Magic Industry Empire - 819. Chapter 819

The Marlow Empire is huge.

As one of the two great empires on the Sainz continent, the territory of the Maro Empire is dozens of times larger than that of a small country like the Kingdom of Lampari on the map of the continent alone.

As for the Principality of Stantin, which was several times smaller than the Lampari Kingdom, it couldn’t be compared with the Malo Empire.

Although Xu couldn’t get an accurate figure, based on his experience in the Lampari Kingdom, the area of the Lampari Kingdom is probably about the same as that of a medium province in the Celestial Kingdom on earth.

According to this calculation, the area of the Marlow Empire can almost be compared to the total area of the celestial dynasty on earth, and it can definitely be called a huge empire.

However, to Xu Yi’s surprise, the population in this huge empire was not dozens of times the size of the Lampari Kingdom.

According to the general data provided by the Marquis of Southgate, the current total population of the Marlow Empire is probably only over 50 million, which is only more than ten times the total population of the Lampari Kingdom.

Even if you add the population that both parties cannot accurately count, the deviation will not be greater.

There are only more than 50 million people on such a large area of land, which has caused the population density in the Maro Empire to be extremely low, making Xu Yi, a traveler from the heavenly dynasty on earth, very uncomfortable.

Taking the private domain of the Marquis of Southgate, if he were in the Kingdom of Lampari, then by virtue of his status as a Marquis, the fief would probably be around fifty square kilometers.

But in the Maro Empire, his private realm was over an astonishing one thousand square kilometers, which was enough to be worthy of a slightly smaller city Xu Yi remembered when he was on earth.

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

If these 30,000 people are evenly distributed, even each person can occupy a huge area of several hectares!

But this brings a problem in the eyes.

Regardless of the relatives and guards of the Southgate family and the servants in the private estate, among the remaining approximately 27,000 people, those who are too old and have no labor at all have to be aside. Capable young children, so that only a labor force of about 15,000 people is left.

Among these 5,000 or so labors, there are more than 8,000 women whose labor is much lower, leaving only less than 7,000 young and strong labors.

These seven thousand people constitute the most important labor force in the private domain of the Marquis of Southgate, and can even be regarded as the most basic and core force of the entire Southgate family.

And now Xu Yi asked the Marquis of Southgate for 10,000 people, which naturally surprised him.

Not to mention that he certainly couldn’t give all of these 7,000 people to Xu Yi and the others for employment.

“Chairman Xu…If I remember correctly, the total number of factories you planned to build in the initial stage is only seventeen. Why do you need so many 10,000 people?” asked the Marquis of Southgate inexplicably.

“Are you too many?” Xu Yi glanced at the Marquis of Southgate who had overreacted in surprise, thought for a while, and woke up.

He is now accustomed to communicating with people in the Lampari Kingdom and surrounding countries about the magic industry industry, and this aspect has basically become common sense in those countries, but for the Marlow Empire and Southgate For the Marquis, there was something beyond their common sense.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi remembered the situation when a few factories were built in Bangta City because of the expansion of the New Flying Merchants Association, and he proposed to the Count of Summer, who was still serving as the city lord of Bangta City, when he needed to hire a minimum of 3,000 workers.

When Earl Summer heard his request, he was as surprised as the Marquis of Southgate before him, but after Xu Yi gave some explanation, Earl Summer said he was very happy and actively supported Xu Yi’s ideas.

Because of this, it helped Bangta City solve the work problems of more than 3,000 people, which was tantamount to helping him, the city lord.

Although the Marquis of Southgate in front of him was a little surprised now, he would definitely not refuse this opportunity.

Then, after hearing Xu Yi’s explanation of the need for a large amount of labor in these factories, the Marquis of Southgate frowned and thought for a while, but shook his head.

“Chairman Xu, I’m afraid I can’t solve this. The top priority for these labors in the territory is planting. If the most basic food production is not guaranteed, then everything else is meaningless. Now what I have on my territory These more than 10,000 people can only be barely maintained, but they still can’t reclaim all the farmland on the entire territory. If you give it to 10,000 more people, even if you say those women can do it…I still can’t accept it.”

Xu was also a little puzzled.

The Marquis of Southgate obviously went to the Kingdom of Lampari and Duchy of Stantin to conduct field trips in person. Don’t you know that with the help of farmland’s magic machinery, farming can now be completed without so many people?

After raising this question to the Marquis of Southgate, he received a slightly embarrassing response.

