Chapter 26: Ideas and business opportunities

The main food crop of Plantland is similar to wheat on the earth. It is a crop with high starch content. People here call it "Kadal", but for convenience, Tang En decided to use it as wheat.
Although wheat does not require a lot of water like rice, the land in the farmland is obviously dry and cracked, but the wheat is already half a foot tall. When the water is needed, how can the yield be higher?
"It's a jubilant moon, and it's almost mid-summer. The temperature is rising, and it's normal for the land to dry, right?"
Fiona, after all, was of noble origin and had never planted fields, so she couldn't see the problem.
"That's not the case. The Emerald River is next to it, but the farmland is so dry. This is abnormal ... wait, haven't you dug a diversion channel?"
Tang En said the words to the farmers next to him.
"Aqueduct? What's that?"
The farmer's face was confused.
"Dig a channel to bring water from the Emerald River for irrigation."
Tang En is very surprised. Even if the gap between the two worlds is so great, it is impossible to know these basic things? No matter how stupid a farmer is, he knows how to get water from the river for irrigation. How big is it to dig a canal? Can't think of this?
A civilization has developed for so many years, and it is not at the level of relying on the sky to eat ...
"Oh, I see, but Lord Lord, that's impossible."
Elsa then interjected: "The terrain on the Emerald River is lower than this, and the water from the digging channel cannot flow."
"So it is!"
Tang En suddenly realized, and then frowned. There is no such thing as pumps and sprinklers in this world. Although there is more convenient magic, it is impossible for a magician to condescend to stay in the farmland as an artificial rain teacher.
Suddenly, Tang En clapped his hands: "Yes, waterwheel! Why don't you forget this crop."
"Water mill?"
Fiona Elsa was at a loss again when they heard another strange term in Tang En's mouth.
As mentioned earlier, the main powers of this world are controlled by the apocalypse. The apocalypse, that is, the so-called awakening talents to become professionals, warriors, magicians, are apocalypse.
With these apocalypse, ordinary people ’s development of the basic forces of the world, that is, the development of physics, is in a stagnant state. When encountering difficult problems, either the warrior apocalypse solved it with brute force, or it was magic Teachers use magical powers to solve problems, and ordinary people rarely think about how they can solve difficulties.
Do not believe? Look at the aborigines in this world. Gnomes and gnomes have climbed a nuclear bomb thousands of years ago without magic!
Now gnome and goblin are so weak, that's because they blasted their hometown and technology tree!
It turned out that other races came later.
It is an indisputable fact that the strength of individual strengths limits the growth of group strengths.
Danny of the militia, his father is the miller, but the mill in his family does not use wind, but animal power, which is inefficient, and also needs to feed livestock. The cost is naturally high. If there is a windmill, it can save money. A big cost.
"A waterwheel is to use the power of water to lift it to a high place, and then use the gravity of the water to make it flow into the farmland ... forget it to you."
Looking at their blank expressions, Tang En knew he was in vain, so go back and discuss it with Brian. The dwarves and dwarves often come and go, and he may understand the beauty. [e1]
"Just rest assured, I will find a way to solve this problem, and soon there will be water to irrigate the farmland, you don't need to worry."
Tang En smiled at the farmers: "Trust me, the harvest of this year's bumper month will be very good."
"We believe in you ..."
After the farmer had finished speaking, he looked at Tang En in vain and looked as if he didn't dare to say something.
"What's wrong? Any questions?"
The peasant household courageously asked, "Master Lord, we saw the notice on the notice board in the square this morning. Is it true that you announced a half tax cut?"
So efficient?
Tang En glanced at Fiona a little unexpectedly. Fiona raised her face proudly, as if looking forward to his praise.
Tang En looked back and smiled at the farmers: "Of course it is true."
The proud Fiona's face froze and she stomped her hate, this guy!
"Great! Really great!"
The peasant households cheered when they heard the words, one by one holding each other's rough hands, and shed tears of excitement.
It's a half ... it's just a tax cut ... it's so exciting.
Tang En ’s mind is very complicated. Farmers, no matter what the world ’s farmers, are so simple. What they ask for is to eat a full stomach, and then they can save a little money in their hands. Unfortunately, this It is also difficult to realize humble wishes.
