Chapter 636 Breaking the Contract
Chapter 636 Breaking the Contract
Although Lan Zhuochi has never said anything, he has actually been very busy during this period.
As a diplomatic family of the Federation, the Lan family did have a number of contracted growers under their jurisdiction. However, the Federation had laws that prohibited contracts with contracted growers from having rigid service term requirements, which meant that the stay or departure of the growers depended entirely on their interests.
The planters themselves have many options to consider. After leaving the Lan family, they can consider joining the Roy family, or they can go to many small families that offer extremely high prices, or they can even completely ignore staying in the Federation and move directly to the Empire.
Planter immigration is the simplest among all interstellar immigrations, with almost zero restrictions.
So now Lan Zhuochi is facing this cruel side.
Lan Zhuochi looked with some difficulty at the growers who came over to terminate their contracts. He came here because he heard someone say that all the growers had stopped working and demanded to terminate their contracts. But he did not expect that many of them had been working for more than ten or twenty years and would also be demanding to terminate their contracts.
Lan Zhuochi suppressed his discomfort and said, "Although there are conflicts between the Lan family and the Federation, the most basic agreement is that the war between the two countries will not infringe on the planting planet. You don't have to worry about your personal safety. Moreover, the fee is still the same as before and has not been reduced. It was even increased last month. Why do you want to terminate the contract?"
An older woman who looked like the leader said, "We can't gamble our lives and the lives of our families on an uncertain future. It's true that the Free Country now has a Saint-level planter and a potion for violent disease, but this potion is not that attractive to us planters. As long as we eat plants for a long time, we won't get sick. And there are third countries that can provide us with planting safely, so there's no need for us to take the risk."
The grower standing at the back nodded repeatedly.
"Moreover, the Empire provides special land and household registration, as well as monetary subsidies. Although the plants will mature more slowly in the first two years, at least people will be extremely safe."
"My daughter is also a planter. She doesn't have to worry about the future. Safety is the most important thing now."
"Besides, we cannot spend our own time gambling on your nation-building. We may all die before your war is over. It is better for the Empire to be at peace with the world."
"As long as we are growers, we can make money anywhere and live a comfortable life."
……
A group of people were talking to each other, becoming more and more confident, and they couldn't wait to leave.
The country founded by the Lan family currently has only the potions made from vegetables produced by Saint-level growers, but they are growers themselves and do not really need this. Moreover, the output is not high. As long as they can make money, there will definitely be medicines that flow out for auction, and they can also participate in the auction in the empire.
Why should we continue to gamble on that uncertainty and follow the Lan family?
Indeed, the Lan family has always treated them well and allocated all resources to them, but has the Lan family also made enough money from them? Both parties are beneficiaries, so there is nothing to be ashamed of in canceling the contract.
Lan Zhuochi took a deep breath and looked at them. Seeing that they all looked very determined, he roughly counted their number and found that they were almost half of the growers under the name of the Lan family. They were so determined that someone must have deliberately instigated them.
Lan Zhuochi wanted to say something, but Lan Yi came over from behind, glanced at them one by one, and said calmly, "Have you all decided?"
Seeing Lan Yi's attitude, these people were unsure of her intention for a moment, but someone still said boldly, "It's decided."
Lan Yi nodded, looked at the adjutant behind him, and whispered to the officer to print out the documents. After that, she turned around and looked at everyone, "Wait a moment, I'll print out the termination contract over here, and you can just sign and stamp it later."
Lan Zhuochi looked up at his mother in disbelief, "Mom!"
The departure of half of the growers was definitely a devastating blow to the Lan family. In the process of making the nutrient solution, at least 5% of pure natural plants must be added, plus various artificial nutrients. But now it is obvious that if there are not enough plants, the normal edible nutrients will not be able to keep up.
There is still nutrient solution to be distributed on many planets below, and it would be impractical to rely solely on procurement.
Lan Yi looked indifferent, ignoring her son's gaze. She raised her hand to take the information handed over by the adjutant, and after checking that it was correct, she had it distributed.
After seeing what was written above, the growers looked in Lan Yi's direction with some surprise.
"Lan Yi Diplomacy... No, Master Lan, what does it say about voluntarily giving up the Free Country nationality and all the Free Country resources?"
"Literally, the Lan family's planet and the residents on it will directly belong to the nationality of the Free State. Since you are going to the empire, you will naturally have to give up your nationality and all the resources you will enjoy in the future." Lan Yi explained seriously, not caring at all whether they wanted to leave or not.
"It says that the Lan family will not provide any spaceships. If we sign the contract, we need to find a spaceship by ourselves within a week and move away from the planet as soon as possible? But now all the spaceships of the Federation are out of service, and it is impossible for us to move in a short period of time!" One of the planters said unconvinced, "At least they have to provide a spaceship, right? If not, they have to give us enough time to contact one, right?"
"This planting planet is a planet given to employees by the Lan family. It does not belong to the planters, including the house you currently live in. Since the contract has been terminated, the Lan family has no obligation to protect your travel safety, so you will naturally have to contact the spacecraft to go to the empire by yourself. Within a week, I will arrange for new planters to take over the current land, and you will naturally have to move out as soon as possible. If you are still there after a week, you will be charged rent according to the normal cost of living on the planting planet. For your financial considerations, it is better to move out as soon as possible."
After all, the rent for living on the Planting Star is extremely high.
In the past, many people would deliberately buy a piece of land and live next to the fields, saying that this could alleviate the discomfort of rabies. Basically, wealthy people would build a few villas on the planting planet to facilitate holiday rest.
Over time, the price gradually increased, and even became much more expensive than plants.
"You're not going to leave and tear off a piece of the Lan family at the same time, are you?" Lan Yi's calm face showed a hint of sarcasm. "Although I don't know who instigated you, you know very well how the Lan family treated you before. Since you're leaving, you should part ways in peace. It's impossible to treat a planter who is about to leave the same way as one of our own."
