Chapter 34 You are not fit to be the queen

Of course Xu Yi had no choice.

If Count Samo's request is rejected, it means that Count Samo's support may be lost from then on.

Even if the support of Count Samore is not important, the support of those who prompted him to make these requests to Xu Yi is absolutely important.

Earl Samo was able to say that this was related to the interests of the entire Lampari Kingdom, so it proved that this requirement actually represented not only Earl Samo's will, which made Xu Yi unable to refuse.

However, agreeing to Count Samo's request means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will only enter the military industry that Xu Yi has always resisted.

Although with the gradual development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the gradual acceptance of magic machinery, Xu Yi had already expected that there would be such a day and was mentally prepared.

But no matter what, he didn't expect that this day would come so early.

The various civilian magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not yet been fully popularized in the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is about to enter the military industry.

Recalling that most of the high-tech technologies on the earth are first used in the military and then gradually turned to civilian use, Xu Yi suddenly felt that this may be the fate of the mechanical industry.

This is true on Earth, and on the Continent of Sainz is no exception.

So after Xu Yi agreed to Count Samo, he adjusted his somewhat resistant mentality and began to actively raise funds.

However, when he saw Sevini suddenly appear in front of him and was talking to him about armor and weapons used by various army members, Xu Yi still felt a little uncomfortable, or was uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, I always thought that your main focus is on people's livelihood. I didn't expect you to interfere in the army. It really made me... feel a little contrast." Xu Yi looked at Sevini's warm and cautious side face and said.

"Contrast? Why?" Sevini looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

"Because I always feel that... a gentle and beautiful girl like you is suitable for caring about the lives of the people, but it would be a bit strange if it is associated with these cold weapons and armor." Xu Yi said honestly.

"Do you think I'm pretty?" Sevini nodded when he saw Xu Yi and smiled slightly. He continued, "Thank you for your praise. Indeed, compared to cold weapons and cruel military wars, I prefer to pay attention to every bit of people's lives, but there is no way. Since I am the princess you mentioned, it is impossible to completely put aside these things."

"Do you want to inherit the throne?" Xu Yi couldn't help asking.

After asking, Xu Yi immediately realized that he was really a bit rash in his question.

How did he get his turn to ask about this kind of question?

Fortunately, Sevini just glanced at Xu Yi in surprise, without looking angry, then tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied to Xu Yi: "If I say what I think in my heart, I don't want to. Of course, no one would believe this."

"I believe." Xu Yi said quickly. "Because I think you are really not suitable to be a queen."

"Is it because I'm not worthy?" Sewini asked back.

"No, it's not that it's not worthy, it's just that it's not suitable." Xu Yi said sincerely. "Although I haven't come into contact with you many times, I think you are actually a very peaceful and kind girl, and this kind of personality is not suitable to be a queen. To be honest, I actually don't quite understand why the princess, who came from the royal family, has such a personality."

"This is just your illusion." Sewini shook his head. "As a princess, how could I be the kind of personality you mentioned? Okay, let's stop chatting, or go back to the serious business."

Sewini clapped his hands, took out a drawing, and spread it on the table in front of them.

"Did you see it? This is the standard armor used by the Kingdom Guards. There are various size marks on it, and you should see it clearly."

Xu Yi looked at the drawings and nodded: "You can see clearly, but drawings alone may not be enough. It is best to give me a real armor."

"It's okay. I'll send you a few pieces of armor of different specifications." Sewini nodded and looked at Xu Yi who was lying on the drawings and carefully observed, "How is it? Are you sure?"

After reading it again, Xu Yi stood up and showed a confident smile to Sewini: "Your Highness, did you forget how I answered the last time you asked me this question?"

Sevini was slightly stunned, and then remembered that she did ask Xu Yi this question before Xu Yi wanted to develop a magic forging machine tool last time.

And Xu Yi's answer at that time was - of course there is!

"That's good." Although Sewini's smile was not as bright as Steele, it seemed as warm as the winter sun. "I hope that President Xu can still do what he said this time. In addition, I can reveal to you in advance that if you cooperate with our Kingdom military smoothly this time, then your New Flying Chamber of Commerce will likely become an important partner of the Kingdom military in the future and will receive strong support from the royal family and the military."

