Chapter 66 In this land, he is the king
"Your Majesty, this is actually an opportunity. Duke Stark kept his usual smile and said with a look of confidence.
"Chance?" King Eric looked at Duke Starr in confusion.
Now that the situation in the kingdom has become so bad, he still says that this is an opportunity?
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten, because Her Royal Highness Queen Severny has very simply given up competing with you for the throne, although it is much easier for you, but those who oppose you in the kingdom are also hidden for this reason. In the past, when they didn't do anything, it was not even easy for us to really distinguish them, and it was even more difficult to do something to them. Now that they've jumped out because of this, isn't that a good opportunity to deal with them?"
Seeing the dangerous smile on Duke Stark's face, a chill ran through King Eric's heart.
This Duke Stark, who is ordinary on the surface and always wears a harmless smile from humans and animals, is extremely ruthless in his heart.
The current situation may indeed be a good opportunity for him to eliminate dissent, and he will not tolerate it.
But is this really a good opportunity for him as a king and for the entire Lampari kingdom?
If Eric had only a simple idea of the overall situation in the kingdom before he ascended to the throne, now that he has been king for nearly a year, he already has a deep understanding of the real situation in the entire kingdom.
Before that, he was very dissatisfied with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's refusal to support his ascension to the throne, and always thought about once he ascended the throne. It will definitely solve the new flying chamber of commerce completely.
And that's exactly what he did.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been subjected to all kinds of targets, it is those nobles who are targeted. But in fact, they all received his strong support.
At first he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. However, as time passed, the impact of the loss of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on Bonta City and even on the entire Lampari Kingdom gradually became apparent.
Even if there was no bloody conflict this time, Eric had already fully understood the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce through various reports and other information reported from various places.
And this influence, most of the time, is positive, positive.
Even Eric can categorically. Bangta City has been able to develop so rapidly in recent years, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has played the most important role in it.
And the financial situation of the entire Lampari Kingdom has also improved significantly in recent years, which is also closely related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If you stand in the position of the king of the Lampari Kingdom, and consider the entire Lampari Kingdom, in fact, Eric should be the same as his father Lampari XIII, and firmly support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But at this point, of course he couldn't stop.
Moreover, the ten chambers of commerce established by the big nobles who supported him had already squeezed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce out of the Lampari Kingdom, even if he wanted to keep the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it was impossible.
The great nobles who supported him, led by the Stark family, had almost completely snatched the market for all magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce through these ten chambers of commerce, and had gained great benefits from it.
Even if Eric is the most honorable king of the Lampari Kingdom, His Majesty. But they definitely don't dare to compete with these stubborn conservative aristocratic groups who hold real power in their hands and have almost controlled the entire Lampari Kingdom.
Don't say anything else. Just the Stark family represented by the Duke of Stark in front of him, Eric was not sure that he could deal with it.
Seeing that Eric was silent, Duke Stark didn't guess what he really thought in his heart, and thought that he was just hesitating, so he smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, I know that you may be worried that this may cause turmoil in the kingdom. But rest assured, for these things I have a well-established set of plans to deal with those who oppose you slowly and efficiently, guaranteeing that nothing will go wrong. ”
Eric sighed inwardly, knowing that he had no room for opposition.
When Duke Stark came to tell him about it, maybe he had already started to implement the plan, and now he had just come to inform him.
Anyway, now that he has basically all the power in the kingdom in his hands, and even the Praetorian Guards of this palace almost only obey his orders, what is the point of Eric's opinion?
After a moment of silence, Eric nodded slightly: "Okay, just do what the duke wants." ”
Duke Stark looked like he had expected it, smiled slightly, and saluted Eric.
"Then Your Majesty, please pay attention to rest, I will take my leave first. ”
Seeing Duke Stark disappear outside the door, Eric's face instantly sank, and his right hand squeezed hard, and the ink pen the thickness of his little finger snapped into two.
###
The unrest in the city of Bonta did not have the slightest effect on the Duchy of Stantin, which was hundreds of kilometers away.
The spring harvest in Bangta City actually caused a bloody conflict that shocked the entire Lampari Kingdom, and the entire spring harvest was affected, and the guide was much slower, and more than 100,000 hectares of farmland were planted in Xinfei Farm, which had been harvested half a month ago.
