"Your Highness, these are the final financial statistics of the store. Please take a look."
Sevigny glanced at the final financial statistics report of the Sevigny Chamber of Commerce held in the hands of his archdeacon, sighed lightly, took it over, glanced at it, and gave a wry smile.
"I didn't expect that after just a few months of operation, I actually made thousands of gold coins. No wonder those people tried their best to drive out the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
The Archdeacon looked at Sevigny with some confusion, wondering why Her Royal Highness would mention the New Flying Chamber of Commerce after seeing these financial statements
Is it true that, as the rumors say, Her Royal Highness is actually close to the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and that is why she has been paying attention to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
"Take out all these thousands of gold coins to buy food, and then distribute it to the people in the villages outside Tag City. They suffered a flood some time ago, and this food should be able to help them survive this period. "Sevini said.
"Yes." The Archdeacon nodded in agreement, and then praised with a smile: "Your Highness, you are so kind. The people in those villages are not the people of our territory, and you actually think about them. Tag If the lord of the city knew about it, he would definitely feel extremely ashamed. ""But Your Majesty, Chief Feng Literary---" The Archdeacon paused, and finally swallowed back the words that had rushed to his throat.
Sevini glanced at him, with a hint of warning in his eyes, and waved his hand: "Okay. Go down and arrange these things."
The Archdeacon nodded vigorously. Withdrew.
I saw the figure of the Archdeacon disappearing outside the door. Sevini sighed quietly and smiled bitterly.
Closing the Sevigny Chamber of Commerce was certainly not her intention.
Originally, Sevini planned to use his own efforts to make the Sevini Chamber of Commerce a window for the forced out Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce, led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, to continue to maintain contact with the Lampali Kingdom, so as to continue to maintain this relationship.
But just some time ago, Eric took the initiative to summon her and had a long talk with her.
During the conversation, Eric made it clear to Sevini that he hoped she would not rashly interfere in the kingdom's internal affairs. Because this would make things very difficult for him as a king.
Although Sevini proposed that the Magic Industry Administration unite with the ten chambers of commerce that represent the interests of a group of nobles in the kingdom and squeeze out the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce, which has had a very bad impact on the Kingdom of Lampali, she did so Just trying to recover some losses. However, Eric also said that he is very aware of the current changes in the situation in the kingdom, and he is working hard to control the situation.
Eric hinted to Sevigny. He is now regaining real power bit by bit from the group of nobles headed by Duke Stark, striving to fully control the entire Lampali Kingdom. So I hope Sevini will not make any moves during this period, so as not to disrupt his arrangements.
Although Sevini did not completely agree with Eric's idea, she thought that Eric was sitting on the throne after all. As Eric's biological sister, of course she should strongly support him, so in the end she still Convinced by Eric.
Subsequently, Sevigny stopped all the business of the Sevigny Chamber of Commerce, and gradually closed all the stores of the Sevigny Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampali. At the same time, it gradually transferred the factories under its name to the ten designated by the Magic Industry Administration. Chamber of Commerce.
So far, all the efforts made by Sevigny through the Sevigny Chamber of Commerce have been in vain.
Compared with before the Sevini Chamber of Commerce was established, the Lampali Kingdom is now firmly controlled by the ten chambers of commerce, or the great nobles.
From Sevigny's perspective, the situation in the kingdom could only get worse.
This naturally filled Sevini with frustration.
She originally wanted to use her own power to change the situation in the entire kingdom, but she didn't expect that she had just started to take action and died midway.
Thinking of Xu Yi's "innocent" evaluation of her behavior before, Sevini couldn't help but smile bitterly again.
"I hope Eric can carry out his plan smoothly and regain control of the kingdom step by step." Sevini sighed softly, shook his head, and put the problem aside.
Due to the closure of the Sevigny Chamber of Commerce, many refugees who had previously been arranged to work in the Sevigny Chamber of Commerce needed a new place to go.
Of course Sevini would not send them back to their original territory to continue to be exploited by those lords.
But continuing to allow them to stay in their own territory also violated the rules among nobles, which could easily make the entire royal family the target of criticism, making Eric even more passive.
So Sevini thought about it and found that she could only ask Xu Yi for help again.
Fortunately, Xu Yi basically responded to Sevigny's request. After receiving Sevigny's request, he agreed to help her arrange for these refugees without saying a word.
Including the refugees who have continued to live in the Sevini territory during this period, the total number of refugees who have fled from other places in the Sevini territory now exceeds two thousand.
Even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce found it difficult to digest so many people at once. Xu Yi still united with dozens of other chambers of commerce in Heimi Wasteland to accept all these refugees.
