"I knew that things should not be over when I saw you come back with the Holy Maiden Coronavirus."

Fiona sighed, looked at Tang En and said, "Tell me, what's going on over there?"

"It's not too bad."

Tang En shrugged: "Nearly two hundred demons were killed, but we probably still have a group of demons left the Rift Valley area, so the troops were divided into two groups to continue chasing."

"Hopefully nothing goes wrong."

"Not to talk about this for now."

Tang En changed the topic and said: "The research institute's miniature magic array reproduction technology has been overcome, and the production structure needs to be adjusted next."

"you say."

Fiona immediately picked up the paper and started recording.

"The most important point is the production of special warheads. According to the existing improved magic array, we need to design at least six special warhead production lines, and this production capacity may not be enough."

According to the current production efficiency, if the materials are complete, the alchemy puppet can complete the seal carving of one bullet in one second, but even if a production line is continuously produced one day, it will only be about 100,000. Now, the bullets consumed by fighting a battle are calculated in hundreds of thousands. If Ellington is given time to produce, the situation will be much better.

"Then expand production capacity and increase production lines."

Fiona said decisively: "The addition of artificial souls and alchemy puppets can greatly reduce the demand for human resources. We can optimize human resources in this regard and adjust the structural proportion of workers."

The artificial soul brought by Yustisa allows the effect of alchemy puppets to be maximized. Many jobs can be replaced with alchemy puppets, which brings the possibility of expanding production capacity to Ellington, who is short of manpower.

"Oh? Already have an idea?"

Fiona took out a notebook from the side and handed it to Donn: "Angus came back a few days ago, and now he is back, but this time, His Excellency Gene has also gone back with him. It is said that he found some interesting things in Hornheim's library, but they left these materials and plans before they left."

Tang En opened it and looked at it roughly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Angus wrote a plan to completely replace workers with alchemy puppets. Given that alchemy puppets are not tired, hungry, and have no complaints, they can completely obey orders, and they only consume some magic crystals, and the cost is even more elegant than hiring humans, he suggested that Tang En completely replace human employees with alchemy puppets.

Tang En smiled: "You should be very clear that we can only use alchemy puppets in part, and it is impossible to completely replace human employees."

Fiona nodded: "That's true, Master Angus seems to be thinking too simple."

As a ruler, Don Eun has to consider not only industrial costs but also employment.

Although it is relatively expensive to hire human employees, the large number of jobs provided can give people a job to do and a stable income, which gives them a sense of belonging and will work hard to protect Ellington.

More importantly, it is precisely because they all have jobs and income that the public security in Ellington is so good.

Thanks to the vast land and sparsely populated Prandal, this place has a headache for expansion due to lack of people.

If it were on earth, there would be no such trouble. A large amount of cheap labor could fully meet his needs.

At present, the working population of Ellington has officially exceeded 200,000, and is growing rapidly with nearly 10,000 people per month. The city has completely changed from a small town to a small city. By Plandal's standards, it has a permanent working population of 200,000, which can be regarded as a medium-sized city.

It is worth mentioning that with the support of Tang En's policy of encouraging childbirth, as of the first day of the summer month, more than 50,000 newborns were born among Ellington residents, which is quite astonishing.

This means that at least 50,000 couples have completely taken root in Ellington. The proportion of the remaining single men and women is quite troublesome. Given the special environment in Plandal, the proportion of men dies is quite high, so the number of men is very small. Except for 100,000 married men and women, among the remaining single young and middle-aged people, only 30,000 married men and 70,000 are married women.

This problem gave Fiona a headache and had to continue to implement various attractive policies to attract young men to join Ellington.

For example, after every unmarried young man moved to Ellington, he can not only be exempted from agricultural labor, but also enjoy education and training, receive minimum living allowance every day until he receives training and arranges work, and a certain tax burden is exempted in Ellington, and he can enjoy special allowances and benefits when getting married and having children in Ellington, etc.

However, the effect is still not visible.

In fact, if newborns and elderly people are included, the population of Ellington is almost over 300,000. The larger the population, the more attractive it is to others. Just like snowballing, the population will increase faster and faster, and the labor gap will decrease less and less until it finally reaches saturation.

