Testero was deeply shocked, and the impact on his mind was indescribable.
Just by looking at the original design sketches, he knew how big and magnificent New Bul-Kathos was. But such a huge city, the Tang Dynasty Construction Chamber of Commerce only used a week to build it. This efficiency was terrifying!
He couldn't even believe that this was real!
But his attention was immediately diverted by Tang En's words.
"Water pipeline. Yes, I remember you saying that New Bul-Kathos has a water system!"
Testero had a fanatical look on his face. "Like the one in my room, where water comes out when you turn on the faucet?"
"That's right. Water drainage is a very important project in a big city. We can't be careless."
Tang En nodded and said, "Our technicians have already started the testing of the water plant. It's estimated that it can be used in two days. If you want to wait, you can wait. After all, it's very troublesome to not have water in the city."
"We're not waiting!"
Testero suddenly stood up. "Right now, my people are still eating the wind and drinking the dew outside. As long as they can live in a house that can shelter them from the wind and rain, a little bit of trouble is nothing. We can fetch water for ourselves for the next two days."
Tang En smiled and said, "It's up to you. The construction team will be back after they finish tonight. As for the matters related to New Bul-Kathos, I'll leave it to your soldiers to manage and coordinate."
Testero was stunned for a moment. He imagined the scene of his men doing such delicate work.
Testero scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Erm, Tang En Majesty, since you've already helped us up to this point, why don't we trouble your people to help us with the rest? Although my soldiers are good at fighting and hunting, I'm afraid they can't do things like taking care of the residents. Our municipal workers are also a grassroots team. They can't be compared to your people … "
Oh, after a few days of training, he even knows how to use idioms.
Tang En was suddenly happy. "This is a rare opportunity to train. Don't you want them to train?"
"No need."
Testero shook his head and said, "The problem of settling down more than a million people might cause a huge mess. I know where I'm at. Beastmen may be qualified warriors, but they're definitely not qualified politicians. We can't do this well, and we need to learn from you humans … There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Tang En was a little surprised. He did not expect Testero to be so honest.
After considering for a moment, he said, "Alright, then I'll help you one more time. I'll send someone to help you settle down. If you want Ursa to inherit your position in the future, perhaps you should let him learn from my people now."
"You're right, I almost forgot about that brat!"
Testero agreed. "I can't let him off this time. I've been sitting on the throne all day, unable to move. I'm about to grow lice. I need to quickly train him to take over my throne. Then, I can go and have fun."
Tang En's mouth twitched. The Beastmen's attitude towards royalty was exactly the same as the Dwarves'. The Dwarves were obsessed with forging, while the Beastmen were obsessed with fighting and adventuring. Among the Prandal races, it seemed that only the Humans were so obsessed with royalty. They were a little different.
In fact, helping Testero resettle the residents was only beneficial to Tang En, with no downsides.
This was because during the process of settling down the citizens of New Bul-Kathol, the distribution of classes, and even the financial situation of the people would be clearly displayed in front of him. This would be a great help to the Datang Chamber of Commerce's sales in New Bul-Kathol.
In fact, no qualified politician would be stupid enough to let an imaginary enemy help them build their own capital or even help them settle down the citizens. If the imaginary enemy really had the intention of invading, this would undoubtedly be the most foolish action. The key points of the city and the distribution of the citizens were clearly shown. It would be too easy to invade.
Fortunately, Testero met Tang En. From the beginning, Tang En had never thought of invading the Ryan Empire by force.
Compared to the bloodshed and internal friction of military conquest, he preferred to achieve mutual integration through economic binding and ideological invasion.
After discussing with Testero, Tang En's gaze fell on the nervous Xiao Ai's body … or rather, her chest. It could not be helped. The gravitational "wave" was too strong, and his gaze was involuntarily attracted to it.
Xiao Ai nervously lowered her head under Tang En's gaze. Her hands were tightly clasped together in front of her chest, and her arms were clamped in front of her chest. This made the gravitational wave on her chest even more obvious.
"Uh …"
Her reaction made it even harder for Tang En to look straight at her.
Testero, who was next to them, was immersed in the joy of moving into a new house. He did not notice that the two people next to him had inexplicably deviated from their train of thought. They were running wildly on a beautiful road.
Tang En looked away with difficulty and said as if nothing had happened, "The other good news is related to Xiao Ai. Previously, we said that we would transform Derby Village into a logistics transit station for the Datang Chamber of Commerce in the Ryan Empire. The construction is now completed, but the incident in New Bul-Kathos made us change our original plan. We don't think it's suitable for you to go to Derby Village."
