Ten minutes later.
"It's done!"
After returning to Ellington, Tang En still couldn't believe that the problem of the space cracks that gave Jean and Perdys so much headaches was solved so easily.
Although it was simple, if it weren't for the help of Eutinia's divine power, I'm afraid that these two space cracks alone would have kept Tang En busy for several months.
"This."
Eutinia shook the book in her hand and said blankly: "It's very interesting. Give me more in the future."
"…"
Tang En knelt down.
The protector of pure girls, the daughter of death, the dark girl, this is going to be a forbidden book!
Eutinia, you're going against the heavens!
After sending off his book-obsessed goddess, Tang En felt as tired as if he had just fought another battle. He had promised her so many books, and he reckoned that he had almost emptied out the little bit of savings he had in his mind.
After all, there was no Esquire E here, so there was no place for him to replenish his inventory.
It seems that it is necessary to let Clover continue to diverge her thoughts, brainstorm, and create more books …
As soon as he returned to the Lord's Mansion, Fiona came up to report the situation. Tang En finally had a chance to relax his tense nerves.
"Your Majesty, Reeves has increased the investment quota again. He hopes that we can continue to increase the production of road flatteners, rollers, and pavers. He wants to continue to increase the efficiency of road construction."
"So urgent? Isn't the efficiency quite high now? "
Tang En was a little surprised. There were now three construction teams working at the same time. With Ellington, Bein, and Paganis as the center, they radiated out to the surroundings at the same time. Moreover, the efficiency was extremely high. They could build dozens of kilometers of highways every day. This kind of efficiency was simply a miracle on Earth. Was Reeves still not satisfied?
Fiona glanced at Tang En. "I think he wants to complete the highway network in the Irus Empire as soon as possible, and then continue to develop it in other countries. He should have already seen the potential of the highway. After all, the Aipa Highway alone has brought us a net profit of 150,000 gold coins this month."
One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins a month wasn't much, and it wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between Leviz's teeth. But don't forget, this was only the income from the Aipa Expressway. Moreover, this money would be collected after the road was repaired. There was no other business that was more profitable than this.
In addition, Reeves had also seen the Harley-Davidson motorcycle developed by Tang En. He knew that there would be a traffic upgrade soon. The increase in commuting speed would lead to a large number of people traveling, and the highway would inevitably be the best choice. The income of the toll booths would also rise.
If he could lay a road network that covered the entire continent, he would be able to earn millions of gold coins every day just by sitting at home. How could he not be interested?
"Then let's satisfy his request. How many related magical machines do we need?"
"We need 500 road flatteners, at least 1000 road rollers, and 1500 pavers."
"Inform the factory to work overtime."
Tang En sipped his hot tea, smacked his lips, and then asked, "How's the progress on the Harley-Davidson motorcycle that Reeves and Oscar want?"
"Oscar's order is fine. The production will be completed in two weeks. Reeves' order is more troublesome. In addition to the 1000 standard units, there are also 1000 units for small goblins. Currently, there is only one production line for small Harley-Davidson motorcycles, so the production capacity is insufficient. We can only produce them slowly."
After pausing for a moment, Fiona continued, "But I don't recommend increasing the production line for small Harley-Davidson motorcycles. There are three reasons. First, the demand for Harley-Davidson motorcycles among the dwarves and goblins is very small, and the market isn't large. As long as we can meet the demand, we don't need excess production capacity. Second, we don't have any extra manpower to do this work. A large number of people are now focused on furniture, daily necessities, and weapons. Third, the delivery date agreed with Reeves is very generous, so we have enough time to produce the goods. There is no need to waste money on time."
"Then let's do it according to your plan."
Tang En was very satisfied with Fiona's solution. This was the best employee in the boss's mind. She found a problem and proposed a solution. The boss only needed to make the final decision. She didn't need to find a problem and wait for him to make a decision.
Fiona saved him a lot of time.
"Okay, then this matter is settled. Now, there is another matter."
Fiona closed the folder and took out a second folder, "Regarding the rewards for the naval expedition, if you don't have any special requests, we will still distribute them according to the previous specifications. But I suggest that you increase the level of rewards this time."
"Oh? Why? "
Tang En was planning to do so, but he wanted to hear Fiona's opinion.
"I heard from Uncle Depp that this battle was very dangerous. Whether it was the ancient beast Leviathan, which was beyond the ninth grade, or the appearance of the large Chaos Gate, they were all very dangerous. Although it was thanks to you and Sir Jean's strength that the problem was solved, they also participated in the battle and witnessed it with their own eyes. They are all witnesses to all of this."
