Winter turns to spring, the permafrost melts, and the land of Ellington reappears green – and of course, the nearby Emerald Forest is still like spring all year round.

Throughout the winter, under the leadership of Lord Donn, the inhabitants of the area withstood cold, hunger, and the onslaught of monsters to survive the most difficult period of the year.

Throughout the winter, the whole of Ellington didn't kill a single person from cold and hunger!

In the whole of Plantal, I am afraid that no lord or king would dare to guarantee that no one would die in winter, but Don did it, and Ellington was nearly fifty thousand...... No, after accepting refugees, Ellington has now exceeded 50,000 people, and more than 50,000 people have food, clothing, shelter and transportation, all of which are above the subsistence line.

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

And this process continues to accelerate - 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 by the construction of roads, and under the interaction of Ellington, this year, the 850th year of the order, entered a new period.

Just as the residents of Ellington walked out of their homes one by one and were ready to resume their work, in a flat square on the outskirts of Ellington, rows of magic road levelers, magic pavers, and magic rollers were neatly parked, all of which had been made by the workers who had worked overtime in the previous twenty days or so, and were now being inspected by the goblins of the Star Diamond Bank.

Yes, check.

After a short period of training, these cunning goblins have mastered the basics of how to use them, but they think they have mastered the technology completely, so they always want to disassemble it.

"The report, all in good condition and ready for use."

"The report is fully in place and ready to start."

"The driver said the seat height was too low, so he asked for an adjustment – they thought it would be better to tear down the cab and rebuild it."

"Dismissed!"

Without waiting for Garion to agree, Don Decisively interrupted them: "Don't always think about making a big news, you guys, you're too young, I have a very high technical content here, if you dismantle and blow up and kill people, who is responsible?" ”

"Of course it is—"

"Don't interject," Don waved his hand, "What's more, these magic energy machines are our investment for the project as an investor, you only have the right to use it, and the ownership still belongs to us Ellington, who will accompany you if you break it?" The value of this magic energy machine is more than 10,000 gold coins, and just producing these magic energy machines has hollowed out our Ellington's finances for more than half a year, am I easy? ”

"I see," Garion nodded, then heartily pulled out the loan contract, "Don't be afraid, we can lend you if we run out of money." ”

Don pouted: "Who wants to borrow your kind of usury!" Don't talk nonsense, you have already seen the construction drawings, and you have understood the construction requirements, the first phase of the project starts from Ellington, crosses the Ladian hills, connects the two main roads of the mountain city of Bein and Casparmyburg, and in order to quickly transport raw materials, the cargo passage to Fort Hammer, the construction period is tentatively set for one month, if it is postponed in bad weather, there is no problem to start construction. ”

If someone on the earth says that nearly 1,000 kilometers of roads will be repaired in a month, it is estimated that the leader of the engineering team will be slapped in the face, not that it is impossible, theoretically speaking, it is completely feasible to have enough manpower and enough machines, but the problem is how can it be done when there are not so many people?

It's simply impossible!

But in Plandal, this "impossible" becomes possible.

Although Brandal's industrial efficiency is extremely low, the magic energy machine that Donn has created using scientific methods is a typical high-efficiency device, and the efficiency of directly acting on the "phenomenon" is outrageous!

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

For example, when it comes to road leveling, the earth first digs, then rubble, then compacts, and finally leveling, and these are the general steps, right?

But what about using the Magic Energy Road Leveler? Because the purpose is to "level the road", it is a direct "phenomenon" that uses earth magic to directly act on uneven roads, and uses magic to change the existing situation and achieve a direct "phenomenon" of road leveling, avoiding other superfluous steps, which is the reason for the high efficiency.

Therefore, although the overall 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 will definitely be completed within a month.

Tang En and Garion symbolically detonated a row of projectile shells to celebrate the launch of the project, and then he stopped talking about it, the matter was supervised by the rest of the Tang Chamber of Commerce, and he only had to listen to the results report at that time.

