Chapter 43: Consequences

The clean-up operation carried out by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny against the orc clan in the Black Rice Wasteland did not attract much attention in the Lampari Kingdom.

Even the "Bonta Daily" and "Lampari Weekly", which have always paid special attention to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny, did not say a word about this matter because of Xu Yi's care.

However, the situation in the kingdom of Lampari is not calm at all.

Due to the unilateral termination of the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration, the Magical Industry Administration ruled that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had broken the contract in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's unilateral violation of the agreement, so the management department revoked the right to produce any magic machinery in the Kingdom.

To everyone's surprise, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not raise any objection to this ruling.

After the verdict came out, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce closed all production bases and factory workshops in a total of six cities in the Lampari Kingdom within half a month, and completely stopped producing magic machinery.

The rest has not stopped running, only the product service centers set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in many cities are left, and they still maintain after-sales service for customers who purchase Xinfei brand magic machinery.

As for the rest, the only thing left is the branch of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is now located in the Sanchiton Manor, which was relocated from the Falling Rain Valley, and the branch of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center.

Moreover, these two places are currently only researching and developing the various magic machines that have been developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of improving and upgrading, and do not develop new products, nor do they carry out any actual production of magic machinery. However, it is not subject to the ruling of the Magical Industry Administration.

Besides. The only factory floor that is still functioning is the new flying chamber. But all that remains is a fruit canning factory in the village of Koror.

So in just a blink of an eye, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has changed from the most promising and promising chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom to a chamber of commerce that cannot produce any magic machinery in an instant, and in the eyes of most people, this has basically pronounced the death sentence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

If you can't produce magic machines, is it still a new flying chamber of commerce?

Of course, for this situation faced by the new flying chamber of commerce. People are not only embarrassed, but also many people are shocked and even angry.

At the beginning, the Magical Industry Administration forced the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to disclose its technology and share technology with the ten designated chambers of commerce, which in the eyes of everyone was a bandit act that completely violated business principles.

Now President Xu can't bear it anymore and decides to terminate this unfair cooperation, and the Magic Industry Administration is so good that he directly wants to beat the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to death!

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce did not object to the Magical Industry Administration's ruling, but countless voices in the Kingdom questioned the Magical Industry Administration.

In many cities in the kingdom, there were even many commoners who organized themselves spontaneously. Gather in front of the product service centers set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in these cities, and publicly express support for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And in a number of newspapers in various cities. There are also various articles supporting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Among them, the headline of the article published on the front page of Lampari Weekly is the most straightforward.

"Magical Industry Administration = Bandit Boss?"

Matching this somewhat scary title at first glance is a more direct and sharp article.

In this article, the spearhead is directly aimed at the Magical Industry Administration, claiming that the Magical Industry Administration is not worthy of being the department responsible for managing the magical industry system in the Kingdom of Lampari, but is basically assisting the ten designated chambers of commerce to rob the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce nakedly, and is basically leading a group of shameful bandits!

This article does not use all kinds of obscure words to accuse like other newspapers, but points out the Magic Industry Administration by name, and even at the end of the article, it is not particularly vaguely mentioned that behind the ten chambers of commerce are some big nobles in the kingdom, which will get such strong support and dare to treat the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like this.

People who know some insiders can't help but be shocked when they see this article.

This "Lampari Weekly" dared to fire directly at the Magical Industry Administration, and dared to name the big people behind the scenes, which is completely an act of seeking death.

However, after seeing the name of the author marked in the article, people's hearts were immediately shocked.

It is understandable that Baron Haynas himself wrote the title of the book and published the article.

If you think about it again, these people who know a little bit about the inside story will only feel that the shock in their hearts is several times more intense.

The reason why Baron Hainas was able to start the "Lampari Weekly", and the reason why the "Lampari Weekly" was able to gain a foothold in the city of Anwemar and quickly develop into the leading and most influential newspaper in the Lampari Kingdom, was naturally because Baron Hainas had the support of some big people with huge power.

Now he has publicly published such an article in the "Lampari Weekly", which clearly represents the will of those big people behind him, and it can be regarded as a clear expression of the attitude of those big people.

