Chapter 159: Filling the Vacancies

The emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has led to a boom in magical machinery in the surrounding countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz continent, and has had a great impact on several surrounding countries.

However, in addition to the impact of the magic machine, the biggest change brought to these countries by the emergence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is the improvement of transportation.

The highway, this brand new road, did not attract much attention when it first appeared in Bonta City.

However, when roads were built in the kingdom of Lampari and gradually connected all the cities in the kingdom of Lampari, people immediately discovered the great convenience that roads bring.

With the magic locomotive developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, a new road network has been formed in the kingdom of Lampari.

Compared with the previous horse-drawn carriages on the dirt and dirt roads, all kinds of magic locomotives have been improved in speed and comfort on the flat and spacious roads, and people can instantly forget about the old horse-drawn carriages.

Therefore, after seeing the convenience brought by the road, the countries surrounding the Lampari Kingdom also followed suit and took the initiative to invite the Amritri Chamber of Commerce to enter their own country to build roads.

Today, the total length of roads in the kingdom of Lampari has exceeded 20,000 kilometers, and not only every city has been connected by road, but almost every town has been connected by road.

In second place, however, it is not the Kingdom of Ruersun, which is larger than the Kingdom of Lampari, but the Duchy of Stantin.

The total length of roads in the Kingdom of Ruersun barely exceeded 10,000 kilometers at the beginning of this year, but the total length of roads in the Principality of Stanting exceeded 15,000 kilometers as early as the middle of last year.

If viewed from above, the roads in the Principality of Stantin are like spider webs. Densely replaced almost all the roads that could be replaced. Roads have been built even in places where there were no roads before. You are guaranteed that anywhere in the Duchy of Statine, you can reach another by guò road.

This qiē, of course, is due to the huge influence brought by the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Duchy of Stantin.

In addition, in other neighboring countries, such as the Duchy of Draco, the Duchy of Mirando, the Duchy of Norton, etc., several roads have been built, at least to ensure that the main roads in the country have been replaced by roads.

Even the Falk Kingdom, which had only made formal contact with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the year before last, had already built three roads through the country, and now there are as many as eleven. Work on a total estimated mileage of more than 2,000 kilometers is under construction.

According to the Chamber of Commerce's previous report in the Lampari Weekly Bulletin, it is expected that within five years the basic road network of the neighbouring countries will be completed, connecting them all by road.

Once this plan is completed, even if you advance from the Duchy of Stantin in the southwesternmost corner to the Falk Kingdom in the northeast, the total distance is even close to 2,500 kilometers, and you can still drive on the road.

If you use the new fastest magic car launched by the new flying chamber of commerce, it will only take a day and a half to arrive.

A few years ago, this distance was simply out of reach for almost everyone.

It can be said that the advent of highways has greatly shortened the distance between countries. This has brought these countries in the southwestern corner of the Sainz continent far closer together than before.

However, this qiē has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Sark.

The reason is simple. The Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari have always been hostile, but the Amrri Chamber of Commerce is a Chamber of Commerce affiliated with the Kingdom of Lampari.

Coupled with the relationship between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Sark, it is certainly impossible for the Amrley Chamber of Commerce to enter the Kingdom of Sark to build roads.

So while other countries around it are investing heavily in paving roads and working hard to create a new road transportation network, the Kingdom of Sark can only watch, no matter how much it desires in its heart, it is helpless.

However, with the establishment of a free trade zone between the kingdoms of Lampari and the kingdoms of Sark, the relationship between the two countries has been loosened, but the Kingdom of Sark has seen a glimmer of hope.

However, the Sark Kingdom has repeatedly made explicit and hinted to the Lampari Kingdom before, and even sent people to contact the Amrley Chamber of Commerce in private, but it has been refused, making the Sark Kingdom almost completely dead.

This time, the Lampari Kingdom suddenly declared war on the Kingdom of Sark, which made some people in the Kingdom of Sark who were concerned about the road completely cut off hope in this regard.

The relationship between the two sides has reached such a point, how can the Lampari Kingdom allow the Amritra Chamber of Commerce to help the Kingdom of Sark build roads?

However, no one expected that the attitude of the Lampari Kingdom would change 180 degrees.

After proposing an armistice to the Sark Kingdom, the Lampari Kingdom not only offered to re-establish the free trade zone, but even loosened it in many other ways.

Building roads is one of them.

