The scenery of the wheat fields is not the only thing that sets Bonta City apart from other cities.

Sophia and the four of them walked along the road, not only saw that there were already many farmers in the wheat field who were operating magic harvesters to harvest wheat quickly and efficiently, but also saw that many beautiful brick buildings were being built in many places that were not wheat fields.

These small brick buildings are exquisitely shaped, and they are connected one by one, forming a large and spectacular living community.

In addition, they also saw that there were countless workers on both sides of the Sandy River, which was about fifty meters wide outside the city of Bonta, busy piling up bricks and stones and other things along the river, and they did not know what they were doing.

They also saw a lot of barren land, huge factories rising from the ground, and many people busy on the construction site.

When the carriage finally drove into the gate of Bonta City, looking at the lively and crowded appearance outside the carriage, Sophia finally couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, and exclaimed: "Why are there so many people here? Isn't Bangta City a small town? Why do I think there are many more people here than we Anvimar?"

Baron Haynas glanced out of the carriage and smiled, "A small city with a population of only 50,000 has suddenly become a population of more than 200,000. Of course, in fact, Bonta City is still not as populated as our Anvimar City. You must know that according to the results of the last statistics, the total number of people in Anweimar City is more than 500,000. ”

"But more than 200,000 is not a lot. Sophia was still surprised. "A city with so many people can be regarded as a big city in the entire kingdom. Haynath, why is there suddenly so many more people in Bunta City?"

"The reason is simple. Because there are many, many job opportunities in Bang Ta City now. Suffice it to say, whoever comes here. You can find a job that satisfies you. You know, the major chambers of commerce in Bang Ta City now only employ an ordinary worker without any skills. The minimum salary is also ten gold coins a month. Henas replied.

"Ten gold coins a month?" Sophia thought for a moment, then turned to Kennard and asked, "Is it much?"

"A lot. Because even if it is an ordinary worker in Anweimar City, a month's salary is generally only about six gold coins. Kennard nodded. "So it's not surprising that there are so many more people in Bunta City all of a sudden. Sophia, you should know that many people in our kingdom don't even have enough to eat, and they are very satisfied to have a job. And if you can get a salary of ten gold coins a month, it is a very satisfying thing for many people. ”

Sophia thought about it and felt a little strange.

"That's not right, Anvimar is the capital of the kingdom. Workers should be paid the highest salaries. Why does the Chamber of Commerce in Bonta pay the workers so much? Do they have too much money?"

"You should ask Xu Yi about this. Haynath smiled. "Because this guy was the first to offer high wages to the workers, the other chambers of commerce in Bonta City had no choice but to offer the same high wages to their workers, otherwise the workers would all be robbed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Why does it have anything to do with this guy again?" Sophia muttered dissatisfiedly. "Isn't everything in Bonta City related to this guy? ”

Henas laughed, "You're right. Whatever you see in Bonta City now, you might have something to do with him in some way. Who made the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce too influential in Bangta City now? ”

"I don't believe it. Sophia pursed her lips, glanced out the car window, and suddenly pointed to a shop on the side of the street and shouted, "Look, this has nothing to do with him, right?"

Henas glanced in the direction Sophia was pointing and saw that it was a women's clothing store.

Glancing at the sign on the women's clothing store. Haynath burst out laughing.

"Haha, Sophia, I'm sorry, you're wrong again. This shop sells women's clothing. However, the clothes sold in this shop are all made by the Armani Chamber of Commerce. Some time ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce just developed a magic textile machine for the Armani Chamber of Commerce, and now the clothes and fabrics of the Armani Chamber of Commerce are all made of magic textile machines. You said. Does this have anything to do with Xu Yi?"

Sophia's eyes widened, staring at the women's clothing store. It wasn't until it disappeared behind the car window that it turned back indignantly. glared at Heinath and Kennard, who were snickering, and snorted coldly: "This Xu Yi is so annoying!

Kennard smiled slightly, "Sophia, do you really hate him so much? If nothing else, I'm afraid you'll be meeting his real person in twenty minutes. ”

###

Twenty minutes later, the carriage for four people stopped in a quiet alley west of the city.

The four of them got out of the carriage, and Sophia looked up at the beautiful two-story wooden building in front of her, looking a little surprised.

"It's nice to live in a nice place for this nasty guy. But since he is so rich, why don't he buy a manor house for himself outside the city?

