After lunch, a delegation from the Luersun Kingdom quietly arrived at the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After the resettlement and reception, the head of the delegation, Duke Boris, Speaker of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Luersun, and the two deputy heads were invited to Xu Yi's private manor.
"President Xu, this is my first time coming to the Principality of Standing. What I saw along the way is indeed more famous than meeting. It is far more amazing than what I imagined." As soon as he sat down, Duke Boris Then he smiled and complimented.
Xu Yi looked at Duke Boris, who was smiling and extremely polite, and felt a little funny in his heart.
When he went to the Kingdom of Luersun for inspection before, he met twice with the Duke, who was a distinguished and highly respected Duke in the Kingdom of Luersun. However, during the two meetings, Duke Boris did not give him a good look. .
Now, not only did he take the initiative to lead the delegation to the Principality of Standing, he even showed such an almost flattering look to Xu Yi. The gap was really obvious.
The reason for such a significant change is of course related to the purpose of his visit this time.
Although the Kingdom of Lursun has continuously repelled the invasion of the Candela Empire and made other countries on the entire Sainz continent look at the Kingdom of Lursun with admiration, this does not mean that the Kingdom of Lursun can defeat Candela. empire.
Although the Candela Empire did not continue to organize the third invasion out of caution, the Candela Empire, which attached great importance to the Kingdom of Luxun, deployed heavy troops on the border between the two countries to defend it to the death, leading the Kingdom of Luxun to the Candela Empire. All passages in this direction are completely blocked.
At the same time, the Candela Empire also officially listed the Luersun Kingdom as a hostile country. And called on other countries in the mainland to implement a unanimous blockade of the Luersun Kingdom.
Because of the threat from the Candela Empire. Except because it is close to the Malo Empire. In addition to the several countries that supported the Maro Empire, almost all other countries close to the Luersun Kingdom agreed.
Even the Lampali Kingdom, which had a good relationship with the Luersun Kingdom before and secretly helped the Luersun Kingdom in the previous invasion of the Candela Empire, did not raise any objections.
Of course, this is mainly because the Kingdom of Lampali and the Candela Empire have signed a mutual trade and cooperation agreement. The Candela Empire now lists the Kingdom of Lampali as an ally, so it is naturally impossible for the Kingdom of Lampali to continue to have a close relationship with the Kingdom of Lulsha. .
Because those countries that support the Malo Empire and oppose the Candela Empire are more than a thousand kilometers away from the Luersun Kingdom, so the current Luersun Kingdom can be said to be almost completely isolated.
The only exception is the Principality of Standing.
Regarding the blockade proposed by the Candela Empire against the Kingdom of Luersun. The Kingdom of Standing has not given a positive response, but continues to trade with the Kingdom of Luersun as before. It seems that it does not take the warnings and threats of the Kandra Empire into consideration at all.
Now the Kingdom of Luersun has come to the door, of course hoping to get some help from the Principality of Standing to help them deal with the blockade brought by the Kandra Empire.
This is why the standards of this delegation are so high. The leader of the delegation is actually Duke Boris, the Speaker of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Luersun. Duke Boris is so polite after seeing Xu Yi.
"Your Excellency, you have given me the reward." Xu Yi smiled and said. "I wonder what the scene is like in the Luersun Kingdom now?"
Upon hearing this rhetorical question, the expressions of Duke Boris and the two deputy captains beside him instantly became extremely ugly.
Duke Boris laughed dryly, shook his head and said: "Not very good. President Xu. I think you should be very clear about the current situation. Because of the blockade of the Candela Empire, the situation in the kingdom has been very seriously affected. Recently. In the past few months, the kingdom's exports of goods have been almost zero, and many businessmen in the kingdom have gone bankrupt, and many have even committed suicide."
"Yeah..." Count Gandall, one of the deputy leaders and one of the deputy directors of the Luersun Kingdom's Commercial Department, sighed deeply. "The commercial taxes in the kingdom have dropped by at least 60% in recent months. If this continues, the kingdom's finances this year may be unimaginable. All planned plans for next year may be shelved as a result, which will be very detrimental to the entire kingdom. "
"Not only in terms of business taxes, but also people's livelihood is actually the most severely affected. Although with the magic farm machinery and fertilizers, the kingdom's food production is guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about famine. But in addition, the kingdom's urgently needed Various supplies have become severely scarce due to the blockade.”
The other deputy leader is Earl Unker, Director of the Civil Welfare Department of the Kingdom of Luersun, and his concerns are naturally different from those of the Director of the Commerce Department.
"Currently, the most serious problem is medicine. In the past, most of our medicines in the Luersun Kingdom relied on medicinal herbs imported from other countries. Now due to the blockade, many key medicinal herbs can no longer be purchased. We rely solely on the Kingdom's medicines. The herbs are far from enough to solve the problem and..."
