The flush toilet is known as the greatest invention in the history of human beings on the earth. It solves the toilet problem that has plagued people for thousands of years. It is clean, convenient and clean. How important it is.
Before Tang En came to Prendall, he never found that the toilet was so important that he had to make the design and production of the toilet a priority.
This project naturally took over after he discovered the clay mine.
Before leaving for Alynx, Tang En left Fiona with a set of structural diagrams of fired ceramics and toilets he had compiled, and the more important ones were specially marked, especially Automatic pumping valve and U-shaped pipe for drainage below, he hopes that Fiona and Brian can organize and study it manually.
What surprised Tang En was that in just half a month, they had successfully made a batch of toilets, urinals, and even those ceramic tableware.
"You are fast!"
Tang En touched the surface of the ceramic with interest, and the familiar feel was smooth enamel. Although the ceramic toilet they fired was incomparable with the craftsmanship on the earth, they already had the same shape. Connect the drainage system and the water supply pipe and you're good to go.
Fiona pointed at a few gnomes not far away and laughed: "Although Brian is very interested, he is still busy with research on the characteristics of new steels. He has no time to get these things, and it happened that Mr. Croto came As a guest, he became interested after seeing the drawings, and then he led a dwarf team to join the research work. The characteristics of this ceramic you mentioned gave him many new inspirations, and he praised the lord's wisdom many times for this. Then. "
"too exaggerated."
Tang En smiled and shook his head. If it was Croto, he could understand it. He was originally an engineer, or the most powerful master craftsman in the gnome. This magical process has nothing to do with it. .
But is this guy a leader of the dwarf, is it really okay to do nothing all day?
"So," Tang En smirked, pointing at several toilets that were significantly smaller. "Is this what they prepared for themselves?"
"Mr. Croto thinks that your idea is very good, and he would be happy to try this toilet, and also say ..."
Fiona spread his hand: "What you call the water supply project has already been popular with Mr. Croto, and he is willing to help us speed up the construction of this project-in fact he has sent many gnomes to help us build our territory. . "
"Popular? Okay."
Tang En is helpless, is it so difficult to order something from a cottage on the earth?
The last time he was in the Gear City, he just walked and watched the scene. He really didn't know what the gnome's daily life looked like.
However, this is rather normal. A race studying science and engineering, without the convenience of supernatural forces, can only strive to develop in industry.
In addition, the nobles of Yalinks also have a convenient magic water supply system. Only the poor and poor Ellington is here like the primitive society.
Poor Tang En initially thought that he had come to a "primitive society", and what he had taken care of could create a history. What happened? Reality slaps him hard ...
"Well, tell me, what does Mr. Croto want?"
There is no unreasonable love or hate for no reason in this world. Clotto is willing to help him, which is of course a good thing, but Tang En certainly has to pay some price.
"Master Lord, you are really smart."
Fiona gave a small compliment to Don, and then whispered, "He told me that he wanted you to provide a detailed idea of the internal combustion engine mentioned earlier. He said that they had built several small models, but about ignition and What problems do they seem to have with regard to the materials of the combustion chamber ... "
"He said that if they decided to try the last few times after getting a detailed idea, if they couldn't solve the problem, they would start to study the combination of magic and engineering to solve the dynamic problem. They are already adding researchers on magic crystal. Croto I also said that if you are free, you'd better go there and give guidance on the spot. "
"Then he asked me to tell you that your previous suggestions for the dwarf subway have been adopted. He welcomes you to try the dwarf subway again and is willing to help us build a railway linking the Kingdom of Dwarf and Ellington-it's up to you With the help of the dwarf project, their fees will be very low. "
"Apart from these ..."
Fiona said something she couldn't understand herself, paying attention to Tang En's expression. When she found that Tang En really understood these things, she was helpless again.
The surprise that Lord Lord brought her is really endless ...
Tang En smiled bitterly: "Clotto is really ... well, I know, I will leave you a drawing of the internal combustion engine before I go back. If he comes again, you can give him, he asks the starting point In the case of fire, you just need to tell him the words "timer". Ordinary metal cannot bear the impact of the combustion chamber. Let him try several magic metals. "
"I see, what is the railway he said?"