"Xu Yi is actually a very frugal guy. As far as I can see, he doesn't care much about anything about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he usually lives very frugally. Haynes said. "He used to live in a very shabby ordinary rented house, and I don't think he would have thought of moving to this small building if it weren't for Vivien. ”

"Who's Vivien? Sounds like a girl's name. Didn't he have Miss Steele's girlfriend? Why did he buy this little building because of Vivian? Could he be a very bad fellow, and it wasn't enough to have a beautiful girlfriend like Miss Steele, and he was still entangled with this girl named Vivian?" Sophia asked immediately.

Hennaston couldn't help but pat Sophia on the head and scolded, "Where did you think you went? Vivien was a slave he bought. I'm only fifteen years old this year, not as old as you. Xu Yi has always treated her as a sister. ”

"Hmph. Now when my sister looks at it, maybe I won't see it that way in two years. Sophia muttered quietly. Catching a glimpse of Kennard glaring at him, he quickly closed his mouth, not daring to discuss the topic again.

But in her mind, she has automatically judged Xu Yi to be a scumbag who likes to play with female slaves and pedal two boats at the same time.

Ignoring what Sophia was thinking, Haynas glanced at the figure on the second floor, and it seemed that someone was home, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps kicking inside the door. The door was wide open, and a youthful and beautiful little face was revealed.

"Hey, Vivien, I haven't seen you in a few months, you seem to have grown up a lot, and you're a lot more beautiful than before. Haynas raised his hand and said hello.

Vivien glanced at Haynas, remembered it instantly, and hurriedly saluted him respectfully: "Hello Lord Baron, you suddenly came here today. Do you want to find the master for something?"

"Of course, if it's not looking for him, I've come all the way from Anwemar City to do something. Haynas smiled and turned sideways. Let Vivien see the other three behind her. "Go tell Xu Yi, and say that I brought three friends to visit him. ”

"Yes, Lord Baron. Please come and sit down with your three friends, and I'll tell you that you're here. ”

Vivien ushered the four of them into the living room on the first floor and sat down. poured tea for the four of them again, and then confessed. Pedal and trot upstairs.

Seeing Vivien's figure disappear around the corner of the second floor, Sophia withdrew her gaze from looking at her for a long time, turned her head to look at Henus, and exclaimed softly, "She's Vivian? ”

"Oh, why do you think so?" said Haynath, a little strange.

"Because she is so beautiful, and so temperamental, she is like a young lady from a noble family, how can she be a slave? Could she actually be the daughter of some ruined nobleman? That's not right, no matter how dilapidated, she won't make her daughter a slave?" Sophia wondered.

"It's not as complicated as you think. Vivien used to be a slave, and the reason why she became what she is now is entirely because Xu Yi bought her and carefully cultivated her. When I first met her last year, she was just a completely unremarkable little girl. I didn't expect that less than a year has passed, and she has become so beautiful now, and even her temperament has become so good. I have to say that Xu Yi is very willing to spend money on her training and education. Haynes said.

"Hmph, spending so much money on a female slave must be to satisfy his bad tastes. Sophia pouted.

"Sophia, watch your words!" Kennard suddenly whispered. "If you keep this attitude any longer, you'll go back with Uncle Hank tomorrow and don't stay here any longer. ”

Kennard actually dotes on Sophia's sister, and rarely speaks to her in such a strict tone, but Sophia knows that once his tone becomes like this, it proves that he is really angry.

So Sophia could only stick out her tongue obediently, mumbled, and said no more.

A moment later, two footsteps, one light and one heavy, sounded on the stairs.

Of course, the light one is Vivian, who has just gone up, and the heavy one is naturally Xu Yi.

Haynath, Kennard, and Hank all stood up in unison.

Sophia was still sitting and drinking tea in a muffled voice, but when she noticed the movements of the three of them, she woke up, quickly put down the teacup, and stood up obediently, looking at the stairs.

Although Sophia heard the name Xu Yi from Haynas and Kennard countless times along the way, and had a general understanding of this person from their conversations, and also formed a certain impression of Xu Yi, in any case, it was not as intuitive as seeing him in person.

Sophia's eyes widened, expectant and curious.

A pair of feet emerged from the corner of the stairs, then a pair of long legs in plain cotton trousers, and then a large but somewhat thin upper body with an ugly blue linen shirt.

Finally, the face was revealed.

Sophia glanced at it and immediately felt disappointed. (To be continued......)
