Chapter 893 Don’t Laugh, I’m Serious

If this were the earth, too advanced technology would only become a tool of capital, a plaything in political battles, and a weapon in power confrontation.

But here is Purandal, and Tang En has an undoubted golden thigh.

Therefore, he can develop technology far beyond the current era without any scruples.

From Maneng household appliances to the current Maneng mobile phone, the birth of each product is enough to become a mark of an era, and now they appear continuously.

The residents of the Illus Empire have even begun to get used to the various surprises brought by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. The advent of products beyond imagination has brought about earth-shaking changes to people's living habits. It has been more than a year, and people in the Illrus Empire can no longer imagine how they lived more than a year ago.

To take the simplest example, the laying of water plants and water pipes has greatly facilitated people's use of water. Whether it is cold winter or hot summer, people can use clean and clear tap water without going out. They no longer need to go to the river or Water has been drawn from the well. If people go back to their previous life now, they will definitely feel unaccustomed to it.

In agriculture, the birth of the magic combine harvester has greatly reduced the pressure on farmers to harvest wheat. The magic cultivator facilitates plowing and sowing, and the magic sprinkler can irrigate farmland very conveniently...

If magic energy machinery for agriculture is too expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people, magic energy furniture for home use is of high quality and low price. Basically, families in the cities of the Illus Empire can buy it without any pressure.

In the home, magic water heaters allow people to use hot water at any time, magic refrigerators allow residents to store perishable food for a long time, and the popular magic washing machines greatly reduce the labor pressure of housewives and maids. The Magic Vacuum Cleaner revolutionizes the way you clean...

Countless products have completely changed people's lifestyles and brought great convenience to people. More than one or two people have praised the products of Datang Chamber of Commerce. People deeply love this product. Datang Chamber of Commerce with unlimited possibilities.

However, so far, there are only three technologies that can truly revolutionize Purandal.

The first one is magic engine technology, which is the core of all magic machines. Without its birth, there would be no magic machines.

The second one is magic array stamping technology, which is the basis for the mass production of magic furniture. Without this technology, it would be impossible to achieve mass production of magic furniture, and it would only become a luxury item for a small number of people.

The third is micro-magic array replica technology. This technology has unlimited development potential. It is the core technology of magic mobile phones and the core technology for the future production of various large-scale high-precision magic products.

And it is the Magic Phone that will be truly promoted to everyone and allow everyone to feel the revolutionary technological progress.

With a magic phone, you have the possibility to contact the world. All users in Purandar will be closely connected through a small magic phone. From now on, separation will no longer be forever, and reunion will become a common thing. , people will be more willing to communicate with others and make more friends...

Countless collisions of sparks of thought will always bring about miracles, and this miracle is what Tang En pursues.

In order to achieve his own goals, Tang En was willing to do whatever it took (except internal friction), so he deliberately destroyed Bulcaisso and tied up Testero with high debts for construction aid. Not only did he obtain a large amount of unexploited mineral resources, At the same time, he also got the opportunity to infiltrate New Bulqueso, and the impact of what Testero saw and heard after coming to Ellington, as well as Tina's brainwashing of him, after these various methods were added together, produced the current effect.

The Renne Empire is willing to take the initiative to join Tang En's team.

This is of course a good thing. In fact, even if the Renne Empire does not join for the time being, it will not last long. It will be completely annexed by the Datang Chamber of Commerce in three to five years at most. Economic soft invasion is difficult to resist, especially Tang En He still comes from a world that likes to play financial warfare. He is not a master in this area, but he is well-informed and knows how to use the cards in his hand to achieve the best effect. This is enough.

"The production capacity of Magic Phone can be further expanded, but we are short of manpower."

Fiona brought up the old story again. Ellington was facing a labor shortage problem for more than a day or two. The launch of intercity buses a while ago had brought Ellington a steady increase in the migrant population. However, with the wave of expansion of production, In the blink of an eye, those people were digested by the factories rising from the ground, and there was simply not enough.

"I have an idea."

Fiona whispered: "For those simple, repetitive tasks, how about we capture some kobold slaves, lizard slaves, or forest elves and let them do it?"

Using these lower creatures as labor is a common method for many mine owners. Kobold slaves and lizard slaves are very common cheap labor (not counting forest elves, they are often lazy and have parties, so the hiring cost is higher, see Chapter 600) , because they generally have low intelligence, are a strong threat to civilians, and will actively attack lone travelers, so they are defined as harmful species, and they have strong fertility, often giving birth to offspring one after another. There is no fear of being treated as consumables.

