Chapter 236: Do You Call This a Harvest?

"Delaying the rollout of combine harvesters? Why? ”

Hearing Tang En's decision, Fiona was very puzzled: "Now is the peak season for harvesting crops, once we go public now, we will definitely be able to harvest a huge market, instantly make our reputation known as the Tang Chamber of Commerce, and earn a lot of gold coins - at this time, you told me to postpone the listing?" ”

As the combine fleet advances, there are more and more purchase intentions coming back, as long as the combine harvester gets off the production line, they arrive here, they will buy it immediately, this is a great time to make money!

"Because making that little money needs to make way for another important plan."

Tang En, who squinted his eyes, considered the next plan and said casually: "Give them a reply and let them continue the harvesting task, regardless of the plan here." ”

Fiona couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want?" ”

Of course, she knew that Don En was not stupid, and she must have more important plans, but not telling herself would make her feel inexplicably unhappy!

"A plan, a plan to make a lot of money."

Don smiled: "After pitting a mine for Archduke Frank, I joined forces with His Majesty Victor, Archduke Aubery, and Archduke Adrien. ”

"Teaming up?"

Fiona sighed, did the lord finally join the royal faction?

"Yes."

Don opened his arms and lifted his spirits: "The world is about to change, Fiona, have you forgotten why I forced a magic crystal mine out of the mouth of the Kadir family?" ”

"Of course I do," Fiona said, with a serious expression. "You said that the magic crystal is the new energy of the future, and you have mastered the magic crystal. and grasped the wealth. ”

"That's right!"

Don snapped his fingers: "This change started under my promotion, so I know best, I have explained it to you, and Victor, so you all know it, but others may not know." In their eyes, the magic crystal is still a shame to be discarded. ”

Don asked rhetorically, "Since I opened the curtain on the era of magic crystals, why should I be cheaper than the Kadir family?" Why not master the key resources yourself? ”

Fiona realized what Donn was trying to do: "You are not satisfied with a mine. More than you could want! ”

"That's right, Fiona, you still don't know what it means to have access to energy."

Donn, who came from the earth, witnessed the end of the oil, coal, and energy civilization. Witnessed the decline and collapse of many energy empires. He also witnessed the advent of the era of nuclear fusion and the gorgeous transformation of the earth's civilization, and he deeply understood this, and when he mastered energy, he mastered everything.

"Now, Your Majesty Victor has already started to act, and our side is going to start acting too, from now on. Production at the Magic Energy Machinery Factory was suspended, and workshop workers underwent intensive training. However, the propaganda campaign can continue. Build momentum for our next outbreak. ”

If it is only the magic energy furniture sold in the cities of Alinks, Bain, and Casparmyburg, it will not have a big impact, because these have little impact on productivity.

But combine harvesters, magic cultivators, magic drills, road levelers, pavers and road rollers are different, these machines have greatly changed the original labor model, the change of productivity is subversive, once they are listed in large quantities, the market of magic crystals will inevitably fluctuate immediately, and on the contrary, the value of magic crystal mines will also greatly increase.

So, you have to endure it now.

"I see, I'll arrange it next."

Fiona is a smart person, and she knows how important Donn's plan is to Ellington, and when the overall situation is decided, Ellington's rise will be unstoppable!

"Well, there's one more thing."

Donn handed Hellholm's title certificate to Fiona: "Arrange for someone to receive it." ”

"Helldorm?"

Fiona was stunned for a moment: "The Kadir family is willing to give you this mine?" ”

Tang En said very seriously: "In front of the master of the Wise Divine Martial Arts, there is no task that cannot be completed. ”

Nora: "......"

Fiona: "......"

"In addition to the management of the Kadir family, the employees of Helldorm also belong to Ellington according to the rules, and they are treated like employees of the Brussels iron ore mines."

"I understand."

"Let our men take over the mine first, and then I'll set up the teleportation array."

Although Tang En could take the first step to arrange the teleportation array, how could the lord take over the mine by himself? What does that look like? If he was allowed to do everything himself, what else would they do? So he decided to let his men run more.

"What else is told?"

"Well, not for the time being, the next thing is to wait for their action."

