"Close the road?" Xu Yi looked forward in shock, thought for a while, got up and got out of the car.

When I walked to the front of the convoy, I found that a wooden fence was erected in the middle of the highway as a roadblock, which just blocked the convoy.

Xu Yi looked into the distance and found that there was no construction situation in front of the highway, and he could see several carriages running on the highway, and pedestrians were not affected at all.

It seems that he was the only one who stopped his own convoy outside.

Behind the roadblock were more than ten soldiers wearing uniform armor. Judging from the signs on their chests, they were not directly affiliated with the kingdom, but the local city guards of Lemmat City.

At this time, what was being heatedly argued with Ankato was a soldier who looked like a small leader.

"Ankato, what's going on?" Xu Yi stopped Ankato, who had a thick red neck and anger on his face, asked him.

"Sir, these guys didn't stop anyone, but stopped our convoy. I saw that they were making things difficult for us on purpose!" Ankato pointed at the soldiers and said angrily. "I clearly saw them put everything in the carriage, but when our convoy arrived, they put the roadblock up again."

"Hey, haven't I told you just now?" The little leader pointed to the road behind him. "This road is under maintenance, so you can't let your cars that are too heavy to pass by. Don't you understand?"

"But I clearly saw that a carriage such a large one was put in front of you. They were not less cargo than us, right?" Ankato said unconvincedly.

"How do you know that they are heavier than you?" The little leader glared at Ankato and turned to look at Xu Yi. "Hey. Are you the president? Tell you. This road is closed. You can take a detour."

"You are kind to us, Lord, I tell you, Lord, Lord, he..."

Xu Yi raised his arm and stopped Ankato from continuing to speak. He pondered for a moment, came to the little leader and smiled and said, "Can you please speak with a step?"

The little leader looked up and down at Xu Yi. He smiled, waved to Xu Yi, and walked under a big tree next to the road.

Xu Yi followed him and came to the place behind the tree trunk that blocked everyone's view. Without saying a word, he took out a small wallet from his arms and handed it over.

"Sir, can you tell me what's going on with this road?"

The little leader was not polite, so he took the wallet directly and weighed it in his hand. Based on his experience, he quickly determined that there were at least twenty gold coins in the wallet. The serious expression on his face faded away and he became a smile.

"Hey, that's right... I don't know what's going on." The little leader explained with a smile: "Anyway, the city lord issued a strict order a week ago, urging that no magic motorcycles are allowed to pass through this highway. Before you, I have stopped the magic motorcycle convoys of several chambers of commerce."

After saying that, the little leader looked back at the convoy parked on the road and asked curiously: "Tell me, which chamber of commerce are you from? This is the first time I have seen a chamber of commerce with so many magic motorcycles."

"Haha, it's just a small chamber of commerce. You must have never heard of it." Xu Yi answered vaguely and asked again: "Sir, is there any possibility of compatibility? We have all run here, and turning back will be a waste of time. And we can't find any place to rest in a while, right?"

While talking, Xu Yi took out a purse from his arms and handed it over.

Looking at this purse that was obviously bigger than the one just now, the little leader couldn't help but swallowed and spit, and struggled for a while on his face, but still shook his head vigorously.

"No, the city lord has a strict order this time. If I let you go, I might be caught directly in prison by the city lord after I go back."

Seeing that the little leader was determined, Xu Yi knew that there might not be any room for comfort this time. He thought about it, nodded, looked up at the distance of the highway, and turned around and returned to the convoy.

"Sir, how about it?" Ankato immediately came over and asked in a low voice.

Xu Yi shook his head: "Change, let's change the road."

Ankato immediately frowned: "Change now? But Lord, this is the only road near Lemart City."

"It's not a highway, it's not impossible to walk. Besides, how much do you think this highway is better than those ordinary dirt roads?" Xu Yi asked back.

Ankato glanced at the bumpy road under his feet, sneered, then glanced at the roadblocks and the dozen soldiers behind the roadblocks placed on the road, and turned around to the car.

Seeing Ankato's first cargo magic motorcycle driven by himself begin to turn hard on this messy road, Xu Yi returned to the medium-sized magic bus in the middle of the convoy.

After explaining it to Camby and others, everyone was puzzled.

