A masonry canal is the most suitable, requiring 20 units of masonry, 5 units of cement, 5 units of tools, and 5 units of planks per meter. Lu Cheng considered that the faster the flow rate of water, the better, so it would be better to build the canal higher, which required raising the foundation of the canal. Considering the construction period, Lu Cheng decided to raise the foundation by 1 meter, which can increase the speed of the water flow a lot.

I tried to build a section, and after calculation, I found that if multiple sections were built at the same time, and the construction period including the foundation elevation was calculated, it could be completed in less than 10 hours, and the total cost of the channel would require 50 gold, which was a big expense.

The waterwheel has started construction, the channel part is divided into several sections and started at the same time, Lu Cheng looked at the time, there are less than 5 minutes before the expiration of the 3-hour auction of the pasta restaurant, open the exchange and see, the price has reached 203 gold coins, and no one has offered a higher price for a while, presumably it has reached the limit price that everyone can afford, Lu Cheng looked at the more than 300 gold coins in his pocket, and waited until the last minute to bid 210 gold coins, and successfully grabbed the drawings.

"Ding~ You paid 231 gold coins and successfully bid for the special economic building drawing [pasta restaurant drawing] has been sent to your warehouse."

"Ding~ You used the special economic building blueprint [Spaghetti Restaurant Blueprint], you can build the building in your territory."

Lu Cheng opened the construction option in the center of the camp, and the construction cost was not very high, only about 5 gold coins for materials, and the construction period was also very short, it could be completed in just 2 hours.

"Ding~ Dear player, the pasta restaurant in your "Sword Bearer" camp has been built, and the prosperity is +500. ”

"Ding~ Dear player, you are the first player to build a special economic building, you get honor points +500 and world reputation +2."

"Ding~ Dear players, the pasta restaurant is a special economic building that can be opened to citizens to provide food, the richer your citizens are, the more food they provide, and the higher the profits."

Lu Cheng is still the first player in the game to build a special economic building, and he can still make profits from the citizens?

The pasta restaurant needs a chef to operate, and Lu Cheng transferred a junior chef from the food workshop to the noodle restaurant.

"Your Lord!" Just then, Mike and his three little brothers also ran over.

"Mike, are you looking for me?" Lu Cheng asked.

"We heard that there is a pasta restaurant in the territory, and I'm tired of the smell of potatoes, so let's come and try it." Mike replied.

Lu Cheng built a restaurant on the front foot, and the guy Mike ran over on the back foot, seeing that the monkey was really suffocated. This game has a hunger value setting.,Citizens have to eat to replenish their strength after a while.,If you don't eat for a long time, you'll be weak or even die.,And the food provided to the citizens in the territory is mainly potatoes.,Eating only one kind of food for a long time is sure to make people tired.。

"Why don't we go in together?" Lu Cheng thought it was quite novel, so he invited Mike into the restaurant together.

"It's an honor." Mike hurriedly agreed.

Lu Cheng was the first to walk into the restaurant, the construction cost of the restaurant is not high, but the interior decoration is not bad, with bricks and wood as the main materials, after entering the door, you can see rows of wooden tables and neatly placed chairs, but why is the one standing at the door not the junior chef?

"Hello lord." The waiter at the door saw that it was the lord who came in, and immediately greeted him.

"Okay, by the way, what about the junior chef you just transferred here?" Lu Cheng wondered.

The waiter replied, "My lord, the chef is preparing it in the back kitchen." ”

"Oh, got it, are you a chef too?"

"Your Excellency may not know that although the main staff of the restaurant is the cook, the daily operation of the restaurant requires other personnel, such as waiters, cleaners, and cooks, etc., who also need to be paid, and their salaries are included in the cost of building maintenance," Mike explained. ”

Lu Cheng nodded, he was busy with the construction of the territory before, but he never paid attention to these details, which can be regarded as a long insight.

Lu Cheng and his entourage of five people found a table to sit down, and Lu Cheng asked the waiter, "What's your name?" How much does it cost to work in a restaurant? ”

"My lord, I am the eldest in the family, my name is Xin Yi, and my salary for working in a restaurant is 10 copper coins a day." The waiter replied.

"The salary is so small?" Lu Cheng was very surprised, it was only 10 copper coins a day, which means that it was less than half a copper coin per hour.

