Of course Xu Yi had no choice.
If you reject Earl Satsuma's request, it means that you may lose the support of Earl Satsuma.
And even if Earl Satsuma's support is not important, the support of those who prompted him to make these requests to Xu Yi is absolutely important.
Earl Satsuma could tell that this was related to the interests of the entire Lampali Kingdom, so it proved that this request actually represented more than just Earl Satsuma's will, making Xu Yi unable to refuse at all.
However, agreeing to Earl Satsuma's request means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will probably enter the military industry that Xu Yi has always resisted.
Although with the gradual development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the gradual acceptance of magic machines, Xu Yi had already expected that such a day would come and was mentally prepared.
But no matter what, he didn't expect that this day would come so early.
The various civilian magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have not yet been fully popularized in the Lampali Kingdom, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is already planning to get involved in the military industry.
Recalling that most of the high-tech technologies on earth were first used in the military and then gradually transferred to civilian use, Xu Yi suddenly felt that this might be the fate of the machinery industry.
This is true on Earth, and it is no exception on the continent of Sainz.
So after Xu Yi agreed to Earl Satsuma, it didn't take long for him to adjust his somewhat resistant mentality and start actively raising funds.
However, Xu Yi still felt a little uncomfortable or uncomfortable when he saw Sevini suddenly appearing in front of him and talking to him all about the armor and weapons used by various armies.
"Your Royal Highness. I always thought that you were mainly concerned about people's livelihood matters. I didn't expect that you would even intervene in matters in the army. It really makes me... feel a bit of a contrast." Xu Yi looked at Sevini's gentle and attractive profile. road.
"Contrast? Why?" Sevini looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
"Because I always feel that... it is appropriate for a gentle and beautiful girl like you to care about people's lives, but it would be a bit strange to be associated with these cold weapons and armor." Xu Yi said honestly.
"Do you think I'm beautiful?" Sevini saw Xu Yi nodded, smiled slightly, and continued: "Thank you for your compliment. Indeed, compared to cold weapons and cruel military wars, I prefer to pay attention to one aspect of people's lives. Bit by bit. But there is no way, since I am the princess in your mouth, it is impossible to completely put aside these things. "
"Do you want to inherit the throne?" Xu Yi couldn't help but ask.
After asking, Xu Yi immediately realized that his question was a bit rash.
How could it be his turn to ask such a question
Fortunately, Sevini just looked at Xu Yi in surprise and did not look angry. Then he tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying to Xu Yi: "If I tell my truth, I don't want to. Of course. No one will believe it. This sentence."
"I believe it." Xu Yi said quickly. "Because I don't think you are really suitable to be a queen."
"Is it because I'm not worthy?" Sevigny asked.
"No, it's not unworthy. It's just not suitable." Xu Yi said sincerely. "Although I haven't had much contact with you, I think you are actually a very peaceful and kind-hearted girl, and this kind of personality is not suitable for being a queen. To be honest, I actually don't understand why you were born in Her Royal Highness will have such a character.”
"This is just your illusion." Sevini shook his head. "As a princess, how can I have the kind of character you mentioned? Well, let's stop chatting and let's get back to business."
Sevini clapped his hands, took out a drawing, and spread it on the table in front of the two of them.
"Did you see it? This is the standard armor currently used by the Royal Guards of the Kingdom. There are various size marks on it. You should be able to understand it."
Xu Yi looked over the drawings and nodded: "I can understand it, but I'm afraid the drawings alone are not enough. It would be best if you could give me a real pair of armor."
"That's no problem. I'll ask someone to send over some armors of different specifications." Sevini nodded, looking at Xu Yi who was leaning on the drawings to observe carefully, and asked: "How is it? Are you sure?"
After Xu Yi read it again, he straightened up and showed a confident smile to Sevini: "Your Highness, have you forgotten how I answered this question last time you asked me?"
Sevini was startled for a moment, and then remembered that she had indeed asked Xu Yi this question before Xu Yi wanted to develop a magic forging machine tool.
Xu Yi's answer at that time was - of course!
"That's good." Although Sevigny's smile was not as bright as Steele's, it still made people feel warm and peaceful like the warm sunshine in winter. "I hope that this time, President Xu, you can still keep your word. In addition, I can reveal to you in advance that if your cooperation with our Wang** side goes smoothly this time, then your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very likely to become Wang** in the future. We are an important partner and will receive strong support from the royal family and the military.”
