Billier's letter and the accompanying progress report were delivered to Xu Yi three days later.

Seeing that the letter mentioned that some people in the Candela Empire were interested in the Freight Magic Locomotive, Xu Yi was not too surprised.

In fact, compared with the magic car, Xu Yi has always felt that all kinds of freight and passenger magic locomotives are more practical.

In a practical sense, it is obvious that all kinds of passenger and freight magic locomotives should be more popular.

This is also evident in sales in the Kingdom of Lampari and in the neighbouring countries.

Since the beginning of the sale of various types of magic locomotives, the total sales of magic cars have been less than 50,000, and the cumulative sales of various types of freight passenger and freight magic locomotives have exceeded 500,000, which is more than ten times the sales of magic cars.

Now in the surrounding countries, all kinds of magic locomotives have already completely replaced the traditional carriages, in addition to some nostalgic people in use, other kings and nobles, down to the common people, whether it is travel or carrying goods, will choose all kinds of magic locomotives.

After all, compared to traditional horse-drawn carriages, the magic locomotive far exceeds in terms of carrying capacity, speed, and comfort, which is most important to horse-drawn carriages.

Nowadays, even those who are not in a position to buy a magic car will choose to choose a new passenger magic car that is replaced by various types of cars and horses when traveling, or simply take a rental magic car that is popular from the kingdom of Lampari, instead of asking for trouble and choosing to ride in a horse-drawn car.

Of course, this is also thanks to the erection of the road transportation network in the surrounding countries, which creates good traffic conditions for the operation of the magic locomotive.

The reason why Xu Yi was the first to launch the magic car in the Candela Empire. It's just that I hope to impress those in the upper echelons of the Candela Empire with the conditions through the guò magic car. Get them interested in the magic car. Thus generating an interest in road paving.

After the Candela Empire also began to build a paved road transportation network, it would become logical to promote all kinds of passenger and freight magic locomotives.

But now that some people have noticed the convenience brought by the freight magic locomotive and have become interested in the freight magic locomotive, Xu Yi will naturally not refuse.

The reason why the Bilier Chamber of Commerce is called "Bilier Magic Locomotive Firm" instead of "Bilier Magic Car Firm" was Xu Yi's idea.

In his reply to Billier, Xu made it clear. If anyone wants to buy a freight or passenger magic locomotive, Billier can say yes.

In addition, Xu also assured Bilier that he would leave the business related to magic locomotives in the Candela Empire to Bilrel, so as to give Bilier peace of mind.

As for the progress report that Bilier sent with the letter, it was a report on Xu Yi asking him to organize the Magic Car Race in the Candela Empire.

It should be said that Billier moves quickly.

In less than half a year since he went to the Candela Empire, he has already made a name for himself in the aristocratic circles of Wimbledon, and has successfully organized some young nobles who love magic cars and drag racing cars, and began to hold private racing competitions.

As described by Billier. This racing race was very popular in the circle of young aristocrats in Wimbledon, and it was deliberately arranged by him. We have formed a rhythm that will be held once a week.

Next, Bilier will gradually formalize this event according to the plan, and then rely on the relationship of Prince Frank to make this event simply open and transparent, and make it a high-profile formal event.

Therefore, Bilier needs Xu Yi to give him some support, for example, they lack a formal track and lack a certain amount of experienced management talent......

These requirements have long been prepared for Bilyl, so naturally they will not be a problem.

According to Billier's progress report, if it is not smooth, it is possible that the first full-fledged motor race will be held in Wimbledon by the end of this year.

This is very good news for Xu Yi, because it means that the magic car will get public attention in Wimbledon, and it means that the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have officially entered the market of the Candela Empire for the first time.

In addition to this, there was also good news that Ambassador Hakanin did not know what the relationship between Tong Guò was, and finally got the official consent of the Candela Empire to build a road privately in the southwestern province of the Candela Empire.

The road will start at the border between the Duchy of Norton and the Candela Empire and run through the entire Southwestern Province.

Although the end point is not directly connected to Wimbledon as Xu Yi expected, it is already more than 700 kilometers long, and it can become the main traffic artery of the southwestern province of the Candela Empire.

The total cost of the road was about 1.5 million gold coins, and it was nominally paved by Ambassador Hakanin and the Governor's Office of the Southwest Province of the Candela Empire, of which Ambassador Hakanin contributed 1 million gold coins and the Governor's Office of the Southwest Province of the Candela Empire contributed 500,000 gold coins.

But in fact, the million gold coins contributed by Ambassador Hakanin were each borne by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, and Ambassador Hakanin only occupied one name.

The 500,000 gold coins that the Governor's Mansion of the Southwest Province of the Candela Empire nominally needed to pay were also offset by various preferential policies for this road, and in fact, not a single gold coin was needed at all.

