Chapter 77
"Your Highness, this is the final financial statistics of the shop. Please check it out."
Sevini glanced at the final financial statistics report of the Sevini Chamber of Commerce held in the hands of his deacon, sighed softly, took it and glanced at it, and smiled bitterly.
"I didn't expect that after only a few months of driving, I actually earned thousands of gold coins. No wonder those people tried their best to drive the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce out."
The deacon looked at Sevini with some confusion, thinking to himself, why did His Highness the Princess have to mention the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce when he saw this financial statement?
Is it really as the rumors say that His Highness the Princess is actually close to the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so he has been paying attention to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
"Take out all these thousands of gold coins, buy all the grain, and then distribute it to the people in the villages outside Tag City. They suffered from floods some time ago, and these grains should help them survive this period of time." Sevini said.
"Yes." The deacon nodded and responded, then smiled and praised: "Your Highness, you are so kind. Those villagers are not the people of our territory. You have to think about them. If the lord of Tag City knows, he will definitely feel extremely ashamed."
"Although they are not people in my territory, they are people in the Kingdom of Lampari. As a princess, I should care about them." Sevini responded lightly.
"But your..." The deacon paused, and finally swallowed the words that had already reached their throat.
Sevini glanced at him, with a warning in his eyes, and waved his hand: "Okay. You go down and arrange these things."
The deacon quickly nodded vigorously and retreated.
Seeing the figure of the deacon disappearing outside the door, Sevini sighed faintly and smiled bitterly.
It is certainly not her intention to close the Sewini Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, Sevini planned to make the Sevini Chamber of Commerce a window for those forced to stay in touch with the Kingdom of Lampari through his own efforts, thus continuing to maintain this relationship.
But just a while ago, Eric summoned her and had a long talk with her.
During the conversation, Eric made it clear to Sewini that he hoped she would not rashly interfere with the kingdom's internal affairs, because this would make him, the king, embarrassed.
Although Sevini proposed that the Magic Industry Administration and the ten chambers of commerce that represented the interests of a group of great nobles in the kingdom and squeezed out the Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce, which had had a very bad impact on the Kingdom of Lampari, she did so just to try her best to recover some losses.
But Eric did not support Sewini's idea. He said that the Magic Industry Administration's approach was actually to gain the support of a large number of stubborn conservative nobles in the kingdom. The situation was irreversible, and even the king could not save it, let alone Sewini, the princess who did not have much real power.
However, Eric also said that he was very clear about the current changes in the situation in the kingdom, and he was working hard to control the situation.
Eric hinted to Sewini that he was now regaining real power from the group of nobles led by Duke Stark, trying to completely control the entire Lampari Kingdom. So I hope Sewini would not make any moves during this period, so as not to disrupt his arrangements.
Although Sewini did not completely agree with Eric's idea, she thought that Eric was sitting on this throne now. As Eric's own sister, she should certainly support him strongly, so she was convinced by Eric in the end.
Subsequently, Sevini stopped all the business of Sevini Chamber of Commerce and gradually closed all the shops of Sevini Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari, and gradually handed over the factories under its name to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration.
So far, Severyne has declared that all the efforts made by Severyne Chamber of Commerce have been wasted.
Compared with the Severy Chamber of Commerce before the establishment of the Sevini Chamber of Commerce, the current Kingdom of Lampari is firmly controlled by those ten chambers of commerce, or by the great nobles.
In Sevini's view, the situation in the kingdom was only worse.
This naturally made Sewini feel frustrated.
She originally wanted to change the situation in the entire kingdom with her own strength, but she didn't expect that she had just started to move and died in the middle.
Thinking of Xu Yi's "naive" comment on her behavior before, Sevini couldn't help but smile bitterly again.
"I hope Eric can successfully carry out his plan and regain control of the kingdom step by step." Sewini sighed softly, shook his head, and threw this question aside.
Because the Sevini Chamber of Commerce was closed, many refugees who had previously arranged for work in the Sevini Chamber of Commerce needed new places.
Of course, Sevini would not send them back to their original territory and continue to be exploited by those lords.
However, continuing to keep them in their own territory also violates the rules between the nobles, making the entire royal family the target of blame and making Eric more passive.
So Sevini thought about it and found that he could only ask Xu Yi for help again.
Fortunately, Xu Yi basically agreed to Sewini's request. After receiving Sewini's request, he agreed to help her arrange the refugees without saying a word.
In addition to the refugees who have been wandering into Sevini territory during this period, the total number of refugees fleeing from other places in Sevini territory has now exceeded 2,000.
