While Urgat and Anco Allen were fighting in the Casino of Opple, Xu Yi was already in the palace, attending a banquet specially organized by His Majesty the King to celebrate the harvest of the Lampari Kingdom.

As a great hero named by His Majesty the King, Xu Yi was not only pulled out by His Majesty the King alone at the beginning of the celebration banquet, praised him in front of everyone, but also awarded Xu Yi a special reward in public.

In order to reward Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for their sharing of this harvest, His Majesty the King specially rewarded Xu Yi with an upgrade to the rank of Honorary Lord, from a Lords of Honor to a Baron of the Kingdom.

The Honorary Lord, which can be said to be just an honorary title, cannot be regarded as a real nobleman, but becoming a baron of the kingdom means that Xu Yi has officially stepped into the circle of nobles and truly become a nobleman in the Lampari Kingdom.

Hearing this reward, everyone attending the banquet was surprised.

Because according to the relevant regulations of the Council of Nobles of the Kingdom, the nobles of the Kingdom are not allowed to directly participate in business, so even if the nobles of the Kingdom want to engage in commercial activities, they will go to an agent to come forward, and they will hide behind the scenes to command.

However, now His Majesty the King has directly made Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a baron of the kingdom, although the baron is only the lowest-level noble, it is equivalent to directly violating this rule.

What is even more strange is that the speaker of the noble council of the kingdom, Duke Lisserdo, was present, but did not express any objection to this at all.

As a result, Xu Yi, the baron of the kingdom, has now become the most special baron in the Lampari Kingdom.

This also let everyone know how much His Majesty the King values Xu Yi.

While Xu Yi was given a generous reward, the reward given to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was relatively inconspicuous. It's just that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was given the title of "Kingdom Honorary Chamber of Commerce".

This title can only be regarded as an honor and has no practical significance.

I really want to talk about it. Maybe it can only be regarded as improving the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But Xu Yi himself doesn't see it that way.

As a man who has crossed over from the earth, he knows all too well how high the level of recognition of officially recognized brands is among ordinary people.

If there is a company on the planet that can be approved by the government and directly recognized. The resulting advertising effect will go far beyond what the company advertises on TV and in various media.

Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has won the title of "Kingdom Honorary Chamber of Commerce", there may still be some unconvinced civilians on the earth who are suspicious of this, but on the Sainz continent, I believe that in the minds of all the ordinary people of the Lampari Kingdom, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will instantly become a first-class and trustworthy big chamber of commerce.

This is very beneficial for Xu Yi to promote the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the entire territory of the Lampari Kingdom.

Of course, this reward was originally proposed by Xu Yi privately when he negotiated with Severny.

Originally, His Majesty the King planned to give the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce some more practical and effective rewards, but Xu Yi refused all of them, proposing that only such a title should be awarded.

At Xu Yi's insistence, His Majesty the King naturally agreed to Xu Yi's request.

For this, His Majesty the King also expressed his gratitude to Xu Yi through Guò Sevigny. Because the kingdom's finances are not loose, if you really want to give the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce an actual reward, it can be regarded as increasing the burden on the kingdom's finances.

Now Xu Yi took the initiative not to do it, which is equivalent to doing His Majesty the king a favor again.

"Hey, the actual benefits...... I can't let His Majesty the King give me a few mines, right?" Xu Yi thought about Sevigny's slightly apologetic expression when he talked to him, smiled, his eyes swept over the banquet hall, and he quickly locked on his first target.

Although he was in the limelight just now because of the special knighthood of His Majesty the King, in the eyes of these big nobles in the banquet hall. Xu Yi is still just a small businessman who has just stepped into the aristocratic circle with one foot, so in fact he has not attracted special attention.

However, when some people noticed that he actually took the initiative to find the Marquis of Joseph, they still couldn't help but be surprised.

Marquis Joseph is the current patriarch of the Joseph family, and his status is many times higher than Xu Yi, a small businessman. He looked for it so rashly, isn't he afraid of being embarrassed?

However, to everyone's surprise, although the Marquis of Joseph was obviously surprised that Xu Yi actually took the initiative to find him. But after thinking about it for a while, he actually left the few big nobles who had talked to him before. Together with Xu Yi, they went to a remote corner of the hall and had a private conversation.

"Lord Marquis, thank you for giving me a chance to speak. Xu Yi raised his glass to thank the Marquis of Joseph.

The Marquis of Joseph was forty-seven years old. But because it is well maintained, it looks like he is only in his early forties, he still looks like he is in the prime of life, his figure does not show any fat, and his eyes are also full of energy, and he knows at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.

