"Mm! Not bad! It's pretty! The wood grain of the World Tree's branches is very delicate and has a refreshing fragrance. It has its own cleansing function and is most suitable as the base material for a toothbrush. "
Tang En beamed as he looked at the freshly made toothbrush in his hand. He could not wait to try it out.
If the elves knew that he was actually using the precious World Tree's branches for such a purpose, they would probably fall out with him no matter how good-tempered they were.
The World Tree, also known as the Tree of Life, was the totem of the elves and also their mother. In other words, the branches of the World Tree were equivalent to the elves' mother's body. They regarded it as a treasure that they needed to protect with their lives. Tang En was using it to make a damn toothbrush. This was undoubtedly blasphemy! It was definitely blasphemy!
Compared to being made into a toothbrush and being stuffed into a human's mouth to clean his teeth all day long, they would probably rather be made into a staff by another human.
However, Tang En did not care. This thing was obviously for use. Otherwise, what was the value of something no matter how good it was?
"It's a pity that the bristles are too lousy. Forget it, I'll just make do with it. The World Tree's toothbrush … Of course, there needs to be a good cup to match it. Mm, I'll use this!"
Tang En did not even think about it and directly took out a piece of Star Flash Gold. The Star Flash Gold quickly softened and took shape in his hand. Soon, it became a square cup filled with a simple and modern aura.
"It's a pity that there's no toothpaste … Sigh, I'll work harder these few days to get the toothpaste out."
Seeing the toothbrush, Tang En subconsciously felt strange in his mouth. Especially since he had basically been eating roasted meat for the past two days. It was simply unbearable to not brush his teeth!
After casually putting the toothbrush and teacup on the table next to him, Tang En stretched lazily. It was only now that he felt a little hungry.
Tang En had just pushed open the door and almost bumped into the maid in front of him.
"Sir, Sir Lord!"
The maid was shocked and hurriedly bowed. As a result, because she had been standing for a day, her legs were stiff and she actually fell head first into Tang En.
At this moment, the maid was so scared that her heart almost stopped beating and her mind went blank.
"You … Don't tell me you've been waiting here for an entire day?"
Tang En supported the maid. When he saw her appearance, Tang En guessed what was going on. He was very surprised. He just casually gave a command, but this maid was actually so responsible. This was simply impossible on Earth.
"It's my honor to work for the Lord …"
Being supported by Tang En and being in such close contact with Tang En, the maid was so happy that she almost fainted.
"What's your name?"
Suddenly hearing Tang En ask her name, the maid was stunned, and then her heart started to beat wildly again.
Why is Sir Lord asking for my name?
Could it be … Could it be that the Lord is lonely? Do you want someone to accompany you at night?
Am I really that lucky?
As mentioned before, Hogg was a very extravagant person. He would not choose those aunties to be his maids. Most of the maids working in the Lord's Mansion were very young and beautiful girls. Even if he could not play with them, they were still pleasing to the eye.
And this maid was a natural beauty that could score seventy points on Earth. However, Tang En had been tested by Photoshop for a long time, and he had seen the amazingness of Fiona and Elsa, so now his resistance was much higher and he did not feel anything.
But this maid was different!
In front of her was basically the most powerful person she could come into contact with. Suddenly being asked for her name, of course, she would let her imagination run wild.
In particular, Tang En was young and handsome, and was a good person who was close to the people. Compared with Hogg, it was like heaven and earth. These maids would secretly discuss the relationship between Tang En and Fiona in private.
"Tina, my name is Tina, Sir Lord."
Tina blushed and lowered her head, full of shyness.
"Tina, right? I remember that the original chief maid has been dismissed, right?"
"Yes …"
"Well, then from today onwards, you are the chief maid of the Lord's Mansion. Tomorrow, go and tell Fiona that it's my idea. Now, Tina, go and have dinner, then don't do anything at night. Take a bath and have a good rest."
After Tang En finished speaking, he let go of Tina and went downstairs to eat. However, he did not know that he just thought that he was concerned about others, but inadvertently, it was misunderstood again.
Chief maid?
She became the chief maid just like that?
Tina did not feel that it was realistic at all. At this moment, what made her more nervous was why did the Lord ask her to take a bath after dinner?
Could it be that tonight, he is really going to …
What should I do?
Accept? Or …
Tina went to the kitchen with a nervous face. There was a room where the maids ate.
"Tina, you are finally here. You didn't even eat lunch and have been waiting there. The Lord is too cruel … Hurry, this is for you."
Tina could not help but say, "Marlene, don't say bad things about the Lord. The Lord is a good person."
