Sevini had a half-smile on her face, and with the seriousness in her eyes, it was hard to tell whether she was joking or not.
Xu Yi quickly smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are really good at joking. I am a loyal, law-abiding and good citizen. How could I think of rebellion? Besides, our Chamber of Commerce has only recruited less than 300 magicians this time. How can I Able to rebel?"
"Three hundred magicians are still too few for you?" Sevini glared at Xu Yi lightly. "You have to know that even in the kingdom's army, the total number of magicians in a legion is only 500. And don't forget, there is a great magician in your New Flying Chamber of Commerce!"
"Your Highness, you can't accuse me so unjustly." Xu Yi yelled quickly. "Our Chamber of Commerce recruits so many magicians purely because of work needs, but it has nothing to do with the rebellion. Even the great magician Camilla is only responsible for researching magic machinery in the Chamber of Commerce. Do you think I dare to command him to rebel? ?”
"Of course you don't dare." Sevini shook his head, and then sighed softly: "But some people think you dare. Do you know that because of this matter, someone has already spoken in front of the father, saying that your new flying chamber of commerce not only recruited such There are so many magicians, and they have recruited so many foreigners, so they must have evil intentions. I hope my father will be more vigilant about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and even directly supervise it."
Xu Yi was stunned and frowned: "Isn't this person too daring to slander? Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just doing business honestly. We only recruited those foreigners because of their special abilities. How could we have evil intentions? ? I don’t think His Majesty the King would believe this nonsense?”
"Of course my father will not listen to these words. But it means one thing, that is, as the reputation of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce increases, someone has noticed you and wants to do something to you. I hope you can improve in the future. Be careful not to leave too many clues to others. For example...this time your factory has recruited three hundred elves, but you have not submitted their labor certificate applications to the Kingdom Council. It can be regarded as proof that you have evil intentions.”
Xu Yi patted his head and said with a smile: "I have been so busy during this period. I forgot about it for a while. Okay, I will compile the list in the next two days, and then apply for labor certificates for them. I guarantee that Please, Your Highness, please worry about us."
"It would be strange if you don't worry." Sevini sighed softly. Shaking his head, he took out a document from his small bag and gave it to Xu Yi. "I have already submitted the application for you. You just need to fill in the list and I will add their names."
Xu Yi took the application and took a look at it, and found that all the procedures were actually complete, only a list was missing.
Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, you really take care of me. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you."
"You don't need to express yourself, just do what you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are doing in Bonta City well." Sevini smiled. "I heard that the reason why Great Magician Camilla joined your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is because he found that what your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is doing can improve the lives of ordinary people in Bangta City. This is the same for me. As long as If you and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can continue to do this, I will always support you.”
Xu Yi shrugged: "Since everyone can see that what I and our New Flying Chamber of Commerce are doing is beneficial to everyone, why would anyone still maliciously slander us?"
"Because this benefit has nothing to do with them, and because their position is different from yours."
Sevini responded vaguely and did not continue to explain. He waved to Xu Yi and led Xu Yi to another hidden room in the city lord's mansion where the two met.
There were two people sitting in the room. When they saw Sevigny entering, they immediately stood up and saluted Sevigny together.
Xu Yi's eyes swept over the two of them and found that the thinner of the two showed a strong spirit in his movements and stood straight. Without squinting, you can tell at a glance that he must be from the military.
But another middle-aged man of moderate stature had a friendly smile on his face. He looked very friendly, just like an ordinary businessman.
"Let me introduce you. This is Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Sevini pointed at Xu Yi and introduced them to the two.
"President Xu, I have heard your name for a long time. It is a great honor for me to finally meet you in person today." The middle-aged man who looked like a businessman immediately stretched out his hands and held Xu Yi's right hand tightly. A friendly look on his face. "Let me introduce myself. I am Major McConley from the Logistics Department of the Kingdom's Military Department. I mainly help the soldiers of the Kingdom manage logistics. That is to say, I help the brothers buy clothes to wear, food to eat, etc. Anyway, Just a handyman."
Xu Yi put his other hand up, held hands with Major Macconley, and also showed a warm smile.
