Chapter 160 Legal Smuggling

"Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your support and help. {乐} read {small} said 3.23x. But if you do this, won't you be...too tough? The members of the parliament will definitely be against it. Your approach is very opinionated." Xu Yi asked carefully with his words.

Lampari XIII glanced at Xu Yi: "What? Do you really want to be deprived of your noble status?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "I don't really value my noble status very much. If I am deprived, I will be deprived. The problem is that your majesty's actions may cause dissatisfaction with you in the noble council, because I am a mere viscount. Not worth it."

"I think it's worth it." Lampari XIII shook his head slowly, gave Xu Yi a meaningful look, and asked in a deep voice: "Xu Yi, if I ignore this matter today, you will be deprived of Noble status, and then being taken back to private territory and some privileges that only nobles have, what will you do next?"

"No way." Xu Yi shook his head. "I don't have the ability to resist the resolution of the noble council. Since they insist on doing so, then I will honestly hand over the territory and privileges."

"So what about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? How do you plan to arrange it?" Lampari XIII asked.

"I can develop the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from nothing to this point, so on the current basis, of course I have enough confidence to find another place to develop." Xu Yi smiled confidently: "Where is it? It doesn't matter, as long as I'm still here, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will still be there."

"Your self-confidence is very strong." Lampari XIII read the header approvingly. "But you don't think it's important where it develops, but I think it's very important. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is such an important thing. If I let it slip away from our Lampari Kingdom, then I will become a sinner of the kingdom."

Xu Yi was taken aback: "Your Majesty, I never thought you would value our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so much."

"How could I not take it seriously?" Lampari XIII clapped a stack of papers at his hand. "There are countless data and examples here that prove that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has played a very positive role in the development of the kingdom. If I don't value this, then what qualifications do I have to be the king?"

Xu Yi chuckled and rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, since you value our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so much, do you want to give us the privilege to read it again?"

Lampari XIII was a little funny: "Your boy is quite good at climbing, but I will give you a chance. Tell me, what privilege do you want? If it is reasonable, I can promise you."

I didn't expect Lampari XIII to be so easy to talk to. Xu Yixin was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, although you have previously approved our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to have the right to trade freely, I feel that this right is not enough."

"Oh? What else do you need?"

"Well... this right to free trade allows our chamber of commerce to have the right to trade with other countries and regions outside the kingdom. However, trade with enemy countries is strictly prohibited. So..."

Lampari XIII narrowed his eyes: "What? Do you still want to do business with the Kingdom of Sark? Don't you think the Kingdom of Sark is not strong enough? Do you want to give them some money to help them become stronger?"

"Of course not." Xu Yi shook his head immediately. "Your Majesty. Although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always adopted a win-win strategy when doing business with the other party. But for the business itself, it is not difficult to simply make money from the other party. It is not difficult to trade with the Sak Kingdom. It will help the Kingdom of Sark become stronger, but on the contrary, it can drain their resources and money through these trades and weaken their strength."

"Really?" Lampari XIII was shocked and asked curiously, "How exactly?"

"Let me give you an example. Your Majesty, for example, our Chamber of Commerce sold a magical air conditioner to the Kingdom of Sark. Do you think this will improve their strength?"

"Of course not." Lampari XIII shook his head. "Magic air-conditioning can only be used for daily use, and it is obviously not helpful for the strength of the entire kingdom."

"But the latest magic air conditioner of our Chamber of Commerce is currently priced at 28 gold coins. Selling one to the Sark Kingdom is equivalent to earning 28 gold coins from the Sark Kingdom. This is equivalent to weakening the Sark kingdom. The kingdom's funds have strengthened the strength of our chamber of commerce."

Lampari XIII pondered for a moment, then read his head lightly: "I probably understand what you mean. But the Kingdom of Sark is not that stupid. Whatever you want to sell to them, they want, and there will be restrictions on it." .”

Xu Yi laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I think even you should know about smuggling, right?"

Lampari XIII's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "You, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, brought up smuggling in front of me, you are really brave!"

Xu Yi was not afraid at all, and still said with a playful smile: "Your Majesty, not only do I want to mention smuggling in front of you, but the privilege I want to ask you this time is about smuggling?"

Lampari XIII was immediately happy: "What? Does your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also want to smuggle?"