Xiao Ai was stunned. Her big eyes instantly became watery. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"You, you don't want me anymore?"
Obviously, she had misunderstood something.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Tang En did not know whether to laugh or cry. "The work at the logistics transit station is more tiring. Moreover, it's a center that provides storage services for the subsequent transfer of goods. You're not familiar with this area, and you've only been studying sales and management recently. Wouldn't it be a waste of your time to go there?"
Xiao Ai's face was blank. Although she had learned a lot recently, she still did not understand things that were too complicated.
Tang En patiently said, "The construction of New Bul-Kathos has been completed. We have a large store there. As a branch of the Ryan Empire, we need a diplomat there. You will be the bridge between us and the consumers of the Ryan Empire."
The arrangements for the supervisor of the New Bul-Kathos branch had already been made. Fiona planned to let Thomas go there. She wanted him to temporarily put aside his business in Bein and go there to help Xiao Ai familiarize herself with things as soon as possible. Once Xiao Ai could take charge of things on her own, Thomas would be arranged to go to the branch of the Ronnette Kingdom. This time, he would be able to familiarize himself with the matters related to establishing a branch in advance.
The reason why Xiao Ai was chosen to be the supervisor of the New Bul-Kathos branch was that it was the capital of the Ryan Empire, after all. It would be inconvenient for a human to be the supervisor there.
However, if Xiao Ai was the supervisor, the situation would be much better.
Especially in the eyes of the consumers there, if there was a shop for orcs and a shop for humans in front of them, they would definitely subconsciously choose the shop of the same race. This wasn't discrimination, it was just the subconscious choice of living creatures.
All in all, there were many benefits to choosing an orc as the representative of the Datang Chamber of Commerce in the Ryan Empire, and Xiao Ai was clearly the best choice.
Moreover, she and Testero had received training together in the same class, so they were quite familiar with each other.
"Can … Can I do it well?"
Xiao Ai looked at Tang En very nervously. She had no confidence in herself.
Tang En pressed her shoulder and said seriously, "Trust me, there is a way where there is a will. There is nothing in this world that cannot be done with hard work."
Xiao Ai's eyes widened, and she said weakly, "But … There are so many people who want to become legendary masters, but only a few succeed …"
Tang En: "…"
His face was burning hot!
Tang En added with difficulty, "If there is, then it means that they are not working hard enough!"
That's right! Not becoming a legendary master was not because they were "unable", but because they were not working hard enough!
Xiao Ai wanted to refute Tang En, but when she opened her mouth, she swallowed her words.
She felt that no matter how she refuted, Tang En would find a way to smooth things over.
The next day, Tang En, Testero, Xiao Ai, Coco, Vanilla, and the others returned to New Bul-Kathos together.
"Yo! Dad, you're finally done with your class? "
As soon as they walked out of the portal, they ran into Ursa. The blood-eyed prince, who was covered in dust and had a sweat towel over his head, casually greeted Testero. Then, he pointed at the city in front of them proudly and said, "Open your eyes and look. Isn't it amazing?"
Testero looked at the city in front of him, and his eyes widened in shock.
"This, this, this —"
"Isn't it beautiful?"
Ursa laughed and said, "Isn't it? I didn't expect this city to be so beautiful after it was built. Look at the shiny glass that was shipped over. It's so beautiful under the light. Everyone can't wait to move in! "
"No, no, no!"
Testero was stunned. He turned to look at Tang En anxiously and said, "What I want to ask is, where are the city walls?!"
The city in front of them had no obstructions, and the wide road led directly to the city center. At a glance, they could even see the big square in the city center — there was a statue of the Fire God, Calomarifer!
"City walls? What do we need that for? It's too backward. "
Tang En pursed his lips and said, "I designed a central defense system for you. With the statue of the Fire God, Calomarifer, as the core, it can form a protective barrier with a radius of ten kilometers. It's more than enough even if New Bul-Kathos is doubled in size. Its defensive power is many times stronger than a city wall."
Testero's face turned red when he heard this. He felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Of course, he knew about the magical defensive barrier of a city, but the Ryan Empire had few Magicians. There were no Magicians who could set up such a barrier, so they could only look at it enviously. They could only try to make the city walls as high and thick as possible to increase their defense (in reality, they still couldn't stop Divines above the Gold tier).
He didn't expect Tang En to bring out such valuable technology.
Everything else aside, this debt was worth it just to get this large-scale barrier!
