"Ke, ke, ke … …"
Xu Yi almost choked to death on his own saliva.
He just wanted to discuss the price with Lord Wein, trying to raise it a bit. Anyway, only New Flyer could produce Magic Armoured Vehicles, so as long as Lord Wein needed it, no matter what price Xu Yi gave, he could only accept it.
But Xu Yi never thought that he would at most receive some benefits from Lord Wein. For example, mining resources, renting some land, or extending the lease period, or adjusting the recruitment of local workers, but Lord Wein had actually said that he would give him a piece of land!
Xu Yi looked at Lord Wein in a daze for a while before asking with wide eyes, "Wait!
Lord, what did you say?
You want to give me a piece of land?
What does that mean? "
"That's what it means. What else could it mean?" Lord Wein answered matter-of-factly.
Lord Wein replied with a natural look, "Didn't you tell me before that if I could have a piece of land that belonged to you, no one would chase New Flyer away?
I can satisfy your wish now and give you a piece of land from my land. "
"Is this alright?" Xu Yi was surprised.
"Giving your land to me as my private land, Duke Stantine wouldn't agree, right?"
"It's fine as long as I agree.
As for whether the duke agrees or not ….. Chairman Xu, I don't need to teach you how to make the duke agree, right? "Lord Wein said with a lecherous look.
Xu Yi nodded to show he understood.
Of course he knew how to make Duke Stantine agree, it was the only method that had worked before, which was to throw in money.
Xu Yi considered it for a bit before calming his mind and asking Lord Wein, "Alright, Lord, are you really planning on doing this?
How much land are you planning on giving me?
If it's too little, it's far from enough. "
Lord Wein pointed at the New Flyer guard training base in front of him and said with a smile, "How about I give you this piece of land?
Didn't you say that outsiders couldn't casually enter this place?
As long as this place becomes your private territory, you will be able to say that with confidence. "
Seeing Xu Yi frown, Lord Wein laughed. "It's just a joke. Chairman Xu, don't mind it.
Don't worry, since I've already decided to do this, of course I won't be so stingy.
How about this, Chairman Xu, let's divide the two hundred thousand hectares of land that your Chamber of Commerce has rented from me. What do you think? "
Xu Yi's eyes lit up, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Sir Overlord, aren't you being too stingy?
Two hundred thousand hectares is far from enough. "
Lord Wein had an unhappy expression, "Chairman Xu, don't be too greedy.
You should know very well how important a territory is, and how determined I am to transfer it to you. "
"Of course I understand, but two hundred thousand hectares is barely enough for our company's current development plans. Our company will still need to develop in the future, so having more space is also good.
Am I right?
Sir Overlord? "
"This kind of territory is fixed, giving you an extra piece means one less piece for me. Do you think that I can casually give you more?"
"This is very simple, as long as the Sir Overlord obtains more territory from other places, it's fine, right?
Of course, our New Flyer will definitely do our best to support the Sir Overlord. "
"It's like this ….. It isn't impossible, but … …"
… …
Xu Yi and Lord Wein had an intense negotiation before finally reaching an agreement. With the river that flowed into the endless sea not far away from the Xinfei Farm, the area from the river to the sea would be the New Flyer.
According to the map that Xu Yi had Evita explore with the Magic Airship, this area was around two hundred and forty thousand hectares.
After discussing the area, it was time to set the price.
Lord Wein opened his mouth like a lion and set the price at ten million gold coins.
Although Xu Yi knew that this price was very, very low, if this was earth, it would be given for free, he still desperately haggled and finally lowered the price to eight million gold coins.
For such a large transaction, naturally it was impossible for the New Flyer to pay in gold coins. Lord Wein didn't come for gold coins.
According to the agreement between them, the New Flyer had to provide Lord Wein with a hundred Magic Armoured Vehicles, a thousand Magic Repeating Crossbows, five large Magic Trebuchets, and three thousand individual military magic machines.
Other than the military request, Lord Wein also wanted the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to help him build three canned fruit factories and five household magic machine factories, as well as transfer the corresponding production technology.
Calculating it all, the value of these things added together was less than five million gold coins.
The reason why Lord Wein agreed in the end was because Xu Yi had taken the initiative to send the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards to help him when necessary.
