Chapter 42 When Will It Be Developed?

"Spending two million gold coins just to exchange for the right to be stationed by a Chamber of Commerce escort team of no more than 500 people?" President Cruise looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, frowned and asked, "Xu Yi, I How did you find out that since you came to the Principality of Standing, your head seems to have burned out, and you are always doing some loss-making business?"

"Are you losing money?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "First of all, you have to make it clear that although the two million gold coins are issued by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and used to transform the environment here, but in the end, the most benefit from these environments is our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, so in fact, seriously , this can be regarded as our own investment by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"The question is, after all, it is the territory of the Principality of Standing. Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can now invest and build here, but you can't take away the things you have done here. If you don't do it here one day, these things are still a waste. Is it?" President Cruise asked in confusion.

"Who said I would leave in the future?" Xu Yi asked back.

"You can't stay if you don't leave, here..." President Cruise suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Yi with a look of surprise, then looked left and right, suddenly approached Xu Yi, lowered his voice slightly, his voice slightly Xian asked tremblingly, "Hey, Xu Yi, don't you think..."

Xu Yi waved his hand: "Don't ask me, I won't tell."

President Cruise closed his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Xu Yi meaningfully for a long time, then stood up again, looking at him up and down as if he had known Xu Yi for the first time, and shook his head gently. He sighed: "Xu Yi, I just found out today that your ambitions are actually much bigger than I thought. But do you think... just relying on 500 people is enough? You too underestimate Standing. Principality?"

"What do you think of the combat effectiveness of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escorts in the joint operation of our four chambers of commerce on the Black Rice Wasteland last time?" Xu Yi asked a seemingly inexplicable question.

President Cruise was slightly startled, thought about it, and frowned: "It's very strong. But if you want to maintain this combat power... I'm afraid it's difficult?"

"That's not what we are discussing now." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head gently. "Really speaking, maybe I don't need to do it myself at all, and there will be changes in the Duchy of Standing."

"People here are too lazy to want to sleep all day long, what kind of unexpected changes can there be?" President Cruise snorted coldly.

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing. He patted President Cruise on the shoulder and said, "What? Do you feel the laziness of these people here now?"

President Cruise groaned: "I'm really surprised. How can the people here be so lazy? Of the 5,000 people you threw over, I took out 2,000 people and put them in charge of the simplest leveling field. And guess what? It's been a full week now, two thousand people... two thousand people! It took less than ten kilometers to level the ground. With their efficiency, they want to put you on the ground. The roads in this large area have been repaired, I'm afraid I won't be able to fix it when I die!"

"That's why I said it. Don't expect the efficiency of the workers here, it's better to bring people from our Kingdom of Lampari. Besides, I don't want to waste my precious salary on these people here, and there is money to be made, Why don't we let the people of Lampari Kingdom earn it." Xu Yi said.

"Well, I've decided to go back in a few days. I'm going to be in Bangta City, oh no, not only Bangta City, but also to recruit workers on a large scale in all the surrounding cities. Otherwise, I'm afraid it is true I can't keep up with the progress."

"This is the best." Xu Yi nodded. "I'm sure that your next road construction work will not be reduced, but will be more and more, so much that you can't be busy at all."

"That's for sure." President Cruise smiled slightly: "After realizing the benefits of roads, many people now come to us to build roads. Not only in Lampari Kingdom, we have built more than Of the 1,000-kilometer road, we have built more than 300 kilometers even in the Roulson Kingdom. Including yours, the road mileage we have booked for next year will exceed 1,500 kilometers."

"It's still too little." Xu Yi sighed. "According to my estimation, if every part of the Lampari Kingdom is to be connected to roads, the total mileage must be at least 50,000 kilometers. It is still too far away."

"50,000 kilometers?" President Cruise said, "This is too exaggerated? Do you want Lampari Kingdom to have roads wherever he goes?"

"Why not?" Xu Yi asked back. "Don't you think that's the right thing to do?"

"This..." President Cruise paused and nodded involuntarily. "Well, I think it should be. But now there is a problem, Xu Yi, although the road is very convenient to build, but you said that the road increases the transportation capacity and thus the economic improvement is not very reflected. The carriage also It's just a little bit faster and a little bit easier than before, but it's not really a big improvement."

