Chapter 141: The Golden Sea Road

Looking at the indignation on President Cruise's face, Xu Yi could only smile bitterly.

When Ambassador Hakanin obtained the approval to build the road, Xu Yi was very happy, feeling that he had finally knocked on the door of the Candela Empire, and from then on he would be able to make them realize the convenience brought by the road, and thus affect the Candela Empire in the same way that he had influenced the Lampari Kingdom.

However, he did not expect that when the Amrri Chamber of Commerce was laying roads in the southwestern province of the Kandela Empire, it had been subjected to all kinds of strange obstacles, the main problem of which was that the officials of the southwestern province of the Kandela Empire were extremely inefficient, and it took a long time to arbitrarily requisition a small piece of land, which caused a great delay in the construction period.

Moreover, those officials are extremely corrupt, and according to President Cruise, in the first six months alone, the Amrley Chamber of Commerce paid more than 300,000 gold coins for it, which is almost half of the estimated investment in this road.

Moreover, most of the actual investment in the construction of this highway comes from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the small half comes from the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, and the Candela Empire did not contribute even a single copper coin, but in the end it has to fully enjoy the various conveniences and benefits brought by this road, which is really an extremely loss-making business for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amrley Chamber of Commerce.

This has made President Cruise always dissatisfied with the Candela Empire, but this road is already half-built, and it is very symbolic, so no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only continue to work hard.

Xu Yi thought about it, and could only helplessly pat President Cruise on the shoulder and comforted: "After all, it's the first highway, let's bear with it first." Just fix this road. I don't believe that the Candela Empire will not find out all the benefits that this road has brought them. As long as they want to continue building roads in the future. I'm sure I'll have to find your Chamber of Commerce. When the time comes, you can get back as much as you have been wronged on this road. ”

President Cruise snorted, "I'm not as optimistic as you, in my opinion, this Candela Empire is simply dead from the bones to the skin, and even if they can realize the convenience brought by the road, we may not be able to reap any benefits from it in the end." ”

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth: "At that time, I'm afraid it will be up to them to choose." ”

President Cruise glanced at Xu Yi in surprise.

He smelled a very dangerous aura from Xu Yi's words, but where did this breath come from?

The Candela Empire is one of the two great empires on the continent of Sainz. Xu Yi can't eat the lionheart leopard gall, what else does he want to do to the Candela Empire?

Xu Yi waved his hand, stopped the topic, and stretched out his finger to dot on the bottom red line.

"Actually, compared to the line of communication that runs through the Candela Empire, I think this line of communication connecting the southernmost part of the entire continent is much more difficult. Cruise, do you feel sure?"

Cruise glanced at the thick red line that stretched out from the Duchy of Stantin, along the southern section of the continent of Sainz on the map, near the edge of the Endless Sea, all the way to the east, and finally to the east coast of the continent, and smiled bitterly.

"I said Xu Yi, I thought that the plan proposed by the guy from the United Kingdom of Business in Nozdorm was his whimsical idea at the beginning. I didn't expect you to take it seriously. Have you forgotten what I said last time? Theoretically, it is entirely possible to build such a highway through the east and west of the mainland. But the biggest problem is that the amount of money that needs to be invested is too large. Didn't I calculate with you last time, if you want to build this highway successfully, the total investment will even exceed 50 million gold coins. What a lot of money...... Even if we sell both of our chambers of commerce, we won't be able to take it out. ”

"So as I said last time, I don't expect to be able to complete this project in a year or two. Xu Yi shrugged. "And the three lines of communication through the mainland that I am planning now will not be completed in a short time, if I have to divide them into one order, I hope to be able to establish this line of communication first. ”

Seeing Xu Yi's finger on the top red line, President Cruise breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like you're not really crazy yet. Yes, in comparison, this line of traffic is currently the most promising to be completed. Whether it is the Duchy of Stantin, the Kingdom of Lampari or the Duchy of Draco, there is already a ready-made road network, we just need to pave the road in the Kingdom of Falk. As for the Maro Empire...... It's up to you to work with the Maro Empire. ”

Facing President Cruise's questioning gaze, Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "I have confidence in the Marquis of Southgate, if nothing else, there should be a message from him soon." ”

"I hope so. ”

After a few more discussions about the three planned highway routes, President Cruise took his leave.

