Chapter 1078 Tina Has Done a Great Job!
After winter, the weather got colder, and a few days passed. It was already the middle of the Sleeping Month, and the temperature in Ellington had dropped to about 10 degrees. In addition to soaking in the steel plant all day, Dikarios In addition, now there is another task, which is to summon the fire element once a year to start boiling water to collect warmth.
It's just that this year besides Ellington, there are many more cities - Twain had to allocate a few fire elements to each city, and used up all his summoning quota to meet the demand.
In addition to the Illus Empire, there is also the Ren Empire this year. New Bulkeso is located in the north. Now the temperature has dropped to more than ten degrees below zero and more than 20 degrees, even though most of their tribesmen have grown up. They have thick hair, but they also have a large number of young children who are difficult to withstand the cold, so their need for heating is still urgent.
After opening up the centralized heating, the Rennes Empire can survive this winter safely, and the population will definitely increase a lot next year - in the past, many young children with weak resistance would freeze to death in the Rennes Empire every winter.
Fortunately, the tasks of the fire element are not heavy. They only need to stand under the boiler every day in a daze. They have not yet possessed intelligence and have no other hobbies. They only know how to obey orders and do not need to put in fuel, so it is quite convenient and low-cost.
It was precisely because he felt the many conveniences in life in the new Bulqueso built by the Datang Chamber of Commerce that he became more determined to follow in Tang En's footsteps and learn from him.
At this moment, snowflakes were already falling in cities such as Ellington and Arinks in the south. The residents had all read the weather forecast, so they were not too surprised and took it one day at a time.
This snowfall was decided by Tang En and others, and the purpose was nothing more than to increase the atmosphere of winter.
If it were in the past, snow in winter would undoubtedly be a complete disaster. The snow would make it difficult for people to go out, the severe cold would affect outdoor work, and even hunting to obtain extra food would be impossible because of the cold. Many people would die in every snowfall.
But the situation is different now. With this year’s bumper grain harvest and the agricultural tax exemption policy, residents’ income has increased significantly. Every household has a lot of savings and surplus food, which is more than enough to survive the entire winter. Therefore, even ordinary people The common people in the small village are now in a relaxed mood to enjoy the snow scenery.
It's a pity that just when everyone else was relaxing and sitting in front of the window with a cup of hot tea and admiring the snowy scenery, Tang En, who brought them a happy life, had to stay in the study room of the palace. Listen to the reports from Alleria and Fiona.
"…Due to the low temperature and the rapid solidification of the asphalt, it has seriously affected the progress of the project. The main highway in the Rennes Empire, which was originally expected to be completed this month, may be delayed until the end of the year."
"Weren't you taking insulation measures?"
"Magicians have been arranged to accompany the construction, and fire elements have been summoned to maintain the molten state of the asphalt, but it will freeze quickly after it is laid on the ground. After all, the temperature in the Rennes Empire is too low after winter."
"All right."
Tang En shrugged and said: "Anyway, the project has entered the final stage, so there is no need to rush it for a while."
Alleria smiled and said: "But there are advantages to being too cold. It may be because of the lack of food in the wild, so a large number of wild ground dragons began to rush to find food for the winter, which actually allowed them to catch a lot of ground dragons. The scale of the dragon breeding farm has expanded a lot, and I’m afraid we can harvest a lot of earth dragon blood in the Dawn Moon next year.”
"The investment in the Renne Empire is finally about to see returns."
Fiona complained: "This year, hundreds of millions of gold have been invested in the Ren Empire."
"This kind of investment is worthwhile. Once the Earthly Dragon Blood starts to be produced, we can stably produce Oliha Steel. Not only can we complete orders from the Dragon Clan, but there will also be a large amount of Oliha Steel that can be used to produce weapons. The long-term returns are huge.”
After finishing speaking, Tang En signaled Alleria to continue the report.
"Since the centralized heating system has started to operate recently, Testero has also felt the benefits, so he proposed the idea of renovating other cities in the Rennes Empire. However, he currently cannot afford enough expenses and hopes to sell them. A portion of the mine shares will be exchanged for our transformation project.”
"This exchange makes no sense."
Fiona frowned: "He already knows that we have a star base and there is no shortage of mineral resources, and he still wants to exchange mine shares?"
Tang En nodded: "Promise him."
"His Majesty?"
"Of course we know that the resources in the star realm are endless, and Testero also knows it. It is precisely because he knows that he gave up the idea of continuing to hold shares in the mine."
