Chapter 79 Does Everything Have to Do with Him?
The view of the wheat fields is not the only thing that sets Bangta City apart from other cities.
Sophia and the four walked along the road. Not only did they see that many farmers in the wheat fields were using magic harvesters to harvest wheat quickly and efficiently, but they also saw that many places that were not wheat fields were building beautiful buildings. Brick building.
These brick and tile buildings are beautifully shaped, and they are connected together in rows, forming a large beautiful and spectacular living quarter.
In addition, they also saw that on both sides of the Sandy River with a width of about 50 meters outside the city of Bangta, there were countless workers busy on the riverbank, and they kept putting bricks and other things. It was piled up by the river, and I didn't know what to do.
They also saw a lot of seemingly barren land, with huge factories rising from the ground, and there are also many people busy on the construction site.
When the carriage finally entered the gate of Bangta City, Sophia couldn't help being surprised at the crowded appearance outside the carriage, and exclaimed: "Why are there so many people here? Isn't Bangta City a small town? Why do I feel like there are so many more people here than our Anvilmar?"
Baron Haines glanced outside the carriage, smiled and said: "A small town with a population of only 50,000 has suddenly become a population of more than 200,000. It's not surprising that there are not many people. Of course, in fact, it is calculated. , Bangta City is still not as large as our Anweimar City. You must know that according to the results of the last statistics, Anweimar City adds up to more than 500,000 people. "
"But more than 200,000 is a lot." Sophia was still very surprised. "A city with so many people can be regarded as a big city in the entire Kingdom. Hainas, why does Bangta City suddenly have so many people?"
"The reason is simple. Because there are many, many job opportunities in Bangta City now. So to speak. Anyone who comes here. Even if the major chambers of commerce only hire an ordinary worker without any skills, the minimum salary is ten gold coins a month." Hainas replied.
"Ten gold coins a month?" Sophia thought for a while, then turned to Kennard and asked; "A lot?"
"A lot. Because even ordinary workers in Anweimar City usually only get about six gold coins a month's salary." Kennard nodded. "So it's not surprising that there are so many people in Bangta City all of a sudden. Sophia, you should know that many people in our kingdom can't even get enough to eat, and they are very satisfied if they can have a job. If you can get a salary of ten gold coins a month. That is a very satisfying thing for many people."
Sophia thought for a while and felt a little strange.
"That's not right. Anweimar City is the capital of the kingdom. The workers' salaries should be the highest. Why did the Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City offer such high salaries to the workers? Do they have too much money?"
"You should ask Xu Yi about this." Hainas smiled. "Because this guy was the first to offer high salaries to the workers, other chambers of commerce in Bangta City had no choice but to offer the same high salaries to their own workers, otherwise the workers would all be sacked. The Chamber of Commerce will take it away."
"Why is it related to this guy again?" Sophia muttered in dissatisfaction. "Is it all about this guy in Bonta City?"
Haines laughed: "You're right. Now, no matter what you see in Bangta City, maybe you will have something to do with him more or less. Who made the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in Bangta now? The influence in the city is too great.”
"Huh! I don't believe it." Sophia pouted, glanced out the car window, and suddenly pointed to a shop on the street and shouted, "Look. This has nothing to do with him at all?"
Haines glanced in the direction Sophia pointed, and found that this was a women's clothing store.
Glancing at the sign above the women's clothing store. Heiners burst out laughing.
"Haha, Sophia, I'm sorry, but you're wrong again. Although this store sells women's clothing, the clothes sold in this store are all produced by the Armani Chamber of Commerce. Some time ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce just developed magic for the Armani Chamber of Commerce. Textile machines, the clothes and fabrics of the Armani Chamber of Commerce are probably all made by magic weaving machines. Do you think this has anything to do with Xu Yi?"
Sophia's eyes widened and she stared at the women's clothing store until it disappeared behind the car window, then she turned around angrily, glared at Haines and Kennard who were snickering, and snorted coldly: "This Xu Yi is so annoying! Why is there him everywhere!"
Kennard smiled slightly: "Sophia, do you really hate him so much? Then I want to tell you some very unfortunate news. If nothing happens, I'm afraid you will see his real person in twenty minutes. "

Twenty minutes later, the four-person carriage stopped in a quiet alley in the west of the city.
The four got off the carriage, and Sophia looked up at the beautiful two-story wooden building in front of her, looking a little surprised.
"This nasty guy lives in a nice place. But since he's so rich, why doesn't he buy a manor outside the city? Much better than living here?"