"If you want to ask when the magic locomotive will be made, just ask directly, why are you beating around the bush?" Xu Yi said angrily.

President Cruise smiled: "It's good that you know. Then tell me the truth, when will the magic locomotive you said be made?"

Xu Yi looked to the northeast, where the Falling Rain Valley was located.

"Before I came here, the research institute told me that a major breakthrough had been made in the research of magic locomotives. If I can see their real research results after I go back this time, then I may be able to give you an accurate answer."

President Cruise sighed in disappointment.

"I've been waiting for your magic locomotive for almost a year, but I still haven't gotten it out."

Xu Yi smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's not just you, including me, I don't know how many people are waiting for the successful suppression of the magic locomotive. But this matter can't be rushed. There are too many things designed by the magic locomotive. There will be a lot of problems to ensure success.”

President Cruise can only shrug helplessly: "Well, it's been staring for almost a year anyway, but I don't care about waiting for a while."

"Well, before that, you should honestly build roads." Xu Yi smiled. "But don't when the magic locomotive is launched, but because the road is not repaired, the magic locomotive can't run at all. That would be a tragedy."

President Cruise snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I'm already adjusting the focus of our chamber of commerce. With the current efficiency of our chamber of commerce, the roads built and built in a month can exceed two or three hundred kilometers, wait for you. After the magic locomotive is built, at least in the Kingdom of Lampari, I can guarantee that it can go to any city by road."

"that would be great."

Xu Yi praised with a smile, put down the question about the magic locomotive, and began to discuss with President Cruise about the planning plan for the territory under the name of Patriarch Wei Lun in the north of the Principality of Standing.

According to Xu Yi's initial concept, of course, the road should be paved in this territory first, and the traffic problem should be solved first.

According to President Cruise's estimation, in order to meet Xu Yi's basic requirements, the minimum road paving is 200 kilometers.

At the same time, although the road connecting the rainy valley to the small town of Samara has been completed, a road will be built starting from the small town of Samara, passing through the Woller werewolf tribe, and then passing through the Black Rice Wasteland, and finally connecting Highways in the Principality of Standing.

The mileage of this road is close to 100 kilometers, so the initial plan is to lay all the kilometers of more than 300 kilometers first.

Due to the special climate of the Principality of Standing, although it is now winter, construction can still be started, so President Cruise decided to take advantage of the winter when other places cannot start construction, and pull a few construction teams from other places to attack here. Construction, and strive to lay the required 200 kilometers of roads here in this winter.

This plan naturally received strong support from Xu Yi, so he offered to cooperate with Philson Cars immediately to open a long-distance bus line from Bangta City to Weilun City, Principality of Standing, specially responsible for shuttle Bangta back and forth The inhabitants of the city traveled between the two cities.

The only problem is that even if the road is built, it will take more than 20 hours to complete one trip, and it will take two to three days in the end.

So the question goes back to the question that President Cruise asked Xu Yi before.

"When will the magic locomotive be developed?"

If the speed of the magic locomotive can reach the speed of those long-distance buses on the earth, and the minimum speed is kept at 60 kilometers per hour, then the distance from Bangta City to here is just over 400 kilometers, only seven or eight hours, within a day. How come.

But as he said when answering President Chris, the research and development of magic locomotives is extremely demanding, how can it be so easy to make thoroughly.

After finishing the conversation with President Cruise, Xu Yi left Weilun City, and in the forest by the roadside saw Anise, Delier, and Stasha who had been waiting here for a long time.

This time, I am going to meet the elder Lisanya? Shadowsong of the Moon Shadow Tribe. Anise and him are both the contact persons in the middle. Delire is the representative of the Night Song Tribe. As for Stasha, it is the Moon Shadow Tribe Observer, responsible for providing reference for Elder Lisanya Shadowsong.

Although it is nominally the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open a rubber processing factory here, Xu Yi took the opportunity to propose to Elder Elushia that Delier could represent the Nightsong Tribe to propose cooperation with the Moon Shadow Tribe.

Since both parties are of the same race as elves, Elder Lisanya Shadowsong's vigilance will definitely be eliminated a lot, which will be more conducive to the success of the cooperation.

What's more, there is also Stasha.
