When His Royal Highness Prince Eric became the king, many people in Bangta City couldn't help but feel a little panic.
Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny serves as the city lord of Bangta City, so Bangta City can almost be regarded as Sevigny's back garden and is her loyal supporter and backing.
Now that His Royal Highness Prince Eric has successfully taken over the throne, then according to the usual practice, the previous situation will obviously be liquidated. So a city like Bangta City that has clearly expressed its support for His Highness Princess Sevigny will inevitably be specially targeted by His Highness Prince Eric. .
Among all the chambers of commerce in Bangta City, the most worrying one is naturally the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The relationship between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny is the closest in Bangta City. President Xu Yi is an extremely staunch supporter of Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, and has publicly rejected Prince Eric's views many times. The recruitment had almost completely broken with His Royal Highness Prince Eric before.
In everyone's eyes, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly a thorn in the flesh of His Royal Highness Prince Eric. Once he succeeds in inheriting the throne, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will never escape the fate of being liquidated.
It is precisely because of this worry in the novel that even Xu Yi had to make plans in advance, was forced to stop the development plan of Luoyu Valley, and also transferred some of the most valuable resources of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to Go to the base of the Principality of Standing, and be on guard against His Highness Prince Eric's attack.
But the fact was beyond everyone's expectation.
After His Royal Highness Prince Eric successfully ascended the throne, he did not take any excessive actions against Bangta City. Not only did he not attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce first as everyone expected, he even made a special trip to issue a statement. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was specially commended for its outstanding contribution to the development of Bangta City. Almost everyone's jaw dropped.
And although the new city lord of Bonta City who took over Sevini is King Eric... good. Now he should be called personally appointed by King Eric. After arriving in Bangta City, he showed a very friendly attitude towards Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. He was not at all like Earl Stark who was the city lord. Targeted at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the new city lord has also stated that he will continue to support the development of Bangta City's magic industry. The good foundation laid by Her Royal Highness Queen Sevini will develop Bangta City into a new type of prosperity that can become a model for the entire Lampali Kingdom. city.
Everyone was confused by the attitude of King Eric and the new city lord.
His Majesty King Eric... what on earth are you thinking
to this question. King Eric once made his position clear in a special interview with "Lampali Weekly".
He claimed in this interview that he was just an ordinary prince in the past. Because he was competing for the throne with Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, he would naturally regard the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a staunch supporter of Sevigny, as an enemy, and of course he hoped to target him everywhere.
But once he ascended the throne and began to think about issues from the perspective of a king, he discovered the huge role that the magic industry represented by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce played in the development of the Lampali Kingdom.
Since he is already the king of this kingdom, his first priority is of course the development of the entire kingdom.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the magic industry are beneficial to the kingdom, and of course he must support the continued development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the magic industry. It is not unusual to change their attitude towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Through His Majesty King Eric’s statement in this interview, everyone suddenly understood.
have to say. The explanation given by His Majesty King Eric is extremely reasonable.
He is already His Majesty the King, so naturally he can no longer be so narrow-minded. No matter what he does, he needs to take into account the interests of the entire kingdom.
It is said that... After this interview was published and distributed across the country through "Lampali Weekly", the voices from various parts of the kingdom that opposed His Royal Highness Prince Eric's taking over the throne were immediately eliminated. King Eric's reputation was throughout the country. The kingdom has achieved unprecedented improvement.
Even in Bangta City, which was the most worried about King Eric before, there were many voices supporting the new King.
For a moment, the situation in the entire Lampali Kingdom seemed to be what Sevini had said to Xu Yi before.
Only with a smooth and smooth transfer of the throne can the Lampali Kingdom achieve the most stable and favorable development situation.
Seeing the situation in Bangta City and the entire kingdom with his own eyes, even Xu Yi was shaken for a while.
However... it turns out that everyone was happy too early, especially Xu Yi.
A month after His Royal Highness Prince Eric ascended the throne, little bits and pieces of news were not noticeable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they were all news that was unfavorable to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
First of all, the factories established by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in other cities in the kingdom began to be subject to special inspections by the city lords in various places.
Nominally, this is because His Majesty the King is concerned about the development of the magic industry, so the most representative New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be the subject of investigation first.
But in fact, during the investigation process, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce set up factories in various places with a lot of magic machine tool equipment, and even entire production lines were directly moved away in the name of investigation. Even some workers and engineers in the factory were moved Taken away in the name of assisting in the investigation.
Although these personnel were later released, the magic machine tools and equipment were all gone forever.