"Xu Yi is actually a very frugal guy. As far as I can see, he doesn't care much about himself, whether it is food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so he usually lives very frugally." Haines said. "Before he lived in a very dilapidated ordinary rented house, I think if it wasn't for Vivian, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of living in this small building."
"Who is Vivienne? Sounds like a girl's name. Doesn't he have a girlfriend named Miss Steele? Why did he buy this building because of Vivienne? Is he actually a bad guy? , It's not enough to have such a beautiful girlfriend as Miss Steele, is it still entangled with this girl named Vivian?" Sophia asked immediately.
Henaston couldn't help laughing and crying, couldn't help but patted Sophia's head and scolded: "Where did you think of going? Vivienne is a slave he bought. This year is only fifteen years old. It's not as old as you. Xu I always treat her like my sister."
"Hmph. If you look at it as a sister now, maybe you won't look at it like this in two years." Sophia muttered softly, and when she saw Kennard glaring at herself, she quickly shut her mouth, not daring to discuss this topic any more.
But in her mind, she has automatically judged Xu Yi as a scum who likes to play with female slaves and pedals two boats at the same time.
Hainas ignored what Sophia was thinking, and glanced at a figure flashing on the second floor. It seemed that someone was at home, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came from the door, the door opened wide, and a young and beautiful face came out.
"Hey, Vivian, I haven't seen you for a few months. You seem to have grown up a lot, and you are a lot more beautiful than before." Heiners raised his hand and greeted.
Vivian glanced at Hainas and remembered it instantly. He hurriedly gave him a respectful salute: "Hello, Baron, you came here suddenly today. Are you looking for something to do with your master?"
"Of course, I'm not looking for him, what am I doing all the way from Anweimar City?" Hynas responded with a smile, and turned sideways to let Vivian see the other three behind him. "Go and tell Xu Yi that I brought three friends to visit him."
"Okay, Lord Baron, please come and sit first with your three friends, and I will tell the master that you are here."
Vivian introduced the four of them into the living room on the first floor and sat down, and then poured tea for the four of them. Then she pleaded guilty and trotted upstairs.
Seeing Vivian's figure disappearing at the corner of the second floor, Sophia withdrew her gaze that looked at her for a long time, turned her head to look at Haines, and said softly, "She is Vivian? Why do I think she doesn't look like a person at all? slave."
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Haines was a little strange.
"Because she is so beautiful and has such a temperament and self-cultivation, she is like a young lady of a noble family. How can she be a slave? Is she actually the daughter of a run-down noble? That's not right, no matter how run-down, Wouldn't he make his daughter a slave?" Sophia wondered.
"It's not as complicated as you think. Vivian used to be a slave, and the reason why she became what she is now is entirely because Xu Yi has carefully nurtured her after buying her. I saw her for the first time last year. At that time, she was just a completely inconspicuous little girl. I didn't expect that less than a year later, she has become so beautiful, and even her temperament has become so good. I have to say that Xu Yi is in her training. Education is very willing to spend money." Haines said.
"Hmph, spending so much money on a female slave must be to satisfy his bad tastes." Sophia curled her lips.
"Sophia, pay attention to your own words!" Kennard suddenly shouted in a low voice. "If you keep this attitude, go back with Uncle Hank tomorrow and don't stay here anymore."
Kennard actually dotes on Sophia's younger sister, and rarely speaks to her in such a serious tone, but Sophia knows that once his tone becomes like this, it will prove that he is really angry.
So Sophia could only stick out her tongue obediently, hummed, and stopped speaking.
After a while, two footsteps, one light and one heavy, sounded on the stairs.
The lighter one is of course Vivian who just went up, and the heavier one is Xu Yi.
Haynes, Kennard, and Hank all stood up together.
Sophia was still sitting silently drinking tea, and when she noticed the movements of the three, she woke up, quickly put down the teacup, stood up obediently, and looked towards the stairs.
Although Sophia heard the name Xu Yi countless times from the mouths of Haines and Kennard along the way, she also had a general understanding of this person from their conversations, and also formed a certain impression of Xu Yi, but In any case, it is not as intuitive as seeing me with my own eyes.
Sophia's eyes widened with anticipation and curiosity.
A pair of feet first appeared from the corner of the stairs, then a pair of long legs wearing a pair of ordinary cotton trousers, and then a pair of long legs with a big frame, but a little thin, wearing an ugly blue linen blouse on the upper body.
In the end, the face was finally revealed.
Sophia glanced over and felt greatly disappointed. (To be continued..)
