That's right!
Why don't you find a way to directly produce flying cars instead of focusing on tires!?
Tang En was stunned.
After thinking about it, he could only think of one reason: thinking inertia.
Just like the residents of Prandal were limited by the common sense of this world, Tang En was also limited by the common sense of Earth.
In his impression, a car should be running on four wheels on the ground, and a car that flew in the sky was called an airplane.
Anti-gravity cars and maglev cars were still concepts in the era he lived in, so he would never have thought of them.
He had completely forgotten that this was Prandal, and there was a completely unscientific power system of "magic" here.
Flight, gravity, levitation, wind, repulsion, wings of holy light …
There were simply too many spells and divine spells that could make someone or something fly!
Fiona did not have this power yet, but she knew that many people had this power, and Tang En also had it, so she thought of this problem. As for Tang En, because of the inertia of thinking, he was still obsessed with looking for rubber, so he had not found the blind spot.
"Fiona, you're really my lucky star!"
Tang En picked up Fiona and spun her a few times before putting her down.
Suddenly being held in Tang En's arms, Fiona was stunned.
Oh my god!
Has the Lord been enlightened!?
This is simply the most incredible thing of the year!
However, before Fiona could carefully feel the happiness of being hugged by Tang En, and she did not even feel much of his body temperature and smell, Tang En let go of her and said excitedly, "Thank you for reminding me! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be worried about the process of producing tires! "
Fiona said angrily, "It's what I should do!"
What! Since you want to thank me, then hug me a little longer!
What's the meaning of being so stingy with your thanks!
"Why are you angry?"
Tang En patted Fiona's shoulder with a gratified face, "Are you too tired recently? Why don't I find you an assistant? I think Tina is quite free, why don't you train her to be your assistant? "
"Her?"
Fiona did not care about being angry for a moment, and said in surprise, "Tina is a maid, you're willing to train her to be your assistant?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Tang En's face was puzzled, "Train her, if she has the ability, just do it, if she can't, just find someone else, how simple it is."
"No, I mean … Sigh, forget it, it may be her luck to meet you.
Fiona was helpless, why is Tang En's way of thinking always different from others?
Although Fiona's relationship with Tina was very good, that was a personal relationship. When it came to official matters, she was still very strict. Tina came from a humble background, it was already very good for her to be the chief maid of the Lord's Mansion. As Tang En's status became higher and higher, Ellington became more and more prosperous, she was also an existence that everyone knew when she went out.
But to be her own assistant?
Fiona was now Ellington's consul, second only to Tang En, at the same time, she was also the Minister of Finance and the Vice President of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, what does it mean to be her assistant? It means that Tina will instantly become the third person in Ellington!
Fiona came from a noble family, so her way of thinking was very simple. Of course, Tang En's way of thinking conflicted with hers, at this time, Fiona could only change herself and let Tang En take the lead.
"I'll talk to her later, if she's willing, she can learn by my side, I hope she won't disappoint your trust in her."
"You have to give people a chance to learn …"
Tina, who was holding a plate and was about to knock on the door, heard the conversation inside and could not help but stop, tears filling her eyes.
My Lord, why are you so good to me …
You clearly know that I come from a humble background, I can't repay you with anything …
Why … Why is such a good My Lord … a pervert?
"You can make arrangements for Tina's matters later, now you need to consider the next development problem."
Tang En's words lifted Fiona's spirits, "What do you think?"
He rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, then asked, "How's Grandia's efficiency these two days?"
"It's quite high, it has increased our food reserves for winter by a lot."
"Give her more responsibilities."
"Huh?"
"Let her work harder and increase her production."
Tang En's eyes flashed, "This winter might be a crucial year for Ellington's development."
"You mean …"
Fiona suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air, "You're not thinking of using food to attract the vagrants to settle down, are you?!"
"You're indeed my think tank, you guessed it right away."
Tang En's praise did not make Fiona proud, instead, it made her inexplicably anxious, "But this method won't work at all! We haven't made up for the food shortage now, if we release the food subsistence policy to attract the vagrants, I'm afraid we'll end up in chaos in the end. "
"See, I said you're smart, I haven't said anything about subsistence."
