"It seems you have noticed this problem too." Sewini nodded to Xu Yi. "This shows that this problem is already very serious and you can't delay it."

"Depend?" Xu Yi frowned slightly. "What? Is it difficult to change this?"

When I saw the crowded situation at the gate outside Anweimar City just now, Xu Yi thought about the issue of abolishing the entry tax.

But when he entered the city and had not had time to meet Steele, he was directly found by the waiter sent by the palace and told Her Majesty the Queen to summon him as soon as possible.

Just as Xu Yi had many things to set the tone with Sevini as soon as possible, he asked Lis, Linda and Yanis to escort Freia to the agreed place to meet Steele, and he followed the waiter to meet Sevini.

As soon as he saw Sevini, Xu Yi first told him what he had seen at the city gate, and then proposed to Sevini that it was obviously outdated.

Sewini agreed with his proposal very much, but now he seems to have encountered some difficulties.

"Of course." Sewini spread his hands, looking a little helpless. "City gate tax has always been an important source of income for major cities in the kingdom. If you want to cancel it all at once, it will of course arouse many people's opposition."

Xu Yi frowned a little, looking puzzled.

"What era is this? There are cities relying on the entry tax as their main tax revenue?"

Sevini gave Xu Yi a blank look: "Of course, everything is the same as Bonta City. The annual tax revenue is even more than 2 million gold coins. Don't you worry about the mere tax entry tax? Let me tell you, according to this year's financial statistics estimate, there are more than half of the cities in the country. The annual tax revenue of more than half of the cities is less than 200,000 gold coins. For these cities, the tax entry tax of more than 50,000 gold coins that can be collected in a year is of course very important."

Xu Yi couldn't help but shook his head: "It's clear that there are such a good example of Bonta City in the kingdom, but I don't know how to learn it and live a poor life like before. What are the lords of these cities thinking? Sevini, this should be considered as the dereliction of duty of Her Majesty, right? They are all cities in the Kingdom of Lampari, you can't favor one or the other."

Sewini snorted softly, pouting slightly like a little girl.

"Do you think I don't want to make all the cities in the kingdom as rich as Bonta? But it takes time. Besides, the situation in every city in the kingdom is different. Take several cities in the northwest province as an example. Because the terrain there is very complex, it is extremely difficult to build a road and the transportation is extremely unfavorable. If it were you, would you be willing to invest in a factory there?"

Xu Yi could only shake his head.

He is a businessman, so of course he has to choose a way to maximize his interests.

In a remote mountainous area with extremely inconvenient transportation in the northwest province, the investment cost required will be several times the investment cost of investing in other cities. Of course, he will not do such a loss-making business.

"So, no matter how much I want to change the situation of the entire kingdom, I can only take my time." Sevini glanced at Xu Yi. "Isn't this what you often say to me before?"

Xu Yi touched his nose and thought that he was not in his position and was not in charge of his affairs. He was not the king of the Lampari Kingdom. Of course, he didn't need to worry about the entire Lampari Kingdom.

"But this matter is not without a solution." Xu Yi suddenly changed his subject. "Take this city tax as an example, reforms in the entire kingdom will be opposed, so let's choose a few pilot projects first."

"Pilot?" Sevini looked at Xu Yi in confusion.

"Do you remember before that I hope His Majesty Lampari XIII will set the Bangta City area into a special economic zone?" Xu Yi asked again.

"Well, that idea is good, but unfortunately, due to the situation in the kingdom, I couldn't continue to implement it. I had considered re-implementing this plan before, but I was temporarily put on hold because of my concerns." Sevini said.

"It's different now than before. In the past, I hoped that Bangta City would become a special economic zone so that I could make some reforms in Bangta City. Now that the entire kingdom is under your control, why do you have to force a special economic zone out? Of course, this plan is used to change the entry tax, which means that you can first select several cities as a pilot, so that these cities can cancel the entry tax and use it as an experiment." Xu Yi said.

"I understand what you mean." Sevini nodded. "If the test results are good, then there will be no reason for other cities to object. But what if the results are not good? And even if the results are good, some cities in the kingdom do not have the conditions to cancel the entry tax, what should we do?"

"Simple, then you will force this reform plan. As for those inadequate conditions, such as those in the western provinces, subsidies and special support will be provided from the kingdom's finances."

