Seeing the expressions on Aurelia's and Olina's faces, Tang En's heart skipped a beat as he remembered what he had forgotten.
Damn you, Victor. Alright, he's dead. But how are we going to deal with the mess you've left behind?
"Lord Tang En."
Olina stared straight at Tang En.
"What, what are you doing …"
If he didn't know what she was thinking, Tang En would have thought that the elegant queen was trying to seduce him.
"We just met Girard, but he said something strange … about Victor."
Olina looked at Tang En nervously and sadly. "Can you explain?"
Aurelia was not as uneasy as her. She asked straightforwardly, "Is my father still 'dead'?"
The "dead" that Aurelia mentioned referred to the soul entering the Kingdom of the Dead.
Obviously, they had heard from Girard that Victor's soul was still alive.
Tang En raised his hands and surrendered. "Okay, okay … I didn't want to hide it from you when I brought him back."
Aurelia's and Olina's eyes lit up, and they immediately became excited. "You mean, he is still alive!? Still in this world!? "
"He is dead, but his soul is still here."
Tang En spread out his hands. "I … F * ck, I don't want to get involved, Victor! Get out and clean this up yourself! "
Tang En stuffed the Soul Diamond into their hands, and then he ran away.
If he didn't run away now, when would he?
After Victor was assassinated by Girard, his soul was intercepted by Tang En. Then he took advantage of the situation and formulated this plan to wipe out the aristocrats in the Irus Empire. In order to make the plan real, he even hid it from Olina and Aurelia, breaking their hearts.
At this moment, if Tang En stayed here, he might be scratched by the two of them. Victor was a soul, and ordinary people couldn't touch him.
As soon as Tang En slipped out of the study, he heard a scream coming from the room.
He couldn't help but sigh. "How touching …"
Fiona, who happened to pass by, was stunned. "What touching?"
"Of course, it's a long-awaited family reunion."
Tang En leaned over and asked, "Where are we going? I'll go with you. "
He still had to ask Olina about the Ronitan Kingdom, but Olina was definitely not in the mood to answer his questions now. He would look for her after they finished chatting.
"To supervise the reconstruction of the greenhouses and the reclamation of the farmland."
Fiona rolled her eyes. "Elijah's words have ruined everything we've done since the beginning of spring. We have to work overtime for the next two days to reclaim the farmland and plant wheat."
"Don't say that in front of her, or it'll make her feel guilty."
Tang En reminded her and then said, "It's not that there's no benefit. The whole of Ellington has been completely plowed. There's a lot of farmland to be reclaimed without having to reclaim the land. It also saves a lot of effort."
"The houses of those farmers were destroyed by the meteorite."
"Compensate. If they want, they can also move directly into Ellington. In the future, we can implement a large-scale farm system, reduce the number of tenant farmers, concentrate on the farmland, and carry out large-scale planting. This can save a lot of manpower and maintain or even increase the food production."
"Large-scale farm system …"
Fiona frowned slightly. "It's feasible, but they may not be willing. Now, they haven't felt the productivity reform of the magic machines yet. Those people have already regarded farming as part of their lives."
Tang En smiled. "We'll provide equipment rental services for the farm owners and provide economic subsidies for those who are willing to cultivate a large amount of farmland."
"We can try. I'll ask the people of the Datang Chamber of Commerce to contact them. If they're not willing, we'll just contract those farmlands in the name of the Datang Chamber of Commerce."
Fiona was full of confidence in Tang En's plan. Expanding the scale of farming, with the help of efficient agricultural magic machines, would greatly increase the agricultural output.
The two came to the eastern suburbs. The greenhouses that were originally built here were all destroyed. Now, the elemental creatures, dwarven craftsmen, and gnomish engineers were busy rebuilding the greenhouses. The people of the Datang Chamber of Commerce could only help by the side.
"Crystals again …"
Tang En frowned slightly. Other transmigrators could make soap, glass, and gunpowder immediately after transmigrating and immediately make a lot of money. In the end, after transmigrating for a year, he could only make soap, but he could only make a small amount of money. He didn't need to make gunpowder, as there were more efficient gnomish gunpowder. He had wanted to make glass for a long time, but he hadn't found any high-quality silica or quartz. Until now, he could only use expensive natural crystals to process it.
He should find some time to go to the Underworld and ask the Redrock Dwarves or Dark Elves. They might know where to find quartz.
