Chapter 224 I Have Always Been a True Gentleman!
"Today's headlines: This news was specially reported by our reporter Marlene. Our newspaper's president, Mr. Carr, deeply regretted after publishing false news and maliciously slandering several "ordinary residents" of Ellington. Under the witness of the majority of compatriots, Starting from the afternoon of yesterday, they performed a striptease around the town until nightfall, which had an extremely bad impact and attracted the enthusiastic onlookers of countless aunties."
"It is reported that Mr. Carl, the president, is young, handsome, and from a noble background, so his status in the hearts of Ellington women is second only to Lord Down. This time Mr. Carl boldly exposed his flesh, which not only stimulated the men on the construction site, but also It also stimulates many female friends and makes them more energetic."
"According to the survey, after yesterday, at least more than 30% of the ladies have changed from fans of Lord Lord to fans of Mr. Carl, and have strongly supported Mr. Carl. I hope he can continue to work hard and continue to bring more popular performances to them..."
In the newspaper office, Karl's face was pale, and his mind was blank now. He didn't even know how he got home last night.
Striptease?
What a hell!
It's obviously the lord's fault!
How could he himself do such immoral things!
If dad knew about it, he would probably rush over and kill him right away!
Karl shouted angrily: "Marlene doesn't want this month's salary!? And you! Don't you all want to do it!? How dare you publish my news without telling me!"
"That's nice to say..."
"Yes...Marin is the famous person next to the lord..."
"If you have the guts, you can really deduct her salary..."
"Speaking of which, today's newspaper is selling very well..."
"After all, the president's strength shows up..."
"That's right, the dancing posture and figure yesterday... tsk tsk!"
Looking at the playful looks of his reporters, Karl was dumbfounded.
As they said, he really didn't dare to deduct Marlene's salary for this reason, especially now that his economic lifeline was still in the hands of the lord.
Speaking of Lord Lord...
what the hell! You are obviously an employee working for him, how can you bully others like this!
How could he do this!
It was obviously him who asked me to publish those gossips! He also muttered about "opening branch lines and perfect strategy"...
hateful!
Karl felt very wronged, but he didn't dare to say many things, and couldn't say them. He could only knock out his front teeth and swallow blood, and he knew the pain.
Perhaps this is the sadness of journalists...
Karl wiped away his tears and went back to the house silently.
Lord's Mansion.
Fiona put down the newspaper and finally stopped laughing. Although she didn't know what happened yesterday, she knew immediately that it was Tang En who had taught Karl a lesson.
Let this guy arrange the lord, hmph, now you know how powerful he is, right?
But I didn’t expect... Ma Lin is actually a reporter from Datang Daily!
That is to say...
Did those "revelations" in the newspaper yesterday come from Marlene?
Fiona narrowed her eyes. Not many people saw that Tang En "pushed" Tina down. Apart from her, it was only possible that Tina accidentally leaked it to Marlene in private.
This Karl can do it. He has brought all the reporters to the Lord's Mansion.
But what should we do after we know it’s Marlene?
Tang En pushed the door open and was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? You look like you want to laugh but can't. It makes you uncomfortable."
Fiona had a headache, rubbed her brows and said, "Marlene is a reporter for the newspaper. She should have leaked yesterday's newspaper... You have always emphasized freedom of the press, but I always feel that the so-called "freedom" should have limits. Freedom, at least this propaganda channel should be in your hands."
Tang En picked up the newspaper, glanced at it a few times, smiled, and didn't care at all.
Fiona continued: "If the press and speech are truly free, then as the number of people in Ellington increases, it is likely that people with ulterior motives will soon take advantage of it and cause chaos here again. Therefore, public opinion is still It’s important to control what’s in your hands, don’t laugh.”
As the sales of Datang Daily increased, the influence and role of Datang Daily also gradually emerged. The literacy column developed by Tang En successfully allowed many illiterate farmers to master part of the text, and basic reading has been No problem, and with the popularity of writing, the sales of newspapers will become higher and higher, and there will be more and more problems in the future.
"I know this very well. Don't worry. The newspaper is just a preliminary attempt. I'm still thinking about some new things, but I have to take my time."
Tang En snapped his fingers: "By the way, I didn't come here to tell you this. Come with me, I've done all the road graders, pavers, and rollers in one go! You can come over and try it out."
"So fast!?"
Fiona was stunned: "Are you an omnipotent god!?"
Tang En shrugged: "Of course not, it's just the wonderful effect produced by the combination of alchemy and magic."
