Things from Another World - Chapter 758

[758. Chapter 756 Industrial transformation is imperative]

Agricultural mechanization reform not only brings efficiency improvements, but also liberates a large number of agricultural labor forces, allowing more farmers to move to cities and enter other jobs to create more value.

Although agriculture is very important, it has to be said that from the perspective of social development, the added value of agriculture is indeed very low.

“The efficiency is improved by one to one thousand.”

Tang En spread his hands: “This means that as long as we provide a farm with three agricultural magic machines, we can liberate the labor force of a thousand farmers.”

At this point, Tang En said After a pause, he added: “Of course, only when we make use of these liberated labor forces can it be considered truly effective development. If we cannot properly provide jobs for these unemployed farmers, they will only become social unstable factors.”

Alleria came to her senses: “You mean, due to the emergence of these magic machines, there is no need for so much labor in agriculture, so we need to guide them into the fields you want to support. Those factories?”

“Yes.”

Tang En snapped his fingers: “The development of industry is inseparable from labor force. Although we now have technology that can replace those workers, I don’t want to do that. I can only accumulate experience at work. , and stimulate their innovative spirit, this race will be energetic. If you rely on one person for everything, you will only end up in a dead end.” “

Okay, let me listen to you, anyway, it will be the Harvest Moon soon. Maybe this year’s grain output can give us an answer.”

Tang En smiled slightly and said: “Believe me, this year’s grain output will give you a big surprise.”

Although during the spring plowing, the Illrus Empire broke out The civil unrest affected the farming work in many areas. However, after Tang En succeeded to the throne, he made timely remedies. Coupled with the rapid promotion of agricultural magic machinery, the area cultivated in the end was even more than last year. In addition, with the addition of magic energy, The use of sprinkler irrigation machines has allowed the drought situation in farmland to be well handled, and this year is expected to be a rare bumper harvest.

“And the one in Hohenheim.”

Fiona reminded Tang En.

“Oh, yes.”

Tang En clapped his hands and said to Alleria with a smile: “Regarding the issue of food, we have now obtained an alchemical technology called Plant Growth Catalytic Liquid, which can not only increase production, but also shorten the life span of food. The growth time of plants—”

“This is impossible!”

Olena, who had been sitting quietly next to her, widened her eyes: “This is completely contrary to common sense!”

“Nothing is impossible, the Druid’s magic of life is also It can achieve the same effect.”

Tang En spread his hands: “It’s just that this time it uses the power of alchemy. Angus is studying this technology. After we figure out that it will be officially put into production, it is very likely that you will see three models a year. Ripe or even four-ripe wheat, vegetables and fruits.”

Olina was shocked. If it is really like what Tang En said, the use of plant growth catalyst liquid can greatly shorten the planting and harvesting time in farmland, coupled with the agricultural With the large-scale popularization of magic machines, I am afraid that in the next year, the food production capacity of the Illus Empire will increase several times. After the poor people at the bottom who are hungry every day can have enough to eat, they can also create more More value – this means that the Illus Empire will become richer and more powerful!

Keeping everyone fed may sound simple, but it is a difficult problem that has not been solved since ancient times.

Not only the Illrus Empire, but even Ronitant, who is very wealthy and whose per capita income far exceeds that of the Illrus Empire, has not been able to solve this problem so far.

Only one hundred and sixty-seven years have passed since the end of the Second Chaos Invasion War. For the long-lived species, it seems like yesterday, but for the short-lived humans, it has become history.

But neither the long-lived species nor the short-lived species have recovered from that tragic war. For example, the Naga and Furious Murlocs that once occupied the entire Abyssal Sea are now the only ones left. In a small area, the dragon clan that once ruled the entire sky is now quietly recuperating in the heart of the dragon… The

fragmented human country was once plunged into war, and it was only in these years that it became slightly peaceful, but the population in the war The sudden decrease has brought huge difficulties to the development of society. The lack of basic agricultural labor has caused food production to be insufficient. More than 50% of the population does not have enough to eat all year round, and 40% of the population has been hungry. Only one Adults have lived a life of adequate food and clothing without worries about food and clothing.

noble?

Those nobles who occupied social resources were of course exceptions.

Therefore, whoever can keep all the people under his rule well-fed will be regarded as a famous king through the ages.

In the past, Ronitant was the country closest to solving the problem of food and clothing for the entire people, but now the Illrus Empire is showing signs of overtaking it.

Victor has always been unable to realize his wish. It has only been half a year since Tang En succeeded to the throne, but he has already seen hope. If he is given a few more years, maybe the Illrus Empire will really return to Pulan. Dahl’s peak.

