Chapter 84 Can You Live Over Forty?

President Cruise made a special trip to find Xu Yi, of course, not only to inform Xu Yi of his achievements, but to place an order with Xu Yi again, asking the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to continue to provide more road engineering magic machinery to the Amley Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time It is also hoped that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can further accelerate the research and development, and strive to develop more and newer magic machines for use as soon as possible.

To this end, he also gave Xu Yi a very detailed list, which described the problems and difficulties encountered by the Amley Chamber of Commerce in building roads and embankments, as well as building houses.

For the places that may be replaced by magic machines, the list is marked in detail, which means that Xu Yi will first conduct research and development based on these practical difficulties.

Xu Yi glanced at it and put away the list, but did not say that he could solve these problems quickly.

There is no way, the manpower of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Magic Machine Tool R&D workshop are still limited, and there are countless problems to be solved. Even Xu Yi has a lot of mechanical theoretical knowledge brought from the earth, but also needs the cooperation of these two aspects. It can really develop magic machinery.

Of course, President Cruise knew about this situation, so he could only urge him and didn't say much.

After President Cruise had confirmed the order and left, President Pomperi of Philson's car dealer immediately joined Xu Yi.

He came to ask Xu Yi about the toll station on the Bangka Highway built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The road linking Bonta City and Saltan City built by Philson's Cars and Horses is nearly completed. Although the toll station on this road has been built before this, and a lot of tolls have been collected, the Philippines After all, it was the first time for Erson to do these things, and President Pomperi was a little unsure.

"Don't worry. Her Royal Highness has already promised me that at least when Her Majesty is on the throne, the agreement we signed with the royal family will never change. You just continue to charge and don't have to worry about anything." Xu Yi knew very well Pompeii The president was worried about something, so he said it very bluntly.

really. After hearing what Xu Yi said, the expression on President Pomperi's face relaxed a little.

"That's good. I've always felt that building a toll booth on people's roads is a bit like a robbery bandit, so I always feel a little uneasy. Now that you say that His Majesty the King will always show his support, it's more reassuring. .Even if we are bandits. Those are bandits recognized by His Majesty the King, haha…”

Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Who told you that we are bandits? Did the bandits spend money to build roads? Don't worry, those who scold us only scold us because they don't understand new things. I I can guarantee that in a few years, when this kind of thing is everywhere in the kingdom, everyone will definitely get used to it soon, and there will be no one to scold. Just now, President Cruise told me that there are seven more The highway is about to start construction. When these seven highways are also built with toll stations, you will see if anyone will scold us."

"There are seven more?" President Pomberg was suddenly overjoyed. "Keep going at this speed. Wouldn't it take a few years for us to have roads everywhere in the Lampari Kingdom? If that's the case, it would be a good thing for our Felson car dealership. President Xu, you Did you know that since the Bangka Highway was opened to traffic, our horse-drawn carriages traveling back and forth between Bangta City and Karma City can run an average of thirteen more times a day than before! If all the roads in the kingdom are turned into highways, then The business of our car dealership is going to be much better than before!"

Xu Yi silently looked at President Pomperi, who was still prone to making a fuss. He thought that you would be so excited if you only had to run thirteen more times a day. If the engine research and development was successful, it would be possible to run dozens or hundreds more times a day, wouldn't it? To pass out with excitement?

After discussing the issue of the toll station, President Pomberg and Xu Yi also discussed whether the two chambers of commerce should build two more highways. It also connects Bonta City to Canberra and Norton City further afield.

Although Xu Yi is very interested in this proposal, the overall renovation project of Bangta City is still in progress, so it is impossible to determine how these two roads should pass. In addition, the Amley Chamber of Commerce has already undertaken the construction of the four chambers of commerce. The seven highways invested cannot be freed up to build two more highways, so this proposal can only be postponed for reconsideration.

"President Xu. You said that if President Cruise can learn from you and disclose the road construction technology of the Amley Chamber of Commerce, then there will be more chambers of commerce to build the road together." Pompeii President Li was a little pity.

Xu Yi glanced at him, thinking that what he said might mean something, and thought about it. He replied lightly: "Technology is not important, people are more important now. President Cruise's hair is going white, but he just can't recruit enough people. The Amley Chamber of Commerce is now undertaking more and more projects. , the manpower is becoming more and more insufficient. Otherwise, why do you think he only received the construction of seven highways after going out for nearly a month this time?"

President Pomberg smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "It's actually good for them to lack people. Now people from other places pour into Bangta City every day, and sooner or later, enough workers will be recruited. The most missing thing is a horse, and it has to be the kind of horse that has enough stamina to pull a carriage for a long distance. This thing is much harder to find than people, and the white hair on my head is probably longer than President Cruise. ."

