Chapter 236 New Energy Strategy

In the study, Tang En had stopped speaking, but his voice still echoed in the hearts of several people.

An era... of magic crystals?

Because I have never experienced it, I cannot understand the importance of energy to social development.

Replacing backward manpower with magic energy will bring about a huge increase in social productivity. At the same time, the status of magic crystals that represent magic energy will also increase. Whoever masters the magic crystal will have the right to speak and wealth.

If we don't master the magic crystal mine in advance now, then when Tang En's magic energy machinery comes out in large quantities and the consumption of magic crystal increases, the person who laughs the most in the Illus Empire will probably be Grand Duke Frank, because The Qadir family has a monopoly on the magic crystal mines of the Ilrus Empire.

"I still don't quite understand..."

Aubrey frowned and asked, "Can you be more clear?"

"What a fool."

Adrian mocked Aubrey mercilessly, but he himself only understood it half-heartedly...

"The reason is very simple, let me put it this way."

Tang En thought about it for a moment and said: "In the age of manpower, if you want more people to work, you have to feed them. So if you master the food, you can make people work for you."

"The magic machinery I developed will bring about changes in production efficiency. Many things can be done by magic machinery. The efficiency is many, many times higher than that of human power. And the food that makes these magic machinery work is ', that is, 'energy', which is the magic crystal."

“In this coming era, if you master energy, you master wealth, you master power, and you master the future!”

Tang En emphasized it three times in a row - because it was very important - and at the same time emphasized his tone and clenched his fists: "So, I think it is necessary for us to take control of the Kadir family before the era of magic energy comes. Get the magic crystal mine!"

silence.

"Baron Down, let's not talk about how we get the Kadir family's magic crystal mine. Can you first explain why you are so confident in the magic machinery?"

Alleria looked at Tang En from side to side and felt that he was not pleasing to the eye. Of course, this was because Tang En had "taken care of her many times" when she transformed into "Ye Ge", but even without these reasons, she I also feel that Tang En's plan is very unreliable.

You have confidence in yourself, okay, it doesn’t matter, but why do you let everyone have confidence in you?

You know, this may be a huge gamble that blocks the future of the entire country!

Why do you let everyone end up with you?

"Good question."

Tang En gave a thumbs up, and then said without hesitation: "The reason why I am confident is because I developed the magic machines, and I know very well how much potential they have!"

So thick-skinned!

If she could, Alleria wanted to throw the tea in the cup at his face to wake him up.

But after listening to Tang En's words, Aubrey, Victor and Adrian fell silent one after another. Compared to the emotional Alleria, they were more rational, so they could analyze more from Tang En's words. s things.

If everything is true as Tang En said, and the largest labor force in the entire society has changed from human power to magic machines, and magic machines need to consume magic crystals, then of course those who master the magic crystals will have the greatest wealth. .

And what advantage do they have now?

Right of prophecy.

Tang En has already described the grand blueprint to them, and he is very confident in realizing this future.

Tang En revealed this information to them. On the one hand, Tang En could not eat such a big cake by himself, so he had to find them to cooperate. On the other hand, it was because they were in the same camp. The interests can make the relationship between the two parties stronger.

That being the case, why not give it a try?

Even if he fails, it won't be worse than it is now - an emperor with few available people, if he doesn't even have the courage to take the most gamble, what's the point of living?

What's more, he also knew that the gods were protecting Tang En, and the ideas brought by the Son of God were probably the will of the gods. In this case, how could they fail?

Bet!

"Baron Down, if you are confident, then I am confident too. I think we can discuss the details of this plan in detail."

Victor agreed first. When Aubrey and Adrian saw that Victor had agreed, they could only grit their teeth and follow.

There is no way, they are all grasshoppers on the same rope, both prosper and lose.

"That's natural. Without His Majesty Victor's support, it would be much more troublesome to implement this plan."

Tang En showed a bright smile. It was the best result for them all to join in, which provided great convenience for the execution of his plan.

"Our time is very tight now, because at Ellington, the processing workshop has been split up, and the production line is being reorganized. Once the training is completed, a large number of magic machines will be rolled off the production line, and at the same time they will go to various places to start sales. Once the magic energy is witnessed Due to the mechanical effect, the price of magic crystal will inevitably rise, so we must complete all this in the shortest possible time."

