At first, the lord of Weilun transferred the more than 240,000 hectares of territory to Xu Yi, and when it became Xu Yi's private territory, he only transferred the land, but did not transfer the population of the territory together.

In this way, after Xu also obtained this territory, there were only about 17,000 employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who moved over with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Although compared to the average population density on the continent of Sainz, this land of less than 15 square kilometers has a population of more than 17,000 people, which is quite good.

But because most of the factories in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are intensive industries, a factory that covers an area of no more than 1,000 square meters can accommodate hundreds of workers.

Combined, all the factories and living quarters cover no more than 50,000 hectares.

As a result, the rest of Xu Yi's territory was extremely empty and slightly underpopulated.

And the more important problem is that because of the lack of a large number of population supplements, it is extremely difficult for the new flying chamber to expand production and increase production capacity.

Although the people of the Lampari Kingdom have been coming to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce one after another, in the past year or so, the total number of people who have actually come here is less than 2,000, which is a drop in the bucket for the large number of manpower needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi's previous headache of production capacity problems is actually mainly due to the population problem.

If human resources are not satisfied, no matter how abundant the funds are now, the new flying chamber of commerce will not be able to quickly increase production capacity.

The reason why the new flying chamber cooperated with the Kingdom of Ruerson and invested heavily in the Principality of Milan was to be able to establish more production bases. Increase overall productivity.

However, the Kingdom of Luxon and the Duchy of Mirandor are not under the control of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after all. Although now the cooperation between the new flying chamber and them is extremely close. But no one can guarantee that there will be no changes in the two countries in the future.

In order to solve the manpower problem, Xu Yi recruited a large number of local civilians of the Duchy of Stantin into his territory to assist in production.

But according to the traditional rules on the Sainz continent, since these civilians are the children of the Lord of Weilun's territory, then they belong to the Lord of Weilun.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce hired these people of the Lord of Weilun, not only to pay a lot of money to the Lord of Weilun, but also to have no management rights over these people.

As a result, Xu Xu is not willing to train these people in skills and later training, and has always only let them do the simplest work. And let them be involved in skilled trades.

However, in this way, the employment of these workers will provide much less help to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi once asked Lord Weilun to move a group of civilians directly from his territory to join his territory, but Lord Weilun flatly refused.

The population on the Sainz continent was already very tight, and for all the noble lords, people were the most important resources in the territory, so Lord Weilun naturally would not agree to Xu Yi's request.

However, according to the conventions on the continent of Sainz, if the people in the land of the noble lord want to move away, then they only need to pay a certain price to leave the jurisdiction of the noble lord.

"Grow up. Are you really going to pay for their relocation?" Sebas frowned as he glanced at the people who were wandering around the newly launched magic air conditioner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not far away.

"Of course. Xu Yi nodded.

It was different from the disdainful gaze that Sebas looked at those people. Xu Yi looked very interested, as if there was some treasure hidden in these ragged people, almost no different from beggars.

"Elder, the Duchy of Stanting is much stricter in this regard than our Lampari Kingdom, and the Grand Duke of Stanting also has a clear rule on this, if we really want to do this, the relocation fee for just one person will be at least one hundred gold coins. And they came from the territory of Lord Velon, Lord Velun will definitely be more demanding. Sebas added.

"What if he asks for two hundred gold coins?" Xu Yi turned his head and said to Sebas, "If Lord Weilun is willing to give me all the current hundred thousand people in his territory, I will be willing to spend all my money to buy them." The problem is that Lord Weilun definitely won't do it, so we can still buy a few of them. ”

Sebas suddenly smiled bitterly: "But Lord Elder, the total amount of funds that our Chamber of Commerce can move now is less than two million gold coins, how can it be possible to buy so many people?"

"So, how much can you buy. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "What's more, at a time like this, even if we give Lord Weilun real gold coins, I'm afraid he doesn't want it yet. ”

"The elder is right. Kennard, who had finished communicating with those people for a short time, walked over at this time, took what Xu Yi said, and said, "Compared to gold coins, what Lord Weilun needs most now is probably the various military magic machines provided by our Chamber of Commerce. I think that when the elders negotiate with him in the future, he will make a request for this. ”

Sebas's brow furrowed a little closer.

Although he is the financial director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, mainly responsible for the financial aspect, and basically does not interfere in specific production, he is also very familiar with the current production situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and of course he knows very well what kind of situation the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is facing now.

"But if we agree to Lord Weilun's conditions, we will have problems with other supplies, right?"

"So, in order to completely solve this situation of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, we must find a way to solve the bottleneck of the chamber of commerce's production capacity. And to solve this problem, human resources are the most important factor. This is a great opportunity that we must not miss. Xu Yi said with a stern face: "In terms of finance, Sebas, you have to make specific statistics and relevant preparations, if Lord Weilun really needs gold coins, you must be able to meet the demand." As for the specific production arrangement, Kennard, I'll leave it to you. ”

"Understood. Kennard nodded. "If it really doesn't work, we can actually coordinate with those chambers of commerce in the Black Rice Wasteland and ask them to help process some of the parts. ”

After all that's said. Kennard looked at Xu Yi with an inquiring gaze.

