Once the stone has been mined, it is transported to Sears for processing and then stacked in a makeshift warehouse next to which a road is being built.

The phrase "building roads before getting rich" is true even in this low-productivity world, and Luther planned to build a main road and a number of arterial and secondary roads at the same time, starting with the factory.

The main road is planned to run through the entire Sears, so it will be the most heavily trafficked road in Sears.

Unlike other roads, the main roads have to be built to be more durable, taking into account the weight of horse-drawn carriages.

Ordinary roads are basically rammed earth and stones, while the main roads need a roadbed, and the main road designed by Luther is 12 meters wide and has 3 meters of sidewalks on both sides.

The roadbed is 2 meters deep and divided into 4 layers, the bottom layer will be paved with small stones after compaction, and then the upper layer is a layer of gravel cement layer of about one meter, and then the top is a stone with a thickness of more than 50 centimeters.

"Is the small drain arranged? Let's start working on it all together. ”

In the hall of the castle, Luther pointed to the blueprints on the paper and explained them in detail to his newly appointed head stonemason, Anderson, and arranged for him to start working recently, after all, there was a lot of stone now.

"Lord Earl, this ......" Anderson's face turned pale, this kind of road is simply lifelong, I don't know how many people will be tired to death, if he wants to do this task, he will have to kill people in the middle of the night.

"Huh. Seeing the other party's appearance, Luther was a little amused, chuckled lightly, and pressed his hand down. "Just build the main road slowly, anyway, it's not for you to finish in a short time, but it's better to get one or two out of the rammed earth road quickly, otherwise the carriage is too troublesome to drive now." ”

It was already a big project, but now there is a serious shortage of labor, and Luther will not drive everyone to build the road even if he thinks with his ass.

At this time, Anderson breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the Earl would arrange a deadline for him, and then no one would have to do it, and it was estimated that he would have to wipe his neck at night.

Anderson, who had stabilized his mind, bowed slightly and pointed to a piece of the drawing and asked, "Lord Earl, what is this cement you are talking about?"

Luther patted his head, he didn't know if there was such a thing as cement here, so he looked at Anderson with some curiosity and asked, "It's just a bunch of things that will harden when mixed with water, you know?"

As soon as he heard that it was this Anderson hurriedly replied: "You are talking about the thing that has been mixed with volcanic ash and lime, we have always used this handover stone, and I heard that some houses are built with this thing and stones." ”

"It's good, you just know how to get it. ”

Luther nodded, originally he could only build another factory to burn cement if he didn't have it, but now there is a local method that saves a lot of trouble, and it also saves manpower and material resources.

As he spoke, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and it was not necessary to guess that it must be the butler or Canadian Solar, and only when these two people came back would no one be informed.

While waving his hand to let Anderson go down, Luther saw Canadian Solar trotting in through the doorway, and holding a report with a happy face.

"Young master, young master. ”

"Listen, look at the smile on your face, are you picking up the money, or is the child born?" Luther looked at Canadian Solar with a smile and replied, but he said to Canadian Solar for a moment, and then said with a bitter face: "Young master, I haven't married yet." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you, let's talk about what's going on?"

Luther looked at the reports on the table and asked at Canadian Solar, there were several more reports in the time he had just instructed Anderson, which made him really want to pick on him.

But it's just a matter of thinking about it, and you have to do it if you don't want to, otherwise the whole Sears will have to mess up again.

"Young Master, the Minethil family is in turmoil, and today I received a report from the soldiers sent back from the front that they have fought each other twice. ”

"Oh?" Luther perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly snatched the report in the other party's hand and checked it.

"Who wrote this, and it was the same as crawling out?" Luther twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw the report, which was too ugly.

But then I thought about it, it must have been written by those knights who casually ordered the soldiers below, otherwise it wouldn't have been like this.

Luther, who shook his head, looked at the report with difficulty, and read it for five minutes before reading all the contents.

It's supposed to be written while talking, so it's very detailed and miscellaneous, and some of it comes to mind on the fly.

"The damage is okay, but this crossbow is exposed. ”

It says that 200 soldiers plus 100 militia wiped out more than 300 soldiers on the other side, and the loss of his side was less than 100, although it was not expected in Luther's heart, but it was okay.

Both sides were cautious on both sides of the first attempt not to use the crossbow, so there were not many casualties.

But after this time, it's a little annoying that I can't go deeper.,The other party now seems to regard Sears as a big enemy.,The defense is very tight.,And even the only castle guard has been transferred out.,It seems that this is preparing to defend to the death.。

Luther, who pointed his finger at the tabletop, thought about it for a long time before sighing, Eric They are useless even if they ask themselves, what good way can the other party defend him, the strong attack must not be considered, the cost is too great, he is a little distressed by dozens of deaths on his side, no matter how much he is not distressed to death.

However, it is useless to consume it like this, the food stored in the castle can't consume them at all, not to mention that the Minethil family must have purchased a lot before the war.

The soldiers on his side are only a little more than a thousand, and the militia is only about 1,000, but of course there are not so many people who are really transferred, and Luther transferred 600 soldiers, 100 militia and 100 cavalry.

Therefore, these more than 800 people can't go head-to-head with each other, considering the other party's previous losses, if there are not two other families to support each other, can the other party have so many soldiers?

"Let's leave it at that, tell them not to retreat, just wander around the territory of the Minethil family, and rob me of everything I can.

But don't go head-to-head. stains, 2,000 people are really powerful, it is estimated that the two families have no less support, and I will clean them up when things are almost done, young master. ”

At present, taking advantage of the serious illness and injury of Count Minethiel, it is a little bit to take advantage of it, if it weren't for the other party's clever gathering of the people, it would be good to grab some people at that time.

It seems that the young master didn't intend to spare those two families, and Canadian Solar couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, although the imperial law stipulates that as long as you don't officially intervene in the war, it will not be considered a declaration of war, but borrowing troops will always cause dissatisfaction on one side, especially the one who is declared war.

Therefore, if the earl of his own family can really make those two families suffer a little, it will definitely be a very happy thing, but it must not be too obvious, otherwise the other party will definitely go to his superior lord to complain.
