Chapter 135: The Meaning of Serving You
"What nonsense?" Count Satsuma glared at Xu Yi angrily.
"Why do you want to build an arsenal if you don't want to rebel?" Xu Yi blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be controlled by the military department alone?"
"Who told you that the arsenal could only be built by the military department itself?" Count Satsuma shook his head. "It seems that you don't know much about the military policy of our Lampari Kingdom. ”
"I'm just a businessman. Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Sue you, although the military department is in charge of the military of the kingdom, the various cities and even the nobles under the kingdom also have their own qualifications to control a certain amount of military power. What's more, the city of Sewell is close to the northern border, and it has a higher authority on it. My plan to build an arsenal in the city of Sewell has long been submitted, and has been approved by His Majesty the King and the Ministry of War. ”
"Aren't you really afraid of others rebelling like this......" Xu Yi couldn't help muttering.
"As long as the power in the hands of His Majesty the King is guaranteed to be the strongest, no one will want to rebel. Count Satsuma replied lightly. "Okay, you haven't answered my question yet, does your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have the ability to build an arsenal?"
Xu Yi thought for a while and replied: "We can prepare all the magic machine tools and equipment needed by the arsenal, but what about the arsenal building...... That's not what our chamber of commerce does. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own arrangements. Count Satsuma nodded. "Since your Chamber of Commerce can do this, then I will now officially order all the magic machine tools related to the production of military magic machinery from your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on behalf of Thurwell City. When will you be able to provide it?"
"I want to ...... It will be a year old at the earliest. Xu Yi replied. "As for the full-scale production, I'm afraid it will have to wait until at least next summer. ”
"Yes, my forecast is to be in production by the end of next year. Of course, it would be best to be able to have some in advance. Count Satsuma said.
"That should be fine. Xu Yi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "City Lord, can you tell me, what are you going to build an arsenal for? If it is to change the clothes of the city defense army of Sewell City, I think it is more convenient and less expensive to order directly from our Chamber of Commerce." ”
"Originally, I was there to solve the problem of armies in various cities in the north of the kingdom. lest they always have to buy from such a distance as the city of Bonta. In particular, if the Zhenbei Army wants to maintain excellent armaments, it is obviously more convenient to get it from the city of Sewell. Coupled with an order from His Majesty the King two days ago, the Third Army of the Kingdom Garrison Corps was transferred. Then this arsenal is even more necessary. ”
Xu Yi frowned slightly, His Majesty the King chose to transfer the Third Army of the Kingdom Garrison Legion, which is known as the most well-equipped, most rigorously trained, and one of the most elite royal core forces in the Lampari Kingdom, to the city of Sewell. Apparently to guard against the Kingdom of Sark.
But since he was prepared. Why don't you just order His Royal Highness Prince Eric not to rashly attack the Kingdom of Sark?
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi still couldn't figure out the thoughts of His Majesty the King, so he had to give up.
"Okay, I'll do my best to arrange the production of the magic machine tools and equipment needed for the arsenal after I go back this time, and ship them over in advance. Xu Yidao. "But Lord of the City, this place is not far from the border with the Sark Kingdom, and the arsenal is set up here, which is likely to arouse the vigilance and covetousness of the Sark Kingdom. If you don't do it, you'll put the city of Sewell in a very dangerous situation. ”
"Of course I do. Count Satsuma snorted coldly. "As long as those guys from the Sark Kingdom dare to come, I will definitely teach them a good lesson. ”
Seeing that the Count of Satsuma looked very confident. Xu Yi didn't say more, and after talking to Count Satsuma about some details, Count Satsuma saw that it was late, so he announced the end of the banquet.
In order to welcome the arrival of everyone from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Count Satsuma specially vacated a side courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion and arranged for everyone to enter it together.
As the president, Xu Yi naturally obtained a separate small courtyard.
I don't know if Count Satsuma did it on purpose, this small courtyard arranged for Xu Yi is actually only separated by a wall from another small courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion where Lord Caroline has stayed in the past few days.
Seeing Xu Yi enter the arranged courtyard, the Caroline County Lord, who left with Xu Yi after the banquet, threw Xu Yi a look full of ** and seductiveness.
"President Xu, this wall shouldn't be able to stop you, a powerful magician......, right? I'm waiting for you at any time. ”
"Well...... I'm tired after a day's drive today, and I want to rest early. Xu Yi waved his hand at Lord Caroline, and went into his room without looking back.
Behind him, there was immediately a crisp silver bell like Carolyn's county lord, but with a hint of coquettish laughter.
Xu Yi naturally couldn't really fall asleep immediately, and after taking a bath quickly, according to the usual practice, he had to make a summary of the day's things before going to bed, and by the way, make arrangements for the next day's work.
Because the construction of the production base in Thurwell City will officially start tomorrow, Xu Yi must also clear his mind and prepare in advance.
At the banquet in the evening, Xu also told the Caroline County Lord Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that he planned to build a cement factory first, and then a steel mill, which was not false.
No matter what you want to build in the city of Sewell, the cement factory is a must, and the foundation of the magic industry is steel, so the steel mill must be built as soon as possible.
