Chapter 102: The Resurgent Kingdom of Ruerson
The same rolling traffic appeared on the three roads leading from the Duchy of Stantin to the Kingdom of Ruersun.
After signing a new aid agreement with the Kingdom of Ruersun, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been sending a large number of various aid supplies to the Duchy of Stantin in the past few months.
In addition to the various daily necessities that are scarce for the people of some of the Ruerson Kingdom due to the complete blockade, there are more materials related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce strengthening the construction of various factories in the Ruerson Kingdom.
According to the current situation in the Kingdom of Luxon, the aid of living materials alone is a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the most fundamental problems.
Therefore, in the aid agreement signed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu also proposed that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should fund the comprehensive development of the magic industry in the Kingdom of Ruersun and build a large number of magic machinery factories to completely solve the work problems of the people of the Kingdom of Luersun, so as to help them fundamentally improve their living conditions and completely solve their survival problems.
Of course, this time is different from the joint venture factories invested and built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Ruerson Kingdom before, and these newly built factories are all owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, whether it is the ownership or main management rights, and even the pricing power of the goods produced.
The only thing the Kingdom of Ruersun could do with these factories was to have the power to collect taxes as usual.
If it is possible, the Ruerson Kingdom is of course unwilling to agree to such conditions, because this is equivalent to taking out everything in their own country and completely handing it over to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which obtains most of the benefits, but its own side can only drink a little leftover soup.
Compared with the previous joint venture between the two parties, the benefits of this model for the Ruerson Kingdom are obviously greatly reduced.
But because the blockade of the Kingdom of Ruerson by the Candela Empire was almost all-round. The only thing I can't take care of. And the only one who dared to risk the wrath of the Candela Empire. The only one who has provided assistance to the Ruerson Kingdom, and is still the only one who really helps the Ruerson Kingdom, is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the Ruerson Kingdom had no choice but to agree to the agreement proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Now, nearly half a year has passed since the two sides fulfilled this agreement, and as the spring breeze gradually blows on this land, the whole country of the Ruerson Kingdom has begun to show its vitality as if spring is coming.
The people of the Ruerson Kingdom, who were trapped by natural disasters last year, have already been resettled because of the strong assistance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
It was a natural disaster like last year, where more than 500,000 people were affected. Any country on the continent of Sainz may cause large-scale turmoil, and even a small kingdom such as the Kingdom of Ruersun is very likely to cause the severe consequences of the decline of the country.
But this time, in the face of both the heavy natural disasters at home and the strict blockade of the Candela Empire outside, after the Ruerson Kingdom received the assistance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it was only a few more displaced people in the country, and there was little other turmoil.
And even these displaced people have quickly regained a stable life with the increase of investment in the Kingdom of Luxon by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and no longer pose any hidden dangers.
In less than half a year, the factories set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in various parts of the country of the Ruerson Kingdom have sprung up like spring training after the rain.
Wait until the beginning of spring, when the spring flowers are blooming. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has officially opened 23 factories in the Kingdom of Ruerson.
The 23 new factories opened by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone recruited more than 70,000 workers in the Ruerson Kingdom in one go. It is even close to the total number of workers in the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Duchy of Stantin.
Although the wages paid to the workers in these factories were far less than those in the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Stantin, they could at least exceed ten gold coins a month, which was enough for an ordinary family to live a comfortable life.
Therefore, just because of the twenty-three new factories opened by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it suddenly affected the lives of 300,000 people in the Ruerson Kingdom.
This is of course crucial for the current difficult situation of the Kingdom of Ruerson.
And because of the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Ruerson Kingdom was previously affected by the complete blockade of the Candela Empire, and even the magic industry that was directly closed by many chambers of commerce has also been revived and developed rapidly.
This affected only more people in the kingdom of Ruersun, and a rough estimate was more than half a million people.
In addition, the development of the magic industry inevitably led to the development of other industries in the Ruerson Kingdom.
So less than half a year has passed, and the situation in the country of the Ruerson Kingdom has taken on a new look, and everywhere is full of vitality, and it is no longer the gloomy and bleak appearance it had before.
Such a change is so remarkable that it can be clearly felt by everyone in the kingdom of Ruerson from top to bottom.
Of course, the ordinary people of the Ruerson Kingdom were grateful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in their hearts, and felt that it was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that saved them.
