Of course, Xu Yi didn't have a choice.

If you refuse Count Satsuma's request, then you may lose the support of Count Satsuma from now on.

And even if the support of the Count of Satsuma was not important, the support of those who prompted him to make these demands to Xu Yi was absolutely important.

If Count Satsuma can say that this is related to the interests of the entire Lampari Kingdom, then it proves that this request actually represents the will of Count Satsuma alone, so that Xu Yi can't refuse at all.

However, agreeing to Count Satsuma's request means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is afraid that it will enter the military industry that Xu Yi has always resisted.

Although with the gradual development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the gradual acceptance of magic machinery, Xu Yi had already expected such a day, and he was mentally prepared.

But in any case, he didn't expect this day to come so early.

The various civilian magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have not yet been fully popularized in the Lampari Kingdom, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is already about to set foot in the military industry.

Thinking that most of the earth's high-tech technologies were first applied in the military, and then gradually turned to civilian use, Xu Yi suddenly felt that this might be the fate of the machinery industry.

This is true on Earth, and it is no different on the continent of Sainz.

So after Xu Yi agreed to the Count of Satsuma, it didn't take long for him to adjust his somewhat resistant mentality and began to actively raise money.

It's just that when he saw Sevini suddenly appear in front of him, and kept talking to himself about the armor and weapons used by various armies, Xu Yi was still a little uncomfortable, or uncomfortable.

"Her Royal Highness. I always thought that your main concern was the people's livelihood, and I didn't expect you to interfere in even the affairs of the army. It really made me ...... I think it's a bit of a contrast. Xu Yi looked at Sevigny's warm and attractive side face and said.

"Why?" Sevini looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

"Because I always feel ...... It is appropriate for a gentle and beautiful girl like you to care about the lives of the people. But it's a little strange to associate it with these cold weapons and armor. Xu Yi said honestly.

"Do you think I'm pretty?" Seeing Xu Yi nodding, Sevini smiled slightly, and continued, "Thank you for the compliment." It is true that I prefer to pay attention to the little things in people's lives rather than cold weapons and brutal military wars, but it can't be helped, since I am the royal highness you call the princess, then it is impossible to completely leave these things behind. ”

"Do you want to inherit the throne?" Xu Yi couldn't help but ask.

After asking. Xu Yi immediately realized that he was really a little reckless in asking a question.

This kind of question, how can it be his turn to ask?

Fortunately, Sevini just glanced at Xu Yi in surprise, and did not look angry, then tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied to Xu Yi: "If you say it in your heart, I don't want to." Of course, no one will believe this statement. ”

"I believe it. Xu Yi hurriedly said. "Because I don't think you're really fit to be a queen. ”

"Is it because I'm not worthy?" asked Sevigny.

"No, it's not unworthy. It just doesn't fit. Xu Yi said sincerely. "Although I haven't had much contact with you, I think you're actually a very peaceful and kind girl, and this kind of personality is not suitable for being a queen. Let's be honest. I actually don't quite understand why Her Royal Highness, who was born in the royal family, has such a character. ”

"It's just your delusion. Sevigny shook his head. "As a princess, how can I be the character you are talking about? Or back to business. ”

Sevini clapped his hands and pulled out a drawing. Spread out on the table in front of the two of them.

"See? This is the standard armor currently used by the Praetorian Guard, with various size markings on it. You should be able to see it. ”

Xu Yi looked at the drawings and nodded: "You can understand it, but I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on the drawings alone, it's better to give me a real armor." ”

"That's fine, I'll have someone send me a few pieces of armor of different sizes. Severny nodded, looked at Xu Yi, who was lying on the drawing and carefully observed, and asked, "How is it?

After Xu Yi looked at it again, he straightened up and showed a confident smile to Sevigny: "Your Royal Highness, have you forgotten how I answered last time you asked me this question?"

Sevini was slightly stunned, and then remembered that she had indeed asked Xu Yi this question before Xu Yi wanted to develop a magic forging machine last time.

And at that time, Xu Yi's answer was - of course there is!

"That's good. Sevigny's smile wasn't as sunny as Steele's, but it was as warm and peaceful as the winter sun. "I hope that this time, President Xu, you will still be able to do what you say. In addition, I can tell you in advance that if you cooperate with our kingdom's military this time, then your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very likely to become an important partner of the kingdom's military in the future, and will receive strong support from the royal family and the military. ”

"What about the specific benefits?" Xu also asked.

