Look?

Look!

Even Fiona, who didn't know Brian's identity, was stunned by this fact.

Brian's unreliable appearance all day long could actually be the former king? No matter how you think about it, it feels like it's a miracle that the dwarven kingdom hasn't collapsed now!

Not to mention that he actually has a son!

This news can definitely make the headlines of Datang Daily tomorrow!

"I was scared when I first found out......"

Don spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I'll be honest with you, when I first met Brian, I doubted his identity, I thought he might be a dwarven prince, but after arriving at Fort Hammer...... He really gave me a big surprise......"

Fiona came back to her senses at this moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that we Ellington have invited a great man......"

"No, no, no, not a big guy."

Don shook his head: "Brian is still Brian, they dwarves don't care about this, after stepping down, Brian is the same as a most ordinary dwarf, which is very different from us humans." ”

"Okay......"

Fiona struggled to calm herself down from the shock of the news: "So, what's the good news you're going to say?" ”

"Don't worry about recruiting dwarves, I can guarantee that we will definitely be able to recruit a lot of dwarven craftsmen this time."

Don said proudly, "The exact number is uncertain, but there are dozens of dwarves on the road who are sure to come to work in Ellington." ”

"Well, that's good news!"

Fiona was very happy, the more dwarves Don recruited, the faster Ellington could build, the stronger the place, and the stronger her sense of accomplishment. The glory of the Golden Rose family will surely shine again with her!

"No, no, that's not the good news I'm going to say."

Don shook his head, interrupting Fiona's fantasies, and continued, "Halfway through, we passed through a place in the Dwarven Realm called the Black Swamp. Then I discovered that the black swamp was a huge natural asphalt lake! ”

"Natural asphalt lake? What is that? ”

"It's a complex substance, you don't care what it is, you just need to know that this kind of thing can be used to pave roads, pave very flat and high-quality roads, whether it is a carriage to transport goods, or to transport soldiers, the efficiency will be greatly improved!"

Don said excitedly, "I've already proposed to Durandon that he wants to develop the asphalt lake, and he originally wanted to give the asphalt lake to me—"

"Unacceptable!"

Fiona said decisively: "On the one hand, this favor is too great. On the other hand, we don't have that many people to mine there! ”

"That's right!"

Don looked at Fiona with great relief, worthy of being the heir of the Golden Rose family, and saw through the problem at a glance.

"I refused, and proposed another plan, that is, to jointly develop the Black Swamp with the Dwarven Kingdom, I provided the technology, and they provided the property rights of the Black Swamp, and the proceeds were divided equally ......"

"That's a good idea." Fiona's face was full of admiration, "Although it looks like we have lost a huge benefit. But after receiving the benefits of the Black Swamp, the Dwarven Kingdom will definitely appreciate our proposal, which will make our relationship closer and stronger, and it is the best proposal in the long run. ”

Tang En spread his hands: "But they didn't think it was troublesome, so they still refused." ”

"Huh?"

Fiona was dumbfounded: "What then?" ”

"So, I thought of another solution. Since they're too troublesome, we'll develop it......"

"But didn't you just say that? We don't have that much human resources...... Wait a minute! Are you—"

Fiona's eyes widened, not sure of her guess.

Don smiled, "I propose, although it is developed on our side, it is not suitable for humans to enter here. So we have to hire dwarves to mine for us, and we pay them directly, and this salary is also used as the price of mining the asphalt lake, and Durandon is very happy with this proposal, if nothing else, this should be the final solution. ”

"Isn't it...... Are they so lazy? ”

Fiona couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this a sacrifice for the end? ”

Don shrugged: "Who knows? ”

"Well, if this asphalt lake can be developed successfully, and the paved roads are really good, then we can even do business with the imperial family."

Fiona's eyes sparkled: "If you can improve the efficiency of transporting soldiers, you can strengthen the power of the central power, and I think the royal family of Illus, which is extremely weak now, must be very interested." ”

As I said before, in Plandal, unless it is very urgent news, magic means will be used to communicate, the high cost of magical remote communication means, and the backwardness of ordinary remote communication means have led to an unprecedented weakness of centralized power, and the major territories are almost independent, which makes the royal family of Ilrus very distressed.

If Donn can pave easy and smooth roads to connect all the major cities in the whole territory of Illuth, then the royal family of this business empire will be happy to pay for it.

"Not only that, but we can also make money by laying roads."

