"Govern the Sandy River?" Count Satsuma frowned, glanced in the direction of the Sandy River outside the window, and muttered, "Xu Yi, didn't you suspect that Smira Potter deliberately lied to you because he held a grudge against you?"

"He can lie to me, but the condition of the river can't fool me. Xu Yi shook his head. "I hadn't noticed it before, so I didn't notice it. But after being reminded by President Porter, I took a closer look, and then asked many of the former fishermen along the river about the situation, and they all said that the Sandy River had indeed changed significantly during this time. ”

"This change may not be ......" Count Satsuma suddenly took a breath, shook his head vigorously, and smiled at Xu Yi: "It's me who is wrong. Since I am the lord of Bonta City, this should be a question for me. You're right, since the Sandy River has already appeared in danger, then we should prepare in advance. ”

The Earl of Satsuma looked down for a moment, and summoned an officer to summon the officials in Bonta who were more familiar with the situation of river workers.

After the clerk left, Count Satsuma thought for a while, and then said to Xu Yi: "If what Smilla Potter said is true, and the Sandy River has reached the point where it must be managed, then we have a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Xu Yi asked.

Count Satsuma spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "This is an old problem, that is, there is no money. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes, with an expression that he had expected you to say this, he sighed and said, "Okay, I found this matter, so let's take care of it in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." But the lord of the castle. As it was said in advance, it should be the responsibility of the kingdom's officials to govern the Sandy River. I can assist with this and even help you out with the money. But one thing must be clear, that is, this money cannot be regarded as an investment by our Chamber of Commerce, so the City Lord's Mansion will either return us gold coins in the future or give us corresponding compensation. ”

Count Satsuma shook his head helplessly: "Although I know that you have a point, but can't you save a little face for me, the city lord?" Well, you are right, it is my duty to govern the Sandy River, and of course this money cannot be paid by you and the new flying company." As for whether to repay the money directly or give compensation after that, that will be said later. ”

Xu Yi nodded. And did not dwell on this issue with the Count of Satsuma.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may suffer a little financial loss in this matter, compared to being able to continue to gain the trust of Count Satsuma, this small loss can still be eaten.

What's more, Xu Yi's main purpose is not on this, compared with the huge benefits obtained in the end, this insignificant investment is simply negligible.

Once the problem of money is solved, then any problem is no longer a problem.

In a short time the officer in charge of the river was summoned, and the Earl of Satsuma inquired about the condition of the Sandy River, and received an affirmative answer that the Sandy River had indeed changed. He was instructed to immediately conduct a careful investigation of the Sandy River, and to make a detailed report on whether and how it needed to be treated.

As for Xu Yi's requirements, in addition to funds. also asked for the support of some magic construction machinery, and Xu Yi responded one by one.

In addition, in this regard, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce has experience in controlling the upper reaches of the Sandy River, and now the Amritri Chamber of Commerce is mainly responsible for the renovation of the banks of the Sandy River outside the city. Therefore, the Amrley Chamber of Commerce will naturally not stay out of the matter.

It's just that this requires Count Satsuma to go to President Cruise again to teach him face-to-face, and it has nothing to do with Xu.

After the conclusion of the initial discussions. Xu Yi left the City Lord's Mansion, and Steele immediately greeted him.

Xu also made an unexpected discovery. Sophia actually followed behind Steele, and looked at Steele with an adoring expression.

Not surprisingly, Kennard was right next to Sophia.

"What did the City Lord say?" Steele asked Xu Yi.

"The lord of the castle is very serious about this issue, and has already begun to gather people to prepare for it. Xu Yi replied. "As for me, the old rules, you should contribute money, you should contribute. ”

Steele smiled lightly, took Xu Yi's hand and said, "It's good that the city lord can pay attention to it." I think that since the diversion of the upper Sandy River can be successfully managed, there is no reason why it will not be possible to clean up the sediment here. ”

"It's not that difficult, but the problem is that it's just a symptom, not a cure. Xu Yi turned to look in the direction of the north of the west.

There is the direction of the upper reaches of the Falling Rain Finger Sen and Sandy Rivers.

When Yanis appeared in front of him last year, it was because of the accumulation of sediment in the upper reaches of the Sandy River in the Falling Rain Forest, which even led to the diversion of the Sandy River.

