"What about the people who sent it? Are there classification statistics?" Roland asked.
"Yes, please see below," the assistant minister pointed to the bottom of the volume, "a total of 1,110 people have been sent to Border Town. Most of them are serfs and have been placed outside the town according to your requirements. Thirty-five craftsmen People, they have been assigned to Karl, and their residences are concentrated in the new civilized area," Barov said the tongue-in-cheek term, "But Your Highness, is this okay? I remember that you originally prepared it for witches."
"The personal guard I sent out to spread the gossip hasn't returned yet. The progress of this matter is slower than I thought. Let the house be used by the craftsmen and their families first, and then build it later." In Roland's plan, Border Town is To be completely renovated, the wooden houses and mud-built bungalows will be converted into brick houses, and at the same time, the spacious streets will be left, instead of the current, most alleys are only large enough for two people to pass side by side.
"Yes," Barov nodded, "His Royal Highness, I heard that cattle and sheep will be shipped there?"
"Well, but not now, I specially let them deliver it a few days later, with the shepherds. To the west of the city wall, isn't there a grassland between the Desperate Forest and the Desperate Mountains? It should be good to change it into a pasture. The city wall is blasted first. Make a gap for people to pass through, after all, it's only useful during the Demon Moon."
Now that there are people and money, the bottleneck to curb the development of Border Town has temporarily disappeared, and Roland can finally let go.
He called the guard outside the door and instructed: "Go and get Carl from the Administration Office. I guess if he is not in the mine, he must be in the wooden shed outside the town."
Half an hour later, Carl walked into the office, bent over and saluted, "Your Highness."
It has been nearly half a year since the first time I met this member of the Mason Association. After being recruited into the Border Town City Hall, he can be regarded as the busiest official in the past six months, presiding over the construction of the city wall, model house community and temporary wooden shed. residential area. At the age of thirty-five, his temples are now showing a few strands of silvery white, and his skin has become darker, but his mental outlook is much stronger than when he first met him, and his voice is full of energy.
It is true that the environment can change a person quickly. Half a year ago, he was a mason who carefully concealed himself and changed his face. Now that he has gone through the project command and personally managed the project, he has the demeanor of a high-ranking person. But what Roland admired most was his willingness to give for others.
Roland smiled and nodded, "Sit down at the table." He handed a few sketches he just drew to the opposite side, "Look at it. I need you to build something new."
"This is a warehouse, um, the bottom is overhead to effectively prevent moisture," Carl quickly scanned the first sketch, and studied it for a while when he turned to the second. "This... is a stove?"
"That's right, you need to build more than five kilns on the northern slope of the mountain for calcining cement and clay bricks. Select the site to find an open place, and consider the location of the material transportation channel and storage yard. In the future, the scale will be large. More kilns will need to be expanded.”
"Yes." He turned to the last sketch and frowned, "This... looks like a ditch? No, it has a roof and a retaining wall... It looks like a pool at the back. Your Highness, I don't quite understand."
Roland smiled and said, "This is the toilet, and it's your top priority."
"Toilet?" Karl thought for a while, "Your Highness, where do you plan to build it? There are commodes in your castle, and the attendants will regularly take care of these buckets. Most of the villagers don't need this kind of thing, they are directly outside the house. It can be solved. The same is true for serfs, just discharge it into the Chishui River, and the river water will take away the filth.”
That's why he smelled a strong stench when he docked today. Roland shook his head and dispelled the unpleasant memory. "That's why we need to change this bad habit."
"Uh... bad habits?" Carl didn't seem to understand.
For civilians who are accustomed to urinating and urinating everywhere, they naturally do not understand how wonderful a world can be without stepping on landmines, Roland sneered in his heart. "Anyway, you can follow the sketch. I have marked the approximate size, and I used the length determined before. The location is selected near the wooden shed, and at least four are built, two by two. Except for the ditch in the middle, which is made of bricks, the sheds, roofs, and partitions outside are all made of wooden boards, which can save a lot of cement.”
"His Royal Highness, you want to gather them... eh," Kalka paused, obviously he felt that talking about such filthy facts in front of His Highness was an insult to the dignity of the royal family, "but what if they don't go in?"
"I'll issue an order for them to obey. You can go and organize your hands to implement it."
"In that case, I will follow your will," he nodded. "His Royal Highness Roland, I have one more thing to report to you."
"you say."
"After the masons' association was forced to disband, many people, like me, chose to leave the capital. I want to write a few letters to recruit the members of the masons association who I know where they are going to Border Town. They have their own strengths, such as yours. As for the furnace mentioned, Losia is very good at it. Your Highness, I don’t know…”
"No problem at all," Roland said immediately, "It's fine to recruit all of them to reorganize the Masons Association, and the salary will be calculated according to the time of the Masons Association. It's okay for those with rich experience to be included in the City Hall."
"Thank you for your generosity," Carl bowed.
After the mason left, he began to write about the management of serfs and the system of renunciation.
The population of Border Town will soon usher in a period of peak growth. If it has been reliant on food imports, if there is a natural disaster, or if the business road is cut off, the town's situation will be precarious. Therefore, in addition to industry, agriculture must also develop rapidly to achieve self-sufficiency in food production as soon as possible.
The prince believes that as long as a promotion path is set up, these serfs will soon be transformed into active farmers. With the improved seeds of leaves, the farmland by the Chishui River will become a golden sea of wheat ears in summer.
The requirement for priority construction of toilets is also prepared for agricultural development. After people, land and seeds are available, the last part that needs to be supplemented is fertilizer.
Of course, Roland knew that human and animal manure was very troublesome to use, requiring regular cleaning of the storage tank and manpower composting, which was far less convenient than chemical fertilizers. But the chemical industry has no clue now, so he had to use this pure natural organic fertilizer to replace at least human and animal manure, which has been tested by time. Until the 20th century, some rural areas can still see this traditional method of fertilization.
And people in other worlds have a pitiful understanding of fertilizers. Most people think that feces are a kind of filth. Except for disgusting others, they have never thought that it is actually useful. Therefore, in the annual cultivation, farmers still adopt the three-round cultivation system, dividing a piece of cultivated land into three parts, which are used for spring sowing, autumn sowing and fallow in turn, so as to avoid continuous cultivation from exhausting soil fertility.