“This… I just pay attention to the impact of various household magic machinery and infrastructure, and I don’t pay much attention to farmland magic machinery. If it weren’t for your proposal to let the Cantona Chamber of Commerce assist in the harvest, I would even I don’t even know about farmland magic machinery.”

Xu Yi could only roll his eyes, thinking that although the Marquis of Southgate had mentioned buying a part of farmland magic machinery, he didn’t expect that he actually didn’t understand the specific role that farmland magic machinery could play.

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

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

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

Xu Yi forcibly resisted the urge to roll his eyes again, and continued: “So, Lord Marquis, regarding farmland planting, you don’t need to worry about manpower at all. This year’s autumn harvest is too short of time and can only be in time to help you harvest. But When the autumn harvest is over, you can also ask the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to reintegrate, plan and reclaim all the farmland on your private territory, and even ask them to directly help you plant the seeds, and you only need to have someone do some maintenance during the next year. It can be harvested easily.”

The Marquis of Southgate thought for a while and frowned, “But the Cantona Chamber of Commerce can’t stay here forever.”

“The Cantona Chamber of Commerce has also established a branch in the Marlow Empire. If you wish, you can directly contact them for help every time you harvest and plant seeds. Of course, if you prefer to do these tasks yourself, it’s easy. . You only need to buy enough farmland magic machinery from our chamber of commerce, and then send some people to learn how to operate, and then you can solve the problem yourself.” Xu Yi patiently and authentically.

“Will the Cantona Chamber of Commerce be willing to teach this skill?” The Marquis of Southgate looked at Xu Yi suspiciously.

Xu Yi couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that this is not a rare skill, and there is nothing to teach.

But after thinking about it, Xu Yi moved in his heart and smiled: “You can negotiate directly with President Cantona. I think he will be very willing to communicate with you.”

“Okay, that’s it.” The Marquis of Southgate nodded, then frowned again. “But even so, I still can’t fill in the manpower you need. The gap is too big.”

“You can seek the cooperation of Duke Macaros. If it is not possible, you can also seek the help of other nobles in the empire. The commission of 30 gold coins per employee every year, I think it should be able to impress many noble lords like you. “Yes.” Xu Yi suggested.

In fact, according to Xu Yi’s own ideas, he certainly hopes that all chambers of commerce openly recruit from the entire Maro Empire society, so that it will be much more flexible in handling, and the new flying chamber of commerce and other chambers of commerce will also take more initiative.

But now that they have arrived for the first time after all, they rely on the relationship between the Marquis of Southgate, but they must be resolved through the Marquis of Southgate.

After listening to Xu Yi’s suggestion, the Marquis of Southgate fell into deep thought, with an uncertain expression on his face and a little hesitant.

Xu Yi can understand his hesitation, because this is almost equivalent to giving up a piece of fat in his mouth, and no one will be willing.

After a long time, the Marquis of Southgate took a deep breath, his expression turned firm, as if he had made up his mind.

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

“Huh?” The Marquis of Southgate didn’t say his solution, and Xu Yi couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

However, in this case, he is not good at showing his distrust of the Marquis of Southgate, so he can only nod his head to express his understanding.

After the two exchanged their plans for a period of time in the future, Xu Yi said that he would go to the Magic Industrial Base to check the construction situation, and left the private manor of the Marquis of Southgate.

After driving the magic car out of the gate of the manor, Xu Yi glanced sideways at the vast manor behind him, and sighed deeply.

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 he really came here, he discovered that no matter how enlightened the Marquis of Southgate, no matter how willing to accept new things, he still has some common problems and limitations of the noble lords of this world.

Because of these problems and limitations, Xu Yi has been forced to revise a lot of previously formulated plans these days, trying to cooperate with the Marquis of Southgate.

Although it will not affect the most basic plan, Xu Yi feels helpless.

In the small countries such as the Principality of Stantin and even the Kingdom of Lampari, with the influence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi wants to change them much easier, but now if he wants to change the behemoth of the Maro Empire, he has been from the beginning. Some are struggling.

“No way, this is the only way to go.”

Xu Yi smiled bitterly, thinking that although the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has already taken a solid step towards the entire continent by entering the Maro Empire, it still needs to work harder if it wants to go on this road smoothly.

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

Now that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has stepped into the Marlow Empire one step at a time, when can it really take another step into another huge empire-the Cantona Empire?
