Chapter 65 The Wave of Opposition
King Eric squeezed his forehead hard, only to feel that his whole head was so painful that it was about to explode.
The reasons for this phenomenon were firstly because he had not been able to sleep well for several months, and secondly because of the huge pile of official documents in front of him.
Although these official documents seem to be many, they all say the same thing, that is, a bloody conflict that broke out in Bangta City before.
In a general sense, this bloody conflict was nothing more than an accident, and it didn't deserve too much attention, and it was impossible for him, His Majesty the King, to be troubled by it.
But the problem is that the meaning behind this bloody conflict is too complicated and too important, which has triggered the repercussions and even rebounds of a bunch of people in the entire Lampari Kingdom, which is why it is so serious.
On the surface, this bloody conflict was very simple. It was just that the guards of Bangta City lost their guard and killed a civilian while performing their mission.
Such things have happened many times in the history of the Lampari Kingdom ".s." In the past, the civilians were directly silenced, and at most some money could be settled.
However, as soon as this matter happened, it was immediately disclosed, and within a short period of time, it attracted the attention and reaction of almost everyone in the kingdom. The root cause of this bloody conflict was that these city guards were in order to enforce the regulations of the Banta City City Lord's Mansion, and to prevent a certain chamber of commerce in Bangta City from harvesting with farmland magic machines that were outside the regulations.
After the incident happened, almost all newspapers in the Lampari Kingdom reported it in detail, and even many newspapers made follow-up reports, clearly writing about the two parties in the conflict and the specific inside story. Let everyone know why this conflict happened.
And just know the reason. It caused a huge reaction from countless people in the kingdom.
Does the Banta City Lord's Mansion have the right to stipulate that a designated brand of farmland magic machinery must be used when harvesting farmland?
this problem. It is the core of all doubts.
In the eyes of most people, the primary goal of farmland harvesting is to complete the harvest smoothly and quickly, so as long as the grain in the field can be collected, it doesn't matter what brand of farmland magic machinery is used.
Moreover, there are only two brands of farmland magic machines in the entire Lampari Kingdom. One is the Xinfei brand, which was used by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce in this conflict. Because it was confiscated by the city guards, it caused bloodshed conflict.
The other is Hayata brand. It is not only the brand designated by Bangta City. It is also the brand recommended by the Magic Industry Administration for all cities in the kingdom. At the same time, Zaotian brand farmland magic machinery is also a brand designated by the Agricultural Department. Before the spring plowing this year, it has been promoted in many cities in the Kingdom of Lampari, and it is recommended for all cities to use.
Although neither the Commerce Department nor the Agriculture Department has mandated the use of Zaotian brand farmland magic machines like Bangta City, but since it is jointly recommended by the Commerce Department and the Agriculture Department, most cities in the kingdom still use the previously used Xinfei brand farmland. The magic machine was replaced by the Hayata brand.
Originally, this was nothing, but after the bloody conflict in Bangta City, a lot of opposing voices emerged one after another.
The reasons for the opposition are mainly concentrated on two points, one of which is whether it is the City Lord's Mansion. Whether it is the Magic Industry Administration, the Commerce Department, or even the Agriculture Department, they cannot mandate the use of certain commodities.
What people want to buy. Must be voluntary.
Mandatory, this violates the basic principles.
Another point is mainly focused on the quality of the Hayata farmland magic machinery.
According to the news conveyed by various newspapers in various cities, the quality of the Hayata brand farmland magic machinery is really not flattering.
The root cause of this bloody conflict in Bangta City was that the quality of the Hayada brand farmland magic machinery was too poor. More than half of the 20 Hayata small magic harvesters purchased by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce were broken. According to the regulations of Tacheng City Lord's Mansion, Xinfei brand farmland magic machines are used.
However, in order to enforce the regulations, the City Lord's Mansion clashed with the workers of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, which led to a tragedy.
If the quality of the Zaotian brand farmland magic machinery could be better, how could this kind of thing happen.
And apart from Bangta City, the performance of the Zaotian farmland magic machinery in other cities is also extremely poor.
Newspapers from all over the country broke the news that there were various problems in the use of the Hayada brand farmland magic machinery used locally, which made normal harvesting impossible.
In many cities, because of frequent problems with Zaotian brand farmland magic machines, they had to re-activate Xinfei brand farmland magic machines, and it was only in time for the end of spring plowing.
Otherwise, this year's spring plowing of the Lampari Kingdom's grain production might be greatly affected by this.
In most newspapers, the Hayata Chamber of Commerce was strongly condemned.
Countless people have questioned the Hayata Chamber of Commerce. Why did the Hayata Chamber of Commerce produce such poor-quality farmland magic machines even though they had obtained complete technology from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and received strong support from the Magic Industry Administration?
Not to mention comparing it with the Xinfei Farmland Magic Machinery, at least you should be able to use it normally, right? many words
However, some newspapers put forward another point of view.
