What happened in the southern waters of the Candela Empire thousands of kilometers away had no impact on the Principality of Stantin and the New Air Chamber of Commerce. ←

In recent times, the most eye-catching thing in the Principal of Statin, and even in several surrounding countries is a bill that the Principal of Statin is resolving.

The bill was proposed by Xu Yi, the president of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, as an ordinary member of parliament.

According to Xu Yi's unparalleled influence in the Stantin Principal, no matter any proposal, it would have been easily passed, but this proposal took two months to enter the final agreement process of Congress, and it would have to be decided by a public vote by members of Congress before the resolution would take effect.

The reason why this proposal is so difficult is because the content of the proposal is too amazing.

The content of this proposal is to abolish slavery!

When Xu Yi first proposed this proposal, everyone thought he was crazy at all.

Since the money elves ruled the entire continent for thousands of years, slavery has always existed on this continent. Until now, the history of slaves has even exceeded tens of thousands of years.

During these tens of thousands of years, no matter how the continent changes, the slavery system has not changed at all. Even for more than two thousand years before and after the race war, slaves reached their peak throughout the continent.

Before the race war, the elves treated almost all other races as slaves, and after the race war, humans frantically captured other races to use them as slaves.

As for humans themselves, they will also regard a large number of similar people as slaves.

For all people on the Continent of Sines, the existence of slaves has long been a normal state that everyone is accustomed to. No one would think there is anything wrong with this.

Now Xu Yi suddenly ran out and said that he wanted to abolish the slavery system. This is simply challenging everyone's common sense and challenging the default rules of the entire continent.

Especially those slave owners who have gained a lot of benefits from slaves, they even sneered at Xu Yi's proposal and strongly opposed it.

Originally, because of the huge influence of the New Air Chamber of Commerce on the Principality of Stantin, all the lords in the principality could only cooperate obediently and did not dare to have any objection to any of Xu Yi's proposals.

However, when Xu Yi threw out this proposal, these lords who had always obediently followed Xu Yi's arrangements actually expressed their opposition to the proposal in unison.

In the first vote on this proposal, the votes received by this proposal were surprisingly zero!

This shows how big the impact this proposal has on everyone and how strong the opposition it has received.

However, with the strong influence of the New Air Chamber of Commerce on the Principality of Stantin and with the strong promotion of Xu Yi, this proposal still received more votes of approval little by little, and finally entered the final agreement process.

And today is the day when the Commission of State of the Principality of Stantin initiates the final agreed procedure for this proposal.

As long as this proposal is passed today, it means that the Principality of Stantin will indeed officially abolish slavery from today.

According to incomplete statistics, the total number of slaves in the Stantin Mansion now is about 160,000 to 170,000.

Once the slavery system is abolished, these more than 160,000 slaves will become ordinary civilians, so the social impact will undoubtedly be extremely huge.

So whether this proposal is passed or not can be said to have caused the entire Principality of Stantin to fall into great turmoil.

In the eyes of many, this is not a good thing.

"Why should I vigorously promote the abolition of slavery?" Xu Yi looked at Baron Henas sitting opposite him with a smile. He slowly shook his head. "Of course it's not because, as many people say, I and the saints, are ashamed of the suffering of slaves, so I want to abolish this system and liberate them."

"You can't deny this completely, right? From your attitude towards the slaves in your name, you have always been very gentle to your attitude towards slaves." Baron Hainas asked.

Although today is the final agreed procedure time for the Congress of the Principality of Stantin on Xu Yi's proposal to abolish slavery, because this matter is too eye-catching, several countries around have sent people to pay attention to this matter, and countless newspapers have also targeted this matter with the intention of reporting it.

The final agreement process of Congress began in the afternoon, so in the morning, Xu Yi held a special press conference to accept interviews and questions from various newspapers.

Now at this press conference, reporters from almost all newspapers from the surrounding countries, including Lampari, Rulson, Drakh, Milando, Norton, etc., even the Kingdom of Sachs sent three newspapers to report on this matter.

The total number of reporters even exceeded 500, filling the originally spacious hall with almost nowhere to stay.

The reporters were well-informed, so they naturally knew that Xu Yi had a deep personal friendship with Baron Haynas, the editor-in-chief of Lampari Weekly, so the first question was consciously left to him.

"From my personal perspective, I really don't want to see slaves being treated cruelly. Because for me, there is actually no distinction between slaves and civilians. Everyone is the same human being. Why do you still have to distinguish between them and treat their own kind as cruelly as beasts?" Xu Yi said seriously.

"But in slaves, there are many foreign races, besides humans, should they be treated as similar people?" a reporter suddenly asked loudly.

Other reporters turned to look at the reporter who asked the question, thinking that this guy was simply an idiot.

It’s a bit confusing to ask other people about this question. Isn’t it a waste of time to ask Xu Yi?