Having said this, Earl Unker looked gloomy, and there was even a trace of tears in his eyes.
"Last month there was a serious flood in the southeastern part of the kingdom, which was also accompanied by an outbreak of plague. When we left the kingdom, more than 200 people had died due to the plague. If the drug problem cannot be solved immediately, I am afraid that the number of deaths will only increase. many… "
Duke Boris and Earl Gandall also had heavy faces and melancholy expressions, confirming what Earl Unker said was true.
Xu Yi was slightly startled.
Although he knew that the Luersun Kingdom was currently being greatly affected by the blockade of the Candela Empire, he did not expect that it had reached such a serious point, which really surprised him.
"President Xu..."
Duke Boris was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Yi raising his hand.
"I will arrange for the Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet to deliver a shipment of herbs to your country as soon as possible. This is my aid to the people of your country who are suffering from the plague."
Duke Boris and the other three were slightly startled, then overjoyed.
Count Unke excitedly held Xu Yi's hand: "Really? Great! President Xu, if we can have enough herbs, we can save many people!"
Xu Yi secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that no matter whether the three people in front of him were acting or not, the disaster they said could not be faked, because this kind of thing was not easy to hide. As long as Xu Yi was willing to inquire, it would be very easy to find out. Know.
In the face of such a serious disaster, saving people is obviously the most important thing, and any other issues can be put aside.
What also made him sigh was that although the Luersun Kingdom was able to defeat the Candela Empire on the frontal battlefield, its overall national strength was still far behind that of the Candela Empire, so that it was now targeted by the Candela Empire. After encountering a comprehensive blockade, the country even Even the basic livelihood of the people has become a big problem.
"Well... President Xu... the kingdom is currently facing some financial difficulties, so the cost of this ship of herbs... Well, I'm afraid I can't pay it immediately. But don't worry, use..." Earl Gandall suddenly said with embarrassment.
Xu Yi shook his head: "As I said just now, this is aid to the people of your country. It is free in itself and does not require you to pay anything. In addition, I will also have people transport some daily necessities to the place. You can arrange for someone to take it with you."
The three of them looked at each other. Duke Boris nodded and said sincerely: "President Xu, the assistance provided by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time will be forever remembered by us in the Luersun Kingdom. We..."
Xu Yi raised his hand again and interrupted him.
"Your Excellency, you two, I need to declare something. This free assistance will be provided in my own name and has nothing to do with our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. I hope you understand."
The three of them were all startled, and the expressions on their faces became a little ugly.
The free assistance provided in Xu Yi's private name and the free assistance provided in the name of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have very different meanings.
Xu Yi had expressed his assistance without hesitation before, and they thought that the purpose of this trip could be easily achieved.
Now Xu Yi suddenly said such a sentence, but they immediately understood that their task was still very difficult.
Thinking of this, Duke Boris took a deep breath and regained his composure. After nodding to Earl Gandall and Earl Unker, he turned to Xu Yi and said seriously: "President Xu, this time we are traveling far from the kingdom. I came here because I have something very important to discuss with your Chamber of Commerce.”
Duke Boris deliberately emphasized the words "Your Chamber of Commerce", and the meaning was very clear.
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Please speak."
Seeing that Xu Yi showed his intention to negotiate, the three Dukes of Boris breathed a sigh of relief.
"President Xu, first of all, on behalf of the Luersun Kingdom, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude for your free assistance just now."
"It's nothing, it's just something a normal person should do."
Duke Boris nodded and continued: "However, President Xu, you now have a certain understanding of the situation in the kingdom. What I want to say is that relying solely on your personal free assistance can only solve the problem. It is a temporary problem, but there is no way to fundamentally solve all problems.”
"Of course. My power alone is limited after all."
"But the power of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is far greater than that of you alone." Duke Boris looked directly into Xu Yi's eyes and said solemnly.
"So your Luersun Kingdom hopes to get assistance from our New Flying Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi smiled. "Your Majesty the Duke, if I'm not afraid of making you laugh, we are a chamber of commerce after all. Whatever we do, we need to see if we can get enough benefits. Of course we can assist your Kingdom of Luersun, but it depends on whether you can come up with enough The conditions impressed us.”
Duke Boris took a deep look at Xu Yi, took out a document from his bag, and placed it solemnly in front of Xu Yi.
"President Xu, this is an agreement signed by His Majesty the King himself. As long as you agree, we can sign it immediately."
Seeing Earl Gandall and Earl Unker looking at the agreement on the table nervously, Xu Yi knew that the conditions proposed in this agreement were probably not trivial.
Of course, how could it be possible without good enough conditions to impress the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to assist the Luersun Kingdom regardless of the threat from the Candela Empire. (To be continued...)
