Fiona was a little resentful that Tang En spared no effort to provide for the refugees in Bul-Kathos. After all, the people in the Irus Empire were not even completely well-off yet. It was a little too hasty to rush to support a foreign country.
But she knew about Tang En's plan, so she did not oppose him and only raised a question.
"The original food reserves have all been supplied to Bul-Kathos. What if there is a snowstorm this winter and there is a shortage of food?"
Faced with Fiona's sharp question, Tang En smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there is such a situation, we will interfere even if it means destroying the climate."
"Oh?"
"And you are thinking too much. After all, staple food only takes up a third of the food. If we lack this part, we will use other parts to make up for it."
Tang En was referring to meat and fruits.
"The results of the intensive promotion of intensive farming this year are average. The main preferential policies are tilted towards farming, so the development of animal husbandry is relatively flat. Most importantly, there is no breakthrough technology, so we can only slowly raise animals. Therefore, it is not realistic to rely on meat produced by animal husbandry to make up for the shortfall."
Fiona said, "There is no need to worry about fruits. We have the Emerald Forest and the support of the elves. Fruits can make people vomit, but fruits can't be eaten as rice."
Tang En smiled and said, "There is a large amount of canned fruits to supplement vitamins, a small amount of meat to supplement protein, some vegetables, and a fixed amount of staple food. This combination should not be a problem."
Vitamins? Protein?
Fiona was confused and directly ignored these two strange words. She said, "Don't forget, there is also a large shortage of food in the underground world that needs to be transported from here. The shortage of food this winter is still very large, and it will be difficult for us to make up for it."
"We will work hard for another year. When spring comes next year, the improved seeds of Grandia and Eutinia will be planted. At this time next year, the production of food will more than double. Not to mention the current population, we will be able to feed twice as many people."
Tang En, on the other hand, was full of confidence. After all, by then, not only would there be improved seeds, there would also be the plant growth catalyst solution that could be mass-produced. At that time, the improved seeds would be paired with the plant growth catalyst solution, and the wheat would grow like crazy. The final production would probably be heaven-defying!
Perhaps under the special effects of the plant growth catalyst, Kaldar (Prandal wheat, as Tang En called it) could be planted twice a year!
This thing was much more awesome than Jinkela.
"We'll talk about next year's matter next year. I think the only solution this year is to further popularize the greenhouse planting technology."
Fiona sighed and said said, "Although the technology, it is, it is useless to promote it in Ellington. Only if all the cities and villages in the Irus Empire use of this technology will the production of vegetables and fruits and vegetables and fruits and vegetables and fruits and vegetables and.."
"Of course I know."
In fact, Tang En had already asked Aurelia to promote the technology. However, due to the cost, not many landowners could afford to use it. But now that cheap glass had replaced the expensive crystal, the cost had dropped to an acceptable level, greatly facilitating the promotion of the technology.
"I have already discussed it with Aurelia. The promotion of the technology should start during the Month of Celebration. We will use the Festival of Glory as an opportunity to promote it on a large scale. When we enter the Month of Withering, we will complete the support of the technology and materials in all the major cities."
Tang En looked at the rumbling combine harvesters in the fields and said casually, "The biggest factor that affects the promotion is still profit. Without enough profit, those scattered chambers of commerce and traveling merchants will not be willing to join in and provide support for the greenhouse planting technology. If we only rely on our own strength, it is really too difficult to spread the service network to every city and village."
Fiona was speechless. This was indeed a cruel reality.
No matter how strong the Datang Chamber of Commerce was, it was still too difficult to extend its reach to every city and village. It was not impossible, but it would take a very long time to achieve.
Now, the only way was to use the merchants and merchants who had their footprints all over Prandal to attract them to join.
"In other words, we will implement a regional agency system."
Tang En said lightly, "We will give up a part of the profit and authorization, and let them help us promote the product, construction, maintenance, and other services."
Fiona, who was used to holding all the profit in her hands, sighed. "Like you said, giving up a part of the profit to get faster development and a better development environment, right?"
"That's right. Use the profit to tie them to us, and they will not be able to leave us."
Tang En said with a smile. "The more dependent they are on us, the more important we are, and in the end, they will be swallowed by us little by little."
"It is also possible that they will raise monsters to eat us."
"It is possible, but it is not realistic."
Tang En laughed. "As long as we maintain the lead in technology, no one will have that kind of opportunity."
"You are too confident … I feel that this kind of confidence will destroy you."