Xu Yi shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

Although because of Xu Yi's request, Sevigny sold some of the military horses that had been eliminated by Philson's carriage and horse shop through his own relationship, but compared with the increasing demand for human transportation and cargo transportation in Bangta City, these military horses are simply a drop in the bucket. ,Far from enough.

Xu Yi wanted to comfort President Pomperi that as long as the engine was successfully developed, he could quickly help him solve the horse problem.

But thinking of the difficulty of research and development of the engine and the progress of research and development that has hardly made any breakthroughs so far, he can't say these words anyway.

After sighing with Xu Yi for a while, President Pomperi said goodbye and left, and then President Vincent of the Armani Chamber of Commerce who had been standing by the side immediately came up.

Without the need for President Vincent to speak, Xu Yi immediately rushed: "Don't rush, I have let Camby and the others experiment with the production of spindles and cradles. This is relatively simple, I don't think they can fully figure out how to do it in a week. Mass production. Next, you only need to find one or two small chambers of commerce for parts processing, teach them the technology, and then you can go directly to these small chambers of commerce to order. As for rings, travellers and knitting needles, etc. , don't worry about this, sooner or later, there will be a parts processing factory to help you solve this problem."

President Vincent was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction: "I knew President Xu you can be reliable. But besides these things, I'm looking for you today. There are other things..."

...

Looking at Xu Yi who was talking to President Vincent in the distance, Earl Summer shook his head slightly and smiled at Kennard beside him: "Look, this kid is so busy."

Kennard smiled and said, "I've already experienced it. I've been with President Xu these past few days. Even I'm exhausted, but I can imagine how busy President Xu himself is."

"Actually, this kid is completely self-inflicted. With the current development momentum of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he doesn't need to be so busy at all. He can sit at home with a lot of peace of mind and honestly produce those magic machines that have been developed. Money, why bother yourself so much." Earl Summer said.

"Lord Earl, are you praising President Xu in disguise?" Kennard laughed. "If President Xu was just such a short-sighted person with no ambition, would you support him so much?"

"Of course not." Earl Summer answered with great certainty. "To be honest, this kid gave me a lot of surprises. He helped me solve a lot of problems. If it weren't for him, the current Bangta City would not have developed so fast, even faster than I imagined. But it is precisely because he is too Positive, but I am worried about him. Not to mention that the more things he does, the more difficulties and obstacles he encounters. If you keep squeezing yourself like this, your body will sooner or later be unable to bear it.”

Kennard shook his head: "You don't need to worry about your body. President Xu should be about to become a seventh-level magician now. If he can continue to take time to study magic, I think he should be before the age of forty. Become a great magician. After becoming a great magician, his physique will be greatly improved due to the influence of magic elements, and his lifespan will also increase a lot. You will never think that he will not even live to be forty years old. Bar?"

"Forty years old?" Earl Summer suddenly let out a sigh, looking at Xu Yi in the distance with a hint of worry in his eyes. "This kid has attracted the attention and vigilance of many people now. I am worried that he and the new pilot will grow up, and maybe it will touch the nerves of some people. No, not maybe, it's almost certain. So say , I'm really not sure if he can live past forty..."

Kennard smiled slightly: "Isn't there a big man like you, City Lord, who is protecting him. What's more, Her Royal Highness appreciates and supports him very much. With you and Her Royal Highness's protection, he doesn't need to worry about this at all. question."

"The appreciation and support of Her Royal Highness? It may not be a good thing for him..." Count Summer looked towards the north of Anvilmar City. After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Kennard and asked, "Does your sudden arrival here mean that your father has finally made up his mind?"

Kennard shook his head: "My father hasn't made up his mind yet. But the good news is that he finally revealed a little trend, otherwise he wouldn't be here."

Earl Summer nodded lightly: "Just a little trend is enough. You are here now and have made contact with Xu Yi. Then it doesn't matter what your father thinks, because the key is what others think."

Kennard shook his head: "I'm not a big brother after all."

"Really?" Earl Summer smiled, but he didn't intend to ask this question any further. Glancing at Xu Yi, who seemed to have finished talking with President Vincent in the distance, he thought about it and asked, "What about yourself? Have you made up your mind?"

Kennard also looked at Xu Yi in the distance and smiled slightly: "I haven't made up my mind yet. But based on the contacts in the past few days, I also have some trends. As for whether I will make this decision in the end, I have to Let's see what happens next."

"I hope you can make up your mind as soon as possible." Earl Summer nodded. "Xu Yi is so busy that he doesn't even have time to fall in love with Steele, which is really not a good thing. It would be great if someone could help him and share some of the burden for him. already."

Kennard laughed silently.
