Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 60 The next plan (please read, collect, vote)

Alphonse gave a rough description, "You just use a few more layers of cotton cloth to make some masks and wear them. This must be done, otherwise, you will get pneumoconiosis and there is no way to treat it."

Seeing that Alphonse was serious, Father Plancy nodded in agreement.

Father Plancy had never heard of such a thing, and ordinary craftsmen rarely wore masks or the like, but when the lord spoke, of course he could only obey his orders.

However, when I was young, I had seen a doctor wearing a leather mask with a bird's beak. It was said that spices and herbs were stuffed inside, which could block poisonous miasma.

Simon asked another question, "After the warehouse is built, will the red bricks continue to be burned?"

In his opinion, spending so much time building brick kilns just to build two warehouses is really not worth the gain.

"When Father Plancy builds the warehouse, I will also ask him to build a model house and a fire pit for the residents to visit and see if anyone is interested in building it."

Alphonse had already thought about it.

Most of the residents in the territory live in wooden houses, and some live in thatched houses.

Winter is coming. How can a house like that survive the winter? Do you have to rely on shaking to keep warm?

Even if you use a brazier, there is still a risk of fire.

There is a fireplace in the room in the castle, but there is no way that such a thing would be built in the wooden houses of the people in charge.

I believe the residents will also want to have a warm winter.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, you can use your labor to pay off the debt.

Next, we have to build roads.

Alphonse is planning to build a road from the castle to the edge of the territory.

It will definitely require a lot of labor.

Alphonse has no intention of making money from the residents, and red bricks will be supplied to the residents at a price lower than the market price.

As for cement, the recovery of transportation capacity and the cost of combustion accelerant is almost the same. It can be regarded as a benefit to the people as a lord.

"What is a fire kang?" Father Plancy couldn't help but ask.

"It's a kind of bed with a fire underneath for heating. I'll draw a drawing for you then, and we'll discuss how to set up the flue." Alphonse replied.

"Okay." Father Plancy felt that this was an eye-opener. The lord could always come up with something he had never heard of.

I heard that the Lord was once a farmer. How could he know so many things?
  Is this the result of receiving an aristocratic education?

Father Plancy couldn't help but be a little envious.

It is difficult for civilians to get the opportunity to receive education. Unless they have the talent of extraordinary strength or are from a wealthy family, they can enter various colleges to study.

"Captain Simon, when the warehouse is built and we hire more citizens, we will start building roads." Alphonse told Simon, "We will build a flat road all the way to the edge of our territory. .”

If you want to be rich, you must first build roads; this concept is still deeply ingrained in Alphonse's cognition.

The road in the Cold Wind Territory now becomes dusty as soon as a carriage passes by it, and becomes muddy when it rains, which is quite inconvenient for walking.

"Repair it with bricks?" Simon asked.

"No, hire people to mine the stone and use gravel and cement to repair it." Alfons already knew that the salary of hiring civilians was extremely low. Giving them 40 copper coins a day would allow them to work hard without complaint.

Of course, he should give preferential treatment to his people. Common people who burn bricks in brick kilns are given a daily salary of 50 copper coins.

"Yes!" Simon nodded immediately.

Alphonse thought for a moment, "Also, post a notice to prohibit the citizens from urinating anywhere in the future. We also need to build a few more toilets. You have all these things in mind and I will leave them all to you."

When my predecessor drank too much, he would just find an alley corner to settle the matter.

It's better on the main road, but in the dark alley corners, the smell is very unpleasant.

For the territory to develop, the environment must be improved. “Yes!” Simon agreed again.

This is what Alphonse likes about him. He is loyal enough and has a good ability to handle government affairs. If he leaves all the trivial matters to him, he can open a house in peace and contentment.

The discovery of iron ore in the Cold Wind Territory has been reported by Mia to the Fulkrod Chamber of Commerce, and they are looking for buyers through their channels.

Soon, there should be businessmen coming to buy iron ore.

Of course, giving a commission to the Fulkrod Chamber of Commerce is indispensable.

Alphonse had a very good impression of Miss Croy, she was refreshing and generous and decent.

However, Mia did not see her when she went to Lane City this time. The person she received was her father, the president of the Fulkrod Chamber of Commerce.

I heard that Croy had returned to the Royal Capital Academy to develop the cream business.

The sales of cream have also begun to bear fruit, and it is very popular among the nobles.

In addition to buying back the combustion accelerant, Mia also brought back a share of the sale of the cream, which amounted to more than a thousand gold coins.

There was also a load of seagram grass.

The Fulkrod Chamber of Commerce is quite honest in its work and has not forgotten this matter.

Really a good partner to work with.

The matter of recruiting blacksmiths for the Cold Wind Territory was also handed over to the Fulkrod Chamber of Commerce.

There was no way, the blacksmith in the territory could only make farm tools, but he didn't have the skills to forge swords and armor.

More than six thousand gold coins were seized from Baron Byan, and a sewage fee was extorted from Baron Aldrich.

The homes of Thompson and several other traitors were ransacked, and more than 800 gold coins were obtained.

That guy Thompson collected the most illegal money and accounted for most of it. The few soldiers under him didn't get much.

The current finances of the Cold Wind Territory can be said to be quite generous, and the money stored in the warehouse has exceeded tens of thousands.

If you have money, of course you have to spend it.

Alphonse planned to thoroughly arm his "loyal" guards.

The leather and chain armor temporarily installed are not enough.

Once they have cultivated their true energy, they will be able to move freely even if they wear full body armor.

But it all depends on purchasing, which is quite expensive.

A set of plate armor that could cover the whole body would cost at least one hundred gold coins, and it would be enough to equip two hundred soldiers, even if the lord's palace's gold coin reserves were spent.

Alphonse does not have to have full plate armor. Having a front-to-back metal breastplate is much better than chain armor. It can defend against attacks from most weapons and can reduce the impact of heavy blows with blunt objects. .

Hanfeng Territory has iron ore, and hiring several skilled blacksmiths with high salaries to cast weapons and equipment can save a lot of money.

The soldiers sent to Earl Mujik to inquire about information have also returned.

They inquired that the Earl's Mansion had invited priests from the God of War Church to visit, but they were unable to find out the specific circumstances.

After all, they are not professional spies, and they cannot be too demanding.

There seemed to be no suspicion on Alphonse's part.

When Alphonse heard the news, he felt a little baffled that he would ask a priest from the Church of the God of War to treat the confused Feren and Emeranda.

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit unprofessional.
