Magic Industry Empire

The Marlow Empire is very big.

As one of the two empires of Sainz Continent, the territory of the Marlow Empire is ten times as large as the small country of Lanpali Kingdom.

As for Stantin Duchy, which is several times smaller than Lanpali Kingdom, it is impossible to agree with the Marlow Empire.

Although Xu Yi can’t get accurate numbers, according to his experience in Lanpali Kingdom, the area of ​​Lanpali Kingdom is about the same as that of a middle province in China on Earth.

According to this calculation, the area of ​​the Marlow Empire is almost comparable to the total area of ​​China on Earth, which can definitely be called a huge empire.

However, contrary to Xu Yi’s expectation, the population of this large empire is not at all, like his area is also dozens of times the Lanpali Kingdom.

According to the general data provided by the Marquis of Southgate, the current total population of the Marlow Empire is only about 50 million, just over ten times the total population of Lanpali Kingdom.

Even with the population that each party cannot accurately count, this deviation will not be greater.

With only a population of more than 50 million on such a large area, the population density in the Marlow Empire is extremely low, making Xu Yi, a traverse person from China on Earth, very uncomfortable.

In the private territory of the Marquis of Southgate, if he is in Lanpali Kingdom, then with his Marquis status, the acquisition of the land may be around 50 square kilometers.

But in the Marlow Empire, his private territory was more than an astonishing thousand square kilometers, enough to match the slightly smaller city of Xu Yi’s impression on Earth.

However, in such a large private territory, according to the statistics of the Marquis of Southgate two years ago, the total population is only less than 30,000!

If you put these 30,000 people in a flat position, even if everyone can occupy a huge area of ​​several hectares!

But this brings a problem in the eye.

Aside from the relatives and guards of the Southgate family and the servants in the private estate, and the others, the remaining more than 27,000 people have to leave those old people who are too old and have no ability to work. Young children, so there is only about 15,000 laborers left.

Among the 5,000-plus labor force, there are more than 8,000 women who have a much lower labor force, leaving less than 7,000 young people.

These 7,000 people are the most important labor force that constitutes the private territory of the Marquis of Southgate, and can even be regarded as the most basic and core force of the entire Southgate family.

Now, Xu Yi asked the Marquis of Southgate to provide 10,000 people, which naturally surprised him.

Don’t say that these 7,000 people can’t all be handed over to Xu Yi for their employment. Even if they are all given, it is still more than 3,000 people.

“President Xu …… I remember correctly, the total number of factories that you originally planned to build is only seventeen. Why do you need 10,000 so many?” asked the Marquis of Southgate inexplicably.

“How much?” Xu Yi looked at the Southgate Marquis, who had a bit of reaction, and thought about it and woke up.

He is now used to communicating with the people of Lanpali Kingdom and neighboring countries about the Magic industry, and this has become common sense in those countries, but for the Marlow Empire and the Southgate Marquis, Some beyond their common sense.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi remembered the initial establishment of a new factory in Bunta City for the expansion of the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce, and proposed to the Count Samo, who was still in the Bunta City City Lord, to hire a minimum of 3,000 workers.

When Count Samo heard his request, he was as surprised as the Southgate Marquis, but when Xu Yi gave a comment, Count Samo said he was very happy and actively supported Xu Yi’s ideas.

Because of this, it helped Bunta City solve the problem of more than 3,000 people, which is equivalent to helping him with this City Lord.

The Southgate Marquis is a bit surprised now, but he will never refuse this opportunity.

Then after listening to Xu Yi’s explanation that these factories need a lot of labor to participate, the Southgate Marquis frowned for a while, but shook the head.

“President Xu, I am afraid I can’t solve it. The top priority of these labors in the territory is planting. If the basic food production cannot be guaranteed, then everything else is meaningless. Now I have this in my territory. More than 10,000 people can only be barely able to maintain, but they can’t open up the farmland on the entire territory. If you give 10,000 more people, even if you say those women can… I still can’t accept it.”

Xu Yi is a bit puzzled.

The Southgate Marquis Ming Ming personally went to Lanpali Kingdom and Stantin Duchy for a field trip. So, I don’t know if the farmland does not need that many people to complete it with the help of the farmland Magic Power machinery.

After asking this question to the Marquis of Southgate, he got a slightly embarrassing response.

“This… I only care about the impact of various home Magic machinery and infrastructure, and pay too much attention to the farmland Magic Power machinery. If you don’t propose the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to assist with the harvest, I don’t even know the farmland Magic Power machinery.”

