Chapter 148 Want More Things

At least in the two or three months after the two empires signed the armistice agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did nothing at first glance.

Although with the end of the war, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been actively restoring and rebuilding the major institutions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that were closed or even severely damaged due to the impact of the war during this period, but these things are in the eyes of most people. Come on, it's just some trivial things, not to mention how important it is.

No one would believe that Xinfei Merchant would take such a big risk, go to war with the two empires, and then after winning, just let everything return to the original state.

However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really didn't do anything, and it was still recovering step by step according to the plan it had made.

However, people can easily find that these strongholds restored and rebuilt by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce obviously reflect a much more important position than before.

Not to mention that in many small countries, even in huge empires such as the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, any institution of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will receive various care and preferential treatment from the local officials, and even in many cases, the treatment they receive is better than The chambers of commerce in the two empires' own countries were even better.

This is of course the benefit that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gained through this war, but in the eyes of many people, it is still far from enough.

You see, both the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Drake have acquired a large area of ​​valuable territory and have stabilized the situation.

Although the Kingdom of Rulson did not acquire a large area of ​​territory, it also took the territory that belonged to the Principality of Norton into its arms. In addition, it also received huge war compensation with a total amount of more than 200 million gold coins and other items from the Candela Empire. Incalculable benefits.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, theoretically there should be no desire for territory, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the undoubted protagonist in this war, whether it is the Kingdom of Lampari, the Duchy of Drake or the Kingdom of Rulson The main reason they were able to defeat the two empires was the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Since this is the case, then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should obtain the greatest benefits.

Therefore, many people are very puzzled that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not done anything for such a long time, because it is completely unreasonable.

"Is it really hard to understand?" Xu Yi shrugged, showing a relaxed smile. "For our chamber of commerce, it is in our greatest interest to restore everything to normal. You see, because of this war, our chamber of commerce has invested a total of nearly 300 million yuan. Within a year. The huge profits lost due to the severe impact of the war on trade are at least more than 200 million gold coins. Therefore, it is our greatest interest to restore everything to an orderly state."

Sevini frowned slightly, stared at Xu Yi for a while, and sighed softly. shook his head.

"I do believe that this is your real idea. But Xu Yi, I'm afraid this is not the wish of everyone in your chamber of commerce. So you said that your chamber of commerce really doesn't intend to gain any benefits from it, but I can't even believe it with a single finger Oh."

"If you don't believe it, don't believe it. Do you still expect me to explain them one by one?" Xu Yi smiled and decided to put this question aside. "When it comes to gaining benefits, on the surface, the vast majority of people will think that your Lampari Kingdom is the one that benefits the most. Then, as Her Majesty the Queen of the Lampari Kingdom, how do you feel?"

Sevini smiled wryly: "Okay, don't make fun of me. You don't know how busy I am lately? It's time I spared my best to meet you today."

"So I disturbed you?" Xu Yi laughed. He made a movement of turning around to leave, but Seweini rushed up a few steps and grabbed him.

"Stop joking." Seweney reprimanded. "You should be very clear about what I came to discuss with you."

Seeing the exhaustion that could not be concealed in Seweini's expression, Xu Yi sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not kidding anymore. Seweini, you should be worrying about how to digest the huge wealth you have obtained from the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Franks. territory?"

"To be precise, how to digest the large number of people in these territories." Seweini frowned deeply. "Although it is a good thing to acquire a large number of territories, and even let countless people in the country call me the greatest king ever, but no one of these guys knows that they want to turn the people in these territories into the real members of our Lampari Kingdom. How difficult it is for the people."

"I don't think it's so difficult." Xu Yi said with a relaxed smile. "To be honest, I have conducted field investigations in countless countries on the continent of Sainz, and found that there is a characteristic that all countries have. That is, no matter which country's people actually have no sense of belonging or so-called loyalty to this country heart of."

Sevini blinked and stared at Xu Yi for a while, with a strange expression on his face.

"Isn't this a matter of course? You didn't realize it until now, did you?"

Xu Yi suddenly felt suffocated.

He thought it was an extremely sharp and profound conclusion that he had finally come to after so many years of observation. Unexpectedly, Seweini would say "Of course".

"Hey, as a king, do you take it for granted that your people have no loyalty to you?"

