Chapter 104 The Crusk Kingdom Powerless to Resist

The delegation of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom stayed in the Principality of Standing for half a month. ,

During this period, they not only inspected the Principality of Standing, but also had a lot of contact with many chambers of commerce in neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Ruhrsun.

In just half a month, as many as 16 chambers of commerce from surrounding countries have confirmed their intention to invest in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, and more than 30 chambers of commerce have expressed the same interest. .

Such a result satisfied the delegation of Nozdormu Business United Kingdom, saying that the trip was very fruitful.

Of course, everyone understands that if it wasn't for the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, which enabled the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to have the ability to transport personnel and materials to places more than 5,000 kilometers away, such cooperation would have been impossible. .

It should be said that this kind of cooperation is extremely beneficial to both parties.

Because the distance is too far, the two sides had almost no communication before this, so through this contact, both sides found that each other has many resources that they could only dream of.

If this cooperation goes well, both parties will benefit a lot from it.

For example, the Principality of Standing produces a large amount of high-end, rainforest-specific wood, while the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdormu has many swamps. In addition to producing many rare plants and trees, which can be used to extract many precious medicinal and magic materials, It also produces a variety of rare animals, which also contain extremely strong value.

It is precisely because the large number of special products brought by the delegation of Nozdormu Business United Kingdom attracted the attention of many chambers of commerce that they finally made up their minds to cooperate with Nozdormu Business United Kingdom.

And in all related collaborations, the focus of everyone's attention. Of course, it is a cooperation between Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.

According to the message brought by the Nozdormu Business United Kingdom delegation. The Merchant United Kingdom of Nozdormu has fully completed two deep-water ports for large magic ships. This also means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can easily transport large quantities of supplies and related personnel to the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.

So within half a month, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also reached a number of agreements with the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.

According to the content of the agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will first invest in the construction of a steelmaking plant, a fertilizer processing plant, and a farmland magic machinery processing plant in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom. First, it will help the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to solve the most basic food Production problems.

After that, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will establish a small production base for household magic machinery in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.

However, this production base is not entirely owned by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce independently, but is jointly invested and built by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other 17 small household magic machinery chambers in the Kingdom of Lampari.

Among them, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only provides one organization name. Not only is there no specific production, but even Xinfei brand household magic machines are only sold in small quantities.

This approach is actually equivalent to completely handing over the market of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to other chambers of commerce.

Correspondingly, the other seventeen Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce promised to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to strictly abide by the various standards related to household magic machinery specified by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, these seventeen chambers of commerce have to undertake the infrastructure construction work of assisting the Amly Chamber of Commerce in Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom in terms of road paving and other aspects, and help Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to carry out related infrastructure transformation.

And this point is actually the most important reason why Xinfei Merchant would give up the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, a market it had opened up by itself.

Quite simply, it is understaffed.

Although there are still many noble lords in the Lampari Kingdom who use their slaves to exchange steelmaking technology with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the number of noble lords in the Lampari Kingdom is limited. The aristocratic lords who are willing to exchange slaves for technology are even more limited, so except for the initial stage, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce accepted a large number of slaves. Since then, there have been fewer and fewer, and recently there has been none.

This caused Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's manpower growth to stagnate again, forcing Xu Yi to abandon many plans that required a lot of manpower investment.

Originally, he planned to build a complete sub-base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, trying to bring the entire Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom under his control, and based on this sub-base, the new The influence of the Flying Chamber of Commerce expanded, eventually affecting the entire southeast corner of the Sainz continent.

However, the problem of insufficient manpower limited his idea, so he had to take the initiative to give up the market of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, so as to cooperate with other magic machinery guilds to jointly create this plan.

In Xu Yi's mind now, the problem of lack of manpower has become the biggest problem that bothers him the most.

He has countless development plans for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but they are always limited by manpower and have to be postponed, which makes him always feel helpless and helpless.

However, the Principality of Standing is only a small country after all, and the total population of the entire Principality is only less than one million people, of which the available labor force is only less than 400,000.