"Of course I know he is a good person. Otherwise, he would not have reduced the tax. But how could he bear to let you stand there for a whole day?"
"I wanted to stay there because the Lord said not to let anyone disturb him … That's right, everyone, I, I will be the chief maid tomorrow …"
"Tina, are you sick? What are you talking about? "
"It's true!"
Tina said hurriedly, "The Lord said it himself just now!"
Marlene was shocked, "What!?"
"Really?"
"Oh my god! Tina, you're so lucky! "
"That's right, this way your salary will increase by another five gold coins …"
"What do you know? An increase of five gold coins is nothing. The most important thing is that Marlene has spoken to Sir Overlord!"
The group of maids began to discuss while Tina was at a loss.
Marlene walked up to her and held her hand. "Congratulations, Tina! Now that you are the chief maid, don't let us be too tired! "
Tina hurriedly said, "Of, of course …"
"But why would Sir Feudal Lord let Tina become the head maid so casually? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Tina? "
"Are you kidding? Although Tina is quite beautiful, Miss Fiona is even more beautiful. She is like an angel!"
"Miss Fiona and the Lord are obviously not lovers. They don't even stay in the same room!"
"What do you know? This is called fun. It means the Lord knows how to play."
"Is Fiona very beautiful? I don't think so. Elsa isn't worse than her. "
"Elsa is very beautiful, but don't forget her strength. Which man can stand her? If she uses her legs when being intimate, won't she break the man's waist? "
The few maids who knew about the relationship between men and women immediately giggled when they heard this. They looked at Tina ambiguously and said, "Tina, if His Lordship really likes you, don't miss this good opportunity. His Lordship is much better than that idiot Hogg."
Tina was even more embarrassed. She wanted to ask them for help to figure out what to do at night, but now she gave up the idea.
After a quick dinner, Tina returned to her room and threw herself on the bed.
What should I do?
Tina pressed her chest. She could feel her heart beating very fast.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally got up and walked to the bathroom …
Putting aside the beautiful misunderstanding between the girls, another "war" was breaking out in the dining room.
"Why aren't you eating? Why are you staring at me? "
Tang En who was wolfing down his food raised his head and looked at Fiona in confusion. He was really hungry. Even if he was not used to the food in Prandal, he still felt that it was very delicious.
But no matter how delicious the dinner was, if someone was staring at you, you wouldn't be able to eat it.
"I went to see Brian in the afternoon."
Fiona was very annoyed. She said angrily, "You made a decision again, didn't you?"
Tang En wiped his mouth, "What do you mean?"
"Let's not talk about the innovation of farming tools and the consumption of iron ore. What's with the agricultural subsidies you told them about?"
Fiona gritted her teeth and stared at Tang En's arm. She wanted to bite it.
Damn it, I knew that Brian's big mouth would not be reliable!
Tang En said matter-of-factly, "As the name suggests, it's agricultural subsidies."
"What do you mean as the name suggests?"
Fiona let out a long sigh, "Looking at the entire Empire, and even other countries, I have never heard of any agricultural subsidies! You really think that the Lord's Residence has too much money to spend, so you're thinking of ways to spend it, right? "
Tang En's face turned serious, "Of course not. There are many places where we need to spend money. We have to increase our income and reduce our expenditure."
"You also know that there are many places where we need to spend money?"
Fiona pursed her lips, "Then tell me what this agricultural subsidy is."
"It's very simple. Hogg plundered too much wealth from here, and part of this wealth is in our hands. What I need to do now is to return this wealth to them bit by bit. Gold coins only have value when they are circulated. It's meaningless to pile them up in the vault."
Tang En's expression was very serious. Seeing that he was not joking, Fiona also listened very seriously.
"And the most important point is that the farmers in Ellington can no longer bear the risk. The bandits' repeated robberies have pushed them to the limit. What I need to do now is to release this pressure in their hearts."
"The agricultural subsidy for one thousand two hundred and thirty-two farmers, one gold coin per family. That's only a little more than a thousand gold coins. It's not much, but the value of these gold coins far exceeds the value of the gold coins themselves."
"These gold coins can reignite their hope in life, giving them more motivation to farm and bring us more food."
"And more importantly, with these gold coins, they can buy iron farming tools. With the new farming tools, their farming efficiency will be higher. Needless to say, the increase in food production will go without saying. After the increase in efficiency, they will have extra time. During this time, their activities in Ellington can generate additional economic value."
Tang En smiled faintly, "Now, do you still think that these thousand gold coins are not worth it?"
Fiona was stunned!
