Although on the frontal battlefield, the troops of the Kingdom of Lursun defeated the troops of the Kandera Empire and were unable to match them, but when General McHale led his remaining men all the way to push 300 kilometers into the territory of the Kandra Empire, the Kingdom of Lursun But he immediately chose to retreat without any intention of continuing to pursue.
After withdrawing from the territory of the Candela Empire, the Luersun Kingdom simply strengthened its defensive forces on the border and did not take any other actions.
The Candela Empire also fell silent after experiencing the first two disastrous defeats.
The border between the two countries has returned to its previous calm, as if the previous war had never happened.
But everyone knows that this calmness is just an illusion.
As one of the two major empires in the mainland, the Candela Empire has suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of a small country like the Kingdom of Luersun. If it cannot regain its face, this will have serious consequences for the Candela Empire's status in the entire Sainz continent. Influence.
Therefore, the Candela Empire will definitely make a comeback, and this time, of course, it will not treat the Luersun Kingdom with any contempt like it did twice before.
Everyone believed that with the Candela Empire being far stronger than the Lursun Kingdom, it was possible to suffer losses once or twice from the Lursun Kingdom, but there was no problem in successfully defeating the Lursun Kingdom in the end.
Of course, this takes some time to prepare.
After the second confrontation between the two countries, time has advanced to the winter of 3789 in the continental calendar.
The weather has begun to get cooler in other places on the Sainz continent. Although the Malo Empire in the north of the continent has a huge territory, most places in the country have begun to show signs of cold winter.
The private domain of the Marquis of Southgaard is located in the southwest of the Malo Empire. It is closer to the middle of the continent. It didn't feel particularly cold at this time.
But for people who live all year round in the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing, winter is almost the same as spring and autumn in other countries. The current temperature in Marquis Southgaard's private property already made them feel a bit chilly.
A cold wind blew, and President Cantona couldn't help shivering. He tightened his tight leather jacket and felt a little warmer.
Turning around to see Baron Franklin next to him, he found that he was only wearing a thin singlet, not even fully buttoned, but he still stopped. There was no sign of feeling the slightest chill.
President Cantona couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This young man was different. His ability to withstand the cold was countless times stronger than that of an old man who was over forty.
"Hey, Franklin, when will the Marquis come back?" President Cantona asked.
Baron Franklin looked away from the distance and replied with a smile: "Grandpa said he would be back for dinner, so I think he will be back soon."
"Well, that's good." President Cantona nodded. "Today, the first phase of the farmland reconstruction project is about to be completed. The Marquis needs to come back in person for inspection and acceptance. If you have any comments, you'd better put them forward as soon as possible. It's almost the New Year. Those guys in the Chamber of Commerce But they are all anxious to go back to celebrate the New Year.”
"Actually, if it's just for acceptance, I can fully represent Grandpa. But Grandpa said it. Your Cantona Chamber of Commerce has helped the territory a lot this time, and the two parties will continue to cooperate for a long time in the future, so in order to consolidate the relationship between each other, I must keep you here for a few more days," Baron Franklin said with a smile.
"Oh?" President Cantona glanced at Baron Franklin in surprise.
Since the autumn harvest, he and his men from the Cantona Chamber of Commerce have been here for nearly three months.
Although the Marquis of Southgaard and Baron Franklin, who represented him as the overseer, were relatively polite to them during this period, President Cantona could see that this kind of politeness was just the courtesy of the nobles based on their own cultivation, and he It doesn’t mean how much they value themselves.
Of course, this is understandable. After all, the other party is the Marquis of the Malo Empire. He is a top figure in the entire Sainz continent. He is countless levels different from their small chamber of commerce. Being able to maintain the surface of politeness is already quite impressive. Cultivation, and most of the reasons are probably for the sake of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, now President Cantona has clearly noticed that Baron Franklin's words contained very obvious sincerity when he said this, and it was obviously not ordinary politeness and perfunctoryness.
Seeing the sincere smile on Baron Franklin's face, President Cantona had some doubts in his heart.
What caused such a sudden change in their attitude
But on second thought, it doesn't really matter.
Because in fact Cantona himself also wanted to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with the Marquis of Southgaard, which would be of great help to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce in opening up the market in the Marlowe Empire.
