Donn's words revealed how much of an appeal to the dwarves were, just look at Brian's reactions.

Although Don didn't say anything specifically, the little things he casually mentioned were enough to open the door to Brian's new world.

Brian, who had planned to flash tomorrow, suddenly changed his mind, and he felt that he might as well stay in Ellington rather than travel elsewhere.

Maybe Don will give him other surprises!

"Stay and help me?"

Tang En's face was surprised, and then he waved his hand again and again: "Then how embarrassing, don't use it, don't use it!" You're a dwarf...... Uh, well, dwarves! Ellington has a blacksmith, and I can find him if I need anything, the same. ”

This cunning boy!

Brian scolded in his heart, he was cheap and behaved!

"How can that be the same!?"

Brian pointed to himself and said proudly, "It's not that I'm boasting, my forging skills are among the best among us dwarves!" Anything you can say, I'll type it out for you! And the quality is absolutely top notch! ”

In fact, Brian is really not boasting, a dwarven blacksmith is extremely popular no matter where he is, so he is willing to stay in Ellington, and Don is actually making a lot of money.

It's just that this guy hasn't taken the bait just now, and he has to throw out some dry goods before he is willing to take the bait, which makes Don a little unhappy, so he deliberately fishes his appetite.

For a race keen on blacksmithing, nothing is more appealing than a new, more durable material.

So Don was confident that he could keep Brian.

"Really?" Don looked at Brian with great suspicion.

Brian patted his chest: "Of course it's true!" ”

"I hope you don't regret it then."

Don had a strange expression on his face, and he accepted Brian.

Many of the things he had in mind couldn't be made now, because the world lacked the most basic industrial system, everything had to start from scratch, and Brian's forging ability, coupled with his alchemy skills, was the root of it all.

He will prescribe units and standards from scratch, and here he will be the founder of everything.

The next day, Don woke up and stood in front of the sink with a tangled face.

It's the third day since he arrived in Plainal, and he hasn't brushed his teeth in two days......

There are no toothbrushes, no soap, and washing your face is just a matter of washing your face with water, and there is no difference between nobles and commoners, and there are some luxuries that may soak some flower petals in water or something.

Fortunately, the people of Plandal are not like the European Middle Ages on the earth, who do not take a bath for several months or even for a lifetime, and the people here still love to be clean, plus there is a clear emerald river next to the town, and the clear and sweet river water can be taken at any time, so there is no bad smell on the people here in Ellington.

"Let's get a toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap out for the past two days...... I remember that the horsetail can be used as a toothbrush, the toothpaste is mixed with gypsum, fat and salt, and if it is soap, I vaguely remember to boil animal fat and plant ash...... Well, I have a general impression that I can figure it out by tinkering. ”[e1]

After washing his face, and letting the maid take some salt and rinse her mouth, and tidying up a little, Don went downstairs.

"Big brother!"

As soon as he went downstairs, he heard the crisp voice of Little Lori, Tang En was stunned and smiled: "Iliya is here." ”

For Iliya, Tang En's impression is very deep, this little girl is a rare magic affinity, if she cultivates it carefully, she will definitely become a powerful mage in the future, this kind of talent Tang En will not let go.

"Your Lord."

Elsa said apologetically, "Illya has to come to thank you for saving her and not disturbing your rest, right?" ”

"No, no."

Tang En waved his hand, squatted down and hugged Illya, and said with a smile: "Now that the bad guys are gone, they won't be scared anymore, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

Elijah was very happy and put a grass ring on Don's head: "Big brother, this is what I made up, it smells very good, I'll give it to you." ”

"Hmm...... What does it taste like? ”

Don was stunned, isn't this mint? Ellington still produces mint here?

"Illya, don't mess around, how can the lord wear such a thing!"

Elsa fears that Elijah will upset Don and hurriedly stops her.

"No, it's okay, I'm happy."

Don smiled, "Illya, where did you find this mint grass?" ”

"Mint?"

Illya was confused for a moment, and saw Don En pointing to the grass ring, and then suddenly said: "It turns out that this grass is called mint, and it's by the river, there are a lot of them." ”

"Mint grass?"

Elsa was also stunned, she had also seen this grass, and the smell was quite unique, but it didn't seem to have a name, right? There were adventurers who gave it the name of the eye-catching grass, but then it was forgotten.

