"My Lord?!"
Fiona was shocked and stood up abruptly to object.
Tang En waved his hand and pushed her back.
Tang En smiled. "Don't worry. He's not a suspicious person."
Tang En was sure that Karl was not a suspicious person. On one hand, the Bolet family had a good reputation in the empire. On the other hand, Karl was not a spy.
Not to mention that he was a joker who ran away from home in his twenties, the things he wrote in his notebook had already revealed what kind of person he was.
Look at what this narcissist wrote. Not only did he know the location of his neighbor's tryst, he even remembered that the guard's pet was about to give birth. This guy was clearly a paparazzi!
Wasn't this kind of person suitable to manage Tang Daily?
"Thank you for your trust, my Lord! And thank you for your permission. "
Karl showed a standard aristocratic smile. "But as for working for you, please forgive me for not being able to accept it. I think I have enough gold coins to support my life in Ellington."
"Oh?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows and threw the bag of gold coins to Fiona. "Fiona, take it. This is the gold coins for Karl to buy the right to live in Ellington."
Then Tang En turned his head to look at Karl. "Sorry, what did you just say?"
The smile on Karl's face froze. "My Lord, you can't do this …"
Tang En pointed at himself. "I'm the lord, right?"
Karl nodded.
"I have the final say on who can live in Ellington, right?"
Karl nodded again.
"You want to live in Ellington and wait to see the elves, right?"
Karl nodded repeatedly.
Tang En spread his hands. "Then what right do you have to negotiate with me?"
Karl nodded … and shook his head violently. "No, no! I've never heard that you need to buy the right to live somewhere! "
Tang En revealed a very shameless smile. "This is Ellington. I call the shots here. If I say you want to buy it, you have to buy it."
Karl looked like he was about to collapse. This was the first time he had met a noble as shameless as Tang En … Even if other nobles were shameless, they would pretend to be righteous, but who would be like him, directly showing shamelessness on his face?
"Well, Mr. Carl, I wonder if you need my job?"
Tang En grabbed Carl's hand enthusiastically and said with a smile, "You know, I have a job here that is very suitable for you. If you accept it, then … I might agree to let you meet the elves."
"Really?!"
Carl excitedly held Tang En's hand. "Then it's a deal!"
"Of course, I'm a man of my word."
Tang En smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Then you can go out for a while. I'll arrange your work later."
After sending Carl out, Fiona was anxious. "You trust him so much? What if he steals the processing method of the mint candy and soap? "
Tang En shrugged. "Don't worry, I can see from his diary that this guy is a clown. I just happen to lack someone to host Tang Daily. How can I let go of the paparazzi that came to my door?"
"Clown?"
Fiona obviously couldn't understand this word.
"Well, anyway, it's a harmless character. The Bolet family's reputation is quite good. Don't tell me you don't know this family."
"I know, but nobles are fools who don't show what they look like … My Lord, I'm not talking about you."
"Of course I know."
Tang En looked indifferent. "The air conditioner has been installed for them. Work efficiency should be improved a lot. Hilton should have no complaints when she comes back."
"I hope so. Now I'm counting on her and Thomas to open up the market in Bein and bring us a steady stream of gold coins."
Fiona flipped through the notebook. "In addition, the air conditioner you made today, if it can be mass produced immediately, I'm afraid it will immediately cause a trend among the nobles and bring us a lot of gold coins."
"Mass production immediately … It's a bit difficult."
Tang En scratched his head. It wasn't difficult for him to draw the triple magic array manually, but the problem was how to draw it in batches. Even if he found a mage, they might not have such precise magic control ability, and he couldn't afford to use this ability now.
"Can't you find a way to solve it?"
Fiona looked at Tang En with tears in her eyes. It wasn't easy to come up with a good product. If Tang En said that it couldn't be mass produced, Fiona would really cry.
"Well … Let me think about it."
Tang En sighed. "Also, how long will it take for the steel mill to be completed?"
"According to the drawings you gave, they are rushing. Brian and Elsa will occasionally go over to help. With their help, the efficiency is very fast, but it will take at least seven days."
"Seven days … That's too slow …"
This efficiency was actually acceptable, but it would be even faster if there were mages in the construction team. If Tang En did it himself, he would probably be able to finish it in a day. However, the problem was that if the efficiency was too fast, it would be regarded as a miracle by the residents of Ellington, and large-scale prayers would easily alarm those guys …
Tang En didn't want to alarm those people, so he could only tolerate this efficiency.
