Harold used to be a half-dead beggar on the streets of Ellington. However, as one of the earliest workers to join the Datang Chamber of Commerce in Ellington, he was now a foreman of the Tang Steel Mill. His life had changed dramatically.
The position of a foreman of the steel mill brought Harold many benefits, including a welfare house in the new city district. Although the house was good, it was a little far from the steel mill. The Tang En Majesty said that the steel mill would cause pollution, so all the factories were divided into industrial zones.
Harold used to live directly in the factory, but since the Datang Chamber of Commerce developed the bicycle, Harold also bought one. From then on, he could ride a bicycle to and from work every day.
Although he still wasted an hour on the road every day, riding a bicycle allowed him to chat with his colleagues and exercise his body. It was a good choice.
Not long ago, the Datang Chamber of Commerce suddenly launched the Harley-Davidson motorcycle. As a member of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, Harold could buy a Harley-Davidson motorcycle at an internal price. The market price was 500 gold coins, while the internal price was only 100 gold coins, which was equivalent to one and a half months of his salary. It was quite a good deal. However, Harold was not willing to buy it. He wanted to save money to marry a wife.
Seeing his colleagues buy a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with one or two months of their salary, and then leave him far behind when commuting every day, Harold was in a dilemma.
Motorcycle or wife, which one should he choose?
In the end, Harold chose to save money to marry a wife.
The gods seemed to be on his side. Because not long after those guys bought the Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the public buses that had been circulating in the Chamber of Commerce finally began to be delivered.
Among them, the thing that made Harold the happiest was the public bus from the industrial zone to the new city district!
Finally, he did not have to ride a bicycle to and from work every day. He could take the public bus!
This morning, after Harold had breakfast, he carefully groomed himself and then went out with a refreshed look.
"Hey, Harold, why don't you ride a bicycle?"
Anderson, who was next door, patted the Harley-Davidson motorcycle next to him and said happily, "Listen to me, hurry up and buy one. This thing is very cool!"
"No, Anderson, I don't think I need a vehicle."
Harold chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten that the buses to the industrial zone will start operating today?"
"Bus? My friend, are you crazy? "
Anderson laughed exaggeratedly. "Don't tell me you want to squeeze into a metal box with so many people and then walk slowly to the factory? Stop joking. You'll suffocate to death. "
Harold said very seriously, "Anderson, don't talk nonsense. The bus is eating our company's products."
Anderson immediately shut his mouth, but his face still showed that he didn't care. He sat on the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, patted his butt, and directly left.
Harold sighed. He closed the door and walked to the street. After a few steps, he arrived at the bus stop. Although it was the first day of operation, Tang Dynasty Daily and the radio station had been promoting this for a few days. At this moment, there were many people waiting at the bus stop. Most of them were chatting excitedly, looking forward to the appearance of the bus.
Harold did not join in the fun.
At this moment, a clear voice rang out beside him. "Hey, hello. Did you come to take the bus because you heard the news too?"
Harold nodded. He turned his head and was suddenly stunned.
At this moment, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. The whole world was overshadowed, and only the girl in front of him was so dazzling.
"H-hello, my name is Harold. I work in the steel mill …"
The girl stretched out her hand naturally and gracefully. "Hello, my name is Tobia. I work in the mint sugar factory."
Harold said a little nervously, "I'm 28 years old. I'm a native of Ellington. I'm single and have a welfare house in the new district …"
Tobia was stunned. She suddenly laughed, her voice crisp and pleasant. "You're really interesting."
Interesting?
Harold's face flushed red. He really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Ah, the bus is here."
Tobia suddenly smiled and said, "Are you willing to sit and chat with me every day from now on?"
"Yes! Of course! "
"Heehee ~"
Tobia smiled and walked onto the bus. She put in five copper coins.
Harold followed closely behind her. Then, the two of them sat side by side on the seat at the back.
Harold felt a little dizzy as he smelled the mint fragrance wafting from beside him. After so many years, this was the first time he had been so close to a girl.
Who would dare say that the bus was bad?
He could get to know a girl and spend some time together. He could totally express his charm freely. As long as there was enough time, he could totally solve the problem of marriage!
He had never held such a devout and strong belief in Tang En as he did in this moment.
Tang En Majesty, you're practically a god descended from the heavens. You even calculated such a thing!
