January 19, noon.

In the field, Lynn and Jasmine were standing.

It is not far from Blackwater City, only a few dozen miles, the terrain is flat, and it is supposed to be an excellent area for growing food, but because the land is barren, there is a lack of precipitation, and there is no river around it for irrigation, so it has been abandoned.

At this time, the eyes are full of dry weeds, and occasionally there are a few tenacious plants, which still maintain their emerald color in the cold wind of this ice moon, which can be regarded as an embellishment.

Lynn looked around, looked at Jasmine with doubt, and asked, "What are we doing here?"

"Move on to the next big mission. Jasmine replied, still wearing the scarlet dress at this time, as if this was in line with her name as the blood princess, in a sense, it was a deliberate attempt to strengthen her image.

Still confused, Lynn asked, "What mission?"

"Build a new city. Jasmine replied.

Lynn frowned, recalling that the scroll that Richard had given him earlier had indeed mentioned it. But it was just a short line, a few words, and he didn't care too much. Now it seems that this matter is not ordinary.

Looking up, Lynn looked around again and asked aloud, "So, you're going to build a new city here?" So how big is it going to build? What are the specific plans? Do we want to discuss this, or ask Lord Richard?"

"There was no need to discuss, no need to ask, it was all decided a long time ago. It's just that you were busy with the efficiency department at that time, and I didn't tell you, so I saved you from being distracted. Jasmine waved her hand, tilting her head slightly, and called out, "Sue." ”

"Princess. The lame sorceress Su Wensheng stepped forward and handed out a long, thick scroll.

Jasmine took the scroll, handed it to Lynn, and said, "Take a look, this is the plan of the new city." ”

Lynn took it curiously, put it on the ground, and slowly opened it.

As a result, I only opened it a little, and after looking at it, my eyes narrowed.

After that, his breath was slightly short, and he accelerated the scroll to open, and his eyes widened.

I saw that the entire scroll was painted with extremely complex architectural planning diagrams, and because he was too professional, he couldn't fully understand it. However, this did not prevent him from knowing the scale of the schematic.

The reason is very simple, on this schematic diagram, it directly includes Blackwater City, which is dozens of miles away, and it only occupies a small area the size of a palm. According to this ratio, it is not a "one" city at all, but a "piece" of the city.

Urban agglomeration?

How many people do you want to occupy?

100,000 people? 100,000 people?

Tens of millions, tens of thousands?

Anyway, it's more than enough to put all the people in sarin inside.

It's crazy, it's also unrealistic.

How can this be done? This can't be built for a hundred years, right?

Lynn frowned deeply, trying not to lose her temper, withdrew her gaze from the scroll, looked at Jasmine, and asked aloud, "Are you sure that this scroll is the new city that Lord Richard asked him to build?"

"Oh, I know you're shocked and impossible, actually, when I saw it, I felt the same way. "Still, you can rest assured that this is just an imaginary final form." Now what we need to build, it's not so exaggerated, just complete a small part of this plan, and the rest will be expanded by the people who come after. ”

As she spoke, Jasmine called again, "Sue." ”

Sue the sorceress stepped up again, this time handing over a shorter, smaller scroll.

Jasmine handed it to Lynn, who opened it and looked at it carefully for a while, exhaled, and relaxed slightly.

The plan on the scroll was finally normal, though it was still more complicated, far more than any city he had ever seen, but at least it was a city that could be built, at most it was a matter of how long it would take to build.

Putting away the scroll, Lynn asked Jasmine, "How long will it take for us to finish building this city?"

"Up to half a year, of course, it would be better if it was in advance. Jasmine said lightly.

"Half a year?!" Lynn raised her eyebrows, didn't shout like a frizzy young man, shouted impossible, paced in place for a while, and said, "If it is half a year at most, then the human, material and financial resources used will be a very exaggerated figure, I don't know if I can support it, after all, Sarin has always had no money." ”

Jasmine replied: "You don't have to worry about money, you may not know that the most important thing you need is money, your current Lord Richard." As for the manpower side - remember I told you, there will be other people coming and competing with you for the position of deputy head of the efficiency department, so don't worry too much about that, at least the manpower side can solve more than half of it. And you are responsible for finding a way to mobilize material resources to ensure that there will be no materials that will be left unavailable during the construction process. ”

Lynn listened, groaned and nodded: "Then when did you start building the city?"

"Now. Jasmine said very dryly.

......

As we all know, there are only three steps to build a city.

The first step is to make the decision to build a city.

The second step is to build.

The third step is done.

Among these three steps, the first step obviously does not take much effort, and the third step is not difficult, and the most difficult step is the second step.

And Lynn, at this time, is going through this second step.

Jasmine announced the start of the construction of the city, very simply, but the various things that followed were pressed on his head.

At the beginning, he said that he could only be responsible for the material aspect, but to be responsible for the material must be rich, which must deal with money.

Although Jasmine brought him a large amount of gold and silver coins, and indicated that he could spend as much as he wanted, he was still skeptical about whether he could continue to supply money in the future, so he tried to spend every gold and silver coin in the right place to maximize the mobilization of supplies.

For example, to build a city, the first thing you need is stone.

The sarin is mountainous, the stone can be mined nearby, it is cheap and easy to transport. But the problem is that the quality of the stone is often not very good, and because there are no mature large quarries, the amount of mining is also a problem.

In this case, either money is invested in the construction of new quarries, or the expansion of old quarries, or the stone is purchased directly from the rest of the world.

It's not a simple question of which is good and which is bad, it needs to be considered together, and the decision is to do both – one to procure and some to mine yourself, so that all needs can be met and costs can be minimized.

The stone problem is solved, and it does not end there, after all, the materials only make sense if they are used. And this in turn had to be done by someone, and Lynn had to be involved in part of the management of the manpower.
