Chapter 79

Facts have proved that what happened to the three of Khafre in Lalu City is not a special case.

After the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire signed a new mutual trade agreement, Khafre was certainly far from the only businessman who could see business opportunities from it.

In the past few months, a large number of merchants from the Lampari Kingdom have poured into the Candela Empire with a large number of goods from the Lampari Kingdom.

Relying on these useful and cheap goods in the Lampari Kingdom, these merchants all made a lot of money in the Candela Empire.

Originally, this situation would continue as a matter of course, but since the beginning of May, more than a dozen businessmen from the Lampari Kingdom have been arrested, confiscated and deported in the southern provinces of the Candela Empire. Many people's attention.

Although the officials in the southern provinces gave an explanation for the more than ten incidents, these merchants from the Kingdom of Lampari violated some management regulations of the Candela Empire, and even directly violated the laws of the empire. There are various evidences to prove this.

But people with a discerning eye can easily see that the southern provinces are clearly targeting these merchants from the Kingdom of Lampari on purpose.

Because the same situation against merchants of the Lampari Kingdom happened occasionally in other parts of the Candela Empire, but it was not as continuous and dense as in the southern provinces.

Moreover, these incidents clearly carry the shadow of the officials of the southern provinces, making it difficult to think that this is intentional targeting.

But the question is, why did the southern provinces deliberately target the merchants of the Lampari Kingdom so deliberately?

This question is something that the Kingdom of Lampari wanted to clarify very much, and Queen Seweni even simply revised a letter and sent it directly to the Commerce Department of the Candela Empire. Ask them to give an explanation.

However, this letter received a response from the Candela Empire. But there was only a letter from Marquis Descartes, Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire.

in reply. The Marquis of Descartes said that what happened in the southern province was just an accident and did not represent the attitude of the Candela Empire, so I hope that the Lampari Kingdom will not be too nervous, and the Candela Empire is still willing to trade with the Lampari Kingdom. ...

Although the meaning of Marquis Descartes' letter seems to be correct, his tone of heart and attitude revealed a clear indifference.

In the final analysis, for the Kingdom of Lampari, Her Majesty Seweni, the Queen, personally wrote a letter to question. Although the Candela Empire does not necessarily require His Majesty the Emperor to reply to the letter in person, it should at least allow someone with more weight to respond.

And at least the Candela Empire has to give a reasonable explanation for this, instead of being so relaxed and indifferent as expressed in the letter from Marquis Descartes.

This does not show even the slightest sincerity to solve the problem.

"Ha, do you think the Candela Empire really treats your Lampari Kingdom as an equal? ​​Obviously, they just don't want to make more enemies in the previous situation. But now when they find that Lu Erxun After the kingdom is still unable to pose a threat to itself, this sense of superiority belonging to the great empire inevitably emerges."

"Tell it as if this has nothing to do with you." Seweini rolled Xu Yi's eyes angrily. "Since the Candela Empire will specifically target the merchants of our Lampari Kingdom, of course it will also target your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Do you really think you can still be so relaxed?"

"Of course, why not?" Xu Yi shrugged. "To tell you the truth, there is actually one thing that the Candela Empire did not say wrong. This time, the action against the merchants of your Lampari Kingdom. If there is no accident, it should be entirely from the arbitrary and arbitrary actions of the southern province of the Candela Empire, not the entire Candela Empire. the meaning of."

"Why are you so sure?" Seweini looked at Xu Yi suspiciously.

"Because...cough...the governor of this southern province is the Duke of Windsor. And he...has some personal enmity with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is not surprising that he will deliberately target the merchants of your Lampari Kingdom, because you merchants brought them over. , most of them are magical machines and related things." Xu Yi replied.

"You have a personal enmity with the Duke of Windsor?" Sevini looked in disbelief. "Your chamber of commerce has never entered the Candela Empire at all, so how could you have an enmity with the governor of the southern province?"

"It's a long story..." Xu Yi smiled helplessly, thinking that it's not that we want to make a vendetta, but that the other party took the initiative to come to the door to make a vendetta, no wonder we are.

"Okay, let's get back to business. Sevini, I suggested to you before that you should let the Lampari Kingdom officials come forward and organize these Lampari Kingdom merchants who went to the Candela Empire to do business. This will allow them to have a unified command, not only convenient for them to help each other, but also very helpful for your Lampari Kingdom to strengthen the management of these merchants, but it is a pity that you refused at the time."

"Well... At that time, I was just worried that many of these merchants had the support of nobles in the kingdom behind them. If I stepped forward, it would probably arouse the vigilance of these nobles in the kingdom, which would be bad. Looking at it now But these nobles can't even handle these simple things well, which really disappoints me." Sevigny sighed softly.