Although Lord Wein hadn't personally seen the battle strength of the New Flyer guards, just based on the large amounts of elves and dwarves, as well as the incomparably fierce human warriors, he could tell that their battle strength was very terrifying.
Moreover, according to the news from the Black Rice Wasteland, the New Flyer guards had the absolute advantage against the most brutal beastmen tribes of the Black Rice Wasteland.
Up to this point, there hadn't been any news of the New Flyer guards dying and not a single one being heavily injured.
If he could have such a terrifying battle strength as reinforcements, it would without a doubt greatly increase Lord Wein's confidence.
After both sides reached an agreement, they immediately signed an agreement.
According to the agreement, as long as Xu Yi could defeat Duke Stantine and obtain Duke Stantine's approval, this agreement would automatically take effect.
After sending Lord Wein off, Xu Yi couldn't help the excitement in his heart as he broke out in laughter.
When he was in the Lampari Kingdom, although he had obtained the status of a noble and obtained a piece of private territory, this small territory was very small.
But not mentioning how small this territory was, it was still under the control of the Lampuri Kingdom, so it couldn't be considered his territory.
Then the situation in the Lampari Kingdom changed and he announced that he would give up his status as a noble, as well as giving up his private territory.
Because he was clear that even if he didn't give it up, the Royal Parliament would have done the same thing as Lampuri Thirteenth when he was still alive. They would have taken away his status as a noble and taken back his private territory.
So strictly speaking, his private territory in the Lampuri Kingdom couldn't be considered a territory that belonged to him.
In the end, with the strength he and the New Flyer had, they didn't have the possibility of having a private territory in the Lampari Kingdom.
But in the Principality of Constantine, they had this condition.
The Principality of Constantine was very weak, so Duke Stantine didn't care about the private struggles of the local lords at all.
If Lord Wein defeated Count Fran, he could obtain Fran Count's territory.
Like now, Lord Wein was transferring his territory to Xu Yi. This was impossible in the Lampari Kingdom, but it was definitely possible in the Principality of Constantine.
Xu Yi was very confident in dealing with Duke Stantine and obtaining the official recognition of the Principality of Constantine, becoming a lord of the Principality of Constantine.
If all of this was done, it would mean that Xu Yi would have a piece of land that completely belonged to him for the first time.
Although this territory was only around two hundred and forty thousand hectares, which was around two thousand square kilometers, it couldn't be considered small.
Moreover, on this territory, Xu Yi could completely control it and didn't need to care about the opinions of others.
The only prerequisite was that he had enough strength to defend this territory.
Xu Yi didn't have this confidence in the Lampari Kingdom, but in the Principality of Constantine, Xu Yi felt that there was no problem.
Lord Wein's ten thousand private guards were considered quite a bit in the Principality of Constantine. After being equipped with the military magic machines provided by the New Flyer, they could easily defeat Count Fran who was on the same level as him.
Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards were only a thousand people, their battle strength wasn't inferior to Lord Wein's scattered private guards. It was even possible that they far surpassed them.
With this kind of power, perhaps the New Flyer wasn't qualified to participate in the competition for the lords of the Principality of Constantine, but it wasn't a problem for them to defend this territory.
Turning around and looking around, Xu Yi found that his attitude had completely changed.
When he was here before, he only treated himself as a guest and this place didn't give him the feeling of home.
But now that he had signed this agreement with Lord Wein, he treated this place as his private property. He felt that as he looked around, he was filled with warmth.
After greedily looking around for a while, Xu Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. After pausing for a bit, he returned to the guard training grounds.
The guards who had returned had already gotten out of the Magic Armoured Vehicles and were standing in a neat square formation on the training grounds under Hart's command.
Although there were quite a few elven and dwarven warriors, they didn't hesitate to follow Hart's orders.
After close to a year of fighting, the different races of the New Flyer guards had formed a deep friendship and there was no longer the estrangement from before.
Now even the proud elven warriors were willing to listen to the orders of the human guard captain Hart.
Seeing the firm faces of the guards, Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile. He gave a short speech to everyone, praising their contributions during this time before dismissing them.
When the guards scattered, Hart came to Xu Yi's side with a strange expression. He first gave a bow to Xu Yi before giving Xu Yi a backpack.
Xu Yi took it in a daze, "Could it be that you brought back a gift for me?"
Hart shook his head, "No, these are the orders I received."
