The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

   Chapter 1271 Prepare to build new villages and towns

  The weather is still hot in late summer.

   Even at dawn, the sun is a bit dazzling.

  Charles stood in front of a clearing, and a group of big men stood in front of him in twos and threes to listen to his morning shift meeting on the first day of work.

   "There are two tasks today." Charles felt as if he was back when he was just working. "One group followed Joseph to prepare the formwork and supports, and the other group handled the foundation."

This large piece of land bought by Andrew is considered cheap. A fire broke out inexplicably more than ten years ago and became a haunted house. Later, after someone bought the land and built a house, the fire killed people, so it was deserted there. .

  According to Andrew's statement, his children are descendants of giant dragons, and those strange events can be suppressed.

  Charles went to Reimu to see Feng Shui out of curiosity, and after he threw a "small probability event", he went back to play the game.

Because the three small buildings that Andrew was going to build were side by side, Charles helped him optimize it, adding steel reinforcement to the beams and columns, building them as a two-story building, and then using brick walls to separate them. Three servings, which saves some material.

   Hearing that he could save materials, Andrew agreed without thinking.

  Because the transportation capacity of the small river next to the town is limited, the materials he bought were delivered in batches, and the last batch of materials could be less so, and the money could be refunded.

   After Joseph took a few people out to chop down trees, Charles and Andrew and others began to clear the weeds and debris on the homestead.

   These people have a lot of strength and work very quickly.

  Charles checked the soil on the ground, and then said to Andrew: "The soil is a little damp and soft. We need to waterproof the floor later. Now it's better to tamp it before laying the foundation."

   Andrew asked: "Does waterproofing cost money?"

  Charles shook his head and said, "It doesn't cost a lot of money to spread crushed stones and ram it, then boil a few large pots of slime glue and pour it on."

  The slime doesn't need money, he chops the firewood himself, just spend some labor, and Andrew nodded immediately.

   It just gave Charles a bit of a toothache when he rammed the ground. The cobbler in the town rammed the ground with a few meteorites.

   As for the operations such as bending steel bars with his bare hands and welding steel bars with flame magic, he is already immune.

  The next step is to dig sewage to communicate with the sewer, dig ground beams and trenches, lay steel bars, mix concrete to pour ground beams, vibrate them, and then cover them with sackcloth and sprinkle water for maintenance.

  Fortunately, everyone has seen Charles build a small model before, and basically know how to do this work, so that someone can save some time.

   When Charles arranged to sprinkle water to maintain the beams, the cobbler asked, "Master, will this house grow tomorrow if you water more?"

  …

  The time just passed, and there was no major problem except that the formwork of a column was not nailed firmly according to Charles' requirements during the pouring, resulting in the explosion of the formwork and a little honeycomb at the base of the two columns.

   Charles was speechless at the time, and it was rare for such a small pillar to explode.

   These days were uneventful, nothing major happened except Mordred ran away crying ten minutes after returning home.

   This day, Charles had just taught those people to use vertical lines to control the verticality of the walls. When he was about to fish beside the rented man-machine concrete mixer, a group of people who often came to watch appeared again.

The city guards and the adventurers' union in the town are obviously very interested in this kind of house. The city guards just plan to replace the wooden barracks that started growing mushrooms in the near future. The adventurers' union plans to build a temporary camp in the mountain. Apparently they were all looking at brick and mortar houses.

  Sometimes Stella will come over, she is here to watch the fun.

   But today the mayor Peter came along, and he personally invited Charles to come to him in the afternoon to consult with him on important matters.

   So Charles went back to the small building at noon to eat lunch, take a shower, put on decent clothes and put on gold-rimmed eyes, and then came to the mayor's mansion in the center of the town at teatime.

  In the living room, after the maid brought the tea, Peter politely asked Charles, "I took the liberty to invite the master over today to inquire about something."

   "I wonder if Master has heard of the Slime Pioneering Group?"

Charles unhurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the rose tea, then said slowly with the teacup, "I have some connections with the Slime Basin, and I have met their head of state Ji Shijun a lot, and they have a lot to do with the town. Has there been any conflict?"

   Peter replied, "There is no conflict."

   "It's like this. Yesterday, a person from the Slime Basin came with a letter of introduction from our Lord Krum, saying that he wanted to contract the fields outside our town."

   "They said they could increase the yield of crops on our fields by half."

   "Master, you are a well-informed and intelligent person. I want to ask if what they say is true?"

  Charles nodded slightly, took another sip of tea, and said, "They should have given you a plan, can you show it to me?"

  Peter immediately had a booklet brought over to Charles.

  Charles looked at the previous master plan section, which wrote the land plan around the town.

I don’t know when the people from the Slime Basin came to investigate. On the basis of the original farmland, they plan to reclaim the hills in the upper reaches and the places far away from the small rivers to plant corn and beans, and dig a row in the place with many stones on the downstream side. Ducks and lotus roots are raised in the pond, and there is a farm next to it to raise livestock such as chickens and pigs.

  Cultivating wasteland and digging ponds is not a simple job, and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

   However, the Slime Frontier Group uses machinery such as tractors and excavators, which are far more efficient than human and animal power.

   The use of chemical fertilizers has become a common thing for people in the Slime Basin. Recently, Ji Shijun has not sold chemical fertilizers on a large scale, but has given priority to the use of villages, towns and farms managed by the pioneering group.

  Charles put the plan on the coffee table, pretended to drink tea and thought for a few minutes before saying to Peter: "Their plan is very good. From what I know about them, they can achieve the output they claim."

   Just Peter said worriedly: "I have heard some bad rumors about them, such as their people will kidnap girls all over the place."

  Charles said seriously: "Don't worry, it's a rumor. Now I don't know how many girls want to work in the Slime Basin. The supply of Hualou is almost exhausted, and there is no need to abduct and sell women."

   "But I have a piece of advice, let the tenant farmers listen to what the people in the Slime Basin have to say and do what they want."

   "Those people are experts. It's not a problem to grow pumpkins as big as a wheel. If you don't have that ability, just shut up."

  Charles can only help Ji Shijun so much, because according to the script, he will find time to beat this guy.

After    finished talking about this, Peter said apologetically to Charles: "Autumn is coming soon, and the bandits in the mountains may come out again to grab the food in the fields."

   "So, please don't go out during this time."

   "As long as we leave some food in the ground for them, they will not embarrass us."

  Charles, who was about to drink tea, asked curiously, "Are those bandits very powerful?"

  Peter said solemnly: "There are more than 20 bandits in the deep mountains in the distance~www.readwn.com~ The number exceeds 3,000."

   "They don't usually do business here, but we have to leave some food and salt for them."

  Charles frowned and asked, "Why do you allow so many bandits not far from the king? Who raised them?"

   If there are one or two hundred bandits, it would make sense, but these bandits are more than three thousand, no less than an army.

The only possibility    is which force these bandits belong to.

  Peter looked at the ceiling a little embarrassedly and didn't answer, a move that confirmed Charles' guess.

  Since it's a dog raised by someone else, then he can't be bothered to pay attention to someone else.

   Suddenly someone came in and whispered to the mayor.

  Charles overheard the content of the whisper out of curiosity: "The insider is reporting, the preparations in the mountains gather to make a big vote in the south, and the goal is to prepare for someone passing by us."