Even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is difficult to digest so many people at once. Xu Yi still joined forces with dozens of other chambers of commerce in the Black Mi Wasteland to accept all these refugees.
However, most of these refugees worked in magic machinery factories run by noble lords in the territory for a while, and had a certain skill level, so it was easier to integrate into these chambers of commerce.
The question that Sewini needs to consider now is how to get a suitable identity for these refugees.
Although many refugees were in exile in the whole family, some refugees still had relatives and friends in their hometowns. They were likely to return to the Kingdom of Lampari in the future. If they were sent out now and wanted to come back, they would lose their legal status in the Kingdom of Lampari.
This issue is not too difficult for Sewini. In her identity, it is not a problem to ask the Civil Affairs Office of the Kingdom Parliament for some legal status of the Kingdom's people.
The only problem is that this number is a bit too high.
While considering whether to divide it into several batches to solve this problem, the door that was closed by the deacon just now was suddenly pushed open.
Sevini looked up in shock, but found that the deacon was returning, and there was another person around him.
This man seemed to be weak all over. With the support of the deacon, he barely stood up. His clothes were messy. His hair was even more puffy, and he looked no different from those refugees who fled to Sevini's private territory.
However, if you look carefully, you can still see that this person is completely different from those refugees.
Although the clothes worn by this man are messy and ragged, they are clearly made of very high-end fabrics, with extremely fine workmanship and very novel styles. They are simply impossible to be a clothes that ordinary refugees can afford.
Moreover, his body is slender, and although most of his exposed skin is covered by dust and blood, he can still see that he is very fair and delicate. How can he think it is completely different from those refugees who are used to doing rough work, strong body, rough and dark skin.
"Your Highness." The deacon called Sevini and prepared to support the man in the seat beside him.
Sewini was wondering who this person was. Why did the Great Deacon look very familiar with him and bring him here directly, but the man seemed to hear the Great Deacon's voice and suddenly raised his head.
The eyes collided with Sevini. Sevini had just shown a surprised expression, but the man didn't know where he suddenly got his strength. He broke free from the support of the deacon, rushed to Sevini, knelt down with a plop, hugged Sevini's calves, and started crying loudly.
"Your Highness the Princess! Save me! Save me! Our whole family... was killed by those damn guys... I almost... almost killed too... Save me..."
Sevini was shocked and quickly possessed himself and helped him up, staring at his dirty face, which was originally covered with soil, but now it was wiped out by tears, confirming that he had read it wrong just now. This person was indeed Jiawen, the youngest son of General Dema.
Because General Dema had served Lampari XIII in close service when Sevini was very young, and his youngest son, Garvan, was about the same age as Sevini, so the two had been playmates together since childhood, and Sevini and Garvan were quite familiar with each other.
Although the relationship between the two has become much weaker due to the gap in identity when they grow up, the two sides still often meet.
Last year, Sevini attended the funeral of Dema General Manager last year, chatted with Jiawen for a while, and comforted him to live a good life.
Although Jiawen seemed a little depressed because his father had just passed away, he was still the standard image of a noble young man.
But he didn't expect that a year has passed and he has become so depressed now.
What surprised Sewini even more was what he said.
"What did you say? Your whole family... were killed?" Sevini looked at Garwin in shock. "What did you say was killed? Who has such a courage to kill all your family?"
Jiawen shook his head tremblingly: "I...I don't know...I was sleeping well, but suddenly I was woken up. Then I saw a group of people rushing into the house and my family was killed. I...I was still stuck in the secret passage by the servants... I escaped..."
Seeing that Jiawen couldn't explain clearly, Sevini couldn't help frowning.
"Do you have no clue?"
Jiawen shook his head blankly: "I don't know... I don't know... I have nothing... no! There should be clues here! My father told me before his death that if something happens to the family, I will find you and give these things to you."
Jiawen touched her arms and found a small package wrapped in thick kraft paper.
The outside of the kraft paper was covered with sweat and blood, and it looked dirty, but Sevini snatched it from Jiawen without any scruples.
The Dema General Manager would actually treat these words to the Jiawen family before his death. There must be something strange about it.
When I opened the kraft paper, I found that it was wrapped in an enveloped letter, a bound booklet, and a small bottle containing half a bottle of unknown, with a trace of purple liquid.
Sevini picked up the bottle and looked at it. He couldn't see what was going on, so he put it aside, thought about it, and opened the sealing mud of the envelope.
After opening the letter, Sevini's eyes shrank suddenly. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
