Spring is the season when everything grows.

In the private domain of the Marquis of Southgate, in addition to the wild flowers and weeds everywhere, the oil and green wheat seedlings in the fields, there are also tall factories with a wide area.

This new magical industrial base was supposed to be half completed by the end of last year, but by the beginning of this year, according to the plan, it should have been almost completely completed and fully operational.

It's just that when making the plan, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce underestimated the engineering environment, although it was expected that the winter of the Maro Empire would be earlier than that of countries such as the Lampari Kingdom in the south of the deep continent, but it did not expect to arrive so early, and the cold of winter was several times stronger than that of the Lampari Kingdom, and it was not expected that the winter of the Maro Empire would have such a great melee impact on the project, so that in the end, the scheduled project progress could not be completed before the year.

Fortunately, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the other Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce that came to the Maro Empire to invest and build factories did not expect to be officially put into production in the first year, although the progress was delayed a little, but the impact was not very great, but it could give them more time to prepare.

Then, at the beginning of spring this year, a large number of supplies poured into the Marquis of Southgate's private domain with the freight magic locomotive fleet of various chambers of commerce, and the construction site that had been forced to stop work due to the cold winter was immediately restarted.

Because of sufficient preparations, after the start of construction again, the construction speed of the factory in this magical industrial base is much faster than the previous year.

Judging from the current progress, as long as there are no more accidents, the project will be basically completed in less than six months at most. It's only a month longer than the original plan. Not too much of an exaggeration.

Of course. The construction of these factories could be delayed for a month, and it would not affect anything, but for the large tract of farmland on the Marquis of Southgate's private domain, it would be problematic to delay it for a month, not even a week.

Last year, with the help of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, the Marquis of Southgate nearly tripled the number of farmable land on his private domain, and with the help of magic machines such as the Magic Planter, he planted all the extra farmland with wheat.

Now spring is coming. All of these cultivated farmlands have also grown smoothly, and it seems that there is a bumper harvest again.

But without the help of the Farmland Magic Machine, the Marquis of Southgate could be sure that he would not have enough manpower to harvest it.

So from the first spring breeze, he has already begun to look forward to the arrival of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce again.

One day in early April, he finally waited for the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, he also waited for another group of people that he was looking forward to even more, that is, the convoy from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at the large convoy of freight magic locomotives that stretched out all the way out, forming a long line of at least more than two kilometers on the far road, the Marquis of Southgate couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart.

Except for the logistical mobilization that the empire can only have when it is engaged in war, I usually want to see such a huge convoy galloping on the road. That's a pretty small chance.

And now this fleet is not the traditional freight wagons of the past, but all of the most advanced large freight magic locomotives.

Not to mention that the loading capacity is several times or even more than ten times that of traditional freight carriages. Even speed and endurance are far superior.

Such a convoy of all large freight magic locomotives carried in such a fleet of goods is of course extremely impressive.

At the head of the convoy were twenty large freight molocomotives, all bearing the Cantona Chamber of Commerce logo, and when they reached the confines of the Marquis of Southgate's private estate, President Cantona jumped out of the passenger cab of the first large freight molocomotive.

"Lord Marquis, I'm not late. As soon as he got out of the car, President Cantona laughed and greeted the Marquis of Southgate from afar.

The Marquis of Southgate smiled and nodded, glanced at the long motorline behind him, and then said to President Cantona, "President Cantona, it's been a hard journey. Is this all the cargo magic locomotive of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"

"Of course. Except for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, where can other chambers of commerce make such a big formation now. However, it is not right to say that these cargo magic locomotives belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because they all belong to the Filson Transport Chamber of Commerce, and this time they are just helping the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transport goods. President Cantona replied.

The Marquis of Southgate frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

"The big cargo magic locomotives are all made by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so why don't they build their own transport fleet and let someone else help them transport the goods?"

"I actually asked President Xu this question before. He said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly focuses on the research and manufacturing of magic machinery, and other aspects will leave space for other people and the Chamber of Commerce to get involved, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will try not to interfere. The reason why we don't set up our own transport fleet is probably because of this. ”

The Marquis of Southgate shook his head, still looking a little puzzled.

However, he didn't really care about it, paused, and looked at the team behind him again.

"Since the convoy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has arrived, what about President Xu, why didn't you see him?"