"A fixed-line fast transportation method that can transport a large number of goods and people is very useful for improving efficiency. I originally wanted to slowly develop and then lay a railway, but he did not expect that he would help us build a railway. It's ... "
Tang En couldn't laugh or cry, it's very much like the foreigners came to build railways at the end of the 19th century ...
Fiona was excited when she heard that she could improve transportation efficiency: "What do you mean?"
"The railway must be repaired, but this can be put aside for a while, don't worry, because the cost of building the railway is very high, and we can't afford it now."
Fiona breathed a sigh of relief: "So, I thought you didn't know it."
"What do I know?"
"We are out of money."
"what?"
Tang En was dumbfounded: "How come? Isn't there more than 200,000 gold coins !?"
Fiona froze for a moment, then shouted angrily: "You don't know !?"
"You've been keeping the account all the time!"
"That's right! But do you think there will always be more coins in the vault !?"
Fiona waved her finger and started accounting for Tang En: "When you went out, you took 50,000 gold coins. This leaves only 150,000. Did you spend a lot of time buying copper ingots with Durandon? The various welfare policies you have promulgated, as well as the salary increase plan, will cost tens of thousands of gold coins every month! Then building these factories and various infrastructure constructions, these are not a small sum! "
Fiona hurriedly said, "I thought you already had a plan, so many projects did not pay them, but because they are new to you, they are very motivated to work and have not urged. Accounts-in fact, it's all your fault! Don't you just promise to pay nothing at first? You can save a lot of money! "
Fiona is still upset that Tang En promised those people to join the reconstruction plan and pay him. As she said, Tang En is the lord. If he wants to rebuild the territory, the congregation must obey and give himself unconditionally. If you do n’t follow the orders, you are committing a crime and can be sentenced to death!
Tang En was so kind to them, so kind that Fiona felt like he was a saint, and the Son of God came!
"So, we are out of money!"
Fiona reluctantly said: "If you can't find a way to make money as soon as possible, I am afraid you will face a very serious crisis of trust, and we will soon collapse the construction scene of Ellington.
"Okay, okay, I was negligent ..."
Tang En knocked on the ceramic toilet, thoughtfully: "It seems that I will be staying with Yalinks for a few more days this time ..."
"What plans do you have?"
"Well ... if there is no accident, you should be able to earn a bit of gold before the end of the month to ease it. As for whether you can make a lot of money, it depends on whether our products are powerful enough."
Tang En's eyes narrowed, and now if he wanted to solve the economic crisis immediately, he could only find a solution on the side of Yalinks.
Fiona immediately understood what Tang En meant: "You want to quickly recover the funds within a few days of opening the shop through Yalinks? Impossible, really impossible, no matter how our products are affected Welcome, sell those who can't get much profit. "
"It depends on how you sell."
Tang En smiled very strangely: "Have you ever heard that many guys who claim to be nobles have a base problem?"
"what?"
"Buy only the expensive, not the right one."
Isn't this nonsense? But she thought about it carefully, and then held her back, because what Tang En said was true!
"Top aristocrats don't care about anyone's eyes. They can live their lives as they want. They enjoy the best life, and first-class aristocrats will imitate top-level aristocrats. If they can't find the same thing, they will find alternatives. Only In this way, they will get more praise and hope from their peers. "
"Similarly, the second-class aristocrats will imitate the lives of first-class aristocrats, and many descendants of noble descendants will even wear bright clothes at all costs. Maintaining a bright appearance is what this means, because only then will they be integrated into the circle."
"So, in order to follow the trend of the upper circles, those first-class second-class aristocrats will spare no expense ..."
"Then the problem is now, if those guys find out that the two most famous Duke of Earls and Duke of Bollett use the things provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce in their homes, and those things are not only novel and interesting but also What would they do when it was really convenient and useful? "
"..."
Fiona looked at Tang En with a terrified look: "You plan to make money with two dukes !?"
"No no no!"
Tang En corrects Fiona very seriously: "Please pay attention to the words, this is just cooperation!"
