Chapter 60: A Territory That Truly Belongs to One's Own
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Xu Yi almost choked to death with his own saliva.
Originally, he just wanted to negotiate the price with Lord Weilun, and if he could flicker a little higher, it would be a little higher, anyway, the magic armored transporter could only be produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as Lord Weilun really needed it, no matter what price Xu Yi offered, he could only pinch his nose and accept it.
But Xu Yi never thought that at most, he only hoped to get some practical benefits from Lord Weilun, such as mining resources, renting more land, or extending the land lease period, or making adjustments in the recruitment of local workers, etc., but as soon as Lord Weilun opened his mouth, he actually claimed to give him a piece of territory!
Xu Yi looked at Lord Weilun blankly for a moment, and then his eyes widened and asked, "Wait, Lord Lord, what are you talking about?
"That's what it means, what else can it mean?" replied Lord Velon, with a look of course. "Didn't you often tell me before that if you could own a piece of territory that was entirely your own, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not be driven around? ”
"Is this okay?" Xu Yi was stunned. "Give it to me from your territory as my personal domain, I'm afraid the Grand Duke of Stanting won't agree, right?"
"As long as I agree. As for the Grand Duke, he disagreed...... President Xu, how can you get the Grand Duke to agree, I shouldn't need to teach you this, right?" Lord Weilun's expression was ** authentic.
Xu Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Of course, he knew the way to get Grand Duke Stantin to agree, and that was the only way that had been tried and tested before—throwing money.
Xu also thought about it for a while. Set your mind. He asked Lord Velon, "Okay. My lord, are you really going to do this? How much land are you going to give me? Too little, that's not enough. ”
Lord Wei Lun pointed to the training base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Team in front of him, and said with a smile: "How about giving you this piece? Didn't you just say that outsiders can't enter this place casually? As long as this place becomes your private territory, you can say this sentence with confidence." ”
Seeing Xu Yi frowning, Lord Weilun laughed: "Just kidding, President Xu, don't mind." Don't worry, I've decided to do it. Of course, it can't be so stingy. In this way, President Xu, how do you think of the 200,000 hectares of land that your Chamber of Commerce has leased from me?"
Xu Yi's eyes lit up suddenly, but after thinking about it, he shook his head at Lord Weilun: "Lord Lord, you are too stingy, aren't you? It's only 200,000 hectares, which is far from enough." ”
Lord Weilun's face was a little uncertain: "President Xu, don't be too greedy. You should be well aware of how important this kind of thing is to be a territory. How determined I am to decide to give you a piece. ”
"Of course I understand this, but 200,000 hectares is barely enough for our current development plan. Of course, our chamber of commerce will still develop in the future, so it is good to have a little more space. Are you right, my lord?"
"The territory is fixed, give you one more, I'll give you one less, do you think I can give you more casually?"
"It's very simple, as long as you go and get more territories from other places, right? Of course, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely try our best to give your support to your lordship. ”
"That's right...... It's not impossible, but ......"
......
Xu Yi and Lord Weilun had a fierce bargain, and finally the two sides reached an agreement that was bounded by a river not far from the outside of Xinfei's farm that eventually flowed into the Endless Sea, and the area where the river reached the sea belonged to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
According to the map that Xu Yi had previously let Evita explore with Guò Magic Airship, the total area of this land is about 240,000 hectares.
After negotiating the size of the territory to be transferred, the next step is to set the price.
The Lion of the Lord of Weilun opened his mouth wide and priced the land for 10 million gold coins.
Although Xu Yi knew that this price was actually very, very low strictly speaking, and if it was on earth, it would be almost a free gift, but he still bargained desperately, and finally reduced the price to eight million gold coins.
With such a huge transaction amount, it is naturally impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to pay it off directly with gold coins at once, and Lord Weilun is not here for gold coins.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must successively supply Lord Weilun with one hundred magic armored transporters, one thousand magic repeaters, five large magic trebuchets, and three thousand sets of individual military magic machinery.
In addition to the military requirements, Lord Weilun also asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to help him build three fruit canning factories and five household magic machinery factories in his territory, and transfer the corresponding production technology.
When you do the math, these things are actually worth less than five million gold coins combined.
The reason why Lord Weilun finally agreed was actually based on the condition that Xu Yi took the initiative to send the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team to reinforce him if necessary.
