Similar traffic also appeared on the three roads leading from the Principality of Constantine to the Kingdom of Ruhr.
After signing a new aid agreement with the Kingdom of Ruhr, New Flyer had been continuously sending various types of aid to the Principality of Constantine.
Apart from some of the goods that the citizens of the Kingdom of Ruhr lacked due to the lockdown, most of the goods came from New Flyer's factories in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Based on the current situation in the Kingdom of Ruhr, just the aid of goods was a drop in the bucket and couldn't solve the most fundamental problem.
Therefore, in the aid agreement signed by New Flyer, Xu Yi proposed that New Flyer would fund the development of the magic machine industry in the Kingdom of Ruhr. They would build a large number of magic machine factories to solve the work problems of the citizens of the Kingdom of Ruhr and help them improve their living conditions.
Of course, this was different from the factories the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had invested in in the Rudson Kingdom. Whether it was the ownership or management of these new factories, even the right to set prices for the products, they all belonged to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
The only thing the Kingdom of Ruhr could do with these factories was to collect taxes as usual.
If possible, the Kingdom of Ruhr wouldn't agree to such a condition because it was equivalent to giving up everything in the country to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. New Flyer would obtain the majority of the benefits, while the Kingdom of Ruhr would only get the leftovers.
Compared to the previous joint venture, the benefits of this model for the Kingdom of Ruhr were greatly reduced.
However, because the Kandla Empire's lockdown on the Kingdom of Ruhr was almost omnidirectional, the only one that could not be taken into consideration was New Flyer. The only one that dared to provide aid to the Kingdom of Ruhr at the risk of angering the Kandla Empire was the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Ruhr had no choice but to agree to the agreement proposed by New Flyer.
It had been almost half a year since the agreement was carried out. As the spring breeze gradually blew across the land, the Kingdom of Ruhr began to show signs of life.
The citizens of the Kingdom of Ruhr who were trapped by the natural disaster last year had received great help from New Flyer and were now properly settled.
Originally, a natural disaster like last year that involved more than half a million people could cause large-scale unrest in any country in the Sines. Even a small country like the Kingdom of Ruhr could have a serious consequence of the decline of the country's fortunes.
But this time, facing both the natural disaster within the country and the Kandla Empire's lockdown, the Kingdom of Ruhr only had a few more refugees after receiving aid from New Flyer. Other than that, there was not much unrest.
Moreover, even for these refugees, with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce investing in the Rudson Kingdom, they quickly regained their stable lives and no longer posed any hidden dangers.
In less than half a year, New Flyer's factories all over the Kingdom of Ruhr emerged like spring training after the rain.
At the beginning of spring, when the flowers bloomed, New Flyer had officially opened 23 factories in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Just these 23 factories alone recruited more than seventy thousand workers in the Kingdom of Ruhr. It was even close to the total number of workers in New Flyer's main base in the Principality of Constantine.
Although the wages paid by these factories were far inferior to the wages of the New Flyer factories in the Principality of Constantine, it was still more than ten gold coins a month. It was enough for an ordinary family to live a comfortable life.
Therefore, just because New Flyer opened 23 factories, it immediately affected the lives of three hundred thousand people in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
For the Kingdom of Ruhr, which was currently in a difficult situation, this was of utmost importance.
Moreover, because of the influence of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the Rudson Kingdom had been affected by the Candra Empire's blockade. There were even many companies that had closed the magic machine industry, but now it was revived and quickly developed.
This affected even more people in the Kingdom of Ruhr. It was roughly estimated to be more than five hundred thousand people.
Moreover, as the magic machine industry developed, it inevitably led to the development of other industries in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Therefore, in less than half a year, the Kingdom of Ruhr was completely different. Everywhere was filled with vitality, and it was no longer as gloomy and gloomy as before.
This change was too obvious. Everyone in the Kingdom of Ruhr could clearly feel this change.
Of course, the ordinary Kingdom of Ruhr's citizens were grateful to New Flyer. They felt that New Flyer had saved them.
However, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Ruhr, including the most honorable King Teruc, had a much more complicated impression of New Flyer.
