Chapter 51 Attitude Change
Although on the frontal battlefield, the army of the Rulson Kingdom defeated the army of the Candela Empire and was unable to match, but when General McHale led the remaining subordinates all the way into the territory of the Kandla Empire for 300 kilometers, the Rulson Kingdom But he immediately chose to retreat, without any intention of continuing to chase.
After withdrawing from the territory of the Candela Empire, the Rulson Kingdom simply strengthened the defense force on the border, without any other actions.
After the previous two disastrous defeats, the Candela Empire also fell silent.
The border between the two countries has regained 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 on the mainland, the Candela Empire has suffered a disastrous defeat in a small country like the Rulson Kingdom. If it cannot regain its face, it will have a serious impact on the status of the Candela Empire in the entire Sainz continent. influences.
Therefore, the Candela Empire will definitely make a comeback, and this time, of course, it will not show any contempt for the Rulson Kingdom like the previous two times.
Everyone believes that with the strength of the Candela Empire far stronger than the Rulson Kingdom, it is possible to suffer a loss or two from the Rulson Kingdom, but there is no problem in defeating the Rulson Kingdom in the end.
Of course, this takes some time to prepare.
After the end of the second confrontation between the two countries, the time has advanced to the winter of 3789 in the mainland calendar.
The weather in other places on the Sainz Continent has begun to cool down significantly. Among them, the Maro Empire, which is located in the north of the continent, has a huge territory, but most places in the country have begun to show signs of winter cold.
Marquis Southgate's private domain is located in the southwestern part of the Marlow Empire. It is closer to the middle of the mainland. At this time, it still didn't make people feel particularly cold.
But for people who live in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Standing all year round, the winter is similar to the spring and autumn in other countries. The current temperature on Marquis Southgate's private domain already made them feel a bit chilly.
A gust of cold wind blew in, and President Cantona couldn't help shivering. He tightened his leather jacket and felt warmer.
Turning around to see Baron Franklin next to him, he found that he was only wearing a thin single coat, which was not even fully buttoned, but still stopped. It doesn't look like he feels the slightest bit of cold.
President Cantona couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this young man is just different, his ability to resist the cold is countless times stronger than that of an old man who is over forty.
"Hey, Franklin, when will Lord Marquis come back?" President Cantona asked.
Baron Franklin withdrew his gaze from the distance, and replied with a smile: "Grandpa said he would be back for dinner, so I think he will be back in a while."
"Well, that's good." President Cantona nodded. "Today, the first phase of the farmland renovation project is about to be completed, and the Lord Marquis needs to come back to do an inspection in person. If you have any comments, you should put them forward as soon as possible. It seems that it is the New Year. Those guys in the chamber of commerce But they are all anxious to go back for the New Year.”
"Actually, if it's just for acceptance, I can represent grandpa with full power. But grandpa said. 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. Therefore, in order to consolidate the relationship between each other, You must stay here for a few more days." Baron Franklin smiled.
"Oh?" President Cantona looked at Baron Franklin with some surprise.
Since the autumn harvest, he has been here for nearly three months with the men of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Marquis Southgate and Baron Franklin, who represented him as the supervisor, were more polite to them during this period, President Cantona could see that this kind of politeness was just a politeness based on the nobles' self-cultivation. Doesn't mean they value themselves much.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, the other party is the Marquis of the Maro Empire. He is a top figure in the entire Sains Continent. He is countless levels away from their small chamber of commerce. It is quite impressive to be able to maintain the superficial politeness. Self-cultivation, and most of the reasons are probably because of the face of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, now President Cantona clearly noticed that Baron Franklin contained very obvious sincerity when he said this, and it was obviously not ordinary politeness and perfunctory.
Seeing the sincere smile on Baron Franklin's face, President Cantona was a little puzzled.
What caused such a sudden change in their attitude?
But on second thought, it doesn't really matter.
Because in fact, Cantona himself also wants to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Marquis Southgate, which will greatly help the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to open up the market in the Maro Empire.
