yes!

Edgar was stunned and looked at Tangen with a gaze: "Lord, are you going to place an order?"

"What order should I place... Oh, it's also an order, but it's not a weapon or equipment."

Tang En said: "I inspected the farmland today..."

I like the word "inspect"!

Tang En felt inexplicably satisfied and continued, "I found that the farm tools we used were all made of wooden, so I would like to give you some agricultural subsidies in the name of the lord so that everyone can replace iron farm tools."

"Really?"

Edgar calculated the number of Ellington farmers in his mind and was very happy. Although the price of farm tools is not as good as weapons and equipment, he can make a lot of money even if the quantity increases.

"Of course it's true. I have something for you to help build, but let's make sure of this matter first."

"It's easy to say. Everyone knows that iron farm tools are definitely easy to use, but iron tools are too expensive and cannot be used, so they have been using wooden ones. What does the Lord Lord send that..."

“Agricultural subsidy.”

"Yes! Agricultural subsidies--and then, what does agricultural subsidies mean?"

Edgar only then remembered that he didn't understand what Tang En meant.

You didn't understand what you were excited about!

Tang En resisted the urge to roar and explained patiently, and then Edgar understood that in short, agricultural subsidies are for Lord Lord to spend money to exchange for good things for everyone!

If Fiona was present, she would probably be even more shocked and amazed - shocked by his skills to win people's hearts and his prodigality!

"This is a great thing!"

Edgar was very excited: "Lord Lord was indeed sent by the gods to save us Ellington! If everyone knew about this, they would definitely be very grateful to the Lord Lord!"

"This matter is kept confidential for the time being, and it will be announced after the farm tools are ready."

"Okay! I swear in the name of the gods that I will keep this matter secret!"

Hearing him swear in the name of the gods, Tang En subconsciously paid attention to the movements outside, but did not hear the muffled thunder.

Could it be a coincidence in the morning?

Tang En threw this thought away in a blink of an eye.

"Wait! Big brother!"

Brian stopped doing this at this time, and was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him: "You called me here just to make farm tools!? You're not kidding me!?"

"Of course not kidding!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Brian was furious: "My decent Bryan from the Hammer Family, but you asked me to stay and help you build agricultural tools!? The clan emblem of the Hammer Family will cry! It's really crying!"

"oh?"

Tang En said lightly: "Even if these agricultural tools will be updated in the future, you won't want to use new alloys?"

"No...of course I do!"

Brian changed his face instantly and said with great righteousness: "—No matter how powerful the forging weapons and equipment is, it is just a killing weapon. Only forging agricultural tools is the choice to benefit all living beings! I like to build agricultural tools the most, so don't snatch anyone from me! Otherwise, I will be anxious with him!"

Tang En curled his lips, "Little Love, fight me?" You are still young!"

Brian despises Don Eun in his heart, fight with me? You are still thin!

"I understand, Lord Lord, then these farm tools should be built according to the previous proportions, right?"

Edgar looked embarrassed and roughly estimated in his mind that although the iron ore was a little nervous, the savings were roughly enough.

Don En sensitively noticed Edgar's abnormality: "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"

"No difficulty! Ensure the task is completed!"

"Well," Tang En nodded, "By the way, although it is an iron farm tool, it does not require all iron. Just replace the key parts of the farm tool with iron tools. Just use iron tools for hoes, rake heads, plowheads, sickle blades, and wood. The whole iron tools are not only wasteful, but also too heavy to cultivate them at all."

"So that's it, I didn't expect it!"

Edgar suddenly realized, but after doing so, the iron ore was surplus again, and he was quite happy.

Tang En prompted him to start calculating: "You calculate roughly and see how many pieces you need to build each one, and then give me a quote."

Edgar calculated quickly and said, "Lord, as far as I know, there are 1,232 farmers in Ellington. If all of them are replaced, each one will have at least 1,232. Considering that the damage and replacement, it is probably more than 1,500. However, the cost of using iron tools is much reduced in key places. One sickle and rake head is ten silver coins, and one hoe and ploughhead is slightly more expensive. These are all cost prices."

Edgar dared not to be a false offer for Donn. He said that the cost price actually does not contain a trace of moisture.

"Well, I allow you to have a silver coin profit for every one of you. The price is set at eleven silver coins and sixteen silver coins."

Tang En didn't even have to calculate it. Even if every company bought it, it would be enough for him to subsidize a gold coin. This was only 1,232 gold coins. Compared with the improved agricultural efficiency, this amount of money is really not much.

"Lord is wise."

"Don't flatter me, how long will it take to get these things done? Is a month enough?"

"One, one month!"

Edgar and Brian both jumped up, and Brian shouted, "Big brother, what are you kidding! Now, even if we both stay up and stay, we will have to work hard for half a year to get it out!"

Tang En was stunned: "For half a year!? Not that, just a little bit of it..."

"The layman is the layman!"

Brian snorted: "Edgar! Don't talk nonsense to him! Just half a year! At least half a year!"

"This... Lord Lord?"

“This is too slow!”

Tang En frowned. In half a year, the harvest time of the harvest month was delayed.

"Slow? Who dares to say slow!"

Brian was furious: "If I hadn't been here as a master, it would have been longer!"

"This is reasonable."

Edgar deeply agreed: "Lord, building iron tools requires smelting, repeatedly shaping, then cutting and quenching, and every step is not careless."

"This is just a agricultural tool, not a weapon to go to the battlefield. Just be careless..."

"You are insulting us!"

Brian was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him: "Forging is a sacred skill, and what we make in our hands must be fine!"

"this……"

Tang En had nothing to say, and he realized it now that he had made another empirical mistake.

On the earth, due to the high development of industry, everything is mass-produced by assembly lines. If the assembly line does not produce tens of thousands of goods every day, I feel embarrassed to start construction. But Plandal is different. There is no assembly line factory here, and there are no various machines, all of which are handmade!

For example, the things here are like watches made in batches and Patek Philippe made in purely handmade custom. Although the functions are the same, the added value is different!

But what Tang En wants now is efficiency and mass production.

"It's not okay to recruit apprentices?"

"No, no, apprentices also need to look at their understanding and techniques. After a few years of study, they cannot create things independently."

Brian and Edgar shook their heads and discussed how to improve efficiency, but no matter how they discussed, they could not avoid an important issue.

Too few people available.

Tang En frowned, his efficiency was too low and he had to improve.

"Since that's the case, let's put aside what we just discussed. Now we have to discuss an important issue."

Tang En pressed down with both hands, signaling them to calm down, and then said, "That's how to improve efficiency."

"Big brother, what can you do?"

"Will you use molds to improve efficiency?"

"Of course, which blacksmith can't use molds? But this cannot solve the fundamental problem."

"It's good to know how to use molds, then, I think it's time to innovate the forging technology in Plandal's backwardness."

"innovation?"

"That's right."

Tang En smiled brightly: "Assembly operation and lathe manufacturing technology... there should be applause here."

"Gujiujiujiujiuji..."

Edgar and Brian clapped their hands stupidly, and the next moment, Brian shouted: "Big brother! I understand every word you say, but I don't understand it at all if I add it up!"

Obviously, Edgar and Brian were confused by Donne again.

"What is assembly line operation? What is lathe manufacturing technology?"

The two in front of them may be witnesses of the Plandal Industrial Revolution, so Don Eun must patiently explain to them so that the next step can start.

"Assembly operation is very simple. The principle is to use a large number of workers to replace a person's diverse and repetitive work. Each person completes one step and then hand it over to the next person. In this way, the work efficiency can be greatly improved without rest for a moment."