After Tang En thought about it for a while, he shook his head and gave up this tempting method.

"Why?"

Fiona was very puzzled. She thought this was a good way to solve the labor shortage.

"This is indeed a good way to solve the labor shortage, and it can also greatly reduce costs. If I were a profit-seeking entrepreneur, I would definitely choose this method, but unfortunately I am not."

Tang En smiled, put down the tea cup and said, "I am a king, or to be more clear, I am the person who will lead this country, and even the entire Purandal, to glory again. Don't laugh, I am serious."

Fiona said with a coquettish look on her face: "Well, I don't laugh."

"You're obviously laughing...well, forget it."

Tang En flicked her forehead with his finger, causing the beauty to throw a pair of eyeballs at her. He smiled and said: "As a king, my first priority is to make the country rich and strong, and the meaning of prosperity is to make the people under my rule happy." What should we do if our wallets are bulging? Of course, we can do this by creating jobs and increasing wages.”

If it were an ordinary royal family, it could only realize the adjustment of the country's industrial structure by adjusting tax rates to support industries. Of course, it is more likely to turn a blind eye and just collect taxes. But Tang En is different. His foundation is Ellington, to be more precise. Datang Chamber of Commerce here in Ellington.

Datang Chamber of Commerce has a strong ability to attract money, and its hot-selling products bring it unique competitiveness. No one can compete with it in the market, so the benefits it creates are extremely terrifying.

With the profit income, capitalists will pocket it to enjoy their lives, or continue to expand investments to increase profits. Of course, Tang En is not a qualified capitalist, because the first thing he thinks about is how to release these profits in a reasonable way. Give back to this society and gradually reduce the huge gap between rich and poor.

When the average income of residents increases, they will have stronger consumption power, greater desire to work, create more value, and allow this society to develop faster.

"Expanding production capacity is the time to increase jobs and increase opportunities for wealth distribution. Our jobs have attracted countless people to gather here. If you adopt your method at this time, let kobolds, lizard people or forest elves work in these positions. Work has replaced the jobs that should have been theirs, what do you think will be the consequences?"

After Fiona thought for a moment, she pursed her lips and said, "They will think that if we decide to reduce employment costs and no longer need human employees, Ellington's population growth will stagnate. At the same time, this incident will also set the stage for us in the future. Hiring workers has a certain impact.”

"That's right."

Tang En smiled and nodded: "Hiring kobolds and lizardmen is a choice to reduce costs and pursue profits. Although we didn't originally mean it, we will give those people this hint. It is like drinking poison to quench thirst and solve the labor problem in a short time. A difficult situation, but the possibility of long-term development has been lost.”

"I understand, so we continue to recruit workers and provide jobs, and when there is a shortage of staff, we will postpone the expansion of production scale?"

Fiona tilted her head and looked at Tang En: "Let me tell you first, if we postpone the expansion of production scale, if we want to fully meet your plan to popularize magic mobile phones, it will not be until the end of the year at the earliest. Before then, the most It can only satisfy aristocratic class consumers.”

After Tang En thought for a moment, he nodded: "It will be enough to satisfy the consumer market of the aristocratic class before the end of the year. It will not have much impact until it is completely popularized next year."

Fiona raised her eyebrows: "Why?"

"Because civilians are thoughtless, especially civilians who are uneducated."

Tang En explained: "They will instinctively pursue and imitate the life of the nobles. If the nobles each have a magic phone, when the cheap version of the magic phone is launched on the market, even if they don't know what it will do to them. If their economic conditions permit, they will definitely choose to buy one out of their yearning for aristocratic life."

"After they buy it, they will figure out how to use it and what uses it can be put to. As long as they discover and accept the magic phone, my goal will be achieved."

Fiona sighed: "Your way of thinking is always different, but now I can vaguely understand your thoughts... This doesn't seem good."

Tang En couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Why isn't it good?"

"It means my thinking has been influenced by you."

Fiona stared at Tang En's face and said faintly: "It also means that I can no longer live without you."

Being stared at by Fiona's resentful eyes, Tang En's heart skipped a beat, and his mouth went dry for a while. Just as he was about to speak, there was a clear knock on the door, followed by a person who pushed the door open and walked in. The body fell into his arms.

In an instant, both Tang En and Fiona were stunned.
