Xin Yu felt that the war had been delayed, and this was because he spread the weapon of the breech gun.

Now, in every city of the Rhaegar Empire, more or less such weapons, some bought by nobles, others in the hands of adventurers.

As soon as the breech gun came out, it was sought after by almost everyone, after all, this weapon is too convenient, if you use a bow and arrow, the muscles will not be able to stand it if you pull the bow many times, but just using a breech gun, you will not feel tired at all.

This led to an arms race between the Rhaegar Empire and the Orc Court, both of whom wanted to equip their armies with more breech guns.

Before the advent of breech guns, a large army had gathered on the border between the Rhaegar Empire and the Orc King's Court, ready for war at any time.

But after the advent of breech guns, these two behemoths chose to temporarily stop the war, continue conscription, and conduct an arms race.

Xin Yu, as a count of the Rhaegar Empire, was responsible for providing three thousand soldiers for the emperor, and other nobles also had to provide soldiers for the emperor.

Depending on the rank of knighthood, the number of soldiers to be provided by different ranks of nobles varies.

Xin Yu knew that if the Rhaegar Empire wanted to recruit troops from all the noble territories, I am afraid it would take a lot of time.

Other nobles will not be as cheerful as Xin Yu, and in the face of the emperor's conscription, these nobles may use various methods to shirk, or provide very poor soldiers.

Many times, in the face of the emperor's conscription, the nobles would initially claim that they could provide an army of 10,000, but when the soldiers of the nobles were handed over to the emperor, they would find that the soldiers provided by the nobles were just farmers with a few pitchforks, not even a sword.

This is why the emperor needed powerful high-ranking tax collectors to monitor the recruitment of nobles, and in addition to Barrett, the high-ranking tax collector, there were many high-ranking tax collectors who carried out conscription in different regions of the Rhaegar Empire.

For Xin Yu, this meant giving a lot of time for the development of Bloodstone Town.

......

But the development of human cities will always encounter various problems.

A sudden heavy rain disrupted Xin Yu's plan.

Xin Yu suddenly remembered that this season was when it rained in the Rhaegar Empire, located in the west of the continent.

The torrential rain came with the monsoon, and then Xin Yu's territory was flooded, and most of the houses in Bloodstone Town were flooded, but fortunately, Xin Yu's castle as a lord was very high, and the rain could not flood here at all.

In Bloodstone, the magicians of the Geoengineering Department are using various methods to drain the rainwater.

Earth-based magicians are controlling the dirt to form a waterproof wall, while water-based magicians are using magic to manipulate rainwater to flow out of town.

Xin Yu suddenly realized that when his Bloodstone Town was established, the drainage system did not seem to be designed at all.

You know, those big cities that have been passed down through the ages, if they are located in rainy areas, then they will have a very developed drainage system.

Xin Yu remembers that in some of the huge cities in this world, the sewers are built like huge labyrinths, such as the imperial capital of the Rhaegar Empire, the sewers of that city are like a huge labyrinth, forming a very complex network underground, and from time to time there are strange creatures such as monsters, mutant mice, and goblins in the sewers.

To this end, the royal family even sends adventurers or armies into the sewers every year to suppress all kinds of monsters inside, otherwise I am afraid that there will be mutant rats in the sewers in broad daylight to drag people into the sewers.

Xin Yu realized at this time that a huge sewer should be built for Bloodstone Town, or an underground labyrinth.

That's right, an underground labyrinth in the name of a sewer.

In fact, the sewers in many cities are no different from underground labyrinths, they are all the same large and intricate.

At that time, Xin Yu's territory can be divided into two parts, above ground and underground, and the ground is Bloodstone Town, which may become Bloodstone City in the future.

The underground labyrinthine sewers can expand as the territory grows, and hides a lot of things for the rain.

If he could, Xin Yu could even let the few giant devouring worms he bred dig out the passage from the underground world to the sewers of Bloodstone Town.

At that time, Xin Yu can let his heirs and believers move in the underground labyrinth of Bloodstone Town.

At that time, Xin Yu was exposed, and there were various solutions.

For example, someone asked Xin Yu why there were cultists and monsters in the sewers under his territory?

Sewers in many places are like this.

As for why the sewers in their own territory are built like labyrinths, the same is true of sewers elsewhere.

However, Xin Yu also realized that it would take a lot of manpower for him to do so, but now there were many displaced people in the territory, and those displaced people that Ivan II had been unable to solve were rushing towards Xin Yu's territory in large numbers at this time.

Every day, hundreds of people would come to Xin Yu's territory, hoping to sign a contract with Xin Yu and obtain a piece of land given by the lord.

Moreover, the merchant ships that constantly transported slaves also continued to sail to the port of Bloodstone Town, of course, the slaves in those merchant ships were just flesh and blood cultists disguised as slaves.

For Xin Yu, it is of course good that more and more people are coming to the territory, but the speed of opening up the forest can no longer keep up with the speed of these Bloodstone Town's acceptance of displaced people.

Xin Yu could only find a way to provide work for these displaced people.

These displaced people are a great fortune for Xin Yu, and Xin Yu cannot be sure that these displaced people are starved to death no matter what.

However, the problem is that Xin Yu has not been able to provide land to these displaced people, and generally Xin Yu will only give to those who have signed contracts to become farmers in Xin Yu's territory, and before these people's crops are ripe, Xin Yu will provide food for these people to prevent them from starving to death before the crops are ripe.

But if these new arrivals, who have not yet been allocated land, are not starved to death, they must be provided with free food.

Xin Yu now finds himself facing the same problem as the entire Rhaegar Empire, that is, there is enough food to provide for everyone, but there are not enough job opportunities, and there is no chance for everyone to get food by labor.

Simply put, it is impossible to provide work for everyone, and those who do not have a job have no opportunity to exchange their labor for food, and can only starve to death.

"Fortunately, there is a way to provide cash-for-work."

The construction of sewers in Bloodstone was a chance to give these newly displaced people the opportunity to trade their labor for food.

This method was still learned by Xin Yu in his previous life, and cash-for-work was simply a relief method used by great benevolent people in the feudal era.

After all, in the Rhaegar Empire, many displaced people have neither "work" nor "relief", and when they encounter a lord who is willing to work for relief, they can't ask for it.

The heavy rain in Xin Yu's territory only lasted for one day before it ended, and looking at the rapidly drying pavement, Xin Yu knew that the time had come.