Then, a special Magic Industry Management Agency was established under the Kingdom Council.
As the name suggests, this is specifically used to manage the various chambers of commerce involved in the magic industry in the Lampali Kingdom.
The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
According to the regulations of the Magic Industry Administration, any chamber of commerce involved in the magic industry must accept the unified management of the Magic Industry Administration.
The so-called management requires all chambers of commerce related to the magic industry to unconditionally cooperate with the work of the Magic Industry Administration. For example, the Administration requires that all chambers of commerce involved in the magic industry must have a certificate issued by the Administration before they can start production.
As for this certificate, the Administration has set up a corresponding certificate for different magic machines.
Therefore, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a Magic Industry Chamber of Commerce that currently produces more than 100 types of magic machinery, needs to apply for more than 100 certificates.
Every time you apply for a certificate, the procedure is complicated. Therefore, the various fees paid are also expensive.
Take the Magic Refrigerator production certificate as an example. Want to be successful in getting approved. To do it, you need to pay as much as three hundred gold coins.
After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce obtained certificates for all types of magic machinery, the cost was more than 40,000 gold coins.
As for the unavoidable gray expenses during the application approval process, they are by no means less than this amount.
In other words, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce spent more than 80,000 gold coins just because of the certification requirement.
The validity period of the certificate is only one year...
If just spending tens of thousands more gold coins every year does not have a big impact on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then another regulation of the Administration is completely unacceptable to Xu Yi.
In the name of supporting the development of the magic industry in the entire kingdom, the Magic Industry Administration requires Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open its unique technology to other magic industry chambers of commerce in the kingdom. To help other magic industry chambers of commerce develop and grow.
This request was firmly rejected by Xu Yi.
Moreover, when the Magic Industry Administration asked other magic industry chambers of commerce in the kingdom for their opinions, they received opposition from the vast majority of chambers of commerce.
Almost all chambers of commerce agree that such regulations completely violate the most basic business principles.
If the administration enforces it, it will be equivalent to breaking the iron rules of all chambers of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom.
For the sake of the reputation of their own chamber of commerce, no chamber of commerce dared to support this decision of the Administration.
Because the opposition was too fierce, the Administration finally gave up.
However, through this incident, Xu Yi completely understood King Eric's true thoughts.
It's not that he doesn't want to deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, on the contrary, he really wants to.
But perhaps it was because he was concerned about the agreement with Sevigny, or perhaps he was concerned that he had just ascended the throne. He needs to save some face, maybe someone can give him some advice. Make him less direct... It can also be said that the food appearance should not be so ugly.
In short, he is now taking slow, seemingly very gentle, and not too eye-catching measures to target the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the magic industry represented by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Of course Xu Yi could guess what he was really thinking.
As a king, he certainly hopes to firmly grasp the magic industry, which has a profound impact on the entire Lampali Kingdom, in his own hands.
After that, the commercial tax reform implemented by the new city lord in Bangta City actually seemed to Xu Yi to be a sign that he couldn't wait any longer.
This commercial tax reform is simply like raising a butcher knife nakedly and nakedly against the magic industry represented by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, intending to cut off a large piece of the fattest meat. Come and fill up the die-hard nobles behind him who supported him on the throne.
Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart every time he thought of this commercial and tax policy reform.
His Royal Highness Prince Eric finally ascended the throne as he wished with the support of those nobles, but how could these nobles support him for free
No matter how much he paid, these greedy nobles would naturally want to get several times or even dozens of times in return from him.
This has been very clearly shown when Duke Stark serves as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom and concurrently holds the position of Director of the Magic Industry Administration.
It's just that these are Xu Yi's speculations, but he can't elaborate on them with Sevini.
Looking at Sevini in deep thought, Xu Yi sighed in his heart.
He wondered how much Sevigny knew about the situation.
If she knew a series of actions of Prince Eric, would she regret that she would rather let down the expectations of countless people than give up the fight for the throne completely
A young man wearing the uniform of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce suddenly ran over from a distance and stood panting in front of Xu Yi, waking up Xu Yi and Sevini who were both deep in thought.
"What's the matter?" Xu Yi was a little confused. He had promised not to disturb his private conversation with Sevini.
"Will... Mr. President, the Lord of Kamadu City... is here." The young man replied breathlessly.
"Oh? The Lord of the City is here again?" Xu Yi blinked, turned to Sevini and smiled. "Your Highness, are you interested in watching a good show?" (To be continued...)