"What about the specific benefits?" Xu Yi asked.

"Not yet. But at least, you won't let Baron Billy get out of the house like this time." There was a hint of joking in Sewini's smile.

Xu Yi couldn't help but groaned: "Your Highness, this is your fault. It's fine if you and His Majesty the King are not convenient for you to come forward. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is an important partner of the Agricultural Bureau. This time, the Agricultural Bureau did not stand up for us, which really disappointed me."

"The Agriculture Department has nothing to do with it." Sewini said helplessly. "The Stark family is the noble with the most territory in the kingdom. Nearly half of the food paid by the Agriculture Department comes from the Stark family every year. Do you think the Agriculture Department may question the Stark family because of you and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi frowned: "This is not right. Although the Stark family is the noble with the most territory in the kingdom, it is not as good as the royal family, right? Why is the food paid by the Stark family almost half?"

"That's because the land owned by the royal family is actually equivalent to the land owned by the kingdom, which is not the same as the private territory of the nobles. The Stark family can rely on concentrated labor to reclaim farmland on a large scale, increase production, and pay a large amount of food at the same time, but the royal family cannot. Because first of all, we cannot find so many enough people to reclaim farmland."

After Sevini finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yi meaningfully. "Now you know, why did your father attach so much importance to the farmland magic machinery of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi suddenly realized, and after glanced at Sevini, he started to scream again.

"My Queen, since our New Flight Chamber of Commerce is so important, then you and His Majesty the King should stand up for us this time. Otherwise, this would be too disappointing for me."

Sevini smiled helplessly: "There is no way, the father has something to do with him. And I... I am really powerless at the moment. In addition, there are actually some different voices within our royal family."

Xu Yi looked at Sevini who had a hint of fatigue in his expression and couldn't help but shake his head: "So I said, the throne is really not something that ordinary people can do. Well, Your Highness, I just complained a few words casually, you don't have to take it to heart. Regarding this magic machine development, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I agree to it. Give us some time, and it should be able to develop it smoothly."

"Okay, then I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my father." After Severny said that, he gave Xu Yi a standard court lady gift, which scared Xu Yi.

This was the first time she had bowed to Xu Yi so solemnly, which shows her emphasis on this R&D task.

After seeing Sevini off, Xu Yi glanced at the drawings on the table, rolled them up, thought for a while, gave up the idea of ​​stuffing them into the office table, and put them in his arms.

Although this is the new office in Sangqidun Manor, it is impossible for someone to break in without Xu Yi's consent, but the R&D tasks taken this time need to be kept strictly confidential. There is no need to do so, Xu Yi does not want to disclose them easily.

After making some calculations in the office, Xu Yi opened the door and walked out, took a sip of the fresh air outside, and felt his dizzy head suddenly woke up a lot.

If it weren't for the endless roar of machines in the manor, this manor left by Viscount Sangqidun is really a good place to cultivate one's own character.

After taking a look at the two huge simple factory buildings on both sides, Xu Yi smiled and thought that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had started again.

After a week of busy work, the factory of the New Air Chamber of Commerce finally moved out of the Stark family's territory.

Of course, the only thing that can be moved away is the machinery and equipment inside the factory, and as for the factory, there is definitely no way to move it away.

Baron Billy even shamelessly asked Xu Yi for compensation for the four large and small factories left in the territory.

Because he felt that these delivery rooms were kept because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had not been demolished, it would definitely not work to let him spend time and money to demolish them, so he asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to compensate him for the cost of the demolition.

Xu Yi certainly firmly disagreed with such shameless and unreasonable requests.

Baron Billy wanted to bother and even threatened Xu Yi, but Baron Samo, who could not bear it after receiving the news, was scolded directly and forced to give up.

Thinking of Baron Satsuma's unclear statement when Baron Satsuma was driven out of territory by Baron Billy, to his clear support now, and even scolding Baron Billy in person, Xu Yi knew very well that this must be because the Bankon Satsuma finally entered the military industry.

This is actually the main reason why Xu Yi finally decided to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce involve the military industry.

If you want to build a true magical industrial empire on this continent, the military industry is an impossible part to avoid.
