Chapter 32: The Girl Who Resents
Despite repeatedly raising her rating of Donne, Fiona found herself underestimating him.
Don is not only a mysterious and powerful magician, he even really knows how to govern a territory!
It's not that Fiona doesn't know the benefits of this agricultural subsidy he released, it's just that there is no precedent for this in the empire, and Don suddenly did this, which made Fiona feel at a loss.
Make an agricultural subsidy today, and will there be a commercial subsidy tomorrow? Will there be another risk-taker subsidy the day after tomorrow?
It's all golden coins!
Fiona feels like Don is simply challenging the bottom line of being a ruler!
"I know what this gold coin is worth, but—why don't you discuss it with me?"
"Huh?"
"I'm a treasurer now! Or did you personally accept your fate! Fiona was furious, "But now? It's obviously a policy of spending gold coins, but you decided for yourself without consulting me, in that case, what's the use of me as a financial officer? ”
After saying that, Fiona huffed and crossed her arms and turned her face away, as long as she was not stupid, she could see that she was making a little petty.
Don smiled, it turned out that the problem was here.
"You're blaming me for not consulting you."
"Nope!"
"Yes."
"I just don't!"
I won't admit it!
Don said with a smile: "I'm not asking Brian and Edgar to keep it a secret, I haven't decided on a specific policy idea yet, and I still have to discuss it with you later, such as whether the subsidy is directly distributed to the farmers, or offset by Edgar's price reduction, and there are many more details in terms of specifics, which are all up to you to improve." ”
When Fiona heard this, she couldn't help but rejoice again, it turned out that it was not that she didn't discuss with herself, but that it was not time yet.
Don noticed the joy on Fiona's face and smiled, "Not angry? ”
"Angry! Very angry! ”
Fiona felt herself blush a little and hurriedly got up: "I'll go rest first!" ”
"Go ahead."
Donn shrugged and continued to eat.
As mentioned before, Ellington is a very backward town, there is no public lighting here, and there is no evening entertainment, and the people here basically sleep with their wives and children in their arms after dinner at night, and the warriors continue to exercise for a while and also rest, which makes Donn very unaccustomed.
However, this is not a matter of course, for the inhabitants of Ellington need to light candles at night, and a candle costs ten copper coins, which in their eyes are additional expenses, which can be saved.
Most of the lighting areas of the Lord's Mansion also use candles and torches, and only a very small part of them use magic lamps, Tang En has seen that the energy efficiency ratio of this magic lamp is extremely low, and it directly consumes magic crystals to maintain the lighting circle to illuminate, and does not improve energy consumption through careful design.
Even so, the value and consumption of magic lamps can only be enjoyed by nobles, and commoners don't need to look at it at all.
Don, who returned to the bedroom, couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up again and set up a silent magic array, and began to tinker with the chipper.
Compared with the stamping machine, the principle of the cutting machine is actually simpler, and there is no need to even consider the power factor.
However, the goal that Don wants to achieve is at least the level of being able to cut steel, so that it has practical value, and it is difficult to achieve direct wind spells, and in the end, it is necessary to consider the high hardness of the tool.
In the end, Donn chose to use pure gold to make the cutter bit - there was some leftover material from the previous ram, and only a small part of the cutter head was needed.
After the change of thinking, Donn's efficiency was much faster, and he roughly made the parts of the cutting machine according to his impression, leaving only the main part, just after the press was ready, he could experiment with the press.
But after all this, Don couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, he always felt as if he was missing something very basic, but also important.
It wasn't until he saw the finished parts that he suddenly came to his senses.
"Damn, forget about this stubble!"
Don slapped his head, got up in a hurry and started busy.
He's going to make a ruler.
True, Plandal did not have a uniform weights and measures.
Here in Prendal, each country has a different system of weights and measures, and if Donn chooses to use this standard, he will definitely encounter a lot of problems in the future, so he decided to recreate a system of weights and measures himself.
Donn intends to use the units of the earth, but the specific values are obviously impossible for him to measure accurately, in fact, even the current international standard units on the earth are not absolutely accurate, but are increasingly corrected with the improvement of the measurement level - but as long as it is within the allowable range of error, it is still used, and there is no problem at all.
"The length of one meter...... Hmmm......"
Don looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell to the ground, and he suddenly smiled: "Well, I'll learn from the British too." ”
Don took a step at random, and an Aojin ingot next to him hung in the air, and began to stretch according to his stride, and after stretching to a certain extent, a row of very accurate scales appeared on it, and the distance between each large scale was equal, and the total length distance was exactly the length of Don's step.