Hearing Xu Yi's words, Marquis Joseph nodded slightly: "Actually, I have long wanted to talk to you face to face with President Xu, and today is a good opportunity." ”

"Well, I know that the Marquis's time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush. Xu Yi smiled. "Lord Marquis, I have come to you mainly to discuss the matter of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce. ”

Marquis Joseph took a slight sip of the wine in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "You should talk to President Morgan about this matter, and I usually don't interfere in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in Bonta City." ”

"The problem is that what I want to talk to you about is not limited to Bonta City, but has to do with the business of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in the whole kingdom, and even the business of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in other countries. ”

Marquis Joseph raised his eyebrows: "Oh, President Xu, is your tone a little too big? Although your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is developing well, you are not qualified to discuss the business of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in the entire kingdom in front of me, right?"

Xu Yi smiled and said, "Lord Marquis, can I ask you a question first?"

Joseph nodded slightly: "You ask." ”

"As far as I know, apart from operating iron ore in the kingdom, is the Falcao Chamber of Commerce only involved in some copper mining business, and not involved in any other metal mining business?" Xu also asked.

"Other metal mines?" Marquis Joseph narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "President Xu, I heard that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seems to have discovered a non-ferrous metal vein in the Black Rice Wasteland, this is the other metal ore you are talking about?"

Xu Yi couldn't help but smile even brighter, judging from this question, although Marquis Joseph didn't seem to care about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on his appearance, he was actually very concerned, and actually knew his actions in the Black Rice Wasteland.

"Yes. I would like to come to you to discuss matters related to these non-ferrous metal veins. Xu Yi nodded.

"IMHO. Chairman Xu, I don't see what the non-ferrous metal minerals you are talking about can do. These things have been stored on the continent of Sainz for thousands of years, but no one has ever discovered their usefulness, so no one has ever mined them. I don't think you and you Xinfei will be able to find out what this is all about. ”

"Before iron was refined from ore by humans and made into various iron tools, the elven clan ruled this continent for so long, didn't they also discover the great effect of iron?" Xu Yi asked with a smile. "And now I know that these non-ferrous metal mines can have a very good effect, not inferior to iron at all, and I know how to use them. So Marquis Joseph, are you willing to let the Falcao Chamber of Commerce cooperate with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to jointly mine these non-ferrous metal mines?"

Marquis Joseph took another sip of wine, pondered for a moment, and said, "President Xu, you have now reminded me of the role of non-ferrous metal ores, so with the strength of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, you can completely mine these non-ferrous metal veins by yourself." If you want to use it in the future, you can buy it directly in the future. Since that's the case...... Why should I work with you?"

"Because in this world, only I understand the role that these non-ferrous metal minerals can play. Xu Yi said confidently.

Marquis Joseph was silent for a while, then shook his head: "President Xu, you think too highly of yourself. Before iron was discovered by humans, no one knew what it could do. But after research, humans have now fully discovered the power of iron. Then even without you, I can still find someone to study the role of these so-called non-ferrous metal minerals. ”

"You say...... Fully exploited the power of iron?" Xu Yi smiled with a slight hint of contempt. "I'm afraid it's not likely, if that's the case, how did we make those special alloy steels of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Marquis Joseph's face changed slightly, stared at Xu Yi for a while, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "President Xu, I heard that you are working with the military department to build an arsenal to produce armor and weapons with magic machinery?"

Naturally, it was impossible to hide this matter from a big nobleman like Marquis Joseph, so Xu Yi honestly nodded and admitted.

"Did you know that because of the establishment of this arsenal, our Joseph family lost a large order from the military department?" asked the Marquis of Joseph again.

Hearing Marquis Joseph's question, which contained a hint of dissatisfaction and warning, Xu Yi's heart was relieved, because he knew that since Marquis Joseph had taken the initiative to change the topic, it actually meant that he had already been a little moved by what he had just mentioned.

"Lord Marquis, since the military department has discovered that the Tongguò magic machine tool can produce armor and weapons in large quantities, it is inevitable to choose an arsenal in the city. In fact, using a blacksmith to create armor weapons is not only expensive, but also extremely inefficient, and I think even you have already discovered the drawbacks of this, right?"

"Of course I know that. Marquis Joseph snorted softly. "But this order was lost because of your new flying chamber, don't you plan to give me an explanation?"

Hearing this, Xu Yi was relieved.

"Lord Marquis, I took the initiative to come to you today, just to give you this ...... explanation" (to be continued......
