Chapter 123: Is It Really For the Whole Principality?
Count Marfa is not alone in the chaos.
There are a total of thirteen noble lords who refused to set up a magic signal tower by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, and then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce once again refused when they proposed to mention yì again, and like Count Marfa, they were also announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to completely sever cooperation.
And the impact on them is exactly the same as that of Count Marfa, except that Cheng Dù is light and heavy.
But no matter whether the impact was light or heavy, these noble lords, like Count Marfa, knew very well in their hearts that they had no possibility of confronting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all.
There is only one choice waiting for them, and that is to obediently listen to the words of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, there are still people who are trying to undo this chaotic situation.
The Anglo is one of the most anxious.
"President Xu, why are you doing this?" Ankru looked at Xu Yi with a stern expression, a slight reproach in his eyes, and his tone was full of pain. "Do you know that because your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce unilaterally elected to abolish the cooperation with those lords led by Count Marfa, now their territory has fallen into chaos!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I know." ”
"You know, then why are you doing this?" Ankrul said in an accentuated tone. "Originally, countless civilians in their territory have gained a new life because of the cooperation with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but now because you have been destroyed, you ...... Can you really bear to do that?"
"If you ask me if I can bear it, it is better to ask those lords if I can bear it. Obviously, as long as they promise to continue to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce, they can keep it as it is. It can also benefit the people under their name even more. Now because of their selfishness. Ruined this qiē. I think you'd better question them before you question me. Xu Yidao.
"Selfish?" Ankru frowned. "President Xu, I am well aware of their concerns, and I don't think their thoughts are selfish. It's you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this time it's the real selfishness. Aren't you trying to completely bring the entire Duchy of Stantin into your own control by promoting the erection of the Magic Signal Tower?"
"First of all, I must make an explanation to you. Believe it or not, this tower of magic is nothing like the ancient towers that you and the lords feared that they could completely control others. Secondly. I still have to point out one more fact to you. Ankru, do you really think that the current Duchy of Stantin can really completely get rid of the influence of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Anglo fell silent.
After staring at Xu Yi for a long time, Ankru slowly shook his head.
"No, I know very well that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very important to the current Duchy of Stantin. It is because of you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that the people of the Principality can live a better life than ever before, and the entire Principality has become far stronger than ever. I must admit that in the past few years since your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came to the Principality, the entire Principality has been filled with a positive spirit from top to bottom, and I have never seen the people of the Principality so full of vitality and desire for life. ”
Speaking of which. Ankhru paused, and the conversation changed.
"But...... President Hsu. After all, the principality is the principality of our Stantins, and if you have to try to control the entire principality in your hands, then even if you try to make the entire principality suffer, I will definitely fight to the end!"
Xu Yi glanced at the impassioned Ankru and sneered.
"Fight to the end, hehe, Ankru, I used to think that you are indeed a politician with ambitions and ideals, and is willing to think about the entire Duchy of Statein, but now when I hear you say this, I finally find out that you are still corrupted by the power in your hands after all, and you are no longer the Ankru who is willing to fight for a better life for the people of the Duchy of Statein. ”
Ankru's face changed slightly: "What do you mean by that?"
"You said that you are fighting to the end to make the entire duchy suffer losses? I wonder what are you fighting for? As I said earlier, erecting a magic signal tower will not achieve the terrible consequences you fear, but the lords reacted violently to this, and you reacted even more violently than they did. Why is that?"
"What you're worried about is that the Duchy of Stantin is completely controlled by me, and you have lost the power in your hands, right?"
"Why do you want to make the entire principality suffer losses and fight, why do you have to fight the people of the Principality of Stantin because of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but you are afraid of losing the power in your hands, and you would rather let the lives of the people be affected by strict, and you have to oppose me so fiercely. Ankru, you have disappointed me so much. ”
"I didn't!" In the face of Xu Yide's reprimand, Ankru's expression suddenly became extremely excited, and he waved his arms vigorously and retorted loudly: "I really don't want the entire principality to fall under your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or your control, but it has nothing to do with my personal power, I just hope that this principality is still the country of our Stantinians, and should not fall into the hands of you, an outsider!"
Xu Yi frowned and looked at Ankru for a while, his expression a little strange.
