Count Marfa's territory was not the only one that was in chaos.
There were a total of thirteen noble lords who had previously rejected the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's proposal to erect a magic signal tower, and then rejected it again when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce proposed it again. Like Count Marfa, they were also announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to completely sever cooperation.
And the impact this had on them was exactly the same as Count Marfa's, but the degree was milder and more severe.
But regardless of whether the impact was light or heavy, these noble lords, like Count Marfa, knew very well that there was no way they could compete with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
There is only one choice waiting for them, and that is to listen to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, there are still people trying to remedy this chaotic situation.
Angkru is the most anxious one among them.
"President Xu, why did you do this?" Anklu looked at Xu Yi seriously, with a hint of reproach in his eyes and a heartbroken tone in his tone. "Do you know that because your New Flying Chamber of Commerce unilaterally elected to abolish the cooperation with the lords headed by Count Marfa, now their territories are all in chaos!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, shrugged and said, "Of course I know."
"You know! Then why are you still doing this?" Angkru emphasized his tone. "Countless civilians in their territory originally gained a new life because of their cooperation with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but now they are destroyed because of you. Do you... really have the heart to do this?"
"If you ask me if I can't bear it, it's better to ask those lords if they can't bear it. Obviously, as long as they agree to continue to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce, they can remain the same. It can also benefit the people under their names. But now because of Their selfishness ruins everything. I think you'd better question them first before questioning me."
"Selfish?" Angkru frowned. "President Xu, I know their concerns very well, and I don't think their thoughts are selfish. On the contrary, what you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are doing this time is truly selfish. You are so vigorously promoting the erection of magic signal towers. Do you just want to bring the entire Principality of Standing under your control? "
"First of all, I must make an explanation to you. Believe it or not, this magic signal tower is not the same thing as the magic towers in ancient times that you and the lords are worried about that can completely control other people. Secondly. I also I have to point out a fact to you. Angkru, do you really think that the current Principality of Standing can truly get rid of the influence of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"
Ankru suddenly fell silent.
After staring at Xu Yi for a while, Anklu slowly shook his head.
"No, I know very well that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is very important to the current Principality of Standing. It is precisely because of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce that the people in the principality can live an unprecedentedly good life, and the entire principality has become far stronger than before. . I must admit that in the past few years since your New Flying Chamber of Commerce came to the principality, the entire principality has been filled with a positive spirit from top to bottom. I have never seen the people in the principality so full of vitality and enthusiasm for life. eager."
Speaking of which. Anglu paused and changed the subject.
"But... President Xu. After all, the principality is the principality of our Standing people. If you insist on trying to control the entire principality in your hands, then even if you try to cause the entire principality to suffer losses, I will definitely fight to the end!"
Xu Yi glanced at the impassioned Anklu and sneered.
"Fight to the end? Haha, Anklu, I have always thought that you are indeed a politician who has ambitions and ideals in his heart and is willing to consider the entire Principality of Standing. Now that I hear you say this, I finally discovered that you After all, he was still corrupted by the power in his hands, and he was no longer the same Ankru who was willing to fight for a better life for the people of the Principality of Standing. "
Anklu's face changed slightly: "What do you mean by this?"
"You said that you are going to fight to the end even if the entire principality suffers losses? I am very strange, what are you fighting for? I have just said that erecting a magic signal tower will not achieve the terrible control of people's hearts that you are worried about. The consequences, but those lords reacted violently, and your reaction was even more violent than them. Why? "
"What you are worried about is actually that the Principality of Standing is completely under my control and you have lost the power in your hands?"
"Why do you say you would rather let the entire principality suffer losses in order to fight? The people of the Standing Principality live a good life now because of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but you are afraid of losing the power in your hands and would rather The lives of my people have been seriously affected and you have to oppose me so fiercely, Angkru, you have disappointed me so much.”
"I didn't!" Faced with Xu Yide's rebuke, Anklu's expression suddenly became extremely excited. He waved his arms vigorously and retorted loudly: "I really don't want the entire principality to fall into your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or your It’s under control, but it has nothing to do with my personal power. I just hope that this principality remains the country of our Standing people and should not fall into the hands of an outsider like you!”
