Chapter 457 New Year, Work Begins! (Please Vote for Me!!)

Winter turns to spring, the permafrost melts, and greenery appears again on the land of Ellington - of course, the emerald forest next to it is still like spring all year round.

Throughout the winter, under the leadership of Lord Tang En, the residents here withstood cold, hunger, and attacks by monsters, and safely passed the most difficult period of the year.

Throughout the winter, no one in Ellington died due to cold and hunger!

In the entire Purandal, I am afraid that no lord or king can guarantee that no one will die in the winter, but Tang En has done it, and Ellington has nearly 50,000... No, after accepting the refugees, Ellington has now exceeded 50,000 The basic necessities of life for more than 50,000 people are above the subsistence level.

Even the vast majority of hard-working workers have entered the well-off era one step ahead of schedule.

And this process is still accelerating - Ellington has entered a period of rapid development. People will continue to gather here because of the wealth here, and this speed will also be accelerated due to the construction of highways. The interaction between Next, Ellington entered a new period in this year, the 850th year of the order.

Just as the residents of Ellington were walking out of their homes one by one, preparing to resume work, rows of magic road grading machines were neatly parked in a flat square on the outskirts of Ellington. Pavers and magic energy rollers were all made by workers who had worked overtime for more than twenty days, and are now being inspected by the goblins of Star Diamond Bank.

Yes, check.

After a short training, these cunning goblins have mastered the basic usage skills, but they think they can fully master the technology, so they always want to dismantle it.

"Report, everything is intact and ready for use."

"Report, everyone is in place and can start at any time."

"The driver reported that the seat height was too low and asked for an adjustment - they thought it would be better to dismantle the cab and rebuild it."

"turn down!"

Before Galian could agree, Tang En decisively interrupted them: "Don't always think about making big news. You are too young. I have a very high technical content. If you dismantle it, it will explode." , someone was killed, who is responsible?"

"of course--"

"Don't interrupt," Tang En waved his hand, "What's more, these magic machines were invested by us as an investor for the project. You only have the right to use them, and the ownership still belongs to us, Ellington. Who did you destroy? Accompany? The value of this magic machine is more than 10,000 gold coins. Just producing these magic machines has emptied our Ellington's finances for more than half a year. Is it easy for me? "

"That's it," Galian nodded, and then took out the loan contract cheerfully, "Don't be afraid, we can lend it to you if you run out of money."

Tang En curled his lips: "Who wants to borrow your kind of usury! Stop talking nonsense. You have already seen the construction drawings and you understand the construction requirements. The first phase of the project starts from Ellington, crosses the Ladia Hills, and connects The construction period for the two main roads in the mountain city of Bein and Castle Kaspami, as well as the cargo channel leading to Fort Forge for the rapid transportation of raw materials, is tentatively scheduled for one month. If it is postponed due to bad weather, we can start construction without any problem."

If someone on earth said that it would take a month to repair nearly a thousand kilometers of roads, the leader of the engineering team would probably be confused by a slap in the face. That’s not to say it’s impossible. In theory, with enough manpower and machines, it’s completely possible. It's feasible, but the problem is how can it be done when there aren't so many people?

Totally impossible!

But in Purandhar, this "impossibility" has become possible.

Although Purandar's industrial efficiency is extremely low, the magic energy machinery created by Tang En using scientific methods is a typical high-efficiency equipment. The efficiency that directly acts on the "phenomenon" is outrageous!

What does it mean to act directly on a "phenomenon"?

For example, in terms of road leveling, the earth must first be excavated, then crushed, then compacted, and finally leveled. These are the general steps, right?

But what about using a magic road grader? Because the purpose is to "smooth the road", we use earth magic to directly act on the uneven road, use magic to change the existing situation, and achieve the direct "phenomenon" of smoothing the road, avoiding other redundant steps. This is Gao efficiency reasons.

Therefore, although the total number of goblin construction teams sent by Star Diamond Bank is less than 5,000 people, under normal circumstances, the first phase of the project can definitely be completed within a month.

Tang En and Galian symbolically detonated a row of projectile artillery shells to celebrate the launch of the project, and then he stopped interfering with this matter. Other personnel from the Datang Chamber of Commerce were responsible for supervising this matter. He only needed to Just listen to the results report.

