Two hours later, Xu Yi led Sancheli back to the office.
Supervisor Ram couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw Sancheli following Xu Yi, who was no different from a beggar. However, he was so sophisticated that he naturally didn't ask any questions. According to Xu Yi's arrangement, he asked the servants to take Sancheli to take a bath. After changing clothes, he came to Xu Yi and said seriously: "President Xu, His Majesty the King's bodyguard just sent someone to inform that His Majesty the King will summon him at five o'clock the day after tomorrow. You'd better arrange the time and inform him in advance. Wait here and someone will come to take you into the palace."
"The day after tomorrow in the afternoon? It's pretty fast." Xu Yi nodded. "I thought His Majesty the King was so busy with things that he would have to leave me alone for at least a few days before he thought of summoning me."
Director Ram immediately smiled and said: "President Xu, you are looking down on yourself. The person who just came to inform is the secretary directly under His Majesty the King. He sent him to inform you, which means that His Majesty the King attaches great importance to this summons. I also asked the clerk, and he said that since His Majesty has arranged to see you at five o'clock in the afternoon, it is very likely that he will invite you to dinner. This is a rare honor, so you must be prepared. Prepare."
"Oh? Does His Majesty the King really value me so much? That really flatters me." Xu Yi laughed, then frowned. "If that's the case, what's going on with the Department of Agriculture? His Majesty the King values me so much, but the Department of Agriculture treats me so lightly. Isn't it a bit strange?"
"This..." Director Ram looked around, suddenly leaned into Xu Yi's ear, and said in a very low voice: "President Xu, the current director of the Agriculture Department is the Marquis Sethek, and he and Viscount Leslie's father Duke Stagg has always had political disagreements..."
Although it was just a simple reminder, Xu Yi immediately understood the meaning of Supervisor Ram's words.
However, he understood it, but Xu Yi still smiled helplessly.
In fact, he just wants to study magic machines and continue to promote these magic machines to improve people's lives. But now he has been forced to get involved in the struggle of these big shots without doing anything. It was really not what he wanted.
But this is also something Xu Yi had expected.
Not to mention that in this world where aristocrats still hold absolute power, even in an earth that claims to have achieved democracy and equality, it is impossible for businessmen to have nothing to do with politics at all.
Not to mention that like the most powerful country on earth, politics simply serves those big businessmen.
"If you say that, wouldn't it mean that I won't get support from the Agriculture Department?" Xu Yi frowned.
Although Xu Yi's plan to promote farmland magic machinery can be implemented as long as he can get the support of His Majesty the King, the specific person to do this must be the Kingdom's Agriculture Department. If the Agriculture Department has various objections to Xu Yi's plan due to political reasons If it is obstructed, it will be much more troublesome.
"President Xu, you don't have to worry about this. The Agriculture Department is the most important department in the kingdom, and Marquis Sethek alone doesn't have the final say." Director Ram consoled him.
Xu Yi thought for a while and could only shrug: "I hope so."
Just as he was about to explain some things to Director Ram, a servant suddenly ran over in a hurry.
"My lord, there are two officials claiming to be from the Department of Agriculture asking to see Chairman Xu!"
Director Ram and Xu were stunned at the same time.
Aren't there already officials from the Department of Agriculture here? Why did two more appear suddenly
Five minutes later, Xu Yi saw the two officials from the Agriculture Department in the living room.
The uniforms worn by these two people were actually exactly the same as the four officials from the Department of Agriculture before, except that the badges on their chests were slightly different.
The two officials, a man and a woman, both looked extremely young. The male one is only in his thirties, and the female one is only in her early twenties, far from the bad old man who was over fifty like Lord Fisher before.
Very different from Lord Fisher's condescending attitude, these two people seemed extremely gentle and friendly. As soon as they saw Xu Yi, the male official smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Xu Yi.
"President Xu Yixu, right? I am Harvey, and I have heard of your name for a long time. Now that I finally see you in person, I am really excited."
Xu Yi stretched out his hand and shook his hand in confusion: "Do you know me?"
Harvey laughed: "Of course. I have conducted in-depth research on the farmer support plan proposed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I have to say, President Xu, your plan is really a stroke of genius. Not only can it help ordinary farmers become self-reliant, It has also effectively spread the farmland magic machinery produced by your chamber of commerce in Bangta City, thus greatly increasing the utilization rate of farmland in Bangta City. The harvest will definitely increase significantly. As an official of the Agriculture Department, I am extremely happy about this. If the experience of Bangta City can be spread throughout the kingdom, the food income in the kingdom will be greatly increased, which will solve the problem for our country. A big problem for the Pali Kingdom! Therefore, our Agriculture Department pays great attention to Chairman Xu and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and submitted the research report to His Majesty the King immediately. His Majesty the King also attaches great importance to this. That’s why I decided to summon you.”
