Chapter 65 The Wave of Opposition
King Eric pinched his forehead hard, and felt his whole head hurt so much that it was about to explode.
The reason for this phenomenon is that he has not been able to sleep well for several months, and the other is that he has been in front of him.
Although these official documents seem to be a lot, they all say the same thing, that is, a bloody conflict that broke out in Bonta City before.
If, in a general sense, this bloody conflict was just an accident, not worthy of too much attention, and it would not be possible that His Majesty, the noble king, would also be troubled by him.
But the problem is that the significance behind this bloody conflict is too complex and too important, which has triggered a response or even rebound from a bunch of people in the entire Lampari Kingdom, which is why it is so serious.
This bloody conflict is very simple on the surface, but the Bangta City Guards lost their way while performing their mission and killed a civilian.
Such things have happened many times in the history of the Kingdom of Lampari. In the past, they were directly banishing the civilians, and at most they could settle the matter with some money.
However, as soon as this happened, it was immediately disclosed and attracted the attention and reaction of almost everyone in the kingdom in a short period of time.
The fundamental reason for this bloody conflict is that these city guards are in order to implement the regulations of the Lord's Mansion of Bangta City to prevent a chamber of commerce in Bangta City from using farmland magic machinery other than the regulations for harvesting.
After the incident, almost all newspapers in the Kingdom of Lampari reported on this in detail, and many newspapers even followed up, writing clearly both parties and the specific insider of the conflict, so that everyone could know the cause of the conflict.
It is precisely because of the reason that it caused a huge reaction from countless people in the kingdom.
Does the Bangta City Lord's Mansion have the power to stipulate that the designated brand of farmland magic machinery must be used when harvesting farmland?
This question is the core of everyone’s doubts.
In the eyes of most people, the primary goal of farmland harvesting is to complete the harvest smoothly and quickly. As long as you can collect the grain in the fields, it doesn’t matter which brand of farmland magic machinery is used.
Moreover, there are only two brands of farmland magic machinery in the entire Lampari Kingdom. One is the Xinfei brand, which was used by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce in this conflict. Because it was confiscated by the City Guards, it caused a bloody conflict.
Another type is the Hayta brand, which is not only the brand designated for use by Bangta City, but also the brand recommended by the Magic Industry Administration to use in all cities in the Kingdom.
At the same time, the Hayta brand farmland magic machinery is also a brand designated by the Agriculture Department. Before this spring plowing, it has been promoted in many cities in the Kingdom of Lampari and recommended to use it in all cities.
Although neither the Commerce Department nor the Agriculture Department had to use the Hayta brand farmland magic machinery like Bangta City, since it was jointly recommended by the Commerce Department and the Agriculture Department, most cities in the kingdom still replaced the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery they used before with the Hayta brand.
It was nothing like this, but after the bloody conflict in Bangta City broke out, a lot of opposition voices emerged.
The reasons for opposition are mainly concentrated in two points, one of which is that neither the City Lord's Mansion nor the Magic Industry Administration, the Commerce Department or even the Agriculture Department can force the use of certain commodities.
What people want to buy must be voluntarily.
If mandatory, this violates the basic principles.
Another point is mainly focused on the quality of the Hayta brand farmland magic machinery.
According to the news conveyed by various cities through newspapers, the quality of the Hayta brand farmland magic machinery is really not satisfactory.
The fundamental reason why this bloody conflict occurred in Bangta City is that the quality of the Hayta brand farmland magic machinery is too poor. The twenty Hayta brand small magic harvesters purchased by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce were broken, so they were forced to violate the regulations of the Bangta City Lord's Mansion and use the new Flying Farmland magic machinery.
However, in order to enforce the regulations, the City Lord's Mansion had a conflict with the workers of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, which led to a tragedy.
If the quality of the Hayta brand farmland magic machinery could be better, how could this happen?
Moreover, except for Bangta City, the Hayta brand farmland magic machinery performed extremely poorly in other cities.
Newspapers in various places have revealed that locally used Hayta brand farmland magic machinery has various problems during use, resulting in the normal harvesting that cannot continue at all.
Many cities have frequently encountered problems with Hayta brand farmland magic machinery, so they have to re-activate the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery to catch up with the end of spring plowing.
Otherwise, the grain output of the Lampari Kingdom in spring plowing this year might be greatly affected by this.
In most newspapers, the Hayda Chamber of Commerce has been strongly condemned.
Countless people have questioned the Hayda Chamber of Commerce. Why did the Hayda Chamber of Commerce clearly obtain complete technology from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and strong support from the Magic Industry Administration Bureau, but the Hayda Chamber of Commerce has created such poor quality farmland magic machinery?
Not to mention that it is comparable to Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery, at least you must be able to use it normally, right?
However, some newspapers have put forward another part of their views.
