Chapter 892 Don't Laugh, I'm Serious
If this is the earth, too advanced technology will only become a tool of capital, a toy for political struggle, and a weapon for power confrontation.
But here is Plandal, and Done has an unquestionable golden thigh.
So he can develop technology far beyond the current era without any scruples.
From magic household appliances to current magic mobile phones, the birth of each product is enough to become a symbol of an era, and now it is constantly emerging.
The residents of the Irrus Empire have even begun to get used to the various surprises brought by the Tang Chamber of Commerce. A variety of products beyond imagination have been released, bringing earth-shaking changes to people's living habits. In just over a year, the people of the Irrus Empire can no longer imagine how they spent their lives more than a year ago.
To give the simplest example, the laying of tap water plants and tap water pipes greatly facilitates people's use of water. Whether it is cold winter or hot summer, people can use clean and clear tap water without going out, and no longer have to go to the river or the well to pick up water. If they return to their previous life now, people will definitely feel uncomfortable.
In agriculture, the birth of magic combine harvesters has greatly reduced the pressure on farmers to harvest wheat. Magic tillage machines facilitate farmland and sowing. Magic sprinkler irrigation machines can easily irrigate farmland...
If the magic energy machinery used in agriculture is too expensive, most people cannot afford it, but the magic energy furniture used in households is of high quality and low price. Basically, all urban families in the Irrus Empire can buy it without pressure.
In the family, magic water heaters allow people to use hot water at any time, magic refrigerators allow residents to preserve perishable food for a long time, the popular magic washing machine greatly reduces the labor pressure of housewives and maids, and magic vacuum cleaners have revolutionized the way of cleaning...
Various products have completely changed people's lifestyles and brought great convenience to people. It is no longer a word of praise for the products of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. People deeply love this Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce that brings infinite possibilities.
However, so far, there are actually only three technologies that can be talked about completely changing Plandal.
The first is magic engine technology, which is the core of all magic machinery. Without its birth, there would be no magic machinery.
Second, the magic array stamping technology is the fundamental for mass production of magic furniture. Without this technology, magic furniture would not be able to achieve mass production and would only become a luxury product for a small number of people.
Third, the miniature 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.
It is the magic mobile phone that will truly promote it to everyone and make everyone feel the revolutionary technological progress.
With a magic phone, you have the possibility of connecting with the world. All users in the entire Plandal will be closely connected through a small magic phone. From then on, separation will no longer be forever. Reunion will become commonplace. People will be more willing to communicate with others and make more friends...
Countless collisions of sparks of thought always bring miracles, and this miracle is what Tang En pursues.
In order to achieve his goals, Don En was willing to do anything (except internal friction), so he deliberately destroyed Boulkeso. Through high aid and construction debt, he not only obtained a large amount of unexploded mineral resources, but also gained the opportunity to penetrate the new Boulkeso. The impact of what Testo after he came to Ellington, as well as Tina's brainwashing of him, these various methods have been superimposed, and the current effect has been produced.
The Rennes Empire is willing to take the initiative to join Tangen's team.
This is of course a good thing. In fact, even if the Rennes Empire does not join for the time being, it will not last long. At most, it will be completely annexed by the Tang Chamber of Commerce in three or five years. It is difficult to resist the soft economic invasion. In particular, Tang En still comes from a world that likes to play financial wars. He is not a master in this field, but he is knowledgeable and knows how to use the cards in his hand to achieve the best effect. This is enough.
"The production capacity of magic mobile phones can be further expanded, but we are short of staff."
Fiona reiterated the old story. Ellington faced a labor gap for more than a day. The launch of intercity buses a while ago brought Ellington a steady growth in the foreign population. However, with the expansion of production, those people were digested by the rising factories in the blink of an eye, which was not enough.
"I have an idea."
Fiona whispered: "What if we catch kobold slaves, lizard slaves, or forest spirits for those simple, repetitive labor?"
