Volume 6 Chapter 7 Magic Machine Industry Academy

Freeman and the others had arrived at Marquis Southgate’s territory several days late because of the poor road conditions and the broken bridge. When Xu Yi met them, he talked to them a bit before heading back to the Stantine Duchy.

Although he didn’t achieve all his goals in the Marlow Empire this time, not only had he signed quite a few contracts with Marquis Southgate, he had also made contact with the upper level of the Marlow Empire through Marquis Southgate, also signing a few contracts with them.

Even if Marquis Southgate’s old friend Duke Makaros was doubtful of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s agricultural magic machines, he had suddenly sent someone before Xu Yi left. He told Xu Yi that he wanted the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to harvest a third of his territory.

He wanted to use this experiment to confirm the effects of the agricultural magic machines that Xu Yi had told him before.

Other than the stubborn Duke Makaros, the other Marlow Empire nobles that Marquis Southgate introduced also showed their willingness to test it.

So for this fall harvest, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce received business for over three hundred thousands of hectares of land which can be considered a large deal.

Moreover, those nobles promised that if the Cantona Chamber of Commerce could perform as well as Xu Yi had said during the fall harvest, they would consider giving the business of planting and opening up more farmland to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.

Compared to harvesting, that was where the real big business was.

Cantona as the chairman placed great importance on being able to smoothly enter the Marlow Empire’s agricultural market. He stayed on Marquis Southgate’s territory almost every day, leading his subordinates to carefully inspect the farmland on the territory. They had to give them a perfect performance for the fall harvest.

So Cantona had contacted Xu Yi, hoping that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce could ensure that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce would have enough agricultural magic machines and construction magic machines, that way they would be able to smoothly finish this job.

Of course Xu Yi supported them. After consulting with him, Xu Yi had a portion of the agricultural magic machines being made in the Drake Duchy be supplied to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.

Accordingly, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce would have to help the Drake Duchy improve their farmland over the next two years.

Of course, Xu Yi didn’t care about the details of their negotiations. What he needed to do first was head back to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main base and prepare for the huge demand of the Marlow Empire ahead of time.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s production capacity had always been a problem for Xu Yi, so even if Sancheli had made the automatic production magic machines, which had greatly increased the productivity of the factories, there were still limits to this that made it unable to reach a level that Xu Yi was satisfied with.

The main reason was because of a lack of workers.

The worker problem wasn’t just a lack of people, the most decisive factor was a lack of skilled workers.

It should be said that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce strongly promoted the idea of training magic machine industry skills. Now that there were more and more people who could operate magic machines, this problem wasn’t that serious.

But in terms of magicians, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce found it hard to find a real solution.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t need normal magicians, they had to have some understanding of magic machines. They had to know how to lay the various kinds of Magic Arrays and be magicians that were very skilled at Magic Arrays.

In the early periods of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the requirements in this aspect weren’t high. After all, just having magicians come work for the company was already enough to satisfy Xu Yi, how could he still be picky?

But as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce became bigger and bigger, Xu Yi attached great importance to developing the whole magic machine industry. He started putting more precise requirements for the various magic machines, as if what they had before couldn’t satisfy Xu Yi anymore.

As the Frestech Chamber of Commerce spread the concept of standardization to the other companies, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had to strictly follow their own standards.

Like this, there were harsher requirements of the Low Grade Magicians who arranged these Magic Arrays.

Last time Great Magician Ferguson brought fifty magicians over to solve the problem with their living conditions with the help of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi had clearly stated that these magicians didn’t meet the requirements to work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and this was the reason.
