Spring is a season when all things grow.
In the Marquis of Southgaard's private property, in addition to the wild flowers and grasses everywhere and the green wheat seedlings in the fields, there are also tall factories that cover a wide area and grow vigorously with the spring breeze.
This brand-new magic industrial base was supposed to be half completed at the end of last year. At the beginning of this year, according to the scheduled plan, it should have been basically completed and fully put into production.
However, when making the plan, the Amri Chamber of Commerce underestimated the project environment. Although they expected that winter in the Malo Empire would be earlier than that in countries such as the Lampali Kingdom in the southern part of the Deep Continent, they did not expect it to come so quickly. It was early, and the cold in winter was several times stronger than that in the Lampali Kingdom. It was even more unexpected that the winter in the Malo Empire would have such a great impact on the close combat of the project, so that in the end the planned progress of the project was not completed before the year.
Fortunately, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other magic machinery chambers of commerce that came to the Maro Empire to invest and build factories did not expect to officially put into production in the first year. Although the progress was delayed a bit, the impact was not very big. On the contrary, It also gives them more time to prepare.
Then as soon as the spring began this year, a large amount of materials poured into the Marquis of Southgaard's private property along with the fleets of freight magic locomotives from various chambers of commerce. Work on the construction sites that had been forced to stop due to the cold winter was immediately restarted.
Because of sufficient preparations, after construction started again, the construction speed of factories in this magic industrial base was much faster than that of a year ago.
Judging from the current progress, as long as there are no more accidents, it will be basically completed in less than six months at most. But it was only one month longer than the original plan. Not too much of an exaggeration.
certainly. The construction of these factories can be delayed by a month, and it will not affect anything. However, for the large farmland on the private property of the Marquis of Southgaard, a delay of one month, not to mention a delay of one week, is very problematic.
Last year, with the help of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, the Marquis of Southgaard nearly doubled the cultivated farmland on his private property, and with the help of magic planters and other farmland magic machines, he used the extra farmland to grow. All farmland is also planted with wheat.
Spring is here now. All these newly cultivated farmlands are growing smoothly, and there is another bumper harvest.
But without the help of farmland magic machinery, Marquis Southgaard can be sure that he will not find enough manpower to harvest.
So from the first gust of spring breeze, he had already begun to look forward to the arrival of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce again.
One day in early April, he finally arrived at the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, he also waited for another group of people he was looking forward to even more, that is, the team from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing the fleet of large-scale freight magic motorcycles extending all the way to form a long queue of at least more than two kilometers on the far end of the road, Marquis Southgaard couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.
Except for the logistics mobilization that occurs only when the empire is engaged in war, I usually want to see such a huge convoy galloping on the road. That chance is quite small.
And now this fleet is not the traditional freight carriages of the past, but all the most advanced large-scale freight magic locomotives.
Not to mention that the loading capacity is several times or even ten times that of a traditional freight carriage. Even the speed and endurance are far superior.
Such a fleet of large freight magic locomotives would of course carry an astonishing amount of supplies.
The twenty large freight magic locomotives at the front of the convoy all bore the logo of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. After entering the private estate of the Marquis of Southgaard, President Cantona started from the first large freight magic locomotive. jumped out of the passenger compartment.
"My Lord Marquis, I am not late." As soon as he got off the car, President Cantona immediately laughed and raised his hand to say hello to the Marquis of Southgaard from a distance.
The Marquis of Southgaard smiled and nodded, looked at the long motorcade behind him, and then said to President Cantona: "President Cantona, you have had a hard journey. Everything behind this is the freight magic of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Motorcycle?"
"Of course. Except for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, how can other chambers of commerce have such a large presence now. But it is wrong to say that these freight magic motorcycles belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because they all belong to the Filson Transportation Chamber of Commerce. This time they are just Just helping the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transport goods," President Cantona replied.
Marquis Southgaard frowned slightly, a little confused.
"The large freight magic locomotives are all manufactured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Why don't they build their own transport fleet and let others transport the goods for them?"
"I actually asked President Xu this question before. He said that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly focuses on the research and manufacturing of magic machinery, and will leave space for other people and chambers of commerce to get involved in other aspects. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will try not to get involved. . This is probably the reason why we don’t set up our own transport fleet.”
Marquis Southgaard shook his head, still seeming a little confused.
However, he was not very concerned about this issue. He paused and looked at the motorcade behind him again.
"Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's convoy has arrived, where is President Xu? Why didn't you see him?"