However, most of these refugees had worked for a period of time in the magic machinery factories run by the noble lords in the territory, and had a certain level of skills. It was relatively simple to integrate into these chambers of commerce.
The issue that Sevigny needs to consider now is how to get a suitable identity for these refugees.
Although many refugees fled as whole families, some refugees still had relatives and friends in their hometowns. They would most likely return to the Lampali Kingdom in the future. If they were all sent out now. If you want to come back again. But he lost his legal status in the Lampali Kingdom.
This question is not too difficult for Sevigny. With her status, it would not be a problem to ask the Civil Affairs Department of the Kingdom Parliament for some legal citizenship of the Kingdom.
The only problem is that the number is a bit too much.
When they were considering whether they should divide into several groups to solve this problem, the door that had just been closed by the Archdeacon before leaving was suddenly pushed open.
Sevini raised his head in shock, only to find that the Archdeacon had gone and returned, and there was another person beside him.
This man seemed to be completely weak. He could barely stand up with the help of the Archdeacon, and his clothes were all in disarray. His hair was even more disheveled, and he looked no different from the refugees who had fled to Severny's private property.
But if you look carefully, you can still see that this person is fundamentally different from those refugees.
Although the clothes this man was wearing were messy and tattered, they were clearly made of very high-end fabrics, the workmanship was extremely fine, and the styles were quite novel. There was no way they were clothes that an ordinary refugee could afford.
Moreover, he has a slender figure, and even though most of his exposed skin is covered by dust and blood, it can still be seen that he is very fair and delicate, unlike those who are used to doing rough jobs. The refugees with strong builds and rough, dark skin were completely different.
"Your Highness." The Archdeacon called out to Sevigny, and was about to help the man sit down on a seat beside him.
Sevigny was wondering who this person was. Why did the Archdeacon look so familiar to him and bring him here directly? But when the man seemed to hear the Archdeacon's voice, he suddenly raised his head.
The eyes of Sevigny collided with Sevigny. Sevigny just showed a surprised expression, but the man suddenly got the strength from nowhere. He broke free from the support of the Archdeacon, threw himself directly in front of Sevigny, knelt down with a plop, and He hugged Sevini's calf and cried loudly.
"Your Highness! Help me! Help me! Our whole family... were all killed by those damn guys... I was almost... almost killed... Save me..."
Sevini was taken aback, and quickly moved over to help him up. He stared at his dirty face that was covered with dirt, but now had traces of tears, and confirmed that he had not misjudged this person just now. It is indeed Jarvan, the youngest son of Steward Delmar.
Because Steward Delma had already served Lampali XIII personally when Sevigny was still very young, and his youngest son Jiawen happened to be about the same age as Sevigny, so the two had been playmates together since childhood, Sevigny and Jarvan They are quite familiar with each other.
Although the relationship between the two became much weaker due to the gap in status when they grew up, they still met frequently.
Last year, Sevini personally attended the funeral of Steward Delma, chatted with Jiawen for a while, and comforted him to live a good life.
At that time, although Jiawen seemed a little depressed because his father had just passed away, he still had the standard image of a noble nobleman.
But he didn't expect that a year later, he would become so depressed now.
What surprised Sevigny even more was what he said.
"What did you say? Your whole family was... killed?" Sevini looked at Jiawen in shock. "You mean being killed? Who has the courage to kill everyone in your family?"
Jiawen shook his head tremblingly: "I... I don't know... I was sleeping well, but suddenly I was woken up by someone. Then I saw a group of people rushing into the house, and my family members were killed. I... I was still killed by the servants. I hid it by stuffing it into a secret passage..."
Seeing that Jiawen's words were unclear, Sevini couldn't help but frown.
"Don't you have any clue?"
Jiawen shook his head with a confused look on his face: "I don't know... I don't know anything... No! There should be clues in this! My father told me before he died that if something happens to the family, let me find you and bring him back." These things are left to you.”
Jiawen fumbled around in his arms and took out a small package wrapped in thick brown paper.
The outside of the brown paper was stained with sweat and blood and looked dirty, but Sevini snatched it from Jiawen's hand without any scruples.
There must be something fishy about the fact that Steward Dema would express these words to Jiawen's family before he died.
When he opened the brown paper, he found that it contained a sealed letter, a bound booklet, and a small bottle, which contained half a bottle of an unknown liquid with a hint of purple.
Sevigny picked up the vial and looked at it. He couldn't tell what was going on, so he put it aside, thought about it, and opened the seal of the envelope.
After opening the letter and taking a glance at it, Sevigny's eyes suddenly shrank.
