Chapter 97 Arrogant Agriculture Department

Early the next morning, Viscount Leslie, who had heard the news, stood in front of the warehouse that had been burned to a mass of coke, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"How's the loss?" After a while, Viscount Leslie asked Xu Yi next to him.

"I found out early, but I have nothing to lose." After Xu Yi replied, he frowned slightly, his expression a little puzzled.

Last night, he saw that spark exploded with his own eyes, but it instantly turned into a mass of flames that enveloped the entire warehouse. It didn't look like an ordinary fire, but it looked like someone deliberately set it on fire.

But Xu Yi just arrived in Anweimar City last night, and he didn't know a few people here at all, and naturally he couldn't talk about who he had feuded with. How could someone suddenly appear to attack the things he brought?

Hearing Xu Yi's questions, Viscount Leslie was silent for a while, then suddenly waved his hand, signaling Director Ram and the other servants to retire.

After everyone retreated into the distance, Viscount Leslie sighed softly and said to Xu Yi, "Xu Yi, I'm the one who caused you trouble."

Xu Yi was startled: "Lord Viscount, why do you say that?"

Viscount Leslie looked towards the northeast outside the fence of the other courtyard with a wry smile on his face.

"Because someone didn't welcome me back, and that's a warning to me."

Xu Yi opened his mouth, but in the end did not ask.

From the tone of Viscount Leslie, it can be inferred that there must be many complicated reasons involved. Given Xu Yi's current status, it is better not to mainly involve it.

"It seems that these things are not safe here, so let me find a safe place for you to store them." Viscount Leslie thought for a while and then said.

Xu Yi shook his head: "It's not necessary. Since it has already been burned once, the other party must feel that these things have been destroyed, and they should not come to attack again. Besides, Lord Viscount said this is a warning for you, then warning The goal has been achieved, but it doesn’t matter how the result is. I will ask Director Ram to strengthen the guard here, it should be fine.”

Viscount Leslie frowned: "Xu Yi, these things are so important to your audience this time, why do I think you're not nervous at all?"

Xu Yi laughed: "I was really nervous before it was burned, but after seeing this fire burn yesterday, I suddenly figured it out. These things are not the key, the key is the meaning of these things. . Even if the things here are really destroyed, there is no problem. Anyway, our new flying merchants can reproduce at any time. Unless those guys can burn all the new flying merchants with a torch, it will not make much sense. "

Viscount Leslie laughed dumbly: "You are free and easy, but aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come up with something when you are summoned by His Majesty the King?"

"I'm afraid." Xu Yi nodded seriously. "So Lord Viscount, you have to do me a favor."

###

After seeing off Viscount Leslie, Xu Yi came to the warehouse again, looking at the burnt black piece in front of him, Xu Yi's relaxed face gradually sank.

In front of Viscount Leslie just now, he didn't tell the truth completely.

When the fire broke out last night, Xu Yi clearly felt a trace of magical fluctuations in it. It can be seen that there is a possibility that a magician was hidden among the people who set fire to it last night.

Being able to dispatch a magician to do such trivial things as arson shows that the other party attaches great importance to this matter, and is obviously determined to succeed.

If Xu Yi hadn't just caught up, and made a quick decision to control the fire with water magic, and neutralized the magical destructive power contained in the flame, I'm afraid that even if these things in the warehouse will not be completely burned, there will definitely be some damage.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yi walked to another room in the distance.

This room was originally a guest room. Because the warehouse was destroyed, Xu Yibian asked Director Ram to transfer all the things in the warehouse here.

Pushing open the door, you can see six strange machines standing in the middle of the room. The flame-scorched black shell is full of mottles, and it looks hideous, which is really not very good-looking.

These six machines were brought by Xu Yi from Bangta City on a special trip, including six farmland magic machines, including a small magic harvester, a small magic ripper, and a small magic excavator.

Summoned by His Majesty the King this time, Xu Yi intends to personally demonstrate to His Majesty the power of these machines.

The nobles in Bangta City have now been conquered by these machines, and they have placed orders with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. I believe that His Majesty the King will be no exception.

If His Majesty the King is also moved to promote the farmland magic machinery to the whole kingdom of Lampari, then not only the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be able to make a lot of profits, but it can also help Xu Yi realize the preliminary plan in his heart earlier.

Xu Yi took a towel and carefully wiped the surfaces of the six machines.

This work is time-consuming, but Xu Yi is not at ease to hand it over to servants who don't know much about these machines, so he has to do it himself.

It took him more than half an hour to roughly wipe the surfaces of the six machines, then took out a few magic crystals, put them into the six machines, and then turned on the switch to prepare for a test.

Just when the switch of the first small magic harvester was turned on, when the rake in front began to turn buzzingly, there was already a mess of footsteps outside the house.