"It will take us four days to come all the way. President Xu is very busy and doesn't want to waste so much time on the road, so he sets off behind us this time. If you do the math..." President Cantona responded, but turned around. He stood up and raised his head to look at the sky far behind him. "It should be almost there now."
The Marquis of Southgaard was startled, thinking that since Xu Yi set off after you, how could he have already arrived when you had just arrived
Just when he was about to ask what was going on, President Cantona suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction he was looking up.
"coming!"
Marquis Southgaard looked up in that direction in astonishment, and found a black spot approaching quickly from the distant sky.
After a while, the black spot quickly turned into a black cloud.
Hearing the faint sound of mechanical rotation in the distant sky, Marquis Southgaard reacted instantly.
"Magic airship? So President Xu came here on a magic airship?"
"Yes, otherwise how could we have arrived so quickly." President Cantona turned back and smiled.
Marquis Southgaard stared at the magic airship approaching rapidly in the sky with a strange expression.
When he was inspecting the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing. Of course I have seen the existence of magic airship with my own eyes. I was even invited by Xu Yi to ride on it and experience it myself.
At that time, he was greatly surprised by the magic of the magic airship. But of course when he proposed to buy a few ships to take back to the Malo Empire, Xu Yi distracted him with other topics.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yi now ran over on his own magic airship.
He believed that Xu Yi was definitely not doing something meaningless. Does bringing the magic airship over this time mean that he was finally willing to sell the magic airship
If that's the case, that's really good news.
"Lord Marquis, you and President Xu must have a lot to talk about, so I won't disturb you here. I'll go arrange my workers to make preparations first. It seems like there are only a few days until the spring harvest, so we have to hurry up. A little will do." President Cantona suddenly looked back at the sky.
"Oh? Ah, that's right." Marquis Southgaard was stunned for a moment, quickly reacted, waved behind him, and summoned Baron Franklin, who had been waiting aside.
"President Cantona, you are familiar with Franklin, and I have asked him to assist you in your work during this period. By the way, don't be busy with work today and just unload things. I will be at the manor in the evening There is a banquet here. President Cantona is also invited to attend.”
President Cantona laughed: "How could I miss the Marquis's banquet. Well, then. Marquis, we will see you in the evening."
After leaving these words, President Cantona greeted Baron Franklin, who had already looked excited, and the two of them took the twenty large freight magic locomotives in front of them with the flags of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce towards Southgate. De Marquis walked to the warehouse that he had prepared a long time ago.
They had just walked away when a not particularly strong but distinctive sound of mechanical rotation came down from above their heads.
The magic airship landed steadily in the open space not far from Marquis Southgaard. The hatch opened and Xu Yi walked out.
Marquis Southgaard immediately greeted him with a big smile.
"President Xu, welcome to visit again."
Xu Yi quickly walked a few steps, bowed slightly to the Marquis of Southgaard, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
"No, I didn't wait for a long time. I just waited for President Cantona and the others, and President Xu, you are here. Didn't you make an appointment long ago?"
"It's just a coincidence." Xu Yi responded casually, then turned to look at the convoys still parked in the distance, and then said to the Marquis of Southgaard: "Your Majesty, why don't you first take a look at the goods we transported this time? ?”
"Okay." Marquis Southgaard agreed without hesitation, and even hurriedly walked towards the convoy behind him in a hurry.
Seeing his fast pace, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and quickly followed him.
Twenty large freight magic locomotives were taken away from this convoy by President Cantona, leaving a total of seventy-three.
Xu Yi took the Marquis of Southgaard to take a look at the forty large freight magic locomotives in front and found that they were all filled with various farmland magic machines.
These farmland magic machines were all ordered by various nobles in the Malo Empire from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Only a small part of them belonged to the Marquis of Southgaard, but the vast majority belonged to others who had a closer relationship with the Marquis of Southgaard. But the nobles who have no chance to cooperate with the Cantona Chamber of Commerce for the time being.
Among the last thirty-three large magic freight motorcycles, the first twenty-three hit all kinds of household magic machines and some engineering magic machines currently developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as well as bicycles and other non-magic machines. , but it is also a product created by Magic Machine Tool.
There are less than five copies of each of these things. The purpose of transporting them this time is not to meet the needs of the Marquis of Southgaard, but for other purposes.
As for the last ten large freight magic locomotives, they were loaded with the things that Marquis Southgaard cared about most. (To be continued...)
