King Eric pinched his forehead hard and felt that his whole head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode.
The reasons for this phenomenon were, firstly, that he had not been able to sleep well for several months, and secondly, because of the large pile of official documents in front of him.
Although these official documents seem to be many, they all talk about the same thing, which is a bloody conflict that broke out in Bangta City before.
In a general sense, this bloody conflict was nothing more than an accident. It did not deserve too much attention, and it was impossible for him, the noble King, to suffer from it.
But the problem is that the meaning behind this bloody conflict is too complicated and important, and it has triggered reactions and even backlash from a lot of people in the entire Lampali Kingdom, which is why it has become so serious.
On the surface, this bloody conflict was very simple. It was just that the Bangta City Guards fell behind and killed a civilian while performing their mission.
This kind of thing has happened many times in the history of the Lampali Kingdom. In the past, civilians were directly silenced, and at most they could settle it with a little money.
However, as soon as this incident happened, it was immediately revealed, and in a short period of time, it attracted the attention and reaction of almost everyone in the kingdom. The fundamental reason for this bloody conflict was that these city guards were enforcing the regulations of the city lord of Bangta City and preventing a certain chamber of commerce in Bangta City from using farmland magic machinery for harvesting outside the regulations.
After the incident occurred, almost all newspapers in the Lampali Kingdom reported it in detail, and many newspapers even made follow-up reports, clearly describing the two parties involved in the conflict and the specific inside story. Let everyone know the reason for this conflict.
And it is knowing the reason. This caused a huge reaction from countless people in the kingdom.
Does the city lord of Bangta City have the authority to stipulate that farmland harvesting must use a designated brand of farmland magic machinery
this problem. This is the core of everyone's doubts.
In the eyes of most people, the primary goal of farmland harvesting is to complete the harvest smoothly and quickly, so as long as it can collect the grain in the field, it doesn't matter what brand of farmland magic machinery is used.
Moreover, there are only two brands of farmland magic machinery in the entire Lampari Kingdom. One is the New Flying Brand, which was used by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce in this conflict. It was because it was confiscated by the city guard that the bloodshed started. conflict.
The other one is the Hayata brand. Not only the brand designated by Bangta City. It is also a brand recommended by the Magic Industry Administration for use by all cities in the kingdom. At the same time, Hayata brand farmland magic machinery is also a brand designated by the Department of Agriculture. Before spring plowing this year, it has been promoted in many cities in the Lampali Kingdom and recommended for use in all cities.
Although neither the Commerce Department nor the Agriculture Department has made it compulsory to use the Hayata brand farmland magic machinery like Bangta City, but since it is recommended by the Commerce Department and the Agriculture Department, most cities in the Kingdom still use the new Fei brand farmland machines that were previously used. The magic machine was replaced by a Hayata brand.
Originally this was nothing, but after the bloody conflict in Bangta City, a lot of opposing voices emerged one after another.
The reasons for the objections mainly focus on two points, one of which is whether it is the city lord's palace or not. Neither the Magic Industry Administration, the Commerce Department, nor the Agriculture Department can mandate the use of certain products.
People want to buy something. It must be voluntary.
To make it mandatory would violate basic principles.
Another point is mainly focused on the quality of Hayata brand farmland magic machinery.
According to the news conveyed through various newspapers in various cities, the quality of Hayata's farmland magic machinery cannot be complimented.
The fundamental reason why this bloody conflict occurred in Bangta City was that the quality of the Hayata brand farmland magic machinery was too poor. More than half of the twenty Hayata brand small magic harvesters purchased by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce were broken, so they were forced to violate the state. According to the regulations of the Tacheng City Lord's Mansion, Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery is used.
However, in order to enforce the regulations, the city government clashed with the workers of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, which led to tragedy.
If the quality of Hayata brand farmland magic machinery could be better, how could this happen
Moreover, apart from Bangta City, the performance of Hayata brand farmland magic machinery in other cities is also extremely poor.
Newspapers from various places have revealed that the locally used Hayata brand farmland magic machinery has encountered various problems during use, resulting in normal harvesting being impossible to proceed at all.
Due to frequent problems with the Hayata brand farmland magic machinery, many cities had to re-activate the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery before spring plowing was over.
Otherwise, this year's spring plowing of food production in the Lampali Kingdom may be greatly affected by this.
In most newspapers, there was strong condemnation of the Hayata Chamber of Commerce.
Countless people have raised questions about the Hayata Chamber of Commerce. Why did the Hayata Chamber of Commerce build farmland magic machinery of such poor quality despite having obtained complete technology from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and strong support from the Magic Industry Administration
Not to mention being compared to the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery, at least you have to be able to use it normally, right? many words
However, some newspapers put forward another perspective.
