Chapter 336: Reasonable and Convincing

Victor is a very sensible person.

Just as everyone was crazy for the interests of the underground world, he clearly noticed what might happen next.

Nowadays, agricultural productivity in all countries in Plandal is generally not strong, and the total grain reserves are actually very small. Every winter, a large number of people will freeze and starve to death.

The rich people smelled of wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road. This is what they meant.

If the current situation continues to develop, a large amount of food will flow into the underground world through trade means. Although the exchange is expensive minerals, gold, magic plants, etc., the most critical problem is that these things cannot be eaten as food.

Then after the arrival of winter this year, another wave of death peak may be ushered in.

Although these people died because the greedy merchants sold food to the underground world, the people did not care about it. They only knew that under Victor's rule, they could not even have enough food.

The people are very foolish, they are easily fooled, and once the nobles seize this opportunity to incite them, they will stand on the side of the nobles.

This is very unfavorable to the struggle between Victor and the nobles.

so……

"So, that's what you came?"

Tang En stared at the cans on the production line in a blank look and asked casually: "His Majesty Victor thinks I can solve this problem?"

Aurelia had a very elegant and decent smile on her face. She looked at the workshop as if nothing had happened and said, "Yes, he said, if anyone else in this world could solve this problem, I'm afraid you are the only Count Tang."

Aurelia didn't quite understand why her father trusted Tang En so much - this kind of blind trust was almost unconditional. As an emperor, this is a taboo!

If it wasn't for the serious matter and she had to come here in person, she wouldn't even want to see Tang En now, because when she saw Tang En, she felt her body burning, as if she was whipped by him.

Especially last time he treated her like that!

"He really believes in my ability..."

Tang En did not agree, picked up a canned box and knocked it. After confirming the sealing, he put it back with satisfaction, then turned his head to Aurelia and said, "Your Highness, before you arrived here, I'm afraid I didn't know that I was also facing a food crisis now?"

Aurelia was stunned and shook her head.

"Well, it's normal for you to not know it. I'm afraid only I know it..."

Tang En laughed dryly, then waved his hand and said, "I am also busy purchasing grain now. I am also worried that the price increase is caused by my purchase. I didn't expect it was their behavior. I am afraid that the lives of civilians will not be very easy this winter."

Aurelia raised her eyebrows: "So what? Are you doing it?"

She was already disappointed. Judging from what Tang En said just now, it was obvious that he was also anxious to buy food, and obviously wanted to get a share of the underground world, and he definitely had no choice.

"A solution..."

Tang En said with a smile: "There are solutions, but people may not be happy."

He actually has a way!?

Aurelia looked suspicious and took out a notebook and looked at Tang En seriously: "Please say."

"Well, I can't explain it clearly for a while, but..."

Tang En pointed to the canned box on the production line and smiled: "This is the solution."

"These iron boxes?"

Aurelia's face was full of "You're teasing me."

“To be precise, it’s a can.”

"What's the use of this thing?"

Aurelia, with a dark face, picked up a box and looked at it. The clean iron box was not in any special place.

"This is the container, this is the finished product."

Donn took out a canned fruit and handed it to Aurelia: "Look first, then open it and try it."

Aurelia took the can and was a little surprised: "It's quite heavy... Could it be a yellow peach on it?"

With the help of Donn, Aurelia opened the can and smelled the sweet smell from inside. Aurelia's eyes lit up and she tasted a small mouthful of juice: "Well! So sweet!"

After tasting the sweet juice, she tasted another piece of yellow peach. The fresh and tender yellow peach satisfied her: "It's delicious~"

"Isn't it good?"

"Of course, it's not easy to eat fresh yellow peaches in Yarinks. They are usually dried candied fruits."

After eating one piece, Aurelia couldn't stop. She finished the whole can in a short while and licked her lips with unsatisfactory feelings.

After Tang En's eyes stayed on her pink little tongue for a moment, he said as if nothing had happened: "There are still a lot of things to eat. You can take some back when you go back."

"real!?"

Aurelia was very happy. This bastard is not that bad either.

The strong resentment was reduced a lot because of a small canned yellow peach. If Tang En knew about it, he would probably be amused and crying.