"No, believe me, I am the man chosen by the gods …"
Tang En was just about to tease her when he suddenly froze. He saw a bus stop by the side, and then a group of burly people from the orc empire got off one after another.
Then …
Tang En looked at Sharp Tooth with a strange expression. Beside him, Testero, Ymir, and the others also looked at Sharp Tooth with a strange expression.
As a Legendary Master, he had actually …
"Urgh!"
Carsick!?
"Did Master Sharp Tooth eat something bad last night?"
Coco whispered. "He ate a lot in the tavern last night …"
"No."
Fiona's mouth twitched. "He is carsick …"
Ever since public transportation became popular, carsick had become a common occurrence. In the entire Irus Empire, there were at least 10,000 cases. At first, Fiona and the others were panicking, thinking that there was a big problem, and this made Tang En nervous.
But after asking, they found out that it was just carsick.
But … Damn, this was a disgrace to a Legend!
His physical attributes were frighteningly strong, his dynamic vision was amazing, and his motor nerves should be very developed. How could he get carsick!?
Speaking of which, this guy was not only an otherworld creature, but also an orc. Why would orcs get carsick?! CAROL RIVER Are you an idiot?!
Sharp Tooth spat out his breakfast and stood up straight. He was furious and wanted to rush forward with his axe, but fortunately, he was stopped by the others.
"Don't stop me! I am going to smash this thing! "
"Look at your temper."
Angus looked at him with disdain. "It's just a car. Look at how angry you are."
"A car? I've never seen such a terrible thing before … It can actually make my body feel so uncomfortable! "
Sharp Tooth's expression was very ugly as he roared, "I was fearless when facing the Chaos army, but now I am afraid of an inanimate object! Disgrace! This is disgrace! I must destroy it! "
The others did not react, but Sharp Tooth strongly suspected that this was a terrifying weapon that Angus had made to deal with him!
"Calm down …"
Testero tried to persuade him. "It's good to smash it, but you can't afford to pay for it …"
"…"
Sharp Tooth immediately calmed down.
Yes, although he was a Legend, Sharp Tooth was also a poor man …
This bus looked extraordinary, and it was a specialty of Ellington's. If he damaged it, he really could not afford to pay for it …
Testero, who was now in debt, was scared when he saw something that looked like something valuable. He was afraid that he would break it.
It was really strange to be a king like him.
"So that's the combine harvester?"
Testero immediately changed the topic, focusing his attention on the combine harvester in the distance. When he saw the combine harvester walk past the fields and harvest all the crops, his eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.
The Ryan Empire's food production was low, on one hand, because the land was barren, and on the other hand, because the orcs were not keen on farming. But if there was such a labor-saving machine, even the orcs could do their work well, right?
Introducing such a machine would definitely increase the country's food production greatly!
"Yes."
Testero did not care if he was in debt or not. He asked impulsively, "How much is it?"
Tang En's lips curled up, and he immediately went into sales mode. "This is something that we have only recently developed. Currently, we do not have enough for our own use, and we do not have plans to export it to the outside world."
In fact, ever since Fiona had represented the Datang Chamber of Commerce and donated a batch of combine harvesters to the royal family, the production of the combine harvester was basically in a stagnant state. The magic machine factory's main production was focused on the production of Harley motorcycles and magic buses.
"Oh … Is that so …"
Testero was very disappointed.
Tang En was dumbfounded. What the f * ck, why don't you keep asking for it!
Don't you really want it!?
If you don't keep asking for it, how would I know that you really want it?
You don't play by the rules, do you?
Fiona and Tang En's minds were connected, and she immediately knew what he was thinking. She pretended to be careless and said, "Your Majesty, recently when you were not around, we added a few more production lines. The combined harvester, multi-purpose magic planter, and magic sprinkler have greatly increased the production capacity. Now, we can basically meet the domestic market's needs. Selling a small amount to the outside world won't have much of an impact …"
Testero's eyes lit up. "Tang En Majesty! Please sell us a batch! "
Well done!
Tang En secretly praised Fiona. He finally understood the key to dealing with an idiot like Testero.
Go straight to the point and do not play tricks.
"In that case, since we are friends, I will sell them to you for 20,000 gold coins each — Irus gold coins."
Tang En looked like he was bleeding a lot, but Fiona, Angus, Vanilla, and the others who knew the price could not help but roll their eyes.
Something that was priced at 10,000 gold coins was sold for 20,000 gold coins, and he looked like he was bleeding a lot. Could he be any more shameless?