This time, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was not nominally affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce of the Lampari Kingdom, it led the Lampari Kingdom Caravan as a representative, and in the caravan that followed, there were actually representatives of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce.

After mentioning the construction of the highway to Director Erwin, Xu Yi waved behind him, and President Cruise, who had been looking at him, walked over with a smile.

"Director Erwin, this is President Cruise of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce. Cruise, this is the director of the Sark Kingdom Commercial Agency Erwin. Xu Yi made an introduction to the two.

President Cruise smiled and stretched out his hand, and as soon as he reached halfway, Director Erwin grabbed it and said with some excitement: "President Cruise, it's a pleasure to meet you, we in the Kingdom of Sark have been looking forward to the arrival of you and the Amrley Chamber of Commerce for a long time. ”

President Cruise laughed, "Director Elwin, you're so polite. In fact, why didn't we want to come here a long time ago? In the highway transportation network map planned by our Chamber of Commerce, the Kingdom of Sark has always been missing, but it really makes me feel uneasy all the time. ”

Director Erwin chuckled dryly and shook President Crews' hand even harder.

"In that case, let's fill this gap together this time, what do you think?"

"Of course. I'm here to fill it in!" replied President Crews with pride in his heart.

Xu Yi smiled, turned his head to look at the few people behind Director Erwin, and asked in a loud voice, "May I ask which one is Mayor Puyol?"

Mayor Puyol, who had been smiling on the sidelines, walked out with a flattered look.

"President Xu, what are your instructions?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "I can't talk about it." But Mayor Puyol, since the caravan has arrived, let's not waste any more time and get started. ”

Mayor Puyol cast an inquiring glance at Director Erwin.

Director Erwin's face turned pale: "Look at what I do, do what I have to do, and listen to President Xu's orders." After saying that, he turned to Xu Yi again, and suddenly changed to a kind smile. "President Xu, please. ”

Xu Yi shook his head: "Director Erwin, you are mistaken, I am not the protagonist this time, they are the protagonists." ”

Looking at Xu Yi pointing to the Lampari Kingdom caravan behind him, Director Erwin was stunned, and then slapped his forehead, making a look of sudden realization.

"Yes, yes, look at my memory. That...... President Crews, let's go and bring in the Chamber of Commerce representatives who are with you. ”

President Cruise glanced at Xu Yiyi, and when he saw him nod slightly, he smiled and walked with Director Erwin towards the caravan behind.

According to the plan made by the Lampari Kingdom and the Sark Kingdom before, today the Lampari Kingdom sends such a huge caravan into the Sark Kingdom, which means the reopening of the free trade zone between the two countries.

Although Xu Yi is the most important chamber of commerce representative in this caravan, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not a chamber of commerce affiliated with the Lampari Kingdom after all, but it is impossible to really represent the Lampari Kingdom to participate in the next highly symbolic and political reopening ceremony of the free trade zone.

His visit to the Kingdom of Sark this time is actually more of a gesture, representing that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will officially cooperate with the Kingdom of Sark, and indirectly shows the sincerity of the Kingdom of Lampari to cooperate with the Kingdom of Sark this time.

So in the next series of ceremonies, although Xu Yi always meant to be a bystander, in fact, both Director Erwin and Mayor Puyol would focus on him whenever they had any free time.

In the final analysis, the new flying chamber of commerce is the real protagonist of this cooperation.

It's just that the most valued place of this protagonist in the Sark Kingdom is not reflected here.

After the solemn ceremony, the caravans of the Lampari Kingdom moved their goods into the shops in the free trade zone that had been prepared for a long time in the town of Taklin.

Many of these caravans were chambers of commerce that had a base in the small town of Taklin before, and many of them had never been here before, but this time because of the reopening of the free trade zone between the two countries and the expansion of free trade, they also followed.

For the sake of these new chambers of commerce, the Kingdom of Sark and the small town of Tackerin built a large number of new shops, more than doubling the size of the buildings in the free trade zone.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also acquired a larger shop in it, and intends to use it as the first store of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Sark.

Of course, what this specialty store sells is just magic machines in various household fields of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

As for the military magic machinery that the Kingdom of Sark is most concerned about...... How can it be sold in public?

After attending the ceremony, Xu Yi did not go with everyone to the grand luncheon prepared by Mayor Puyol, but quietly followed a middle-aged man who came with Mayor Erwin to Mayor Puyol's private estate outside the town.

As soon as he walked into the manor hall, Xu Yi felt a murderous aura like a substance coming towards him. (To be continued......)
