"Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your support and help to me. {乐}Read{小}说3.23x. But if you do this, will it be... too tough? The members of the parliament will definitely treat you "It's very objectionable." Xu Yi asked carefully.
Lampali XIII glanced at Xu Yi: "What? Do you really want to be deprived of your noble status?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "I actually don't value my noble status very much. If I can be deprived of it, I'll be fine with it. The problem is that your Majesty's approach may cause the noble council to be dissatisfied with you, because I am only a viscount, so it seems Not worth it.”
"I think it's worth it." Lampali XIII slowly shook his head, glanced at Xu Yi meaningfully, and asked in a deep voice: "Xu Yi, if I ignore this matter today, you will be deprived of it. After becoming a noble, your private domain and some of the privileges that only nobles have are taken back, what will you do next?”
"Not much." Xu Yi shook his head. "I don't have the ability to resist the decision of the Noble Council. Since they insist on doing this, I will hand over my territory and privileges honestly."
"What about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? How do you plan to arrange it?" Lampali XIII asked.
"I can develop Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from nothing to this point, so on the basis of the current situation, of course I have enough confidence to find another place to develop again." Xu Yi smiled confidently: "Where is it actually? It doesn’t matter, as long as I’m still here, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will still be here.”
"Your confidence is very strong." Lampali XIII read the first chapter with approval. "But where you think it is not important to develop, I think it is very important. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is such an important thing. If I let it slip away from our Lampali Kingdom, then I will become a sinner of the kingdom."
Xu Yi was stunned: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to value our New Flying Chamber of Commerce so much."
"How could I not value it?" Lampali XIII patted the stack of items at his hand. "There are countless data and examples here that prove that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has had a very positive effect on the development of the kingdom. If I don't value it, then what qualifications do I have to be the king?"
Xu Yi chuckled and rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, since you value our New Flying Chamber of Commerce so much, are you going to give us the privilege of reading again?"
Lampali XIII was a little amused: "You are quite good at climbing, but I will give you a chance. Tell me, what privileges do you want? If it is reasonable, I can promise you."
I didn’t expect Rampalli XIII to be so easy to talk to. Xu Yixin was overjoyed and said quickly: "Your Majesty, although you have previously approved that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has the right to free trade, I feel that this right is not enough."
"Oh? What else do you need?"
"Well... Although this right of free trade allows our Chamber of Commerce to have the right to trade with other countries and regions outside the kingdom, trade with enemy countries is strictly prohibited. So..."
King Lampali XIII narrowed his eyes: "What? Do you still want to do business with the Sak Kingdom? Do you still think the Sak Kingdom is not strong enough? Do you want to give them some money to help them become stronger?"
"Of course not." Xu Yi immediately shook his head. "Your Majesty. Although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always adopted a win-win strategy when doing business with each other. But for the business itself, it is not difficult to simply make money from the other party. Trading with the Sark Kingdom is not. It will help the Sark Kingdom become stronger, but it will drain their resources and money through these trades and weaken their strength. "
"Really?" Lampali XIII was shocked and asked curiously: "How to do it specifically?"
"Let's give you an example. Your Majesty, let's say our Chamber of Commerce sells a magic air conditioner to the Sark Kingdom. Do you think this will improve their strength?"
"Of course not." Lampali XIII shook his head. "Magic air conditioners can only be used for daily use, and they will obviously not help improve the strength of the entire kingdom."
"But our Chamber of Commerce's latest magic air conditioner is currently priced at twenty-eight gold coins. Selling one to the Sark Kingdom is equivalent to earning 28 gold coins from the Sark Kingdom. This is equivalent to weakening the Sark Kingdom. The funds from the Kingdom have strengthened our chamber of commerce.”
King Lampali XIII pondered for a moment and read the title gently: "I probably understand what you mean. But the Sak Kingdom will not be that stupid. Whatever you want to sell to them, they will want what they want, and there will inevitably be restrictions on it. ”
Xu Yi chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I think even you should know about smuggling, right?"
King Lampali XIII's face darkened and he snorted: "You, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, are so brave to mention smuggling in front of me!"
Xu Yi was not afraid at all, and still said with a playful smile: "Your Majesty, not only do I want to mention smuggling in front of you, but the privilege I want to ask you this time is about smuggling?"
