Magic Industry Empire - 535. Chapter 535

A medium-sized cargo magic locomotive quickly ran on the black rice wasteland.

The road running under the tires is the latest investment and construction of the new technology of the Amli Chamber of Commerce. The road is not only more than ten meters wide, it is enough to accommodate four large freight magic locomotives running side by side, and is more than The roads used to be flatter.

Even if you drove on it at a speed close to 50 kilometers per hour, you would still only feel a slight bump, and there would be no discomfort at all.

In fact, this speed has exceeded the speed rating of the medium-sized cargo magic locomotive by the New Flying Business, but for old drivers like Sakchi, speeding is basically commonplace.

If it weren’t for this medium-sized cargo magic locomotive’s limit speed of only 50 kilometers per hour, he would definitely run faster.

Papa Sakchi put one hand on the steering wheel, while the other hand grabbed a bottle of fresh juice at hand and poured it in one mouthful.

It was early winter now, and the bottle of fresh juice was left for a long time. It was naturally a bit cold. After taking a sip, Daddy Sakchi shivered involuntarily.

Driving for too long makes it easy to get tired. Drinking a sip of cold fresh juice can not only stimulate the spirit, but also supplement some nutrition. This is what Dad Sakchi often does when transporting goods.

The fresh juice can was just put down, and Father Batlu, who was lying in the back of the cab, woke up, yawned, got up to look outside, and asked Father Sakchi, “Where is it?”

“Just went to the Black Rice Wasteland.” Father Sakchi replied casually.

Father Batlu observed the environment outside the car and nodded: “Well, it’s okay. Okay, let me change it. You have been driving for several hours.”

“It’s okay.” Father Sakchi vetoed it. “I’ll be at the base of the Black Rice Wasteland in a while. When you come out from there, you can change people. You can wake up for a while.”

Father Batrou thought for a while, but didn’t insist at home, arched his body from the back to the passenger seat, and sat down.

After looking outside in a muffled voice, Father Batru suddenly asked, “Hey, Sakchi, are you really planning to move?”

Father Sakchi didn’t expect that he would ask this question as soon as he woke up. After a moment of stunned, he nodded and gave a hmm.

“This time I will take a good look at the environment in the Principality of Stantin, and then decide if I really want to move there. But I heard from the village guys who have lived in the Principality of Stantin for more than a year. It’s really nice, and the climate is good, they all live very comfortably. So I think…mostly they will choose to move.”

Father Batru frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at Father Sakchi’s expression to confirm that he was not joking at all.

“This…your family has lived in Mexilan Village for more than a hundred years, right? You really want to move? Why are you willing?”

Father Sakchi sneered nonchalantly: “What’s the reluctance of this? Where is not to live? After all, where you can have a good life, you will naturally choose where. Now Bangta City is made by those chambers of commerce. Smoky, if you continue to stay there, there must be no good fruit to eat.”

“It’s not like…” Father Batlu retorted, “Although those chambers of commerce are not as good as the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, they are only a few chambers of commerce after all. Can they turn Bangta City over? ”

“You don’t believe it?” Father Sakchi snorted coldly. “Those guys can even drive away the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, what else can’t be done? Even if we don’t talk about this, just talk about our family. Now the three boys in my family have lost their previous jobs and want to work in the country. If you are looking for a job in Tacheng, you can only go to those chambers of commerce. But do you know how much they pay? Six gold coins a month! Not as good as half of their previous monthly salary!”

Father Batlu muffled: “Six gold coins are not bad. Before, we didn’t make much money in a month and we still survived.”

“It used to be before. Anyway, let me live the days when I couldn’t even eat enough.” Old Sakchi snorted coldly, “The three boys in our family won’t do it anyway. , So we discussed it and decided to move. As long as you work under the New Flying Merchants Association, you can earn nearly 20 gold coins for a month, which is not much better than staying in Bangta City.”

“That’s what I said, but Sakchi, have you ever thought about a problem?” Father Batrou asked again. “According to the latest regulations of the City Lord’s Mansion, those who move out of Bangta City without authorization will automatically be regarded as giving up their status as Bangta City citizens. In other words, it is easy for you to move out, but it is difficult for you to move back. And I am worried… …The Kingdom Council might issue a similar rule in the future. What if the Kingdom is not recognized as a citizen of the Kingdom after moving away?”