For example, during the autumn harvest this year, when the Cantona Chamber of Commerce made great achievements in the harvest on the private territory of Marquis Southgate, through the intermediary contact of Marquis Southgate, many other nobles from the Marlow Empire also found The Cantona Chamber of Commerce asked them to assist their private territories to complete the harvest.
During the one and a half months of the autumn harvest, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce completed a total of 50,000 hectares of harvesting tasks, with an average of more than 100 hectares of farmland harvested every day, helping a total of 13 nobles complete the harvest on their private land.
Such astonishing efficiency immediately aroused great repercussions in the noble circles of the Maro Empire. Before the autumn harvest was completely over, countless nobles of the Maro Empire came to Kane through Marquis Southgate or directly. The Tonna Chamber of Commerce hopes that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will help them complete the harvest on their private land next spring.
For these nobles, although the Cantona Chamber of Commerce needs to charge a certain fee for assisting in the harvest, because it can save a lot of labor, it is more profitable after all.
Moreover, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce's harvesting efficiency is extremely high, and the waste of food during the harvesting process is unbelievably 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 established a reputation in the Maro Empire. Even without the contact from Marquis Southgate, it can still open up the situation in the Maro Empire.
Of course, President Cantona is not so short-sighted. He still firmly gives the Marquis Southgate the greatest support, and is the first to renovate the farmland on the Marquis Southgate's private territory to help Southgate. The Marquis de Marquis has recultivated about three hundred hectares of farmland.
In this way, as long as the newly reclaimed 300 hectares of farmland are planted in the coming year, the harvest on the Marquis Southgate's private land can be increased by at least half in the next autumn harvest.
"Perhaps it is because you are very satisfied with the result that you changed your attitude towards me?" President Cantona turned this idea in his heart, thought about it, nodded to Baron Franklin and said: "Well, since Mr. Marquis How could I refuse the invitation. I still have a lot of questions to discuss with the Marquis about the farmland renovation, and I hope to have more exchanges with the Marquis in the next few days."
"Grandpa must be very happy to communicate with you." Baron Franklin smiled.
After the two chatted for a while, Baron Franklin had something to leave. President Cantona supervised the progress of the farmland renovation project for a while, and boarded a passing magic freight locomotive to head to the private domain of Marquis Southgate. The magic industrial base to the west.
After nearly half a year of construction, the base has already begun to take shape, and several factories are almost completed, and it is expected to be officially put into production early next year.
Now the Chamber of Commerce to which these factories belong is recruiting a large number of workers through Marquis Southgate to prepare for the start of work in the coming year.
According to the previous agreement reached between Xu Yi and the Marquis of Southgate, the workers recruited by these factories will mainly come from the private territory of the Marquis of Southgate. External recruitment is required.
The Marquis of Southgate gave priority to these extra places to his good friend Duke Macaroth, and it is estimated that he will recruit about 3,000 to 4,000 workers from the people on his private domain.
And because this will affect the labor force on the Duke of Macaroth, now the Duke of Macaroth has made a request to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce through the Marquis of Southgate, hoping that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will also be responsible for the private territory of the Duke of Macaroth. Carry out the corresponding overall transformation of the farmland.
At the same time, both the Marquis of Southgate and the Duke of Macaroth put forward orders for various farmland magic machines to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and obtained the approval of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If there is no accident, within three years at most, the private domain of the two of them will realize full-scale mechanized farming like the current Lampari Kingdom and other countries.
This result will of course affect the current income of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, but President Cantona is not surprised by this.
When the Kingdom of Lampari 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 Maro Empire is several times larger than the Lampari Kingdom and other countries combined, and he has enough confidence to find his own living space from it.
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 Amley Chamber of Commerce who stayed here to be in charge of the construction of the industrial base, and asked him the questions in his heart.
Why did Marquis Southgate suddenly become so enthusiastic and positive?
Then Riley gave President Cantona a completely unexpected answer.
"It's very simple, because the Rulson Kingdom defeated the Cantona Empire."
President Cantona blinked, with a puzzled expression on his face.
How are these connected...? (To be continued..)