However, the high-ranking members of the Ruerson Kingdom, and even the most honorable King Trutz, had a much more complicated perception of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in their hearts.
If you think about it from the perspective of the life of the people of the kingdom, King Trutz is of course also very grateful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not help, it will not be long before the Ruerson Kingdom will be in turmoil due to the internal instability, and it is not surprising that something will happen at that time.
It is not at all surprising that the kingdom of Ruersun has ceased to exist since then.
However, from the perspective of a king, from the perspective of the entire Ruerson Kingdom, King Trutz is more worried and wary of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in his heart.
In the final analysis, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a Chamber of Commerce that does not belong to the Ruerson Kingdom after all, and it is not controlled and influenced by King Trutz at all.
Now that the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the Ruerson Kingdom has become so deep, this is definitely not a good thing for the entire Ruerson Kingdom.
What's more, in the aid agreement signed between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Ruersun, there are clear requirements for various mineral resources in the Kingdom of Luerson.
With the financial resources of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the strong influence on the Ruerson Kingdom now, it is not surprising that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will dig up all the mineral resources of the entire Ruerson Kingdom.
If the previous kings of Trutz, including the kings of all the countries on this continent, did not care so much about mineral resources, then with the emergence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, as the magic machinery has become more and more important, at least King Trutz is now very aware of the importance of mineral resources.
In the past few years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has purchased mineral resources everywhere, and the purpose and intention are extremely obvious.
However, King Trutz still had no choice.
Although the Ruerson Kingdom successfully repelled the two invasions of the Candela Empire, it was impossible to confront the Candela Empire, after all, the difference in national strength between the two countries was too great.
Now that the Candela Empire has a tight blockade on the Ruerson Kingdom, the Ruerson Kingdom has no way to break through this blockade.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the only hope of the Ruerson Kingdom, so if he puts forward any conditions, the Ruerson Kingdom can only be forced to agree.
Even every time he thought about it, King Trutz felt sincerely happy.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doesn't seem to be very interested in anything other than mineral resources, otherwise if they take advantage of this opportunity to put forward more excessive conditions to the Ruerson Kingdom, then the Ruerson Kingdom can only agree, and the threat to the Ruerson Kingdom will only be greater.
On the contrary, not only did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not take the opportunity to make more excessive demands to the Ruerson Kingdom, but when Xu Yi met with King Trutz, he actually told King Trutz completely unexpectedly that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would help the Ruerson Kingdom gradually establish a perfect magic industry system!
And Xu Yi didn't just talk, he signed an agreement with King Trutz on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at that time on the transfer of some of the technology related to the magic machinery of the farmland.
At the same time, Xu also said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will assist the Luerson Kingdom to build two farmland magic machinery factories, so that the Luerson Kingdom can have the ability to independently produce some farmland magic machinery.
This sudden happiness made King Trutz almost disbelieve his ears at that time.
Why is that?
What does the new flying chamber of commerce want to do?
What did Xu Yi want from the Kingdom of Luxon?
Countless questions popped up in King Trutz's mind, but this did not prevent him from signing this technology transfer agreement on behalf of the Kingdom of Ruerson and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After all, there is nothing wrong with this agreement itself, and it is only good for the Ruerson Kingdom, and there is no harm in it.
After the agreement was signed, the strong action of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was immediately reflected.
It only took half a month, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce handed over all the technical information involved in the agreement to the hands of the Ruerson Kingdom, and then as long as the Ruerson Kingdom made relevant preparations, the two farmland magic machinery factories could break ground and put into production.
Of course, what King Trutz didn't know was that as early as last month, three farmland magic machinery factories in the kingdom of Lampari had been completed and now officially put into production.
Also last month, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce set up a research and development center in the Lampari Kingdom and the Lampari Kingdom Magical Industry Management Association cooperated to create a Lampari Magical Industry Academy.
King Trutz knew best that the Kingdom of Ruerson had no way to resist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because the only thing in the entire Ruerson kingdom that was not completely blocked by the Candela Empire was this sea passage that led to the Endless Sea through the port of Guònisi, and then to the rest of the continent.
And the reason why this sea lane can remain open is entirely because the new flying chamber transport fleet is using this sea lane.
As for the fleet under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, it was obvious that the Candela Imperial Navy suffered a big loss, but the Candela Imperial Navy still deliberately ignored the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet rampaging on the endless sea without any obstruction, but King Trutz couldn't figure out the reason inside.
