Chapter 92 Collecting Resources

A red line is drawn from the Principality of Standing, crosses the Black Rice Wasteland, enters the Kingdom of Sark from the northwest of the Black Kai Wasteland, and then goes all the way north along the coast of the Endless Sea, passing through the Kingdom of Dolan in the north of the Kingdom of Sark and further north. The Cacedonian Kingdom, then turned to the east, passed through several small countries in the north of the mainland, and finally entered the Maro Empire, which occupied a large area on the map.

Xu Yi withdrew his hand from drawing the line on the big map, took two steps back, followed the red line with his eyes and walked again, and finally landed on the end of the red line, which is the capital of the Marlow Empire, Anglo City. He was satisfied. nod.

This red line is the overland commercial road that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce planned to connect the countries in the northern part of the mainland. Once it is actually completed, all kinds of products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can easily and quickly enter the northern part of the mainland through this land channel. In several countries, spread magic machines in these several countries.

At the same time, this land commercial road is another channel for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to connect to the Maro Empire. It is combined with another existing land channel that passes through the Kingdom of Lampari, the Principality of Drake, and the Kingdom of Falk, and finally enters the Maro Empire. , and the sea trade route on the endless sea that is still being explored, there are three complete cargo circulation channels, which can make the connection between Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and various countries in the north of the mainland and the Maro Empire closer.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi extended the red line entering the Maro Empire to the right on the map, drawing a dotted line that ran through several countries in the northeast of the Sains Continent, then turned south, and finally arrived at The Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom in the southeast corner of the Sainz continent, and then it happens to be connected with a blue sea route drawn from the Principality of Standing in the south and finally arrives at the southern port of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.

Such a complete trade route. It is a more distant plan.

If it can be achieved. It is equivalent to that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has successfully promoted the development of magic machines in every country on the Sainz continent. It is not far from achieving his ideal.

However, if you look closely, you will find that there is a huge gap in this ideal business route circle, and that is the Candela Empire.

So far, the Candela Empire has only built a road with a total mileage of less than 500 kilometers in the southwestern province. Not to mention being compared with the Duchy of Standing and the Kingdom of Lampari, which are now full of roads, even compared with Drake Small countries such as the Principality and the Principality of Mirando are also far behind.

Although the Candela Empire showed interest in building roads before, several months have passed, but there has been no actual implementation.

Chairman Cruise was originally looking forward to showing his talents in the Candela Empire. However, in the past few months, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce has never received an order from the Candela Empire for the construction of roads.

On the contrary, the Maro Empire is very active. It has already completed the initial planning of three roads with a total mileage of more than 2,000 kilometers, making the recent work of the Amley Chamber of Commerce completely focus on the Maro Empire.

As for the Candela Empire... just let it go.

However, this is not what Xu Yi wants to see.

The Candela Empire occupies a very large area, almost occupying more than half of the land from the middle to the south of the Sainz Continent. The Principality of Standing, where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is located, is located in the southwest corner of the Sainz Continent. If you want to go to other countries in the mainland, you must You have to go through the Kandela Empire.

However, the current cooperation attitude of the Candela Empire is very inactive, which seriously hinders Xu Yi's promotion plan.

For Xu Yi, this large blank area was like a thorn in his throat, no matter how he looked at it, it was uncomfortable.

"It would be great if there was no such thing as a magister who disrupted the balance in this world..." Xu Yi couldn't help thinking.

If it weren't for the scruples about the existence of the nine magisters of the Candela Empire. Xu also felt that with the current combat power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, it could easily crush the army of the Candela Empire.

But it is precisely because of the powerful existence of the magister, which the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can't do anything about for the time being. As a result, Xu Yi could only think of other ways to solve it.

"Forget it, we can only hope that the Kendela Empire won't be so stupid."

Xu Yi moved his eyes away from the Candela Empire, and turned to the endless sea, which was not shown much on the map, but in the real world, it was countless times larger than the Baines continent.

From the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing, three blue lines have been drawn at this time, one goes north, goes north along the coast, and finally circles to the north of the Maro Empire.

One goes south, bypasses the Principality of Standing, turns east, and finally arrives at the Commercial United Kingdom of Nozdormu in the southeast corner of the mainland.