Of course, it is impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to get all the 400,000 people into its own hands, because after all, there will be a lot of labor left to do other necessary work.

In addition, the labor force in the Principality of Standing is generally not well educated, and the overall quality is far inferior to the manpower recruited in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Rulson, so it is not very helpful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now all the employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce add up to more than 150,000, but less than half of them are from the Principality of Standing, the remaining half are mainly from the Kingdom of Lampari, a small part is from the Kingdom of Rulson, and the rest are from various countries. employees of different races.

It is of course impossible to instantly increase the population of the Principality of Standing, so in order to increase the available labor force, Xu Yi imitated the vocational skills training academies previously built in the city of Bangta, and opened a large number of vocational skills training academies in the Principality of Standing .

Different from the vocational skills training academy in Bangta City, these vocational skills training academies in the Duchy of Standing are completely free, and the only requirement for the students is that they must enter the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to work after they complete their studies.

Such a condition is actually not a restriction for most people, but a temptation, because entering the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is what many people dream of.

Therefore, after the opening of these vocational skills training institutes, not only countless people in the Principality of Standing signed up enthusiastically, but also many people from the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Rulson, and the Dukedom of Drake, the Dukedom of Mirando, and even the Dukedom of Norton. After hearing the news, he came all the way to receive training.

In the first phase of these vocational skills training institutes this year, more than 30,000 people participated in the registration.

I believe that as long as they are given another two or three years, when all these students graduate, they will be able to greatly alleviate the personnel problems of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But before that, Xu Yi still had to continue to worry about the manpower problem.

But at this moment, an unexpected situation happened, which gave Xu Yi a glimmer of hope.

After staying in the Principality of Standing for half a month, the Nozdormu Business United Kingdom delegation, together with the newly departed Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transport fleet and a group of inspection representatives sent by the Chamber of Commerce, set off with a large amount of preliminary construction materials. Standing Duchy, return to Nozdormu Merchant United Kingdom.

After they left, Xu Yi immediately ordered the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to launch an attack on the Crusk Kingdom.

As Hart said, this so-called Crusk Kingdom is actually nothing more than a large pirate group assembled by a group of pirate groups, which is completely different from the real country.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's attack on the Crusk Kingdom was nothing more than a group of pirates.

As for the fighting power of these pirates...

It may be slightly stronger than the pirates that Leslie encountered in the southern waters of the Luerson Kingdom and the southern seas of the Candela Empire, but it is undoubtedly not enough when facing the powerful escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi didn't care much about the specific battle process, because he knew very well that with the frigates far beyond this era and the powerful firepower provided by a variety of military magic machines, it was absolutely impossible for the frigates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to fight in the entire endless sea. There is nothing worthy of rivalry.

And the fact is just as he expected.

From the beginning of the operation, the news from the front was all good news.

The Second Fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet led by Hart himself was invincible in the endless sea, and easily defeated all the sea power of the Krusk Kingdom.

Among the news that Xu Yi received, apart from all the changes in the number of ships sunk every day, there was basically one piece of news repeated every day-the escort fleet had won again.

In less than twenty days after the operation was launched, the Second Fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet under the command of Hart went around almost every island within the territory of the Crusk Kingdom without encountering any real obstacles.

Among them, all the sea-going ships of all the pirate regiments under the Crusk Kingdom did not even touch the side of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Twenty days later, the Second Fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort fleet did not encounter any resistance. The marines successfully landed on the Krusk Island, which is known as the capital of the Krusk Kingdom, and captured Krusk with ease. The Crusk Palace on the island, and captured the current king of the Crusk Kingdom alive.

Xu Yi was not surprised by the result of this battle. His only concern was why the so-called Crusk Kingdom would seek death by itself and suddenly came to attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet.

However, among the news sent back by Hart, there was a message that caught his attention.

The captured King Krusk stated that the Kingdom of Krusk was originally formed by a group of slaves who were tortured by noble lords and exiled overseas.

Now that they are captured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as Xu Yi is willing to bypass the lives of all the people in the Crusk Kingdom, they are willing to resume their slave status and belong to the lord Xu Yi. (To be continued..)
