Chapter 14 Her Majesty Asked Me to Tell You

However, compared to the anger and dissatisfaction with the Zhenxi Army's negligence, Xu Yi was more concerned about the reason for the Sak Kingdom's action.

The massacre of the five orc tribes would naturally have a huge impact on the orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland, but Xu Yi couldn't see the significance to the Sak Kingdom.

It is impossible for the Sak Kingdom to be full and have nothing to do, so it would risk a frontal battle with the Zhenxi Army and forcefully break through the fortifications. Orc tribe.

However, Xu Yi has never been able to understand the significance of the Sak Kingdom's actions.

If we analyze it purely from the results, we think that the one who suffered the most from this operation, besides the orc tribe, is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Because of this incident, the mood of more than 10,000 orc workers employed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become very unstable, which has seriously affected their work efficiency, and the production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has declined to a certain extent in the past few days. .

But Xu Yi didn't think that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce deserved so much attention from the Sak Kingdom, and would actually take such a big risk in order to hit the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So there is another more reasonable explanation, that is, the Kingdom of Sark tried to evaluate the defensive strength and strength of the Zhenxi Army on the Black Rice Wasteland through this operation. Maybe in the future, the Sark Kingdom will have the opportunity to invade from the direction of the Black Rice Wasteland, and then from the west to the Lan ∮ ♂ Chang ∮ ♂ Wind ∮ ♂ Literature ∮ ♂ Literature, ↘.△x.ne↓t Pali Kingdom.

It's just that if the Sac Kingdom thinks this way, it seems a bit too whimsical in Xu Yi's view.

Since Seweini took the throne, the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have cooperated closely, and it has only been less than two years. It makes the appearance of Lampa and the two countries take on a new look.

According to the statistics. Just last year alone. The grain production in the Lampari Kingdom increased to 6.8 million tons, surpassing the previous record of 5.9 million tons in one fell swoop, and even jumped to become the highest grain production among the surrounding countries.

The current food production in the Kingdom of Lampari can not only easily meet the daily needs of everyone in the kingdom, but also have the ability to export a large amount of food while storing a large amount of food.

Last year, the Kingdom of Lampari earned more than 600,000 gold coins from the export of grain alone.

Compared with the export of all kinds of magic machinery, the income from grain export is not enough.

According to statistics, within one year last year. The magic machinery factories jointly established by the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have produced more than seven million sets of various household magic machinery. Except for the 2.6 million units that were digested within the kingdom, the remaining nearly 5 million units of various household magic machines were all exported to countries other than the Kingdom of Luerson, the Duchy of Drake, and the Duchy of Miranda through various channels. Going there brought terrifying profits of more than six million gold coins to the Kingdom of Lampari.

From these two aspects of income, the Lampari Kingdom's treasury collected an astonishing tax revenue of more than two million gold coins.

In addition, among the various taxes levied within the kingdom, the kingdom's treasury also received more than three million gold coins.

So last year, only the first year of Servigny's ascension to the throne, the finances of the Kingdom of Lampa and the two countries had a terrifying increase, with a total tax revenue of more than six million gold coins.

Such an astonishing financial income is the first time in the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Lampari Kingdom.

As the saying goes, money is easy to do.

In the past, the financial revenue of the Lampari Kingdom was always stretched. Therefore, there is no way to spend too much money on the most critical military affairs, so the Lampari Kingdom is suppressed by the Sark Kingdom everywhere. Powerless to resist.

Now that the financial revenue of the Lampari Kingdom has improved significantly, the wealthy Lampari Kingdom has invested heavily in the army.

In the past year, the general fee has been increased from the pitiful 300,000 gold coins to 1.3 million gold coins, a full 1 million gold coins more!

The consequence of this increase in investment is that the main armies directly under the royal family of Lampari are now all equipped with brand new equipment, and are equipped with a large number of military magic machines purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In the Zhenbei Army, this is even more obvious.

The heavily armed Zhenbei Army fought several battles with the Sac Kingdom's Greedy Wolf Army on the northern border of the two countries, and each time they won a complete victory.

Now that the Zhenbei Army is guarding the Murto Mountains, the army of the Sark Kingdom dare not cross the thunder pool, let alone invade the territory of the Lampari Kingdom as before.

It was precisely because the military strength of the two sides had reversed that Xu Yi was confused by the sudden actions of the Sac Kingdom against the orcs on the Black Rice Wasteland.

It would be nice if the Kingdom of Sark could hold its own territory now, but is it still delusional to invade the Kingdom of Lampari again like before? What a no-brainer.