"But the fresh fruit is too difficult to store, and it will not last a few days if you take it back. I'd better let my father and mother try it as soon as possible."

Aurelia sighed: "If it weren't for your teleportation array, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a chance."

Tang En casually said as he walked forward: "No, this kind of canned food can be stored for three or five years without any problem."

"Oh, so—wait! What did you say just now?! Three or five years!?"

Aurelia suddenly widened her eyes and looked incredible: "How is this possible! Not to mention three to five years, fresh fruits may be broken if they are left for three to five days!"

"That's what I'm going to tell you next."

Tang En made a gesture with a smile: "It's not suitable for conversation here, please."

Aurelia followed Tang En to leave the canning box processing workshop and returned to the lord's mansion.

Fiona hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, Princess."

"No gift."

"Fiona, make tea."

"OK."

Fiona left.

"Why did you let Fiona go to make tea? Where is your maid named Tina??"

Aurelia has a deep impression of Tina and has a good impression of it, especially when she ate hot pot in the garden last time. Thanks to her, she was not so miserable by Tang En.

"Tina...she's in some trouble."

Tang En sighed: "Marlene, who took over her mission, also went to the radio station. The other maids are busy. They can't help you, the big man, so they can only let Fiona do it."

Aurelia frowned: "You mean to blame me?"

"No...there is a tea, let's have a drink of tea first."

While speaking, Fiona had already brought the tea. After having the magic kettle, she could boil the water in minutes. She pinched a leaf of the world tree and soaked it in the teapot. In an instant, the top tea with twice the color and tantalizing aroma appeared.

Aurelia blew on the hot tea for a long time, then took a sip and let out a happy cry: "Woo... I only enjoy life, as a princess, I envy you. I am willing to drink this kind of tea every day."

Fiona laughed silently: "It's hard to die if you drink this kind of tea every day."

Tea made from the leaves of the World Tree is still full of the power of life. Drinking this kind of tea often can extend your life for a hundred years even for ordinary people. If nothing unexpected happens, it is really difficult to die.

"Tell me while drinking tea."

Tang En leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. After enjoying it for a while, he said: "What the Princess saw just now was a newly developed food preservation technology called canned food. It can store the food sealed inside for a long time and be conservative for three to five years. If the preservation environment is better, ten or eight years will not be a problem."

Aurelia glanced at Fiona and saw her nodding to confirm. Then she realized that what Tang En said was true.

"It's really amazing to keep it for so long... it's so incredible!"

Aurelia first exclaimed, then said with a puzzled look: "But, what does this have to do with what I said before?"

Tang En was so amused that he put down the teacup and said earnestly: "Your Highness, it seems that you need to go out often... It's already autumn!"

Aurelia looked confused: "So what?"

Seeing Tang En's tangled look, Fiona said with a wry smile: "Let me explain, Your Highness, now autumn is coming, and the fruit trees in all territories of the entire empire have ripe. After harvesting, these fruits are broken if they are not consumed in a short time. The current common practice of people in our country is to make candied fruits, dried fruits and jams. Although these are also possible, they cannot maintain the taste of fresh fruits and are very slow."

Aurelia flashed with inspiration and suddenly realized: "So, at this time, you can use this new technology called 'canning' to seal and store the picked fruits, and they can even be eaten fresh in three to five years!"

Done snapped his fingers and gave Aurelia a thumbs up: "Yes, it's true that you canned food that is prone to deterioration and rotten for a long time. This is the real meaning of the canned technology."

"Save fruits that are prone to breakage and take them out when food is scarce in winter."

Aurelia was excited: "Then, with the addition of other food sources, the demand and consumption of staple food by wealthy people will be greatly reduced, so that those poor people can buy more staple food... This method is really wonderful!"

"Yes, not only fresh fruits, but also cooked meat, fish, etc. can be preserved in canned food. Although this method does not directly solve the problem, it provides a way to preserve short-term food, and the curve solves a big problem."

Fiona nodded, with an admiration on her face: "Although I was shocked before, I still amazed at the wisdom of Lord Lord."

To praise this technology is to praise the inventor, praise the inventor, praise the earthlings, praise the earthlings, praise me, so it is not wrong for me to accept the praise?

It is convincing and logically perfect and impeccable!