Tang En said with a smile: "Testero also knows about my mission. He should know that my ultimate goal is to unify Purandal. However, as the king of the Renne Empire, he cannot directly say, I’ll merge the Ren Empire into the Illus Empire.”
Alleria nodded: "That's true. The king has the responsibilities of a king. If he does that, he will only be called a traitor by the people who don't understand anything."
Fiona suddenly realized: "I understand, that's why he had to use shares in exchange. He lost the ownership of the mine, but we paid for the renovation project, and the people also enjoyed the benefits and benefits, so there will be nothing to say about him. "
"This should be just the beginning."
Tang En's eyes narrowed as he smiled: "If nothing else happens, Testero will transfer the resources of the Renne Empire little by little... Without resources, the so-called inherent territory will become nothing." Slowly, the orcs of the Renne Empire will find that their country has been fully infiltrated by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, and they can no longer do without us."
"By that time, even though the Renne Empire still maintains its own sovereignty in name, in reality it will be no different from a territory of our Illrus Empire."
After finishing speaking, Tang En was a little bit dumbfounded: "I didn't expect that when I randomly arranged for Testero to take classes with Tina to learn some economics, it would eventually develop to this extent."
Alleria and Fiona also laughed: "If you put it this way, Tina will do the most great work in the future if the Ren Empire surrenders."
"No, even though Tina was just a little unlucky maid at first, under my training, she is now able to take charge of her own business."
Seeing Tang En's triumphant look, Fiona raised her eyebrows and said, "Your training?"
Tang En suddenly felt helpless: "Don't always think wrongly, I am a very serious person..."
Alleria, who had personally experienced Tang En's binding and whip skills, also began to roll her eyes: "Tick your own conscience, don't you feel guilty when you say this?"
"He obviously doesn't."
Fiona pouted, and then said: "If I hadn't accidentally bumped into Tina coming out of his room once, I probably wouldn't have known that Tina had been harmed by him."
"Ahem, let's talk about business. Let's talk about business."
"Well, the proposal from the Rennes Empire is relatively urgent. Xiao Ai was also invited as a lobbyist two days ago. Maybe Testero also knows that if the heating renovation is completed one day earlier, the Rennes Empire will be able to have less energy this winter. Many people died, so I decided to send a construction team over tomorrow to start work."
After Fiona thought for a moment, she said: "Considering that there are still more than twenty days before the coldest month, we should be able to provide heating to some cities by concentrating our manpower during this period. As for the villages and towns, we will I have no choice but to suggest to Testero that we should promote the urbanization of the Renne Empire as soon as possible.”
"Anyway, the heating renovation is not difficult. Let's find a way to construct it as soon as possible."
People die in the winter, not to mention Testero feels distressed, Tang En feels even more distressed. Now that Purandal only has so many living forces, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people can die in one winter. Who can bear this kind of inexplicable loss!
"Then it's settled."
Alleria nodded, took out another notebook and said, "There is also the construction status of aviation towers. As of now, the construction of aviation towers in major cities in the empire has been completed, including ancillary supporting buildings. In addition, , the traffic routes for the China Unicom Aviation Tower have also been laid out and can be put into use at any time. Many chambers of commerce have already offered to move into the Aviation Tower..."
Tang En was stunned: "They know what it is for? Are they so anxious to move in?"
"Even if you don't know, you can still make a good guess."
Fiona spread her hands: "Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, whoever has done business with us has ever lost money? Those people are now smart and know how to seize the opportunity. No matter what kind of business it is, it is better to be first."
"That's it," Alleria said with a very strange expression on her face, "I won't talk about those taverns, hotels and specialty shops. Even some chambers of commerce in the processing industry came to join in the fun... If they really rented it The bunks in the aviation tower, what will their expressions be if they find out that it will be an aviation hub in the future?”
The processing industry shop is placed inside the airport...it feels so beautiful when I think about it.
After Tang En thought about it for a moment, he said: "Although the birth of the artificial soul quantum computer has greatly increased the efficiency of engineering calculations, and civilian airships will soon be offline in large quantities, the training of personnel is not over yet. I estimate that the fastest The air passenger routes won’t be put into use until early or mid-year next year. Isn’t it too early for them to move in?”
"Why are you thinking about them so much?"
Fiona rolled her eyes: "We don't sell the shops anyway. Let them rent if they like. If we lose money, we can go home and cry. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. How can we take care of them every day like raising children?"
"So," Tang En smiled bitterly, "I'm just afraid that they won't be able to survive and go bankrupt..."
