Although on the frontal battlefield, the army of the Ruerson Kingdom defeated the army of the Candela Empire and could not match it, but when General McHale led the remaining subordinates all the way into the territory of the Candela Empire for 300 kilometers, the Ruerson Kingdom immediately chose to retreat, without any intention of continuing the deep pursuit.

After withdrawing from the Candela Empire, the Kingdom of Luxon simply strengthened its defenses on the border, and did nothing more.

And the Candela Empire, after its first two crushing defeats, also fell silent.

The border between the two countries has returned to its former calm, as if there had never been a major war.

But it is clear to everyone that this calm is nothing more than an illusion.

As one of the two major empires on the continent, the Candela Empire has now tasted a crushing defeat in a small country like the Ruerson Kingdom, and if it can't get back face, it will have a serious impact on the status of the Candela Empire on the entire Sainz continent.

So the Candela Empire will definitely make a comeback, and this time it will come again, of course, there will be no contempt for the Ruerson Kingdom as it did on the previous two occasions.

Everyone believed that with the strength of the Candela Empire, which was far stronger than the Ruerson Kingdom, it was possible to suffer one or two losses on the Ruerson Kingdom, but there was no problem in successfully defeating the Ruerson Kingdom in the end.

Of course, this takes some time to prepare.

After the second confrontation between the two countries, the time had advanced to the winter of 3789 in the continental calendar.

The weather in other parts of the Sainz continent has begun to cool down significantly, and although the Maro Empire in the north of the continent has a huge territory, most parts of the country have begun to show signs of winter cold.

The private fiefdom of the Marquis of Southgate was located in the southwestern part of the Marlo Empire. It is closer to the middle of the continent. At this point, it didn't feel particularly cold.

But for those who live in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Stanting, which have a similar winter to spring and autumn in other countries. The current temperature in the Marquis of Southgate's private domain already made them feel a chill.

A cold wind blew, and President Cantona couldn't help but shiver and tighten the leather jacket on his body, which made him feel a little warmer.

Turning his head to see Baron Franklin beside him, he found that he was wearing only a thin single coat, and he was not even fully buttoned, but he still stopped. I don't feel the slightest chill.

President Cantona couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this young man is different, his ability to resist the cold is countless times stronger than that of him, an old man over forty.

"Hey, Franklin, when will the Marquis be back?" asked President Cantona.

Baron Franklin withdrew his gaze from the distance and replied with a smile, "Grandpa said he would be back for dinner, so I think I'll be back in a while." ”

"Well, that's good. President Cantona nodded. "Today, the first phase of this farmland transformation project is about to be completed, and the Marquis needs to come back in person to do the acceptance. If you have any opinions, you can do your best to put them forward. It's the New Year. Those guys in the Chamber of Commerce are in a hurry to go back for the New Year. ”

"Actually, if it's just acceptance, I can represent grandpa. But grandpa said it. Your Cantona Chamber of Commerce has done the territory a great favor this time, and the two sides will continue to cooperate for a long time in the future, so in order to strengthen the relationship between them, you must stay here for a few more days. Baron Franklin smiled.

"Oh?" said President Cantona, giving Baron Franklin a surprised look.

Since the autumn harvest, he has been here for nearly three months with his men from the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Marquis of Southgate and Baron Franklin, who represented him as overseer, were more polite to them during this period, President Cantona could see that this politeness was only a courtesy of the nobles based on their own cultivation, and did not mean that they valued themselves much.

Of course, this is understandable, after all, the other party is the Marquis of the Marlo Empire, and he is a top big man in the entire Sainz Continent, and there are countless levels of difference between them and their small chamber of commerce, and being able to maintain the politeness on the surface is already quite cultivated, and most of the reasons are probably for the face of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now, however, President Cantona was well aware that Baron Franklin was speaking with a very clear sincerity, and that it was clearly not an ordinary politeness and perfunctory.

Looking at the sincere smile on Baron Franklin's face, President Cantona had some doubts in his heart.

What is the reason for 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 relationship with the Marquis of Southgate, which is of great help to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to open up the market within the Maro Empire.

