Chapter 76

Hearing this voice, everyone's faces were a little weird.

Because it was Baron Billier who made this sound.

As soon as Baron Billier came to Bangta City, he abruptly drove the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce out of the territory, proving to everyone that he had broken with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce moved to Thornton Manor as a whole, Baron Billier settled down unexpectedly, and did not find Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in trouble as everyone imagined.

Based on this situation, everyone could not help but guess that in fact, Baron Billier drove the New Flying Chamber of Commerce out of the territory at the behest of the Stark family, not his original intention.

But here, Baron Billier suddenly made such a clear objection, which really surprised everyone.

Xu Yi glanced at Baron Billier, without any intention of being angry, and smiled: "Your Excellency Baron, of course, this Bangta City is not mine alone, so if we can successfully transform Bangta City, we will enjoy the benefits. It will be everyone in Bonta City."

Baron Billier snorted again: "Everyone enjoys the benefits? President Xu, are you lying to children? I think only you and your new flight merchants will enjoy the benefits? Otherwise, you are so active. Well?"

Xu Yi glanced at Baron Billier, thought for a moment, and then asked, "So, Your Excellency Baron, are you against this overall renovation project?"

Baron Billier looked at Xu Yi coldly: "Don't try to confuse me. The overall renovation project this time was proposed by the Lord of the City, and of course I will not object. But I will not express my support either. "

Everyone's faces were even weirder, thinking that what you said was really wonderful.

Since it was proposed by the Lord of the City. So not expressing support is actually the same as opposing. What else do you explain.

Xu Yi's reaction was also very good.

After hearing Baron Billier's answer. He just nodded simply, and then said, "Okay, I understand."

There is no intention to discuss this issue with Baron Billier at all!

Baron Billier was obviously a little stunned, but since Xu Yi made such a statement, if he still took the initiative to entangle him, it would be really disgraced, so he could only shut his mouth and say nothing.

Xu Yi then introduced several other pictures to the crowd. Without exception, these are the scenes outside the city of Bangta after the complete renovation project that Xu Yi envisioned.

Seeing the beautiful scenes drawn on these paintings, everyone in the audience couldn't believe it.

After all, compared with the current state of Bangta City, which is really messy, the Bangta City on these paintings is too beautiful, and even Anweimar City is dwarfed by comparison.

However, everyone still hopes that Bangta City can really become the way depicted in these paintings. If it becomes true, the future Bangta City will become an excellent residence that everyone will envy. .

After demonstrating these renderings, Xu Yi immediately turned to the topic.

He knew very well that for these people in the audience, no matter how good the paintings were. But it's not as important as the benefit you get from it.

So after introducing the renderings, he began to explain the significance of the overall renovation plan for Bangta City.

After talking about the various benefits brought by the concentration of industrial and living areas. It can be clearly found that the representatives of the chambers of commerce in the audience have their eyes shining, obviously smelling business opportunities from what Xu Yi said.

And although most of the nobles didn't think about it, they were also a little excited when they heard the scenes described by Xu Yi.

After Xu Yi spent more than half an hour talking about some specific plans, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the audience were no longer as confused as before, and it was obvious that they had begun to turn their minds.

Seeing this situation, Count Satsuma couldn't help but smiled and showed an admiring smile at Xu Yi.

This kid is really good at finding the benefits that most people can enjoy in one thing, which makes the things he handles more acceptable to others.

The banquet lasted for a whole night, and when it was over, Xu Yi only felt that his mouth was dry.

At the banquet, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and nobles kept coming to Xu Yi to inquire about the details of the transformation, and wanted to get some specific information from Xu Yi, so as to know what specific benefits they could get from it.

Xu Yi had to answer one by one, and also help the other party to analyze.

Although everyone seemed satisfied when they finally left, Xu Yi was drooling so hard, and finally even his throat became a little dry and sore.

"Hey, I will never do such a thankless thing again." After accepting the praise from Earl Satsuma, Xu Yi couldn't help thinking to himself after saying goodbye to him.

It was already late at night, Xu Yi looked up at the moon and stars in the night sky, gave up the idea of ​​riding a carriage, and walked to his home in the city on foot.

