Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

The construction of the cement workshop progressed surprisingly smoothly, and due to the abundance of sand and gravel resources in the Northwest region, obtaining raw materials was much more convenient and faster than in the Imperial City.

To accelerate the construction progress of the workshop, Soron transferred more than a thousand contract serfs from the areas controlled by the court nobles to serve as labor for the workshop.

Although Soron originally hoped to use free people and commoners, he ultimately chose slaves as labor due to the need to keep the cement manufacturing technology a secret.

To ensure that the slaves would obediently listen and be willing to work hard, Soron implemented a reward mechanism.

If the slaves could complete their daily quota, their dinner would include an extra bowl of meat soup.

For the three work groups that completed the most work each day, the rewards would increase according to their ranking. The first place would have meat in all three meals the next day, the second place would have meat for lunch and dinner, and the third place would only have meat for lunch.

As for the work groups that did not complete their workload, the food supply for dinner would be reduced by 20%.

As soon as this measure was introduced, the slaves immediately went to work with all their might.

The workshop quickly divided into twelve work groups, each of which could exceed the workload by 110%.

There was a huge open space between the cement workshop and the fertilizer workshop. Soron stood on a high platform and announced in a loud voice: "Your work efficiency makes me very satisfied, so I have decided to give you another reward."

Hearing that there was another reward, the more than three thousand slaves in the two workshops on the open space suddenly held their breath and focused their eyes on Soron.

"At the end of the year, outstanding slaves will be selected, with ten places in each workshop, ranked in no particular order. I will reward them with a female slave as a wife and build a house for them and their wives here."

As soon as they heard about the outstanding slaves and the year-end rewards, the entire open space boiled over. These slaves were also human beings. In this world, there was no such high-end profession as eunuchs. They naturally had physiological needs and hoped to have their own children and descendants.

On the way out, Jennifer asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, is it necessary to take care of these slaves like this?"

Soron smiled and nodded, asking in return: "Am I paying too much?"

Jennifer shook her head.

Soron continued: "That's right, I'm just giving a few female slaves and adding a little meat to the three meals, but these slaves can create 120% of the benefits for me, and I'm only paying for this little bit of food. Do you think I'm making a profit or a loss?"

Jennifer was silent for a while.

Soron added: "Slaves are essentially still human beings. Without incentives, their work efficiency is actually only 90%, and in some places, it's only 80%."

Soron's last words made Jennifer think deeply. She realized that even slaves need incentives and respect, and their potential is far greater than imagined.

With the production of the first batch of cement, Soron did not immediately use it for the construction of the city walls, but chose to build the first residential area in Furjia City.

This decision aimed to re-plan the space in the inner city and reserve more space for the future development of the city. Considering that many common people's houses in the city were built randomly with wood or stone, they were not only small and simple, but also chaotic because of random construction, making Furjia City, except for the area where the Imperial Bank was located, relatively tidy, and other places were disorganized. Once a fire occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, Soron decided to give priority to using cement to build houses and plan these houses as the first line of defense for street fighting to deal with the challenges after the enemy entered the city.

He chose to start construction from the areas close to the four city gates, which would become the focus of future urban planning.

Although the cement workshop had just been put into production, and the daily output was only ten tons, it was impossible to start construction on the four city gates at the same time, but Soron decided to give priority to construction in the West District, where the Imperial Bank was located, to ensure that the core area of the city was prioritized for development.

Soron's design drawings were very simple. His innovation was to use bamboo instead of steel bars.

Although the strength and durability of bamboo could not be compared with steel bars, it was still feasible to build a four-story apartment building in combination with solid magic.

This design fully considered the availability of resources and cost-effectiveness, and was very suitable for large-scale construction in the case of limited resources.

The reason for choosing to build an apartment building was multifaceted, the most important of which was to consider the living environment of this world.

Designing the kitchen and toilet as public areas can effectively reduce many accidents in life.

In this world, due to backward technology, some basic activities in daily life, such as making a fire for cooking, may bring safety hazards.

For example, if each family makes a fire for cooking in their own residence, the fire may spread if they are not careful, causing the entire building to be burned down.

Setting up a public kitchen and having it managed by a dedicated person can greatly reduce the risk of fire.

In addition, public kitchens and toilets can also concentrate resources for cleaning and maintenance, improving the quality and safety of the living environment.

Soron paid special attention to the cultivation of gluttony and lust.

The cultivation of the sin of gluttony was similar to the method taught by the Infinity Blade, mainly to restrain appetite. The sin of lust was Soron's current concern.

The sin of lust refers to indulging one's desires, only valuing the satisfaction of the flesh, and ignoring the communication and exchange of the soul.

This desire for sex or the pursuit of stimulation, once it exceeds the boundaries of morality and ethics, is regarded as the sin of lust.

"Understanding it the other way around is enough," the Infinity Blade supplemented from the side.

Soron fell into deep thought, and his understanding of the sin of lust became more profound.

The first item on the note about the sin of lust made him dumbfounded: The first woman is the most important person in the life of the lustful, and her cultivation will become the limit of the lustful.

Soron suddenly realized that if the strength of the first woman was too weak, even if he had a ninth-level or even tenth-level talent, he might be dragged down by that woman, causing him to be unable to break through the Holy Rank in his life.

This made Soron feel fortunate for his restraint.
