At least in the two or three months after the two empires signed the armistice agreement, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce seemed to have done nothing at first glance.
Although with the end of the war, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been actively restoring and rebuilding the major institutions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in various places that were closed or even seriously damaged due to the impact of the war, these things are in the eyes of most people. Come on, they are just trivial things, not important at all.
No one would believe that Xinfeishang would take such a big risk and go to war with the two empires, and then after winning the victory, he would just restore everything to the original state.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really did nothing and was still recovering step by step according to its own plan.
However, people can easily find that these strongholds restored and rebuilt by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce obviously reflect a much more important status than before.
Not to mention that in many small countries, even in huge empires such as the Candela Empire and the Malo Empire, any organization of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will receive various care and benefits from local officials. In many cases, they will even receive better treatment than The chambers of commerce in the two empires' own countries are even better.
This is of course the benefit that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has gained through this war, but in the eyes of many people, this is still far from enough.
You see, both the Lampali Kingdom and the Drac Principality have gained large areas of valuable territory and have stabilized the situation.
Although the Kingdom of Luersun did not obtain a large area of territory, it also included the territory that originally belonged to the Principality of Norton. In addition, it also received huge war compensation from the Candela Empire totaling more than 200 million gold coins, as well as other Benefits of immeasurable magnitude.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce and theoretically should not have territorial aspirations, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the undoubted protagonist in this war, whether it is the Kingdom of Lampali, the Principality of Drake or the Kingdom of Luersun , the main reason why they were able to defeat the two empires was the support of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Since this is the case, then Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should get the maximum benefit.
Therefore, many people are very puzzled that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has done nothing for such a long time, because this is completely contrary to common sense.
"Is it really difficult to understand?" Xu Yi shrugged and showed a relaxed smile. "For our Chamber of Commerce, it is in the greatest interest to return everything to normal. You see, because of this war, our Chamber of Commerce has invested a total of nearly 300 million in huge funds. This does not include the nearly two Within a year, the huge profits lost due to the war have been severely affected, which is at least more than 200 million gold coins, so it is our greatest interest to restore everything to an orderly state. "
Sevini frowned slightly, stared at Xu Yi for a while, and sighed softly. Shaked his head.
"I believe this is your true idea. But Xu Yi, I'm afraid this is not the wish of everyone in your chamber of commerce. So you said that your chamber of commerce really doesn't intend to get any benefits from it, but I won't even believe it with a finger. Oh.”
"If you don't believe it, don't believe it. Do you still expect me to explain it one by one?" Xu Yi smiled and decided to put aside the problem. "When it comes to gaining profits, on the surface, most people would think that your Kingdom of Lampali is the one that benefits the most. So as Her Majesty the Queen of Lampali Kingdom, what do you think?"
Sevini showed a wry smile: "Okay, don't make fun of me. You don't know how busy I am recently? Being able to see you today is the time that I have tried my best to spare."
"So I'm disturbing you?" Xu Yi laughed. He made a move to turn around and leave, but Sevini rushed up and grabbed him.
"Stop joking," Sevigny scolded. "You should know very well what I want to discuss with you."
Seeing the fatigue that could not be hidden in Sevini's expression, Xu Yi sighed, nodded and said: "Okay, no more joking. Sevini, you should be worried about how to digest the huge amount of money obtained from the Sac Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom. Territory, right?”
"To be precise, how to digest the large number of people in these territories." Sevini frowned deeply. "Although it is a good thing to acquire a large amount of territory, and even make countless people in the country call me the greatest king in history, but no one among these guys knows that they want to turn the people in these territories into our Lampali Kingdom. How difficult it is for the people.”
"I don't think it's that difficult." Xu Yi said with a relaxed smile. "To be honest, I have conducted on-the-spot investigations in countless countries on the Sainz continent and found a characteristic that all countries have. That is, no matter which country the people are in, they actually have no sense of belonging and so-called loyalty to this country. heart of."
Sevini blinked and stared at Xu Yi for a while, with a strange look on his face.
"Isn't this a matter of course? You didn't just discover it now, did you?"
Xu Yi suddenly felt suffocated.
He thought this was an extremely sharp and profound conclusion that he had finally come to after observing for so many years. But I didn't expect Sevini to say "of course".
"Hey, as a king, do you actually think that it is natural for your people not to be loyal to you?"