"It took us four days to get all the way here, and President Xu was too busy to waste so much time on the road, so he set off behind us this time. Do the math......" President Cantona replied, but turned and looked up at the sky in the distance behind him. "It's almost there by now. ”

The Marquis of Southgate was stunned, thinking to himself that since Xu Yi set off after you, how could it be that he had already arrived now that you had just arrived?

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, President Cantona suddenly reached out and pointed in the direction he was looking up.

"It's coming!"

The Marquis of Southgate looked up in that direction in astonishment, and saw a black dot rapidly approaching this direction from the distant sky.

After a few moments, the black dot had quickly turned into a black cloud.

Hearing the faint sound of machinery spinning in the distant sky, Marquis Southgate reacted instantly.

"Magic airship? It turns out that President Xu came here on a magic airship?"

"yes, otherwise how could it have arrived so quickly. President Cantona looked back and smiled.

Marquis Southgate stared at the rapidly approaching magical airship in the sky, with a strange expression.

When he was on an expedition to the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Statein. Of course, I have seen the storage of the magic airship with my own eyes. I was even invited by Xu Ye to go up and ride it once.

At that time, he was amazed at the magic of the magic airship. It's just that of course, when he proposed to buy a few ships to bring back to the Marlo Empire, he was diverted by Xu Yi with other topics.

Unexpectedly, now Xu Yi ran over on his own magic airship.

He believed that Xu Yi was by no means doing meaningless things, and this time he came with a magic airship, did it 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 discuss, so I won't bother you here. I'll go and arrange for my workers to get ready. It looks like there are not many days left before the spring harvest, so we have to hurry up. President Cantona said abruptly as he withdrew his gaze to the sky.

"Oh, yes. The Marquis of Southgate was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, beckoned behind him, and summoned Baron Franklin, who had been waiting for a long time.

"President Cantona, you are familiar with Franklin, and I have asked him to assist you in your work during this time. By the way, you don't have to get busy with work today, just unload your things. In the evening I will have a feast at the manor. President Cantona is also invited to attend. ”

President Cantona laughed: "Lord Marquis's banquet, how could I miss it." All right. We'll see you in the evening, Lord Marquis. ”

Leaving these words, President Cantona greeted Baron Franklin, who had already looked excited, and the two of them walked towards the warehouse that the Marquis of Southgate had prepared long ago with the twenty large freight magic locomotives in front of them with the flag of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.

They had barely walked away when the not-so-strong, but distinctive, sound of mechanical rotation was suppressed overhead.

The magic airship landed steadily in the open space not far from the Marquis of Southgate, and the hatch opened, and Xu Yi stepped out of it.

The Marquis of Southgate immediately laughed and greeted him.

"President Xu, welcome back to you. ”

Xu Yi hurriedly walked a few steps, bowed slightly to the Marquis of Southgate, and said with a smile: "Lord Marquis, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”

"No, it didn't take long. It's just that President Cantona has just waited for them, and you're here, President Xu. You can't have made an appointment a long time ago, do you?"

"It's just a coincidence. After Xu Yi casually answered, he turned to look at the convoy that was still parked in the distance, and said to the Marquis of Southgate: "Lord Marquis, why don't you take a look at the goods we have transported this time?"

"Good. The Marquis of Southgate agreed, without hesitation, and even walked quickly towards the convoy behind him with some impatience.

Seeing his fast pace, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and hurriedly followed.

The convoy was taken by President Cantona with twenty large freight magic locomotives, and a full seventy-three remaining.

Xu Yi took Marquis Southgate to take a look at the forty large freight magic locomotives in front of him, and found that they were all loaded with all kinds of farmland magic machinery.

These farmland magic machines were all ordered from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce by various nobles in the Marlo Empire, and only a small part of them belonged to the Marquis of Southgate, and the vast majority belonged to some other nobles who were more closely related to the Marquis of Southgate but had no chance to cooperate with the Cantona Chamber of Commerce for the time being.

Among the last thirty-three large freight magic locomotives, the first twenty-three hit the household magic machinery and some engineering magic machines currently developed by various new flying chambers, as well as bicycles that are not magic machines, but are also products created by magic machine tools.

These were less than five copies each, and the purpose of this shipment was not to meet the needs of the Marquis of Southgate, but to serve them for other purposes.

As for the ten large freight magic locomotives that remained, they were loaded with the things that the Marquis of Southgate cared about most. (To be continued......)
