Chapter 140 You Will Definitely Bring About Changes

Starting from the small town of Samara to the Principality of Standing, you actually have to pass through a black rice wasteland, but the direction is just the opposite of going to the Woller werewolf tribe.

Although Anklu was very eager for Xu Yi's arrival, he did not make it too grand, and only brought a few assistants and three carriages.

Originally, he expected that Xu Yi would bring many assistants to the inspection, but he did not expect that Xu Yi did not bring anyone, but only brought an elf, Anis, as an assistant, so the three carriages were simply empty.

The small motorcade left the small town of Samara and headed to the southwest. After traveling for about 50 kilometers on the black rice wasteland, Xu Yi felt that the terrain was gradually sinking, while the surrounding air temperature gradually began to rise. .

Just after leaving the typical barren scene of the Black Rice Wasteland, and walking into a forest for a while, Xu Yi felt a little unbearable heat, and couldn't help taking off his thick fur coat.

Seeing Xu Yi's actions, Anklu, who was riding in the same carriage with Xu Yi, smiled and said, "President Xu, this is your first time in our Principality of Standing, so I'm afraid you are not familiar with the climate of our Principality. In fact, the climate of our Principality is It’s not the same as most countries on the mainland. There is no time for people to feel cold for a whole year here. Although it is winter now, the temperature is actually higher than the spring and autumn of your Lampari Kingdom.”

Xu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded: "I feel it. Judging from this terrain, your Principality of Standing is probably still in a basin, and it is close to the sea, and it is still in the southernmost part of the entire continent. It's not surprising to have this climate."

Anklu was a little surprised: "It seems that President Xu is also proficient in geography. It is true that a person who is capable is omnipotent. No wonder Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny praises you every time she mentions you."

"Her Royal Highness has mentioned me in front of you?" Xu Yi asked in astonishment.

Anklu smiled slightly: "I mentioned it to Her Royal Highness at first, but I didn't expect that when President Xu was mentioned, Her Royal Highness immediately talked about it. In front of me, I kept complimenting President Xu and highly praised him. It was the words of Her Royal Highness that strengthened my confidence in coming to President Xu."

The figure of Sevigny flashed in Xu Yi's mind, and he smiled and said, "If I am not as good as Her Royal Highness said, wouldn't you just run for nothing?"

"No, I have been to the Kingdom of Lampari many times, and I have been fortunate enough to have been in contact with Her Royal Highness many times. However, this is the first time that Her Royal Highness has admired a person so highly. I used to do things to President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. After some investigations, Her Highness's affirmation to President Xu only strengthens my confidence. It will not affect my decision."

"You're so polite." Xu Yi waved his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Anklu, it's actually up to now. I still don't understand what you want from me and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? We After all, it's just a small chamber of commerce. I'm afraid it won't do much to change the situation in the Principality of Standing."

"Change starts bit by bit." Anklu said sternly. "The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may not be the largest chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari, but it is the chamber of commerce that has the ability to change the status quo. I have carefully studied your chamber of commerce and found that now Bangta City and several cities around Bangta City are able to Such a big change can be said to be entirely due to the emergence of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. So I think, as long as you invite the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or President Xu to our Standing Principality, it will definitely bring some changes. ."

Seeing the firm look on Anklu's face, Xu Yi said with a wry smile: "Mr. Anklu. Although I am very confident that I can bring some changes to the Principality of Standing, you say that. It makes me feel a lot of pressure. ."

Anklu smiled slightly: "President Xu, are you a person who is afraid of pressure?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "Okay, I'm not really afraid, and I even hope that there will be pressure, because I always believe that when there is pressure, there is motivation. Well... Now that there is pressure, let's discuss how to put these The pressure has turned into motivation. Mr. Ancru, I would like to ask a question first, how is the road traffic around the three mines that Archduke Standing intends to sell to our Chamber of Commerce?”

Anklu replied without hesitation: "The two iron mines are connected by more than one road. As for the copper mine, because it has only been left there, there is no complete road connection for the time being."

"No way at all?" Xu Yi couldn't help frowning.

In fact, among the two iron mines and one copper mine that the Principality of Standing planned to sell to him, Xu Yi valued this copper mine the most.

Now that the research and development of generators has been initially successful, the next step must be to continue to develop large-scale generator sets, and then gradually promote electricity.

And if you want to promote electricity, the demand for copper will be extremely high.

There is not enough copper ore in the Lampari Kingdom for the time being, and there is no large amount of copper ore in the non-ferrous metal vein near the Woller werewolf tribe, so Xu Yi can only pin his hopes on the Principality of Standing of this copper mine.

If the road traffic around the copper mine is too bad, it will greatly affect his plans.

Seeing the expression on Xu Yi's face, Anklu hurriedly said: "President Xu, please rest assured. Although there is no road connection to the copper mine for the time being, almost all of our Standing Principality is plain. The terrain is very flat and doesn’t make mining difficult.”