Sure enough, Xu Yi smiled lightly and replied, "There is not much difference between other races and humans, right? Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has hired so many employees of other races over the years, and I don't see from them that there is anything particularly different from us humans. If you really want to say that, it is probably that their respective cultures are different. But even among us humans, aren't there cultural differences caused by different ethnic regions? So I don't think this is a problem."

"President Xu, let's get back to the point. What you just answered was to consider from a personal perspective. I hope to abolish slavery. But you are the president of the New Air Chamber of Commerce after all. You are a big figure with strong influence that everyone knows. It is obviously impossible for you to consider this proposal entirely from your personal perspective, right?" another reporter asked.

"Of course." Xu Yi nodded at all and nodded to admit it. "Of course, this proposal has also been considered from a holistic perspective."

"President Xu, I am a reporter from the Kingdom of Rulson. Before I came here, I heard about it. In our Kingdom of Rulson, there is a chamber of commerce that specializes in making magic lamps. Because they use slave workers, the cost of the magic lamps they produce is lower, and the price is much lower than your new flying magic lamps. It is very popular in our Kingdom of Rulson. Are you now proposing to abolish the slavery system because you noticed the threat from this chamber of commerce?" Another reporter from the crowd asked loudly.

All the reporters in the audience had a look on their faces.

This is the first time that many people have heard of this news. If it is true, then the reason why Xu Yi proposed this proposal is intriguing.

Xu Yi glanced at the reporter and asked back, "You are talking about the Sanchi Chamber of Commerce in Rio, right?"

The reporter was stunned for application and did not answer, obviously he made accusation.

Xu Yi smiled and continued: "First of all, my proposal is only aimed at the Principality of Stantin. Even if this proposal is finally passed, it will not affect the Kingdom of Rulson. The Sanche Chamber of Commerce wants to continue to use slave workers, but there is still no problem and will not be affected in any way."

Everyone in the audience nodded.

The Principality of Stantin can only be regarded as a small country, which is much worse than the Kingdom of Rursson.

If it weren't for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce here and this proposal was too shocking, otherwise not many people would have paid too much attention to the policies of such a small country.

"Secondly, the magic lamp produced by the Sanchi Chamber of Commerce did not pass the quality inspection of the Magic Industry Administration of the Kingdom of Ruhrson, but chose to sell it privately. It has seriously violated the Magic Industry Administration of the Kingdom of Ruhrson. It is now under investigation by the Magic Industry Administration of the Kingdom of Ruhrson and is instructed to suspend business and rectify it. Do you know this?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the face of the reporter who claimed to be the Rulson Kingdom, and found that his expression was a little awkward.

Obviously, he knew about this, but he deliberately chose not to say it.

"In the end, why do you think I would regard the magic lamps produced by such a chamber of commerce as a threat? I think... no journalist here would think that this Sanche Chamber of commerce would pose a threat to our New Flying Chamber of commerce?"

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but nod.

They have never heard of this Sanchi Chamber of Commerce. What can I compare with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

This guy actually thought Xu Yi felt that the Sangqi Chamber of Commerce had posed a threat to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which was ridiculous!

A hint of blush flashed across the reporter's face and he shouted randomly and dissatisfiedly: "President Xu, maybe the Sanqi Chamber of Commerce will not pose any threat to your New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, but you must be afraid that other chambers of commerce will also use slave workers to reduce costs to compete with your New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce? You want to abolish slavery so much, because you have anticipated this situation!"

Other reporters in the audience fell into silence.

In fact, this is also their doubts.

If we were not considering from the perspective of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, why would Xu Yi have to work so hard and spend so much effort to abolish the slavery system in the face of opposition from so many people?

"Maybe you are right, this is indeed a problem. But I must remind you of the fact that it is not just now, even a few years ago, many chambers of commerce were adopting slave workers, but they did not have special advantages. Do you understand why?" Xu Yi asked back.

Everyone looked at each other and found that Xu Yi's question sounded unreasonable at first, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is very worth pondering.

Yes, it has not been a day or two for slaves to exist on the Continent of Sines.

Now a large number of chambers of commerce producing magic machinery have emerged in these countries around them. Many of them have adopted a large number of slave workers to reduce production costs, but this has not given them much advantage.

This is not for the New Aircraft Chamber, because in the magic industry, it is impossible for any chamber of commerce to be comparable to the New Aircraft Chamber.

Instead, compared with other chambers of commerce in the same industry, chambers of commerce that adopt slaves did not gain particularly great advantages.

"This is the biggest reason why I hope to abolish slavery, and it is also the conclusion I came to after overall consideration. In fact, the reason is very simple. In my opinion, the vast majority of slaves cannot be regarded as a complete labor force."

"Because slaves generally cannot receive education and do not have any enthusiasm or initiative, even if they participate in production, they are only completely passive. Such workers will not only not reduce production costs in actual production, but will actually significantly affect production efficiency and product quality."

"From a businessman's perspective, these slave workers are completely negative assets of the Chamber of Commerce. What I want to do now is to convert these negative assets into positives!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