For example, after the road is laid, the Governor's Office of the Southwest Province will give support to the construction team of the Amrli Chamber of Commerce, assist the Amrley Chamber of Commerce in expropriating the land along the highway, and adjust the relocation of people along the highway......

However, when it comes to implementation, many things are just a matter of the Governor's Office of the Southwest Province, and at most only one or two people will be sent to assist, and the real work will be done by the Amrley Chamber of Commerce.

And for the sake of these manpower to work hard, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce has to serve well in private, and has paid a lot of invisible capital investment for this.

Faced with this situation, President Cruise was naturally full of complaints.

"Damn, this must be the most humiliating road I've ever built. President Cruise cursed unceremoniously. "On our side, the nobles and officials begged me to build roads. Desperately trying to say good things about us. But he went to the Candela Empire to build this road. But in turn, we need to beg them desperately and say good things to them. Damn, this is building roads for them and creating convenience for them! As a result, they have to make all kinds of difficulties, are these guys idiots?"

Looking at President Cruise's angry appearance, Xu Yi smiled, waved his hand, and said with relief: "Okay." After all, this is the first road in the Candela Empire, and we will succeed if we can build it. You have to have faith in the roads you build. Think about it, once this road is built, how can those guys in the Candela Empire not want to build more when they see that the road is so easy to use? When the time comes for them to beg you to help them build the road, you don't need to be so aggrieved. ”

President Cruise snorted heavily, "Wait until then, see if I don't make them pay a little bit!"

Xu Yi smiled, not reacting to President Cruise's idea.

Not only was the Amrri Chamber of Commerce aggrieved when dealing with the Candela Empire, but their Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was often wronged by the arrogance of this huge empire when they came into contact with the Candela Empire.

If he can make the Candela Empire pay some more price, Xu Yi will not be polite in the slightest.

"There's no need to worry about the Candela Empire for the time being. We're in a hurry. Xu Yi paused. "Now the slaves are in place on the islands, but there are only some of the simplest houses on those islands. There's no talk of resettlement at all, so I hope you'll be able to send enough people to build resettlement houses on those islands now. ”

President Cruise frowned, "Xu Yi, you also know how troublesome it is to build a house on those islands, right? Anyway, why do you have to send all those slaves to the island? If you really get the slaves back to the Duchy of Stantin, as everyone else fears, you have to restore them to civilian status, and then if you can't control them, then you can throw them on the Black Rice Wasteland the same. Anyway, the Black Rice Wasteland still nominally belongs to the Kingdom of Lampari, but there is no Guò Slave Abolition Act. ”

"No, I'm not worried about that. Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "And in fact, after I accepted those slaves, I had already abolished their slave status, and they are actually ordinary civilians now. ”

"Huh?" President Cruise paused. "Wouldn't you? You're really restoring them to civilians? You...... You can't be so stupid, can you?"

"Silly?" Xu Yi shrugged. "I don't think so. As I have already said, the status of slaves is a major obstacle to the liberation of their productive forces, and only by solving this identity problem can I give full play to the value contained in them. ”

"But if they're reinstated as civilians, why should they be left to your arrangement?" asked President Crews, frowning.

"Quite simply, interests. Xu Yi replied with a smile. "You may not know about these slaves. In fact, even if they are reinstated as civilians, because they were slaves before, even if they continue to stay here, they will still be discriminated against and will not be accepted by the majority of people. So, even after being reinstated as civilians, almost all of them complied with my arrangement and settled on the island I had arranged for them. In addition, although they are no longer slaves, they all voluntarily recognize me as their lord, and I have jurisdiction over them. ”

President Cruise frowned and looked at Xu Yi for a long time, and slowly shook his head.

"Xu Yi, to be honest, sometimes I really think you are a particularly hypocritical guy. ”

"Oh?

"You need these slaves to listen to you completely, but you want to occupy a noble name. I said, why are you doing this, even if you do use them as slaves, no one will accuse you of anything. Anyway, the history of slaves on this continent has existed for tens of thousands of years, and it is strange to do something like yours. ”

Xu Yi was silent for a moment and sighed lightly: "Maybe you're right, I'm just a hypocrite." The reason why I have to go through so much trouble is actually just for my own peace of mind. Anything that wants to liberate the productive forces of these slaves is just making excuses. ”

President Crews' brow furrowed even tighter, "That's why I don't understand." Why do you think this way? What is it about using slaves that makes you feel uneasy? ”

Xu Yi shook his head, thinking that this was entirely because he came from an earth where civilization was far superior to this world, and he had received an equal education for all since he was a child, and he had seen countless criticisms of slavery in books since he was a child, so he hated this thing.

But this involves his biggest secret, and how can he explain it to President Crews? (To be continued......)
