Chapter 65: A Wave of Opposition

King Eric pinched his forehead so hard that he felt like his whole head was about to burst open.

The reason for this phenomenon is that he has not been able to sleep properly for several months, and secondly, because of the large pile of official documents in front of him.

Although these documents may seem like a lot, they all say the same thing, and that is a bloody conflict that broke out in Bonta City.

If, in a general sense, this bloody clash was nothing more than an accident, it did not deserve too much attention, and it was impossible for him, the noble king, to have a headache at all.

But the problem is that the meaning behind this bloody conflict is too complex and too heavy, which has triggered a reaction and even a backlash from a bunch of people in the entire Lampari Kingdom, which is why it is so harsh.

The bloodshed was superficially simple, except that the Bonta City Guards had lost ground and killed a civilian in the line of duty.

This kind of thing has happened many times in the history of the Lampari Kingdom, and in the past, it was directly sealed against the civilians, and at most a little money could be settled.

However, as soon as it happened, it was immediately revealed, and in a short period of time, it attracted the attention and reaction of almost everyone in the kingdom.

The root cause of this bloody conflict is that the city guards are trying to enforce the rules of the Bonta City Lord's Mansion to prevent a certain chamber of commerce in Bonta City from using non-regulated farmland magic machinery for harvesting.

After the incident, almost all the newspapers in the Lampari Kingdom reported on it in detail, and many newspapers even followed up on it, writing clearly about the two sides of the conflict and the specific inside story. Let everyone know why this conflict happened.

And it is precisely the reason for knowing it. It caused a huge reaction from countless people in the kingdom.

Does the Bonta City Lord's Mansion have the authority to stipulate that the harvest of farmland must be carried out with a designated brand of farmland magic machinery?

This question. It is at the heart of everyone's questioning.

In most people's eyes, the primary goal of farmland harvesting is to complete the harvest quickly, so as long as the grain in the field can be harvested, it doesn't matter what brand of farmland magic machinery is used.

Moreover, there are now only two brands of farmland magic machinery in the entire Lampari Kingdom, one is the new flying brand, which was used by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce in this conflict, because it was confiscated by the city guards, which caused a bloody conflict.

The other is the Hayata brand. It's not just the brand that Bang Ta City specifies to use. At the same time, it is also a brand used by the Magic Industry Administration in all cities in the Kingdom.

At the same time, the Hayata brand farmland magic machine is also a brand designated by the Department of Agriculture, and before this year's spring ploughing, it has been promoted in many cities in the Lampari Kingdom, and is recommended for use in all cities.

Although neither the Commerce Department nor the Agriculture Department made it mandatory to use the Hayada Farmland Magic Machinery like Bangta City, since it was jointly recommended by the Commerce Department and the Agriculture Administration, the vast majority of cities in the Kingdom still replaced the new Flying Farmland Magic Machinery with the Hayada brand.

Originally, this was nothing, but after the bloody conflict in Bangta City, a lot of opposition came out.

The reasons for the opposition are mainly concentrated on two points, one of which is whether it is the castle lord's mansion or not. Neither the Magical Industry Administration, nor the Commerce Administration, nor even the Agriculture Administration can enforce the use of a certain commodity.

What people want to buy. It must be voluntary.

If it were mandatory, it would be contrary to basic principles.

On the other hand, it mainly focuses on the quality of Hayata's farmland magic machinery.

According to the information conveyed by the newspapers of various cities and cities, the quality of Hayata's farmland magic machinery is really not complimentary.

The reason why this bloody conflict occurred in Bangta City was that the quality of the Hayada brand farmland magic machinery was too poor, and more than half of the twenty Hayada brand small magic harvesters purchased by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce were broken, so they were forced to violate the regulations of the Bonta City Lord's Mansion and use the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery.

However, in order to enforce the rules, the city lord's mansion clashed with the workers of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, which led to tragedy.

If the quality of the Hayata Farmland Magic Machinery could be better, how could such a thing happen?

Moreover, in addition to Bangta City, Hayata's farmland magic machinery is also extremely poor in other cities.

Newspapers all over the country broke the news that the local Hayada brand farmland magic machinery had all kinds of problems in use, and the normal harvest could not be carried out at all.

Many cities have had to re-enable the new flying brand farmland magic machinery because of the frequent problems of Hayada brand farmland magic machinery, so as to catch up with the end of spring ploughing.

Otherwise, the grain production of the Lampari Kingdom in this year's spring cultivation may be greatly affected by this.

In the vast majority of newspapers, there was a strong denunciation of the Hayata Shokai.

Countless people questioned the Hayada Chamber of Commerce, why did the Hayada Chamber of Commerce build such a poor quality farmland magic machine even though they had obtained complete technology from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and received strong support from the Magic Industry Administration?

Don't say it's on par with the new flying brand farmland magic machine, at least you have to be able to use it normally, right?

However, there is also a section of newspapers that put forward another part of the argument.