Tang En breathed a long sigh of relief, and after a few days of nervousness, he could finally rest: "So...... Apart from what I've said, do you have any good news to report here? ”

"How much...... I guess there is. ”

Fiona hesitated for a moment, flipped a few pages, and then said: "In the past two days, with the help of the publicity of Datang Daily, the residents have popularized the necessity of road construction, so the residents are very supportive of road construction, and their support for you has further increased." ”

"Hmm."

"The publicity of the combine harvesting convoy has made more people aware of the shortage of people in Ellington, so in recent days, the flow of people gathered in Ellington has reached a peak, and according to the results of incomplete statistics, the total population in our Ellington territory has exceeded 10,000!"

"Ten thousand!?"

Don was taken aback: "So little!?" ”

"That's less!?"

Fiona was also taken aback: "Lord Lord, don't you know what Ellington was like before?" There are only two or three thousand people in the huge territory! If it weren't for these recent policies that have caused the displacement to flock here, Ellington knows how long it would have been before it would have exceeded 10,000! ”

Don was a little helpless, after getting used to the millions of people in a city on the earth, he was a little entangled when he heard that there were only 10,000 people in the entire Ellington territory: "Go on." ”

"The better news is that the thousands of new arrivals are happy to work for you in exchange for settlement rights and money to buy food, so our labor force has been in short supply, but we have always been able to fill the gap."

"Good, go ahead."

"The total sales of the Datang Chamber of Commerce's branch in the mountain city of Bein last month have exceeded 150,000 gold coins, and after deducting various costs, the profit has exceeded 100,000 gold coins - but due to the blockade of the business alliance, Thomas may run into some trouble in the next period of time."

"The blockade of the business alliance has not had much impact on us, and these troubles are basically to be expected."

Don pondered for a moment and said: "We don't have direct competition with the business alliance, we don't do their goods at all, so they can't compete with us, tell Thomas that he doesn't have to worry, they can't do business with us." ”

"Understood."

Fiona took down Donn's advice, and then continued to report on her work: "The autumn harvest of the harvest month totaled about 1,130 tons of grain, which is a rare harvest in these years according to the previous unit conversion......

"Wait! How much!? ”

"One thousand one hundred and thirty tons."

"How much arable land has been cultivated in Ellington?"

"About fifteen hundred hectares."

Tang En was shocked: "1,500 hectares, only 1,130 tons were harvested!?" The yield of one hectare is less than one ton (about sixty-six kilograms per acre)!? And this is still wet weight!? ”

"Yes."

Fiona looked at Don with a puzzled face: "This year, because you built water conservancy in time during the drought and invented a waterwheel to draw water for irrigation, the crops are growing very well, and the sun is also very good when they are ripe, and there is no heavy rain, so it is normal to have this kind of harvest, right?" It's just not enough to increase the population ......"

"You call this a good harvest?"

“…… Is there anything strange about this? ”

"I ...... All right! ”

Don sighed heavily, he hadn't paid attention before, but now he realized that because Mauderington's territory is so large, these people are always hungry!

There are more than 1,000 scattered households in the villages of Ellington, and on average each household cultivates about 1.5 hectares (22 acres), which is a lot of cultivation, but Donn ignores several important factors.

The unit yield of crops, the density of cultivation, and the use of fertilizers.

Needless to say, the people here seem to have inadvertently discovered the benefits of composting, so they are already using it.

Not to mention that Ellington was more productive per unit of labor than elsewhere because Donn provided the farmers with metal tools, but it is impossible to say that the unit yield of crops is so small......

Ellington's main crop in the spring and autumn harvest is Kadar, which is what Donn calls otherworldly wheat, and the yield should be very high, but unfortunately reality gave him a hard slap.

In addition, since there is no agricultural machinery and equipment here, it was used to be planted and harvested manually, and the relatively small cultivation density is also one of the reasons.

Don held his forehead and felt a little painful.

Could it be that he still has to act as an agricultural expert to instruct these professional farmers on how to farm?

"Let's put this aside for now!"

Don took a deep breath, soon he and Brian were going to set off for the Emerald Forest, and if he could turn from the elves to a druid, he would be able to use the druid's life magic to achieve the rapid growth of crops to achieve the purpose of increasing yields.

This was also the confidence he had previously promised that Fiona would be okay with food - with Egwin's reputation, it shouldn't be difficult to recruit a druid from the elves, right?

"Well, you can know the food problem."

Fiona flipped the page and continued: "Recently, Ellington has also begun to appear as adventurers......" (To be continued. )
