Chapter 1182 The Correctness of the Underlying Route
In Oak Village, Mr. and Mrs. Porta have been waiting here for a long time, and even "dressed up" themselves.
Porta is a middle-aged man in his forties. His family has a farm of his own in Oak Village. Since the climate in Oak Village is always good and the weather is good, he can live a good life. The family has accumulated a lot of money, and even some The child was sent to Alexis to learn potion knowledge from the owner of the potion shop. He planned to save money to buy a magic affinity potion to awaken his talent and become a great alchemist in the future.
Porta was also one of the first people to try something new. When the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce launched the magic machinery, he was one of the first to enjoy the benefits. The magic harvester and magic cultivator of the combined harvest team brought him It came with a lot of conveniences, and if the price hadn't been too expensive, he would have bought one for himself.
When I met Porta, this middle-aged man had a ruddy complexion and was very healthy. He hardly looked like a farmer, but rather like a wealthy commoner living in the city.
Iluli took a step forward, bowed and said, "Mr. Porta, I really want to thank you this time."
"Oh, Lady Saint, you are really embarrassing me! It's an honor for us that you are willing to borrow my farm!"
Porta and his wife immediately panicked and didn't know what to do. They tried to help Eluli up, but their rough hands were dirty and they didn't even dare to touch Eluli's white clothes. .
Fortunately, Iluli also knew her identity and just expressed her feelings. A particularly deliberate salute would frighten them. She smiled slightly and stood up.
Porta said very excitedly: "I haven't thanked the Holy See yet. Thanks to this miracle, I can walk normally again."
Iluli glanced at Porta's feet, smiled and said, "This is all because of your piety."
Porta's foot was injured many years ago. Although he barely recovered his mobility after treatment by the church nuns, it was not completely restored to its original state and he walked with a limp. However, this time the great green light "God" However, his legs immediately returned to a healthy state, and his old problems for many years suddenly disappeared. Porta, whose walking habits had changed, was still not used to it, and it took him a few days to adapt again before he finally regained it. The original feeling.
It was precisely because of this miracle that Porta became more devout in his faith in the Holy See.
"No, I also want to thank the great His Majesty Tang En!"
Porta sighed with emotion: "Miracles have not appeared for many years. Many people wonder whether the gods have left this world and no longer protect Purandal. However, after His Majesty Tang En was crowned, he has done so many great things." This made the gods satisfied and performed a miracle."
Iluli glanced at Tang En secretly, pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right."
To be honest, this so-called miracle has absolutely nothing to do with the gods. It was indeed done by Tang En...
The road from Oak Village to Porta's farm was not that easy. After everyone got on his family's ox cart, they wandered out of the village and walked downstream along a small river.
The bullock cart was relatively small, so Olina still sat on Tang En. The bumpy dirt road caused her buttocks to rub against Tang En's legs. After a while, she quickly had a stick to hold her up.
Olina blushed, pinched Tang En secretly, then found a topic to distract him, and whispered: "Although the highway is convenient, many places have not been repaired, and the roads in some remote areas are still very difficult. It’s difficult to pass, is there anything you can do?”
Tang En looked at the clear river to distract himself and said: "The asphalt production capacity is not enough now, and the manpower is not enough. There is no chance to continue to expand the expressway, and the expressway itself is only the main road connecting the city. As for the following At the village and town level, there is no need to use such high-standard pavement, it can be replaced by ordinary cement roads or rock pavements."
Although cement is a very convenient building material, the pollution caused by burning cement is very serious. Tang En really does not want to pollute this clear water and blue sky. After thinking for a while, he continued: "Considering the needs of township residents for road conditions Considering the situation, I think it would be enough to improve the road grader and road roller and directly use the magic of turning mud into stone to lay smooth rock roads, and the subsequent maintenance costs will be relatively low."
If you engage in fired cement, you can both pave roads and build houses, but... Purandar has no such need at all!
The population density of Purandhar is very low. Even in the largest cities, the population density is far below the land load capacity. Therefore, there is no need to build high-rise buildings, and the largest consumption market for cement is gone. This industry pollutes It's too big and totally unnecessary.
If the magic of turning mud into stone is used, although the road structure is simple and easy to damage, fortunately, after the equipment is developed, a large number of township secondary roads can be quickly laid, and there is no need to consume materials, and construction can be started directly, which is very efficient. quick.
So in summary, in Purandal, when solving problems, we still have to adapt to local conditions.