After Xu Yi sent him away, he returned to the map, looked at it intently for a long time, and then took out a pen and pointed it on the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but it extended to the west, drawing a blue line into the Endless Sea, and then all the way south, bypassing the Duchy of Statein, the Kingdom of Ruersun and the southern seas of the Candela Empire, and finally connecting to the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm on the east coast.

The Port of the United Kingdom of Nozdorm has been in operation for more than five months, during which time the New Flyers' transport fleet has been able to make one round trip per month, and has completed five successful cargo shipments to date, officially establishing a sea transport route connecting the southwest and southeast coasts of the Sainz continent.

It is too difficult to build the transcontinental coastal highway in the south of the Sainz continent, which Chairman Cruise said is almost impossible to complete, so at present, the only reliable transportation route that can connect the east and west shores of the continent is this sea passage.

Through these five transports, the new flying chamber of commerce has delivered a large number of personnel and materials to the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, and has now successfully started to set up the cement processing plant and steel mill required in the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom.

According to the plan, these factories will be completed and put into production at the beginning of next year, and when the time comes, with the manpower and materials invested by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a preliminary production base can be built in the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, and strive to promote the magic machinery in the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom.

And before this production base was created. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not idle. The transport fleet of the TongguΓ² transport fleet delivered a large number of much-needed works and farm magic machinery to the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm. There are also a variety of popular household magic machines.

Correspondingly, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce obtained a large number of local herbs and animal skins from the United Kingdom of Commerce of Nozdorm, as well as some special goods, and shipped them back to the Duchy of Statein, and then resold them to surrounding countries to make a lot of money.

In just five transports, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has gained a huge amount of more than two million gold coins.

Therefore, among the senior management of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this sea transport road has been praised as the "golden sea route".

His eyes swept over the map, and Xu Yi pointed his pen on the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Draw a line again and head west into the Endless Sea.

This time, he turned the line north, all the way through the Black Rice Wasteland and the western seas of the Sark Kingdom, and then bypassed the Arras Kingdom in the northeast corner of the continent and entered the northern seas of the entire continent.

However, when the line was drawn here, Xu Yi paused, then stopped, frowning slightly.

Although Xu Yi has never been to the northernmost country of the Sainz continent, according to the records in various books, the northernmost part of the continent is extremely cold after entering the winter. Even the endless sea is covered by a thick layer of ice that is completely invisible, making it impossible to sail at sea.

Therefore, this route is bound to be as unimpeded as the southern route all year round.

After thinking for a moment. Xu Yi's hand moved slightly, drew a dotted line and continued to extend all the way eastward in the northern waters of the mainland, and finally landed at a position in the northernmost middle of the continent to stop.

This is the northern coast of the Maro Empire, and if the route can be extended here, a sea transportation route connecting the Maro Empire can be established, which will undoubtedly make it easier to improve the connection between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Maro Empire.

After sweeping his gaze on the vast territory of the Maro Empire on the map, Xu Yi turned his gaze to the northeast corner of the continent, and then drew a dotted line extending eastward from the northern coast of the Maro Empire, all the way to the northeast corner of the entire continent, and then continued to poke down to the south, and finally entered the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm in the southeast corner, which was connected with the sea route to the south.

In this way, it is equivalent to completely enclosing the entire continent with a blue sea route.

Theoretically, the new flyers would be able to transport their goods to any coastal country on the continent by sea alone.

Of course, in fact, most countries on the Sainz continent are not coastal at all, and if they want to promote the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to every inch of land on this continent, it is far from enough to rely on sea transportation alone.

And this is the main reason why Xu also wants to lay three road transportation lines that run through the entire road.

However, the construction of these three roads is too difficult, and in addition to the most critical financial problems, the biggest obstacle lies in the attitude of other countries to this matter.

Xu was confident that the northernmost line of communication could be approved by the Falk Kingdom, but the Malo Empire's attitude towards this matter was not entirely certain.

And the middle line of communication through the Candela Empire, with the current appearance of the Candela Empire, the prospects are really not optimistic.

"Is this vast empire, as Cruise said, completely decayed?"

Xu Yi frowned and looked at the Candela Empire, which had a much wider territory than the Maro Empire on the map, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, waking Xu Yi up.

When he looked around, he saw that Teresa's little head had poked in through the door, with a cautious expression on her face.

Seeing Xu Yi's gaze just shoot over, Teresa shrank back like a frightened rabbit, and after a while, she hesitated to reappear.

Xu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at her, and smiled slightly: "Come in." (To be continued......)