Xu Yi described the practical operability of this plan to Sewini based on various reform plans obtained on the earth.

Although he was not sure how the details should be implemented, he was not a talent in this area, so he just needed to propose a general direction.

After hearing these general solutions, Sevini's eyes shone brightly, and he obviously had found the answer in his heart.

"In addition, subsidies from the Kingdom finance alone cannot fundamentally solve this problem, nor can they allow cities with poor conditions to undergo fundamental changes. So I suggest that we also find ways to solve the problems of these cities and increase their tax revenue. This is the key."

Sevini glared at Xu Yi: "You said it easily. If there was such a good method, I would have used it long ago."

After saying that, seeing the smiley expression on Xu Yi's face, Sevini immediately felt aroused: "You already have a solution in your mind, right?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "This is just a simple idea of ​​mine, and it is not a solution."

"Don't worry about that much, let's talk about it?" Sevini looked very interested.

Xu Yi coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

"Since different cities have different conditions, don't limit themselves to making each city rich like Bonta City, relying on the development of the magic industry. After all, besides the magic industry, there are many other industries that can make money."

Sevini was slightly stunned.

It was really beyond her expectations that Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, heard his suggestions on developing industries other than the magic industry.

"For example...Batru City. When I passed by last time, I found that this Baatru City did not have any scarce resources. It was because it was mountains and rivers and the terrain was not good, so it was very limited if it wanted to develop. But there was another very precious resource there."

"What resource?" Sevini asked, recalling the information he had seen about Batru City in his mind, but still couldn't remember anything worth noting.

"It's the hot spring."

"Hot spring?" Sevini frowned slightly. "I heard that there are many natural hot springs on the mountains near Batru City. It is very comfortable to soak in it. But what's the use of this?"

"Of course it's useful." Xu Yi exaggeratedly raised his voice. "The hot springs not only represent excellent tourism resources, but also a large number of geothermal resources. If it can be used well, Batru City can definitely be built into a hot spring city, attracting many people to travel there. Moreover, because of the rich geothermal resources, the entire Batru City actually only needs a little development to meet this requirement."

"City of Hot Springs?" Sewini frowned and thought for a while, and nodded slightly. "This is a good suggestion, but it must require a lot of initial investment, which is a difficult problem..."

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Sevini found that this was definitely not something that could be thought of in a short while, so he put it aside and asked Xu Yi: "What about those cities in the northwest province? There are no rich hot spring resources there, and the terrain is even worse than Batru City. What can you do to change this situation?"

Xu Yi smiled and said, "My dear Queen, if you want, even if the terrain of the cities in the northwest province is so complex and harsh, there is a way to build a road inside to make their traffic smooth."

Sewini sighed and shook his head: "No. I have asked the Amley Chamber of Commerce to explore on the spot. President Cruise personally told me that their chamber of commerce is powerless. Even the Amley Chamber of Commerce can't do it, and I think this is impossible."

Xu Yi laughed and said, "That's because President Cruise has not discussed it with me before. If he knew that our Chamber of Commerce would immediately develop a new engineering magic machine with higher power and higher performance, I believe he would definitely take back this sentence."

Sevini looked up and down at Xu Yi, with a look of angry and funny on his face.

"After working for a long time, you came to me to promote the latest products of your Chamber of Commerce? President Xu, you have the leisure to promote your newly developed engineering magic machinery. So I want to ask, when will the 100 magic airships I ordered from your Chamber of Commerce be delivered? If there are those 100 magic airships, I think any responsible terrain will not be an obstacle, right?"

"Well..." Xu Yi smiled awkwardly. "Her Majesty, the magic airship will also be greatly limited, not as powerful as you think. As for when to deliver the goods... Our Chamber of Commerce is working hard to improve production capacity, and I believe that it will be possible to give you an accurate reply in no time."

Sewini snorted coldly, but did not continue to ask Xu Yi.

Xu Yi wiped his sweat and decided to put the topic aside first, touched it in his arms, took out a thin booklet, and handed it over.

"When I just entered the city, I saw many magic motorcycles waiting outside the city gate. I suddenly thought of a question and recorded it. Please check it out."

Of course, Sewini would not believe that this book was compiled by Xu Yi for a moment, but seeing his expression so serious, he nodded and took it.

When I opened the cover, I found that there was a long title written in large characters on the first page - On the important role of energy standardization in the magic industrial system. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