"President Xu, President Xu..." Director Ram's shout came in through the door and window.

Xu Yi turned off the small magic harvester and walked out in confusion.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Director Ram leading four people over.

The four wore uniform, well-crafted uniforms, and looked like they were from the same organization.

Sure enough, after the introduction of Director Ram, Xu Yi realized that these four people were all officials of the Agriculture Department. After learning that Xu Yi had come to Anweimar City yesterday, he came over to meet Xu Yi early this morning. noodle.

The leading Agriculture Department official was a middle-aged man with gray hair who looked at least fifty. After listening to Director Ram's introduction, he nodded lightly and said, "President Xu, you brought What about those farmland magic machines? Leave it to us to take back."

Xu Yi frowned, this Lord Fisher sounded calm, but both his expression and his tone revealed an undisguised contempt and indifference, as if they had come to see Xu Yi as a gift. It is a matter of course for Xu Yi to hand over things because of Xu Yi's great face.

Xu Yi originally thought that the officials of the Agriculture Department had received the news the night before and came to meet him early the next morning. They must have attached great importance to the farmland magic machinery that he brought, but now that he looked at it, it was not the case at all. .

"Lord Fisher, I didn't seem to have said that I should hand over things to the Agriculture Department?" Xu Yi frowned.

"Don't you want to keep it if you don't turn it in?" Lord Fisher raised his voice slightly, looking at Xu Yi, seemingly impatient. "President Xu, since you reported that you have brought those farmland magic machines, of course you have to hand them over to us and let us take them back to study. If it is really helpful to improve farmland, the Agriculture Department will definitely Commend your new flight chamber of commerce."

"Comment?" Xu Yi was instantly exasperated.

This time, he came with the intention of promoting the farmland magic machinery. He originally thought that even His Majesty the King would summon him for this, so the Agricultural Administration should take him seriously, but he did not expect that the four officials of the Agricultural Administration would be so indifferent. , where there is a little bit of attention.

Judging from their attitude, if Xu Yi really handed over these farmland magic machines to them, maybe they would be immediately put on the shelf and no longer asked.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for asking one more question. I remember that the Agriculture Department said in a letter to me that this time I came here mainly to hear the complete farmland reconstruction plan and the farmer support plan of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Didn't you tell me to hand over these magic machines? Besides, I never said that I would bring farmland magic machines, how did you know that?" Xu Yi asked, staring at Lord Fisher.

Lord Fisher's eyes flickered, then stared at Xu Yi and raised his voice: "President Xu, this is not something you should ask. Now you don't care so much. On behalf of the Agriculture Department, I ask you to immediately put those farmland Don't you agree to hand over the magic machine for us to study?"

Xu Yi's eyes swept across the three Agriculture Department officials beside Lord Fisher, and found that they were also fierce, as if Xu Yi dared not agree, they would immediately rush to do it.

Seeing the posture of the four of them, Xu Yi pondered.

He wasn't afraid, he just thought it seemed a little strange.

If the Agriculture Department did not take it seriously, it would never have come over so early, and if it really did take it seriously, how could it show such an attitude?

After thinking about it, Xu Yi shook his head: "Your Excellency, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. I have other uses for these machines. If I leave them to you like this, it will disrupt my plan."

Lord Fisher suddenly sank his face and snorted coldly: "Disrupting your plan? If you don't hand over those machines to us, it will disrupt the plan of our Agriculture Department! Do you think your plan is important? , or is our Agriculture Department's plan important?"

Xu Yi smiled lightly: "Your Excellency, this doesn't seem to be comparable, right? Maybe the Agriculture Department's plan is important, but that doesn't mean I have to give you those machines to take away."

"Presumptuous!" Lord Fisher suddenly became furious, pointed his finger at Xu Yi's nose, and shouted loudly: "Xu Yi, you are just a small businessman, how dare you resist the demands of our Agriculture Department at will? You Do you know that if it weren't for the peasant support plan of your chamber of commerce, there is still some merit, and you are not even qualified to speak to me?"

Xu Yi frowned, grabbed Lord Fisher's finger and pressed it down, still maintaining a calm tone: "Your Excellency, if you continue to maintain this attitude, I think our conversation will end here. Bar."

Xu Yi's calm tone immediately angered the other three officials of the Agriculture Department, and even more angered Lord Fisher, but after all, he was relatively old and prudent. He raised his hand to stop the three companions from rushing over. Looking at Xu Yi, he said solemnly, "President Xu, are you really going to disobey the order of the Agriculture Department?"

Xu Yi smiled and said: "Your Excellency, first of all, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Agriculture Department are not related to each other. The word "order" seems not to be used here, right? Second, can you really represent the Agriculture Department?"