Although natural crystals could also be used, glass had a wider range of uses. The cheap manufacturing cost of glass could greatly promote the domestic glassware market. More importantly, in various alchemy laboratories, the expensive crystal utensils used could be replaced with glassware. The custom-made glassware could be filled with all kinds of solutions, which was quite useful.
If glassware could be produced, the secondary derivatives in the workshops in the territory, such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and various gases such as chlorine, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen, and so on, could be collected and used later.
These chemical raw materials had a wide range of uses. Not to mention other things, sulfuric acid alone, after being purified, put into glass bottles, and thrown out on the battlefield, would be a great killing weapon.
While thinking about all kinds of things, he accompanied Fiona to wander around the construction site. Tang En and Fiona's visit to the construction site had a great effect on the workers, and their enthusiasm for work increased a lot.
After estimating that it was about time, Tang En waved goodbye to Fiona and wobbled back to the Lord's Mansion.
As soon as he returned to the study, Tang En couldn't help rubbing his nose.
The atmosphere was really awkward …
In the dreary study, the soul body Victor stood there with an awkward and helpless expression. Olina sat on the sofa with red eyes and sobbed. Aurelia pouted and glared at Victor.
Obviously, their reunion just now wasn't very pleasant.
When Victor saw Tang En, he was overjoyed. "Tang En! You're back! That's great! Help me comfort her. "
F * ck! That's your wife! What do you mean by asking me to comfort her? Is your brain too cold so you want to be cuckolded?
"Father!"
Aurelia gritted her teeth in anger. "You're so carefree about life and death! You're just going to leave us like this? "
"What can I do if I'm not carefree?"
Victor smiled bitterly. "Lord Tang En can't bring me back to life. The reason he can keep me in this world is probably because … ahem."
Victor stopped talking.
"They already know my mission."
Tang En said casually. Then, he picked up the teacup and sat down. "You guys continue. I'll just watch."
"Lord Tang En!"
Aurelia stomped her foot. "You already knew. Why didn't you tell us!?"
"Didn't Victor tell you? It was his idea. "
Tang En looked at the blonde princess very innocently. "It happened so suddenly. When I brought you back to Alinx's palace to see your mother, I had already found his soul, but he didn't let me tell you."
Tang En glanced at Victor and sold him out without hesitation. "He thought that since he was already dead, he might as well push the boat with the current and let Girard cause a ruckus. At the same time, he could also legitimately clean up all the pests in the Irus Empire. Tsk tsk, this is a plan that starts from the rotten roots."
"In order to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people."
Victor coughed softly and said a little awkwardly, "But then again, this is not a lie. I didn't expect that Girard would be controlled by the Dark Serpent, and I didn't expect that he would assassinate me …"
Tang En said very bluntly, "There are many things that you didn't expect. You didn't even know that the whole Third Legion was controlled by the Dark Serpent. You really failed as a king."
Victor was speechless.
"Is there really no way to resurrect Victor?"
Olina looked at Tang En with a pleading face. "Aren't you the savior? I heard that the gods have a way to resurrect the dead … "
"Yes, that's why it's the power of the gods, and I'm just an unlucky guy who was pushed out by them."
Tang En listened carefully and didn't hear any thunder. Suddenly, he felt relieved and said confidently, "My power doesn't include resurrecting the dead. If I could do that, then I wouldn't be afraid of anything. I could lead an army to sweep the world directly. The dead can be resurrected, and my soldiers won't be afraid of fighting."
Victor couldn't agree more.
"The problem is that the world is facing a huge problem now, so I can't contact them. The possibility of Victor being resurrected is not high for the time being."
Tang En took a sip of tea and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. Although he can't be resurrected and continue to be a king, when my plan is almost done, the honor and power he will gain will be no less than that of a king."
Tang En planned to let Victor be in charge of the Hall of Valor, and he would be the leader of all the Valor.
The King of Valor, how awesome and awesome was that? It was full of the pretentiousness of the King of Valor, which was much more pretentious than being an emperor in the human world.
"But if father can't be resurrected, who will inherit the royal family of Irus? There's no one who can inherit the throne! "
"Tang En."
Victor said casually, "After the conspiracy of the Dark Serpent is broken, with the support of Minister Aubrey and Minister Adrian, and with the guarantee of His Holiness the Pope and Her Holiness the Saintess, it shouldn't be a problem to push him to the throne."
"But he doesn't have the right to inherit!"
Victor spread his hands. "He can get it legally."
Aurelia seemed to think of something and blushed. "Have you forgotten that I've already given up my right to inherit?"
Victor said with a wry smile, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Olina."
"Pfft!"
Tang En spat out all the tea in his mouth.