The other one goes directly to the west, goes deep into the endless sea, and extends until it stops abruptly at the edge of the map.

This one represents the exploration that Xu Yi sent the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the endless sea to the west.

This fleet used each island as a base to explore the past. Although the speed is relatively slow, it is very stable. So far, it has penetrated into the endless sea more than 600 kilometers away from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. A huge sea area in the area of ​​Ding Duchy.

According to the exploration report sent back by this fleet, there are various mineral resources on many islands in this sea area, and combined with other types of marine resources, it is enough to be called rich in products.

If the sea area can be controlled well, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will have a very solid backing, and its resources will not always be controlled by others.

Thinking of resource issues, Xu Yi frowned slightly.

The Principality of Standing is small in size and its resources are extremely scarce, so most of the mineral resources and magic crystal resources needed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now come from neighboring countries.

Among them, because of the rapid development of the magic industry in the Lampari Kingdom, the demand for various mineral resources and magic crystals has also begun to increase significantly, so it is basically difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to obtain various resources from the Lampari Kingdom.

Now the main source of all kinds of resources needed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, apart from the Black Rice Wasteland, is the Kingdom of Rulson, and there are also a series of small countries such as the Duchy of Drake, the Duchy of Mirando, and the Duchy of Norton.

Recently, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also begun to obtain some mineral resources from the Sark Kingdom through transactions with the Sak Kingdom, which can meet the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, these countries are deeply influenced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the magic industry is also booming. In the future, the demand for resources will be as strong as that of the Lampari Kingdom. It is somewhat unrealistic to obtain mineral resources in this country.

The reason why Xu Yi sent the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to explore the endless sea was to plan ahead.

However, due to the limitation of technological level, it is obviously impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to exploit various resources in the sea as easily as in the region, and the cost of mining resources on those islands is much higher, which is not cost-effective.

Therefore, the most urgent problem facing Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now is to find new resource acquisition points.

It is obviously not enough to rely solely on these countries in the southwest corner of the mainland, so Xu Yi has already set his sights on further afield.

Ten days ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falk Kingdom signed a new agreement. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invested two million gold coins in the Falk Kingdom, built five household magic machinery factories, and assisted in the construction of four roads with a total mileage of 3,400. The 100-kilometer road has obtained 30-year mining rights for three iron mines, two non-ferrous metal mines, and five magic crystal mines in the Falk Kingdom.

Eight days ago, the returning Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transport fleet brought a delegation from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom. After two days of negotiations, they signed a new agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Nozdormu Business United Kingdom will help Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open a mineral resource center in China, and assist Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to acquire various mineral resources and magic crystal resources in several countries in the southeast corner of the Sainz continent.

The price paid by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is to transfer part of the household magic machinery technology to the Nozdormu Commerce United Kingdom, and cooperate with the Nozdormu Commerce United Kingdom to establish a household magic machinery production base in the kingdom. The Chamber of Commerce will comprehensively improve road conditions within the Merchant United Kingdom of Nozdormu.

In addition, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also sell military magic machinery worth 500,000 gold coins to the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, and help 13 chambers of commerce in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to protect the chambers of commerce under their own name. The team completes the relevant training to ensure that they master the use of these military magic machines.

Through the several trades between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom over the past year, it has not only gained a very high reputation in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, but also in the southeastern countries of the Sains Continent. also has a very good reputation.

Regardless of household magic machines, all kinds of farmland magic machines and engineering magic machines are very popular in the southeastern countries.

In just the past ten months of this year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transported more than 70,000 farmland magic machines to the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom and surrounding countries through large cargo magic ships, with a total price of more than 8 million gold coins.

Relying on the desire of these countries for these magical machines, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's plan to exchange mineral resources from them went very smoothly.

There were even three small countries that contacted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and offered their various domestic mineral resources after receiving the news, in order to obtain enough farmland magic machinery and supporting farmland farming systems and fertilizers from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After all, apart from these countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz Continent, the entire Sainz Continent has been worrying about feeding its people.

Now that they know that there is a way to greatly increase their domestic food production, they are not rushing to it.

Therefore, Xu Yi is very relieved about these countries that are far away in the southeast corner of the Sainz continent.

What worries him now is the country closest to the Principality of Standing. (To be continued..)