"Not yet. But at the very least, you new flying chambers will not be swept away by Baron Bilier like this time. There was a hint of banter in Sevigny's smile.

Xu Yi couldn't help but snort: "Your Royal Highness, this is your fault." It's not convenient for you and His Majesty the King to come forward, but our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is an important partner of the Agricultural Department, but this time the Agricultural Department did not come forward for us, which really disappointed me. ”

"The Department of Agriculture can't help it. Severny said helplessly. "The Stark family is the nobleman with the most territories in the kingdom, and nearly half of the grain handed over by the Agriculture Department every year comes from the Stark family, do you think it is possible for the Agriculture Department to question the Stark family because of you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi frowned: "That's not right." Although the Stark family is the nobleman with the most territories in the kingdom, it can't compare to the royal family, right? Why does the Stark family actually hand over nearly half of the grain?"

"That's because the land owned by the royal family is actually the same as the land owned by the kingdom, which is not the same thing as the private domain of the nobles. The Stark family can rely on centralized labor to cultivate large areas of farmland, increase production, and turn over large quantities of grain at the same time, but the royal family cannot. Because first of all, we can't find so many and enough people to cultivate the farmland. ”

After Sevini finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yi meaningfully. "Now you know why my father attaches so much importance to the farmland magic machinery of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Xu Yi was suddenly surprised, and after glancing at Sevigny, he was aggrieved again.

"Your Royal Highness, since our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so important, then you and His Majesty the King should stand up for us this time. Otherwise, it would be too chilling for me. ”

Sevigny showed a helpless wry smile: "No way, my father also has his difficulties." And I'm ...... There's really nothing that can be done about it at the moment. Also within our royal family...... In fact, there are some different voices. ”

Xu Yi looked at Sevigny, who had a trace of exhaustion in his expression, and couldn't help but shake his head: "So I said, the throne is really not something ordinary people can do." Well, Your Highness the Princess, I'm just complaining casually, you don't have to take it to heart. Regarding the research and development of this magic machine tool, I agreed on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Give us some time, and it should be possible to develop it along the way. ”

"Well, then I thank you on behalf of my father. Severny said that he gave Xu Yi a standard court lady salute, which startled Xu Yi.

This is the first time she has saluted Xu Yi so solemnly, which shows the importance she attaches to this research and development task in her mind.

After sending Severny away, Xu Yi glanced at the drawings on the table, rolled them up, thought about it, gave up the idea of stuffing it into the office desk, and put it in his arms.

Although this is a new office in Sanqiton Manor, it is impossible for anyone else to break in without Xu Yi's consent, but this time the research and development task needs to be kept strictly confidential, and there is no need to do it, Xu Yi does not want to reveal it lightly.

After doing some calculations in the office, Xu Yi opened the door and walked out, took a breath of fresh air outside, and felt that his drowsy head suddenly cleared up a lot.

If it weren't for the incessant roar of the machine in the manor, this manor left behind by Viscount Sanchiton would really be a good place for self-cultivation.

Glancing at the two huge simple factories on the left and right, Xu Yi smiled, thinking that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could be regarded as a new start.

After a busy week, the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were finally relocated from the Stark family's territory.

Of course, the only thing that can be removed is the machinery and equipment inside the factory, and there is definitely no way to move the factory.

For the four large and small factories left in the territory, Baron Bilier even shamelessly demanded compensation from Xu Yi.

Because he felt that these delivery rooms were all left because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had not been demolished, and it would definitely not work for him to spend time and money to demolish them, so he asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to compensate him for the cost of demolition.

Of course, Xu Yi resolutely disagreed with such a shameless and unreasonable request.

Baron Bilier still wanted to entangle, and even threatened Xu Yi, but was directly reprimanded by Baron Satsuma, who couldn't bear it after receiving the news, and was forced to give up.

Thinking of Baron Satsuma's unclear statement when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was driven out of the territory by Baron Billier before, to the current clear support, and even did not hesitate to reprimand Baron Billier in person, Xu Yi knew that this must be because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce finally set foot in the military industry.

And this is actually the main reason why Xu Yi finally decided to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce involve in the military industry.

If you want to build a true magical industrial empire on this continent, the military industry is a link that cannot be bypassed.

Just as he was thinking about how to start, Xu Yi's heart suddenly moved, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he whispered to the air around him: "Yanis, come out." (To be continued......)