Now, after a year of governance, the upper reaches of the Sandy River in the Falling Rain Forest have been basically successfully managed, and stable and neat cement concrete embankments have been built on both sides of the riverbank, forcibly reversing the diverted Sandy River back to its original track, so that the drinking water problem of the Yege tribe has also been solved.

But again, this is a symptom, not a cure.

If we can't solve the problem of soil erosion in the upper reaches of the Sandy River, then no matter how much the downstream is treated, it will still be useless.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi shouted to the void next to him.

"Come out, Yanise, I have something to ask you. ”

Steele's expression was not surprised, and Kennard and Sophia on the side were a little surprised.

Who is Xu Yi shouting?

As soon as the question arose in his heart, the space around Xu Yi was strangely distorted, and Yanis's figure appeared from the void.

Both Kennard and Sophia were taken aback, and Sophia even screamed in fright.

The next moment, when the two of them saw Yanise's appearance clearly, the look of surprise on their faces was even better.

Sophia's eyes widened in disbelief, and she covered her mouth and shouted softly, "Elf! Oh my God!

As she shouted, she tugged at Kennard's clothes. "Brother, look! It's an elf! Do you see it?

Kennard's appearance was much calmer than Sophia's, he was just taken aback for a moment, and then regained his composure, and showed a kind smile to Yanis: "I have long heard that President Xu is always accompanied by a beautiful elven girl, but I have not seen it these days when I follow President Xu. I originally thought the rumors were false, but I was very disappointed, and I didn't expect to see it today. It was an eye-opener for me to meet the legendary and beautiful elves. Miss Annis, I'm Kennard Emma, and I'm here to say hello. ”

After following Xu Yi for a long time, although Yanis still doesn't like to appear in front of strangers often, she is not as resistant and uncomfortable as she used to be in contact with humans.

Seeing Kennard greeting herself, Yanise nodded slightly, "Hello Mr. Emma, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Sophia hurriedly jumped over, stretched out her hand to Yanis with an excited face, and said very enthusiastically: "Hello Sister Yanis, my name is Sophia? Emma is his sister. I'm so glad to meet you! I've always wanted to see you for myself when I heard about the legendary elves in books when I was very young. I can't believe that I actually saw it today! I almost fainted with excitement!"

Yanis looked at Xu Yi with a puzzled expression on her face.

Xu Yi shrugged and explained: "This is a way for this little girl to express her happiness, and it doesn't mean that she really wants to pass out." ”

Yanise nodded in understanding, looked back at Sophia, thought about it, but didn't stretch out her hand, just nodded to Sophia: "Hello Miss Emma, it's nice to meet you." ”

Steele couldn't help but leaned into Xu Yi's ear and whispered, "Hey, shouldn't you just teach her this greeting?"

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice, "This is already very good, okay?"

When teaching Yanis how humans get along, Xu Yi was especially troubled by not knowing how to make her understand that humans use different greetings in different situations.

Because although the mutual greetings between the elves are very beautiful and have profound meanings, the types are very monotonous, and even some are straightforward, unlike human beings, who can find countless patterns just for ordinary greetings.

Xu also tried his best, but he could only learn what Yanis's first greeting should be when facing strangers.

Sophia didn't care at all about Yanis's cold attitude, she still looked at Yanis with great interest, and asked a lot of questions in one breath.

Yanis glanced at her, did not answer a single question, but said very calmly: "If the president wants to ask me a question, I will answer him first." After a pause, as if remembering something again, he added. "I'll answer your question later, okay...... Is it?"

Sophia was stunned, looked at Xu Yi on the side, although she was a little unwilling, she could only obediently sigh and retreat.

"Yanis, do you know much about the situation in the upper reaches of the Sandy River?" Xu Yi asked.

Yanis thought for a moment and shook her head: "I know a little, but it shouldn't be much." ”

"Then you tell me, is the area around the upper reaches of the Sandy River now occupied by the orc tribe?" Xu Yi asked again.

"That's pretty much it. Annis nodded in reply. "I've been to the Black Rice Wasteland a few times, and there is very little water there, so wherever there is water, there will be orc tribes. ”

"So, the upper reaches of the Sandy River can be regarded as completely occupied by the orc tribe. Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly showed a smile to Yanis: "Yanis, it looks like you're going on a business trip with me again this time." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yi felt a murderous aura suddenly arise beside him.

When I turned my head to look, I saw that Steele's big eyes had narrowed slightly. (To be continued......)