Otherwise, he could recruit some mages to do construction in Ellington, but the current Ellington … Was it possible?
"It's not slow anymore!"
Fiona said unhappily. "Don't you think about how many people there are in total? If it weren't for Elsa and Brian's power solving many problems, I'm afraid it wouldn't be completed in a month. "
"I got it. What else?"
"You said before about the replanning of Ellington. If you really plan to do so, it's best to start right away."
Fiona flipped through the book. "Recently, the residents of Ellington have been motivated and interested by the continuous construction. Coupled with the new jobs and rich salaries, they already have some savings in their hands and can bear the losses during the transition period."
"If we don't start now, they won't have time to build when it's the Month of Harvest, and the following Month of Harvest is the Month of Celebration, so they won't start construction."
"Replanning …"
Tang En was a little distressed. He originally thought that there was nothing to do, but after asking, he found that there were a lot of things to do.
Ellington had to be replanned. The town had no plan at all at the beginning, and the construction was very unreasonable, which was not conducive to future development. Instead of a big project in the future, it was better to start the replanning and construction now.
"Okay, I'll remember it."
Seeing that Fiona was going to continue reporting, Tang En's scalp tingled. He hurriedly said, "I'll go arrange Carl's work first. I'll start thinking about the mass production of air conditioners and the replanning of Ellington later. That's all, you can continue with your work!"
Tang En ran out of the study after he finished speaking, and Fiona was so angry that she stomped her feet.
After taking Carl around Ellington, he took him to an inconspicuous house. This was the temporary editorial department of Tang Daily.
"Your task in the future is to collect the latest, hottest, and most interesting things happening in Ellington every day, then organize and type them, and use this printing machine to print them …"
Tang En briefly explained his task to Carl and taught him how to use the printing machine.
Unsurprisingly, after hearing about the job that Tang En had arranged for him, Carl was so excited that his eyes shone. This job was just to his liking. There was nothing more exciting than digging up interesting things and sharing them with others.
However …
"Why does Ellington have so much paper to use?!"
Carl was very surprised. "This newspaper is probably very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive, one silver coin per copy."
"What!?"
Carl's eyes widened. "Only one silver coin!? A piece of paper costs ten silver coins! "
Tang En smiled faintly. "No, this paper is produced by Ellington itself, so the cost is low. You can use it without worry. There's enough for you."
"Produced by itself …"
Carl's breathing quickened. It seemed that Ellington had more secrets than he thought!
"Good luck, young man. Do a good job. I have faith in you!"
Tang En gave him a thumbs up. "If you work hard and satisfy me, I might let you meet Ellington's elven partner."
Seeing that Carl was so excited to work that he didn't even ask about his salary, Tang En revealed a smile. He knew that he had found the right person.
After taking care of Carl's matters, Tang En returned to the Lord's Manor and went into his room.
After giving the Great Tang Daily to Carl, he had less work to do each day and he could calm down to think about problems.
The first problem was the mass production of the air conditioner.
The so called Magic Air Conditioner, the most important part was the three Magic Arrays on the board. Other than the three Magic Arrays, the air conditioner was just a simple metal box.
Because it was very detailed, normal magicians couldn't grasp it at all. Tang En couldn't stay at home all day to make this thing, so how could he mass produce it was a large problem?
"If it was the technology from earth, although there were many parts, it would be easy to mass produce it. But this Magic Air Conditioner … …"
Tang En muttered to himself. Of course, the outer shell of the air conditioner could be made with a punching machine, but the substrate and magic array could not. If the magic array was a simple pattern, Tang En could totally make a seal mold, and just hold the substrate and stamp it with all his might. But the magic array diagram was made up of magic dust or other magic materials, which would produce an effect. If it was just …
"Wait a minute! Stamp? Magic Dust? "
Tang En suddenly narrowed his eyes and tried hard to grasp the idea that flashed through his mind.
Stamp … … Board … … Magic Dust … … Magic materials … … Magic power flow … …
"There's a way!"
Tang En's eyes suddenly opened wide and he couldn't help breaking out in wild laughter.
He suddenly thought of a wonderful idea. If this method worked, not only could it solve the mass production problem of the air conditioner, it could even be expanded to other places in the future. There were too many uses, it could be considered a revolution in Magic Array technology!