The current state of Bangta is indeed very different from the same time last year.

At this time last year, because the autumn nights had begun to turn cooler, and at such a late time as now, everyone in Bangta City had returned to their homes to rest, and no one could be seen on the streets.

Now that it is already late at night, there are still many small shops on both sides of the streets of Bangta City, which are brightly lit, and various noisy sounds are heard from time to time.

Even on the street, there are also some small stalls selling late-night snacks, and various aromas emerge from them, attracting people who have not rested at this time to take out a few or dozens of silver coins from their pockets to enjoy a delicious meal. supper.

Compared with the tranquility at this time last year, the current Bangta City has become very lively even at night, very much like the densely populated big cities in the Celestial Dynasty on Earth.

There is only one reason for this, and that is people.

Bangta City originally had only about 50,000 people, but now it accommodates more than 200,000 people.

With so many people cramming into this tiny city, it certainly makes a big difference here.

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing as he watched a young man and woman walk to a night market stall and sit down in an embrace.

This situation is exactly the same as life in those cities on earth.

The only difference is probably that there are no street lights in Bangta City, and both street shops and night market stalls can only rely on magic lights for lighting.

Thinking of the street lamp, Xu Yi moved in his heart, raised his head and glanced up.

Although Bangta City is old and difficult to renovate as a whole, it is still possible and necessary to make some improvements.

For example, street lights are very common in cities on Earth, but things that are basically absent in cities on the Sainz continent are actually very meaningful.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi immediately estimated the cost of a street lamp in his mind.

Because the magic lamp does not need additional power supply like those street lamps on earth, it only needs to erect a high enough shelf and hang the magic lamp, and the corresponding cost will be much less.

But there are several problems with this.

The first problem is that although Evita and Akali have made new breakthroughs in the research of long-distance magic power transmission technology, now the magic power of magic crystals can be transmitted to the magic circle up to three meters away by special means. However, the transmission at this distance is not stable enough, so it can only be in the experimental stage and cannot be practically used.

And the demand for street lamps must exceed three meters, so the magic lamp is hung on a high shelf, and where the switch is set is very problematic.

Moreover, the street lamps on earth can remotely control the unified switch because of the unified power supply used, but with the current technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this is definitely not possible.

And if the switch is placed directly on the lamp post, it is difficult to prevent some boring guys from randomly pressing the switch.

Although setting up a closed space on the lamp post and adding a lock outside can prevent this from happening, it is a very troublesome thing if no one switches these street lights on and off at a fixed time.

After just thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi realized that there were too many problems, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

"Oh, in the end, it's still a lack of technology." Xu Yi sighed in his heart. "It would be much more convenient if Evita and the others could completely master the remote magic power transmission technology, making the transmission distance infinite and allowing the magic power of the magic crystal to be transmitted at will like electricity."

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi could only sigh helplessly.

Magic is not electricity, after all, and cannot be transmitted through a simple wire.

But if this problem is not solved, it is often faced with various thorny problems such as those found when considering street lights.

"How to solve it?" Xu Yi quickly fell into his engrossed thoughts, but suddenly forgot to look at the road.

"boom--"

Xu Yi slammed into the iron pillar used by a store on the street to hold up the tent at the entrance, and he gasped in pain, and even the stars appeared in front of him.

The sound of his impact was particularly loud, instantly attracting the attention of everyone who was enjoying supper at the street shops and night market stalls.

Seeing Xu Yi covering his head with a painful face, everyone couldn't help laughing and snickered.

The girl in the young couple that Xu Yi saw just now even secretly pointed at Xu Yi and whispered something to her male partner with a smile.

However, after a while, many people recognized that this person who would bump into a pillar while walking on the road was actually the chairman Xu of the now well-known Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City!

Just when people were stunned, Xu Yi suddenly jumped up from the ground and laughed wildly in front of everyone's eyes as if they were looking at a lunatic.

"Haha... I'm so stupid! Why do I have to use magic instead of electricity? Am I a fucking stone head? Haha, there is such an easy way, haha..." (To be continued..)