The quality of the Sada brand farmland magic machinery is too poor. Of course, these newspapers will not make a forcibly defend, so they threw the problem on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, claiming that this is because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not hand over all the real technology of producing farmland magic machinery to the Sada brand, which led to the poor quality of the Sada brand farmland magic machinery.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not hand over all the technology as required by the Magic Industry Administration, but chose to interrupt the cooperation in the middle, leaving it a mess for the Magic Industry Administration and the ten chambers of commerce represented by the Hayata Chamber of Commerce.
These ten chambers of commerce are now able to produce complete magic machinery, so they have worked hard enough.
In order to support the continued development of these ten chambers of commerce, they will create better and better magic machinery in the future, so that the people in the Kingdom of Lampari can get rid of the restrictions of the new flying magic machinery. I hope everyone can give these ten chambers of commerce more patience and support them.
This view is naturally spoiled by countless people.
It was obvious that the Magic Industry Administration wanted to snatch the big cake of the magic machinery market from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As a result, after snatching the technology, it was not good enough. Now it is still coming to blame the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
This is clearly a bitch and a archway must be established!
An article published in Lampari Weekly pushed this anger towards the ten chambers of commerce to the peak.
This article is an interview with the Dwarf Camby, chief magical mechanical engineer at the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the New Air Chamber of Commerce.
In the interview, Camby replied that the New Air Chamber of Commerce had completely transferred all relevant technologies to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration, and there was no concealment.
The reason why the magic machinery they produced is far less quality than the Xinfei Magic Machinery is that in addition to the production process of these ten chambers of commerce, the most important reason is that they cut corners to save costs.
Take the small magic harvester that caused major problems this time as an example. The Xinfei brand small magic harvester uses special super hardness steel specially refined by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the price per ton is more than 200 gold coins.
However, the Hayta brand small magic harvester uses inferior steel made by the Detroit Chamber of Commerce, one of the ten chambers designated by the Magic Industry Administration. In terms of hardness, toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other indicators, they are far inferior to the special steel used by the Xinfei brand small magic harvester. The price per ton is estimated to be no more than fifty gold coins.
The most common problems with Hayta brand small magic harvesters are parts damage and the most serious shaft breakage, which is because the steel quality is too poor.
The report published in Lampari Weekly lists a series of detailed data given by Cambi, which comprehensively compares the new Flying Small Magic Harvester with the Hayda Small Magic Harvester.
Although the data is boring, it looks very distinct.
By comparison, Hayata brand small magic harvester can undoubtedly be regarded as a serious cut in corners. Of course, the quality cannot be good.
Once this conclusion came out, except for the occasional questioning the data given by Cambi, no one would say a good thing about Hayda Shin-chan again.
So within less than a month of bloody conflict in Bangta City, a series of boycotts against the Hayta Chamber of Commerce broke out in the Kingdom of Lampari. All cities in the Kingdom no longer use any farmland magic machinery produced by the Hayta Chamber of Commerce.
After that, these activities developed into boycotting any magical machinery produced by the ten chambers designated by the Magic Industry Administration.
In the eyes of everyone, it is also one of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration. The magic machinery produced by the Hayda Chamber of Commerce is so bad, and the magic machinery produced by several other chambers of commerce will only be equally bad.
Moreover, before this, there were many oppositions to the quality of magical machinery products produced by several other chambers of commerce in the kingdom, but now they are just taking advantage of this momentum to expand their influence.
The documents placed in front of King Eric are documents sent by the lord's mansions in many cities in the kingdom, claiming that the Magic Industry Administration requires the ten designated chambers of commerce to be reviewed strictly despite the quality of the magic machinery they produce.
Otherwise, a large number of cities in the kingdom would directly refuse to introduce these magical machinery produced by the chamber of commerce.
Among these official documents, there are some more direct ones.
For example, the lord of Thurwell City Earl Samore, declared in the official document that Thurwell City will not be managed by the Magic Industry Administration in the future and will strongly support the development of the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce in the city.
How many eleven cities have made the same choice as Severe, accounting for almost one-third of the Kingdom of Lampari.
If all other cities that have been handed over official documents are included, there will be almost no cities in the entire Lampari Kingdom that still express support for the Magic Industry Administration.
After glanced at the official documents in front of him, King Eric felt his head hurt a little again. He couldn't help but frown deeply, cursed in a low voice, and then felt deeply helpless again.
Although he is now nominally the noble king of the Kingdom of Lampari, there are very few things he can actually control.
Not to mention that these cities and the noble lords who also protested, even the subordinates of the Kingdom Council, the Department of Magical Industry, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Agriculture, should have no influence on any of the departments under his command.
"If Sevini had been asked to be the king, and she had the support of Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't it be much better than me now?"
King Eric smiled bitterly when he heard the familiar footsteps of Duke Stark outside the door. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
