His Majesty Emperor Candela looked at a document on the table in front of him and remained silent.
This document is just a piece of information, but it is placed at the top of all the documents, which means that of all the things he needs to deal with today, this is the most important one.
This piece of information was thick, almost tens of thousands of words long, but in summary, it only described one thing.
Xu Yi is back.
"This guy... why doesn't he just stay on the Demon Cloud Continent and never come back? Or... wouldn't it be better to just die on the Demon Cloud Continent?" His Majesty Emperor Candela raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, for him, Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, has always had complicated thoughts.
If you look at it purely from the perspective of the Candela Empire, he should be very grateful to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce he represents.
First of all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce brought farmland magic machinery, and also cooperated with the elves to obtain the plant growth ability from the elves that they had been unwilling to share with other races, and created chemical fertilizers.
With the help of these two things, the food production in the Candela Empire has increased significantly. Compared with the time when the New Flying Chamber of Commerce did not appear thirty years ago, it has increased by nearly ten times.
Such a crazy increase in output means that the Candela Empire no longer has to worry about famine. The empire's rule has naturally become much more stable, and there is no need to worry about unrest caused by the appearance of disaster victims.
Even if there is a large-scale famine, with the annual food reserves of the Candela Empire, it will not cause any problems at all.
In the past, this would have been unimaginable.
Of course, there are more things that were previously unimaginable.
Among them, in the view of His Majesty Emperor Candela, the second only to the increase in grain production is the improvement of transportation.
The Candela Empire was an extremely large empire.
From the northernmost tip of the empire to the southernmost tip, the straight-line distance is more than 4,000 kilometers.
Even with the fastest horse, running continuously without rest, it would theoretically take three days to run from the northernmost point to the southernmost point.
In practice, it is because of manpower and horsepower issues. As well as the obstacles on the road, it would probably take at least half a month to really complete such an itinerary.
This means that no matter what happens anywhere in the empire, it wants to be reported to the ears of His Majesty the Emperor. It was already several days later, which greatly affected the control and influence of His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Center on the Empire.
In the current Candela Empire, countless roads criss-cross the empire, forming a road transportation network that runs through all cities and almost all towns in the country.
Coupled with the new type of transportation brought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce - the magic motorcycle, it only takes one to two days to reach anywhere in the empire.
Even leaving aside the various civilian conveniences it brings. Just because of this, all the troops controlled by the Empire's center can arrive at any location in the Empire within a day or two, which greatly enhances His Majesty's control over the Empire.
Think about it, as long as you dare to rebel, the imperial army will arrive in front of you within a day or two.
Under such a threat, which noble would choose to rebel regardless of life or death
Besides, various magic machinery-related industries are now booming in the Candela Empire, and because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has self-recognized its cooperation with the official empire, most other magic industry chambers of commerce have also moved closer to the imperial official, allowing the imperial official to gain control over the empire. The greatest control of the internal magic industry industry.
This makes the nobles within the empire must unite closely around the empire officials if they want to participate in the magic industry. Only in this way can we obtain better development opportunities and prospects.
And participating in the magic industry can bring you huge benefits that far exceed those in your own territory. How can the nobles of the empire rebel unwisely
In addition to these two points, among the changes brought to the Candela Empire by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Emperor Candela's private favorite is actually the magic communication network.
With the magic communication network throughout the empire, he can truly know what is happening in every place in the empire at the first time, and he can also rely on the magical illusion images to know everything that is happening.
This is much better than sitting empty-handed in the palace before, waiting for the report from below after several days of delay. It also gave him the pleasure of being the ruler of this huge empire.
Or to put it more bluntly, for the former Emperor Candela, he knew that he was the extremely noble Emperor of the Candela Empire, but his status restrictions made it difficult for him to truly come into contact with all aspects of this huge empire. Even sitting on the throne of His Majesty the Emperor, there is not much real feeling.
However, now, the huge road transportation network, fast and convenient transportation brought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and the more convenient magic communication network have made him truly feel fulfilled in ruling this empire. I truly have the feeling of being His Majesty the Emperor.
From this perspective, of course he would like to thank the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi for bringing all this.