“If you don’t admit it, don’t admit it.” Father Sakchi was still indifferent, and he had obviously thought about this issue a long time ago. “I just said that where you can live well, where you can go, it has nothing to do with Bangta City or the Kingdom of Lampari.”

“But we are from Lampari after all, so we just left… Are you really willing?”

“Why reluctant? Now this bullshit king is tossing around and doesn’t treat us civilians as human beings. Why are we so reluctant? For civilians like us, don’t think about major national events. Anyway, those big men have never treated us. In the eyes.” Father Sakchi said with a disdainful expression.

Father Batru was silent for a moment, and couldn’t help smiling bitterly.

Although he always felt that Old Sarkozy’s attitude was wrong, he couldn’t find any reason to refute him.

Because what Father Sakchi said is the truth.

After the new King Eric ascended to the throne, the entire Kingdom of Lampari and Bangta City were changed.

The originally thriving and prosperous Bangta City is now a plaything in the hands of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration.

In addition to driving away the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and squeezing out other chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery, and occupying the magic industry in Bangta City, the ten chambers of commerce have now reached out to other areas and gradually want to erode the old brands in Bangta City. Chambers of commerce in the market.

Although the old-brand chambers of commerce are still fighting desperately with their own heritage, they have become more and more struggling and gradually began to show signs of collapse.

If it’s just normal business competition, it doesn’t have any direct relationship with ordinary civilians like Sakchi and Batlu. Maybe it will benefit from the competition between chambers of commerce.

But the problem is that after those ten chambers of commerce control what areas, they also deeply affected the lives of ordinary civilians.

For example, what Old Sakchi said earlier, the ten chambers of commerce now master the magic industry in Bangta City, but they have suddenly suppressed the average salary of the industry that creates the most job opportunities to a very low standard, making Bangta City. All the civilians who had previously engaged in this industry were unacceptable.

Let’s take another example of the cargo transportation they are currently engaged in. If they transported a cargo from Bangta City to Anvimar City, the round-trip shipping cost would be 30 gold coins. Regardless of the consumption on the way, they could earn about ten more. gold.

At the most a month, they can even run more than ten times and earn close to two hundred gold coins.

Divide them evenly, and each person gets close to one hundred gold coins. Even in the previous Bangta city, it can be regarded as a high income.

However, these ten chambers of commerce now control the commercial transportation of Bangta City and suppress the freight. If they transport the goods to Anweimar City, the freight for one round trip will only give fifteen gold coins, which is only half of the previous one!

Such a low shipping cost, if you put aside the consumption on the way, you can only earn a few gold coins at most.

If something goes wrong on the way, you might lose everything, or even lose money.

So after two trips like this, Mr. Sakchi decisively stopped taking the freight business of the ten chambers of commerce, but re-contacted the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to help the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Black Rice Wasteland, the Duchy of Stanting and Bangta City. Various transportation between.

Although it is a lot more tired than before because of the long distance, the freight rates given by the New Flying Business Association have always been kind, and their profits are only slightly lower than before, but they are not much worse.

There are many private cargoes like them in Bangta City. At present, except for some of them, they can’t stop. Most of the others choose to continue cooperating with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce just like them.

And because of the deliberate suppression of the ten chambers of commerce, the Philson Carriage, which originally occupied most of the cargo and passenger transportation business in Bangta City, is now struggling, and it is said that it is about to be unable to continue.

The last time Papa Batru accidentally met President Pompéry in Bonta, he saw his face full of gloom, and even his extremely fat body was obviously thinner.

Thinking of the sad look on President Pompéry’s face at the time, Father Batru suddenly felt that Sakchi was actually right.

Since you are going to be unable to survive in Bangta City, why bother to stay on.

For the great figures of the kingdom, the life and death of their civilians from the bottom has never been taken into consideration by them.

Since they don’t care about themselves, why should they care about them?

After figuring this out, Father Batlu only felt that his eyes suddenly became bright, and the whole person was refreshed a lot.

After thinking for a while, he said to Father Sakchi: “Well, this time I also took the opportunity to observe the environment in the Duchy of Stantin, I hope there is as good as those people say.”

Seeing Papa Batlu finally changed his mind, Papa Sakchi burst into laughter.

“Don’t worry, that place is definitely better than you think.”

Father Batru nodded slightly, expecting a little more in his heart for this trip.
