Chapter 34 You Are Not Fit to Be the Queen

Of course Xu Yi had no choice.

If you refuse Earl Satsuma's request, it means that you may lose the support of Earl Satsuma from now on.

And even if Earl Summer's support is not important, the support of those who prompted him to make these demands to Xu Yi is absolutely important.

Earl Satsuma can say that this is related to the interests of the entire Lampari Kingdom, so it proves that this request actually represents not only the will of Earl Satsuma alone, so Xu Yi can't refuse it at all.

However, agreeing to Earl Summer's request means that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will only enter the military industry that Xu Yi has always resisted.

Although with the gradual development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the gradual acceptance of magic machines, Xu Yi had long expected that such a day would come, and was already mentally prepared.

But in any case, he did not expect this day to come so early.

The various civilian magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have not yet been fully popularized in the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already set foot in the military industry.

Recalling that the vast majority of high-tech technologies on earth were first applied in the military, and then gradually turned into civilian use, Xu Yi suddenly felt that this might be the fate of the machinery industry.

This is true on Earth, and it is no exception on the continent of Sainz.

So after Xu Yi agreed to Earl Satsuma, it didn't take long before he adjusted his somewhat resisting attitude and began to actively raise funds.

It's just that Xu Yi was still a little uncomfortable when he saw Sevigny suddenly appear in front of him, and he kept talking to himself about the armor and weapons used by various armies.

"His Royal Highness. I always thought that your main concern was people's livelihood. I never imagined that you would intervene in the affairs of the army. It really makes me... feel a little bit different." Xu Yi looked at Sevigny's warm and charming side face.

"Contrast? Why?" Sevigny looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

"Because I always think... a gentle and beautiful girl like you is suitable for caring about the lives of the people, but if it is associated with these cold weapons and armors, it is really strange." Xu Yi said honestly.

"Do you think I'm beautiful?" Seeing Xu Yi nodded, Sevigny smiled slightly, and continued: "Thank you for your compliment. Indeed, compared to cold weapons and brutal military warfare, I prefer to pay attention to one aspect of people's lives. Bit by bit. But there's no way, since I'm the princess in your mouth, it's impossible to completely abandon these things."

"Do you want to inherit the throne?" Xu Yi couldn't help asking.

After asking, Xu Yi immediately realized that he had asked a bit rashly.

How could it be his turn to ask such a question.

Fortunately, Sevigny just glanced at Xu Yi in surprise, but did not look angry, then tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied to Xu Yi: "If I tell my heart, I don't want to. Of course. No one will believe it. This sentence."

"I believe." Xu Yi said quickly. "Because I don't think you're really fit to be a queen."

"Is it because I'm not worthy?" Sevigny asked rhetorically.

"No, it's not unworthy. It's just not suitable." Xu Yi said sincerely. "Although I don't have many contacts with you, I think you are actually a very peaceful and kind girl, and this kind of personality is not suitable for being a queen. To be honest, I actually don't quite understand why you were born in Her Royal Highness would be such a character."

"It's just your illusion." Sevigny shook his head. "As a princess, how can I possibly be the character you said? Well, let's stop chatting, let's get down to business."

Sevigny clapped his hands, took out a blueprint, and spread it on the table in front of the two.

"Have you seen it? This is the standard armor currently used by the Royal Guard of the Kingdom. There are various size marks on it, you should understand it."

Xu Yi looked at the drawing and nodded: "I can understand, but I am afraid that the drawing alone is not enough. It is best to give me a real armor."

"It's no problem, I'll have someone send me a few pieces of armor of different specifications." Sevigny nodded, looking at Xu Yi, who was lying on the drawing and carefully observing, and asked, "How is it? Are you sure?"

After Xu Yi read it again, he straightened up and showed Sevigny a confident smile: "Your Highness, Princess, have you forgotten how I answered this question to me last time?"

Sevigny was slightly startled, then remembered that before Xu Yi wanted to develop a magic forging machine last time, she did ask Xu Yi this question.

At that time, Xu Yi's answer was - of course!

"That's good." Although Sevigny's smile was not as sunny as Steele's, it made people feel warm and peaceful like the warm winter sun. "I hope that this time, President Xu, you can still do what you say. In addition, I can tell you in advance that if you cooperate with our Wang ** this time smoothly, then your new flight merchants will likely become Wang ** in the future. It is an important partner of the Chinese side and will receive strong support from the royal family and the military.”