"In fact, the population here is not increasing slowly, but the increase in labor force cannot keep up with our expansion. Just use alchemy puppets to meet our production needs for the time being."

Fiona took back the notebook and said helplessly: "After all, it takes time to come from other places. Not everyone can get on the carriage. Many desperate people may walk all the way, and even a large number of people will die on the road."

Tang En frowned when he heard this: "I seem to have forgotten this."

The transportation in Plandal was a problem. Before the birth of motorcycles, it was always a carriage, but what was more annoying is that the planet in Plandal was larger than that of the earth. With such a large area, how long does it take to run by carriage alone?

Even if the poor at Arinks promoted how good Ellington was, even if they were moved, they set off. Whether they could arrive at Ellington was still a question mark.

Tang En pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Where has the highway from Bein to Yalinx been built?"

"When I met Garian two days ago, he said that the project progress was halfway through and it would be completed in half a month. In fact, the laying of the expressway network in the empire was carried out simultaneously, and basically all of them were completed in half a month."

Fiona said with a strange look: "It is said that Rivez has trained the employees of the toll station and can't wait to get on duty and charge."

"Half a month..."

Tang En murmured to himself, and a thought came out in his mind unstoppable: "The time is almost the same, it should be feasible!"

Fiona was stunned: "What are you going to do?"

"In this half month, we will start driving school training."

Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I think it's time to open a bus, including intercity buses."

"the bus?"

Fiona was stunned: "What is that?"

"You'll get it soon."

After pondering for a moment, Tang En said: "The production line of the special warhead is designed according to twelve lines. The missing manpower is topped by the alchemy puppet. The production line is set in the Black Stone Cave. This matter is arranged as soon as possible. Then you select a group of men and women between the ages of thirty and fifty for me, and require good health, normal vision, normal IQ, and no Apocalypse, ordinary people can do it."

"It's a little trouble between the ages of thirty and fifty."

Fiona frowned: "Those who have some ability to work have gone to the factory to work, or they just cultivate their own land, and there are really not many people in their spare time."

"Then choose from new immigrants."

"The point is what do you want these people to do? Newcomers may not be trustworthy."

Tang En smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that a group of qualified veteran drivers need to be trained."

Since Plandal's previous trip was entirely dependent on carriages, only wealthy nobles could afford to fly monsters, and flying monsters were still uncomfortable, so travel here was very slow, and the radius of activity was limited to the near towns where they lived. Some people had never even left the village where they lived in their lives. The only way to learn from the outside world was the oral narratives of those merchants or bards.

The lack of communication between cities has led to a slow pace of development of this society as a whole.

Perhaps at the beginning, people do not have much demand for transportation between cities, but as people exchange more frequently, people will gradually realize this demand.

Tang En is now starting to make arrangements for intercity buses, on the one hand, to respond to this demand in advance, and on the other hand, to solve the trouble Fiona just mentioned.

Those immigrants hiking to Ellington.

Perhaps no passengers will take intercity buses in the early stages, but those immigrants will become the first batch of passengers.

Donne can first make a batch of buses by hand. After the driving school trained the first batch of drivers, Ellington could almost produce buses, take these buses to Yarinks, and then carry people who are interested in settling in Ellington and return to Ellington via the expressway.

Not only can it attract immigrants along the way, but it can also gain the reputation of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce and allow others to see the convenience of buses.

After the expressway network within the Irrus Empire is fully laid, people's demand for high-speed transportation will gradually emerge. At this time, whether it is taking a bus or a wealthy rich man to buy magic cars, it is a very good choice.

"Driver? I don't understand."

"You don't need to understand now. I will work overtime to get a piece of information out in the evening. You need to arrange it as soon as possible tomorrow... No, not only you, but Aurelia also needs to arrange it."

Not only the driving school’s training on crashes, but more importantly, it is necessary to issue corresponding traffic regulations, traffic lights, and setting up traffic police as soon as possible...

Although it may not be used at the beginning, it is better to prepare in advance than to make up for the dead.

Fortunately, although I can't remember those highly professional theoretical knowledge, I still remember some basic traffic regulations quite clearly.

It’s time for the people of Plandal to feel the fear of being dominated by tickets!
