"Spend two million gold coins just to exchange for the right to station a Chamber of Commerce escort team with no more than 500 people?" President Cruise looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, frowned and asked: "Xu Yi, I How do you find that since you came to the Principality of Standing, your head seems to have been burned out and you are always doing business at a loss? "
"Are you losing money?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "First of all, you have to understand that although these two million gold coins are issued by our New Flying Chamber of Commerce and used to transform the environment here, in the end it is our New Flying Chamber of Commerce itself that benefits the most from these environments, so in fact, seriously , this can be regarded as our own investment by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.”
"After all, the problem here is the territory of the Principality of Standing. Your New Flying Chamber of Commerce can now invest and build here, but you can't take away the things you have made here. If you don't work here one day, these things will still be wasted. Is it?" President Cruz asked puzzled.
"Who said I would leave in the future?" Xu Yi asked.
"If you don't want to leave, do you still want to stay? Here..." President Cruise suddenly paused, glanced at Xu Yi with a surprised look on his face, then looked left and right, and suddenly came closer to Xu Yi, lowering his voice slightly. He asked tremblingly: "Hey, Xu Yi, do you want to..."
Xu Yi waved his hand: "Don't ask me, I won't tell."
President Cruise closed his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Yi thoughtfully for a long time, then stood up again, looked him up and down as if meeting Xu Yi for the first time, and shook his head slightly. Sighed: "Xu Yi, I just discovered today that your ambition is much greater than I thought. But do you think... only five hundred people are enough? You also underestimate the Principality of Standing." Already?"
"What do you think of the combat effectiveness of the escort team of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the last joint operation of our four chambers of commerce in the Black Rice Wasteland?" Xu Yi asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
President Cruise was startled for a moment, thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Very strong. But if you want to maintain this combat effectiveness... I'm afraid it will be difficult, right?"
"That's not what we are discussing now." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head gently. "Really speaking, maybe there will be changes within the Principality of Standing without me having to do anything myself."
"People here are too lazy to sleep all day long, what surprising changes can there be?" President Cruz snorted coldly.
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing. He patted President Cruise on the shoulder and said, "What? Now you also realize how lazy these people here are?"
President Cruz groaned: "I'm really surprised. How can the people here be so lazy? Of the five thousand people you threw over, I will take two thousand people and let them be responsible for the simplest leveling of the field." work. Guess what? Now a full week has passed, these two thousand people... two thousand people! With their efficiency, they want to kill you. The roads in this large area have been repaired, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it until I die!”
"So I said. Don't expect the efficiency of the workers here. It's better to bring people over from our Lampali Kingdom. Besides, I don't want to waste my precious salary on these people here. I have money to make. Why not let us, the people of Lampali Kingdom, earn it?" Xu Yidao.
"Well, I have decided to go back in a few days. I will recruit workers on a large scale in Bangta City, oh no, not just Bangta City, but also in all surrounding cities. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will really happen I can’t keep up with the progress.”
"This is best." Xu Yi nodded. "I'm sure that your work in building roads will not decrease, but will increase to the point where you will be overwhelmed."
"That's for sure." President Cruz said with a slightly smug smile: "After realizing the benefits of roads, many people now come to us to build roads. Not only in the Kingdom of Lampali, we have built more than We have built more than 300 kilometers of roads in the Luersun Kingdom. Including yours, the number of roads we have booked for next year will exceed 1,500 kilometers. "
"It's still too little." Xu Yi sighed. "According to my estimation, if every part of the Lampali Kingdom is to be connected by road, the total mileage must be at least over 50,000 kilometers. But it's still far behind now."
"Fifty thousand kilometers?" President Cruz exclaimed, "Isn't this too exaggerated? Do you want the Lampali Kingdom to have roads wherever it goes?"
"Why not?" Xu Yi asked. "Don't you think this is appropriate?"
"This..." President Cruz paused and nodded involuntarily. "Well, I think it is very appropriate. But now there is a problem, Xu Yi, although it is very convenient to build roads, but what you said about roads driving the improvement of transportation capacity and thus promoting economic improvement has not been reflected very well. Carriages are also It’s just that I’m running a little faster and a little easier than before, but there’s not much significant improvement.”
"If you want to ask when the magic motorcycle will be ready, just ask directly. Why are you beating around the bush?" Xu Yi said angrily.
