"Seeing you and Her Majesty come back together, I know it's not over yet. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Fiona sighed, looked at Don and said, "Tell me, what's going on over there?" ”

"It's not too bad."

Tang En shrugged: "Nearly two hundred demons have been killed, but at present, we estimate that there are still a group of demons who have left the Great Rift Valley area, so the soldiers continue to pursue in two ways." ”

"Hopefully nothing will go wrong."

"Let's not talk about that."

Tang En changed the topic and said, "The miniature magic array replication technology of the research institute has been overcome, and the next step is to adjust the production structure. ”

"You say."

Fiona immediately picked up a pen and paper and began to record.

"First of all, the most important point is the production of special warheads, according to the existing improved magic array, we need to design at least six production lines for special warheads, which is not necessarily enough."

According to the current production efficiency, if the materials are complete, the alchemy puppet can complete the seal engraving of a bullet in one second, but even if a production line is produced non-stop a day, it is only about 100,000 pieces, and now the bullets consumed in a battle are calculated in hundreds of thousands, if Ellington is given time to produce, the situation will be much better.

"Then expand the production capacity and increase the production line."

Fiona said decisively: "The addition of artificial souls and alchemy puppets can greatly reduce the degree of demand for human resources, and we can optimize human resources in this area and adjust the proportion of workers. ”

The artificial souls brought by Yustisa have maximized the effect of alchemy golems, and many jobs can be replaced with alchemy golems, thus bringing the possibility of expanding production capacity to Ellington, who is short of manpower.

"Oh? Already have an idea? ”

Fiona took out a notebook from the side and handed it to Donne: "Angus came back a few days ago, and now he is going back again, but this time Lord Jean also went back with him, and it is said that he found something interesting in the library of Hohenheim, but they left these materials and plans before leaving. ”

Don opened it and took a general look, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Angus wrote a plan for alchemy golems to completely replace workers, given that alchemy golems will not get tired, hungry or complain, and can completely obey orders, and they only consume some magic crystals, and the cost is even more elegant than hiring humans, so he suggested that Don completely replace human employees with alchemy golems.

Tang En smiled: "You should know very well that we can only partially use alchemy puppets, and it is impossible to completely replace human employees. ”

Fiona nodded, "That's true, Master Angus seems to be thinking too simply. ”

As a ruler, Donn had to think not only about the cost of industry, but also about jobs.

Although the cost of hiring human employees is relatively high, the large number of jobs provided allows people to have jobs to do and a stable income, which gives them a sense of belonging and will work hard to protect Ellington.

What's more, it's because they all have jobs and incomes that Ellington's security is so good.

It is also thanks to the sparsely populated Plandal that Don will have a headache with expansion due to the lack of people.

If it were on Earth, there would be no such troubles, and a large number of cheap labor would fully meet his needs.

At present, Ellington's working population has officially exceeded 200,000, and is growing rapidly at nearly 10,000 per month, the city has completely changed from a small town to a small city, with 200,000 permanent working population by the standards of Brandal, it can already be regarded as a medium-sized city.

It is worth mentioning that thanks to Donn's policy to encourage childbirth, more than 50,000 newborns had been born among the residents of Ellington as of the first day of the summer month, which is quite a staggering proportion.

This means that at least 50,000 couples are now fully rooted in Ellington, and the proportion of the remaining single men and women is quite a headache, given the special environment of Purlandal, the proportion of male deaths is quite high, so the number of men is very small, except for the 100,000 married men and women, the remaining single young adults, only 30,000 marriageable men, 70,000 are marriageable women.

Fiona was a headache for Fiona, who had to continue to pursue attractive policies to attract young men to Ellington.

For example, after every unmarried young man moves to Ellington, he can not only be exempted from agricultural labor, but also enjoy education and training, receive a minimum allowance every day until he has completed the training and arrange a job, and live in Ellington to be exempted from a certain amount of taxes, and can enjoy special allowances when he marries and has children in Ellington......

However, the effect is not visible at the moment.

In fact, including newborns and the elderly, Ellington's population is already close to surpassing 300,000, and the larger the population, the more attractive it will be to others, and like a snowball, the population will increase faster and faster, and the labor shortage here will become smaller and smaller, until it finally reaches saturation.