With these two infrastructures in place, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can even build a magic machine factory in Thurwell City to produce all kinds of magic machine tools on site, without having to travel all the way from Bonta City, which is a thousand kilometers away.
Xu Yi put a map of Thurwell City provided by Count Satsuma on the table, and on this map, Count Satsuma also marked the address of the production base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that had been set in advance.
The address on this was determined by Count Satsuma and Xu Yi in advance, so naturally there was no problem.
But today, I heard that Count Satsuma also wants to build an arsenal in Thurwell City, so Xu Yi has to think about some more things.
If the arsenal is built. This news must not be hidden from the Sark Kingdom, so it is certain that the Sark Kingdom will definitely be very interested in this arsenal.
In case the Kingdom of Sark truly realizes the great value of this arsenal. If an army is sent to invade this arsenal, and the city of Sewell can't stop it, then the losses suffered by the city of Sewell and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not only be some equipment, but also some important information.
Therefore, Xu Yi is now thinking about how to ensure the normal operation of the production base and arsenal in Thurwell City, while also protecting the corresponding confidential information to the greatest extent.
It's a very contradictory thing to want to produce. It is inevitable that relevant information needs to be used, and if you want to keep it confidential, you should limit this information. That would inevitably hinder production.
"Speaking of which, if there is no war on this continent, everyone will live together peacefully and develop the economy well. How nice would it be to improve your life?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly. Shaking his head, he knew very well in his heart that his idea was completely delusional.
Whether it is in the age of barbarism, or on the earth where civilization is already highly developed, the struggle between human beings is always inevitable.
The continent of Sainz is still in the stage of a semi-slave and semi-feudal society, and wars between countries are commonplace.
It's like a feud between the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari, which cannot be resolved at all.
"If only I could kill all sides like in the novel, and then unify the whole continent. Let everyone do my bidding, and concentrate on the study of magical machines. It would be nice to develop the magic industry......"
Xu Yi couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart and thought about it.
Just after thinking for a while, the door to the room was pushed open, and Linda walked in.
Seeing that there was still a drop of water hanging on the tip of Linda's hair, Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand to her: "You can go to sleep after you wash up, I still have some things, I don't need you to serve." ”
Linda shook her head, walked behind Xu Yi, pressed her hands on Xu Yi's shoulders, and kneaded them vigorously.
This is also the work that Linda has to do every night these days, her technique is very good, Xu Yi also enjoys it, and after thinking about it, she didn't refuse.
Just as she was about to continue looking at the map, Linda suddenly asked in a low voice, "Master, are you going to Lord Carolyn tonight?"
Xu Yi was stunned: "Why should I go?"
"Because I see that Lord Caroline seems to have been seducing you. She's so pretty, you should be tempted, right?"
Xu Yiwai turned around and looked at Linda: "She is indeed very beautiful, and I am indeed a little tempted, but this does not mean that I have to have something to do with her." What is this for, you ask?"
Linda bit her lip, suddenly took Xu Yi's hand and put it on her towering chest.
Xu Yi immediately frowned: "Linda, didn't I tell you last time, don't do this kind of thing casually?"
Linda was not dismissed by Xu Yi this time like last time, but raised her head and looked directly into Xu Yi's eyes.
"Master, after being reprimanded by you last time, I have thought very clearly during this time. You are the best host, I really like you, my body must be dedicated to you, otherwise I will regret it. If you don't want me this time, then I'm afraid I won't have the face to stay by your side anymore. ”
Feeling the warmth and softness coming from the palm of his hand, Xu Yi sighed and said, "Linda, you think too much. I have never treated you and Liz as slaves, and you don't have to sacrifice your body to secure your name and status like other female slaves, and I don't like such things against your own will. ”
"No, that's what I really think in my own heart, I like you, master. This is my will!" Linda looked serious, and with a movement of her hand, she pulled Xu Yi's hand on her chest into her loose bathrobe, and actually directly touched the smooth skin inside the bathrobe.
Feeling the softness in his hand, and the bulge touched by his fingertips, Xu Yi couldn't help but move in his heart, and his blood surged.
After seeing Lord Caroline today, he has been teased and seduced by Lord Caroline, but in fact, his heart has already throbbed.
If it weren't for his self-control, he might have been able to touch Lord Caroline's room next door tonight.
Now that Linda is putting on a look of letting you taste it, he can't suppress the desire in his heart, and he can't help but want to move.
What's more, remembering that last time it was Steele who took the initiative to send Linda over, Xu Yi didn't have many scruples in his heart.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but react.
Linda's eyes fell on Xu Yi's lower body, and when she saw the bulge, her pretty face was slightly red, but she smiled sweetly, leaned over to Xu Yi's side, and said softly: "Master, Madame asked me to serve you along the way, in fact, that's what it is." ”
After that, Linda reached into Xu Yi's chest with one hand, inserted it into Xu Yi's collar, went all the way down, slid down between Xu Yi's legs, and grabbed it.
Hearing this, the last line of defense in Xu Yi's heart finally collapsed, turned over and picked up Linda, and walked to the side of the bed. (To be continued......)
