Chapter 27 The Butcher's Knife Raised

When it was a foregone conclusion that Prince Eric took over as the king, many people in Bonta City couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

The Queen of Sevini is the lord of Bonta City, so Bonta City can almost be regarded as Severni's back garden, and is her loyal supporter and backer.

Now that Prince Eric has successfully taken over the throne, according to convention, it is obvious that the previous situation will be liquidated. Then a city like Bonta City that clearly expresses its support for Prince Eric will inevitably be targeted specifically by Prince Eric.

Among all the chambers of commerce in Bonta City, the most worrying thing is naturally the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The relationship between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Princess Sevini is the closest one in Bonta City. President Xu Yi is an extremely staunch supporter of Princess Sevini. He has publicly refused Princess Eric's recruitment many times, and has almost completely broken up with Princess Eric before.

In everyone's opinion, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly a thorn in the eyes of Prince Eric. Once he successfully inherits the throne, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will definitely not escape the fate of being liquidated.

It is precisely because of this concern that even Xu Yi had to make a plan in advance, and was forced to stop the development plan of Luoyu Valley, and transfer some of the most precious resources of the New Air Chamber of Commerce to the base of the Principal of Stantin to beware of His Royal Highness Eric's attack.

But the facts were beyond everyone's expectations.

After Prince Eric successfully ascended the throne, he did not take any excessive actions against Bonta City. Not only did he not take the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce first as expected, he even made a special statement. He specially commended the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce for its outstanding contribution to the development of Bonta City. He almost shocked everyone's chin.

Moreover, although the new city lord of Bonta City who took over Sevini is King Eric... OK. Now it should be called King Eric himself. After coming to Bonta City, he showed a very friendly attitude towards Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. He did not target the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all like Earl Stark as the city lord.

In addition, the new city lord also expressed his willingness to continue to support the development of the magic industry in Bonta City, and the good foundation laid by Prince Sevini, to develop Bonta City into a new type of prosperous city that is enough to become a model of the entire Lampari Kingdom.

Everyone was confused by the attitudes of King Eric and the new city lord.

What is His Majesty King Eric thinking?

Regarding this question, King Eric made a clear statement in a special interview with Lampari Weekly.

In this interview, he claimed that he was just an ordinary prince in the past. Because he was competing for the throne with His Highness Sevini, he would naturally regard the staunch supporter of Sevini, the New Air Chamber of Commerce, as his enemy, and of course he hoped to target him everywhere.

However, once he ascended the throne and began to think about the problem from the perspective of a king, he discovered the huge role that the magic industry represented by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce played in the development of the Kingdom of Lampari.

Since he is already the king of this kingdom, the first thing to consider is of course the development of the entire kingdom.

The New Flight Chamber of Commerce and the Magic Industry are beneficial to the Kingdom, and of course he has to support the continued development of the New Flight Chamber of Commerce and the Magic Industry. It is naturally not uncommon to change his attitude towards the New Flight Chamber of Commerce.

Through the statement of His Majesty King Eric in this interview, everyone suddenly realized.

I have to say that the explanation given by His Majesty King Eric is extremely reasonable.

He is already His Majesty the King, so naturally he cannot have such a narrow-minded look. No matter what he does, he needs to take into account the interests of the entire kingdom.

It is said that... After this interview was published and published nationwide through the Lampari Weekly, the voices of opposing Prince Eric's succession to the throne were immediately eliminated in various parts of the kingdom, and King Eric's reputation has been unprecedentedly improved throughout the kingdom.

Even in the city of Bonta, which was most worried about King Eric, there were many voices supporting His Majesty the new king.

For a moment, the situation in the entire Kingdom of Lampari seemed to be as Severni had said to Xu Yi before.

Only when the throne is smooth and smoothly handed over can the Lampari Kingdom achieve the most stable and good development situation.

Seeing the situation in Bangta City and the entire kingdom with one's own eyes, even Xu Yi was shaken for a while.

However... the facts show that everyone was too happy, especially Xu Yi.

One month after Prince Eric ascended the throne, he looked a little bit unremarkable at first glance, but when he looked closely, there were constant news that was unfavorable to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

First, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce established factories in other cities in the kingdom to be inspected by the city lord's mansions in various places.

In name, this is because His Majesty the King is concerned about the development of the magic industry, so he must first use the most representative New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce as the subject of investigation.

But in fact, during the investigation, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce set up many magic machine tools and equipment in factories everywhere, and even the entire production line was moved out directly in the name of investigation, and even some workers and engineers in the factory were taken away in the name of assisting the investigation.