For example, during this year's autumn harvest, when the Cantona Chamber of Commerce shone in the harvest on the Marquis of Southgate's private domain, through the Marquis of Southgate's intermediate contact, many other nobles of the Marlo Empire also approached the Cantona Chamber of Commerce and asked them to assist in completing the harvest of their private domain.

In the period of about a month and a half of the autumn harvest, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce completed a total of 50,000 hectares of harvesting tasks, harvesting an average of more than 100 hectares of farmland per day, and helping a total of thirteen nobles to complete the harvest of their private domains.

Such an astonishing efficiency immediately caused great repercussions in the aristocratic circles of the Maro Empire, and before the autumn harvest was completely over, countless nobles of the Marlo Empire contacted the Marquis of Guò Sosgade or directly approached the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, hoping that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce would help them complete the harvest on their private territory next spring.

For these nobles, although the Cantona Chamber of Commerce needs a certain fee to assist in the harvest, because it can save a lot of labor, it is more profitable to make a difference.

Moreover, the harvesting efficiency of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is extremely high, and the waste of food in the harvesting process is incredibly low, so no matter how you calculate it, it is more cost-effective than harvesting it yourself.

The current Cantona Chamber of Commerce can be said to have made a name for itself in the Marlo Empire, and even if there is no Marquis Southgate to contact it, it can still open up the situation in the Maro Empire.

Of course, President Cantona was not so short-sighted, he still firmly gave the Marquis of Southgate the greatest support, and was the first to transform the Marquis of Southgate's private land, helping the Marquis of Southgate to reclaim about 300 hectares of new farmland.

In this way, if the newly cultivated 300 hectares of farmland are planted the following year, the harvest on the Marquis of Southgate's personal domain will be at least half by the next autumn.

"Maybe it's because I'm so pleased with this result that I change my attitude?" President Cantona thought about it, and nodded to Baron Franklin, "Well, since the Marquis has made an invitation, how can I refuse it." I still have a lot of questions to discuss with the Marquis, and I hope to be able to communicate with the Marquis in the next few days. ”

"Grandpa must be more than happy to communicate with you. Baron Franklin laughed.

After a few more conversations, Baron Franklin left, and President Cantona oversaw the progress of the farmland renovation work for a while, and boarded a passing freight magic locomotive to the magical industrial base west of the Marquis of Southgate's private domain.

After nearly half a year of construction, this base has begun to take shape, and several factories are nearing completion, and it is expected to be officially put into production early next year.

The chambers of commerce to which these factories belong are now recruiting a large number of workers through the Marquis of Southgate in preparation for the start of construction next year.

According to the agreement reached between Xu Yi and the Marquis of Southgate, the workers recruited by these factories will mainly come from the Marquis of Southgate's personal domain, but because the Marquis Southgate's private domain does not provide enough workers, it will also need to be recruited externally.

The Marquis of Southgate gave these extra places to his friend Duke Macarus, and estimated that he would recruit about 3,000 to 4,000 workers from among the people of his personal domain.

And because this will affect the labor force of the Duke of Macarus, so now the Duke of Macarus has submitted a request to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce through the Marquis of Guò Sosgade, hoping that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will also carry out the corresponding overall transformation of the farmland on the Duke of Macarus's private land.

At the same time, both the Marquis of Southgate and the Duke of Macarus made orders for various types of farmland magic machinery to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and obtained the consent of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

If nothing else, within three years at most, the two of them's private domains will be fully mechanized farming, just like the current Lampari Kingdom and other countries.

This result will certainly affect the current income of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, but President Cantona is not surprised.

When countries such as the Kingdom of Lampari 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 that the Maro Empire is several times larger than the Lampari Kingdom and other countries combined, he is confident enough to find his own space in it.

Moreover, President Cantona's ambitions don't stop there.

After arriving at the industrial base, President Cantona directly approached Riley, the director of engineering at the Amritra Chamber of Commerce, who was still here in charge of the construction of the industrial base, and asked him his own questions.

Why did the Marquis of Southgate suddenly become so enthusiastic and positive?

Riley then gave President Cantona an answer that he didn't expect.

"Quite simply, because the Kingdom of Ruersun has won the battle against the Cantona Empire. ”

President Cantona blinked, looking inexplicable.

In between...... How is it connected? (To be continued......
