How attractive the news revealed in Tang En's words is to the dwarf, just look at Brian's reaction before and after.

Although Tang En didn't say anything specifically, the little thing he mentioned inadvertently was enough to open the door to Brian's new world.

Brian, who had originally planned to flash tomorrow, suddenly changed his mind. He felt that he would rather stay in Ellington than traveling elsewhere.

Maybe Tang En will give him other surprises!

"Stay here to help me?"

Tang En looked surprised, then waved his hands repeatedly: "Why are you so embarrassed? No, don't need it anymore! You are a dwarf... Uh, um, dwarf! Ellington has a blacksmith, I can find him if I need it, the same."

This cunning boy!

Brian cursed in his heart, saying that he is still good at getting a bargain!

"How could that be the same!"

Brian pointed at himself and said proudly: "It's not that I'm boasting that my forging skills are among us dwarves! I can make it for you as long as you can say something! And the quality is absolutely first-class!"

In fact, Brian is not boasting. A dwarf blacksmith is extremely popular no matter where he is, so he is willing to stay in Ellington. Done actually made a big profit.

But this guy has just stopped taking the bait and insisted on Tang En to throw out some real stuff before he would take the bait, which made Tang En a little unhappy, so he deliberately caught his appetite.

For a race who is passionate about forging, nothing is more attractive than a new, more durable material.

So Don is very confident that he can keep Brian.

"Really?" Don looked at Brian with great doubt.

Brian patted his chest: "Of course it's true!"

"I hope you don't regret it then."

Tang En had a strange expression on his face, and he accepted Brian.

Many of the things he had conceived were not able to be created at this moment because the world lacked the most basic industrial system and everything had to start from scratch. Brian's forging ability, coupled with his alchemy technology, was the foundation of all this.

He will set units and standards from scratch, and here, he will be the founder of everything.

The next day, Tang En stood in front of the sink and looked entangled.

It's the third day that he hasn't brushed his teeth for two days...

There is no toothbrush or soap in this world. Washing your face is just a clean water. There is no difference between nobles and civilians. There are some extravagant things that may soak some petals in the water.

Fortunately, the people in Plandal were not like those in the Middle Ages on Europe on Earth. They didn’t take a bath for several months and even had a lifetime. The people here still love to clean. In addition, there is a clear Emerald River next to the town, which allows you to use clear and sweet river water at any time, so there is no bad smell on the people here in Ellington.

"I'll tinker with toothbrush and soap in the past two days... I remember that I can make a toothbrush with ponytails, mix toothpaste with gypsum, fat and salt to make do with it. For soap, I still remember to boil animal fat and add wood ash... Well, I have a rough impression, I can make it out by tinkering with tinkering."[e1]

After washing his face, he asked the maid to take some salt to rinse his mouth. After tidying up a little, Tang En went downstairs.

"Big brother!"

As soon as he went downstairs, he heard the crisp voice of the little loli. Tang En was stunned and smiled and said, "Yilia is here."

Tang En had a deep impression of Iriya. This little girl is a rare magic affinity. If she trained her carefully, she would definitely become an extremely powerful mage in the future. Tang En would not let this talent go.

"Lord."

Elsa said apologetically: "Yiliya must come to thank you for saving her. Didn't you disturb your rest?"

“No, no.”

Tang En waved his hand, squatted down and picked up Yiliya, and smiled and said, "Now there are no bad people, so I won't be afraid anymore, are you?"

"Um!"

Iriya happily put a grass ring on her hand on Tang En's head: "Big brother, this is made up by me. It smells very good. I'll give it to you."

"Hmm...this smell?"

Tang En was stunned. Isn’t this mint? Ellington still produces mint here?

"Yiliya, don't do anything randomly, how can Lord Lord wear that kind of thing?"

Elsa was worried that Eliya would make Tang En unhappy, so she hurriedly stopped her.

"No, it's okay, I'm very happy."

Tang En smiled: "Yilia, where did you find this mint grass?"

"Mint?"

Yiliya was confused for a moment. When she saw Tang En pointing at the grass ring, she suddenly realized: "It turns out that this grass is called Mint, right by the river, there are a lot of it."

“Minn grass?”

Elsa was also stunned. She had seen this grass, which had a unique smell, but it seemed that it had no name? Before, an adventurer gave it a prominent grass name, but later it was forgotten.

"Can you take me to see it?"

