Volume 6 Chapter 84 - Difference between the two elf tribes (1/2)

As the Moon Shadow Tribe’s core product, the fertilizer that could increase grain yield was naturally welcomed by the surrounding countries.

As for the fertilizer factories under the Moon Shadow Tribe, what they worried about was never their sales, but their production capacity.

When the harvest came every year, all the countries turned their eyes to the Moon Shadow Tribe’s fertilizer. They all struggled to get a bit more to increase their own country’s grain yield.

But this year, among the countries fighting for it, there was the giant Marlow Empire that had appeared.

Although the Marlow Empire had only come into contact with the fertilizer last year during their fall harvest, with the data they received from their spring harvest, the nobles of the Marlow Empire immediately had a deep desire for this new thing.

Now that it was about to enter the important fall harvest, the countries in the southwest led by the Lampuri Kingdom other than taking care of their harvests were also preparing to get some more fertilizer from the Moon Shadow Tribe.

The Marlow Empire wouldn’t give up this chance either. Some nobles of the Marlow Empire, being represented by Marquis Southgate, made a shocking order for thirty thousand tons of fertilizer to the Moon Shadow Tribe’s factory.

This giant order was equal to all the orders of the Lampuri Kingdom.

Even if the Moon Shadow Tribe had been prepared this year, they could only at most receive orders for a hundred thousand tons. So as for how to assign this quota was a difficult problem for these elves.

It was a good thing that the elves had always been stubborn. Elder Lisanya used the excuse that it was already promised to prioritize the supply of fertilizer for the Lampuri Kingdom and the Stantine Duchy.

As for the other countries, it had dropped compared to previous years.

For the Marlow Empire, they only got ten thousand tons in the end, forcefully taking some of the orders from the other countries.

The countries other than the Lampuri Kingdom and the Stantine Duchy weren’t happy, but because the Moon Shadow Tribe were the only ones that had the fertilizer, there was nothing they could do.

Of course, remaining like this also wasn’t good. So after Xu Yi brought the two sides together, several nobles signed a raw materials supply contract with the Moon Shadow Tribe. They would plant the materials needed to make fertilizer on the territory of these nobles, which would greatly increase their raw material supply.

At the same time, the Moon Shadow Tribe had built another three fertilizer factories in the Lampuri Kingdom and the Stantine Duchy.

According to their estimates, once those three factories could start producing next year, the Moon Shadow Tribe’s fertilizer production capacity would double. It would be enough to satisfy the needs of the surrounding countries, while also providing some supplies for other buyers.

But according to Xu Yi’s estimates, this was still far from enough.

Not counting anything else, just the Marlow Empire alone would have a giant demand for the fertilizer.

With the Marlow Empire’s territory that was even bigger than the southwest countries added together, they would obviously have a bigger demand for fertilizer.

The Moon Shadow Tribe could barely meet the demands of the surrounding countries, so they wouldn’t be able to meet the demands of the Marlow Empire.

Not to mention the Candra Empire who would also need a large amount of fertilizer in the future, as well as the other countries on the continent.

With the Moon Shadow Tribe’s current production capacity, the future demand for fertilizer was like a bottomless hole.

But Xu Yi didn’t have a solution for this problem.

Although the Moon Shadow Tribe was the biggest out of the three elf tribes he contacted, they only had less than four thousand members.

Even if a fertilizer factory was completely filled with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s automated production magic machines, it would still need over five hundred workers.

With all the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe counted in, they would only be able to support six fertilizer factories at most. Their max production capacity would be five hundred thousand tons of fertilizer a year, which was far from being enough.

Of course, it wasn’t right to say that there was no way to solve this at all.

But that was the key to the problem. Elder Lisanya insisted that the factory had to be controlled by the Moon Shadow Tribe’s elves, she wouldn’t allow any outsiders at all.