The wording of this article is so fierce, I am afraid that the big figures behind him who support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are really dissatisfied with the decision of the Magic Industry Administration.

Among these people, the Earl of Satsuma, who is currently the lord of the city of Sewell, is the most fierce and has the most clear attitude.

As early as when the Commercial Department decided to increase the special tax on magical machinery, the Earl of Satsuma did the opposite in Thurwell City, imposing additional subsidies on magical machinery, just to balance out the special tax imposed by the Commercial Bureau.

At the same time, Count Satsuma has always had a very inactive attitude towards this so-called special tax, which makes the few chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery in Sè Vale City, which have just emerged this year, much better than all the other magic machinery chambers in the kingdom.

Because of this policy implemented by the Earl of Satsuma, many other cities have moved to Thurwell City.

Now, around the production base built by the former Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a large-scale magical industrial park has been built outside the city of Thurwell.

Although it is not comparable to the scale of Bangta City before, this magic industrial park contains all the current magic industry-related chambers of commerce, and it can be said that it has a small and relatively complete industrial system model.

And after the Magical Industry Administration announced that it would ban the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from producing magic machinery in the Lampari Kingdom, Count Satsuma didn't even do a little superficial effort, and even directly declared that the ruling of the Magic Industry Administration was not in line with the laws of the kingdom, and the city of Sewell would not recognize it and would never implement it.

As the lord of a city, it is undoubtedly a very strict thing to openly disobey the orders of the kingdom administration, but the Earl of Satsuma is still sitting well in the position of the lord of Sewell City, and there is no sign of instability in his position.

Of course, the open and secret battles between the big men above are simply out of reach for the commoners at the bottom of the kingdom.

For the civilians, they only found one thing, and that was because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was banned from producing magic machinery, a large number of jobs generated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's magic machinery industry chain were lost, and many people lost their jobs, both directly and indirectly.

Although the ten chambers of commerce of the Magical Industry Administration began to recruit a large number of people after that, the salaries offered by these ten chambers of commerce to the workers were too far from before, and the various welfare policies were even more suspended, which naturally led to the extreme dissatisfaction of countless people.

In addition, the people who suffered the most in this incident were the small chambers of commerce that had previously depended on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to survive.

After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was banned from producing magic machinery, all the small chambers of commerce that were previously associated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were naturally affected.

For example, the small chambers of commerce that used to rely on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce to provide parts processing, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stopped producing magic machinery, and the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration incorporated parts processing into their own system, and it was difficult for these small chambers of commerce to receive orders.

In less than a month after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the cessation of production, dozens of small chambers of commerce mainly engaged in parts processing in Bangta City have announced the suspension of production.

In addition to the previous Magical Industry Administration's special tax on magic machinery, some of the chambers that had ceased production and closed down, in less than half a year, more than half of the chambers of commerce related to magic machinery in Bonta City had disappeared.

Although the current city of Bangta can still be regarded as very prosperous, it is far from half a year ago.

What's more, on the streets of Bonta City, there are fewer and fewer signs belonging to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and the half-amputated winged wings that used to be everywhere have gradually disappeared from the city, replaced by various new brand icons of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration.

A qiē and a qiē seem to be announcing a fact.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce is about to disappear from Bonta City.

However...... Has the New Flying Chamber of Commerce really disappeared?

Shift your gaze from Bonta City to the southwest to the Black Rice Wasteland, about two hundred kilometers away from Bonta City, or sneak a little further south to the Principality of Stantin, and you will find that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has not disappeared, but has grown rapidly in these two places.

On the road leading to the Black Rice Wasteland and the Duchy of Stantin, cargo magic vehicles are speeding up with countless goods, transporting the magic machinery produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to different destinations.

The Magical Industry Administration only prohibits the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from continuing to produce magic machinery in the Lampari Kingdom, but does not prohibit the New Flying Chamber from continuing to sell magic machinery in the Kingdom.

Reason?

Quite simply, this matter is under the control of the Kingdom Commercial Administration, but it is a matter that the Magical Industry Administration cannot decide.

And no matter how much the Commerce Department wants to target the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, how dare it issue such a ban on such a clashing of public outrage on the cusp of such a storm?

Even His Majesty King Eric would not dare to give such an order...... (To be continued......)
