"Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to get to the bottom of this, nor am I unwilling to cooperate. I'm just curious."
Testero looked at Tang En with a curious expression. "What can the Earth Dragon's blood be used for? As an alchemy potion? "
Tang En and Fiona glanced at each other, and after thinking for a bit, Tang En said to Testero, "Since we are cooperating, I can tell you the uses of the Earth Dragon's blood, but it's useless even if you know."
Tang En shrugged and continued, "We extracted a component from the Earth Dragon's blood that can be used as an industrial raw material. Because it has a wide range of uses, we thought of the Earth Dragon breeding industry. After all, large-scale breeding is beneficial for increasing the population and steadily producing blood."
"So that's how it is."
Testero nodded. "It's understandable."
"Then what about the draft?"
Testero said matter-of-factly, "Of course I agree. I'm not stupid, no matter how you look at it, our Ryan Empire is benefiting greatly."
'No, in fact, we are the ones benefiting greatly …'
'Not only are we saving a large amount of land and manpower, but we are also tying the citizens of the Ryan Empire to the Datang Chamber of Commerce through the economy. They are the real winners.'
Tang En and Fiona silently thought, but they didn't say anything.
"But we still have to think about the details."
Testero's mind was working faster than ever. Ever since he studied under Ellington, he had opened the door to a whole new world. Now, he clearly understood that this Earth Dragon breeding industry was a rare opportunity for the Ryan Empire to become prosperous. If they grasped it, the Ryan Empire would be able to escape poverty and everyone would be able to live comfortably. If they couldn't grasp it, the Ryan Empire would continue to suffer.
Thus, Testero was definitely willing to cooperate. As for the details, such as how to get more benefits for the Ryan Empire, that would need to be discussed.
Tang En faintly smiled and gave Fiona a "as expected" look before asking, "What do you think? I came here with Fiona to finalize this matter."
"Yes, it's mainly about the details of supporting the citizens of the Ryan Empire in breeding Earth Dragons. Although we know that it is profitable, they don't. Moreover, the cost of breeding Earth Dragons is very high. Not everyone would be willing to invest that much money, the risk is too high."
Testero chuckled and rubbed his hands. "Well, in the early stages, can you increase the investment and give us more support?"
"For example?"
"For example, if the citizens willing to join the Earth Dragon breeding industry, we can provide some subsidies for the early stages …"
After hearing Testero's words, Tang En could not help but laugh. "Good fellow, you're taking us for fools."
"How! Look at my sincere eyes! "
Testero's eyes widened. "I'm very sincere!"
Fiona faintly said, "Your Majesty Testero, the methods you learned from Ellington were all taught to you by us. Do you think we will take the bait?"
"Uh."
"Providing the citizens with financial support and subsidies for the breeding industry is the responsibility of the Ryan Empire's government. In other words, it is the responsibility of the Blood Eye Clan's royal family. Is it appropriate for you to push it to us?"
Tang En asked Testero in return. "We are not the rulers of the Ryan Empire."
Although the Datang Chamber of Commerce didn't care about this investment, it was obviously not appropriate to increase the cost of the industry for no reason. Of course, if Testero was willing to give them some preferential policies, the situation would be different.
"But you know my situation very well."
Testero's face was bitter. "I don't have money either!"
"Then let's change the method."
Tang En sighed. "We will fully invest, and your people will work for us. As for the dividends, don't even think about it."
"This …"
Testero obviously didn't want to give up the long-term benefits, and this industry could be planned for long-term development, so he was even more unwilling to give it up.
"You don't want to? That's easy. Let's do it the same way and use policies in exchange. "
Tang En spread his hands. "The only thing you can offer now is the relevant policies, right? For example, preferential policies for the farming industry? Tax exemption and so on? "
Tang En's words hit Testero where it hurt the most. However, if one industry after another was given tax exemption policies, when could he become rich?
Even if he sold things to the Datang Chamber of Commerce, it would still be difficult to subsidize his "household expenses" …
In the end, Testero couldn't hold back and used a year of tax exemption in exchange for the Datang Chamber of Commerce to fully support the development of the land dragon breeding industry in the Ryan Empire. At the same time, the Datang Chamber of Commerce would give priority to hiring poor people as employees and provide them with a complete living guarantee.
