Due to the different basic principles, the machines that Tang En made in Prandal were very simple. As long as one was healthy and had a normal brain, they could easily work after simple training. This was a great leap forward for the increase of production capacity and the reduction of cost.
Unfortunately, even such simple conditions were not available in Ellington now. Because of Tang En's promise to increase income, all the residents of Ellington had been mobilized. Everyone was doing what they could, and there were no idle people at all.
And of course, the income they received in the first month proved that Tang En was right. Therefore, they took the initiative to seek work opportunities this month.
"So, the population is still a big problem?"
Fiona curled her lips, "It has always been, and it has never changed."
"Well, I know. I've already advertised for Ellington in Alinx. As for whether people will come, I'm not sure for the time being."
Tang En sighed, "But now the second production line must be started. Otherwise, the production capacity can't keep up with the demand there. Even if it's hunger marketing, we have to be prepared to replenish the stock when the market explodes …"
Speaking of this, Tang En patted Fiona on the shoulder again and said earnestly, "I know this task is difficult, but … no matter how difficult it is, you have to find a way to gather the employees for the second production line!"
Fiona bit her lower lip with a troubled look on her face.
Tang En's trust made her very happy, but this really gave her a big problem …
Fiona gritted her teeth and said, "If that's the case, if you want to increase the number of employees, you can only break the rules you set before."
Tang En was puzzled, "What rules?"
"You said before that you won't recruit people under the age of 18 and over 50 …"
"Wait! I was talking about mine service! "
Tang En was astonished. "You don't have to sell your physical strength to work here. The work is so easy. Even teenagers and middle-aged people in their fifties can do it."
He was not a pedantic person. Although child labor was not allowed on Earth, it was different in Prandal. There was no universal compulsory education here. Children from civilian families were basically free to do whatever they wanted before they reached adulthood. Most of them would help their families do something.
Although Ellington had set up public schools after his replanning, before that, he wanted to let the children do whatever they could to earn some money. Both sides were very happy, so why not?
Fiona felt awkward. "I thought you were asking all industries to comply …"
"Alright, I didn't make it clear. If the standards are relaxed, does that mean that someone can use it?"
"That's right."
"Alright, I'll go prepare the second production line right away. You prepare to recruit people for training."
After Tang En finished speaking, he split up with Fiona.
With his previous experience, it only took Tang En one afternoon to "create" the second air conditioner production line and send it to the air conditioner workshop.
"Big brother! When did you come back!? "
At this time, he suddenly met Brian, who ran over in a hurry. "You came back just in time. We were thinking about the combine harvester you said. We studied the drawings you drew for us, but we still don't quite understand …"
Tang En looked at Brian with disdain. "If you don't understand, use your brain. What's the use of asking me everything?"
"Bastard! You know that us dwarves are not good at this kind of mechanical stuff … "
"Then discuss with Klot and find a few dwarven friends to help!"
"Yes! There's a guy called Nokia Hard-shell with a few dwarves, but they're busy laying water pipes! "
Nokia Hard-shell? That guy on the subway …
"Don't waste Grocca's talent as a rune dwarf!"
"I recently arranged for Grocca to learn the design principles of the magic circle on the lathe. Although the rune dwarves have magic talent, he has not learned it systematically before, so he needs to study it again. Sir Lord, if you have time, it's best to teach Grocca personally."
"Then wait. I'll give you a task now."
"Ah?"
"This is the second air conditioner production line. Prepare to take over the training of the newcomers. Be sure to get them started as soon as possible and start production."
"The second one!?"
Brian exclaimed. "The sales in Alinx are so good!?"
"Of course." Tang En laughed. "If nothing goes wrong, the salary and bonus this year will be enough for you dwarven brothers to drink to your heart's content."
"That's great!"
Brian, who was reluctant at first, immediately smiled when he heard that he could drink to his heart's content. "When the time comes, get me some barley liquor. I want to make that little brat Durandon greedy!"
"Don't worry, it's enough. Also, it's now called Tang Hero Liquor."
After thinking for a while, Tang En said, "After training the newcomers, find some time to gather the dwarven technicians. I'll tell you the general idea of the combine harvester."
It was now the Month of Harvest. It would be the busy farming season soon. Because of the busy farming season, there would be less manpower available. In order to maintain the rapid development of Ellington, the combine harvester, a killing machine that could free up labor, had to be done as soon as possible!