From the perspective of the citizens of the Kingdom of Ruhr, King Teruc was naturally very grateful to New Flyer. This was because if New Flyer did not help, the Kingdom of Ruhr would have fallen into chaos due to internal instability. When that happened, it would not be strange for anything to happen.
In fact, it would not be strange for the Kingdom of Ruhr to cease to exist.
However, from the perspective of a king, and from the perspective of the entire Kingdom of Ruhr, King Teruc was more worried and wary of New Flyer.
In the end, New Flyer was a merchant company that did not belong to the Kingdom of Ruhr. It was not under King Teruc's control and influence.
Now that New Flyer's influence on the Kingdom of Ruhr was so deep, it was definitely not a good thing for the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Moreover, in the agreement between New Flyer and the Kingdom of Ruhr, it clearly stated the various mineral resources in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
With New Flyer's financial strength and powerful influence on the Kingdom of Ruhr, it would not be strange if New Flyer dug up all the mineral resources in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
If it was said that the previous King Teruc and all the other kings on the continent didn't care about mineral resources, with the appearance of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the magic machines becoming more and more important, at least King Teruc was very clear on the importance of mineral resources.
New Flyer had been purchasing mineral resources for the past few years. Their goal and intentions were abnormally obvious.
However, there was nothing King Teruc could do.
Although the Kingdom of Ruhr had successfully repelled the Kandla Empire's two invasions, it was impossible for them to face the Kandla Empire head on. After all, the difference in strength between the two countries was too great.
Now that the Kandla Empire had tightly sealed off the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Kingdom of Ruhr had no way of breaking through this blockade.
New Flyer was the Kingdom of Ruhr's only hope. Therefore, no matter what conditions he put forward, the Kingdom of Ruhr could only agree.
Every time King Teruc thought about this matter, he would feel truly fortunate.
New Flyer didn't seem to be interested in anything other than mineral resources. Otherwise, if they took this chance to put forward even more excessive conditions to the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Kingdom of Ruhr could only agree and the threat to the Kingdom of Ruhr would become even greater.
Rather, not only did New Flyer not take this chance to put forward even more excessive conditions to the Kingdom of Ruhr, when Xu Yi met with King Teruc, he unexpectedly told King Teruc that New Flyer would help the Kingdom of Ruhr build a complete magic machine industry!
Moreover, Xu Yi didn't just say it. He had represented New Flyer to sign an agreement with King Teruc to transfer some of the agricultural magic machine technology.
At the same time, Xu Yi also said that New Flyer would help the Kingdom of Ruhr build two agricultural magic machine factories, helping the Kingdom of Ruhr have the ability to produce agricultural magic machines.
King Teruc almost couldn't believe his ears when he heard this sudden happiness.
Just why was this?
What did New Flyer want to do?
Just what did Xu Yi want from the Kingdom of Ruhr?
King Teruc had countless questions in his mind, but this didn't affect him from signing this technology transfer agreement with New Flyer on behalf of the Kingdom of Ruhr.
After all, there was no problem with this agreement, there were only benefits to the Kingdom of Ruhr.
After the agreement was signed, New Flyer's powerful actions were immediately displayed.
In just half a month, New Flyer had given all the technology to the Kingdom of Ruhr. Now as long as the Kingdom of Ruhr made the necessary preparations, the two agricultural magic machine factories could begin production.
Of course, what King Teruc didn't know was that last month, the Lampari Kingdom had already finished building three agricultural magic machine factories and were now in production.
At the same time last month, New Flyer's research center in the Lampari Kingdom had cooperated with the Lampari Kingdom's magic machine industry management association to create the Lampari Magic Machine Industry Academy.
What King Teruc was clear on was that the Kingdom of Ruhr couldn't resist the New Flyer at all.
This was because the only place in the Kingdom of Ruhr that wasn't completely blocked by the Kandla Empire was the sea route through Nissi Harbour that led to the other parts of the continent.
The reason why this sea route could remain open was because the New Flyer's transport fleet was using this route.
As for the New Flyer's fleet that had clearly caused the Kandla Empire's navy to suffer a large loss, the Kandla Empire's navy still ignored the New Flyer's fleet and charged through the sea, not stopping them at all. This was something that King Teruc couldn't understand no matter what.