"Of course. The people will only pledge their allegiance to their noble territories, and it doesn't make any sense to express their allegiance to the country. Why do you want to do that?"

It was only then that Xu Yi realized that Seweini had confused what he called "loyalty" with the popular "swearing allegiance to the territory" on Sainz's mainland.

But seriously. Sevigny was right.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this cultural tradition on the Sainz continent that the people on this continent have no loyalty to the country.

When Xu Yi researched the history of the Sainz Continent, he found that under the three thousand years of human rule, the Sainz Continent had undergone countless national historical changes, which led to countless wars, but there was never a war dominated by ordinary people. civilian.

Strictly speaking, the rise and fall of countries on the Sainz continent seems to have nothing to do with ordinary civilians, and it is completely a game between nobles.

If it has always been like this, how can civilians have any sense of belonging and loyalty to the country.

But this is also good, that is, when a country occupies the territory of another country, it does not need to spend too much effort to change their thinking and make them identify with the new country again.

"So this is not a very simple matter. You just need to let the new people live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone has food to eat, a house to live in, and clothes to wear. I don't think any of these civilians will cause trouble for you. "Xu Yi said indifferently.

"It's easy for you to say." Seweini glared at Xu Yi. "Not to mention anything else, it's very difficult just to let everyone have food, okay?"

"Is this difficult?" Xu Yi was a little puzzled. "Take out your previous experience in promoting the farmland magic mechanical farming model. You can just spread it out as it is. These things were also very popular in the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Franks before. It makes no sense to be replaced by your Kingdom of Lampari. It won't work after that."

"That's the problem." Seweney shook his head. "In the past, it was only your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that sold farmland magic machines to the Kingdom of Sark and the Frankish Kingdom. They could only get what you sold them. Even if the farmland magic machines you sold to them were lower than our Lampari Kingdom's level Some, older models, and poorer functions are fine. They have no complaints. Even if there are, they are directed at your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"And now they have also become the subjects of the Lampari Kingdom, so they demand the same treatment as other subjects of your Lampari Kingdom, asking for the same model of farmland magic machinery?" Xu Yi took the conversation and asked road.

"This is just one of them. In addition to the farmland magic machinery, the people in the new territory also want to obtain the supply of chemical fertilizers, obtain discounts related to household magic machinery, and obtain the same follow-up maintenance and other service policies..." Seweini spread his hands . "I really want to agree to these things, but if I say nothing, they won't believe that I say nothing."

Seeing the helpless expression on Seweini's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"So you want to get these things from me now that you can decide?"

"Yes." Sevini nodded generously in acknowledgment.

Having known Xu Yi for so long, she knows exactly how to talk to Xu Yi.

In many cases, it would be better to be straightforward.

"Well...then what exactly do you want?" Xu Yi asked again.

Sevini turned around and took out a document that had obviously been prepared long ago from the desk and handed it to Xu Yi.

"It's all on here."

Xu also took the file. Glancing casually, he opened his mouth in surprise.

"Heh, Sevini, why don't you have a small appetite, and you actually want to take so many things from me in one go? Among other things, you actually want the forging technology of the magic machine tool. You should know that these technologies are ours. The chamber of commerce has never been transferred."

"It's never been transferred, and it doesn't mean it won't be transferred in the future." Seweini said seriously. "Xu Yi, your ideal is to let the magic industry spread throughout the continent of Sainz, so the technology of these magic machine tools cannot always be exclusive to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, other countries and chambers of commerce on the mainland will always be the only Being able to manufacture some of the simplest household magic machines is not called developing the magic industry at all. Therefore, other than the manufacture of household magic machines, you will have to transfer them sooner or later.”

"You make a lot of sense." Xu Yi smiled and nodded. "But why do you think that your kingdom of Lampari will be chosen by me as the first transferee?"

"If it's based on my good personal relationship with you, would you believe it?" Seweney asked with a smile.

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "You are not such an unintelligent person."

"So I rely on the relatively complete foundation of the magic industry in our Lampari Kingdom, and the experience in manufacturing magic machinery that is far deeper than other countries, as well as the good cooperation with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for so many years. How? These Is it enough?"

Xu Yi glanced at the document in his hand, then looked at Sevini's sincere and serious eyes, and smiled.

"It seems that the history of the magic industry on the continent of Sains. It's time to turn a new page." (~^~)