Using these lower creatures as labor is a common method for many mine owners. Kowthorn slaves and lizard slaves are very common cheap labor (Lin Jing does not count, they often slack off to party so the employment cost is high, see Chapter 600). Because they are generally low in intelligence and are very threatening to civilians, they will actively attack the lonely travelers, so they are defined as harmful species. Moreover, they have strong fertility and are often born one by one, and are not afraid of being treated as consumables.
After thinking for a while, Tang En 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 labor shortage and can greatly reduce costs. If I were a profit-seeking entrepreneur, I would definitely choose this method, but unfortunately I am not."
Don Eun smiled, put down the teacup and said, "I am a king, or to be more clear, I am a person who leads this country and even the entire Plandal toward glory again. Don't laugh, I'll say it seriously."
Fiona said coquettishly: "Well, I won't laugh."
"You're obviously laughing...well, forget it."
Tang Enbu bounced her forehead, which attracted the beauty to roll her eyes. He smiled and said, "As a king, the first task is to make the country prosperous and strong, and the meaning of prosperity lies in making the wallets of the people under my rule. What should I do? Of course, it is achieved by creating jobs and increasing salary."
If it is a general royal family, the national industrial structure can only be adjusted by adjusting tax rates to support industries. Of course, it is more likely to turn a blind eye to collect taxes. But Tang En is different. His foundation is Ellington, or rather, the Tang Chamber of Commerce here in Ellington.
The Tang Chamber of Commerce has strong money-making ability, and its hot-selling products have brought it unique competitiveness. No one can compete with it in the market, so the benefits it creates are extremely terrifying.
With profit income, capitalists will be able to enjoy their lives, or continue to expand investment and increase returns. Tang En is certainly not a qualified capitalist, because the first thing he thinks about is how to release the benefits in his hands in a reasonable way and give them back to this society, gradually reducing the huge gap between the rich and the poor.
Only when residents' average income increases can they have stronger consumption capacity, greater work, create more value, and allow this society to develop faster.
"Expanding production capacity is the time to increase jobs and increase wealth distribution opportunities. Our jobs have attracted countless people to gather here. If you use your method at this time, let the kobolds, lizard men or forest spirit work in these positions and replace those jobs that should belong to them, what consequences do you think will occur?"
After thinking for a while, Fiona said with a pout, “They will think that we will decide to reduce the cost of hiring and no longer need human employees. Ellington’s population growth will stagnate. At the same time, this will also have a certain impact on our future employment.”
"That's right."
Tang En nodded with a smile: "Hiring kobolds and lizard men is the choice to reduce costs and pursue profits. Although we didn't mean that, we would also give those people this hint. This is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It solves the situation of labor difficulties in a short period of time, but it loses the possibility of long-term development."
"I understand, so we continue to recruit workers and provide jobs. When there is insufficient staff, we will postpone the expansion of production scale first?"
Fiona tilted her head and looked at Tang En: "I'll tell you first that if you delay the expansion of production scale, if you want to fully meet your magic mobile phone popularization plan, it will be the end of the year as soon as possible. Before that, you can only satisfy consumers of the aristocratic class at most."
After thinking for a moment, Tang En nodded: "It is enough to satisfy the consumer market of the aristocratic class before the end of the year, and the complete popularity will not have much impact until next year."
Fiona raised her eyebrows: "Why?"
“Because civilians have no thoughts, especially civilians who have not received education.”
Tang En explained: "They will instinctively pursue and imitate the lives 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 is for them, under the scope of economic conditions, they will definitely choose to buy one out of their yearning for a noble life."
"After they buy it, they will figure out how to use this thing and what use it can come in. As long as they discover and accept magic phones, my goal will be achieved."
Fiona sighed: "Your way of thinking is always unique, but I can understand your thoughts vaguely now...it doesn't seem very good."
Tang En couldn't help laughing out loud: "Why isn't that great?"
"This means that my mind has been influenced by you."
Fiona stared at Tang En's face and said quietly: "It also means I can't live without you."
Being stared at Fiona's resentful gaze, Tang En's heart thumped, and he was dry and he was about to speak when a crisp knock on the door sounded, and then he pushed the door in and his warm body poured into his arms.
In an instant, Don Eun and Fiona were stunned.