"Well...if that's the case, that's fine. As long as a road can be easily built, everything else is easy to say." Xu Yi nodded.

"Speaking of building roads..." Anklu hesitated for a moment and asked, "President Xu, do you plan to build roads in our principality?"

Xu Yi was startled: "Shouldn't it be your principality's own business to build roads? Why do you ask me?"

The smile on Anklu's face was a little embarrassing: "This... the cost of building roads is too high, and our principality may not be able to afford it."

Xu Yi looked at Anklu in disbelief: "Even if you build a 100-kilometer road, it will cost less than 300,000 gold coins. Why can't you afford it?"

The smile on Anklu's face was even more embarrassing: "Actually... I'm not afraid that President Xu will laugh at you. Our principality's fiscal revenue last year was less than 200,000 gold coins..."

Xu Yi was immediately speechless.

Although I have long known from various information that the Principality of Standing is very weak, Xu Yi never thought of it anyway. It would be so weak.

A dignified principality, the annual fiscal revenue is less than 200,000 gold coins! It's not even as good as the half-month profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!

It is no wonder that Anklu, a close confidant of the Grand Duke of Standing, who plays a pivotal role in the Duke of Standing, behaves so kindly and even a little sullenly when facing Xu Yi.

There is a saying on earth that money is the courage of heroes.

The Principality of Standing was so poor, of course Anklu couldn't be so tough in front of Xu Yi.

Looking at the embarrassed smile on Anklu's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but think of the way officials from the backward regions of the world looked when they faced investors from developed regions.

Perhaps in Anklu's view now. Xu Yi was the God of Wealth who was finally invited. Of course, he tried his best to keep Xu Yi for investment, so he was so polite and enthusiastic.

But on second thought. Even the Kingdom of Lampari, whose national strength is far stronger than that of the Principality of Standing, had less than 2 million gold coins in its fiscal revenue last year. The Principality of Standing can have 200,000 gold coins a year, which is actually not bad... …

Xu Yi secretly sighed in his heart. On the surface, he nodded calmly and said: "Okay. When I see those mines, I will consider whether it is necessary to build roads according to the situation. After all, if there is a normal road connected, it will also be useful for us to mine mines. Very helpful."

Hearing Xu Yi's tone loosened, Anklu immediately calmed down, nodded and smiled quickly: "As long as President Xu has a demand, then everything can be discussed."

Xu Yi glanced at Anklu and thought to himself that if I could come up with enough money, would your Principality of Standing still plan to sell the entire Principality to me?

As soon as the carriage left the Black Rice Wasteland. Even if it entered the scope of the Principality of Standing.

As the temperature gradually increased, the surrounding scenery also changed rapidly.

at the beginning. The number of deciduous trees on both sides of the road was still found everywhere in the kingdom of Lampari, and it was not long before these trees were gradually replaced by various tropical plants with obvious tropical climate characteristics.

Xu Yi has been traveling to the Sainz Continent for nearly five years, and he knows that there are many different places between this continent and the earth, but there are also many places that are very similar.

For example, in terms of plants, there are many plants on Sainz Continent that Xu Yi has never seen or heard of on Earth, but most of the plants that exist on Earth also have on Sainz Continent.

For example, Xu Yi observed various tall trees on both sides of the road through the window of the carriage, and soon found a large area of ​​banana trees, mango trees, pineapple trees...

At the far end of the line of sight, you can also see tall coconut trees looming.

After watching for a while, Xu Yi couldn't help pointing to these plants and asked Anklu, "Your Principality of Standing obviously has so many precious resources, why is there so little fiscal revenue?"

"Precious resources?" Uncle asked in surprise. "Where is it precious?"

"Isn't it precious? Not to mention, you can make a lot of money just by selling all kinds of fruits produced by so many fruit trees to other places."

"You mean these fruits?" Anklu looked at the fruits and vegetables that Xu Yi pointed to, but smiled bitterly. "President Xu, in fact, we also know that these fruits will definitely be welcomed by people in other countries, but the question is... how to ship them out?"

Seeing the helpless expression on Anklu's face with his hands outstretched, Xu Yi was taken aback for a while, and then he reacted.

After all, this continent is not the earth, and it does not have the super transportation capacity on earth that can transport things from one end of the earth to the other end for sale within a day or two.

Although these tropical fruits are very good, but with the current transportation capacity of Sainz Continent, not to mention far away, just transporting them to the nearest Kingdom of Lampari, I am afraid that these fruits will all rot on the way.

Xu also blamed the Principality of Standing for guarding Baoshan without knowing how to use it, which is really unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi calmed down, thought for a moment, and said to Anklu: "What do you think if I can keep these fruits fresh?"

Anklu's eyes lit up immediately, slammed his thigh, and shouted in surprise: "Look! President Xu, this is what I just said, you will definitely bring changes to our Standing Principality!" continued..)