"Achoo!"
"What's wrong with you?"
Grandia looked at Tang En with a puzzled expression. Then, she looked at the wheat in her hand. Could he be allergic to this thing?
"It's nothing. Continue."
Tang En rubbed his nose and continued to listen to Grandia's explanation of the latest generation of improved wheat.
Thanks to Eutinia's help, Grandia's progress was very good. In the past few months, the yield of the few carefully selected improved crops had increased by 50% compared to the beginning. This meant that if the original yield of 100 kilograms per mu was 100 kilograms per mu, the yield could now reach 150 kilograms per mu.
Although there was still no way to compare with the 400 kilograms per mu of wheat on Earth, it was already quite a gratifying improvement.
Most importantly, this data was calculated based on the previous planting technology. If they used the magical tillage machine to carry out fine plowing, the average density of the plants would be higher. Then, with the use of the plant growth catalyst, the yield could be increased again. Reaching 300 kilograms per mu would not be a dream.
Although the plant growth catalyst shortened the maturation time and could not achieve two or even three maturation in a year like rice, the time saved could be used to plant other crops, such as seasonal vegetables and fruits, and could also be used to make up for the shortage of food.
"… In short, I have to take back what I said to you at the beginning. You're not daydreaming. This method really works."
Grandia looked at Tang En strangely. "This method can not only increase the yield of the plants, but it can also be passed down stably. It's much better than soaking in the Water of the Spring of Life."
"Of course. I've long said that this is a task that will last for a thousand years. It's enough to make you a great man and be thanked by everyone."
"Hmph. Although I'm not satisfied, you're right."
Grandia raised her head and snorted. "And I've found one thing. Although the yield has increased by 50%, I feel that this method of improvement has not reached its limit. It can still be further optimized, whether it's the further increase in yield or the enhancement of other characteristics."
"This will depend on your and Eutinia's efforts. Perhaps one day, humans will place your statue in the center of the city and worship you as the God of Agriculture."
Tang En teased her, but Grandia's eyes suddenly widened. With a look of longing and apprehension, she said, "The God of Agriculture?! No, that's impossible, I, I'm just an ordinary elf … "
"As long as you do it, there's nothing impossible in this world."
Eutinia raised her head expressionlessly. "Pfft."
"What are you laughing at?"
Eutinia lowered her head again and said faintly, "I'm laughing at the ridiculous idea of mortals."
Tang En stared at her. "Can't we have a nice chat? Can't you see that I'm just encouraging her? "
"Meaningless nonsense."
Eutinia said casually. "It's better to draw a few more interesting comics."
Tang En then realized that she was actually holding a forbidden 18 manga and reading it happily.
Hopeless, this goddess is hopeless!
Tang En was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. He took out a bottle of plant growth catalyst and handed it to Grandia. "This is plant growth catalyst. It can accelerate the maturity of plants and increase production. See if you can find anything from it."
Grandia stared at the liquid in the glass bottle and frowned slightly. "There's no fluctuation of life force at all … Are you sure this thing is effective?"
"Of course it's effective. We've already tested it and are preparing to mass produce it."
Tang En shrugged and said, "We plan to use this thing to improve crops. After the effects are stacked, the production of food will increase by leaps and bounds. Next year will probably be the year with the best harvest in history."
"I'll test it. Do you have anything else?"
Grandia raised her eyebrows and planned to chase him away.
"Ahem, that, um, actually …"
Tang En's eyes were a little evasive. "Have you seen Aiguin recently?"
Grandia's face immediately fell and she said stiffly, "Go, go, I don't want to see you."
"Hey, hey, what do you mean?"
Grandia completely ignored Tang En's protest and forcefully pushed him out of the Garden of Life.
"Lord Tang En?"
"Oh, a famous car … Maserati Officiant."
The elegant and beautiful officiant said faintly, "Please don't make a ruckus here … If you want to find Lady Aiguin, please go find Mathilda."
The captain of Isalie's bodyguard?
Tang En was a little surprised. After expressing his gratitude to the Maserati, he went straight to the Queen's Palace. After asking a few palace guards, he successfully found Mathilda.
"Lady Aiguin?"
The sleepy Mathilda yawned and said, "She should be in the sky garden. Recently, we often practice swordsmanship there …"