"Of course. The people will only be loyal to their own noble territories, and there is no point in showing loyalty to the country. Why do you do this?"
Only then did Xu Yi understand that Sevigny had confused what he called the "loyal heart" with the "pledge of allegiance to territory" popular on Sainz continent.
But seriously. Sevigny was right.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this cultural tradition on the Sainz continent that the people on this continent have little loyalty to the country.
When Xu Yi studied the history of Sainz Continent, he discovered that under the rule of humans for three thousand years, Sainz Continent has undergone countless national historical changes, which has led to countless wars, but there has never been a war dominated by ordinary people. civilian.
Strictly speaking, the rise and fall of countries on the Sainz continent seems to have nothing to do with ordinary civilians, and is completely a game between nobles.
If this has always been the case, how can civilians have any sense of belonging and loyalty to the country
However, this also has the advantage that when a country occupies the territory of another country, it does not need to spend too much effort to change their minds and make them identify with the new country again.
"So this is not a very simple matter. You just need to allow the new people to live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone has food to eat, a house to live in, and clothes to wear. I don't think any of these civilians will cause trouble for you. "Xu Yi said with an indifferent expression.
"It's easy for you to say." Sevini glared at Xu Yi. "If nothing else, it will be difficult just to keep everyone fed, okay?"
"Is this difficult?" Xu Yi was a little confused. "Take out your previous experience in promoting the farmland magic mechanical farming model. Just promote it as it is. These things were also very popular in the Sark Kingdom and the Frank Kingdom before. There is no reason for them to be ruled by your Lampali Kingdom. It won’t work anymore.”
"That's the problem." Sevigny shook his head. "In the past, it was just your New Flying Chamber of Commerce that sold farmland magic machinery to the Sark Kingdom and the Frank Kingdom. They could only get what you sold to them. Even if the farmland magic machinery you sold to them was of a lower level than ours in the Lampali Kingdom. It’s okay if the models are older and the functions are poorer. Even if they have any complaints, they are for your new business association.”
"And now they have become the subjects of the Lampali Kingdom, so they demand the same treatment as other people of the Lampali Kingdom, and the same model of farmland magic machinery?" Xu Yi took over and asked. road.
"This is just one of them. In addition to farm magic machinery, the people in the new territory also require the supply of chemical fertilizers, preferential treatment for household magic machinery, equal follow-up maintenance and other service policies..." Sevini spread his hands. "I really want to agree to these things, but they won't believe that I don't care if I say it."
Seeing the helpless look on Sevini's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"So now you want to get these things from me that can give you the final say?"
"Yes." Sevigny nodded generously in acknowledgement.
Having known Xu Yi for so long, she knew very well the way she should approach talking to Xu Yi.
Many times, you would prefer something more direct.
"Hmm... So what do you want specifically?" Xu Yi asked again.
Sevini turned around and took out a document that had obviously been prepared long ago from the table and handed it to Xu Yi.
"It's all up here."
Xu Yi took the document. He glanced at it casually and opened his mouth in surprise.
"Oh, Sevini, you have a big appetite. You actually want to take so many things from me in one go? Not to mention anything else, you actually want the forging technology of the magic machine tool. You should know that these technologies belong to us. The Chamber of Commerce has never transferred it.”
"It has never been transferred, which does not mean that it will not be transferred in the future." Sevigny said seriously. "Xu Yi, your ideal is to spread the magic industrial industry throughout the Sainz Continent, so these magic machine tool technologies cannot always be exclusive to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, other countries and chambers of commerce on the continent will always only Being able to manufacture some of the simplest household magic machines is not the development of a magic industry at all. Therefore, other than household magic machine manufacturing, you will have to transfer it sooner or later. "
"What you said makes sense." Xu Yi chuckled and nodded. "But why do you think that your Lampali Kingdom will be chosen by me as the first transfer target?"
"If I say this is based on my good personal relationship with you, would you believe it?" Sevini asked with a smile.
Xu Yize smiled and shook his head: "You are not such an unintelligent person."
"So I rely on the relatively complete magic industry foundation of our Lampali Kingdom, the experience in manufacturing magic machinery that is far deeper than other countries, and the good cooperation with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce over the years. How about these? Is it enough?"
Xu Yi glanced at the document in his hand, then looked at Sevini's sincere and serious eyes, and smiled slightly.
"It seems that the history of the magic industry on the Sainz continent is about to open a new page." (~^~)
