"You want to go with me around the construction site?"

Hearing the new demands of these displaced representatives, Duke looked at them with some surprise, but he didn't expect that their last request and worry was actually this.

But if you think about it, Duke can figure out why.

These people could not resist the oppression of the former nobles and landlords, so they had to flee the countryside and become homeless people running around to survive, if the labor mentioned by Duke was no different from the exploitation they had suffered before, the vast majority of the homeless people would no longer accept such conditions, it is better to continue to live in the mountains.

"Yes, we'd love to see it if you had some time to spare. The man continued, "We can't tell our friends without observing it first. ”

That's the same thing. Duke nodded in agreement, "The construction site is just underway, let's get ready now." ”

Just now, the anvil was still asking Duke when he would be able to take the time to go to the construction site to see the progress of the road construction, and now it happened that the representatives of the displaced people had the intention of observing the construction site, so Duke agreed to push the boat down the river, in fact, he was also a little curious in his heart What kind of situation would he encounter if he ran to the construction site for a surprise inspection without warning.

And those representatives of the displaced people were also a little surprised, they didn't expect Duke to be so happy, they just tried to make a suggestion, but Duke immediately agreed, and didn't have time to prepare or disguise, which made them very satisfied in their hearts, and there was a little more evaluation and trust in Duke.

"The empty carriage that took us to work has returned, and we can take that to the construction site. ”

Randy, who was on the side, hurriedly suggested that the homeless people usually go to work in the large trucks drawn by Joseph as a means of transportation, and at this time, these carriages have already traveled back and forth, and they are resting on grass in the stables at the back of the camp.

Duke nodded and told Randy to get ready himself, and said, "Then you arrange for someone to transport these people over, and Vlavic and I will go first." ”

When Randy agreed, Duke stepped into Vlavic's carriage again, telling his coachman to turn the head of the cart in the direction the anvil had just left.

In just ten minutes, the carriage took the two of them to feel a hot construction site outside the south gate.

Walking along a compacted dirt road, Duke saw that many prototypes of cement roads had appeared on the ground, and not far away, more than a dozen people were constantly untying the cement bags in their hands and pouring them on the ground, bringing in various materials for mixing.

More people are using stones to lay the roadbed, they will pile the waste slag and stones into a pile of plum blossoms, and then the people behind will use a special tool to lay these stones on the ground and compact, and finally use fine stones to fill the gaps, and finally pave a simple stone road, just waiting for the mixing of cement to be poured and filled.

"Lord, why did you come here so soon? Didn't you say we'd arrange it tomorrow?"

The anvil, which resembles a miner's hat, suddenly caught a glimpse of Duke when he was busy, and immediately ran over with his short legs pulsating in surprise, and asked suspiciously.

"The new homeless people wanted to visit the construction site first, so I stopped by with them. Duke smiled and explained, "What are these people doing?"

"They're paving the roadbed. Anvil said a little bit about a bunch of principles that Duke couldn't understand, and then suddenly sighed: "Fortunately, there is enough slag in the Connaughton area, otherwise we wouldn't have spent a lot on these stones." ”

"Slag from the Connaughton region is coming here?" Vlavich asked in surprise when he heard the anvil, "Wouldn't that take too much time and money?"

For so long, Vlavich has been mainly responsible for the resettlement of displaced people, and the construction of roads has been completely entrusted to Joseph to manage, and there are many specific things that he does not know, and today he is also the first time since the start of construction like Duke.

"It is common sense that it takes less time and freight to pull slag in those wagons and ox carts than to hire people to dig the rock. "But we've added a little new big guy to the Connaughton area and the site that will help us bring in the slag and cement from the new plant." ”

"Something new, something big?"

None of the Vlavic had any idea of what the anvil was talking about, and he couldn't imagine anything that could transport slag and cement across two places at the same time, knowing that the order of magnitude required to build a road could not be solved by one or two bags of materials.

However, Anvil just laughed and said nothing, saying that Vlavich would know what it was later.

The old dwarf had been in human society for so long, and he had finally learned some of the treacherous and other characteristics of humans, and he tried to joke with his colleagues, saying that Vlavich was helpless.

But Duke could still guess a little, and he caught a glimpse from a distance of what seemed to be something bright on the ground on the side of the hill on the side of the roadbed, laid out in two rows on the ground.

At the same time, the anvil had been tinkering with a steam engine for some time, and Duke had made a lot of suggestions for how to use it, and an answer came to his mind.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a whistle suddenly came from behind him, followed by the babbling of various carriages on the dirt floor.

Randy had just arrived with the representatives of the homeless people, and now they all jumped out of the car and looked at the construction site with interest, chattering like students on a spring outing.

Some people still looked at the iron pillar beside Duke as if they had seen a ghost, only to think that the duke was a duke after all, and even the legendary race of dwarves could be taken under his command.

"Lord, I've brought them all, how can I arrange for them to visit?"

After restraining the outcast representatives again, Randy asked respectfully.

Duke didn't have much experience in this area, so he turned to the foreman here and asked the foreman Anvil: "You are familiar with this place, can you take a look at the arrangements for them?"

"It's fine. Anvil readily agreed, cleared his throat and said, "Then let's ...... first."

Before he could begin speaking, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the representatives of the displaced people standing in front of him had now crossed him and saw the scene behind him.

In the midst of his doubts, there was a sudden jolting and shaking sensation on the ground, the air was filled with the smell of burning, and a loud roar accompanied by a whistling sound was flying towards the place where Duke and the others were standing......
