"Your majesty, I am very grateful for the support and help you have given me.
But for you to do this, isn't it ….. a bit too forceful?
The members of the parliament will definitely have opinions on your actions. "Xu Yi chose his words carefully as he asked this.
Lampuri Thirteenth looked at Xu Yi, "What?
You want to be stripped of your noble status? "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "I don't care about my noble status that much, it's fine if it's taken away.
The problem is that your majesty's actions will cause dissatisfaction with the Royal Parliament. Because I am just a trivial viscount, it isn't worth it. "
"It's fine as long as I feel it's worth it."
Lampuri Thirteenth slowly shook his head. He looked at Xu Yi with a gaze of deep meaning before asking in a deep voice, "Xu Yi, if I don't care about this matter today, you will be stripped of your noble status and your territory and privileges will be taken back. What will you do next?"
"I won't do anything." Xu Yi shook his head.
"I don't have the ability to go against the Royal Parliament. Since they insist on doing this, I'll just hand over my territory and privileges."
"Then what about the New Flyer?
What are you planning to do? "Lampuri Thirteenth kept asking.
"I can develop the New Flyer to this point from nothing, so based on my current foundation, of course I'm confident in finding another place to develop."
Xu Yi said with a confident smile, "It doesn't matter where it is, as long as I'm here, the New Flyer will still exist."
"Your confidence is quite strong." Lampuri Thirteenth gave a nod of praise.
Lampuri Thirteenth gave a nod, "But it doesn't matter where you develop, I feel it is very important.
The New Flyer is such an important thing, if I let it slip away from our Lampari Kingdom, I will become a sinner of the kingdom. "
Xu Yi was surprised, "Your majesty, I never thought that you would place such importance on our New Flyer."
"How could I not care?" Lampuri Thirteenth patted the stack of documents in his hand.
"There are countless data and examples here that prove that the New Flyer has played a very positive role in the development of the kingdom. If I don't value it, what right do I have to be the king?"
Xu Yi chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Your Majesty, since you value our New Flyer so much, why don't you give us some special privileges?"
Lampuri Thirteenth found this a bit funny, "Kid, you really know how to climb up, but I'll give you a chance.
Tell me, what privilege do you want?
If it's reasonable, I can promise you. "
He never thought that Lampuri Thirteenth would be this easy to talk to. Xu Yi was overjoyed and quickly said, "Your majesty, although you've given our New Flyer free trade rights, I feel that this right isn't enough."
"Oh?
What else do you need? "
"Yes … … Although this free trade right allows our company to trade with other countries and regions outside the kingdom, trade with enemy countries is strictly prohibited.
So … "
Lampuri Thirteenth narrowed his eyes, "What?
Could it be that you still want to do business with the Sack Kingdom?
Could it be that you think the Sack Kingdom isn't strong enough?
You want to give them some money to help them become stronger? "
"Of course not." Xu Yi immediately shook his head.
"Your majesty, although our New Flyer has always adopted a win-win strategy when doing business with the other side, in terms of doing business, it isn't hard to earn money from the other side.
Trading with the Sack Kingdom won't help the Sack Kingdom become stronger, rather we can squeeze out their resources and money through this trade, weakening their strength. "
"Is that so?" Lampuri Thirteenth was shocked as he asked in a curious voice, "How do you do it?"
"Give an example.
Your majesty, for example, if our company sells a Magic Air Conditioner to the Sack Kingdom, do you think it will increase their strength? "
"Of course not." Lampuri Thirteenth shook his head.
Lampuri Thirteenth shook his head, "Things like the Magic Air Conditioner can only be used daily, it doesn't help increase the strength of the kingdom."
"But our company's latest Magic Air Conditioner is priced at twenty eight gold coins. If we sell one to the Sack Kingdom, it's equal to earning twenty eight gold coins from the Sack Kingdom.
This is equal to weakening the Sack Kingdom's funds and increasing the strength of our company. "
Lampuri Thirteenth was silent for a bit before giving a slight nod, "I can roughly understand what you mean.
But the Sack Kingdom isn't that stupid. They will take whatever you want to sell them, so there will be restrictions. "
Xu Yi said with a laugh, "Your majesty, I think that even if it is you, you should know about smuggling, right?"
Lampuri Thirteenth's face sunk as he gave a cold snort, "A company's chairman like you dares to mention smuggling in front of me, you really are bold!"
Xu Yi wasn't afraid at all as he said with a smile, "Your majesty, not only do I want to mention smuggling in front of you, the privilege I want from you this time is related to smuggling?"
