However, compared to his anger and dissatisfaction with the Zhenxi Army's neglect of precautions, Xu Yi was more concerned about the reasons for the Sak Kingdom's action.
The massacre of five orc tribes would naturally have a huge impact on the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland, but for the Sark Kingdom, Xu Yi could not see what the significance was.
It is impossible for the Sak Kingdom to have enough to eat and nothing to do, so it would risk a head-on battle with the Zhenxi Army and forcefully break through the fortifications, enter the Black Rice Wasteland and massacre five people who have no impact on the Sak Kingdom. Orc tribe.
However, Xu Yi has never been able to understand the significance of this action of the Sak Kingdom.
If we analyze purely from the results, it is believed that the person who suffered the greatest losses from this operation, besides the orc tribe, was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because of this incident, the mood of more than 10,000 orc workers employed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become very unstable, which has seriously affected their work efficiency, causing a certain decline in the production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the past few days. .
However, Xu Yi did not think that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was worthy of the Sark Kingdom's attention, and that it was willing to take such a big risk just to attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So there is another more reasonable explanation, that is, the Sack Kingdom is trying to use this operation to evaluate the defensive strength and strength of the Zhenxi Army in the Black Rice Wasteland. Maybe in the future, the Sark Kingdom will have the opportunity to invade from the direction of the Black Rice Wasteland, and then invade the Lan∮♂∮♂Feng∮♂Wen∮♂Xue, ↘.△x.ne↓t Pali Kingdom from the west.
But if the Sak Kingdom considers it this way, it seems a bit too whimsical to Xu Yi.
It only took less than two years for the Lampali Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to cooperate closely since Sevini ascended the throne. This gave the two countries a completely new look.
According to the statistics. Just last year alone. The grain production in the Lampali Kingdom increased to 6.8 million tons, surpassing the previous record of 5.9 million tons in one fell swoop, and even jumped to become the highest grain production among several surrounding countries.
The current food production in the Lampali Kingdom can not only easily meet the daily needs of everyone in the kingdom, but can even store a large amount of food while also having the ability to export a large amount of food.
Last year, the Lampali Kingdom gained more than 600,000 gold coins from exporting grain alone.
Compared with the export of various magic machines, the benefits from food export are not enough.
According to statistics, within the last year. The various magic machine factories built jointly by the Lampali Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have produced more than seven million units of various household magic machines. In addition to the 2.6 million units digested within the kingdom, the remaining nearly 5 million units of various household magic machines were all exported through various channels to other countries except the Kingdom of Lulson, the Principality of Drake and the Principality of Mirando. Go and bring terrifying profits of more than six million gold coins to the Lampali Kingdom.
From these two aspects of income, the Lampali Kingdom's finance received an astonishing tax revenue of more than two million gold coins.
In addition, among the various taxes collected within the kingdom, the kingdom's treasury also received more than three million gold coins.
So last year, just the first year that Sevini ascended the throne, the finances of the kingdoms of Lampa and Lampa experienced a terrifying improvement, with the total tax revenue exceeding six million gold coins.
Such an astonishing financial revenue is the first time in the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Lampali Kingdom.
As the saying goes, money makes things easier.
In the past, the financial revenue of the Lampali Kingdom was always stretched. Therefore, there was no way to invest too much money in the most critical military aspect, so the Lampali Kingdom was suppressed by the Sark Kingdom in every aspect. Unable to resist.
Now that the financial revenue of the Lampali Kingdom has improved significantly, the rich Lampali Kingdom has invested heavily in the army.
Last year, the general's fee increased from the measly 300,000 gold coins to 1.3 million gold coins, a full million gold coins more!
The consequence of this increased investment is that the main legions directly under the royal family of the Lampali Kingdom are now all equipped with brand-new equipment, and are equipped with a large number of military magic machines purchased from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
In the Zhenbei Army, this point is even more obvious.
The heavily armed Zhenbei Army fought several battles with the Greedy Wolf Legion of the Sac Kingdom on the northern border between the two countries, and each time they won a complete victory.
Now that the Zhenbei Army is guarding the Murto Mountains, the army of the Sac Kingdom does not dare to cross the border, let alone invade the Kingdom of Lampali as before.
And it was precisely because the military strength of both sides had reversed that Xu Yi was confused by the Sak Kingdom's sudden action against the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland.
It’s good that the Sark Kingdom can hold its own territory now. Are you still thinking of invading the Lampali Kingdom like before? How senseless is this.
Xu Yi was immersed in thinking about the actions of the Sac Kingdom. Count Revere was also a little embarrassed by Xu Yi's question just now, and the car was silent for a while.
But not long after, the body of the magic car suddenly shook violently, waking Xu Yi out of his reverie.