It is an indisputable fact that the quality of Hayata Farmland Magic Machinery is too poor. Of course, these newspapers will not forcefully defend themselves, so they blame the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, claiming that this is because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not transferred the real All the technology for producing farmland magic machinery was handed over to the Hayata Chamber of Commerce, which led to the poor quality of the Hayata brand farmland magic machinery.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not hand over all the technology as required by the Magic Industry Administration, but chose to interrupt the cooperation midway, leaving the Magic Industry Administration and the ten chambers of commerce represented by the Hayata Chamber of Commerce in a mess.
These ten chambers of commerce are now able to produce complete magic machinery, which is enough for them.
In order to support the continued development of these ten chambers of commerce, they will create better and better magic machines in the future, so that the people of the Lampali Kingdom can get rid of the restrictions of the new flying magic machines. I hope everyone can give these ten chambers of commerce more patience. Support them.
This view has naturally been reviled by countless people.
It is obvious that the Magic Industry Administration wants to take away this big piece of the magic machinery market from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. As a result, after grabbing the technology by force, he couldn't do it well, and now he's still blaming the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
This is clearly like being a bitch and building a memorial arch!
An article published in "Lampali Weekly" pushed this anger against those ten chambers of commerce to its peak.
This article is an interview conducted by "Lampari Weekly" with the dwarf Canby, the chief magic mechanical engineer of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
During the interview, Canby replied that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had completely transferred all relevant technologies to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration and had nothing to hide.
The quality of the magic machinery they produce is far inferior to that of the Xinfei brand magic machinery. In addition to the fact that the production technology of these ten chambers of commerce is not as good as that of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the most important reason is that they cut corners in order to save costs.
Take the small magic harvester that caused major problems this time as an example. The Xinfei brand small magic harvester uses special super-hard steel specially refined by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the price per ton exceeds two hundred gold coins.
However, the Hayata brand small magic harvester uses low-quality steel refined by the Detroit Chamber of Commerce, which is also one of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration. It has poor hardness, toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other indicators. It is far inferior to the special steel used in the Xinfei brand small magic harvester, and the price per ton is estimated to be no more than fifty gold coins.
The most common problems with the Hayata brand small magic harvester are parts damage, and the most serious shaft breakage, because the quality of the steel is too poor.
This report published in "Lampali Weekly" listed a series of detailed data given by Canby, and made a comprehensive comparison between the Xinfei brand small magic harvester and the Hayata brand small magic harvester.
Although the data is boring, it looks very distinct.
In comparison, the Hayata brand small magic harvester can undoubtedly be regarded as serious cutting corners. Of course the quality can't be good.
As soon as this conclusion came out, except for the occasional few newspapers that questioned the data given by Canby. No one will ever say a kind word for Hayata Shoyu again.
So less than a month after the bloody conflict in Bangta City, a series of boycotts of the Hayata Chamber of Commerce broke out in the Lampali Kingdom. All cities in the kingdom declared that they would no longer use any farmland produced by the Hayata Chamber of Commerce. Magical machinery.
After that, these activities developed into a boycott of any magic machinery produced by the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration.
In the eyes of everyone, the magic machinery produced by the Hayata Chamber of Commerce, which is also one of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration, is so bad, and the magic machinery produced by several other chambers of commerce will only be equally bad.
Moreover, before this, there had been many objections to the quality of the magic machinery products produced by several other chambers of commerce in various parts of the kingdom. Now they are just taking advantage of this momentum to expand their influence.
The official documents now in front of King Eric are official documents sent by the city lords of many cities in the kingdom, claiming that the Magic Industry Administration is required to audit the ten designated chambers of commerce and strictly enforce the quality of the magic machinery they produce. quality.
Otherwise, a large number of cities in the kingdom will directly refuse to introduce the magic machines produced by these chambers of commerce.
Among these official documents, there are some that are more direct.
For example, the Lord of Sewell City, Earl Satsuma, directly declared in an official document that Sewell City would not accept the management of the Magic Industry Administration in the future and would strongly support the development of the city's Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce.
There were eleven other cities that made the same choice as Sewell City, accounting for almost one-third of the Lampali Kingdom.
If we include other cities that submitted official documents, there is almost no city in the entire Lampali Kingdom that has expressed support for the Magic Industry Administration.
After glancing at the official documents in front of him, King Eric felt his head hurt again. He couldn't help but frown deeply, cursed in a low voice, and then felt deeply helpless.
Although he is now nominally the noble king of the Lampali Kingdom, there are very few things he can actually control.
Not to mention changing the attitudes of these cities and the noble lords who also protested, even if they were subordinate to the Kingdom Council such as the Magic Industry Administration, the Commerce Department, and the Agriculture Department, which were supposed to be under his command, he could not influence any of them.
"If Sevini had been allowed to be the king, would she have been much better off than I am now if she had the support of Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
King Eric smiled bitterly when he heard the familiar footsteps of Duke Stark outside the door.