He now needs to focus on another thing: With the influx of refugees in the winter, Ellington has ushered in a wave of peak migration, and now that the winter has passed, how can he arrange a new life for these people?

They will definitely not be able to go back, in the current environment, the people are the private property of the lord, and fleeing the territory without permission can be regarded as defection, and the only result of going back is the possibility of hanging their heads.

In other words, even if Donn was not happy, they could only stay in Ellington.

Thankfully, Don is interested in these fresh ...... Well, the prime-age labor force is very welcome, and the construction of Ellington urgently needs a large number of labor, with the continuous expansion of the market and the continuous enhancement of influence, the products of the Tang Chamber of Commerce have begun to go out of the Illus Empire and be sold to other countries.

Because the shipments are getting larger and larger, so all kinds of factories and production lines need staff, and with the return of a steady stream of people who go out to expand the market, as well as the return of those traveling merchants who go abroad, they will bring more orders and a larger market, the production pressure of the factory will be further increased, and the shortage of staff will only get bigger and bigger in the era of industrialization.

But now because of the problem of grain production capacity, Donn can't recruit a large number of workers, he must reserve a part of the farmers to continue to cultivate the farmland - after all, the Druid Grantia can respond at a critical moment, but there is no way to replace the power of so many farmers.

The increase of agricultural production capacity, the reduction of the agricultural population, the entry into factory work, the stimulation of industrial progress, the production of more advanced tools, and the further improvement of agricultural production capacity, in the process of this mutually stimulating virtuous cycle of growth, the excess capacity generated is the key factor that makes social progress.

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

The more you think about these things, the faster society progresses.

In essence, Ellington is still in the process of transforming from an agricultural society to an industrial society, and it is difficult for Ellington to fully enter the industrial age until the industrialization of agriculture is fully realized.

And the key to the industrialization of agriculture now falls on Grandia.

After Don and Garian separated, they went to Greenhouse 1, which was also an experimental seed base assigned to Grantia to study meritocracy.

"How's it going?"

As soon as Don saw Grantia, he couldn't wait to inquire about the situation, no way, this project is related to whether Ellington's land can feed more people, and it is also related to whether Ellington can enter the era of the Magical Industrial Revolution without worries, Don of course attaches great importance to it.

It's just that there are too many influencing factors for plant hybridization, and the technology is quite difficult, and Donn himself only knows the principle, and he is blind to do it, so he can only put forward this concept, and only the master who can communicate with nature, the druid, can achieve that goal.

"It's difficult, it's troublesome, and because the difference is so subtle, it's almost impossible to see the effect."

Grantia's face was a little bad, because she had bitten Donn's hook neatly, so she had been staying in the greenhouse for the past few days and had not gone out much, and in a small field in front of her, there were clusters of vigorous wheat seedlings.

"Really?"

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

"Biological evolution? Genetic variation? ”

Grandia looked puzzled: "I still don't understand, life was created by the gods, what does evolution mean?" ”

"The gods didn't appear when the gnomes and goblins played with the nuclear bomb...... Could it be that there were no living creatures then? ”

Don waved his hand weakly and said, "In short, take your time, keep the high-yielding plants, and then artificially pollinate other high-yielding plants to increase the probability of benign genetic retention, and as for the drought-resistant and waterlogging-resistant varieties, let's talk about it later." ”

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

After hesitating for a moment, Grantia said crisply, "I feel like I can't handle it myself, if I can, I want to go back to the Emerald Corolla, and if the other priests of the temple help me, I think I can definitely complete this task." ”

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

Grantia rolled her eyes: "They just can't get out of there, they don't say they can't do their own thing, in fact they're super idle!" ”

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

Tang En smiled very brightly, if those powerful earth goddess priests helped, he would definitely get a good result soon.

After the production capacity of grain increases, we can let go of the drastic reform and start the magic energy industrial revolution!

When the basic industry goes up and the magic modification aircraft cannon is created, no matter what enemy he is, he will crush them all and let them know the horror of the magic change technology! (To be continued.) )