"What about the specific benefits?" Xu Yi asked.

"Not yet. But at least, it won't let your new flight merchants be swept out of the door by Baron Billier like this time." There was a little more joke in Sevigny's smile.

Xu Yi couldn't help groaning: "Your Highness, it's your fault. You and His Majesty the King are inconvenient to come forward. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is an important partner of the Agriculture Department, but this time the Agriculture Department will not stand up for us. , I'm really disappointed."

"The Department of Agriculture can't do anything." Sevigny said helplessly. "The Stark family is the nobles with the most territory in the kingdom. Nearly half of the food that the Agriculture Department turns over each year comes from the Stark family. Do you think the Agriculture Department may question the Stark family because of you and the new flying merchant? "

Xu Yi frowned: "That's not right. Although the Stark family is the noble with the most territory in the kingdom, it can't compare to the royal family? Why does the Stark family turn over nearly half of the food?"

"That's because the land owned by the royal family is actually equivalent to the land owned by the kingdom, which is not the same as the private domain of the nobles. The Stark family can rely on concentrated labor to reclaim a large area of ​​farmland, increase production, and turn in a large amount of food at the same time. , but not the royal family. Because in the first place, we can't find enough people to clear the farmland."

After Sevigny finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yi meaningfully. "Now you know, why does King Father attach so much importance to the farmland magic machinery of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi was suddenly stunned, and after looking at Sevigny, he cried out again.

"His Royal Highness, since our New Flying Chamber of Commerce is so important, then you and His Majesty the King should stand up for us this time. Otherwise, it would be too chilling for me."

Sevigny showed a helpless and bitter smile: "No way, the father also has his embarrassment. And I... At present, there is really nothing I can do. In addition, inside our royal family... There are actually some different voices."

Xu Yi looked at Sevigny with a tired expression on his face, and couldn't help shaking his head: "That's why I said, the throne is really not something ordinary people can do. Well, Her Royal Highness, I just complained casually, you don't have to worry about it. On. Regarding the research and development of this magic machine tool, I agree on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Give us some time, and it should be able to be developed smoothly. "

"Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of the king." After saying that, Sevigny gave Xu Yi a standard court lady salute, which startled Xu Yi.

This is the first time that she has saluted Xu Yi so solemnly, which shows that she attaches great importance to this research and development task in her mind.

After sending Sevigny away, Xu Yi glanced at the blueprint on the table, rolled it up, thought about it, gave up the idea of ​​stuffing it into the office table, and put it in his arms.

Although this is the new office in Sangqiton Manor, usually without Xu Yi's consent, it is impossible for others to break in without authorization, but this time the next research and development task needs to be strictly confidential. It is not necessary, and Xu also does not want to easily revealed.

After doing some calculations in the office, Xu Yi opened the door and walked out, taking a breath of the fresh air outside, feeling that his drowsy head was suddenly awake.

If it weren't for the incessant roar of machines in the manor, this manor left by Viscount Thornkeyton would really be a good place for self-cultivation.

Glancing at the two huge simple factories on the left and right, Xu Yi smiled, thinking that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was starting anew.

After a busy week, the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were finally relocated from the Stark family's territory.

Of course, only the machinery and equipment inside the factory can be removed, and as for the factory building, there is absolutely no way to remove it.

For the four large and small factories left on the territory, Baron Billier even made a very shameless request to Xu Yi for compensation.

Because he felt that these delivery rooms were left because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had not been demolished cleanly, it would be impossible for him to spend time and money to demolish them, so he asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to compensate him for the cost of the demolition. .

Of course, Xu Yi firmly disagreed with such a shameless and unreasonable request.

Baron Billier still wanted to entangle, or even threaten Xu Yi, but was directly reprimanded by Baron Satsuma, who couldn't bear it after receiving the news, and was forced to give up.

Thinking of Baron Satsuma's unclear position from when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was kicked out of the territory by Baron Billier, and now clearly expressing his support, and even reprimanding Baron Billier in person, Xu Yi knew that this must be because of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Finally set foot in the military industry's sake.

And this is actually the main reason why Xu Yi finally decided to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be involved in the military industry.

If you want to build a real magic industrial empire on this continent, the military industry is an impossible link.

While thinking about how to proceed, Xu Yi suddenly moved in his heart, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly to the surrounding air: "Yanis, come out." (To be continued.)