"In fact, the increase in our population here is not slow, but the speed of labor growth cannot keep up with the speed of our expansion, and the use of alchemy puppets can temporarily meet our production needs."

Fiona took back her notebook and said helplessly: "After all, it takes time to come from other places, not everyone can get on the carriage, many desperate people are afraid that they will come all the way on foot, and even a large number of people will die on the road." ”

Tang En frowned when he heard this: "I seem to have forgotten this. ”

Brandal's traffic is very problematic, it has always been a horse-drawn carriage before the birth of motorcycles, but the more painful thing is that Plainal's planet is larger than the earth, such a large area, how long does it take to run by horse-drawn carriage alone?

Even if Alinks advertised how good Ellington was, even if the poor people at the bottom were moved and set off, it was still a question mark whether they could get to Ellington.

Don pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Where is the highway from Bein to Alinkes?" ”

"When I met Garion two days ago, he said that the project was halfway through, and it would be completed in half a month - in fact, the laying of the highway network within the empire was carried out simultaneously, and after half a month, it was almost all completed."

Fiona said with a strange expression: "It is said that the Rivez side has finished training the employees of the toll booth, and they can't wait to be able to collect fees." ”

"Half a month......

Don muttered to himself, and a thought popped up irrepressibly in his mind: "It's about the same time, it should be feasible!" ”

Fiona was stunned: "What are you going to do?" ”

"In this half a month's time, driving school training will be held."

Don narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I think it's time to open buses, including intercity buses." ”

"Bus?"

Fiona was stunned: "What's that?" ”

"You'll understand soon."

After pondering for a moment, Tang En said: "The production line of the special warhead is designed according to twelve, and the lack of manpower is topped by the alchemy puppet, and the production line is set up in the Black Stone Cave, this matter will be arranged as soon as possible, and then you will select a group of men and women between the ages of thirty and fifty for me, and they are required to be in good health, have normal eyesight, and have a normal IQ. ”

"Between thirty and fifty years old...... It's a bit of a hassle. ”

Fiona frowned: "Those who have a little ability to work go to work in the factory, or they cultivate their own land, and there are really not many people who have spare time." ”

"Then choose from among the new immigrants."

"The point is, what do you want these people to do? Newcomers aren't necessarily trustworthy. ”

Tang En smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that a group of qualified old drivers need to be trained." ”

Since Brandal's previous travel was all by horse-drawn carriage, only the wealthy nobles could afford to use flying monsters, and flying monsters were still very uncomfortable, so the travel here was very slow, and the radius of activity was limited to the vicinity of the towns where they lived, and some people had never even left the village where they lived in their lives, and the only way to learn about the outside world was through the dictation of those merchants or bards.

There is too little communication between cities, which leads to a slow pace of development in the society as a whole.

Perhaps at first, there was not much demand for transportation between cities, but as the flow of people became more frequent, people gradually became aware of the need.

And Don is now starting to lay out intercity buses, on the one hand, to respond to this demand in advance, and on the other hand, to solve the troubles that Fiona just said.

Those immigrants who made their way to Ellington on foot.

There may be no passengers on intercity buses at first, but those immigrants will be the first passengers.

Don could build a batch of buses by hand, and when the driving school trained the first drivers, Ellington would be able to produce buses as well, take them to Alink, and then take people who wanted to settle in Ellington and return to Ellington via the highway.

Not only can it collect immigrants along the way, but it can also make the Tang Chamber of Commerce famous and let others see the convenience of the bus.

After the highway network in the Illus Empire is fully paved, people's demand for high-speed transportation will gradually appear, and at this time, whether it is taking a bus or a wealthy tyrant to buy a magic car, it is a very good choice.

"Driver? I don't understand. ”

"You don't need to understand now, I'll work overtime at night to get a document out, and you need to arrange it as soon as possible tomorrow...... No, it's not just you, Aurelia has to arrange it too. ”

It is not only the training of the driving school for crashes, but more importantly, the need to introduce corresponding traffic regulations, traffic lights, and the establishment of traffic patrol police as soon as possible......

You may not need it at first, but it's better to prepare than to make amends.

Thankfully, although he can't remember the highly specialized theories, he still remembers some basic traffic laws quite clearly.

It's time for the people of Plandal to feel the horror of being dictated by a ticket!

Looking at Donn, who was muttering, Fiona was dazed. (To be continued.) )