"To put it this way, everyone is actually the same. As the president, I am actually responsible for taking care of these chores for the employees in the chamber of commerce."
Major Macconley laughed: "That's great. President Xu and I will definitely have a lot of things to talk about."
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that Major McConley said so modestly, but in fact the Military Logistics Department is the most lucrative place in the Kingdom's military department. Major McConley can be responsible for the logistics department, regardless of his personal ability. To talk about it, you definitely need to have a very strong background.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yi looked at the other person.
The man looked about forty years old. Seeing Xu Yi's eyes, he didn't say much. He just nodded slightly to Xu Yi and said expressionlessly: "My name is Sahas."
It could be seen that this Sahas's personality was completely different from that of Major Macconley. Xu Yi didn't say much, but just smiled at him and nodded: "Nice to see you."
Seeing that the three of them knew each other, Sevini motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "President Xu, I came to you with Major Macconley and Major Sahas this time to consult you about Regarding the arsenal, I hope you will fully cooperate."
"Easy to say." Xu Yi nodded and looked at Major McConley.
Judging from the demeanor of the three people, the main person asking questions this time should be the head of the Military Logistics Department.
Sure enough, McConley coughed lightly, straightened his expression, suppressed his smile, and asked Xu Yi: "President Xu, let me tell you some good news first. The arsenal supervised by the military department has now been completed. At present, it is just that there is a lack of The corresponding magic machine tool equipment will be put into use. I would like to ask, when will the magic machine tool equipment that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promised to provide for the production of armor weapons be delivered? "
"Actually, our Chamber of Commerce has been secretly producing the corresponding magic machine tool equipment since we discussed with Her Majesty the Queen last time to establish an arsenal. Now we have completed a series of magic machine tool equipment that is enough to start two production lines at the same time, and can be delivered at any time." Xu Yi replied.
McConley and Sahas looked at each other, with a hint of joy on their faces.
"Then President Xu, according to the agreement signed between you and Her Royal Highness, your New Flying Chamber of Commerce must not only provide magic machine tool equipment, but also provide corresponding technical personnel to help guide the military in mastering the technology and various specifications on how to use these magic machine tools. "These technicians, are you ready?" McConley asked again.
"There is no problem in this regard. I selected the corresponding skilled workers from among a hundred slaves under my own name. Because of their identities, I can guarantee that they will not leak secrets. Of course, for the sake of caution, I propose to These slaves are transferred to Her Royal Highness, who will control them. I believe this will make it easier for the military to control them." Xu Yidao.
Sevigny, Macconley, and Sahas all looked a little stunned.
McConley couldn't help but coughed slightly. In fact, Xu Yi had told Sevini last time that the corresponding skilled workers would be selected from his slaves. In this negotiation with Xu Yi, McConley originally I planned to put forward this condition on behalf of the military department, but I didn't expect Xu Yi to take the initiative now.
"President Xu, I have to say, you are really wise." McConley praised, turned to Sevigny and asked: "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Sevini took a deep look at Xu Yi and nodded: "Okay, just do as President Xu said, these slaves will be transferred to my name. But President Xu, based on what I know about you, you You shouldn’t just give these slaves to me for no reason, right?”
Xu Yi chuckled: "Your Highness, you really know me very well. Indeed, these slaves are not only my precious personal property, but also very important skilled workers in our chamber of commerce. Suddenly without their words, no matter for me or It is a huge loss to our Chamber of Commerce. It would be unjustifiable if Her Royal Highness and the Military Department do not give me some appropriate compensation."
McConley laughed: "President Xu is right, there is no free lunch in this world. Since President Xu has paid the price, he is qualified to impose conditions. President Xu, please set out your conditions." . As long as it’s not too much, Her Royal Highness is here, she can definitely make the decision and agree to it.”
Sevini did not speak, but nodded slightly to express his agreement.
Xu Yi looked at the slightly nervous three people, smiled and said: "Don't worry, of course I won't put forward excessive conditions. Well... this condition is very simple. From now on, all the kingdom's military will control all the territory in the territory controlled by the Sark Kingdom. The minerals are mined by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.”
The expressions of all three of them changed.
Sevigny blurted out, almost without thinking: "This is impossible!"
