The raincloth covering the trunk of the large freight magic locomotive was pulled away, revealing the white packages that filled the rear compartment.

The Marquis of Southgate took a deep breath, smelled the special smell coming out of the white package, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "These are all fertilizers?"

Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes." Lord Marquis, these ten carts contained a total of 200 tons of fertilizer, all from the Moon Shadow Clan. Elder Lisanya of the Lunaris Clan asked me to greet you when I see you. ”

"The Elven Elder?" the corners of Marquis Southgate's mouth twitched, with a strange expression.

When he was inspecting the Lampari Kingdom and the Duchy of Stantin, the Marquis of Southgate was shocked to learn that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was actually connected with the elves, and even cooperated with the elves to open a chamber of commerce.

Later, when he learned that fertilizer, a commodity that was important for the growth of crops, was completely in the hands of the Elven tribe of the Moon Shadow tribe, Marquis Southgate felt even more strange.

Making a deal with elves?

This is a very new experience.

However, when he actually made formal contact with the elven representatives sent by the Moon Shadow tribe to negotiate the purchase of fertilizer, the elves of the Moon Shadow tribe were almost no different from human merchants except for their different appearances from humans.

If you really want to compare, the elves of the Lunaris tribe are more detailed in detail than the human merchants, so that the Marquis of Southgate can hardly find any mistakes.

And the Lisanya Elder of the Moon Shadow Clan had not seen Marquis Southgate before, but now because of this transaction between the two parties, he specially asked Xu Yi to bring greetings. This is really the standard way of human communication. It is completely inconsistent with the style of the arrogant elves.

"Could it be that President Xu said that casually......" Marquis Southgate shook his head. Throwing away these nonsense thoughts, he and Xu Yi checked the past and confirmed that all the ten large freight magic locomotives were loaded with urgently needed fertilizers, and they were immediately full of joy.

Seeing that it was about to be the time of spring ploughing, this spring ploughing not only cultivated an additional 300 hectares of farmland with the assistance of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, but also had a large amount of fertilizer to support, if according to the number provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as well as the number obtained by the Marquis of Southgate himself in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Statein. By the time of the autumn harvest, the yield of wheat on his private estate would have increased by at least 1,000 tons.

That's a staggering number.

You must know that in the past, his private territory could only receive more than 400 tons at most during the autumn harvest every year, but now it can be more than doubled at once, which is undoubtedly quite exaggerated.

If it weren't for the Marquis of Southgate who had seen it with his own eyes in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Statein, he would never have believed such an exaggerated thing.

After a brief inspection, the Marquis of Southgate waved his hand and asked the men who had been prepared to assist the convoy to unload the goods, and he invited Xu Yi into the private estate.

"Chairman Xu, the people from the military department arrived yesterday and are waiting inside. "I'm about to enter the living room. The Marquis of Southgate reminded Xu Yi in a low voice.

Xu Yi was slightly stunned, thinking that the people in the military department of the Maro Empire were very positive. I actually waited here for my arrival a day in advance.

Compared with the arrogance and insolence of the Candela Empire, the appearance of the military department of the Maro Empire can be described as full of sincerity.

Entering the living room, I saw three men wearing the military uniforms of the Marlo Empire seated separately, and when I saw Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate coming in together, they all fixed their eyes on Xu Yi.

The Marquis of Southgate let out a well-timed laugh and said, "Come, President Xu, let me introduce you." All three of them are from the Imperial Military Department, and they are subordinate to the Intelligence Department, the Logistics Department, and the Operational Staff Department of the Military Department. ”

After saying this, the Marquis of Southgate introduced the names of the three of them again, and then introduced Xu Yi to the three of them.

"President Xu, I've heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be much younger than I thought, which really surprised me. ”

The first to stretch out his hand and shake hands with Xu Yi was Viscount Eto'o from the Logistics Department of the Military Department of the Maro Empire.

Compared to the slightly scrutinizing attitude of the other two, this Viscount Eto'o treated Xu Yi much more enthusiastically.

Xu Yi shook hands with him with a smile, and responded: "It doesn't matter if you're young or not, the important thing is whether the things of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are good or not, aren't they?"

Viscount Eto'o laughed and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, President Xu is really a straightforward person, I like it very much." President Xu, I hope that we can cooperate smoothly. “

Xu Yi smiled and nodded.

After greeting each other, the two sides sat down, and after a few small talks led by the Marquis of Southgate, the topic was quickly brought to the point.