However, from another perspective, His Majesty Emperor Candela hated Xu Yi extremely.
Yes, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce he represents have certainly brought about earth-shaking changes in the Candela Empire, and his Majesty the Emperor has been called the greatest Emperor in the history of the empire by countless people in the empire, but Emperor Candela always feels that On the contrary, his power is far less than before.
The reason is very simple, it is because there is a new flying merchant who is pressing on it.
Yes, the Candela Empire and the Malo Empire are the two most powerful empires on the Sainz continent. Even the Candela Empire is stronger than the Malo Empire. It is not an exaggeration to call it the most powerful country on the continent.
However, because of the existence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, whether it is the Candela Empire or the Malo Empire, no matter what they do, they must consider the thoughts of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
If there is something that the two empires want to do, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce disagrees with it, then the two empires will eventually have to follow the advice of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and be forced to give up.
In many cases, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce does not need to make a clear stance at all. The two empires have to consider the possible attitude of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce when doing certain things.
This feeling is very bad.
Even though he is the most noble Emperor of the Candela Empire, His Majesty Emperor Candela often has to consider various factors and make compromises on some things.
But this is just a decision made by oneself after considering the interests of all parties.
But now, towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they are just simply worried, it can even be said to be... afraid.
Even though His Majesty Emperor Candela would never admit it, he knew it very well in his heart.
Eleven years ago, the war between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom's army against the Candela Empire left an indelible mark on his heart.
The power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's military magic machinery made it impossible for the two empires at that time to resist.
Especially the terrifying attack shown by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the end, which directly collapsed a mountain, shattered everyone's fighting spirit, and made countless people in the empire unable to think about the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The thought of being an enemy.
Therefore, His Majesty Emperor Candela must be forbearing, must be considerate, must respect and even listen to Xu Yi's views and opinions.
This is simply a shame for His Majesty, the powerful Imperial Emperor!
Now, eleven years have passed since the battlefield that destroyed everyone's fighting spirit.
In the past eleven years, the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have cooperated vigorously to develop the country's magic industry crazily. With the help of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and their own efforts, they have established a basically complete magic industry. industry.
In private, the Candela Empire has conducted crazy research on military magic machinery, and has produced extraordinary results.
According to the secret experimental evaluation of the Imperial Military Department, the military magic machines now owned by the Candela Empire are no weaker than or even stronger than the military magic machines displayed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce eleven years ago.
But no one thinks that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will stagnate in these eleven years, so His Majesty Emperor Candela is still cautious and waiting for the opportunity.
Just last year, the time finally came.
The "Continental Peace Convention" was initially signed for ten years. However, just as this period was about to expire, Xu Yi, the guy who single-handedly concluded the "Continental Peace Convention", left Sainz Continent!
Without Xu Yi, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce lost their leader. After careful consideration, His Majesty Emperor Candela finally decided to take action.
Attacking the Magic Kingdom of Mana was actually a trial and a gamble for him.
He wanted to test the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's true attitude towards the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and also wanted to take a gamble on what kind of reaction and attitude the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would take in response to the Kandra Empire's sudden war.
It turned out that he won the bet.
It has been nearly a year since the Candela Empire launched a war against the Magic Kingdom of Mana last year.
But within this year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only mobilized major chambers of commerce to lend a helping hand to civilians involved in the war, but it never expressed any attitude towards the war itself.
This reaction undoubtedly represents a very clear signal in the eyes of His Majesty Emperor Candela and many people within the empire.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may really no longer be able to control the situation in the entire Sainz Continent.
Or to go one step further, maybe the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is also afraid
In fact, the strength possessed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has long been unable to suppress all countries on the continent, or even the two major empires. That is why they no longer intervene in the war launched by the Candela Empire as before
If this is really the case, doesn't it mean that the Candela Empire hopes to once again become the most powerful empire that dominated the entire Sainz continent
However, His Majesty Emperor Candela is still unable to say for sure.
He still has to wait, waiting for the true attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Without Xu Yi, the president, all actions taken by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot truly represent the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And now that Xu Yi is back, how will he react? (~^~)