Tang En laughed, "Don't worry, we've formed a strategic alliance with the elves now, Grandia's production is only a solution. If we really encounter a food crisis, I can go to the elves to buy food."
Hearing Tang En's reason, Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, it's feasible."
"There's a key problem, we need to be prepared to attract a large number of vagrants."
Tang En said, "The arrival of the vagrants will bring a lot of unstable factors, we need to let the guards prepare in advance, and at the same time, arrange all kinds of reception work to guide them to join the labor force."
"Everyone has already gained experience in the past few months, so there's no need to worry about this."
Fiona said, "If we want to attract the vagrants to Ellington, we'll have to start advertising soon. After all, the road to Ellington is very long, and we don't know how many people will die on the road …"
Towards the end, Fiona couldn't help but show a sorrowful expression.
No matter how prosperous the Empire was now, it couldn't hide the struggle of the poor people at the bottom to survive. Because they couldn't eat and wear, the bandits and robbers couldn't stop. Once they left the town and went beyond the patrol range of the guards, it was easy to encounter bandits and robbers, or roaming magical beasts. Either way, death was inevitable.
Tang En sighed, "Then there's nothing we can do. This is fate."
After a pause, Tang En said, "If we want to help them, it's not impossible. We can set up a recruitment center in the city where the Datang Chamber of Commerce has a branch. We can centralize and manage all the people who want to come to Ellington, and then hire carriages to transport them to Ellington in batches."
Fiona thought for a moment, and hesitated, "Won't that consume a lot of gold coins?"
Tang En smiled, "Wealth is earned to be used, not to mention that for us, population is far more important than gold coins."
"In that case, let's do it!"
"Yes, let's do it."
Tang En nodded, "Before winter, we should be able to attract a lot of people to Ellington. This way, our development will be faster next year."
Fiona quickly wrote this down in her notebook.
"Other than this, what about the planting of Kamla?"
Fiona looked up and asked, "If you decide to make flying cars, is there still a need to plant Kamla?"
"Of course there's a need!"
Tang En said decisively, "Not only can it be used to make tires, the latex is also very useful. It can be used to process a lot of things."
"Alright."
Fiona sighed helplessly. If it weren't for the combination harvester and the cultivator, which increased the efficiency of farming by leaps and bounds, they wouldn't have dared to send so many people to plant other plants.
Tang En rubbed his chin and said, "Speaking of this means of transportation, we can actually get another means of transportation out first."
To put it bluntly, transportation in Prandal relied on walking and communication relied on shouting.
There were carriages further away, but it was awkward for normal people if it wasn't too far or too close. It was a waste to sit in a carriage and it was too tiring to walk. In this situation, if they introduced bicycles, they would definitely be very popular.
"What?"
"Bicycles."
Fiona was interested, "What is that?"
"It's a kind of transportation that can be driven by one person … …"
Tang En simply explained the principle of bicycles to Fiona before clapping his hands, "Since we're making bicycles, we might as well make a modified version of the electric car."
"Modified version?"
Tang En excitedly said, "It's powered by Magic Crystals and removes the manual mode. It's more convenient and it's faster!"
Fiona thought for a bit before shaking her head and saying, "Sir Lord, with all due respect, if you want to promote this kind of transportation, you can't do without bicycles."
Tang En was stunned, "Why?"
"You want to promote magic energy products, but you've forgotten something. With the current income of the citizens, they can't use Magic Crystals as daily consumables. Although a single Magic Bicycle only uses a single low quality Magic Crystal per month, that is still worth several gold coins, so it's too expensive."
Fiona changed the topic and said, "But bicycles are different. As long as you buy them, you don't need to use anything and it's convenient to move around. Even normal people would be happy to buy one and keep it at home."
"Not only that, we're also cultivating the market. After everyone is used to bicycles, we'll introduce a high end product like the Magic Bicycle. The acceptance will be much stronger than before."
Tang En thoughtfully looked at Fiona, "Fiona."
"Un?"
"I've found that you really are a descendant of the Rosa d 'Oro family … … Your profiteering talent must have been maxed out when you were born."
"Of course not."
Fiona's face didn't turn red as she refuted Tang En, "Compared to sir Lord, I'm still lacking."
