Facts have proved that what happened to Khafre and the three men in Lalu City was not a special case.
After the Lampali Kingdom and the Kandra Empire signed a new mutual trade agreement, Khafre was certainly not the only businessman who could see the business opportunities.
In the past few months, a large number of merchants from the Lampali Kingdom have poured into the Kandra Empire with large quantities of goods from the Lampali Kingdom.
With these useful and cheap goods in the Lampali Kingdom, these merchants have all made a lot of money in the Candela Empire.
Originally, this situation would continue as a matter of course, but since May, there have been more than ten incidents in which merchants from the Lampali Kingdom were arrested, their goods confiscated, and then deported in the southern province of the Kandla Empire. attracted the attention of many people.
Although the explanation given by the officials of the southern province for these more than ten incidents was that these merchants from the Lampali Kingdom violated some management regulations of the Kandela Empire, and even directly violated the laws of the empire, they also gave Various evidences to prove this.
But people with a discerning eye can easily see that the Southern Province is obviously deliberately targeting these merchants from the Lampali Kingdom.
Because the same situation against the merchants of the Lampali Kingdom occasionally occurred in other parts of the Kandra Empire, but it was not as continuous and dense as in the southern provinces.
Moreover, these incidents clearly have the official influence of the southern province, making it difficult not to think that they were deliberately targeted.
But the question is, why did the southern province deliberately target the merchants of the Lampali Kingdom
This question was something that the Lampali Kingdom wanted to find out very much, and Queen Sevini even simply revised a letter and sent it directly to the Commercial Department of the Candela Empire. Ask them to give an explanation.
However, this letter received a response from the Candela Empire. But there was only a letter from Marquis Descartes, Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire.
in reply. Marquis Descartes said that what happened in the southern province was just an accident and did not represent the attitude of the Candela Empire. Therefore, he hoped that the Lampali Kingdom would not be too nervous. The Candela Empire was still willing to trade with the Lampali Kingdom. …
Although the meaning of Marquis Descartes's letter seemed correct, his inner tone and attitude showed a clear lack of concern.
After all, it was Her Majesty the Queen, Sevini, who personally wrote a letter to question the Lampali Kingdom. Although the Candela Empire does not necessarily require His Majesty the Emperor to reply in person, at least it should be done by someone with more weight.
And at least the Candela Empire must give a reasonable explanation for this, instead of being so relaxed and indifferent as shown in this letter from Marquis Descartes.
This does not show even the slightest sincerity in solving the problem.
"Ha, do you think the Candela Empire really regards your Lampali Kingdom as an equal? It's obvious that they just don't want to make more enemies in the previous situation. And now when they discover that Luersun After the kingdom still cannot pose a threat to itself, this sense of superiority belonging to the great empire inevitably emerges. "
"As if this has nothing to do with you." Sevini rolled her eyes at Xu Yi angrily. "Since the Candela Empire will specifically target the merchants of our Lampali Kingdom, of course they will also target your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Do you really think you can still be so relaxed?"
"Of course, why not?" Xu Yi shrugged. "To tell you the truth, the Kandela Empire is not wrong about one thing. This action against your Lampali Kingdom merchants. If nothing else, it should be entirely the arbitrary actions of the southern province of the Kandela Empire, not the entire Kandra Empire. the meaning of."
"Why are you so sure?" Sevini looked at Xu Yi doubtfully.
"Because... ahem... the governor of this southern province is the Duke of Windsor. And he... has some personal enmity with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is not surprising that he would deliberately target the merchants of your Lampali Kingdom, because most of the people you merchants brought there They are all magic machines and related things," Xu Yi replied.
"Do you have a personal grudge against the Duke of Windsor?" Sevigny looked incredulous. "Your Chamber of Commerce has never entered the Candela Empire. How could you become enmity with the Governor of the Southern Province?"
"It's a long story..." Xu Yi smiled helplessly, thinking that it wasn't that we wanted to make enemies, but that the other party came to us to make enemies. We can't blame them.
"Okay, let's get back to business. Sevini, I have suggested to you before that you let the official of the Lampali Kingdom come forward to organize these Lampali Kingdom businessmen who have gone to the Candela Empire to do business. This will allow them to have a unified command, which will not only make it easier for them to help each other, but will also be helpful for your Lampali Kingdom to strengthen the management of these merchants. It is a pity that you refused at the time. "
"Well... At that time, I was just worried that many of these businessmen had the support of the nobles in the kingdom. If I came forward, it would probably arouse the vigilance of the nobles in the kingdom, which would be bad. Looking at it now, These nobles can't even handle these simple things, which really disappoints me," Sevini sighed softly.