"They may not have contributed much, but their courage to face the danger is enough to earn them a reward."
"An appropriate increase in rewards can make the soldiers more loyal to you. In the face of danger, they will be more courageous to face the danger and meet the challenge."
After a pause, Fiona shrugged and said, "Well, in fact, these are all beautiful words. To put it bluntly, it is to increase the level of rewards so that they will be more willing to work for you in the face of great danger."
"You've hit the nail on the head."
Tang En gave a thumbs up and said, "Double the original reward."
"Okay."
Tang En looked at Fiona in surprise. "Why didn't you blame me for spending money this time?"
"That was then, and this is now."
Fiona rolled her eyes at him. Previously, she had kept a close watch because the income and expenditure were not balanced, so she had to be more careful. But now, it was different. After getting rid of the aristocrats, she had received a large amount of income after deducting the necessary expenses. Her funds were much more abundant. In addition, Fiona was very clear about Tang En's thoughts on gold coins, so she naturally knew how to deal with it.
Most importantly, the Irus Empire now belonged to Tang En. The entire empire's huge market was at the mercy of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Its ability to earn money was extremely terrifying. Therefore, she was very active in anything that could help to consolidate Tang En's rule.
"It's not just the reward of gold coins."
Tang En smiled and took out the bag that Perdys had given him. "Inform everyone to gather tomorrow. The first 100 soldiers who perform well will receive a deep sea elemental crystal as a reward."
"Deep sea elemental crystal!?"
Fiona opened the bag and was shocked. "Isn't this the treasure that can increase the strength of Heaven's Revelations?! So many!? "
She roughly looked and saw that there were at least a hundred of them. With so many deep sea elemental crystals in a bag, the visual impact was too strong.
This bag of things was worth five billion gold coins!
Not to mention how unscientific this amount of gold coins was, the value of these things was indeed there!
"This is a gift from Perdys to us. You can eat one first."
Tang En waved his hand carelessly. "Then deduct a hundred of them as a reward and leave the rest to stimulate those rogue mages to work harder."
Fiona hurriedly said, "Aren't you leaving some? You can give some to the elves to build a good relationship … "
"There's no need. The elves don't need these things."
Tang En pursed his lips. The elves usually lived in the World Tree and their bodies were constantly purified by the life force. They had long since become incomparably pure. These things were equivalent to jelly beans to them.
"Then … Okay."
Fiona was speechless. The elves' treatment was really enviable.
At this time, Tang En clapped his hands. "Oh right, the captains will be exempted from the assessment and will be directly rewarded. Depp and the others have also worked hard."
"Understood."
After Fiona left, Tang En lazily lay on the sofa and went through the recent events in his mind. After making sure that he didn't miss anything, he completely relaxed and planned to quietly enjoy the leisurely afternoon.
"Big Brother!!!"
The door opened with a bang, and then a petite figure rushed in and threw herself into Tang En's arms.
"Can you cancel the school's exams? There's also homework at night … "
Seeing Elijah pouting, Tang En's face darkened.
It's over. The leisurely afternoon is gone.
What was supposed to be a relaxing afternoon was all ruined because of Ilia's arrival. Tang En had no choice but to play with her. He also had to be patient and do some ideological work to make her understand how important the exams and homework were, and how good it was for her.
After much persuasion, he finally sent this lady away. Let Clairat have a headache.
In the end, when it was time for dinner, Jean came as promised and came to scrounge for dinner.
After dinner, an excited Jean shamelessly followed Tang En into his room. His face was full of sincerity, as if he had come to the Church of Knowledge.
This scene was seen by Marlene, who had just passed by and casually recorded it with a photographic crystal.
Then, Marlene covered her mouth and looked at the closed door in disbelief. A mess of discordant images flashed through her mind. One moment, it was Jean on top, Tang En on bottom, Tang En on top, Jean on bottom …
After being stunned for a while, Marlene suddenly covered her red face and ran back to her room. Her heart was thumping wildly.
"Marlene?"
"Eh? Tina? "
Marlene immediately pulled Tina's hand and whispered, "Tina, let me tell you. Don't tell anyone. I just saw His Majesty and Jean go back to the bedroom together …"
"Ah?"
"I really didn't expect His Majesty's taste to be so heavy …"
"What!?"
"Say, His Majesty and Sir Jean together, who is the top and who is the bottom?"
"What are you talking about!?"
"That's why … His Majesty actually likes men!"
"Wait wait wait! There must be some misunderstanding!? "
"No, I saw it with my own eyes …"
