Chapter 743: You have to do it if you lose money
From the Golden Cliff to the Twilight Forest, Su Mo thought back to Huggins' long coastline and felt like his head was about to explode.
The Golden Cliff is a cliff-like cliff shrouded in fog all year round, known as the forbidden area of life, from which the creatures of the abyss cannot climb ashore, and the border between Huggins and the other noble realms is also in that location.
At the other end of the coastline, it stretches all the way to a part of the twilight forest.
There are many monsters in the twilight forest, and there is even an existence like Qinglong standing at the top of the food chain in the Eastern Continent, Su Mo doesn't believe that those abyssal creatures will have a good end if they go in.
Huggins' coastline, on the other hand, is unprotected.
If a Great Wall fortress were to be built, it would be a huge amount of work due to the total length - six million gold coins would obviously not be enough.
However, the stones are ready-made, and the design can be simplified, and the biggest expense is actually the labor cost.
If Huggins was the original Stan, it would be better to say.
Stan's territory belongs to the Federation's few good territories, and there are many local adults, so you can levy 100,000 coolies casually.
But Huggins doesn't have that many people, and the dozens of villages now have an estimated lack of 2,000 NPCs who can pull them out to work.
Even if all these people were to be requisitioned together, they wouldn't be able to do much work.
"You guys, can you help?" Su Mo hit the idea on this 15,000 garrison, if he didn't want money, he would be able to leave a lot.
"Yes, but we have to train and fight most of the time, and we don't have much time to work and not much energy to work." Thorin Sartre didn't refuse, but it was no different from rejection.
People beat abyssal creatures for a day, and they were injured all over their bodies, and you actually let people move stones?
Su Mo's follower, Thorin Sartre, and the power named the Abyss Reserve Regiment, came to the shores of Huggins.
At this time, the sea is peaceful, and the seagulls are flapping their wings and flying.
It's early summer, and when the sea breeze blows, it brings cool humidity, which can be said to be very comfortable.
There are some amphibious monsters on the beach, some walking sideways, some walking backwards, and some jumping.
"When can we start building a fortress? We may only have half a month. Thorin Sartre asked.
"Uncle, you can't be in such a hurry, I must completely study the terrain here, as well as the rise and fall of the tide, and also understand the monsters in the abyss, if you don't understand their characteristics, the things built won't work in vain." Su Mo explained helplessly.
"Yes, it turns out that you are not only a thief, but also know a little bit about military strategy." Thorin Sartre praised Su Mo.
Su Mo snorted coldly and didn't refute, after all, he really went to someone else to steal something.
"I made an appointment with someone, I can go to see the abyss in the afternoon, you can go with me, now I need to build a temporary camp here, and your people will also help." Thorin Sartre said.
"No problem." Su Mo asked the people he brought to help set up camp.
This is an absolute professional counterpart, and there is no one here who can't set up the camp, and he is better at it than these medieval earthen buns.
Su Mo himself contacted the senior who helped with the design last time.
Don't look at him as he has graduated, but those seniors are still seniors, after all, everyone has a doctorate and a master's degree or something.
In front of them, Master Su was illiterate.
Dean's teachers don't bother, even the students of the academy should be able to do this job, more or less professional.
"What, let's build the Great Wall?" The old brother whose ID is called Shadow Knight A Yuanyuan received the message, which was shocked, he thought that Su Mo was joking, and immediately confirmed again: "Are you sure you want to build the Great Wall?" ”
The last time I came into the game, some returned to the real world after finishing their work, while others became addicted.
This shadow knight, Ah Yuanyuan, is actually the latter.
The doctoral students, who are several levels older than Su Mo, have already obtained the internal contract of the college, and they are only waiting to graduate to become the lecturer of the college, and the level is absolutely leveraged.
It's a pity that people are really a little uncomfortable, and they can only say a few words when it comes to professionalism.
However, this changed after entering the game.
In the game, the taciturn old otaku completely let go of himself and didn't plan to continue being an otaku.
Smoking and drinking beer, that's called a six-six-six.
"Senior, don't worry, it's definitely an officially approved project, and I'm forced to be helpless in this job, so I thought of asking you professionals for help." Su Mo said.
"I think it's okay, I didn't expect this game to be really interesting, I grew up, and I never even imagined that I could one day participate in the construction of the Great Wall." The old otaku was in a very agitated mood, and felt that his three views had been washed again.
He couldn't help but think that if he had more opportunities like this, wouldn't he be able to train a generation of architects in the game.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't think to talk about compensation.
After studying for a doctorate and successfully hiring in the university, Ah Yuanyuan no longer worries about money, and the old otaku doesn't seem to spend a lot of money except for buying figures.
If the designer is found, then the next step is the person who does the work.
No matter how Su Mo calculated, he couldn't afford to pay so much money, and the six million gold coins given by the Federation were obviously not enough.
If there is no time limit of half a month - for the sake of safety, Su Mo had better build the Great Wall in ten days, otherwise halfway through the construction, the abyss creatures will rush in front of him - if you don't ask for half a month, 100,000 people will do it slowly.
However, now it is required to be completed in 10 days, and the amount of work is relatively large, and at least 300,000 people must be requisitioned.
These 300,000 people had to eat, drink, and live, and after Wallace became consul, he specially increased the treatment of hard labor in this area.
Not counting eating and drinking, the reward of a gold coin is the bottom line.
The unconvinced aristocrats were killed by their entire families as Wallace swept through the Federation.
Even if a citizen gives one gold coin a day, 300,000 people will need three million gold coins for ten days, and it seems that six million can solve the problem, but the problem is not so simple.
Su Mo didn't have 300,000 people, so it would be good if he could make up 3,000.
Most of these 300,000 people need to be requisitioned from other territories, so the cost is actually more than the transportation costs.
Food can be put in the player's backpack and brought over, but people can't.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Mo decided to give up using the aborigines to build the Great Wall, and he wanted to gather the foot men.
But the foot man is not easy to agitate, not all people are as good as the shadow knight A Yuanyuan, in fact, Su Mo did not fool at all, he only said that he wanted to build the Great Wall, and this guy agreed to help.
