Chapter 68: Municipal Renewal of Bunta City
Xu also deduced the various reactions of the Candela Empire, and even prepared for the Candela Empire to be offended by his dignity as one of the two major empires in the Sainz Continent, so he was angry and completely blocked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, the reaction of the Candela Empire to this matter was still beyond his expectations.
The reaction of the Candela Empire...... It's just that there's no reaction at all.
Yes, Xu Yi took a magic airship all the way from the United Kingdom of Nozdorm to the Duchy of Stantin, and on the way, he took a turn to Thundering Island and a short stop in the Duchy of Mirando, and the whole journey took half a month.
However, when he returned to the Duchy of Stantin, he did not receive any reaction from the Candela Empire to the conflict between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet and the Third Fleet of the Candela Empire.
Even after he waited patiently for another half a month, the Candela Empire still didn't release any information about this matter, as if this incident had never happened at all.
Xu was also very strange about this.
As one of the two major empires in the Sainz Continent, the Candela Empire is an unattainable behemoth in the minds of everyone on the Sainz Continent, but now it is provoked by the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it can even be said to be teased, and it actually did not make any reaction?
Could it be that the Candela Imperial Navy actually admitted it this time?
Xu Yi never believed that the Candela Empire would swallow its anger, so there were obviously other reasons behind it that prevented the Candela Empire's reaction.
However, this is actually not a problem that bothers Xu Yi too much, he just needs to attract the attention of the Candela Empire at the moment, and he has no plans to do more.
Ultimately. Now is not the right time.
It is imperative to open up the market of the Candela Empire. But at the same time. The foundation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in several neighboring countries needs to be further strengthened.
###
Entering August, whether it is the perennially warm and humid Duchy of Stantin, or the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Luxon and several small surrounding countries, all of them have entered the hottest stage of the year.
At noon, even if you just walk down the street and be exposed to the sun for a while, you will sweat profusely.
So at this time, the vast majority of people are hiding at home. Enjoy the cool breeze brought by the magic fan or magic air conditioner, take a nap comfortably, and don't go out if you can.
However, at noon today, Count Revere, the most distinguished lord of Bonta City, had to stand in the hottest sun, endure the heat of his whole body, and concentrate on the construction site in front of him.
Watching a group of workers under the command of two magical mechanical engineers wearing the uniforms of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce set up the large magic water pump that Bonta City had purchased from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce for 1,300 gold coins next to the cistern, Count Revere nodded lightly and looked at Heinze, the vice president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce next to him.
"Hey. Vice President Heinze, follow this progress. This year, we people in Bangta City should be able to use running water, right?"
Heinze smiled and nodded, "Yes, Lord Castle." If nothing else, as long as you get ahead of the project, I think the people of Bonta City will have access to clean running water before the first snow falls. ”
"Good. Count Revere nodded appreciatively. "If this automatic water supply system can be successfully completed, it will greatly improve the living standards of the people in our Bontha City. At least in the coldest part of winter, people don't have to go through the trouble of fetching water from wells, let alone going far to the Sandy River to get water. ”
"Yes, an automatic water supply system can completely solve people's water problems. And the water provided by the automatic water supply system is purified by the magic of the elves, and the water is extremely clean, far better than the water in the direct drinking water well and the Sandy River. Heinze continued.
"After we introduced the automatic water supply system in the Principality of Stantin, the incidence of disease among the people of the Principality of Constantine has been reduced very significantly. In line with the emergency medical system that we have popularized in the Principality of Stantin, the mortality rate of the people of the Principality of Stanting due to sudden illnesses and other causes has also been greatly reduced. ”
Earl Revere nodded slowly, suddenly glanced at Heinze again, and said with emotion: "If only your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce hadn't left Bonta City. Then I think that the first people to enjoy these conveniences now should be the people of Bangta City. ”
Heinze smiled and didn't answer.
The main reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce left Bonta City was of course because of the persecution of the Stark family and had to withdraw from Bonta City and even the entire Lampari Kingdom.
But if you investigate the underlying reason, it is actually Xu Yi who has long planned to do so, and took this opportunity to completely evacuate the Lampari Kingdom.
In Xu Yi's heart, he didn't want the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be hindered in various ways, especially those that had nothing to do with business, such as the Stark family.