"What are the specific benefits?" Xu Yi asked.
"Not yet. But at least, your New Flying Chamber of Commerce will not be kicked out by Baron Bilier like this time." There was a hint of joking in Sevigny's smile.
Xu Yi couldn't help but groaned: "Your Highness, this is your fault. It's okay if it's not convenient for you and His Majesty the King to come forward. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is an important partner of the Agriculture Department, but this time the Agriculture Department doesn't stand up for us. , it really disappoints me.”
"The Department of Agriculture has nothing to do." Sevigny said helplessly. "The Stark family is the noble with the most territory in the kingdom. Nearly half of the grain handed over by the Agriculture Department every year comes from the Stark family. Do you think it is possible that the Agriculture Department will question the Stark family because of you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? "
Xu Yi frowned: "This is wrong. Although the Stark family is the noble with the most territory in the kingdom, it can't compare with the royal family? Why is the food turned in by the Stark family close to half?"
"That's because the land owned by the royal family is actually equivalent to the land owned by the kingdom, which is not the same thing as the private lands of the nobles. The Stark family can rely on concentrated labor to cultivate large areas of farmland, increase production, and at the same time turn over a large amount of food , but not the royal family, because first of all, we can’t find enough people to cultivate farmland.”
After Sevini finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yi thoughtfully. "Now you know why your father attaches so much importance to the farmland magic machinery of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"
Only then did Xu Yi suddenly realize. After taking a look at Sevini, he started to feel aggrieved again.
"Your Highness, since our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so important, then you and His Majesty the King should stand up for us this time. Otherwise, this would be too chilling for me."
Sevini showed a helpless smile: "There is no way, my father also has his difficulties. And I... There is really nothing I can do at the moment. In addition, within our royal family... there are actually some different voices."
Xu Yi looked at Sevini, who had a hint of exhaustion in his expression, and couldn't help but shook his head: "So I say, the throne is really not something that ordinary people can do. Okay, Your Highness, I just complained casually, you don't need to take it to heart. On behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I agree to develop this magic machine tool. If you give us some time, we should be able to develop it smoothly.”
"Okay, then I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my father." Sevini said and gave Xu Yi a standard court lady ceremony, which shocked Xu Yi.
This is the first time she has saluted Xu Yi so solemnly, which shows that she attaches great importance to this research and development task.
After sending Sevini away, Xu Yi glanced at the drawings on the table, rolled them up, thought about it, gave up the idea of stuffing them into the office desk, and instead put them in his arms.
Although this is the new office in Sanqidun Manor, no one can break in without Xu Yi's consent, but the research and development task he took on this time needs to be kept strictly confidential. There is no need to do it, and Xu Yi doesn't want to Revealed easily.
After doing some calculations in the office, Xu Yi opened the door and walked out. He took a breath of the fresh air outside and felt that his groggy head suddenly sobered up a lot.
If it weren't for the constant roar of machines in the manor, this manor left by Viscount Sanchiton would really be a good place for self-cultivation.
Glancing at the two huge simple factories on the left and right sides, Xu Yi smiled, thinking that this was a fresh start for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After a busy week, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's factories finally moved out of the Stark family's territory.
Of course, only the machinery and equipment inside the factory can be moved, but there is definitely no way to move the factory building as well.
Baron Billier even shamelessly demanded compensation from Xu Yi for the four large and small factories left on his territory.
Because he felt that these maternity buildings were all left because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had not demolished them all, and it would definitely not work for him to spend time and money to demolish them, so he asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to compensate him for the demolition costs. .
Of course Xu Yi firmly disagreed with such a shameless and unreasonable request.
Baron Billier still wanted to pester and even threaten Xu Yi, but Baron Summer, who couldn't bear it after receiving the news, directly reprimanded him and was forced to give up.
Thinking of Baron Satsuma's unclear stance when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was driven out of the territory by Baron Billier, to his clear support now, and even reprimanding Baron Billier in person, Xu Yi knew that this must be because of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The reason why I finally set foot in the military industry.
This was actually the main reason why Xu Yi finally decided to let Xinfei Chamber of Commerce get involved in the military industry.
If you want to build a real magic industrial empire on this continent, the military industry is a link that cannot be bypassed.
While thinking about how to proceed, Xu Yi suddenly felt something in his heart, raised his eyebrows slightly, and shouted softly into the surrounding air: "Yanice, come out." (To be continued...)
