Volume 3 Chapter 144 - Her highness’ article (1/2)

When Xu Yi entered Count Sean’s office, he saw Count Sean putting down the newspaper in his hands and knitting his brows with a bit of worry.

“Did something happen?” Xu Yi asked. His eyes fell onto the newspaper and found that it was the «Banta Times» he was familiar with, so he couldn’t help being a bit surprised, “When did the «Banta Times» start selling here?”

“Of course it doesn’t.” Count Sean shook his head, “I have someone gather it each week and specially deliver it from Banta City.”

“Specially deliver?”

Xu Yi was secretly speechless.

Banta City was over a thousand kilometers away. Even if one took a Magic Car, they would have to drive without stopping all day, so it would take at least two days to deliver it over here.

The most important thing was that arranging someone to purchase the «Banta Times» would require a shocking amount of money.

Count Sean was not a noble that liked luxuries, but he put in this much money and effort for a «Banta Times», it could be seen that he was still very concerned about Banta City even after leaving the post for a year and a half.

“This isn’t strange.” Count Sean said with a smile, “I have been the City Lord of Banta City for over ten years, so I should have deep sentiment there. Not to mention…..her highness is the current City Lord, so I should care about that.”

Xu Yi nodded to show he understood before asking, “Then what has happened in Banta City?”

“Take a look.” Count Sean pointed at the «Banta Times» on the table.

Xu Yi picked up the newspaper and saw that based on the date, this «Banta Times» should be from three days ago.

Looking at the front page headline, Xu Yi’s eyes lit up and his heart filled with joy.

“Ha, her highness is finally putting importance on this issue? Great! With this vocational training school and the other training facilities, the human resource issue in Banta City should be soon solved. It would be a great help in the development of Banta City and the entire Lampuri Kingdom.”

“Xu Yi, did you give this idea to her highness?” Count Sean asked.

“Un, actually I already noticed this problem last year, but Count Stagg was the City Lord and I didn’t raise it to him. When her highness took over, I mentioned this before, but her highness didn’t care about this matter before, so it had been delayed. Now that her highness is finally putting importance on this matter, it really is great.”

Count Sean shook his head and said with a sigh, “Did you notice when her highness started attaching importance to this?”

Xu Yi was surprised. He carefully read through the article and noticed that her highness making this decision was because something had happened in Banta Ciuty which was in another report.

Flipping the page, he found that there was a detailed report on the second page of the «Banta Times».

Reading through the lines about the Sanglang River farmland, Xu Yi thought about it and confirmed that this matter had indeed happened.

Chairman Porter had asked for his help before, but he didn’t care. He just told Kennard to arrange things and didn’t pay it any attention.

He never thought that this matter would develop into such a serious incident.

According to the report in the «Banta Times», this matter had not just aroused interest in Banta City, even many other cities had paid attention to this and several newspapers in Anvilmar City had reported on this.

After he finished reading the report, Xu Yi thought about it before giving a shrug and saying with a smile, “Although the influence of this matter isn’t good, it made her highness pay attention to training human resources, so it can be considered a good thing.”

Count Sean narrowed his eyes to look at Xu Yi before asking with knit brows, “Do you really only think this?”

Xu Yi was taken aback, “What about it?”

Count Sean shook his head and said with a sigh, “Kid, it seems like you’re really not suited for politics, you actually can’t see the matter hidden in this.”

Xu Yi looked at the «Banta Times» in his hands with confusion and asked in a confused voice, “What is the problem?”

“You haven’t thought that even though this matter is a small matter, it’s caused so much trouble?” Count Sean asked back.

“How is this matter small……”

Xu Yi suddenly stopped when he had just started.

Because he suddenly realized that he had neglected a problem.

This was the Sines Continent, it was very different from earth.

If this matter happened on earth, it would be reported as a very serious matter. It would definitely have a serious impact on the Banta City local government and would seriously damage the accountability of Banta City’s leaders.