After Tang En came to Purandal, he has been implementing this method: he knows the general principles, then omits complicated mechanical principles, directly achieves the goal through the direct action of alchemy and magic, and then constructs a mechanical shape that meets the needs. Try it a few times to make sure you find the right idea.
Now it seems that this method is really beneficial. Convenient magic can achieve many originally complex mechanical engineering effects, and alchemy can help him process the required parts very conveniently, and even the precision is completely surpassed. Countless times the level of Purandar's current processing technology, the two combined together became Tang En's invincible super plug-in.
Road construction is a big deal. The key machinery that Tang En mentioned was built. Fiona of course wanted to see it with her own eyes. When she followed Tang En to the destination, there was already a circle of people here, including guards in training. The team stopped when they passed here. They were all curious about what these three behemoths were.
Danny said confidently: "If you ask me, this must be a magic construct created by the Lord. It can be used to guard Ellington!"
Uncle Depp slapped it: "Stop talking nonsense, do you think this thing looks like a weapon?"
Danny muttered: "But so much metal is used, what a waste it would be if it weren't for weapons..."
Tom patted his friend on the shoulder and joked: "Don't be so petty. Now we are not like before. It's just metal, not magic metal."
"that is!"
Ultraman said with envy: "When we first came here, you didn't even have decent armor. I heard from Miss Elsa that you will all be equipped with refined enchanted armor soon. We didn't even think about this treatment at first. Dare to think.”
"Of course. Under the leadership of the Lord, sooner or later we will ride all over the world and make everyone submit to his rule - Ouch! Uncle Depp, why are you hitting me!?"
Uncle Depp stared at Danny very seriously: "Little Danny, you must not say this nonsense in the future. If someone hears it, the lord will be in trouble."
Danny was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Sure enough, he is not from a regular army...
Ultraman sighed and whispered: "What you just said casually, if it falls into the ears of someone with care, will become evidence of the lord's rebellion, and it can easily be used against the lord."
"ah!"
Danny immediately covered his mouth.
"So you must watch your mouth...ah! The lord is here! Stand up straight!"
When Uncle Depp saw Tang En and Fiona coming, he immediately straightened his back and said, "Salute to the lord!"
The guards all saluted.
"Okay, okay, you can continue training. Don't look at Elsa not following. I guess she is counting the time."
Tang En waved his hand: "If you don't want to be punished, just speed up."
"As you command!"
Only then did a group of people come back to their senses, and all broke out in a cold sweat. You chased me to the training ground.
Tang En smiled: "Elsa is pretty good at dealing with them."
Fiona rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Isn't it thanks to the training method you helped her develop? Those people have been complaining about Elsa's ruthlessness behind her back, but they don't know that you are the real mastermind. Poor Elsa Sister Ersa has been taking the blame for you."
"I do it for their own good. I sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime."
"Okay, okay...these three stations are what you said?"
"Yes, this is the juncture between urban and rural areas. It is the most suitable place to experiment. First, the road grader, then the paver, and finally the road roller. You can then evaluate the time and cost required."
"Then let's get started."
Fiona was eager to try and walked to the road grader. As soon as she raised her feet, she took a step back with a blushing face and pressed her skirt: "You go first."
Dunn climbed onto the road grader and extended his right hand to Fiona.
Fiona rolled her eyes at him: "So you still know gentlemanly etiquette."
Tang En rolled his eyes: "What do you mean, I have always been a true gentleman."
Fiona was too lazy to talk to him.
Tang En started the road leveling machine, the magic engine started running, and the fuselage trembled slightly. After driving to the uneven dirt road next to it, Tang En adjusted the height of the leveling machine to maintain a certain distance from the ground, and then After activating the magic array on the leveler, the uneven ground was suddenly completely flattened!
After leveling about ten meters, the two got out of the car and checked. The gravel and weeds were also completely crushed under the influence of magic. The leveled ground was very flat. Because the pioneering road itself turned mud into stone. The effect is that the dense soil has been completely transformed into hard rock, and asphalt can be laid directly without laying pavement base material at all.
Tang En was very satisfied: "The effect is outstanding!"
Fiona patted the road in surprise, and then asked with confusion on her face: "Lord... Since this spell can simply and directly pave rock roads, it's already great. It's enough. Why waste gold coins?" Are you wasting manpower and time to lay another layer of asphalt pavement? Isn’t this unnecessary?”
Tang En: "..."