Feeling the pain in his butt caused by falling back into the seat, and the intermittent bumps of the car now, Xu Yi frowned and looked back, and found that there were many large and small potholes on the Luoyu Highway that he had just passed. No wonder it's such a rough ride.
"Lord City Lord, the last time I came here, the road condition of Luoyu Highway was still very good. How come it has become like this in less than a few months?" Xu Yi couldn't help but ask.
Count Revere also looked back, his expression even more embarrassing.
"Um... During this period, the magic freight locomotives used by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce to transport ore always use this road, which is why the Luoyu Highway was crushed."
"The ore truck of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi thought for a while and understood. "It's shipped to the Falcao Steel Plant in the north of the city, right?"
"Yes. President Xu, this steelmaking plant was built through the cooperation between the Falcao Chamber of Commerce and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You shouldn't forget it," Count Revere said.
"Of course I remember. This is the first steelmaking plant built by other chambers of commerce besides our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is somewhat similar to the magic air conditioning production line I sent this time." Xu Yi glanced at the road again. He frowned and said, "But it won't work if the ore truck crushes Luoyu Highway like this. Lord City Lord, haven't you considered repairing the road surface?"
"Under study." Count Revere nodded. "And this time I not only plan to repair Luoyu Highway, but also take the opportunity to widen Luoyu Highway to at least eight lanes. Because Luoyu Highway carries the most important transportation responsibility of our Bangta City, the previous road surface It’s too narrow and can’t meet the demand.”
Xu Yi laughed: "There is no way. When our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce built this Luoyu Highway in the past, we didn't have much money and couldn't build it too wide. But Lord City Lord, you can realize this problem now. It's really Make people appreciate it.”
"This is my duty as the city lord." Count Revere smiled. "Speaking of building roads, President Xu, do you know the decree recently issued by Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Is it a proposal to strengthen road transportation in the Lampali Kingdom?" Xu Yi asked back.
"Yes. Her Majesty the Queen plans to build a total of thirteen new roads in the Kingdom next year as the main roads throughout the country. In addition, she is also preparing to repair or expand the remaining thirty-nine roads to strengthen the Kingdom's roads. Transportation network. This plan has been initially approved by the Kingdom’s Parliament and I believe it will be officially adopted soon.”…
"This is a good thing." Xu Yi shrugged. "After all, now that the Lampali Kingdom has money, Her Majesty the Queen can do a lot of things."
"But there is still a very important issue in this plan that has not been resolved." Count Reeves looked at Xu Yi with bright eyes.
Seeing Count Reeves's eyes, Xu Yi burst into laughter.
"I'm telling you, Lord City Lord, are you specially sent by Her Majesty the Queen to find out more about me? Given the relationship between Her Majesty and I, is there anything I can't tell you directly?"
Count Reeves showed a strange smile, then coughed slightly and said seriously: "The problem with this plan is that building, repairing, and expanding roads require a large amount of cement, steel bars and other materials. Steel bars can be easily solved. , because the steelmaking plant of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce is now able to provide finished steel. Although the quality is not high, it is still enough for road construction, but cement... "
"No problem. I think it's too troublesome to transport cement all the way from the Principality of Standing, so I plan to build several cement processing plants in the Kingdom of Lampali." Xu Yidao.
Earl Reeves was startled, then overjoyed.
He originally followed Her Majesty the Queen's instructions to test Xu Yi's tone, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to agree!
"Don't look at me like that." Xu Yi glanced at Count Reeves, then his eyes drifted in the direction of Anvilmar City, shook his head and said: "Tell Her Majesty the Queen for me that I helped the Kingdom of Lampali establish a magic industrial system. Her original intention will not change, so she doesn’t have to worry too much.”
Count Reeves took a deep look at Xu Yi with a strange expression.
"President Xu, there is no need for me to convey these words to Her Majesty the Queen. It is best for you to tell her yourself."
"Tell her personally?" Xu Yi was a little surprised.
"Yes." Count Reeves' expression suddenly became serious. He took out a pink envelope from his arms and handed it to Xu Yi's hand. "President Xu, this is a private letter that Her Majesty the Queen asked me to give to you. Her Majesty the Queen asked me to tell you that if you are free, I hope you can go to Anvilmar City. Her Majesty the Queen wants to talk to you... cough... Drink tea and chat..."
Seeing the slightly weird smile that Count Reeves finally couldn't help but reveal, Xu Yi was stunned. He looked down at the letter in his hand, which still seemed to have a trace of fragrance, and the image of Sevigny, although it didn't look like it, came to his mind. She is not determined to be beautiful, but her delicate face always makes people feel at ease when looking at her, and her mood becomes extremely complicated in an instant.
