Sevigny came to Bonta City many times during the year, but except for the first time, he only stayed for a few days and left every time he came.

This time was no exception.

After three days of counseling with Xu Yi with McConley and Sahas, Sevigny and the two left Bonta City.

In fact, there was no formal result in this discussion, because although Sevigny did not refuse again to Xu Yi's conditions, he never relented and agreed.

Although Severny never agreed to his conditions, he still assured Sevini that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would fulfill the agreement signed before, deliver a series of magic machine tools and equipment needed by the military arsenal on time, and at the same time prepared the contract for those slaves the day before the three of them left, and signed a transfer agreement with Sevini on the spot.

From the day of the signing of the treaty, the slaves who were going to work in the arsenal could already be regarded as the property of Severny.

Xu Yi's approach was so refreshing that both Sevigny and McConley were a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for Xu Yi's conditions, they really couldn't agree to it, I'm afraid that Severny and McConley wouldn't have hesitated to sign the final agreement at all.

In fact, neither Sevigny nor McConley knew that Xu Yi had put forward this condition, and he had never expected them to agree.

According to Xu Yi's understanding, not only are all the iron mines in the Lampari Kingdom basically under the control of the Joseph family, but according to the agreement between His Majesty the first king of the kingdom and the Joseph family, even if the kingdom military expands the territory of the Lampari Kingdom in the future, then the territory that has been beaten down will also be regarded as the territory of the kingdom. Among them, iron ore is still considered to be part of the agreement.

Therefore, even if Severny and McConley wanted to agree to Xu Yi's condition, they would not be able to get around the mountain of the Joseph family.

But Xu also deliberately put forward this condition, knowing that they would not be able to agree. To put it bluntly, it's just asking for a sky-high price to pay back on the spot.

Severny and McConley did not agree to Xu Yi's conditions because Xu Yi's conditions included iron ore. There must be obstacles from the Joseph family.

However, Xu Yi's condition refers to all minerals, and all minerals are not only iron ore, but also various non-ferrous metal ores.

Although the Joseph family controlled the iron mines in the Lampari Kingdom, and almost all the copper mines under the acquiescence of the successive kings, other non-ferrous metal mines were not taken seriously in the entire Sainz continent, and naturally they were not taken into account by the Joseph family.

Xu Yi wants to obtain the mining rights and even the right to control the non-ferrous metal veins, so there is not so much resistance.

Of course, if you want to be in the Lampari Kingdom. Mining under the noses of the Joseph family would obviously encounter all kinds of difficulties, so although Xu Yi obviously had the distribution map of the various ore veins provided by the five dwarves in his hand, his first target was the non-ferrous metal veins in the Heimi Wasteland.

And the second target, he simply put it abroad.

In fact, the Lampari Kingdom and the Sark Kingdom have been in constant disputes on the northern border, and the territory controlled by both sides has advanced and retreated. Not to mention really turning the territory of the other side into one's own.

Therefore, after careful consideration of the condition proposed by Xu Yi, the three of Sevigny found that it was actually similar to empty talk.

So the three of them strongly objected to Xu Yi's proposal at first, but later said that they could continue to discuss. But you need to go back and study it carefully before you can decide.

This result was expected by Xu Yi, and it was also the result that he had planned.

His goal was not to directly achieve the ultimate goal this time, but to hope that the conditions proposed by Tong Guò this time would allow the royal military to take the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into their consideration. If you encounter something similar in the future, you can consider Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So when it was time to say goodbye to the three of Sevigny. Although the three of Severny were smiling because Xu Yi agreed happily, Xu Yi did not see the slightest loss. The same big smile.

After seeing the convoy of Sevini and his party go away, Kennard, who also came to see him off, suddenly whispered to Xu Yi: "President, what do you think of Her Royal Highness?"

Xu Yi was slightly stunned: "What's how?"

"That is...... I think Her Royal Highness is a ...... Well, is it someone to follow?" Kennard asked, with some flickering words.

Xu Yi looked at Kennard, who had an unnatural expression, and smiled lightly: "I don't know if I follow or not, but as far as I know about Her Royal Highness, she is a person who has the same ideals as me." We all want to improve the lives of the people in the kingdom with the power in our hands, so we are working in the same direction. I think as long as Her Royal Highness doesn't change her mind, I will always support her. ”

Kennard didn't expect Xu Yi to answer so clearly and clearly, he looked at Xu Yi in surprise for a while, and then nodded and said, "I also have the same pursuit, so President, I will try my best to help you." ”

Xu Yi laughed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, we are people who do practical things, don't talk about these empty words." You said you would try to help me, but what about the salary structure adjustment plan that you said? It's been almost three and a half months, and I haven't seen the plan yet. You're telling me now that you've worked hard?"

Kennard immediately exclaimed with a bitter face, "President, you can't blame me for this. I was about to finish the statistics and was ready to make a detailed plan, but I didn't expect Grand Magician Camilla to suddenly make such an astonishing decision, and now the employees in our Chamber of Commerce have changed dramatically, and all the statistics I did before were in vain. ”

"Then when do you think this plan will be handed over to me?" Xu Yi continued to ask without any relaxation.

