Xu Yi didn't faint with joy, but he almost jumped with joy.

Owning a piece of private territory, a dream he'd had since he crossed into this world.

The more he knew about the social formation of Sainz, the more he realized the importance of owning a private domain.

And when he started the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, especially after being driven out of the Stark family's territory in Bonta City by Baron Billier in a near-expulsion manner, he became even more eager to own a private domain.

The benefits of owning a private territory are innumerable, in addition to not being driven away by others at will, Xu Yi can also make any changes to the territory at will according to his own wishes, and no one will dare to point fingers, because this is the prerogative of his lord.

In addition, the most important point for Xu Yi is that after owning a private territory, Xu Yi can safely and boldly set up this territory as the base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and make long-term plans based on it, without worrying about passively adapting due to inexplicable factors.

To put it simply, in this territory, Xu Yi himself is the king, he can do whatever he wants, and others are not qualified to interfere at all.

So when he heard that Sevini actually said that he would give him a piece of private territory, Xu Yi immediately screamed excitedly, waved his fist vigorously, and hurriedly asked Sevigny: "Then where is this territory? It's best not to be too far away from Bonta City, and it's better not to be too small, at least let me put down a few factory workshops, right?"

In the past, when Xu Yi only used an honorific title for Sevigny, it meant that he had actually begun to be a little dissatisfied in his heart. Intended to make comments. But this time. But it was obvious that he was too happy and couldn't help but use the honorific title.

Sevini looked at Xu Yi's flattering dog-legged appearance, and immediately couldn't help laughing, pursed his lips and laughed for a while, before blinking his eyes and saying, "Your Excellency Viscount Xu Yi, if you are asked to choose your own territory, where do you want to choose?

Xu Yi replied without hesitation: "Of course, it's the Falling Rain Valley." As for the size, it would be better if you could give me the whole Falling Rain Valley. But I know. The idea was too extravagant, so ......"

"No, the idea is not extravagant. Sevini interrupted Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was stunned: "No, ......right? Don't...... Are you really going to give me the Falling Rain Valley?"

Sevini smiled and nodded, "That's right. After consulting with my father, I obtained for you from the Council of Nobles the Rainfall Valley as your private domain, and enlarged the area to a total of twenty square kilometers. How's it going, are you happy with this territory?"

"Satisfied! so satisfied!" Xu Yi immediately laughed, looking left and right excitedly, as if he didn't know how to express his inner feelings, and then suddenly rushed up and hugged Sevigny. While patting Sevigny on the back, he exclaimed, "Your Royal Highness, thank you so much! I'm a big fan of yours!"

Sevini was taken aback by Xu Yi's sudden move, feeling the strength on Xu Yi's arm and the breath coming from his body, he couldn't help but blush.

In fact, this is the first time she has had such intimate contact with a man other than her father when she is so old, even if it is two brothers, she has never hugged each other, and now she is suddenly hugged by Xu Yi so warmly, which makes her very uncomfortable, but surprisingly she does not have any disgust, but feels very comfortable and reassuring.

This feeling can only be felt when her father hugged her when she was a child, but now it has not been felt for a long time.

In the end, Xu Yi suddenly reacted, quickly let go of his hand, took two steps back, and explained to Sevigny with an embarrassed face: "This ...... Her Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I'm so happy for a while, I can't help it...... I didn't mean to......"

The blush on Sevigny's face slowly receded, he slowly shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I understand the excitement in your heart, after all, our Lampari Kingdom has not given a fiefdom to nobles for a long time. But Xu Yi, I thought you would always be extremely calm and rational, but I didn't expect that there would be times when you were excited like this. ”

Xu Yi laughed: "This can't be helped, everyone has this kind of time, and I will definitely be no exception, there will always be times when the excitement is irrepressible." ”

Sevini suddenly sighed faintly: "It seems that you usually only show your true side when you are with Miss Steele, and it is difficult for others to see it." ”

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to see it, then just get along with me like Steele." ”

As soon as the words fell, Sevigny's pretty face turned red again, and Xu Yi was stunned for a moment and then reacted instantly.

This sentence is too much, and it can even be called molesting.

The problem is that at this time, it is too deliberate to explain, so for a while both of them fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, Xu Yi coughed lightly and asked Sevigny, "That...... Your Royal Highness, why hasn't the Lampari Kingdom given a fief to the nobles for hundreds of years, but now the Noble Council agrees to give me a fiefdom?