After seeing mint, Tang En instantly had many thoughts in his mind. Mint has a great effect. It can not only be used as a spice additive, but also edible and medicinal. The toothpaste and soap he wanted to make can also add some mint essence, which will make the smell more fragrant.

Iriya nodded without hesitation.

Elsa and Iriya had already had breakfast. When Don En had breakfast and was about to go out, Fiona appeared in front of him.

"You're going out?"

Fiona frowned: "There are a lot of things in the Lord's Mansion waiting for you to decide. What are you going out to do?"

Tang En said righteously: "Of course it's for the future of Ellington. If I don't even know my own territory, what else can I talk about in terms of development?"

“What I said makes sense.”

Fiona nodded: "Then I'll be with you too. I'll just go out and see the farmland situation in Ellington."

So Fiona joined the team.

After telling the maid to ask her to collect some ponytail hair, the group walked out of the door and walked directly outside the town. Tang En kept observing the surroundings along the way, shaking his head while looking, and sighing in his heart.

Although he had never studied urban planning, he also knew that Ellington's layout was really bad, the buildings were out of order, there was no unified plan, and there was no underground drainage project, and there was no public lighting facilities.

Donn intends to completely rebuild the entire Ellington - the construction in Ellington is not large at present, and the cost of reconstruction is also low, and it is still within the acceptance range.

Moreover, he is also a lord. Everyone must obey the orders he said, and there is no need to worry about anyone opposing them.

If you rebuild Ellington, you can also inject vitality into the town and let everyone have something to do.

In short, it is a good thing that can kill multiple goals in one go.[e2]

After silently re-planning Ellington in his heart, the group had already arrived at the edge of the farmland outside.

"The farmland area in Ellington is not small, but due to Buck and others, most of the farmland was abandoned and there was no land planting at all. If we mobilize and reuse this part of the farmland, we can still catch up with the harvest."

Tang En thought for a while and said, "Then mobilize me, and say what I said, for those who have cleared new farmland, the harvest tax on the new farmland that year will be exempted from all the new farmlands, and the exemption will be reduced by half the next year. I believe they will be happy to do it."

Fiona gave Tang En a blank look, and the guy waved the banner of tax reduction again, but since he had decided, Fiona could only write it down.

"Lord!"

After seeing Tang En, the farmers in the fields stopped their work and saluted him.

Tang En nodded, his eyes fell on the farm tools beside them, and he couldn't help but frown: "Fiona, do farmers in the empire use this kind of farm tools?"

The farm tools they used to manage farmland were actually made of wooden.

"It seems to be all in my impression, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you use iron tools?"

"Iron?"

Fiona widened her eyes: "Iron is so important, of course it is used to build weapons and armor to defend the country. How can it be used to build agricultural tools?"

Tang En looked at the sky speechlessly, and after a moment, he said with a slight silence, "Fiona, what is the basis for a country's stability?"

"The fundamental reason for stability?"

Fiona obviously didn't think about this problem, she thought about it for a while, and said tentatively: "The combat effectiveness of the army?"

"I think I'm a powerful master, right?"

Elsa made different opinions: "If there are legendary masters in charge, the country will be much more stable."

"Yes, not right," Tang En shook his head, "You have not seen through the fundamentals. Whether it is the army or the legendary masters, they are all people."

"The country is based on the people and the people are based on food. The issue of eating is not only the most basic need for human survival, but also has always been the eternal theme of national stability and social development."

"If the people of a country cannot even eat enough and the problem they are worried about every day is the next meal, then how can this country be strong? Can it not be messed up? On the other hand, if everyone in a country can eat enough and don't have to worry about being hungry, then people will naturally consider other things after they are full, such as making money, practicing combat skills and magic, and enhancing combat effectiveness, and the country's strength will be stronger."

"So, a strong agricultural foundation is the foundation for a country's stability."

Speaking of this, Donn suddenly asked, "Where is Bryan?"

"I arranged a house for him in the morning, and he said he would set it up, at least it should look like a blacksmith's workshop."

"Um."

At first, Tang En didn't expect that an important reason for the low grain output here was that the tools did not meet the standards. Isn't this a joke? I have to use iron tools! When I went back, I would like to discuss it with Brian.

After a while, I have almost finished exploring the world and studied the magic power clearly, maybe I can combine agricultural machinery such as earth loosening machines, seeders and combine harvesters? [e3]

Tang En rubbed his chin and showed a strange smile.

At this time, Tang En was stunned: "Why are you doing this in this place?"