Xu Yi frowned and looked at Anklu for a while, looking a little strange.
"Anklu, I don't remember you being so stupid before. You can just think about this in your mind, but now you actually come to me and say it, what are you thinking? Is it because you have been the Speaker of the National Assembly for several years? Has time allowed you to be completely corrupted by power and your brain has been hollowed out? "
"I'm just speaking from my heart." Anklu breathed heavily and said angrily: "The reason why I reached an agreement with you in private to help your New Flying Chamber of Commerce gain a foothold in the Principality of Standing is because I felt that Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can make the entire principality a better place, but now I regret it very much. What I did was just inviting the wolf into the house!"
Xu Yi shook his head: "I don't think our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will do anything like a wolf."
"Isn't that what you're forcing these lords to do this time?" Anklu asked loudly.
Xu Yi let out a harsh sneer: "These lords are not ordinary citizens of the Principality of Standing. What they think is none of my business. Angkru, if you say something like this, it proves that you have completely changed." In the past, you were thinking about the lives of the people of the Principality of Standing, but now you are speaking for these noble lords. Your butt is very crooked now."
Anklu looked suffocated, and then argued: "These noble lords represent the people of the entire principality! If you force them and plunge their territory into chaos, you are harming those people!"
"Really?" Xu Yi smiled slightly, took out a document from the table beside him, took a look at it, and then threw it to Anklu. "The root cause of what happened this time is mainly the profound misunderstanding of the magic signal tower by those lords. But where did these misunderstandings come from? Angkru, are you curious?"
Anklu took the file in surprise, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed.
Xu Yi stared at him and kept sneering.
"Anklu, you are really deliberate in order to ensure your control over the principality. You actually started to contact these lords privately more than a year ago to ensure that they will do all kinds of things to our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. All you do is hope that one day you can control our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? It's a pity that you overestimate your abilities. The lords in the principality have gained a lot of benefits from cooperating with our Chamber of Commerce, but you have. You can't bring them the same thing, so how can they be completely on the same page with you? You have to know that I didn't collect this information deliberately."
Anklu stared at the various information on the document in his hand, and countless drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The information above is all about his private contacts with various noble lords in the duchy for more than a year. It contains detailed records of his private contacts with these noble lords and his attempts to unite these noble lords to oppose Xinfei. All matters of the Chamber of Commerce, even the lords he met on which month and day, are recorded in detail, which shows how detailed the information is.
Many details are believed to be known only to the two parties involved, but now they are clearly recorded in this information. So there is only one explanation for this, and that is, as Xu Yi said just now, this is what he met. Provided by the object itself.
Thinking of this, Anklu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
At first, he followed Xu Yi's suggestion to establish a parliament to replace the management responsibilities of the Grand Duke's Palace, and when he was appointed as the speaker of the parliament, Angkru was very happy, feeling that the Principality of Standing would definitely have the leadership of the parliament and the investment of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Become stronger quickly.
In the past few years, the Principality of Standing has indeed become stronger as he expected, and the lives of the people of the Principality have become better and better. The entire Principality is full of things that he had never imagined before. The positive atmosphere made him very happy.
However, as time went by, Anklu discovered that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had more and more influence on the entire principality. It could even be said that every place, every person, and everything in the principality was inseparable from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Impact.
In comparison, his presence as the Speaker of Parliament is getting weaker and weaker. Most of the time, he is just a puppet, handling government affairs that are not important to him.
Anklu is an ambitious person, and naturally he is not willing to continue like this.
So he began to quietly contact those noble lords who also had ambitions and were wary of the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in private, trying to get rid of the current situation.
However, Anklu didn't expect that the noble lords in the principality were not completely aligned with him, and would actually inform Xu Yi!
But it’s right to think about it. Cooperating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can bring huge benefits to these noble lords and make their lives far more nourishing than before. But what can they gain from cooperating with Anklu
After figuring this out, Angkru suddenly felt despair.
He looked at Xu Yi with a mocking smile across his face, put down his hands slumped, and sighed deeply.
He knew very well that starting from today, the fate of the entire Principality of Standing might be rewritten. (To be continued...)
