Chapter 337: Reasonable and Convincing (Fourth Update)

Victor is a very sensible person.

While everyone was going crazy for the benefit of the underground world, he clearly noticed what might happen next.

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

The wine and meat in Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. This is the situation.

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

Then after the arrival of winter this year, I am afraid there will be another wave of death peaks.

Although these people died because greedy businessmen sold food to the underground world, the people didn't care about that. They only knew that under Victor's rule, they didn't even have enough to eat.

The people are very ignorant and can easily be fooled. Once the aristocracy seizes this opportunity to incite them, they will side with the aristocracy.

This is very detrimental to the struggle between Victor and the aristocracy.

so……

"So, this is what you came for?"

Tang En stared at the cans on the production line and asked casually: "His Majesty Victor, do you think I can solve this problem?"

With a very elegant and decent smile on her face, Alleria looked at the workshop nonchalantly and said, "Yes, he said, if there is anyone else in the world who can solve this problem, I'm afraid Tang En is the only one." Your Majesty."

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

If it weren't for something so important that she had to come here in person, she wouldn't even want to see Tang En now, because as soon as she saw Tang En, she felt hot all over her body, as if he had whipped her with a whip.

Especially when he treated her like that last time!

"He really believes in my ability..."

Tang En was noncommittal. He picked up a can and knocked it. After confirming the sealing, he put it back with satisfaction. Then he turned to Alleria and said, "Your Highness, before you got here, I'm afraid you didn't know that I am now." Are you also facing a food crisis?"

Alleria was startled and shook her head.

"Well, it's normal that you don't know. I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows it..."

Tang En laughed dryly, then waved his hand and said: "I am also busy purchasing food now. I was worried that the price increase was caused by my purchases. I didn't expect that it was their behavior. I am afraid that the lives of ordinary people will not be good this winter. It’s so wonderful.”

Alleria raised her eyebrows: "So? What can you do?"

She was already disappointed. Listening to what Tang En said just now, it was obvious that he was also eager to purchase food, and obviously wanted to get a share of the underground world, and there was definitely nothing he could do.

"There's a way..."

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

He actually has a way! ?

Alleria looked suspicious, took out a notebook, and looked at Tang En seriously: "Please tell me."

"Well, I can't tell for a while, but..."

Tang En pointed to the cans on the production line and said with a smile, "This is the solution."

"These iron boxes?"

Alleria had "You're fucking kidding me" written all over her face.

"To be precise, cans."

"What's the use of this thing?"

With a dark face, Alleria picked up a box and looked at it. It was a clean iron box with nothing special about it.

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

Tang En took out a canned fruit and handed it to Alleria: "Take a look first, then open it and taste it."

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

With Tang En's help, Alleria opened the can and smelled the sweet smell inside. Alleria's eyes lit up and she took a small sip of the juice: "Hmm! It's so sweet!"

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

"Not bad right?"

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

Alleria couldn't stop after eating one piece. She finished the entire can in a short time and licked her lips with unfinished content.

After Tang En's eyes lingered on her pink little tongue for a moment, he said nonchalantly: "There are plenty more if you want to eat. You can take some back when you go back."

"real!?"

Alleria was very happy, this bastard wasn't that bad after all.

The thick resentment was actually reduced a lot because of a small canned yellow peach. If Tang En knew about it, he would probably laugh or cry.

"But it's hard to store fresh fruit. It won't last for a few days even if you bring it back. I'd better let my father and queen taste it as soon as possible."

Alleria sighed: "If it weren't for your teleportation array, I probably wouldn't have had this chance."

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

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

Alleria's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of disbelief on her face: "How is this possible! Let alone three to five years, fresh fruit may go bad if it is stored for three to five days!"

"This is the point I want to tell you next."

Tang En smiled and made a gesture: "It's not suitable for talking here, please."

Alleria followed Tang En out of the can processing workshop and returned to the Lord's Mansion.

Fiona hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Royal Highness."

"No gift."

"Fiona, make tea."

"OK."

Fiona responded and left.

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

Alleria was deeply impressed by Tina and had a good impression of her, especially when she had hot pot in the garden last time. Thanks to her, she was not tortured so badly by Tang En.

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

Tang En sighed: "Marlene, who took over her task, also went to the radio station. The other maids are busy, and they have to entertain a big shot like you, so Fiona can only do it."

Alleria frowned: "Do you mean to blame me?"

"No...tea is here, let's have a sip of tea first."

While she was talking, Fiona had already brought the tea over. With the magic hot water kettle, the water could be boiled in minutes. She pinched a leaf of the world tree and poured it into the teapot, and the color doubled in golden color instantly. Top-quality tea with an attractive aroma appears.

Alleria held the hot tea and blew it for a long time, then took a sip and let out a happy cry: "Oh... just enjoying life, as a princess, I envy you, you can drink this every day I am willing to die growing tea."

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

The tea made from the leaves of the World Tree is still full of the power of life. If you drink this tea regularly, even ordinary people can live a hundred years longer. If nothing unexpected happens, it is really difficult to die.

"Let's talk while drinking tea."

Tang En leisurely picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. After enjoying it for a moment, he said: "What your Highness the Princess saw just now is a newly developed food preservation technology called canning. It can seal the food inside." Food can be stored for a long time, even three to five years. If the storage environment is better, ten or eight years is not a problem."

Alleria glanced at Fiona and saw her nodding in confirmation, and then realized that what Tang En said was true.

"It's really incredible that it can be preserved for that long..."

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

Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put down the tea cup and said seriously: "Your Highness, it seems that you need to go outside more often... It's already autumn!"

Alleria looked confused: "So?"

Seeing the troubled look on Tang En's face, Fiona smiled bitterly and said: "Let me explain, Your Highness, it is autumn now, and the fruit trees in various territories across the empire are already ripe. After harvesting, these fruits will be harvested within a short period of time." What is not consumed is spoiled, and the current common practice among people in our country is to make preserves, dried fruits and jams. Although these are OK, they cannot maintain the taste of fresh fruits, and the efficiency is very slow."

Alleria had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized: "So, now we can use this new technology called 'canning' to seal and preserve the picked fruits, and they can still be eaten fresh even three to five years later! "

Tang En snapped his fingers and gave a thumbs up to Alleria: "Yes, preserving perishable food for a long time is the true meaning of canning technology."

“Save fruits that are easily spoiled and eat them again in winter when food is scarce.”

Alleria became excited: "Then, due to the supplement of other food sources, the demand and consumption of staple foods by wealthy people will be greatly reduced, allowing those poor people to buy more staple foods... …This method is really wonderful!”

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

Fiona nodded, with the same admiration on her face: "Although I was shocked before, but now that I think about it, I am still amazed by the wisdom of the lord."

To praise this technology is to praise the inventor, to praise the inventor is to praise the people of the earth, to praise the people of the earth is to praise me, so it is not wrong for me to accept the praise, right?

The evidence is convincing and the logic is impeccable!

So Tang En accepted their compliments calmly.