Don smiled and told Fiona about the toll highway that everyone on Earth hates, and Fiona immediately became excited after hearing it: "So there is still such a way!" ”

"That's right, this is called gathering the strength of all the people to build a flat avenue, although the cost borne by individuals is very low, once there are more people using it, this is a treasure trove that continuously produces gold coins."

Tang En said with a smile: "What's more, our cost is very low, the asphalt lake only needs to provide salaries to the dwarves, and they will help us mine it, the cost of raw materials is almost negligible, and it is estimated that it will not take long to recover the cost." ”

"And this is still a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, my lord, this idea of yours is enough to go down in history and let all the people admire."

Fiona grew up in a large family, and her vision and knowledge were far beyond ordinary people, and she saw much more than Don had imagined.

The people of Plandal are not stupid, they are just limited by the world environment, and Don only needs to come up with a little bit of a new idea. People here will also draw inferences and think more.

It can improve transportation efficiency, which means that the cost of transportation per unit time between cities will be greatly reduced, which will greatly reduce the price of cities with asphalt roads, but the profits will increase.

After seeing this advantage, the city lords of other cities. The lords of the realm will also rush to apply for asphalt roads, and even the big chambers of commerce that have tasted the benefits may reach out to Ellington and offer to pay for the construction of asphalt roads for their main trade roads.

In other words, Tang En's idea can make money from the Great Chamber of Commerce, the Imperial Family, as well as the major city lords, lords, and countless civilians!

It's a genius idea!

However, it all builds on what Donn said that asphalt roads really are.

But did Don ever disappoint Fiona?

No.

So Fiona is very confident, and has even begun to plan in advance in her mind.

"One more thing, I also spoke to Durandon today about the trade request for copper ingots and copper ore, and he said that he would discuss it with the King's Council. If it passes, there will be no need to fight with those nobles in terms of metal copper, and I will bring back a batch of metal copper directly after the wine festival, and then the tap water system can be started. ”

"Another piece of good news!"

Fiona smiled: "It seems that your trip is really worth it." ”

"That's a must, if there's no gain, then I'm not running for nothing."

Don took it for granted: "But it's also because you're in Ellington, so I can go out with confidence, otherwise I'll be entangled in mundane things all day long." I don't have time to do this. ”

Hearing Don say this, Fiona immediately lowered her head shyly. Feel yourself.

Why did he say that?

Is it trust in me? Or is it an indirect confession?

Could it be that he finally realized how important I was? So for me......

If he's going to say those things next...... So what should I do?

Oh, what a trouble...... Is it better to get married in Ellington? Or is it better in Alinks?

Is it better to have a child in the future? Or is it better to have two?

If you have a child with a lord, there must be a good chance that the child will become an apocalypse......

"Fiona? Fiona? What happened to you? ”

Don looked at Fiona with a puzzled expression, why did this girl suddenly blush and bow her head and stop talking.

Fiona, whose face was flushed, stole a glance at Don, only to find that his face was very calm...... This bastard!

Fiona was immediately disappointed. She knew she was thinking too much again!

Wake up, Fiona! After so many times, why haven't you understood it?

He's just a stupid idiot who doesn't understand the amorous feelings!!

Even if he understood, Fiona still felt very disappointed, couldn't he surprise himself once in a while? Even if it's a sudden sneak attack......

Yes! Calm down! Be sure to calm down! Don't think about it!

"What's wrong with you?"

Don looked at Fiona, who suddenly fell silent, and felt a little strange, seeing that her face was a little red. I touched her forehead involuntarily, and then I was startled: "Ah! It's hot! Are you sick? Is it blowing too much air conditioner so you catch a cold? ”

Fiona bit her lower lip and said hatefully, "You're sick! ”

"Not sick? How-"

At this moment, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and Tina, who was wearing thin pajamas, walked in with a smile on her face: "Fiona-sama, I'm coming-"

The words stopped abruptly, and a smile froze on Tina's face, and Tina blushed at the sight of Don and Fiona's ambiguous posture.

"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Tina bowed deeply, and Don's heart jumped, and out of the corner of his eye he saw something terrible from her neckline, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

Tina got up and was about to run in a panic, but her legs went weak and she stumbled.

The nightdress was flying, and Tang En subconsciously looked back, but his heart jumped again, and he seemed to see a full moon in front of him.

I saw the terrible picture again, and his heart was pounding wildly.

"Tina! No! You are mistaken! Come back! ”

Fiona was in a hurry and rushed over to grab Tina before she could run out. (To be continued.) )

PS: Anyway...... Can I book a monthly pass for next month?