"You can't blame them all." Xu Yi shook his head. "Lampari Kingdom has regulations that prevent nobles from doing business directly, so it is not easy for them to directly use their power. Besides, they are just some nobles after all, and cannot represent the Lampari Kingdom. When encountering such a thing, do you still expect Can they compete against the Kendela Empire?"

"Indeed...it was my negligence." Seweney nodded honestly. "Then Xu Yi, what do you mean..."

"Our Chamber of Commerce has formally reached a cooperation agreement with Prince Frank, and plans to enter the Candela Empire next month and open a magic locomotive factory on Prince Frank's private territory. I want to follow the previous model on the private territory of Marquis Southgate , once again invite the major chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari to invest and build factories with our chamber of commerce." Xu Yi said seriously. "However, those who can go together with our Chamber of Commerce can only be the Chamber of Commerce officially recognized by the Kingdom of Lampari."

Sevini's expression changed. There was a trace of tenderness in the eyes looking at Xu Yi.

"Xu Yi. Thank you for helping me."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not just here to help you. The situation in the Candela Empire is much more complicated than that in the Maro Empire. I don't want to run over with a group of stragglers with different ideas. It will only cause trouble for myself." Xu Yi waved waved his hands.

"Really?" Sevini smiled slightly, but did not continue to ask, but thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will review these chambers of commerce for you. By the way, the thirteen chambers of commerce that were specially selected before Now there are arrangements. Do you want to include them? After all, they have some roots in the Candela Empire."

"Yes. They were originally in my plan, and what they could do in the past may have been more than other chambers of commerce." Xu Yi showed a slightly sly smile.

"Well, let's make sure this matter first." Servini paused, and then asked suddenly: "By the way...Xu Yi, you just said that your chamber of commerce has a personal enmity with the governor of the southern province of the Candela Empire, and then I I’m sure that because of the affairs of the Luerson Kingdom, many people in the Candela Empire will be very dissatisfied and even full of hostility towards your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Are you sure that under such circumstances, can you successfully open up the situation in the Candela Empire? "

"You have to figure it out." The smile on Xu Yi's face became full of confidence, even a hint of arrogance. "This time. The Candela Empire begged our Chamber of Commerce to go, not us begging them."

Speaking of this, Xu Yi suddenly laughed as if he thought of something funny.

"Hey, Sevini, I was comparing the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire in my mind just now, and suddenly I felt that the Candela Empire was really stupid. Originally, this time they suddenly announced that they would establish a cooperative relationship with your Lampari Kingdom. I thought it was They made a clever move. But I didn't expect that in just a few months, they would actually start to suppress the merchants of your Lampari Kingdom. How can I say this... Is this the legendary If you don’t do it, you won’t die?”

Sevini looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, wondering why this guy is always so confident when facing the Candela Empire, and even...full of superiority?

In his eyes, this huge empire didn't seem to be worth paying attention to at all.

This is really strange.

Because Xu Yi's attitude towards the Maro Empire, which is also one of the two major empires in the mainland, is obviously different.

Thinking of this, Seweini suddenly thought of a question.

"By the way, Xu Yi, the military representatives of the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire appeared at the main base of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the same time, and they seemed to have met each other. How did you deal with it?"

"It's not much to deal with. They went back to their respective homes and did what they should do."

"You know that's not what I'm asking." Seweini showed a rare coquettish expression, and glared at Xu Yi. "I'm asking you about the follow-up, how will you deal with the follow-up?"

"Follow-up... We have signed an agreement with the Maro Empire military department, and will sell to the Maro Empire 50,000 magic crossbows, 3,000 individual magic rocket launchers, 2,000 large cargo magic locomotives, and five magic power ships. Airship. As for the Candela Empire, for the time being, there are as many as I told you just now."

"The Maro Empire is really a big deal." Seweini couldn't help being speechless, but soon realized something was wrong. "Wait! Five magic airships? Xu Yi, you haven't delivered all of our one hundred magic airships yet!"

Xu Yi chuckled: "Anyway, there are still dozens of ships missing from you, so it's okay to deduct five from them to open the eyes of those guys in the Marlow Empire..."

"You!" Seweini raised her eyebrows beautifully, as if she wanted to be angry, but then laughed again. "Well, you must pay me compensation!"

Xu Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that Seweini had become more and more cunning since he ascended the throne.

"Okay, Your Majesty the Queen, please state your request. As long as I can do it, I promise that I will never refuse."

"Really?" Sevini narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were bent into crescent moons. (To be continued..)