"I know! Big brother, it'll be much better if you explain it to us in person. "
Brian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been thinking about the combine harvester for the past few days, but they had only scratched the surface of it after drinking a lot of wine together.
Sure enough, it was better for the big brother to explain it in person.
After arranging these things, Tang En had just returned to the Lord's Residence when he saw Fiona with a smile on her face.
"Looks like it's going well?"
"Yes!"
Fiona nodded heavily. "I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic. I went to Karl and asked him to help me put up a recruitment notice. In the end, he handed me a list of people who went to Tang Daily to look for jobs. Previously, it was suppressed because of the age limit."
"That's good. Just leave these people to Brian. He'll take care of it."
Tang En looked at the time and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back."
"So soon?"
Fiona was startled. "Don't you want to stay for dinner?"
They had not eaten together for more than 20 days. Fiona did not want to admit that she actually missed this slow idiot.
"No. Tonight, Duke Bolet, who is Elsa's grandfather, invited us to be his guests. It's about time for Alinx to go back."
The time difference between Ellington and Alinx was an hour. Of course, this was Tang En's own estimation. The locals of Prandal did not have such a detailed way of calculating time.
In addition to estimating the difference of a time zone, Tang En also calculated some interesting data.
They took a carriage from Ellington to Alinx. The average speed of the carriage was about 20 kilometers per hour. They could run about 200 kilometers per day. Except for resting at night, they ran about ten hours a day, a total of 15 days. Deducting the detours in the middle of the journey, the straight-line distance between Ellington and Alinx was about 2,000 kilometers.
It was midsummer. The temperature in Ellington and Alinx was about 38 degrees at the moment, which meant that the two cities were in almost the same dimension. Inferring from the vegetation, it should be a subtropical climate north of the Tropic of Cancer. In addition, the residents of Ellington said that there was snow in winter, so it should be around 30 to 35 degrees north latitude.
The reason why it was a northern latitude and not a southern latitude was that the temperature decreased toward the north.
The span of a time zone on the earth's equator was 1,666 kilometers. The distance of a time zone north of 30 degrees north latitude in Prandal was more than 2,000 kilometers. It could be inferred that the volume of the planet Prandal was more than twice the size of the earth. The gravity here should be more than twice that of the earth.
Of course, there were errors in these data. After all, he was not a physicist. However, the difference in gravity should be obvious. Interestingly, he did not feel any abnormality in gravity when he traveled here. His body seemed to have been used to the gravity of this world. He did not even notice the difference in gravity at first.
However, these were not important, so he skipped over it and returned to the story.
Fiona saw that Tang En was so unromantic. She did not want to talk nonsense with him anymore. She rolled her eyes and left by herself.
After saying goodbye to Tina, Tang En hurried back to the teleportation circle. With a flash of light, he returned to Alinx.
It was still dusk in Ellington, but it was already night in Alinx. Elsa and Elijah were bored waiting for Tang En, so they left with Hilton when the shop closed.
After Twain checked the shop's defensive magic array, he also got into the carriage and left unhurriedly.
After returning to Forier's manor, he saw Aubrey and Elsa chatting in the back garden.
Judging by the smiles on their faces, they seemed to be having a good time. Aubrey must be overjoyed …
"Eh? You're back! "
After seeing Tang En, Aubrey laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "Good boy, I heard that you sold out the moment you opened for business today? I heard that the whole of Alinx is talking about the Datang Chamber of Commerce now. If I'm not mistaken, they'll be talking about you tonight. "
Tang En smiled. "I just hope they're not talking about how to kill me."
"That's possible. After all, you took millions of gold coins from their pockets today. Everyone saw it. Although they feel the pain, they still have to smile. How can they not curse you in private?"
"It's normal for nobles to puff themselves up at their own cost … Oh! Elsa, Elijah! "
Tang En suddenly came back to his senses and waved at them. "It's almost time. Let's go."
Aubrey was stunned. "It's almost time for dinner. Where are you going?"
Tang En pulled Elsa and Elijah and jumped over the fence in the garden. He said casually, "Lord Ardern invited us over tonight."
"Ardern, that bastard …"
Aubrey stomped his feet in anger. He had wanted to show off his grilling skills to his granddaughter, but Ardern interrupted him!