For example, during the autumn harvest this year, when the Cantona Chamber of Commerce made a great success in the harvest on the private domain of the Marquis of Southgaard, many other nobles from the Marlow Empire also found it through the intermediary contact of the Marquis of Southgaard. Cantona Chamber of Commerce, asking them to assist in completing the harvest on their private property.
During the autumn harvest, which lasted about one and a half months, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce completed a total of 50,000 hectares of harvesting tasks, harvesting an average of more than 100 hectares of farmland every day, and helped a total of thirteen nobles complete harvesting on their private lands.
Such amazing efficiency immediately aroused great repercussions in the aristocratic circle of the Malo Empire. Before the autumn harvest was completely over, countless nobles of the Malo Empire came to Kan through the Marquis of Southgaard or directly. The Cantona Chamber of Commerce hopes that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will help them complete the harvest on their private property next spring.
For these nobles, although the Cantona Chamber of Commerce requires a certain fee to assist in harvesting, because it can save a lot of labor, it is more profitable overall.
Moreover, the harvesting efficiency of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is extremely high, and the waste of food during the harvesting process is incredibly low, so no matter how you calculate it, it is more cost-effective than harvesting by yourself.
The current Cantona Chamber of Commerce can be said to have gained a reputation in the Marlow Empire. Even without the Marquis of Southgaard contacting it, it can still open up a situation in the Marlow Empire.
Of course, President Cantona is not so short-sighted. He still firmly gives the Marquis of Southgaard the greatest support and is the first to transform the farmland on the Marquis of Southgaard’s private property to help Southgaard. The Marquis de Marquis reclaimed about three hundred hectares of new farmland.
In this way, as long as the newly reclaimed 300 hectares of farmland are planted next year, the harvest on the Marquis of Southgaard's private property can be increased by at least half during next autumn harvest.
"Perhaps it is because he is particularly satisfied with this result that he changes his attitude towards me?" President Cantona changed this idea in his mind, thought about it, nodded to Baron Franklin and said: "Well, since Lord Marquis How could I refuse the invitation? I still have many issues to discuss with the Marquis regarding farmland reconstruction, and I hope to have more exchanges with the Marquis in the next few days.”
"Grandpa will be very happy to communicate with you." Baron Franklin smiled.
After the two talked for a while, Baron Franklin left because of something. President Cantona supervised the progress of the farmland reconstruction project for a while, then got on a passing freight magic locomotive and headed to the private property of the Marquis of Southgaard. The magic industrial base to the west.
After nearly half a year of construction, the base has now taken shape. Several factories are nearing completion and are expected to be officially put into production early next year.
Now the chambers of commerce to which these factories belong are recruiting a large number of workers through the Marquis of Southgaard to prepare for the start of work in the coming year.
According to the previous agreement reached between Xu Yi and the Marquis of Southgaard, the workers recruited in these factories will mainly come from the private domain of the Marquis of Southgaard. However, because the private domain of the Marquis of Southgaard cannot provide enough workers, so External recruitment is required.
The Marquis of Southgaard gave priority to these extra places to his good friend Duke Macaros, and expected to recruit about 3,000 to 4,000 workers from the people in his private territory.
And because this will affect the labor force of the Duke of Macaros, now the Duke of Macaros has made a request to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce through the Marquis of Southgaard, hoping that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will also pay attention to the private territory of the Duke of Macaros. Carry out corresponding overall transformation of farmland.
At the same time, the Marquis of Southgaard and the Duke of Macaros both submitted orders for various farm magic machines to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and received the approval of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If nothing else goes wrong, within three years at most, their private territories will be fully mechanized farming like the current Lampali Kingdom and other countries.
This result will certainly affect the current income of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, but President Cantona is not surprised by this.
When the Kingdom of Lampali and other countries fully implemented mechanized farming, it also had an impact on the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, but the Cantona Chamber of Commerce still found its own market.
Now the Malo Empire is several times larger than the Lampali Kingdom and other countries combined, and he is confident enough to find a space for his own survival.
What's more, President Cantona's ambitions don't stop there.
After arriving at the industrial base, President Cantona directly found Riley, the engineering director of the Armley Chamber of Commerce who stayed here to be responsible for the construction of the industrial base, and asked him his questions in a subtle way.
Why did the Marquis of Southgaard suddenly become so enthusiastic and positive
Then Riley gave President Cantona an answer that he completely unexpected.
"It's simple, because the Luersun Kingdom defeated the Cantona Empire."
President Cantona blinked, looking puzzled.
How are these things connected? (To be continued...)