Although the combat power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort Team was not witnessed by Lord Weilun, it could be seen from the large number of elven warriors, dwarf warriors, and every human warrior who looked extremely fierce that their combat power must be very terrifying.
Moreover, according to the news from the Black Rice Wasteland, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team still has an absolute advantage when fighting against the most ferocious orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland.
So far, I haven't heard that any of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have been killed, not even seriously injured.
If the escort team with such terrifying combat power can be reinforced at any time, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the confidence of Lord Weilun.
Immediately after the two sides agreed, an agreement was initialled.
According to the agreement, as long as Xu Yi can settle the Grand Duke of Stanting and obtain the lord certification of the Grand Duke of Stantin, then this agreement will automatically take effect.
After sending off Lord Weilun, Xu Yi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and laughed out loud.
When I was in the kingdom of Lampari before. Although he also gained nobility for a time. and received a piece of private territory.
But this private territory is small, not to mention. He was still under the control of the Lampari Kingdom at all times, and it was not really his personal domain.
Later, the internal situation of the Lampari Kingdom changed, and he directly announced that he had renounced his nobility, and at the same time gave up that private domain.
Because he knew very well that even if he did not give it up voluntarily, the Council of Nobles would definitely strip him of his nobility and take back his private domain, as Lampari XIII did when he was still alive.
So strictly speaking. A private territory within the Lampari Kingdom is not really a territory that belongs entirely to him.
At the end of the day, with the strength he and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have, it is not possible to have a real private territory in the Lampari Kingdom.
And in the Duchy of Stantin, this condition is completely there.
The state power of the Duchy of Stanting is very weak, and the private strife of the local lords, the Grand Duke of Stanting has no intention of managing at all, and is unable to manage it.
If Lord Veron defeats Count Fran, then he can gain Earl Fran's domain.
And like now, Lord Weilun transferred a piece of his own territory to Xu Yi. It is simply impossible in the Lampari Kingdom, but it is absolutely possible in the Duchy of Stanting.
Xu also has a great deal of confidence in getting the Grand Duke of Stanting. Gain official recognition from the Duchy of Stantin and become a lord of the Duchy of Stantin.
And if this qiē is done, it means that Xu Yi has a private territory completely owned by himself for the first time in the true sense.
Although this territory is only about 240,000 hectares, which is more than 2,000 square kilometers, it is already a territory that cannot be regarded as a small one.
And in this territory, Xu can also be completely controlled, and does not need to pay attention to the opinions of anyone else.
The only prerequisite needed was that he had enough strength to hold the territory.
Xu Yi did not have this confidence in the Kingdom of Lampari, but in the Duchy of Stantin, Xu Yi felt that there was no problem.
The more than 10,000 personal guards under the name of Lord Weilun are already quite impressive in the Duchy of Stantin, and after equipping the military magic machinery provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they can defeat Count Fran, who is comparable to him.
Although the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only more than a thousand people, its combat effectiveness is definitely not inferior to that of Lord Weilun's stragglers, and it is even very likely to be far surpassed.
With such a force, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may not be qualified to participate in the battle for lords within the Duchy of Stantin for the time being, but it is no problem to hold this territory.
After turning around and looking at the surrounding scenery, Xu Yi found that his mentality had completely changed.
When he was here, he only saw himself as a passerby, and it didn't give him any sense of home.
And now after signing this agreement with Lord Weilun, he immediately regarded this place as his private property, and suddenly felt that his eyes were full of warmth.
After looking greedily for a while, Xu Yi took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, paused, and re-entered the escort training base.
At this time, the returning guards had already disembarked from the magic armored transporter, and under Hart's command, they formed a neat phalanx on the playground.
Although there were many elven warriors and dwarven warriors among them, they did not hesitate to carry out Hart's orders without hesitation.
After nearly a year of fighting, the guards of different races in the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have developed a deep friendship with each other, and the estrangement of the previous one is long gone.
Now, even the arrogant elven warriors are just as willing to obey the command of Hart, the captain of the human guard.
Seeing the resolute faces of the guards, Xu Yi smiled and nodded, and gave a short speech to everyone, praising their contributions during this time, and then announcing their disbandment.
After the guards dispersed, Hart walked up to Xu Yi with a strange expression, first saluted Xu Yi, and then handed Xu Yi a backpack.
Xu Yi was stunned and took it: "Did you bring me a gift back?"
Hart shook his head: "No, these are orders I received. (To be continued......)