"Trust me, trust me, then I will definitely bring you a happy life."
Down was very serious and assured them very seriously: "In the coming days, you will see the changes in Ellington, and I promise you will witness the rise of Ellington."
Elsa blinked her eyes, and her heart was full of excitement. At this moment, she felt that Tang En was really full of powerful charm!
Elijah next to her thoughts were very simple. She thought that Big Brother Tang En was a good person, so everyone would like him, and the thinking of children is so simple.
After turning around in the fields and remembering the condition of the farmland, they walked southwest of Ellington. They did not go far. After coming down a small slope, they saw the Emerald River.
On the west side of the Emerald River, there are lush forests, and large trees spread into the mountains in front, forming an endless forest, where the Emerald Forest is the land of the elves.
On the east side is the border of Ellington. The river bank is covered with a large area of ​​vegetation and wet shrubs, and there are some relatively sparse and low trees, which contrast with the other side.
"right here!"
Elijah waved her hand happily: "It looks a lot better here, mint."
Tang En took a deep breath, and the fresh fragrance of mint wafted in the fresh air, to refresh his spirit. Looking ahead, the river bank was dense with a lot of mint, which made Tang En's heart settled at the same time , And other ideas have also arisen.
The climate here is so suitable for the growth of mint, that mint can be cultivated as an economic crop of Ellington, and everyone is encouraged to plant it together.
Then come up with essential oil extraction equipment, which can be used to process mint spices, mints, mint soap, mint toothpaste, mint soda, etc ...
Perhaps these mints can make a fortune for themselves?
Tang En's eyes sparkled with gold. In his eyes, this mint grass is not a nameless plant, but a bright gold coin!
"Those eye-catching grass ... well, what's so good about mint?"
Elsa asked curiously: "Although it smells good a little, but after a large area matures, the scent is all around, and it's so good."
"Haha, what do you say is good?"
Don Enha laughed and patted Elsa's head: "Elsa, I said that these mints will bring a lot of money to Ellington in the future, believe it?"
Elsa hesitated, but Elijah said without hesitation: "As long as the older brother said, I believe it!"
"Oh? Aren't you afraid I lied to you?"
"Don't be afraid! Because Big Brother is a good guy!"
"Good guy ..."
Tang En touched his nose: "Hmm ... Big Brother invites you to eat lollipop in the future."
"Lollipop? What's that?"
"You'll know it later ... Fiona?"
Dunn noticed that Fiona seemed to be in a daze and called her a little strangely.
"You said, these mints make money?"
As soon as Fiona turned around, Tang En was dumbfounded. He thought he was enough to love money, but did not expect that Fiona's performance was even more exaggerated after hearing these mint grasses could make money!
She's completely fanatic!
"Master Lord! What effect do these mints have? Can they increase the speed of meditation? Or are they special for magicians? Can they restore magic? Or can they be used as special spelling materials?"
Fiona asked a long list like a cannon, because she knew that Tang En was a magician, so the subconscious thought that these mints had a special effect on the mage.
"Useless, useless ..."
Tang En wiped his cold sweats: "This is just an ordinary plant ..."
"Ordinary plants?"
"Yes, it's very ordinary, but it's just a special fragrance."
Fiona suddenly lost interest: "It's just this ..."
For Prandall, whether a thing has great value is all about whether that thing has any effect on the Apocalypse.
For example, the reason why magic metal is so precious is that it can well accommodate the power of elements, and the equipment created can improve the combat effectiveness.
Some herbs are so expensive because they can be made into various potions in the hands of alchemists, which can improve combat effectiveness or heal injuries.
A completely ordinary plant that makes money just by smelling special?
Fiona scoffed at this, even though Tang En was a very powerful magician, she felt that Tang En was bragging.
Don't forget, the Jin Qiangwei family started as a business. In business, her sense of smell is much sharper than Tang En.
"You do not believe?"
Tang En hummed, "Dare you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What bet?"
Tang En said with a smile: "If these mints can make money, then you will work for me for a lifetime, how about it?"
"What's wrong then!"
Fiona's heart jumped, and she said casually, "How much is the so-called money?"
Tang En thought for a while and raised a finger.