President Cruise chuckled: "It's good that you know. Then tell me the truth, when will the magic locomotive you mentioned be built?"
Xu Yi looked to the northeast, which was the direction of Luoyu Valley.
"Before coming here, the institute told me that a major breakthrough has been made in the research of magic locomotives. If I can see their real research results after going back this time, then I might be able to give you an accurate answer."
President Cruz sighed in disappointment.
"I've been waiting for this magic motorcycle of yours for almost a year, and I still haven't gotten it yet."
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not only you, but also me, I don't know how many people are waiting for the official suppression of the magic motorcycle. But this matter cannot be rushed. There are too many things in the design of the magic motorcycle. If you can't There are a lot of problems that will arise if it’s successful.”
President Cruz could only shrug helplessly: "Well, I've been staring at him for almost a year anyway, so I don't mind waiting for a while."
"Well, before that, you should just keep building roads." Xu Yi said with a smile. "Don't let the magic motorcycle be launched, but because the road is not repaired, the magic motorcycle can't run at all. That would be a tragedy."
President Cruz snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I'm already adjusting the focus of our chamber of commerce's work. With the current efficiency of our chamber of commerce, we can pave and build more than two to three hundred kilometers of roads in a month. Waiting for you After the magic motorcycle is built, at least within the Lampali Kingdom, I can guarantee that it can run to any city through the road. "
"It would be great."
Xu Yi smiled and praised, put aside the question about the magic motorcycle, and began to discuss with President Cruise the planning plan for the territory in the north of the Principality of Standing under the name of the Weilun clan.
According to Xu Yi's initial idea, of course, roads must be laid in this territory first to solve the traffic problem first.
According to President Cruz's estimation, in order to meet Xu Yi's basic requirements, a minimum of 200 kilometers of road paving will be needed.
At the same time, although the road connecting the Falling Rain Valley to the town of Samara has been completed, there is still a need to build a road starting from the town of Samara, passing through the Woler Werewolf Tribe, and then passing through the Black Rice Wasteland, and finally connecting the Highways in the Principality of Standing.
The mileage of this highway is close to 100 kilometers, so the initial plan is to pave all the more than 300 kilometers first.
Due to the special climate of the Principality of Standing, construction can still be started even though it has entered winter. Therefore, Chairman Cruise decided to take advantage of the fact that other places could not start construction in winter to bring a few construction teams from other places over and attack here. We will carry out construction work and strive to complete all the 200 kilometers of roads required here within this winter.
This plan naturally received strong support from Xu Yi. For this reason, he took the initiative to cooperate with Filson Bus to open a long-distance bus line from Bangta City to Weilun City in the Principality of Standing, specifically responsible for picking up Bangta back and forth. The residents of the city travel between the two cities.
The only problem is that even if the road is built, at the speed of Ferson's horse-drawn carriages, it will take more than twenty hours to complete the entire journey on the road, and it will ultimately take two to three days.
So the question goes back to the question that President Cruise asked Xu Yi before.
"When will the magic motorcycle be developed?"
If the speed of the magic locomotive can reach the speed of long-distance buses on the earth, and the minimum speed is maintained at 60 kilometers per hour, then the distance from Bangta City to here is only more than 400 kilometers, which is only seven or eight hours, in one day Arrived anyway.
But as he said in his answer to President Chris, the research and development requirements for a magic motorcycle are extremely high, so how could it be completely made so easily.
After finishing the conversation with President Cruz, Xu Yi left Weilun City and met Agnes, Delir, and Stasha who had been waiting here in the forest on the roadside.
This time we are going to meet Lisania Shadowsong, the elder of the Moonshadow Tribe. Yanis and he are both liaisons, and Delir is a representative from the Nightsong Tribe. As for Stasha, she is from the Moonshadow Tribe. Observer, responsible for providing reference opinions to Elder Lisania Shadowsong.
Although this time the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was nominally opening a rubber processing factory here, Xu Yi took the opportunity to propose to Elder Elusia that Delir could represent the Yege Tribe to propose joint cooperation with the Moon Shadow Tribe.
Because both parties are elves of the same race, Elder Lisania Shadowsong's wariness will inevitably be eliminated a lot, which will be more conducive to the success of the cooperation.
What's more, Stasha is here.