What he needs to focus on now is another thing: With the influx of winter refugees, Ellington has ushered in a peak period of migrant population. Now that winter has passed, how to arrange the new lives of these people?

They will definitely not be able to go back. In the current environment, the people in the territory are the private property of the lord. Escaping the territory without authorization can be regarded as defecting. The only possibility of returning is to have their heads hanged.

In other words, even if Tang En is not happy, they can only stay in Ellington.

Fortunately, Tang En is very welcoming of these fresh...well, prime-age labor force. The construction of Ellington is in urgent need of a large number of labor force. As the market continues to expand and its influence continues to increase, the products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce have begun to go out. The Illus Empire was sold to other countries.

Because shipments are getting larger and larger, various factories and production lines need workers. As a steady stream of people who go out to expand the market return, as well as those traveling to foreign countries return, they will bring more With orders and a larger market, the production pressure on factories will further increase. Entering the era of industrialization, the shortage of staff will only become larger and larger.

But now, due to the problem of grain production capacity, Tang En cannot recruit a large number of workers. He must reserve some farmers to continue cultivating farmland - after all, Druid Grandia can respond at critical moments, but it cannot replace so many. The power of farmers.

Increase agricultural production capacity, reduce the agricultural population, enter factory work, stimulate industrial progress, produce more advanced tools, and further increase agricultural production capacity. In the growth process of this mutually stimulating virtuous cycle, the excess production capacity generated is what makes society progress. The key factor.

These excess production capacities will make people rich, and then change the way of thinking from survival to life, and think about more things, culture and art, life and entertainment, physics and chemistry, magic and combat skills, and even the roots of all things...

The more these things are thought about, the faster society will progress.

In essence, Ellington is still in the process of transforming from an agricultural society to an industrial society. It will be difficult for Ellington to fully enter the industrial era before agricultural industrialization is fully realized.

The key to realizing agricultural industrialization now falls on Grandia.

After Tang En and Gallian separated, they came to Greenhouse No. 1, which was also an experimental seed base specially allocated for Grandia to use, allowing her to study selective breeding.

"How's it going?"

As soon as Tang En saw Grandia, he couldn't wait to ask about the situation. He couldn't help it. This project was related to whether Ellington's land could feed more people, and whether Ellington could enter the magic energy without any worries. During the era of the Industrial Revolution, Tang En certainly paid great attention to it.

It's just that there are too many factors that affect plant hybridization, and the technology is also quite difficult. Tang En only knows the principles, but he is blinded when doing it, so he can only propose this concept, and the only ones who can really do it are those who can communicate with nature. Only a master—a druid—can achieve that goal.

"It's difficult and troublesome, and because the difference is so subtle, the effect is basically invisible."

Grandia's face looked a little bad. Because she had bitten Tang En's hook cleanly, she had been staying in the greenhouse and not going out much in the past few days. In a small piece of land in front of her, there was a Clusters of vigorous wheat seedlings.

"Is it?"

Tang En frowned slightly, and then said patiently: "The genetic mutation process of biological evolution is inherently complicated and long, so be patient."

"Biological evolution? Genetic variation?"

Grandia looked confused: "I still don't understand. Life was created by the gods. What does evolution mean?"

"The gods hadn't appeared when the dwarfs and goblins were playing with nuclear bombs...were there no living things at that time?"

Tang En waved his hands feebly and said: "In short, take your time, keep the high-yielding plants, and then artificially pollinate them with other high-yielding plants to increase the probability of retaining good genetic genes. As for drought-resistant and flood-resistant species, we will talk about it later. .”

"Although I don't know what you are talking about, I still understand that high-yielding plants pollinate each other."

After a moment of hesitation, Grandia said crisply: "I feel like I can't handle it on my own. If possible, I want to return to the Emerald Corolla. If there are other priests from the temple to help, I think I can definitely complete this task. "

"Can the other priests in the temple help? They can't leave the temple."

Grandia rolled her eyes: "They just can't leave there. I didn't say they can't do their own thing. In fact, they are very free!"

"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Tang En smiled brightly. If there were help from those powerful earth goddess priests, a good result would be achieved soon.

After the food production capacity increases, we can liberally carry out drastic reforms and start the magic industrial revolution!

When the basic industry comes up and comes up with the magic-modified aircraft and cannons, no matter who the enemy is, they will crush them all and let them know how terrifying the magic-modified technology is!
