Magic Industry Empire - 904. Chapter 904
After lunch, a delegation from the Ruelson Kingdom quietly came to the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
After the resettlement and reception, the delegation leader, Lord Borris, Speaker of the Kingdom Council of the Kingdom of Ruelson, and two deputy leaders were invited to Xu Yi’s private estate as guests.
“Chairman Xu, this is the first time I have come to the Duchy of Stantin. What I have seen along the way is that it is not as well-known as the meeting. It is far more amazing than the sight of my phenomenon.” As soon as I sat down, Duke Borris He smiled and complimented.
Xu Yi looked at the very polite Duke Borris with a smile full of laughter in his heart.
When he visited the Kingdom of Ruelson before, he met twice with this distinguished and respected duke in the Kingdom of Ruelson. But when he met twice, the Duke of Borris didn’t give him a good face. .
Now he not only took the initiative to lead this delegation to the Principality of Stantin, but even showed such a nearly flattering appearance to Xu Yi. The gap is really obvious.
The reason for such a significant change is of course related to the purpose of his visit this time.
Although the Ruelson Kingdom has continuously repelled the Candela Empire’s invasion and made other nations on the Sainz continent look up to the Ruelson Kingdom, this does not mean that the Ruelson Kingdom can beat Candela. empire.
Although the Candela Empire did not continue to organize the third invasion out of cautious considerations, the Candela Empire, which attached great importance to the Ruelson Kingdom, deployed heavy troops on the border between the two countries to guard against the dead and lead the Ruelson Kingdom to the Candela Empire. All passages in the direction are completely blocked.
At the same time, the Candela Empire also officially listed the Ruelson Kingdom as a hostile country, and called on other countries on the mainland to impose a unified blockade on the Ruelson Kingdom.
Because of the threat of the Candela Empire, in addition to being close to the Maro Empire and supporting several countries in the Maro Empire, the other countries close to the Ruelson Kingdom almost all agreed.
Even the Kingdom of Lampari, who had a good relationship with the Kingdom of Ruelson before and secretly helped the Kingdom of Ruelson in the previous invasion of the Candela Empire, did not object to this.
Of course, this is mainly because the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire have signed a mutual trade cooperation agreement. The Candela Empire now lists the Lampari Kingdom as an ally, so it is naturally impossible for the Lampari Kingdom to have a close relationship with the Rueryan Kingdom. .
The closest countries that supported the Marlow Empire and opposed the Candela Empire were also more than a thousand kilometers away from the Ruelson Kingdom, so the current Ruelson Kingdom was almost completely isolated.
The only exception is the Duchy of Stantin.
Regarding the blockade proposed by the Candela Empire against the Ruelson Kingdom, the Stantin Kingdom has never given a positive response. Instead, as before, it still trades with the Ruelson Kingdom. It seems that the Candela Empire’s warnings and threats have not been placed on In the eyes.
Now the Kingdom of Ruelson has come to the door on the initiative, of course, hoping to get some help from the Duchy of Stantin to help them deal with the blockade brought by the Candela Empire.
This is also the reason why the delegation’s specifications are so high that the head of the delegation is actually served by Lord Borris, the Speaker of the Kingdom Council of the Kingdom of Ruelson, and Lord Borris is so polite after seeing Xu Yi.
“Your honor, Lord Duke.” Xu Yi gestured with a smile. “I don’t know what the situation of the Ruelson Kingdom is now?”
Hearing this rhetorical question, the faces of Duke Boruis and the two deputy heads next to him became extremely ugly.
Duke Borris laughed and shook his head: “Not very good. President Xu, I think you should be very clear about the current situation. Because of the blockade of the Candela Empire, the situation in the kingdom has been affected very seriously recently. In the past few months, the Kingdom’s exports of goods have been almost zero, and many businessmen in the Kingdom have gone bankrupt as a result, and many have even committed suicide.”
“Yeah…” Count Gandall, one of the deputy heads and one of the deputy directors of the Ruelson Kingdom Commerce Department, sighed deeply. “The business tax in the kingdom has dropped by at least 60% in recent months. If this continues, the kingdom’s finances this year may be unimaginable. I am afraid that the various plans that were originally scheduled for next year will also be stranded because of this, which is very detrimental to the entire kingdom. ”
“Not only the business tax, but the people’s livelihood is actually the most affected. Although with the farmland magic machinery and chemical fertilizers, the grain production in the kingdom is guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about famine. But other than that, the kingdom is in urgent need. All materials have become severely scarce because of the blockade.”
The other deputy head is the head of the National Health Administration of King Ruelson, Earl Anke, and his concern is naturally different from that of the director of the Department of Commerce.
“At present, the most serious problem is medicines. Previously, most of the medicines in the Ruelson Kingdom depended on herbs imported from other countries to solve them. Now because of the blockade, many key herbs can no longer be purchased. The herbs are far from enough to solve the problem. And…”
Speaking of this, Earl Angke looked sad, and even a trace of tears leaked from his eyes.