After making some minor changes to the draft, the two sides finalized the final cooperation plan and signed it on the spot.
After signing the contract, a relieved smile appeared on Testero's face. "My friends, you will definitely be glad that you chose to cooperate with us. I'm not bragging, but only the beastmen of the Ryan Empire know how to tame magical beasts like the Earth Dragons."
Tang En smiled noncommittally. "Since the plan has been finalized, we will set up a corresponding department to take care of this matter as soon as possible. The corresponding funds will also be in place. I hope that you can do the basic work as soon as possible, especially the selection of the land dragons. The land dragons must be as good as possible, and they must be healthy and strong. Only then will there be stable production."
"No problem. I will start this work this afternoon."
Testero readily agreed to Tang En's request. "Speaking of which, the Glory Festival in your human kingdom is about to begin, right? I believe that this year's Glory Festival will be more lively than the previous years. I wish you a big fortune in advance. "
Testero knew very well what the Irus Empire was like during Victor's reign. Ever since Tang En took office for half a year, the changes in the Irus Empire could be described as earth-shattering. One could only imagine how lively this year's Glory Festival would be.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Tang En and Fiona stood up. "Then we will take our leave."
After declining Testero's invitation to stay for lunch, Tang En and Fiona returned to Ellington.
"It will take at least half a year for the land dragon breeding industry to produce any results. During this time, I will set up a department to take care of this matter. You can rest assured."
"Of course I can rest assured with you in charge. What I am concerned about now is whether the currency reform can proceed smoothly."
Tang En furrowed his brows. "If we have completed the currency reform now, we can use this opportunity to promote the new currency to the Ryan Empire through supporting industries and expand the influence of the new currency. Unfortunately, we are one step too late."
"It's not too late."
Fiona smiled. "As long as the printing plan for the new currency is finalized as soon as possible, Her Highness can immediately make an announcement, and our activities can begin immediately."
Ever since there were teleportation circles and magical phones, it was much easier to do the same thing from thousands of kilometers away. Aurelia and Aurelia, who were in charge on behalf of Tang En, felt it the most clearly. Sometimes, there were many simple orders that did not require messengers to run errands. A phone call was all that was needed.
However, this also gave Tang En an idea. The magical phones could already transmit sound, text, and image information. If they were further modified and combined with a printer, would they be able to create something similar to a fax machine?
After all, sometimes it was more formal to send out documents, and it was more convenient to save them.
Tang En leisurely made his way to the Magical Energy Engineering Research Institute and found Clotho to tell him about his idea. Clotho could not help but widen his eyes and say with great admiration, "This is simply a genius idea! What you said is completely feasible! Although I don't know what the principles of magic are, we have already done the text coding work before. As long as we add a function to the printer to restore the transmitted magical waves and output text and images, we will be able to achieve the printing function. "
"Then I will leave it to you."
"No, I still need the help of Ms. Histisa or Master Tim. I can only provide help in the mechanical aspect. As for the magic aspect, I still need their help."
"I will go and find them."
Tang En immediately called Eustisa over and explained his idea to her. Eustisa agreed with Clotho's idea, and the few of them immediately began to try it out.
The first thing to solve was the problem of restoring the magic code. With the case of the magical phones, this function was actually very simple.
The second was to add a new code header to the magic signal of the fax printing, which would allow the printer to correctly recognize the signal after receiving it.
The third step was to combine the encoder and the printer. While outputting the magic wave code, the printer would be able to output the correct text and image information under the control of the encoder. This step was the most complicated, but with Klotto, the master engineer, and Histisa, the master alchemist, it was not impossible.
After the few of them worked hard throughout the night, the magically modified fax machine was successfully born.
From the outside, the fax machine looked like a square box, very similar to a home printer. Because the communication function of the magical phone was installed, a call terminal was added next to it. As long as it received the magic signal, it could completely copy the documents scanned by magic on another fax machine.
Originally, using scientific methods would require very complicated methods to achieve the effect, but here, using the incredible magic power took a shortcut. It was too simple to achieve.
Just as the few of them were about to celebrate the birth of another "epoch-making" product, a distinguished guest from Dragon Island suddenly arrived in Ellington.
He also brought a very exciting piece of news.
The Orica steel that Tang En needed had been obtained.