Xu Yi could only turn a blind eye, thinking that before the Marquis of Southgate mentioned buying a part of the farmland Magic Power machinery, he did not expect that he actually did not understand the specific role that the farmland Magic Power machinery can play.

He had to patiently explain to the Marquis of Southgate again, because of the emergence of the farmland Magic Power machinery, how much impact on the farmland cultivation in the Lanpali Kingdom and surrounding countries.

After listening to it, there was a hint of excitement in the Marquis of Southgate.

“It can be like this! No wonder you said that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce can help me solve all the planting problems on the territory. I thought you were joking!”

Xu Yi forcibly resisted the urge to turn a blind eye again and continued: “So, the Marquis, you don’t need to worry about the manpower problem in terms of farmland planting. This year’s autumn harvest is too tight and can only help you harvest.” By the end of the autumn harvest, you can also ask the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to re-integrate all the farmland on your private land, and even ask them to help you plant directly, and you only need to be slightly maintained during the next year. It can be easily harvested.”

Southgate Marquis thought about it and frowned. “But the Cantona Chamber of Commerce can’t stay here all the time.”

“The Cantona Chamber of Commerce also has a branch in the Marlow Empire. If you want, you can contact them directly for each harvest. Of course, if you prefer to do it yourself, it’s easy. You only need to buy enough Farmland Magic Power machinery from our Chamber of Commerce, and then send some people to learn how to operate, you can solve the problem yourself.” Xu Yi patiently.

“Is the Cantona Chamber of Commerce willing to pass on this skill?” Southgate Marquis looked suspiciously at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that this is not a strange skill, and what teaching is not taught.

But after thinking about it, Xu Yi was in the heart, said with a smile: “You can negotiate directly with President Cantona, I think he will be willing to communicate with you.”

“Okay, just do it.” Southgate Marquis nodded, and immediately frowned. “But even if this is the case, you still can’t fill in the manpower you need. The gap is too big.”

“You can completely seek the cooperation of the Duke of Makaros. If you can’t do it, you can also seek the help of other nobles of the empire. Every year, the commission of 30 gold coins per employee, I think I should be able to impress many aristocratic lords like you. “Xu Yi suggested.”

In fact, with Xu Yi’s own ideas, he certainly hopes that all Chamber of Commerce will openly recruit the Marlow Empire society, which will be much more flexible. The Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce and other Chamber of Commerce will also follow. More active.

But now they have come to see it all the time, relying on the relationship of the Marquis of Southgate, but it must be solved by the Marquis of Southgate.

After listening to Xu Yi’s proposal, the Marquis of Southgate was in deep thought, and his face looked uncertain and hesitated.

Xu Yi can understand his hesitation, because it is almost equivalent to letting out the fat of his mouth, who will not be willing.

After a long time, the Southgate Marquis deep into a deep breath, his face turned into a firm, seems to have made up his mind.

“President Xu, you don’t have to worry about this, I will solve it.”

“en?” Southgate Marquis not at all said his solution, Xu Yi could not help but worry.

However, in this case, he also does not show his distrust of the Marquis of Southgate, only nodded to understand.

After the two exchanged ideas about the plan for a while, Xu Yi said that he would go to the Magic Industrial Base to look at the construction and leave the private estate of the Marquis of Southgate.

After driving the Magic Power car out of the manor gate, Xu Yi glanced at the manor behind his face and was deeply sighed.

Before coming to the Marlow Empire, he thought that the Marquis of Southgate had always been very open-minded, so the investment here should be quite smooth.

However, after actually coming here, he found that even if the Marquis of Southgate was enlightened again, and then he was willing to accept new things, he still had some common problems and limitations of the aristocratic lords of this era.

Because of these problems and limitations, Xu Yi was forced to revise many of the previously planned plans to work with the Marquis of Southgate.

Although it does not affect the most basic plans, it makes Xu Yi feel helpless.

In the small countries of Stantin Duchy and even the Lanpali Kingdom, with the influence of the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi wants to change them much simpler, but now that they want to change the behemoth of the Marlow Empire, it has been a bit difficult from the beginning. .

“No way, this is the only way to go.”

Xu Yi smiled and thought that the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce had already taken a solid step towards the entire continent by entering the Marlow Empire, but it still needs to redouble its efforts to make this path go smoothly.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi turned his head and turned his eyes to the south.

Now that the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce has stepped into the Marlow Empire, when can we really take another step into another huge empire, the Cantona Empire? (To be continued.)