It is an indisputable fact that the quality of Hayata's farmland magic machinery is too poor, and these newspapers will certainly not force excuses, so they threw the problem on the head of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, claiming that this is because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not give all the real technology for the production of farmland magic machinery to the Hayada Chamber of Commerce, which leads to the poor quality of the Hayada brand farmland magic machinery.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not hand over all the technology according to the requirements of the Magic Industry Administration, but chose to break off the cooperation in the middle, leaving a mess for the Magic Industry Administration and the ten chambers of commerce represented by the Hayada Chamber of Commerce.

These ten chambers of commerce are now able to produce complete magical machinery, which is enough effort.

In order to support the continued development of these ten chambers of commerce, they will create better and better magic machines in the future, so that the people of the Lampari Kingdom can free themselves from the limitations of the new flying magic machines. I hope you can give these ten chambers of commerce more patience. Support them.

This point of view has naturally been reviled by countless people.

Obviously, the Magic Industry Administration wants to snatch the big cake of the magic machinery market from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As a result, after snatching the technology, he couldn't do it well, and now he still came to blame the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

This is clearly to be a bitch and set up an archway!

An article in the Lampari weekly newspaper brought this anger against the 10 chambers to a climax.

This article is an interview with Dwarf Camby, Chief Magical Mechanical Engineer at the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the Lambari Weekly Newspaper.

In the interview, Camby replied that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had completely transferred all the relevant technology to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration, and there was nothing to hide.

The reason why the quality of the magic machinery they produced is far inferior to that of the Xinfei brand magic machinery, in addition to the fact that the manufacturing process of these ten chambers of commerce is not as good as that of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is also the most important reason, that is, they cut corners in order to save costs.

Take, for example, the small magic harvester that raises the heavy dà problem this time. The Xinfei brand small magic harvester is made of special super-hard steel specially refined by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the price per ton is more than two hundred gold coins.

However, the Hayada brand small magic harvester is made of inferior steel made by the Detroit Chamber of Commerce, which is also one of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration, and is far inferior to the special steel used in the Xinfei brand small magic harvester in terms of hardness, toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and the price per ton is estimated to never exceed fifty gold coins.

The most common problem with the Hayata small magic harvester is the damage to the parts, and the most severe hinge is broken, because the steel quality is too poor.

The report, published in the Lampari Weekly Newspaper, lists a series of detailed numbers given by Camby, comparing the Xinfei small magic harvester with the Hayada small magic harvester in all aspects.

Although the number jù is boring, it looks very distinct.

In contrast, the Hayada brand small magic harvester can undoubtedly be regarded as a strict cutting corner. Of course, the quality can't be good.

As soon as this conclusion came out, there were only a few newspapers that questioned the number given by Camby. No one will ever say anything good about Hayata Shoyu anymore.

As a result, less than a month after the bloody conflict in Bunta City, a series of boycotts of the Hayada Chamber of Commerce broke out in the Lamari Kingdom, and all cities in the Kingdom declared that the city would no longer use any farmland magic machinery produced by the Hayata Shokai.

Since then, these activities have evolved into a boycott of any magical machinery produced by the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration.

In the eyes of everyone, it is also one of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration, and the magic machinery produced by the Hayata Chamber of Commerce is so bad, and the magic machinery produced by several other chambers of commerce will only be just as bad.

Moreover, before that, there were already many objections to the quality of the magic machinery products produced by several other chambers of commerce in various parts of the kingdom, and now they are just taking advantage of this momentum to expand their influence.

The official documents that were now in front of King Eric were sent by the Lord's Mansion in many cities in the kingdom, claiming that they had asked the Magical Industry Administration to audit the ten chambers of commerce they had designated, strictly despite the quality of the magical machinery they produced.

Otherwise, a large number of cities in the kingdom will simply refuse to import the magic machines produced by these chambers of commerce.

And among these official documents, there are more straightforward ones.

For example, Count Satsuma, the lord of Thurwell City, directly declared in an official document that Thurwell City will not accept the management of the Magic Industry Administration in the future, and will vigorously support the development of the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce in the city.

Eleven other cities made the same choice as the city of Thurwell, accounting for almost a third of the kingdom of Lampari.

If you count all the other cities that have sent official documents, there is almost not a single city in the entire Lampari Kingdom that still supports the Magical Industry Administration.

Glancing at the official documents in front of him, King Eric only felt that his head hurt a little more, and he couldn't help frowning deeply, cursing in a low voice, and then felt deep helplessness.

Although he is now nominally the noble king of the Lampari Kingdom, there are very few things he can actually control.

Not to mention that these cities and the noble lords who also protested changed their attitudes, even the various departments under the kingdom council, such as the Magical Industry Administration, the Commerce Administration, and the Agriculture Administration, which should be under his command, he would not be able to influence any of them.

"If Sevigny had been the king, would she have been much better off than I am now, with the support of Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing the familiar footsteps of Duke Stark outside the door, King Eric smiled bitterly. (To be continued......)
