Chapter 3 Various Inconveniences in the Empire
Freeman and his colleagues are working hard against the turbulent river to repair the broken bridge. President Cruise and Franklin are also trying their best to find a solution in the mud in order to smooth the road. [,
However, the core figures of the entire cooperation this time—Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate, are sitting firmly in the spacious and bright room at this moment, holding a cool and delicious fruit drink in their hands, drinking it while looking out the window Occasionally dripping raindrops, the expression is leisurely and comfortable.
This is the private estate of the Southgate family, located in the very center of the entire territory of the Southgate family, more than 20 kilometers away from the magic industrial base under construction.
Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate sat here, of course, not as leisurely and comfortable as they seemed on the surface, but came to conduct a very important discussion.
Although the Marquis of Southgate is not considered the top nobleman in the Marlow Empire, nor the Southgate family can be regarded as the top family in the Marlow Empire, but the Marquis of Southgate will fly to the Chamber of Commerce and a series of other responses The chambers of commerce called by Xu Yi introduced their own private territory and built a so-called magic industrial base, but it still attracted the attention of countless people in the Maro Empire.
Anyone who is familiar with the Marquis of Southgate knows that the Marquis is very fond of accepting some new things, and will always come up with something that looks very weird, but the things he does are always targeted, never in the real world. nonsense.
Because many things he did before were considered nonsense, but the final facts always proved that he was right, so in the long run, no matter what he did. There will always be many people who are willing to seriously analyze the meaning it represents.
This time, Marquis Southgate suddenly brought back an equally unknown small chamber of commerce from a small principality whose name had never been heard more than a thousand kilometers away from the Marlow Empire. And publicized to cooperate with this chamber of commerce. The establishment of a so-called "magic industrial base" in his own private territory surprised everyone.
Although the previous deeds of Marquis Southgate prevented people from ridiculing this immediately, everyone still had great doubts about this matter.
What qualifications does this small chamber of commerce from a small principality have to cooperate with a marquis of the majestic Maro Empire?
Generally speaking, they should be extremely grateful to Dade if they can be given a little attention by Marquis Southgate?
However, the attitude shown by Marquis Southgate made everyone even more puzzled.
Whether in public or in private, the Marquis of Southgate highly respected this small chamber of commerce called "Xinfei Chamber of Commerce", and even said that this Xinfei Chamber of Commerce might change the face of the entire Marlowe Empire. Bring a revolutionary change to the entire empire.
This evaluation is really surprising, so much so that even Duke Markaros, the old friend of Marquis Southgate, trusts him on weekdays, but now when he sees Xu Yi, there is still no trace of suspicion in his eyes. .
"President Xu, you said that using your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's farmland magic machinery can increase our autumn harvest efficiency several times and shorten the entire autumn harvest time to one week? Are you kidding?" Duke Macaros frowned, asked suspiciously.
In fact, if it wasn't for the sake of his old friend Marquis Southgate, this Xu Yi would dare to speak so brazenly in front of him. He will definitely drive him out the first time.
What a joke! For such an important and busy matter as the autumn harvest, this kid who seemed to be in his early thirties dared to say that it only took a week to completely solve it. This is simply an insult to my IQ!
"No, I'm serious." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Actually, if I have a sufficient number of farmland magic machines and enough experienced manpower, I can even compress this time to three days."
"Three days?" Duke Macaroth's eyes widened with disbelief. "How is this possible! You can't even walk through the wheat fields on my territory in three days, and you still want to finish harvesting? Hey, Dayoren, where did you find this kid to amuse me?"
The Marquis of Southgate put down the fruit cold drink in his hand, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I have already decided to hand over all the tasks of this year's autumn harvest in the territory to the one who came with Chairman Xu..."
"Cantona Chamber of Commerce." Xu Yi reminded.
"Oh yes, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, they are all in charge. Their president Cantona assured me that all the farmland on my territory will be harvested in at most half a month."
"Half a month? Didn't President Xu just say that it only takes a week?" Duke Macaroth said in astonishment.
"This is just President Cantona's careful estimation of the time." Xu Yi explained with a smile. "Actually, based on the situation in the Principality of Standing and several surrounding countries, one week is already considered long. The reason why President Cantona gave half a month is because he is not familiar with the environment here. Besides, there is another very important reason..."
Having said this, Xu Yi paused, with a hesitant expression.
Marquis Southgate laughed, waved his hands and said, "President Xu, there is nothing wrong with that. The reason you mentioned must be that the roads in my territory are too bad, right?"