"It's reasonable to say that road construction is built. This road is so broken, it's time to build it. But why do you only limit the magic motorcycle?" Camby frowned. "Is this aimed at our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi looked at the horizon far ahead of the highway and found that even the walls of Lemart City could not be seen. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe there is a reason, but this is not important anymore. After all, this is not Bonta City, and I am too lazy to waste time on this to negotiate with the Lord of Lemart City. And I told Ankato just now that taking this highway is not much different from walking an ordinary dirt road, right?"

Everyone in the car laughed.

"That's right, such a broken highway is probably not as good as some fairly flat old-fashioned roads."

"Tsk, the road in our village used to be better than this broken highway."

"Okay, let's go back and despise the guys of the Amley Chamber of Commerce. They are so embarrassed to build such a broken road."

...

Xu Yi did not join the jokes, but opened the map again, clicked on the Anweimar City on the map first, and then paddled along the road leading to the Thunderville City.

In addition to pausing in Lemart City, his fingers also paused in two other cities he passed by.

The situation in the other two cities is similar to that in Lemart City, both of which rejected the investment application of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because of their support for Prince Eric.

Xu Yi is worried now that the convoy of the New Air Chamber of Commerce has been refused entry in Lemart City, so it is very likely that he will be treated the same in the other two cities.

Although the reason why the road was built in Lemart City was not a problem on the surface, Xu Yi still smelled a special smell that made him feel very uncomfortable.

If this matter was deliberately done by Lemart City to target the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then Xu Yi needs to consider more issues.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce went to Thurwell City to make a large investment, not only because of the enthusiastic invitation from Count Samoy, but also because it was more convenient to cooperate with the Principality of Drake in Thurwell City. More importantly, it played a very important role in promoting Xu Yi's strategy of spreading the magic industry throughout the Kingdom of Lampari.

So on this point, Xu Yi cannot be missed. This time, almost all the elites from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came together, and even took action himself.

Now that Lemart City is blocking from the middle of the road, Xu Yi can't help but start to consider a very realistic problem.

After all, Thunder City is close to thousands of roads from Bonta City. If the New Air Chamber of Commerce wants to invest and build in Thunder City, it will inevitably involve a large amount of personnel and materials transportation and exchanges, so transportation issues are the top priority.

If you want to have fast and convenient transportation, the combination of magic locomotives and roads is of course the best at present.

However, because most of the highways in the Kingdom of Lampari are now built by chambers of commerce in various cities or cities themselves, the operation rights of these highways are in the hands of each city themselves.

For example, if Lemart City doesn't want to pass by magic motorcycles now, then the fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not be able to pass.

If both Lemart City and the other two cities have restricted the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce's transportation from Bonta City to Thurwell City will inevitably be greatly affected.

So Xu Yi now began to seriously consider a problem: the domestic highway transportation network in the Kingdom of Lampari might have been upgraded in advance.

Previously, due to funding restrictions and insufficient understanding of highway issues in the Kingdom of Lampari, most of the roads built in the Kingdom were built by each city themselves. Therefore, although the total mileage of highways in the Kingdom of Lampari is more than 3,000 kilometers, it is actually only spliced ​​by small sections of roads in each city.

According to the standards on the earth, these highways can only be regarded as county road standards at most, and even provincial roads cannot be called.

Although this can still make the road transportation network cover all cities in the kingdom, there are actually many problems.

This kind of thing happened to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce today is one of them.

In addition, because of the different investment in roads built in each city, the quality of roads is different. In addition, the roads built only connect to cities, so many unnecessary twists and turns will inevitably occur, so that if traffic is carried out through the road, the mileage will be much greater than the straight line distance.

Taking the example from Bonta City to Thurwell City, the straight-line distance between the two cities is actually less than 700 kilometers, but if you follow the road between each city, the total mileage will exceed thousands of kilometers, which is more than half of it.

Let’s not talk about the extra freight costs for this. Just the extra time spent makes Xu Yi feel a bit wasteful.

Xu Yi had thought of this problem before, but he felt that the time had not come, so there was no need to worry.

But today, after encountering this problem in Lemart City, he began to seriously consider how to solve this problem.

Xu Yi's finger drew a straight line between Bonta City and Serwell City on the map, and then began to look at the various situations near the straight line, thinking about the feasibility of building such a single mileage of more than 700 kilometers, which should be the first national highway in the Kingdom of Lampari.