"This ......" Kennard pondered for a moment and sighed, "Now because the Chamber of Commerce has recruited a large number of more magicians who can complete the magic array drawing work and research work, coupled with a large increase in orders, it will definitely recruit a large number of workers to increase production in the future." So I'm afraid it will take a while for this salary structure statistics to be completed, when will the plan be released...... I'm afraid I can't say for sure right now. ”

"Then you should also give an approximate time, right?" Xu Yi said. "In addition, wage structure adjustment does not need to wait until all workers have been recruited, and the salary standards for these types of work should be determined before the workers are recruited. When the recruited workers enter the factory, they can directly apply this standard. ”

"Hmm. I think so too, so I've been doing it these days. Kennard took a breath. Said confidently: "Give me another ten days, and I will definitely take out the plan." ”

"That's right. Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"But President, everyone else's salary structure is good, but there is one person I can't do. Kennard added.

"Well, who is not good at it, is it yourself?" Xu Yi asked with some surprise.

"How can I compare to his old man, I'm talking about the Grand Magician Camilla. Kennard said. "President, you said that a special researcher of his level, how should I set the salary standard?"

Xu Yi frowned and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if you ask me this question." Last time I asked him how the old man should pay him, and he came and told me to do it. He doesn't care. After careful consideration, I found that this is indeed a very serious problem. It's definitely not okay to open it low, but if it's too high, it seems to be too damaging to the confidence of the other researchers in the institute. ”

"Otherwise, Camilla's salary should not be set at a particularly high level, but according to the reward system of the research institute, His Excellency the Great Magician will definitely receive a lot of rewards, so we might as well increase the reward amount, which can not only indirectly increase the salary of the Great Magician. It can also boost the motivation of the researchers, what do you think?" Kennard said.

"It's a good idea. Okay, you go back and study carefully, how to determine the most appropriate amount. Xu Yi waved his hand. This is the end of the discussion.

Watching Kennard take out a small notebook and write down what he said honestly, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a trace of happiness in his heart.

Before Kennard came, many things in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had to be done by him. And now with Kennard as the general manager, he only needs to wave his hand a lot of the time. Explain your thoughts and decisions, and Kennard will naturally complete them.

Although it was only less than two months after entering the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. But Kennard has already demonstrated his ability to excel.

Under his management, the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has run much more smoothly than before, and its efficiency has improved a lot.

Xu Yi often sighs that he is a treasure who has fallen from the world, and often worries that if he leaves suddenly, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is afraid that there will be no successor, and it will fall into chaos.

Kennard didn't know how hard it took to write down a few words by bowing his head, so many thoughts turned in Xu Yi's head, and after recording the next work, he looked up at the sky and said to Xu Yi: "President, the relocation ceremony of the orchid herb living community is about to start, let's rush over now." ”

Xu Yi looked up and found that the sun had risen obliquely above his head, so he nodded, summoned the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and drove towards the southwest of the city-state Tower City.

###

The so-called orchid vanilla living community is actually a new living community composed of the batch of houses that were still built as mentioned by Grand Magician Camilla last time.

To put it simply, it is a community that is still being built.

According to the overall renovation project of Bang Ta City discussed by Xu Yi and Count Satsuma, the first step was to re-plan the suburbs of Bang Ta City.

In this first phase of the plan, three villages, including the village of Mirdan, where the hometown of Grand Magician Camilla and Steele are located, are among the demolitions.

This orchid herb living community was prepared for the villagers of these three villages.

When it comes to building houses, it always reminds people of the houses that are built everywhere in the Celestial Empire on Earth.

Almost all of them give the impression of poor quality, poor environment, and in short, various shortcomings, so that the villagers who are forced to relocate are always very reluctant to do so.

However, the construction of houses in this pandan grass living community is a different story entirely.

The standard of living of the people on the continent of Sainz is not high, and the living standards of ordinary civilians in the Lampari Kingdom, who have just recovered from the turmoil, are even lower.

In ordinary villages outside Bunta, such as Mirdan, most of the houses inhabited were small wooden huts made of broken wooden planks, or stone houses made of stone and earth walls.

These two types of houses are not of any quality at all, and they cannot even ensure the most basic functions of keeping out the cold, and even if it rains a little heavily, the house will leak into a piece.

Living in this kind of house, the living environment of the villagers can be regarded as miserable in Xu Yi's opinion.

With the advice and financial support of Xu Yi, the houses in the entire community are made of reinforced concrete to water the foundation columns, and the walls are built with good masonry mixed with cement bricks and plaster, and the whole structure is extremely strong and reliable.

And after the completion of the house, the exterior wall of the house is also painted with white lime, so that the whole house looks white and neat from the outside, and the whole house is designed by the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, which looks very beautiful and generous, and it is simply an excellent house.

What's more, in addition to the houses in the community, Xu also asked the elves in the chamber of commerce to work together and spend time greening the entire community.

After the final completion, the entire community is neatly lined up with rows of beautiful two-story huts, shrouded in all kinds of exotic flowers and trees that the ordinary people of Bangta City cannot recognize at all.

Therefore, just seeing that these houses were still being built, the villagers of the three villages, including Mirdan Village, who had various concerns about relocation before, decided to relocate without hesitation.

Even after seeing that the houses were still being built, some villagers from other villages who were not in the relocation plan even took the initiative to ask for relocation.

Regarding this situation, Xu Yi can only sigh in his heart.

Being poor also has the advantage of being poor. (To be continued......)
