Volume 6 Chapter 34 - Arrogant Candra Empire (1/2)

The Marlow Empire was one of the two empires and had vast territories, so naturally the private territories of their nobles were much bigger than the nobles of a small country like the Lampuri Kingdom.

Marquis Southgate’s territory had a farmland of over five hundred hectares, which far surpassed the territory of any noble in the Lampuri Kingdom.

However, a week later, all the wheat in Marquis Southgate’s territory had been harvested. The final yield of the wheat was only six hundred tons, which by average was only around one hundred and fifty pounds per mu.

Compared to the Lampuri Kingdom and the Stantine Duchy which had an average yield of five hundred pounds per mu, this was simply not worth mentioning.

The reason for this large gap was because the farming methods of Marquis Southgate’s territory were too underdeveloped, so their production capacity was limited. The most important reason was of course the fertilizer.

But even with this production capacity, Marquis Southgate and the people of his territory, including the slaves participating in the harvest, were all filled with joy, stating that there was a rich harvest this year.

The most important thing was that to harvest the over five hundred hectares of land each year, even if everyone came together, they would have to work hard for an entire month.

If there was even the slightest hindrance, they would need even more time.

Before this, Marquis Southgate’s territory had encountered a situation many times where they couldn’t harvest everything, so it wasted quite a bit of wheat.

Now they finished it in only just a single week with the help of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. This five hundred hectares of land had been completely harvested, which was something that people couldn’t believe.

And during this time, they had only sent out a very small number of people.

For every harvest before this, they would send almost everyone on the territory out.

But this time, Marquis Southgate had only sent eighty people to help with the harvest. The work they did was only simple work such as pulling open the bags and packing up the wheat that came out of the Magic Harvester before bringing them to the transport Magic Cars waiting on the side.

Compared to all the back breaking work they had to do for the previous harvests, this time it was just too easy for them!

When chairman Cantona told Marquis Southgate that there was no problem at all harvesting five hundred hectares of land, Marquis Southgate was a bit doubtful.

But after seeing all his farmland being harvested in just a week, with several hundred tons of grains being placed in his warehouse, Marquis Southgate only had shock in his heart.

It was no wonder when he went to the Drake Duchy, the Lampuri Kingdom, and the Stantine Duchy, all their farmland had been reclaimed and had crops planted on them.

He was confused by this back then because he didn’t believe that these three countries had enough people to reclaim and plant on all that land.

But now that he saw the power of the agricultural magic machines the Cantona Chamber of Commerce brought, he no longer had any doubts.

So the day after the harvest was over, Marquis Southgate held a special banquet to celebrate the end of the fall harvest.

At this banquet, Marquis Southgate had signed a new contract with chairman Cantona in front of everyone.

The content of the contract was what Xu Yi had mentioned to Marquis Southgate before. It was to let the Cantona Chamber of Commerce develop the other land on the Marquis Southgate’s land, while also changing the land already opened to create more farmland.

But before Marquis Southgate had experienced this himself, he still had a bit of hesitation.

After the fall harvest this time, he no longer had any doubts.

This time, he had signed a full five year contract with the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.

In those five years, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce would not just help develop all the farmland on Marquis Southgate’s territory, they would also train some of his citizens on how to operate the agricultural magic machines.

After seeing the Magic Harvesters easily change the wheat in the field into grains, Marquis Southgate had already made his decision. He would definitely buy some agricultural magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and try to incorporate machines into farming for himself as much as possible.

When the Cantona Chamber of Commerce helped Marquis Southgate harvest his territory this time, the other Marlow Empire nobles that had a good relationship with Marquis Southgate had sent their own representatives.

After the Cantona Chamber of Commerce’s amazing performance in the fall harvest, those nobles all sent their own invitations, hoping that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce could help them with their harvests.