"Ankru, I remember you weren't so stupid before. You can just think about this kind of thing in your heart, but now you really come to me and say it, what are you thinking? Is it because you have been the president of the National Assembly for a few years that you have been completely corrupted by power and even your brain has been hollowed out?"
"I'm just saying what I'm talking about. Ankru gasped and said with an angry expression: "The reason why I reached an agreement with you privately to help your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gain a foothold in the Duchy of Stantin is that I think that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can make the entire Duchy better. But now I regret it very much, I did it in the first place, I was a wolf in the house!"
Xu Yi shook his head: "I don't think our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has any wolf-like behavior. ”
"Aren't you persecuting these lords this time?" Ankru asked aloud.
Xu Yi let out a piercing sneer: "These lords are not ordinary people of the Duchy of Stantin, their thoughts are none of my business. Ankru, to say such things is proof that you have completely changed. You used to think about the lives of the people of the Duchy of Stantin, but now you are speaking for these noble lords. Your ass is crooked right now. ”
Ankru looked stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "These noble lords represent the people of the entire principality! you are hurting those people by persecuting them and plunging their territories into chaos!"
"Really?" Xu Yi smiled slightly, took out a copy of Wen Jiàn from the table next to him, looked at it, and then threw it to Ankru. "The root cause of this incident is mainly due to the deep misunderstanding of the Magic Signal Tower by those lords. But where did these misunderstandings come from? Ankru, are you curious?"
Ankru took the text in surprise, opened it and looked at it, and his face changed dramatically in an instant.
Xu Yi stared at him and kept sneering.
"Anklu, you are really scheming in order to ensure that you control the principality. As early as more than a year ago, he began to secretly contact these lords in private, assuring them that they were all kinds of disobedient to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and what they did was nothing more than hoping that one day they would be able to control our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in turn, right? It's a pity, you overestimate your ability too much. The lords of the principality have gained a lot of benefits because of their cooperation with our Chamber of Commerce, and you can't bring them the same thing, so how can they be completely on the same page with you? You must know that this information is not deliberately collected by me. ”
Ankru stared at the various information on the Chinese jiàn in his hand, and countless drops of cold sweat instantly oozed from his forehead.
The above information is all about his private contact with various noble lords in the principality for more than a year, which records in detail his private contact with these noble lords, trying to unite these noble lords against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even which lord he went to meet on which day of the month has a detailed record, which can be seen in the details of the information.
Many of the details Ankru can be sure that only the parties involved know, but now that this information is clearly recorded, there is only one explanation for this, that is, as Xu Yi said just now, this is simply provided by the person he met with.
Thinking of this, Ankru suddenly felt a chill to the bone.
At first, when he was willing to follow Xu Yi's proposal to establish the parliament to replace the management of the Grand Duke's mansion and let him serve as the president of the parliament, Ankru was very happy, thinking that the Duchy of Stantin would definitely lead the parliament and the investment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would quickly become stronger.
In the past few years, the Duchy of Stantin has indeed become as powerful as he expected, and the lives of the people of the Duchy have become better and better, and the whole Duchy is full of positive breath that he had never thought of before, which makes him very happy.
However, as time went by, Anglo found that the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the entire principality became deeper and deeper, and it could even be said that every place, every person, and everything in the principality could not get rid of the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In contrast, he, the president of the National Assembly, has a weaker and weaker sense of existence, and many times he is just acting as a puppet to deal with these government affairs that are not important to him.
Ankru is an ambitious person, and naturally he is not willing to go on like this.
So he secretly began to quietly contact the noble lords who were also ambitious and had some scruples about the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, trying to get out of the current situation.
However, Ankru didn't expect that these noble lords in the principality were not completely with him, and they would actually tell Xu Yi!
But it's right to think about it, cooperating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can bring huge benefits to these noble lords, making their lives far more nourishing than before, but what can you gain by cooperating with the Ankru?
Thinking of this truth, Anglocrux suddenly felt like ashes.
He looked at Xu Yi, who had a mocking smile on the other side, put down his hands dejectedly, and sighed deeply.
He knew very well that from today onwards, the fate of the entire Duchy of Stantin would probably be rewritten. (To be continued......)