It is an indisputable fact that the quality of Zaotian brand farmland magic machinery is too poor. Of course, these newspapers will not forcefully justify it. All the technology for producing farmland magic machinery was handed over to the Hayata Chamber of Commerce, which led to the poor quality of the Hayata brand farmland magic machinery.
At the beginning, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not hand over all the technology required by the Magic Industry Administration, but chose to interrupt the cooperation midway, leaving the Magic Industry Administration and the ten chambers of commerce represented by the Hayata Chamber of Commerce in a mess.
These ten chambers of commerce are now able to produce a complete magic machine, which is enough effort.
In order to support the continued development of these ten chambers of commerce, they will produce better and better magic machines in the future, so that people in the Kingdom of Lampari can get rid of the restrictions of the new flying brand magic machines. I hope everyone can give these ten chambers of commerce more patience. support them.
This point of view is naturally reviled by countless people.
It is obvious that the Magic Industry Administration wants to take away the big cake of the magic machinery market from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In the end, after snatching the technology by force, he couldn't do it well, and now he came to blame the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
This is clearly like being a bitch and setting up a torii!
And an article published in the "Lampari Weekly" pushed this anger against the ten chambers of commerce to the apex.
This article is an interview with Canby the dwarf, the chief magic mechanical engineer of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, by the "Lampari Weekly".
In the interview, Canby replied that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had completely transferred all relevant technologies to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration, and there was no concealment.
The reason why the quality of the magic machines they produce is far inferior to Xinfei brand magic machines is that, apart from the fact that the craftsmanship of these ten chambers of commerce is not as good as that of Xinfei chamber of commerce, there is another most important reason, that is, they cut corners in order to save costs.
Take the small Magic Harvester that caused major problems this time around. The Xinfei brand small magic harvester is made of special super-hard steel specially refined by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the price per ton exceeds two hundred gold coins.
However, the Hayata brand small magic power harvester uses low-quality steel refined by the Detroit Chamber of Commerce, which is also one of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration. It is far inferior to the special steel used in the Xinfei brand small magic harvester, and the price per ton is estimated to never exceed fifty gold coins.
The most common problem with the Hayata brand small magic harvester is the damage of parts, and the most serious fracture of the shaft is because the quality of the steel is too poor.
The report published in the "Lampari Weekly" listed a series of detailed data given by Canby, and compared the Xinfei brand small magic harvester with the Hayata brand small magic harvester in an all-round way.
Although the data is boring, it looks very clear.
In comparison, the Hayata small magic harvester can undoubtedly be regarded as a serious cut corner. Of course the quality can't be good.
As soon as this conclusion came out, apart from the occasional few newspapers questioning the data given by Camby. No one will ever say a good word for Hayata Shoyou again.
So just less than a month after the bloody conflict in Bangta City, a series of activities to boycott the Hayata Chamber of Commerce broke out in the Kingdom of Lampari. All cities in the kingdom announced that they would no longer use any farmland produced by the Hayata Chamber of Commerce. magic machinery.
After that, these activities developed into a boycott of any magical machinery produced by the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration.
In the eyes of everyone, it is also one of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration. If the magic machinery produced by the Hayata chamber of commerce is so bad, the magic machinery produced by the other chambers of commerce will only be equally bad.
And before that, there had been a lot of objections to the quality of magic machinery products produced by several other chambers of commerce in various parts of the kingdom, but now they just took advantage of this momentum to expand their influence.
The official documents now before King Eric are the official documents sent by the city lords' mansions of many cities in the kingdom, claiming to require the Magic Industry Administration to review the ten designated chambers of commerce, and strictly control the quality of the magic machines they produce. quality.
Otherwise, a large number of cities in the kingdom will directly refuse to import the magic machines produced by these chambers of commerce.
Among these official documents, there are some that are more direct.
For example, Earl Summer, the lord of Sewell City, declared directly in the official document that Sewell City would not accept the management of the Magic Industry Administration in the future, and would vigorously support the development of the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce in this city.
There are eleven other cities that made the same choice as Serwell City, accounting for almost one-third of the Lampari Kingdom.
If the other cities that submitted official documents are included, there is almost no city in the entire Kingdom of Lampari that still supports the Magic Industry Administration.
Glancing at the official documents in front of him, King Eric felt his head ache again. He couldn't help frowning deeply, cursed in a low voice, and then felt deeply helpless.
Although he is now His Majesty the Honorable King of the Lampari Kingdom in name, there are very few things he can actually control.
Not to mention changing the attitudes of these cities and the noble lords who also protested, even the Magical Industry Management Agency, the Commerce Department, and the Agriculture Department, which are subordinate to the Kingdom Council and should accept his command, he can't influence any of them.
"If Seweini was allowed to be the king, would she have the support of Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, would she be much better than me now?"
Hearing the familiar footsteps of Duke Stark outside the door, King Eric smiled wryly.