On top of this Okin meter ruler, centimeters and millimeters have been depicted, and with Donn's current strength, it is not a problem to accurately divide this distance.
Don grinned: "From today onwards, you are the absolute ruler, the prototype of the meter unit of Purandal." ”
Don't think that Don En is messing around, he is indeed determining the base unit, some people may say, wouldn't it have any bad impact if the unit of "meter" was determined so arbitrarily?
Rest assured, absolutely not.
Because the industrial development of human beings on the earth is carried out only after the unit is determined, the unit that was determined before that will not think about what happened later, and the industry will not develop normally?
The unit of feet commonly used in Western countries still comes from the length of one of the king's feet, and the unit of yard is also established by the king in a fit of anger - such a random unit of regulation has not seen any bad influence later, and has been used until now.
That's what Don did, he just had to set an absolute benchmark on which all future developments would be based, and nothing would go wrong.
It was a small step for Donn, but a giant leap for Plaindal, who ushered in a new era for Plaindal.
The length is determined, the volume is determined, and the weight is also well determined, Ao Jin itself is a very stable, dense and magical metal, even if it is placed in the air, it will not change much, unless it is used by special forging or magic, alchemy means will change, so it can not only be used as a standard meter ruler, but also as a kilogram prototype - at least more reliable than measuring water.
And the determination of this kilogram prototype......
Tang En took out another Aojin ingot and checked it, feeling that the weight was about the same, so he said casually: "Well, the weight of an Aojin ingot is set at one kilogram." ”
The metal ingots that Donn took out of his bag are actually in some ways an absolutely accurate unit reference, in the game, a unit of metal ingots is a unit, and there is absolutely no error, and when these metal ingots are materialized, they are actually absolutely accurate.
Therefore, it is actually quite reliable for Don to use Aojin ingots to formulate weight units.
After determining the unit, Don En sighed, and according to the standards he had set, he readjusted the various parts that he had made before, and this adjustment was that most of the night passed, and as a result, he had just fallen asleep in bed for a while when someone came to knock on the door.
Don opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawn outside.
Fortunately, he is now strong, and the powerful attributes of a full-level mage ensure that he can be energetic, so that he will not have the gas to get up.
"Hmm, who's going to come in......"
Don yawned, glanced over, and saw Tina walk in.
"Hmm, Tina...... Hey? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Didn't you get a good night's rest last night? ”
"No, no, I actually...... That ......"
Tina's complexion was indeed not very good, with two dark circles under her eyes, and she stared at Don with a resentful face.
And what about Donn? After asking casually, he went to the side to wash his face, he didn't know that he said a casual word yesterday, and the little girl was nervous all night, and she didn't sleep much, so she waited to listen to his call.
"Cool!"
The cold water hit his face, Don En was refreshed, and his tiredness was swept away, and then he picked up the World Tree toothbrush and dipped it in some coarse salt, brushed his teeth, and asked vaguely, "Tina, is there something wrong?" …… How do I feel like you're looking at me weirdly? Am I wrong? ”
Wrong! Very wrong! There are so many things that I don't know where to say it!
Tina was very sad and angry in her heart, and the girl who was full of shyness turned out to be idle all night, which girl would be happy to be treated like this? Hmm, except for Jitter M......
I thought I was about to usher in the most important day of my life, and I was even nervous for so long, and I was about to toss myself to death, but in the end, it was just wishful thinking!?
Your Lord!
Excessively!
It's just too much!
Do you like to play with girls' hearts so much!?
Tina silently questioned Don En in her heart, no way, Don En is a lord after all, she can't vent her thoughts and anger to Don En.
The difference between the identities of the two people is too big.
Donn, who was staring at Tina, was confused, and had no idea how he had upset this little girl.
Tina said faintly, "My lord, Mr. Brian just came to you and said that he asked you to come over after breakfast. ”
Brian looking for me?
Could it be that they also worked overtime all night and got things out directly?
Don was taken aback, he thought Brian and the others would have to be busy for a few days.
Is the dwarven forging technique so sharp?
"I know, I'm going to eat, you can go to breakfast too."
Don rinsed his mouth and went straight to the restaurant.
Tina watched Don leave, looking pitiful, like a resentful girl who was cruelly toyed with by Don and ruthlessly abandoned...... PS: Ask for collection recommendations for everything, book friends 10486634 welcome to irrigate~