"Special treatment for you, of course, also special requirements for you. The flush on Seviny's face slowly subsided, and he said to Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, my father and I hope that you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can increase their research on military magic machinery. Although the Kingdom Zhenbei Army has now gained the upper hand in the battle between the northern border and the Sark Kingdom, it is still far from truly defeating the Sark Kingdom. In order to permanently solve the problems on the northern border, Father wants you to research more and better military magic machines to help defeat the Kingdom of Sark. ”

Xu Yi was silent for a long time, and then sighed softly: "Your Royal Highness, although I understand the thoughts of His Majesty the King and you, please allow me to tell the truth, although war is a competition on the surface for the ability and equipment of soldiers on both sides, or war equipment, but in fact, the real competition is the economic conditions of both sides. Don't you think that the kingdom spends a lot of money every year on the northern frontier alone?"

"Of course I understand. But this is something that cannot be helped, and the disputes and hatred between the Sark Kingdom and our Lampari Kingdom have not subsided since the day the Lampari Kingdom was established. If we don't fight, we will only be destroyed by the Kingdom of Sark. Severny said helplessly.

"I don't think it's wrong to fight against the Kingdom of Sark, but I want to say that another very important factor in determining the war is money. For example, the Magic Trebuchet is very useful, but it costs a thousand gold to buy a Magic Trebuchet Army. With the current situation of the military department, how many units can be purchased?" Xu Yi asked again.

Sevini glanced at Xu Yi with a rather resentful look: "It's not because your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is pricing too high. ”

Xu Yi immediately shouted: "Your Royal Highness, it's not that our price is high, but that the cost of this thing is ridiculously high. If nothing else, the steel needed to produce a magic trebuchet alone is worth hundreds of gold coins, not to mention the cost of other materials, labor, research and development, etc. Sell it to the military department's magic trebuchet, and our Chamber of Commerce will almost lose money!"

"It's strange to believe you. Sevini gave Xu Yi a blank look. "Although it may not be possible to make too much, but if you want to say that you are losing money, I don't believe it. ”

Xu Yi smiled: "Okay, even if it's not a loss." But we're a chamber of commerce after all, so we have to make a little bit of money. ”

Sevini shook his head helplessly: "Anyway, you are right, the military department and the kingdom really can't afford too high military expenses, so this time my father and I have won this territory for you, just hoping that you can contribute your own strength to the kingdom again." ”

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people. Since I have gained such a great benefit, I should pay the corresponding reward. Xu Yi nodded. "But Your Royal Highness, I still have the same question just now, even if our Chamber of Commerce can develop a series of military magic machines, do you think the military department will have the money to buy them? If our Chamber of Commerce bears all of them, then we will definitely not be able to afford it." Therefore, in the end, if we want to solve this problem, we still need to vigorously develop the economy of the Lampari Kingdom and improve the financial strength of the kingdom. ”

"My father and I are very aware of these questions. Otherwise, why do you think Father would take such a big risk to put Bonta City to the test of those diehards, and why would we choose this time to give you such a territory?" asked Sevigny rhetorically.

Xu Yi thought for a while and nodded lightly: "Okay, I understand." It seems that His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness have pinned their hopes on me and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I said I was under a lot of pressure......"

"How much ability you have, how much responsibility and pressure you have, I remember you said to me before. Sevigny said. "Xu Yi, you have proven that you have the ability to change the city of Bonta, and my father and I believe that you also have the ability to change the entire kingdom of Lampari. It doesn't matter what the city wins. If Guò can silence the stubborn nobles in the kingdom this time, so that my father can spread his high-hopes magic industry to every part of the kingdom more easily, and make all the cities in the kingdom as prosperous as Bonta City, then it will be worth it even if Bonta City is destroyed. ”

"In other words, keep the spark of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked.

"Yes. Severny nodded. "Xu Yi, you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are the hope of the magic industry, that is, this spark. As long as you and the New Flying Chamber are saved, I believe that this spark will surely ignite an even bigger flame in the future, and then release a fire that will ignite the entire Lampari Kingdom. Do you have faith?"

"Who do you think I am?" Xu Yi smiled confidently. "I'm also pretty sure that this spark will definitely turn into an extremely strong industrial fire, which will not only ignite the entire Lampari Kingdom, but also sweep through the entire Sainz Continent!"
