Chapter 277: Rail Transit

After all, he was the one who led the project of "Research on the Fusion Speed of Gold Coins at Room Temperature in Magical Solutions".

Although he used more experimental equipment (gold coins) in order to obtain detailed experimental materials, Gourd still believed that one day he would be able to enter the Imperial treasury and melt the mountains of gold coins into a tube of solution that could be carried with him, fulfilling his ultimate dream of stealing the vault.

As for how to break through the defenses of the vault and enter the vault, Gourd sees it as an obstacle to his research, or according to him, it is "something outside of the technical level, and I don't need to think about it!" ”

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Standing at the door of Morey's study, Gourd took a deep breath, and carefully recalled the words he had written before to deal with Morey's problem, and then mustered up the courage to push the door in, but as soon as they met, he was pressed to the seat by the enthusiastic Morey.

Just as Gourd was at war, weighing whether the experiment was more important or his own innocence was more precious, Morey handed him a stack of papers on the table.

"Here's some interesting stuff we've discovered lately, check it out!"

Gourd took the document with some confusion, but he only looked at it a few times and was deeply attracted by the information in it.

Although the beast tide has ended, there are still some beasts left in the wilderness and caves, for the safety of the people of Red Leaf City, and also for military training, during this time, the city guards and militia of Red Leaf City, in groups of hundreds, continue to search and clear these fish that have slipped through the net.

While a city guard team was clearing the remnants of the beast, they accidentally found a giant snake hiding in an abandoned manor.

This is also the death of those giant snakes, they were hiding in this abandoned manor and no one came to trouble them, but they actually took the city guards who were scouting through here as prey.

The city guards who found that there were soldiers missing immediately reported layer by layer, Johnson and others were itching, and led the army to dig out all these giant pythons, peel them and extract their bones, and at the same time, the secret of the sudden rise and sudden collapse of a family was also revealed to the world.

There is a huge cave under this abandoned manor, and it is from this cave that the python is attracted to it.

Beneath the cave is an underground river leading to Lake Mahi, and every year when the water table rises, a large school of underground fish returns, and the vertical stone cave connecting the cave and the underground river becomes a fish well that gushes out, bringing a large amount of income to the merchants waiting here.

Unfortunately, an earthquake blocked the river, and the merchants were unable to dig up the water veins blocked by thick mud and stones, so they gradually declined, and even the manor built on it to hide people's eyes was in ruins because no one took care of it.

Gourd took a closer look and found that the ruins were about thirty miles away from Red Leaf City, which was not too far away.

"Boss, I think this business can be done!"

"You see, according to the records of that family, April and May are the time when the fish return, and if we send a convoy at that time, the fish we will get is calculated at 10,000 pounds per day, and the annual fish harvest alone will be 600,000 pounds!"

"And they don't have to work hard to catch them, they jump into our nets on their own!"

Based on the price of meat in the market at 6 silver coins per pound, 600,000 pounds of fish is enough to convert Morey back at least 36,000 gold coins, not counting the premium generated by fresh catch.

But what Morey is interested in is not the stable income of 40,000 or 50,000 gold coins per year, but the fact that such a rich catch is enough to expand the urban population of Red Leaf City by at least 2,000 people.

Now Goude has tasted the sweetness of a large city, the latest fixed population of Red Leaf City has exceeded 40,000, and the population of Red Leaf City should be around 60,000 if you count the floating population, and it is increasing rapidly at a rate of more than a dozen people per day.

This huge flow of people has brought incomparably prosperous commerce, and now the original residents of Red Leaf City can earn a lot of income just by renting out their houses, and it has also given birth to the first batch of chartered fathers and chartered women.

The more permanent population a city has, the more floating population it attracts, the more shops it attracts, and the more prosperous the city becomes, further attracting people to come to the city to make a living, and then forming a virtuous circle.

But there is a limit to the number of people a city can attract, and once this threshold is exceeded, the prices of various daily necessities in the city will skyrocket, and then dissuade all kinds of latecomers.

The urban area of Red Leaf City is actually enough, if it doesn't work, Morey still has the killer feature of high-rise buildings that has not been used, plus Morey is the only legal lord of Red Leaf City, and there is no one who can hinder it in planning, so in fact, in terms of urban development space, it can be said that this is unlimited in a short period of time.

But the difficulty lies in the food and other living materials, as we all know, the land in the Far East is barren, and Wang Du may be able to feed a person with one acre of land, but in the Far East this number has become 2 acres or even more, and the area of farmland that can be cultivated around the city is limited after all, so the grain production of Red Leaf City has entered a bottleneck in the short term.

Now that such a high-speed development actually depends on a large amount of Emerald City grain that has entered the market at a low price, which is Di Liya's support for Morey, but Morey cannot rely on it for the rest of his life, otherwise it will be unclear who this Red Leaf City will listen to, so the self-reliance of food is on the agenda.

Now, a single artesian fish well can provide Morey with 2,000 strong labor rations, which not only reduces the burden on Momiji City, but also enriches the market.

Although Gourd rubbed his hands together excitedly and wanted to see it immediately, Morey still pressed his excitement and handed over another plan.

"It's!"

Goude couldn't believe his eyes, the plan was fantastical, but when he thought about it, it was enough to be carried out.

"Boss, who is the person who wrote this plan? Can you transfer him to work under me? ”

The more Gou De looked at it, the more excited he became, the words tunnel, waterway, cableway, defense line, and concealment filled Gou De's mind, making him want to stop at the same time, but also want to grab this kind of talent first.

"I don't plan to work in the tax department yet!"

Morey smirked at Gode's petrified expression.

Yes, the plan for the underground fast-track was written by Morey.

In the plan, Morey plans to dig a 30-mile underground tunnel that will connect Momiji Castle to the caverns beneath the ruins.

In this way, when the water table rises sharply, the passage of the underground warehouse that is slightly inclined to Momiji Castle can send fresh underground fish directly to Momiji Castle through the waterway, eliminating the need for transshipment and fishing.

And not only that, Morey also planned to build a rail-like transportation line at the top of the tunnel to quickly transport people and supplies 30 miles away by miniaturized steam engine winch.

This is only the first phase of the plan, the second phase of the connection of the Saber Fort, the third phase of the connection of the Ma Xi Lake to open up the Far East to the sea of the huge plan, this is not an ordinary underground passage plan, this is a huge underground transportation network, is a huge lifeline.