Tang En first analyzed the situation, and then said: "Your Majesty Victor, you need to enact some laws as soon as possible to restrict the export of magic crystals, while locking domestic demand in the market, creating the illusion of a saturated magic crystal market, lowering the price of magic crystals, and increasing the price at the same time. The cost of mining magic crystal——"

"Wait a minute! I know how to do the first few things, but what does increasing the mining cost have to do with me?"

"Halo, you can indirectly increase costs, such as promulgating laws to improve the treatment of mine workers, formulating mine safety standards, and requiring that each mine must meet the conditions for safe mining before it can start construction - in short, our goal is to improve The cost of mining magic crystals has driven down the market price, making the Qadir family decide that the magic crystal mine is a burden that cannot provide them with any income at all."

"But doing this..." Victor was still puzzled, "After we take over in the future, our mining costs will also increase."

"This is inevitable."

Tang En explained: "With the progress of society, safety standard requirements will gradually increase, and costs will inevitably rise. But thank me, due to the emergence of magic drills, mining efficiency has greatly improved, so costs will not increase. On the contrary, it will drop a lot.”

"Well, I hope it's really what you said."

Victor can only choose to believe Tang En now.

"Then, Dukes Aubrey and Adrian, what you have to do is to create a tense atmosphere - let the Qadir family feel the pressure, but at the same time not be too nervous, otherwise a war will easily break out."

Aubrey said disdainfully: "As long as I walk around the military camp twice a day, that old bastard Frank will get nervous without saying anything."

"That's because he's worried that you, a reckless man, will go on a killing spree if you disagree with him!"

Adrian said angrily: "Now we need to act - Baron Down, please continue."

Tang En withdrew his sympathetic gaze: "Frank is a very confident, but also very suspicious person. If he feels the pressure, he will definitely take action. The most exaggerated one is naturally to prepare for war - then he needs to reduce the burden on the family and try his best to The greatest possibility is to get rid of burdens and transform them into wealth."

"In other words, under the combined effect of these several conditions, he is likely to sell off the mine!"

"Yes, our purpose is to cause him to misunderstand and let him start selling the mines. At the same time, we must find a way to take over these mines at this time. In order to avoid the situation being too tense and leading to the outbreak of civil war, once the mines are acquired, We must stop all actions immediately to avoid going off the rails and starting a war, which would be more costly than gain."

After carefully analyzing Tang En's plan, Adrian took a breath: "Baron Tang En, you are playing with fire. If you are not careful, you will become the sinner of the entire country!"

If any of these plans goes too far, it may cause social unrest, and the royal faction and the aristocratic faction will go to war directly.

There is no doubt that Tang En is preparing to let them walk a tightrope.

Tang En curled his lips: "Wealth can be found in danger. Besides, the situation is already very unfavorable to you. If you don't fight hard, how can you reverse the situation?"

Victor and the others couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

The economy is constrained by the aristocratic faction, and no matter what the royal faction does, they can't make a difference. After all, human beings are motivated only by interests.

If we don't fight now, the Royal Faction may be forced to surrender by the Noble Faction before long. By then it will be too late to fight back.

To put it bluntly, the current situation is very simple. Whoever has money is the boss. What Tang En has to do is to use the power of Victor, Oberry and Adrian to dig deep into the Kadir family. A big piece of fat meat, and then several people eat it. Although this description is very disgusting, it roughly means that.

And in this process, the most critical thing is not to make the Qadir family feel pain, but also to let them feel the sense of pleasure after abandoning the fat...

Tang En had already spoken out the general plan, but the specific details were up to Victor and his group of political people to discuss the layout. As a result, this discussion lasted all night until the next morning. The meeting to secretly carve up the future pie of the Ilrus Empire was finally over. The plan also had a specific execution document, detailing how to implement each step and even how to acquire the Kadir family's mines in the end, and even the distribution of benefits. It has already been divided - since it is Tang En's plan, and Victor also knows Tang En's identity, he gets 50% exclusively, Victor represents the royal family and gets 30%, and Obury and Adrian represent Foel and Bo. The Wright family each got 10%.

As a thank you to Victor, Tang En handed over to Victor the fact that the Kadir family was looking for someone to assassinate him and the evidence, which made Victor overjoyed.

Afterwards, Tang En, who had received five million gold coins, left the palace with satisfaction and went to Frank to complete the transaction.

This time Frank said nothing more and completed the transaction very simply. Of course, at this moment, he had no idea that he had fallen into Tang En's trap.

Afterwards, Tang En returned to Ellington. For his energy strategic plan, he also had his own tasks to complete next.

His own mission is to buy time for Victor and the others.

Allow them to complete the layout, plenty of time!