"I don't know much about this. I just think these people need a smooth road. It's up to you to make the specific decision."
Olina's face turned red due to the bumps on the road, her heart was trembling, and her chest was trembling. If it hadn't been for keeping her head lowered and wearing a cloak, others would have noticed something. Even so, sitting in the Tang Dynasty Iluli, who was next to En, still noticed something strange.
Iluli secretly reached out and touched it, and then laughed meaningfully.
Of course, in the eyes of those children, Iluli's smile is still so sacred and noble that cannot be blasphemed. I am afraid that only Porta's wife will notice something.
But she was just an ordinary peasant woman. Even if she noticed something, she didn't dare to say anything. She even felt that she had blasphemed the saint with her random thoughts, and she wished she hadn't noticed anything.
Although the road condition was not good, fortunately, the farm was not far from Oak Village. After the ox cart came to the Porta family's farm, the group of children didn't seem to feel any discomfort.
The only one who was more awkward was probably Queen Olena. She sat on Tang En's lap and bounced all the way. A hot and hard stick poked her buttocks, which made her unable to get up or down. The panties under her skirt were soaked through. .
But now a group of people were staring at her, and Olina was too embarrassed to say anything, so she could only glare at Tang En angrily, secretly saying that he was too ridiculous.
What can Tang En say? He said very innocently that he was also helpless. That kind of natural physiological reaction was beyond his control.
The flirting between the two was not hidden from Iluli, but she was busy taking care of the children at the moment, so she didn't have time to say anything, so she just pretended not to notice.
Compared with the nobles, the Porta family's farm is not very big, only about a few dozen acres of land. After deducting the residential area and the livestock shed area, there are still thirty or forty acres of land left in the planting area. Such a large planting area , in the past, Porta had to hire a large number of farmers to help, but with the help of magic agricultural machinery, plowing, sowing, fertilizing, watering, harvesting, etc. have saved a lot of time and cost, and now such a large area In this area, only one or two people can take care of it. The cost of planting has dropped. Coupled with the introduction of agricultural tax exemption and agricultural subsidy policies, it means that his family income has greatly increased, so he will pay attention to Tang En is filled with gratitude.
Along the way, Porta's mouth was full of praise for His Majesty Tang En, making Iluli and Olena chuckle beside him.
Olina was even more impressed by the development path set by Tang En. In the past, Victor only paid attention to the aristocratic class and paid little attention to the common people at the bottom of society. Although he was also very kind, he used the wrong target.
Tang En, on the other hand, targeted the grassroots people from the beginning, carried out drastic reforms of aristocratic power, killed the radicals, stabilized the moderates, and then directly gained strong support from the grassroots people. This was all for his sake. A solid foundation has been laid for stable governance.
Porta's reaction proved the correctness of Tang En's route.
Perhaps in Purandar, the power of the lower-class civilians is insignificant compared to that of the Apocalypse and the nobles, but they are the cornerstone of this world. Even the Apocalypse has family members, and even the nobles have to eat and live. Without the power of these lower-class civilians, If they work hard, they may even starve to death - of course, if they don't want to starve to death, they can go to work in the fields themselves, but in that case, what's the difference between them and the common people today?
Perhaps it was Tang En's propaganda and reforms that made them understand this, so now they have no resistance to Tang En's people-friendly policies.
Because those who dare to oppose are either dead or digging in the mines...
After Porta set up the bullock cart, he immediately began to lead the distracted children to learn how to farm. Looking at Iluli's expectant eyes, Tang En touched his nose and followed Olina with him. past.
He really wanted to tell Eluli that following him would not make those children happy, but would instead stimulate them severely...
In Ellington, Tang En often went to the farmland to observe the situation, but now it was obviously different from before.
"Because Oak Village raised funds to purchase magic agricultural machinery, the spring plowing here has ended and the farmland has been cultivated. However, in order to cooperate with the work of the Holy See, I have left a small piece of land for you."
Porta pointed to an open space not far from the house and said with a smile: "This land is your job. The tools and seeds are ready. You must first start by cultivating farmland."
Porta began to demonstrate to the children from the beginning, but the children were obviously distracted and their eyes frequently drifted to the side.
Because, Iluli was teaching Tang En and Olena step by step how to farm.
damn it!
The boys looked at Tang En with great jealousy. We also wanted the Holy Lady to teach us step by step, not this man!