Compared with last year, due to the upgrading of the farmland magic machinery by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year, a new type of medium-sized farmland magic machinery has been invested in the farmland, making the harvesting efficiency much higher than last year.
Although 20,000 hectares of new farmland have been reclaimed this year compared to last year, the total harvesting time is three days less than last year.
The new generation of Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery naturally aroused unanimous praise, not only the Lord of Weilun took the lead in ordering dozens of sets from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but even the Ruerson Kingdom, the Duchy of Mirando, and the Duchy of Drake, which was thousands of kilometers away, sent representatives to order from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, adding up to nearly a thousand sets.
The total value of these orders alone has exceeded three million gold coins, representing the first heavy sale of civilian magic machinery by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year.
As for the military magic machinery, because it promised to use it to exchange it for territory from the Lord of Weilun, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has greatly reduced its sales. Sold only to other chambers of commerce that are more closely related. The total transaction volume does not exceed one million gold coins. On the contrary, it has declined.
However, if the value of the first batch of various military magic machines supplied to Lord Weilun is also counted, the total price of the military magic machinery part will exceed two million gold coins.
Counting the various household magic machines and a small number of magic machine tools sold in the first few months of this year, the total sales of the new flying chamber of commerce exceeded a staggering seven million gold coins in less than five months of this year alone.
With the consistently high profit margin of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, from the sales of these seven million gold coins, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can at least obtain a net profit of more than three million gold coins.
This surprised Xu Ye.
Originally, I thought that this year, the new flying chamber of commerce has been rebuilding the production base and reopening the market. The Chamber of Commerce as a whole will see a significant decline in sales and profits.
But judging from the current situation, although it has indeed decreased a lot compared to the same period last year, from a total of more than 4.3 million gold coins in the first five months of last year, to just over 3 million gold coins now, it is not too much less, not only completely acceptable, but even Xu Yi and all the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce are a little surprised.
Being able to make such a high profit in this situation is enough to prove that the world's pursuit of magical machinery has not diminished in the slightest.
Although it was forced to withdraw from the market of the Lampari Kingdom, with the continuous development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it opened up the markets of many other countries and regions outside the Lampari Kingdom. The prospects are only broader.
In the Kingdom of Ruersun, the Duchy of Mirando, the Duchy of Draco, and even the Kingdom of Sark. The new flying brand magic machinery has already represented the trend, but also represents the most advanced items, countless families are proud to own a new flying brand household magic machine.
According to the current trend, it is believed that it will not be long before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will occupy the vast majority of the magic machinery market in these countries, as it does in the Kingdom of Lampari.
Why not all markets?
Of course, it's because Xu Yi also has to leave some space for other chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery.
However, for Xu Yi, during this time, the most important thing for him was not how much sales and profits the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce made, how much money he made from it, but how much money he spent.
Precisely, how much money was spent on Grand Duke Stantin.
Although Lord Weilun said it easily, it was still very difficult to transfer the territory under his name to Xu Yi, a de facto foreigner, to obtain a pass from the Grand Duke of Stantin.
Since signing the agreement with Lord Weilun, in just one month, Xu Yi and Grand Duke Standing have met seven times, and spent a huge amount of money of more than one million gold coins before finally finalizing this matter.
Today is the day when Grand Duke Stantin conferred the honor on Xu Yi.
According to the rules of the Duchy of Staten, or the rules of the entire Sainz continent, if you are not a nobleman, you must not have a private territory.
Therefore, transferring a piece of territory to Xu Yi from Lord Weilun still requires a very complicated and troublesome procedure that has taken several circles.
First of all, Lord Weilun declared that he was not capable of continuing to manage and manage all the territories under his name, and took the initiative to hand over the territory agreed with Xu Yi to the principality.
Then, the Grand Duke of Stantin made a special commendation to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, commending the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for its outstanding contributions to the prosperity and development of the Principality of Stantin.
After that, the Grand Duke of Stantin would grant the territory handed over by the previous Lord of Weilun to Lord Xu Yi as his personal domain.
After such a procedure, that territory was legally recognized as Xu Yi's private territory.
After receiving the lord's badge from the hands of Grand Duke Stantin, as well as the certificate of conferment of the private domain, it means that from this moment on, that territory can be regarded as Xu Yi's private domain.
The situation is different in the Duchy of Stantin and the Kingdom of Lampari.
As long as Xu Yi has enough strength to protect and manage this private territory, then he will be the king in this territory! (To be continued......