The evacuation of the Lampari Kingdom has certainly caused the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to suffer a lot of losses, but now in the Principality of Stanting, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can almost control the entire Principality of Stanting behind the scenes, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can often sneak at will according to Xu Yi's concept, without worrying about unnecessary obstacles.
When Count Revere said this, he obviously implied the hope that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would return to the Lampari Kingdom, but Heinze knew very well that Xu Yi would never agree.
Seeing the expression on Heinze's face, Count Revere sighed softly, did not continue to dwell on this issue, paused, and continued to ask Heinze about this automatic water supply system.
Bang Ta City has introduced an automatic water supply system from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time to improve the drinking water environment of Bang Ta City, which is a very important attempt for Bang Ta City and for the entire Lampari Kingdom, which has attracted the attention of almost everyone in Lampari Kingdom.
The vast majority of people in the Lampari Kingdom have only heard of the automatic water supply system set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Stantin, but very few have actually experienced it.
The Earl of Revere, after personally visiting the Duchy of Stantin, came back and made a report to submit to the Lamari Kingdom Council. It was soon approved by the Royal Assembly.
And the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was originally the driving force behind the initiative to promote this matter. Naturally, the table is very positive. Extremely efficient.
It only took half a month to complete more than half of the first water supply tower project in Bangta City.
Now, as long as this large magic water pump is erected, according to the number given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will be enough to provide five thousand people to use at the same time.
Of course, this is only the first phase of the project.
According to the agreement signed between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and Bang Ta City, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will build a dam northwest of Bang Ta City, upstream of the Sandy River, in order to complete the automatic water supply system for the entire Bang Ta City. The dam created a reservoir for the purpose of attacking the automatic water of the city of Bonta.
Later works on the automatic water supply system followed, and it is expected that at least 20 identical water towers will be built outside the city of Bangta.
It is not only to provide water for the daily life of the residents of Bang Ta City, but also to radiate to the entire small towns and villages outside Bang Ta City in the future, and strive to let all the people of Bang Ta City enjoy the convenience of automatic water supply.
In addition, under Xu Yi's construction, Count Revere also planned to redo the drainage system of the entire city of Bonta, so as to achieve what Xu Yi said, not a single trace of sewage can be seen as far as the eye can see.
This is a much larger project than an automatic water supply system.
According to the estimation of the relevant staff of the City Lord's Office, it will take at least five years for Bangta City to solve this problem.
As for the total investment of the two projects. It is expected to be as high as at least 3 million gold coins.
If it was the former Bangta City, it would naturally not be able to afford such a huge investment. But for the current Bang Ta City, this is not a completely unbearable financial burden.
According to the statistics of the City Lord's Mansion last year, Bang Ta City received a huge tax revenue totaling more than 3 million gold coins from various taxes last year.
Even if you put aside the part handed over to the kingdom's treasury and remove the daily consumption, you can still save 1.2 million gold coins.
With such a large financial situation, it is no wonder that Earl Revere was able to complete such two huge projects that required great investment.
For Count Revere, these two projects, if completed, would add an important step to his political achievements and help him take an important step towards becoming the highest figure in the entire kingdom.
And for the entire Lampari Kingdom, Bonta City is a very good pilot.
If these two projects had shown themselves to be of considerable good effect in the city of Bonta, Her Majesty Queen Sevigny had told the Count of Revere that she would extend the measure throughout the kingdom.
Last year, the annual revenue of the Lampari Kingdom even exceeded a staggering 7 million gold coins, which gave Her Majesty Queen Sevini plenty of confidence.
Because the completion of the automatic water supply system and the re-erection of the water supply pipes required a large number of different specifications of steel pipes, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Irish United Chamber of Commerce, under the instruction of the Bonta City Lord's Office, built a steel pipe processing plant outside the city of Bonta, specializing in the supply of various metal pipes.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Bang Ta City will purchase various types of steel pipes from this steel pipe processing plant in the form of market procurement, but enjoy certain discounts.
In this cooperation project, the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland unexpectedly occupies a core position, because for the research and specific manufacturing of various specifications of steel pipes, the current United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland has a strong ability, even not slightly worse than the new flying Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking that when this cooperation project was discussed, it was because the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland had steel pipe manufacturing technology that was not weaker than that of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so he had a slightly tough attitude towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Earl Revere couldn't help but look at Heinze more.
The emergence and growth of the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland are inseparable from the strong support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
When Xu Yi made this decision, did he think that one day because of this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not be able to obtain greater benefits from Bangta City......?