Lampuri Thirteenth was instantly happy, "What?
Your New Flyer also wants to smuggle? "
"That's right.
But what we want is legal smuggling. "
"What is legal about smuggling?
Are you joking? "Lampuri Thirteenth glared at Xu Yi.
"Of course."
Xu Yi's smile disappeared and he said with a serious look, "As long as it is under your majesty's supervision and approval, it is naturally legal."
Seeing that Xu Yi wasn't joking, Lampuri Thirteenth thought for a bit before suddenly looking at Xu Yi and revealing a sly smile.
"Chairman Xu, since you are a merchant, you should know what price you have to pay to obtain benefits, right?"
Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh and spread his hands, "Your majesty, I am right here. You can slaughter me however you want."
Lampuri Thirteenth laughed, "Then I won't be polite."
###
When Xu Yi returned to the yard, Viscount Leslie and Baron Hannas were waiting for him.
Seeing Xu Yi, the two had strange looks on their faces.
Although there weren't many people who saw what happened at the Royal Parliament this morning, for the nobles of Anvilmar City, it wasn't a secret no matter what happened at the Royal Parliament, not to mention such a shocking scene.
His majesty had personally made a move to keep Xu Yi's viscount title from the Royal Parliament!
Manager Dema had announced the two king's orders in front of the Royal Parliament. To all the nobles in the city, it was no different from slapping the Royal Parliament in the face.
Although the Lampari Kingdom had been established for several hundred years and there had been many times when the king and the Royal Parliament had different opinions, even directly clashing with each other, something like this that slapped the face of the Royal Parliament in front of everyone rarely happened.
His majesty was simply telling everyone that no one was allowed to make a move against Xu Yi.
Before this, although many people knew that his majesty placed great importance on Xu Yi and the New Flyer, they never thought that his majesty would place such importance on Xu Yi and the New Flyer, even not hesitating to slap the face of the Royal Parliament.
Just this matter made Xu Yi the most famous person in the Lampari Kingdom's circle of nobles, making countless people envious.
However, when Viscount Leslie and Baron Hannas looked at Xu Yi, they didn't look happy at all.
"Xu Yi, I feel that you are being used by his majesty."
Baron Hannas shook his head and said with a sigh, "Although protecting you from the Royal Parliament like this is very impressive, it also guarantees that no one will easily make a move against you in the future.
But like this, those fellows in the Royal Parliament will definitely hate you to their bones and will definitely cause trouble for you in the future. "
Xu Yi said with a smile, "You think that without this matter, they won't cause trouble for me?
The decision of this council wasn't suddenly made. "
Baron Hannas thought about it before saying with a smile, "That's also true, those old men in the Royal Parliament are all on his highness Eric's side, so it's certain that they want to deal with you.
His Majesty the King probably wants to use this opportunity to warn them. "
"That's why it's fine to be used.
You have to know that many people don't have the qualifications to be used by his majesty even if they want to. "
"You're quite open-minded." Viscount Leslie couldn't help smiling.
"I was worried that you would be hit by this matter and be disheartened, but now it seems like you aren't affected at all, so I can be assured."
"It's not right to say that I'm not affected at all."
Xu Yi shook his head and said with a sigh, "At least I've recognized a fact through this matter. Whether I'm willing or not, I've already been branded by her highness Seveni.
Just like you, Leslie, no matter what you think in your heart, you will still be considered a member of the Stagg Family. "
Viscount Leslie shook his head with a faint smile, "Not only that, if I cooperate with your New Flyer, everyone will think that the position of the Stagg Family has changed.
The chain reaction created by this will definitely be very interesting. "
Xu Yi and Baron Hannas looked at him in surprise. Baron Hannas couldn't help saying, "Hey, Leslie, you wouldn't have done this on purpose because you thought of this, right?"
Viscount Leslie smiled without replying.
Xu Yi said with a frown, "Leslie, are you really going against your family by doing this?"
"Why not?" Viscount Leslie shrugged his shoulders.
Viscount Leslie gave a shrug, "If I don't do this before I'm kicked out of the family, wouldn't I be wasting my status as the family's eldest son?"
Seeing the self deprecating smile on Viscount Leslie's lips, Xu Yi and Baron Hannas looked at each other, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
They were clear that once Viscount Leslie decided on something, he definitely wouldn't be easily changed by others.
Moreover, looking at his appearance, it was clear that he had already decided on this, so he wouldn't be swayed by others.
But the problem was that even if he was the Stagg Family's eldest son, going against the entire Stagg Family was seeking his own death.