“Last month there was a flood in the southeastern part of the kingdom. The disaster was severe and accompanied by the outbreak of the plague. When we left the kingdom, more than two hundred people had died from the plague. If the drug problem cannot be solved immediately, I am afraid that the dead will only increase. many……”
Both Duke Borris and Count Gandall had the same heavy faces and melancholy expressions, confirming the truth of Count Unk’s words.
Xu Yi was slightly startled.
Although he knew that the Ruelson Kingdom was now greatly affected by the blockade of the Candela Empire, he did not expect that it had reached such a serious point, which really surprised him.
“Chairman Xu…”
Duke Boris was about to speak, but Xu Yi raised his hand and interrupted him.
“I will arrange for the Chamber of Commerce transport fleet to deliver a ship of herbal medicine to your country as soon as possible. This is my assistance to the people in your country who are suffering from the plague.”
The three of Duke Borris were slightly startled, and then overjoyed.
Earl Angke held Xu Yi’s hand excitedly: “Really? Great! President Xu, if there are enough herbs, many people can be saved!”
Xu Yi sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that regardless of whether the three people in front of him were acting or not, the disaster they said could not be faked, because such things are not easy to conceal at all. As long as Xu Yi is willing to inquire, it will be very easy to get. Know.
In the face of such a serious disaster, it is obviously important to save people, and any other issues can be set aside.
Another thing that made him sigh was that although the Ruelson Kingdom was able to repel the Candela Empire on the frontal battlefield, the overall national strength was too far behind the Candela Empire, so that it is now targeted by the Candela Empire. After being completely blocked, the country even Even the basic people’s livelihood has major problems.
“This… President Xu… The kingdom is now having financial difficulties, so the cost of this ship of herbs… Well, I’m afraid it can’t be paid immediately. But don’t worry, use…” Count Gandar suddenly said in embarrassment.
Xu Yi shook his head: “I just said that this is an aid to the people of your country. It is free of charge and does not require any money from you. In addition, I will send some living supplies in the past to You can arrange for someone to keep it together at that time.”
The three of them looked at each other, and Duke Borris nodded and said sincerely: “Chairman Xu, the assistance provided by your New Flying Chamber of Commerce this time, our Ruelson Kingdom will always remember it, we…”
Xu Yi raised his hand again and interrupted him.
“My lord, two, I need to declare one thing. This free assistance will be carried out in my own name and has nothing to do with our new flying business association. I hope you understand.”
The three of them were all startled, their expressions becoming a little ugly.
The gratuitous assistance given in the name of Xu Yi’s personal name and the unpaid aid given in the name of the New Flying Business Association, the meaning expressed in them is far too different.
Before Xu Yi did not hesitate to show the assistance, they also thought that the purpose of this trip could be easily achieved.
Now Xu Yi suddenly came up with such a sentence, but it made them immediately understand that their task is still very arduous.
Thinking of this, Duke Boruis took a deep breath, his expression returned to calm, and after nodding to Count Gandall and Angke, he turned to Xu Yi, and said with a serious face: “Chairman Xu, this time we will be away from the kingdom. Since then, there are some very important things that I want to discuss with your chamber of commerce.”
Duke Borris deliberately emphasized the words “Your Chamber of Commerce”, the meaning of which was very clear.
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: “Please speak.”
Seeing that Xu also indicated that they could negotiate, the three Duke Borris breathed a sigh of relief.
“Chairman Xu, first of all, on behalf of our Ruelson Kingdom, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you for your free assistance just now.”
“This is nothing, it’s just something a normal person should do.”
Duke Borris nodded and continued: “But, President Xu, you now have a certain understanding of the situation in the kingdom. What I want to say is that it can only be solved by relying on your personal unpaid assistance alone. There is a temporary problem, but there is no way to solve all the problems fundamentally.”
“Of course. My power alone is limited after all.”
“But the power of your new flying chamber of commerce is far more than you alone.” Duke Borris looked directly into Xu Yi’s eyes and said in a deep voice.
“So your Ruelson Kingdom hopes to get assistance from our new flying business association?” Xu Yi smiled. “Master Duke, if you are not afraid of your jokes, after all, we are a chamber of commerce. We need to see if we can get enough benefits in everything we do. Of course it is okay to assist you in the Ruelson Kingdom, but it depends on whether you can provide enough. The conditions that moved us.”
Duke Borris took a deep look at Xu Yi, took out a document from his carrying bag and placed it in front of Xu Yi solemnly.
“Chairman Xu, this is an agreement signed by His Majesty the King himself. As long as you agree, we can sign it immediately.”
Seeing that Count Gandall and Count Anker looked nervously at the agreement on the table, Xu Yi knew that the conditions set forth in this agreement might not be trivial.
Of course, if you want to impress the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to aid the Ruelson Kingdom regardless of the threat of the Candela Empire, how can it be possible without good enough conditions.