"You can't blame them entirely." Xu Yi shook his head. "The Kingdom of Lampali has regulations that prevent nobles from doing business directly, so it's hard for them to directly use their power. Besides, they are just some nobles after all and cannot represent the Kingdom of Lampali. Do you still expect to encounter such a thing? Can they fight against the Candela Empire?"
"Indeed... this was my oversight." Sevini nodded honestly. "Then Xu Yi, what do you mean..."
"Our Chamber of Commerce has officially reached a cooperation agreement with Prince Frank, and is preparing to enter the Candela Empire next month and open a magic motorcycle factory on Prince Frank's private property. I want to follow the previous model on the private property of the Marquis of Southgaard. , and once again invite the major chambers of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom to invest and build factories together with our chamber of commerce," Xu Yizheng said. "However, those who can go with our chamber of commerce can only be chambers of commerce that are officially recognized by the Kingdom of Lampali."
Sevini's expression changed. There was a hint of tenderness in Xu Yi's eyes.
"Xu Yi. Thank you for helping me."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not just here to help you. The situation in the Candela Empire is much more complicated than that of the Malo Empire. I don't want to run over there with a group of stragglers with different ideas. That will only cause trouble for myself." Xu Yi said. He waved his hand.
"Really?" Sevini smiled slightly, but did not continue to ask, but thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will help you review these chambers of commerce. By the way, the thirteen chambers of commerce that were specially selected before There is an arrangement now. Do you want to include them? After all, they have some roots in the Candela Empire."
"Yes. They were originally in my plan, and they may have been able to do more than other chambers of commerce in the past." Xu Yi showed a smile that seemed a bit cunning.
"Okay, let's settle this matter for now." Sevini paused, and suddenly asked: "By the way... Xu Yi, you just said that your Chamber of Commerce has a personal enmity with the Governor of the Southern Province of the Kandela Empire, and then I dare There must be many people in the Kandra Empire who are very dissatisfied and even hostile to your new Flying Chamber of Commerce due to the incident in the Luersun Kingdom. Are you sure that you can successfully open up the situation in the Kandra Empire?"
"You have to figure something out." The smile on Xu Yi's face became full of confidence, even a little arrogant. "This time. It was the Candela Empire who begged our Chamber of Commerce to go, not us who begged them."
Speaking of this, Xu Yi suddenly seemed to have thought of something funny and chuckled.
"Hey, Sevini, I was comparing the Malo Empire and the Candela Empire in my mind just now, and suddenly I felt that the Candela Empire was so stupid. Originally, this time they suddenly announced that they would establish a cooperative relationship with your Lampali Kingdom. I thought this was They made a great move, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, they would start to suppress the merchants of the Lampali Kingdom. What should I say... Could this be the legend? No zuo, no die?"
Sevini looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, wondering why this guy was always so confident when facing the Candela Empire, even... full of superiority
This huge empire seemed not worthy of attention at all in his eyes.
This is really strange.
Because Xu Yi's attitude towards the Malo Empire, which is also one of the two major empires in the mainland, is obviously different.
Thinking of this, Sevini suddenly thought of a question.
"By the way, Xu Yi, military representatives from the Malo Empire and the Candela Empire appeared at the main base of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce at the same time, and they seemed to have met each other. How did you deal with it later?"
"Nothing was done about it. They all went back to their homes to do whatever they were supposed to do."
"You know that's not what I asked." Sevini showed a rare expression of coquettishness and glared at Xu Yi. "I'm asking you about the follow-up, how to deal with it?"
"Follow-up... We have signed an agreement with the Maro Empire's military department and will sell 50,000 magic repeating crossbows, 3,000 individual magic rocket launchers, 2,000 large cargo magic locomotives, and five magic airships to the Maro Empire. . As for the Candela Empire, that’s all I told you just now.
"The Malo Empire is really a big deal." Sevini couldn't help but gasped, and then realized something was wrong. "Wait! Five magic airships? Xu Yi, you haven't delivered all of our one hundred magic airships yet!"
Xu Yi chuckled: "Anyway, we are still missing you by dozens of ships. It doesn't matter if we deduct five ships to open the eyes of those guys in the Maro Empire first..."
"You!" Sevini stood up beautifully, as if she wanted to be angry, but then she laughed again. "Well, you have to compensate me!"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that Sevini had become more and more cunning since he ascended the throne.
"Okay, Your Majesty the Queen, please tell me your request. As long as I can do it, I promise I will never refuse."
"Really?" Sevini narrowed his eyes, and his eyes curved like crescent moons. (To be continued...)