Xu Yi glanced at him in surprise: "You said your Agriculture Department attaches great importance to it? Why can't I see it?"
Harvey was slightly startled. He smelled a strange smell from Xu Yi's words.
"Why do you say that?"
Xu Yi glanced at Supervisor Ram beside him, paused, and continued: "Before you, that is, this morning, four officials from the Agriculture Department came to visit, and their attitude towards me was not very good. He was also unfriendly and asked me to hand over the six farm magic machines I brought this time."
"Have officials from the Department of Agriculture been here?" Harvey was suddenly stunned. He turned around and exchanged looks with the female official who had been silent. Then he turned to Xu Yi and asked solemnly: "President Xu, who is the leader?"
"He calls himself Lord Fisher." Xu Yidao.
"Lord Fisher?" Harvey nodded slightly, but didn't say much. He pondered for a moment and said seriously: "President Xu, I think I need to explain to you. Our Agriculture Department is responsible for many aspects of management, and this The first contact with you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as well as the possible cooperation in the future, are now fully responsible for the Kingdom's Farmland Reform Committee under our Agriculture Department. Currently, this committee only consists of me and her," Harvey pointed out. He pointed at the female official beside him. "Lord Fisher is indeed an official of the Agriculture Department, but he is not responsible for these things, so you can ignore it."
Xu Yi frowned: "You two are the only ones responsible? Then how should I trust you?"
Harvey thought for a while and showed a wry smile: "This is because we didn't think carefully. But President Xu, I think you will know the answer after you meet His Majesty the King."
Xu Yi spread his hands: "Well, wait until I see His Majesty the King and then come and talk to your Agriculture Department. Now I don't know who to believe."
"This... President Xu, actually before you meet with His Majesty the King, we want to actually observe the operation of the six farm magic machines you brought, and summarize a report to submit to His Majesty the King. So I hope you can cooperate. Let's take the six magic machines with us to the outside of the city for a live demonstration," Harvey said.
"Why should I trust you?" Xu Yi stared at Ha Weiwei: "What if you, like that Lord Fisher, just want to confiscate these machines of mine?"
Harvey was dumbfounded: "President Xu, don't you..."
"If the Department of Agriculture really wants you to hand over these six magic machines, will you hand it over?" The female official who had been silent suddenly spoke up and planned what Harvey would say.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Harvey shut his mouth.
Seeing this situation, Xu Yi immediately understood that Harvey seemed to be the leader of the two, but in fact he was afraid that the real person in control should be this younger female official.
In fact, she seems a bit old-fashioned to say that she is an official. In fact, she looks like she is in her early twenties. Although she does not look as stunning as Steele, her facial features are very soft, with almost perfect proportions and fine details. If you look closely, you will involuntarily feel a sense of intimacy towards her.
But her temperament always reveals strong self-confidence and nobility. She obviously comes from an extraordinary background and has received a good education since she was a child.
I'm afraid even an ordinary aristocratic family can't cultivate such an outstanding girl, and at least she should be from a big aristocratic family.
No wonder Harvey said that this farmland reform committee only consists of him and this girl.
Harvey already looks very extraordinary. This girl's background is probably even more powerful. The backer behind her might be His Majesty the King himself, which is why they are so dismissive of Lord Fisher.
"If the Agriculture Department has a legitimate reason, for example, if it wants to study the operation of these six machines and how they can improve agricultural production efficiency, then I can choose to hand it over. But if there is no such thing as Lord Fisher, You ask me to hand it over arbitrarily and without reason, so please forgive me for not complying." Xu Yi answered honestly.
The girl nodded slightly: "Of course you don't need to comply with such an unreasonable request. But President Xu, now we just hope that you can use those six magic machines to give us a demonstration so that we can observe those magic machines on the spot. The operation of those magic machines can make it easier for His Majesty the King to understand the functions of those magic machines. I think you won’t refuse, right? I think since you have brought those magic machines from Bangta City, you certainly don’t want them to stay there forever. In the warehouse, there is no way to show their true function. "
Xu Yi looked at the girl thoughtfully, but the other girl's eyes didn't dodge at all. She looked directly at Xu Yi with clear eyes and no hint of guilt.
"Your eyes are so beautiful." Xu Yi suddenly smiled and praised, then stood up suddenly. "Okay, I choose to believe you. But I also need to remind you in advance, don't be frightened by their powerful functions."