Before, when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was making all kinds of military magic machinery. From the preliminary research and development to the specific parts processing, equipment assembly, etc., all of them are handled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Never let any other chamber of commerce and unrelated people interfere.

Now Kennard put forward this idea, which is to Xu Yijian yì to include other chambers of commerce in the ranks of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is a military production.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Yes." However, it is necessary to choose carefully and give preference to those small chambers of commerce that have long-term cooperation with our chamber of commerce. ”

"I'll think about it. Kennard replied.

"Alright, that's it. ”

Xu Yi turned his head to look at Sebas, who thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I will grow up." I will prepare sufficient liquidity to prepare for this. But Lord Grown, the second phase of the Silu Highway project is about to start, and we must prepare a minimum of 500,000 gold coins for the initial investment. If this is also counted, then our chamber of commerce may not have any liquidity left. If there is any need for it, I am afraid that it will be difficult, and it may not even be enough to pay the wages of the workers. ”

"Don't worry about that. Xu Yi waved his hand. "I have already contacted Newman, and the Ruerson Kingdom will order a large number of household magic machines from us in the next three months, and we can make enough profit from them to guarantee the basic liquidity of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"But it's still a bit dangerous...... "Sebas muttered, shaking his head.

As the treasurer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Sebas has always felt very relaxed before.

Because the sales of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's products have been very high. Profit margins are high, so the financial situation has been extremely good. There has never been any problem.

But in the past year or so, the financial situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become a little tight.

This is not to say that there is any crisis in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has maintained high sales and high profits except for the decline in product sales and profits when it first left the Lampari Kingdom.

But in the past year or so, the new flying chamber of commerce has spent too much money.

Especially after acquiring this territory from the lord of Weilun, Xu Yi finally obtained a piece of land that could be completely at his disposal, so he began to invest heavily in the construction of this land.

In this territory, which is less than 25 square kilometers, there are 13 roads that crisscross and crisscross almost every part of the territory.

After obtaining the territory, Xu also re-planned and built the workers' living quarters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the territory.

Now walking in the living area, you can see a piece of neat and beautiful housing, which looks extremely spectacular.

At the same time, Xu also has a large number of daily necessities from many other chambers of commerce, making life here extremely convenient and comfortable.

In addition, Xu Yi also invited the elves of the Night Song Clan and the Moon Shadow Clan to re-green the territory, turning the entire territory into a vibrant and beautiful place.

Almost everyone who comes to this territory will be shocked by the fact that it is completely different from other places.

Even Her Royal Highness the Queen of Severny and her personal guards, after living here for more than four months, were extremely satisfied with the place, and even a little lingered.

However, it is extremely expensive to create such a living environment.

Since Xu Yi obtained this territory, up to now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has invested a total of 4.68 million gold coins in this territory.

It can be said that most of the profits obtained by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are actually invested in the transformation of this territory.

And that's not all.

According to Xu Yi's plan, there are still many areas in this territory that need to be improved.

For example, Xu Yi's latest plan is to arrange a complete automatic water supply system for the entire territory.

To complete the system, not only did at least 300 new magic pumps need to be developed, but also a large number of water supply pipes need to be laid.

Even though the most important water purification device is the green clean plant filtration solution provided by the Yesong tribe, which is very low, the overall cost of this automatic water supply system is still very staggering.

According to the budget statistics made by Sebas, if you want to build this automatic water supply system according to Xu Yi's idea, the minimum investment will exceed 800,000 gold coins.

It is precisely because it will cost a lot of money in the next step that Sebas will object to Xu Yi's "buying" of Lord Weilun this time.

"Don't worry. Xu also understands Sebas's concerns, but as the president, he certainly thinks more about things than Bas. "This is also for the Chamber of Commerce to be able to obtain higher profits in the future, and you, the treasurer, will be more confident in the future. As long as you persevere, you will soon see the light of day. And...... I'm tossing so many things, after all, just to make other people's lives better, isn't it?"

"Well, the Elder is right. Kennard also smiled, "Sebas, do you know what they said when I asked them why they wanted to move to our territory?"

Sebas and Xu Yi looked at Kennard with interest.

"They told me that they wanted to move here because it would be more comfortable to live on our territory. But what makes me a little amused is that what they value most is the automatic water supply system that you were worried about. They say that being able to drink clean water with a hint of sweetness without leaving the house is simply a good life that even the gods can't live. ”

Xu Yi laughed when he heard this, but Sebas was silent, turned his head to look at the people for a while, and nodded slightly. (To be continued......)
