefore, a comfortable office chair like the boss chair was instantly favored by Duke Medea. It was much more comfortable than the previous hard throne.
"Today, the total population of Merlocks Province has reached 35,678,653." Vatini reported a number accurate to single digits.
This is unique in other regions, not even Kyoto can do it.
"Because the unified head tax was 120 copper coins, a total of 428,143 gold coins were collected, and the grain tax revenue reached 17.5 million tons."
When Watini reported these two numbers, her hands couldn't help but tremble.
This is still a grain tax, and does not include the grain produced by state-owned farms. The grain output in the first half of this year has reached a terrifying 80 million tons.
Most of the credit for this can be attributed to the newly renovated farms created by the Elf Druids, which opened up a large number of crops. If it were placed in the harvest year five years ago, one-third, no, one-fourth of this number would be as high as the sky.
If Aslan hadn't built the granary under the dam, I wouldn't have known where the food would have been placed.
Such a bumper harvest is naturally targeted by surrounding forces. Unfortunately, the Merlo Grain Chamber of Commerce established by Aslan has protected the price of grain, allowing the people of Merlocks Province to truly have a bumper harvest.