Xu Yi was immersed in thinking about the actions of the Sac Kingdom, and Earl Rewell was also a little embarrassed by Xu Yi's questioning just now, and the car fell silent for a while.

But it didn't take long, the body of the magic car suddenly shook violently, waking Xu Yi up from his contemplation.

Feeling the pain in his butt from falling back into the seat, as well as the intermittent bumps of the car body, Xu Yi frowned and looked back, and found that there were many large and small potholes on the rainy road that he had just passed. No wonder it's been such a tough ride.

"Master City Lord, when I came last time, the road condition of the Luoyu Highway was still very good. How come it has become like this in less than a few months?" Xu Yi couldn't help asking.

Count Revel also looked back, his expression even more awkward.

"This... During this period of time, the freight locomotives of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce to transport ore always use this road, which crushed the rainy road."

"The ore truck of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi thought for a while and understood. "It's going to the Falcao Steelworks in the north of the city, right?"

"Well. President Xu, this steel mill was built by the cooperation of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You should not forget it." Earl Revel said.

"Of course I remember. This is the first steelmaking plant built by other chambers of commerce besides our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is a bit similar to the magic air-conditioning production line I sent over this time." Xu Yi glanced at the road again, He frowned and said, "But it's okay if the ore truck crushed the rainy road. Lord City Lord, haven't you considered repairing the road?"

"Under research." Earl Revel nodded. "And I'm not only planning to repair the rainy road this time, but also to take the opportunity to widen the rainy road to at least eight lanes. Because the rainy road carries the most important transportation responsibility of our Bangta City, the previous road surface It is too narrow and cannot meet the demand.”

Xu Yi laughed: "No way, when our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce built this rainy road before, we didn't have much money, so we couldn't make it too wide. But you can realize this problem now, my lord, that's really true. It's admirable."

"This is my duty as the city lord." Earl Revel smiled. "Speaking of building roads, President Xu, do you know the decree recently issued by Her Majesty the Queen?"

"Is it a proposal to strengthen road traffic in the Kingdom of Lampari?" Xu Yi asked.

"Yes. Her Majesty the Queen plans to build a total of thirteen new roads in the kingdom next year as the main roads running through the country. In addition, she plans to repair or expand the remaining 39 roads to strengthen the kingdom's roads. Transportation network. This plan has been initially passed by the Kingdom Council, and I believe it will be formally passed soon.”…

"It's a good thing." Xu Yi shrugged. "After all, now that the Lampari Kingdom is rich, Her Majesty the Queen can do many things."

"But there is still a very important issue in this plan that has not been resolved." Earl Reeves looked at Xu Yi with piercing eyes.

Seeing Earl Reeves' eyes, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"I said, my lord, you must have been sent by Her Majesty the Queen to spy on me, right? Given the relationship between me and Her Majesty, is there anything that I can't tell you directly?"

Earl Reeves showed a slightly weird smile, then coughed lightly, and said seriously: "The problem with this plan is that the construction, repair, and expansion of roads require a lot of materials such as cement and steel bars. The steel bars are easy to solve , because the steelmaking plant of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce is now able to provide finished steel. Although the quality is not high, it is still enough for road construction. It’s just cement..."

"No problem. I think it is too troublesome to transport cement all the way from the Principality of Standing, and I plan to build several cement processing factories in the Kingdom of Lampari." Xu Yi said.

Earl Reeves was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

He had indeed come to probe Xu Yi's tone according to Her Majesty's instructions, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to agree!

"Don't look at me like that." Xu Yi glanced at Earl Reeves, then turned his eyes to the direction of Anvilmar City, shook his head and said, "Tell Your Majesty the Queen for me, I help the Kingdom of Lampari to establish a magic industrial system Her original intention will not change, so she doesn't have to have too many scruples in her heart."

Count Reeves took a deep look at Xu Yi with a strange expression on his face.

"President Xu, I don't need to convey these words to Her Majesty the Queen. It's better for you to tell her yourself."

"Tell her personally?" Xu Yi was a little surprised.

"Yes." Count Reeves' expression suddenly became serious, he took out a pink envelope from his pocket, and handed it to Xu Yi. "President Xu, this is a private letter entrusted to you by Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty asked me to tell you that if you are free, I hope you can go to Anweimar City. Her Majesty wants to be with you...cough ... drink tea, chat..."

Seeing Earl Reeves finally couldn't help showing a slightly weird smile, Xu Yi was stunned. He looked down at the letter in his hand that seemed to still have a trace of fragrance, and Sevigny's letter appeared in his mind. I don't decide to be beautiful, but the delicate face that makes people feel particularly at ease when looking at it, I just feel that my mood has become extremely complicated in an instant.