"Can you take me to see it?"

After seeing peppermint, Don instantly had a lot of ideas in his mind, peppermint has a great effect, not only can be used as a spice additive, but also edible, medicinal, he wants to make toothpaste and soap can also add some peppermint flavor, the smell is more fragrant.

Elijah nodded without hesitation.

Elsa and Elijah had already had breakfast, and by the time Don had eaten breakfast and was about to go out, Fiona appeared in front of him.

"You're going out?"

Fiona frowned: "There are a lot of things waiting for you to decide in the lord's mansion, what are you going out for?" ”

Tang En said awe-inspiringly: "Of course, for the sake of Ellington's future, if my own territory is not even clear to me, what kind of development can I talk about?" ”

"That makes a lot of sense."

Fiona nodded: "Then I'll come with you too, just go out to see the farmland in Ellington." ”

Fiona joins the team.

After instructing the maid to collect some ponytail hair, the group walked out of the door and walked directly out of the town, along the way Don kept observing the surroundings, shaking his head as he watched, and sighed in his heart.

Although he had no knowledge of urban planning, he knew that Ellington's layout was so poor, with unstructured buildings, no unified plan, no underground drainage, and no public lighting.

Donn intended to rebuild all of Ellington once and for all - the buildings in Ellington were now small and inexpensive to rebuild, and they were still within acceptable limits.

And he is still a lord, and everyone must obey the orders he says, and there is no need to worry about anyone objecting.

Rebuilding Ellington would also breathe life into the town and give everyone something to do.

All in all, it's a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone. [e2]

After silently replanning Ellington in their minds, the group had already reached the edge of the farmland outside.

"Ellington's farmland is not small, but because of Buck and others, a large part of the farmland has been abandoned before, and there is no land for planting at all.

Tang En thought for a moment and said: "Then mobilize it, just say my words, whoever opens up new farmland, the harvest tax of the new farmland will be exempted in the current year, and half of it will be reduced in the following year, I believe they will be happy to do it." ”

Fiona gave Don a blank look, and this guy waved the banner of tax reduction again, but since he had already decided, Fiona could only write it down.

"Your Lord!"

When the farmers in the fields saw Donne, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

Don nodded, his gaze fell on the farm tools beside them, and he couldn't help frowning: "Fiona, all the farmers in the empire use this kind of farm tools?" ”

The farm tools they use to take care of the fields are all made of wood.

"It seems to be all in my impression, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you use iron?"

"Iron?"

Fiona's eyes widened: "Iron is so important, of course, it is used to make weapons and armor to defend the country, how can it be used to make agricultural tools?" ”

Don looked at the sky speechlessly, and after a while, he said faintly: "Fiona, what do you say is the root of a country's stability? ”

"The root of stability?"

Fiona obviously didn't think about this question, thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "The combat effectiveness of the army? ”

"I think it's a powerful master, right?"

Elsa offered a different opinion: "If there is a legendary master in charge, the country will be much more stable. ”

"Yes, it's not right," Don shook his head, "you haven't seen through the roots, whether it's the army or the legendary masters, they are all the people. ”

"The country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented, and the issue of food is not only the most basic need for human survival, but also the eternal theme of national stability and social development."

"If the people of a country don't even have enough to eat, and the question they worry about every day is what to do with the next meal, then how can the country be strong? Can it not be messy? On the other hand, if everyone in a country can eat enough and do not have to worry about being hungry, then after people are full, they will naturally think about other things, such as making money, exercising combat skills and magic, and enhancing combat effectiveness, and the strength of the country will be strong. ”

"Therefore, a strong agricultural foundation is the foundation of a country's stability."

Speaking of this, Donn suddenly asked, "Where's Brian?" ”

"In the morning I arranged a house for him, and he said that he would decorate it, at least like a blacksmith's workshop."

"Hmm."

Don didn't expect at first that an important reason for the low grain yield here was that the tools were not up to standard, isn't this a joke, you have to use iron! Let's go back and talk to Brian.

After a while, after exploring the world and studying the magical power clearly, maybe you can make out the scarifier, seeder, and combine harvester? [e3]

Don rubbed his chin and smiled strangely.

At this time, Tang En was stunned: "Why is this land doing this?" ”