No, not maybe.

Olina looked at Tang En’s profile and recalled what he said that night in the wilderness.

After all, he is a hero sent by the gods to save the world.

How could the problems of a mere human country be so difficult to defeat him?

“You don’t have to worry about food. All in all, industrial transformation is imperative. It’s impossible to become a powerful country by relying solely on agriculture.”

Tang En’s words resonated with Fiona. Over the past year, she has personally experienced Ellington’s experience. Through the changes, we have a deep understanding of the impact of Maneng Industry on society. Higher production efficiency, higher quality, and more jobs have brought greater wealth.

Compared with low-value social activities such as agriculture, the production of magic energy industry requires more labor force to participate. These jobs not only allow those people to master more production skills besides farming, but also allow them to gain access to The opportunity for more income gives the basically solidified wealth a chance to circulate to the lower levels.

It’s because those workers have so much income that Ellington’s economy is so vibrant.

After listening to Tang En explain the meaning of wealth to the upper class, Fiona and Alleria’s vision has changed greatly, and they understand Tang En’s thoughts very well.

Alleria nodded: “Then we need to tailor the development direction and support according to the local conditions of each city?”

“It is not simple and direct support, it will only develop their dependence.”

Tang En shook his head, Said: “My opinion is that we only provide policy guidance in the direction of the market. As for whether their development is good or bad, it is up to the market to decide. Unless necessary, we will not interfere with market economic activities.”

Aurelia asked: “What kind of situation is considered necessary?”

Tang En smiled slightly: “For example, what we did when we bought the Kadir family’s magic crystal mine at the bottom.”

Alleria and others understood instantly.

After finalizing the next development direction with Alleria, Tang En and Fiona returned to Ellington without stopping.

“Your Majesty.”

The two of them met Tina, who hurriedly handed a document to Tang En: “The traffic transformation in Fort Kasparmi has been completed. This is the list of local drivers to be recruited.”

Tang En scanned it He handed the document to Fiona at once, and then encouraged Tina: “Well done, keep up the good work.”

Tina’s face was full of shy smile: “It is Tina’s honor to be able to help His Majesty… By the way , Sister Fiona, the people you sent to Bein have returned and are waiting to report.” “

I understand, you go ahead and do your work.”

After saying that, Fiona and Tang En went straight back to the Lord’s Mansion. Study: “Call Pyrrhus to come in.”

After a while, the maid brought Pyrrhus into the study. When Pyrrhus saw that Tang En was also in the study, Pyrrhus was immediately flattered and immediately knelt down on one knee: “Pylos has met His Majesty Tang En! “

Get up.”

Tang En looked at him for a moment, and his doubtful eyes fell on Fiona.

“They are employees of our Datang Chamber of Commerce.”

Fiona explained with a smile: “After seeing the last public opinion-driven income situation, I fell in love with this tool… This time the recruitment work at Bein was not very good. Good luck, a lot of the labor force over there is controlled by textile factories, so I sent him to Bein to build momentum for us… Tell me, how is the situation?”

Pylos perked up and stood up straight: “Report, I’m glad to report True to his word, the news about buses and bus drivers has been successfully spread. Now the lower-class residents of Bein know the benefits. As far as I know, more than fifty people have signed up now. People are very interested in becoming a bus driver. The resistance of the bus driver has been reduced a lot.”

Fiona frowned slightly: “Fifty people… As for Bein, fifty people is a bit less.”

“This is just the beginning, don’t be too anxious, as time goes by As time goes by, more and more people will want to join in.”

Tang En smiled and patted her head. Fiona suddenly blushed and rolled her eyes at him dissatisfied.

Doing this suddenly in front of the employees made her very embarrassed.

Fiona looked up and saw Pyrrhus staring down at his toes – he saw nothing.

Fiona nodded with satisfaction: “You did a good job, go down, your bonus will be increased by fifty gold coins this month.” Pylos

was

overjoyed when he heard this: “Thank you, President, thank you, Your Majesty!”

After Los left, Tang En said with a smile: “I didn’t expect you to become so cunning now and learn to use these little tricks.”

“Didn’t I learn everything from you? You are far worse than me. “

Fiona rolled her eyes. The longer she stayed in contact with Tang En, the more she understood his true nature.

Anyone who thinks that he is a simple and kind-hearted good old man is totally wrong.

Obviously, Fiona was deceived by him from the beginning.

While recruitment, bus driver and traffic police training was in full swing, Angus, who had been hiding in the Hohenheim library, suddenly received good news.