Although these people were released later, magic machine tools, equipment, etc. are gone forever.

Then, a special Magic Industry Administration was established under the Kingdom Parliament.

As the name suggests, this is specifically used to manage various chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari that involve the magic industry.

The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

According to the regulations of the Magic Industry Administration, any chamber of commerce involving the Magic Industry must be subject to the unified management of the Magic Industry Administration.

The so-called management requires all chambers of commerce related to the magic industry to cooperate unconditionally with the work of the Magic Industry Administration. For example, the Administration requires that all chambers of commerce involving the magic industry must have certificates of qualification reviewed and issued by the Administration before they can open production.

However, in this certificate of conformity, the Administration has established a corresponding certificate of conformity for different magic machinery.

Therefore, the Magic Industry Chamber of Commerce, which currently produces more than 100 types of magic machinery, needs to apply for more than 100 certificates of conformity.

If you apply for a certificate of qualification, the procedures are complicated and the various fees paid are also expensive.

Take the magic refrigerator production certificate as an example. If you want to successfully obtain approval, you will need to pay as much as 300 gold coins after you apply.

After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has obtained a certificate of conformity for all kinds of magic machinery, the cost of spending more than 40,000 gold coins.

As for the inevitable gray expenditure in the process of applying for approval, it is by no means less than this amount.

In other words, because of the certificate of conformity alone, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce spent more than 80,000 gold coins.

But the period of the certificate of conformity is only one year...

If spending more than tens of thousands of gold coins a year does not have much impact on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then another provision of the Administration Bureau is completely unacceptable to Xu Yi.

In order to support the development of the magic industry in the entire Kingdom, the Magic Industry Administration requested the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open its unique technology to other Magic Industry Chambers of Commerce in the Kingdom to help other Magic Industry Chambers of Commerce grow and grow.

Xu Yi firmly rejected this request.

Moreover, when the Magic Industry Administration asked other Magic Industry Chambers of Commerce in the Kingdom for their opinions, it also received opposition from most chambers of commerce.

Almost all chambers of commerce agree that such regulations completely violate the most basic business principles.

If the Administration enforces it, it will be equivalent to destroying the iron rules of all chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari.

For the sake of its reputation, no chamber of commerce dares to support the decision of the Administration.

Because the opposition was too fierce, the Administration finally had to give up.

However, through this incident, Xu Yi completely recognized King Eric's true thoughts.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but on the contrary, he really wants to.

But maybe it was because of the agreement with Sevini, or because he had just ascended the throne. He needed to retain some face, or maybe someone gave him advice to make him less direct... or it could be said that he should not be so ugly.

In short, he is now taking chronic, very gentle, and not too noticeable means against the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the magic industry represented by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, Xu Yi could guess his real idea.

As a king, he certainly hopes to hold the magic industry, which has had a profound impact on the entire Lampari Kingdom, firmly in his hands.

In fact, in Xu Yi's view, the commercial tax reform that the new city lord implemented in Bangta City was a sign that he could not wait.

This trade tax reform was like unrestrainedly raising a butcher knife against the magic industry represented by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, intending to cut off a large piece of the fattest meat from this now, filling the thief behind him who supported him to ascend the throne.

Every time I think of this reform of the commercial tax policy, Xu Yi can't help but sneer in his heart.

With the support of those nobles, His Highness Eric finally got his wish and ascended the throne as he wished, but how could these nobles support him for free?

How much to pay, these greedy nobles will naturally want to get several times or even dozens of times the reward from him.

This is clearly revealed by the Duke of Stark as Prime Minister of the Kingdom and personally serving as Director of the Magic Industry Administration.

But these are Xu Yi's speculations, but we cannot explain them in detail with Sevini.

Looking at Sevini in contemplation, Xu Yi sighed softly.

He didn't know how much Sevini knew about these situations.

If she knew about His Royal Highness Eric’s series of actions, would she regret that she would rather live up to the expectations of countless people than give up fighting for the throne completely?

A young man in the uniform of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly ran over from a distance, stood in front of Xu Yi panting, waking up Xu Yi and Sevini who were also in deep thought.

"Is there anything?" Xu Yi was a little puzzled. He had told him not to disturb his private conversation with Sevini.

"Will... Lord, Kamadu City... Lord is here." The young man gasped.

"Oh? The city lord is here again?" Xu Yi blinked and turned to Severy and smiled at Severy. "Your Highness, are you interested in watching a good show?" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