Lampali XIII suddenly became happy: "What? Does your New Flying Chamber of Commerce also want to smuggle?"
"Yes. But what we want is legal smuggling."
"How is smuggling legal? Are you kidding me?" Lampali XIII glared at Xu Yi.
"Of course." Xu Yi put away his smile and said seriously: "As long as it is smuggling under your supervision and approval, it is naturally legal."
Seeing that Xu Yi was not joking, Lampali XIII pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xu Yi and showed a slightly cunning smile.
"President Xu, since you are a businessman, you should know what price you have to pay to get any benefits, right?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Your Majesty, I am here. You can kill him however you want. Please feel free to do so."
King Lampali XIII laughed: "Then I won't be polite."

When Xu Yi returned to the other courtyard, Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes were waiting here.
Seeing Xu Yi, both of them had strange expressions on their faces.
Although not many people saw what happened in the Noble Council in the morning, to the noble circle in Anvilmar City, no matter what happened in the Noble Council, it was no secret, let alone such an amazing scene.
His Majesty the King actually personally took action and forcibly saved Xu Yi's viscount title from the Noble Council!
To all the nobles in the city, the two king's decrees announced by Director Dema in front of the noble council were no different than a slap in the face of the noble council.
Although the Lampali Kingdom has been founded for hundreds of years, there have been many times when the king and the noble council had different opinions and even directly clashed. However, things like this time that directly undermined the noble council's face in public still rarely happened.
His Majesty the King is simply telling everyone clearly that no one is allowed to do anything to Xu Yi.
Before this, although many people knew that His Majesty the King valued Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they never thought that His Majesty the King would value Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to such an extent that he would not hesitate to treat him mercilessly. Lose the face of the noble council.
Just this incident immediately made Xu Yi the most eye-catching person in the aristocratic circle of the Lampali Kingdom, making countless people envious of him.
However, Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes looked at Xu Yi, but there was not much happiness on their faces.
"Xu Yi, I think that you are actually being used by His Majesty the King." Baron Heiners shook his head and sighed: "Although it seems very majestic to protect you from the noble council like this, it can also guarantee that anything will happen in the future. No one dares to attack you easily. But if you do this, the guys in the Noble Council will definitely hate you and will definitely cause trouble for you in the future."
Xu Yi smiled and said: "Do you think they wouldn't have troubled me without this incident? The resolution at this council meeting was not decided suddenly."
Baron Heiners thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's true. Most of the old men in the Noble Council are on the side of Prince Eric, and they want to deal with you. That's for sure. His Majesty the King is probably using you. I also want to take this opportunity to warn them.”
"So, if you are being used, take advantage of it. You have to know that even if many people want to be used by His Majesty the King, they are not qualified."
"You are very tolerant." Viscount Leslie couldn't help laughing. "I was originally worried that you would be hit by this incident, and that you would be disheartened by disappointment. But now it seems that you have not been affected by the reading, so I am relieved."
"It would be wrong to say that I was not affected at all." Xu Yi shook his head and sighed: "At least I have realized one fact clearly through this incident, that is, whether I want it or not, I have been branded with Sevini. The mark of Her Royal Highness. Just like you, Leslie, no matter what you think in your heart, you will still be considered by everyone to be a member of the Stark family."
Viscount Leslie smiled and shook his head: "Not only that, if I succeed in cooperating with your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, everyone will definitely think that the Stark family's position has changed. The chain reaction caused by this will definitely be very interesting. ”
Xu Yi and Baron Heiners looked at him in surprise. Baron Heiners couldn't help but said: "Hey, Leslie, you didn't do this on purpose because you thought of this, right?"
Viscount Leslie smiled but did not answer.
Xu Yi frowned and said, "Leslie, do you really want to do this and openly confront the family?"
"Why not?" Viscount Leslie shrugged. "If I don't do these things before I'm kicked out of the house, wouldn't it be a waste of my status as the eldest son of the family?"
Seeing the self-deprecating smile on Viscount Leslie's lips, Xu Yi and Baron Heiners looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
They knew very well that once Viscount Leslie decided on something, it would never be easily changed by others.
And judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he had already planned to do this, so that he would not be influenced by others.
But the problem is, even if he is the eldest son of the Stark family, confronting the entire Stark family like this is still asking for death. (To be continued...)