Xu Yi sighed helplessly: "Yes. Lord Marquis, all the roads in your territory are simply unbearable in my opinion. If you want the magic machinery in the farmland to pass smoothly and complete the harvest, I am afraid it will be for nothing. A lot of time wasted."
"Well, I know that too. But there is no way, President Cruise also said that it will take at least two to three years to complete the reconstruction of the road traffic network in my territory. And they have to first The road leading to the Kingdom of Falk must be built."
On the side, Duke Macaroth listened to the conversation between the two in a daze. Hearing this, he finally couldn't help interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Hey, Dajoren, why do you put so much emphasis on this what... road? Is this thing so good?"
Marquis Southgate glanced at him: "The road from Southwest Province to Falk Kingdom has been built for more than 100 kilometers. Have you visited it?"
"No. I don't have time for that."
"Well, you haven't seen it yourself. That kid Seymour always mentioned it to you when he went back? I don't believe he didn't complain about how bad the roads in our Marlow Empire are after he came back."
"Don't mention that kid to me!" Hearing the word "Seymore". Duke Macaroth immediately looked angry. "This kid has been complaining about this inconvenience every day since he came back. The most inconvenient complaint is that the road at home is too bad, which prevents him from driving around in his precious magic car. Dayoren, I began to regret letting him go out with you twice, it made him feel wild now, and wished he didn't stay at home every day."
The Marquis of Southgate laughed loudly: "I can't blame me. If you want to complain, you might as well complain about President Xu and their Duchy of Standing so well. To be honest, not only Seymour, but even me In the end, it was all kinds of discomfort. Compared with when we were in the Principality of Standing, various places in our Maro Empire are really inconvenient."
Duke Macaroth glanced at him suspiciously, then at Xu Yi.
"The Principality of Standing is really as good as you said? It's just a small principality that can't even be found on the map. Can it compare with our Marlow Empire?"
"Philip, if you still hold such stubborn thoughts, you will be eliminated by this era soon." Marquis Southgate suddenly straightened his face, and pointed to Duke Macaroth's back with a serious expression. "Not to mention, have you seen such a convenient thing before?"
Duke Macaroth turned around and looked at the magic air conditioner hanging on the wall. Feeling the refreshing cool wind blowing from it, I was silent for a moment. Nod slightly.
"I never thought that there is such a thing in this world. Compared with arranging a large frost circle, this magic air conditioner is not only much cheaper, but also much more convenient and comfortable. I must admit that this is a good thing .”
"You admit that the magic air conditioner is a good thing, but what do you think of this magic refrigerator?"
Marquis Southgate stood up, opened the magic refrigerator standing behind him against the wall, took out a bottle of chilled juice drink and a bottle of red wine, brought them over and put them on the table.
Seeing the cold air emanating from the red wine bottle that was visible to the naked eye, Duke Macaroth was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Well, this is indeed a good thing."
"Tell you, good things are far more than that. I have been to the Principality of Standing twice, and I have seen too many good things at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Philip, I can guarantee that if you see those things with your own eyes Something, it will definitely surprise you from ear to ear!" Marquis Southgate raised his voice.
"You don't need to say more about this, that kid Seymour has already mentioned it to me countless times." Duke Macaros turned his head and looked directly at Xu Yi. "But the things you mentioned are different from the farmland magic machinery. I believe that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can produce these novel gadgets, but I doubt whether the farmland magic machinery that President Xu said is so magical."
Stared at by Duke Macaroth's sharp eyes, Xu Yi didn't look nervous at all, and smiled: "Master Duke, if you really don't believe me, I suggest you wait and see for a while, and wait for the Duke to come back in a few months." After the results of the autumn harvest on the Lord's territory come out, we will make a judgment."
Both Duke Macaroth and Marquis Southgate were taken aback.
"President Xu, do you want to give up?" Marquis Southgate frowned. "I finally persuaded Philip to come to meet you. How could you give up so easily?"
"No, I just don't want to make it difficult for others. And I have full confidence in the farmland magic machinery produced by our chamber of commerce and the Cantona chamber of commerce. I believe that after the autumn harvest in your territory, Lord Marquis, Lord Duke will definitely know to discover the benefits of farmland magic machinery.”
After a pause, Xu Yi continued: "But I have to remind you, Lord Duke, at that time, you will definitely not be the only one who can see this. And what our chamber of commerce can currently provide to the Maro Empire The number of farmland magic machines is limited, and I'm afraid they won't be able to give you priority at that time."
Duke Macaroth's expression changed: "Young man, are you threatening me?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "No, I'm just explaining the facts." (To be continued...)