"President Xu, today the three of us are from the Logistics Department, the Operations Staff Department, and the Intelligence Agency, and I think you should be able to see that the Imperial Military Department attaches great importance to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I hope that in today's dialogue, President Xu, you will be able to show some sincerity. Viscount Eto'o said.

"The Duchy of Stantin is more than 2,000 kilometers away from here, if there is no sincerity, why should I run so far in vain?" Xu Yi smiled.

"Well, that's good. Viscount Eto'o nodded approvingly. "President Xu, since I spoke first, let me express my intention on behalf of the Logistics Department. ”

Xu also made a gesture of please.

Etoolo groaned and continued, "Our Logistics Department's focus is slightly different from the rest of the military department, and we are more concerned with things that can improve logistics and supply than on military magic machinery. Personally, I'm most interested in the big freight magic locomotives that are parked outside. ”

Xu Yi smiled, not surprised.

Compared to traditional horse-drawn carriages, the advantages of freight magic locomotives in terms of transportation are obvious.

It has only been more than three years since the launch of the magic locomotive by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and there are almost no horse-drawn carriages in several surrounding countries such as the Kingdom of Lampari, the Duchy of Stantin, and the Kingdom of Ruerson.

Even if there is, it is mostly used by some people for nostalgia.

For the nobles who were very fond of horse-drawn carriages before, they have now all been replaced by more comfortable and fast magic cars.

As for freight, the Filson Transport Chamber of Commerce, which has been fully equipped with freight magic locomotives, has now become the largest transportation and logistics association in those countries, and other chambers of commerce that have demand for logistics and transportation have also replaced freight carriages with freight magic locomotives.

Last year alone, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sold more than 37,000 large freight magic locomotives, more than 52,000 medium-sized freight magic locomotives, but the sales of small freight magic locomotives suitable for families were average, and less than 10,000 were sold.

But added up, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce made a huge profit of more than one million gold coins from the cargo magic locomotive last year, which can be regarded as a very important profit point for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"With all due respect, although I would love to be able to provide you with large quantities of large freight magic locomotives, given the current state of the roads in your country, it may be difficult for you to fully utilize them even if you are equipped with large freight magic locomotives. Xu Yidao.

The Marquis of Southgate and the three of them looked at each other, their faces a little embarrassed.

Xu Yi's words are simply a naked contempt for the Maro Empire, but they still have nothing to say.

The three of Eto'o personally went to the newly built highway in the southwest province of the Maro Empire to conduct a field investigation, and after seeing the flatness of the road, even they themselves could no longer stand the potholed so-called official roads in the Maro Empire, and what could they use to refute Xu Yi.

The Marquis of Southgate had seen the convenience of roads in the Duchy of Drak, and later in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Stantin, he had personally experienced the great improvement of the road transportation network on travel and transportation, which made him deeply aware of this.

He had long called on the Empire to pave more roads and improve the road traffic situation in the Empire, but he never paid attention to it.

Now that Xu Yi said this, he actually agreed very much in his heart, but it was just because of his face that he was not able to speak out to support him.

"Ahem...... Regarding the paving of roads, the empire is actually very concerned, and Chairman Xu does not have to worry. But that doesn't have much to do with what we're talking about today. Chairman Xu, you should know that our Logistics Department needs to purchase these large freight magic locomotives, apparently in order to be able to provide logistical supplies to the armies in various places. Then, since it is used by the army, it is certainly impossible to ensure that there are roads everywhere. So I would like to ask, can these cargo magic locomotives produced by your new flying chamber of commerce operate well on the harsh road surface?" Eto'o asked again.

"If you're referring to those large freight magic locomotives outside right now......" Xu Yi paused slightly, met the concerned eyes of the four people, and slowly shook his head. "I'm sorry, but these large freight magic locomotives can operate on average poor roads, but they don't have the same off-road ability, so it's hard to do what you're asking for. ”

"Is that so?" Eto'o exhaled in disappointment. "If that's the case, then there will be far less room for these large freight magic locomotives. After all, the Empire's army may appear in a harsh environment at any time, and it is impossible to have a road connection at any time. ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, Viscount Eto'o, I'm just saying that these large freight magic locomotives outside can't fully meet your requirements, but it doesn't mean that other freight magic locomotives can't either." ”

Eto'o's eyes lit up: "What do you mean ......?"

Xu Yi smiled and took out a copy of the text from his bag: "Look, this is a magic locomotive with super off-road ability that our Chamber of Commerce is developing, and I think it should be able to meet your requirements for normal operation in harsh road environments......" (To be continued......