"True. But what we want is legal smuggling."

"What's legal about smuggling? Are you kidding me?" Lampari XIII gave Xu Yi a look.

"Of course." Xu Yi put away his smile and said seriously: "As long as the smuggling is under your supervision and approval, it is naturally legal."

Seeing that Xu Yi was not joking, Lampari XIII thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xu Yi, showing a slightly sly smile.

"President Xu, since you are a businessman, you should know what price you have to pay if you want to get any benefits, right?"

Xu Yi smiled wryly, and spread his hands: "Your Majesty, I am here. You can kill me however you want, please feel free."

Lampari XIII laughed loudly: "Then I will not be polite."

###

When Xu Yi returned to the other courtyard, Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes were waiting here.

Seeing Xu Yi, both of them had weird expressions on their faces.

Although not many people saw what happened in the noble council in the morning, for the noble circle in Anvilmar City, no matter what happened in the noble council, it was no secret, let alone such an astonishing scene.

His Majesty the King actually took action himself, forcibly saving Xu Yi's title of Viscount from the noble council!

In the eyes of all the nobles in the city, the two king's decrees announced by Director Dema in public in the noble council are no different from two severe slaps in the face of the noble council.

Although the Lampari Kingdom had been founded for hundreds of years, there had been many times when the king and the aristocratic council had different opinions, and even had direct conflicts, but things like this one that directly reduced the face of the aristocratic council in public still rarely happened.

His Majesty the King simply told everyone clearly that no one is allowed to do anything to Xu Yi.

Before this, although many people knew that His Majesty the King attached great importance to Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they never thought that His Majesty the King would pay such attention to Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even mercilessly Cut the face of the noble council.

It was just this incident that immediately made Xu Yi the most eye-catching person in the aristocratic circle of the Lampari Kingdom, making countless people envious of him.

However, Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes looked at Xu Yi, but there was not much joy on their faces.

"Xu Yi, I actually think that you were actually used by His Majesty the King." Baron Haines shook his head and sighed: "Although it seems very prestigious to protect you from the noble council like this, it can also guarantee that any future No one dares to attack you lightly. But in this way, the guys from the noble council will definitely hate you, and will definitely trouble you again in the future."

Xu Yi smiled and said, "Do you think they wouldn't bother me without this matter? The resolution at the council this time wasn't decided suddenly."

Baron Haines thought for a while, then smiled and said: "That's true, most of the old men in the noble council are on the side of Prince Eric, and they want to deal with you for sure. His Majesty the King uses you, I guess I also want to take this opportunity to warn them."

"So, if you are used, use it. You must know that even if many people want to be used by His Majesty the King, they are not qualified to do so."

"You are very open-minded." Viscount Leslie couldn't help laughing. "I was worried that you would be hit because of this matter, and you would be disheartened because of disappointment. Now it seems that you have not been affected by the first reading, so I am relieved."

"It's not right to say that I'm not affected at all." Xu Yi shook his head and sighed softly: "At least I have recognized the fact through this incident, that whether I want to or not, I have already been branded Seweney The brand of Her Royal Highness. Just like you Leslie, no matter what you think in your heart, you will still be considered by everyone as a member of the Stark family."

Viscount Leslie smiled and shook his head: "Not only that, if I succeed in cooperating with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then everyone will definitely think that the position of the Stark family has changed. The chain reaction triggered by this will definitely be very interesting .”

Xu Yi and Baron Haines looked at him in surprise, and Baron Haines couldn't help but said, "Hey, Leslie, you didn't think you did this on purpose, did you?"

Viscount Leslie smiled but did not answer.

Xu Yi frowned and said, "Leslie, are you really going to do this, obviously against the family?"

"Why not?" Viscount Leslie shrugged. "If I didn't do these things before I was driven out of the house, wouldn't it be a waste of my status as the eldest son of the family?"

Seeing the self-deprecating smile on the corner of Viscount Leslie's mouth, Xu Yi and Baron Heiners looked at each other, and both could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They knew very well that once Viscount Leslie decided on something, he would never be easily changed by others.

And looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he has already planned to do this, so he will not be swayed by others.

But the problem is, even if he is the eldest son of the Stark family, confronting the entire Stark family in this way is still a dead end. (To be continued..)