Mike knew that Lu Cheng didn't know the living conditions of the citizens in his territory, so he explained: "He's okay, the vast majority of the citizens in your territory can only exchange their jobs for food every day, and they don't have an income of a single copper, although they won't starve to death, but they can only maintain basic living needs." ”

"So the reason why you said last time that the citizens were not satisfied was also there, right?" Lu Cheng suddenly realized.

Mike nodded: "Yes, and the citizens also have a lot of complaints about the current work assignment, for example, a young man who is in the same block as me would prefer to learn to be a blacksmith, and you arrange for him to go to the forest to cut timber in the west, he is very unhappy. ”

"And is he a junior blacksmith?" Lu Cheng asked.

"No, but he's strong, and he does have some foundation, lord, not every unskilled citizen is the same, they also have their own strengths, if they are placed in the right positions, they may be able to become new skilled citizens through learning." Mike explained.

"Can citizens still learn skills?" Lu Cheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, Lord Lord, for example, the apprentices who followed Shamer in your blacksmith shop, when I went to maintain the equipment last time, I found that the technical level of 2 of them is no worse than that of the junior blacksmith, I believe that it will not be long before you will add 2 junior blacksmiths." Mike revealed.

Lu Cheng gained a lot after listening to Mike's explanation, and only cared about finding a way to brush more citizens to increase the number of skilled citizens, but he didn't know that he could still get it through learning and training, but fortunately, it was not too late to know, Lu Cheng decided to spend more time to understand the details of the territory in the future.

"Lord, you see we've been sitting for so long, why don't you eat something first?" Mike suggested a little embarrassed.

There are not many varieties of food in the restaurant, Lu Cheng asked the waiter Xin Yi, new dishes need to be obtained by purchasing recipes or research and development, and the chef's level must be enough to make them. At the moment, the most expensive thing is beef and vegetable noodles, a 5 copper coin, which is still quite cheap, of course, this is only for Lu Cheng, the vast majority of citizens in the territory are penniless, and there is no money to enjoy food. Lu Cheng ordered 9 servings of beef and vegetable ramen, and Mike and 4 friends took two portions each because of the large amount of food.

"Mike, the young man you just said aspiring to be a blacksmith helped me to take it to the blacksmith's shop, let Shamer see it, and if he really has talent, let him learn blacksmithing." After eating noodles, Lu Cheng said.

"Okay, I thanked the lord for him first, and I hope he can contribute more to the lord's cause." Mike replied.

Lu Cheng nodded, more skilled citizens mean higher income, from Mike's description just now, he found a good way to improve citizen satisfaction, that is, to speed up the refresh speed of citizens: "In addition, I have decided to set a fixed salary and commission model for all jobs in the territory. ”

"Ah, my lord, are you serious? Reforming the distribution of territory means investing more money. Mike put down his fork and looked at Lu Cheng seriously.

"Of course it's serious, it will be announced in the form of a decree later, you eat slowly, I'll study it first, in order to thank you for the important information, this time your meal will be waived."

Lu Cheng and Mike returned to the camp center after saying hello, and then opened the system operation page to find out if there were any relevant settings, but there was no prompt for any related operations on the page, but there was an online consultation function in the game.

"Ding~ Dear player, what kind of information do you need to consult?" The system online consultation is in voice mode.

So Lu Chengcheng said his thoughts again, because it involved modifying the initial distribution model, so the system asked more about the details, and it took a full hour for Lu Cheng to answer all the questions clearly.

"Ding~ Dear player, your application has been uploaded to the system, please wait."

Five minutes later.

"Ding~ Dear players, considering the balance of the game, your application was not approved, after system modifications, a new set of citizen income distribution model has been recommended to you, please check in your camp center for details."

I didn't expect it to pass, but it is also reasonable, after all, players are modern people, if everyone uses the model of modern society in the era of the game, this game will not be able to play, but I didn't expect the system to provide another set of modified distribution models very humanely, Lu Cheng hurriedly opened it and looked at it carefully.

In the new model, Lu Cheng needs to build an acquisition house that does not increase prosperity, and the citizens in the territory can sell the collected resources to the acquisition house, and the selling price is set by the system according to the exchange market as a reference to set the upper and lower limits, in addition, the citizens can freely choose their jobs, if Lu Cheng wants to arrange citizens to engage in other jobs, he needs to pay the expropriated citizens more than the average salary within 3 days. When citizens are trained to become military units such as militias, their income must not be lower than the average salary of citizens. The income of skilled citizens includes basic salary and commission, the basic salary of primary skills shall not be lower than the average salary of citizens, the intermediate level shall not be less than 2 times the average salary of citizens, and the senior level shall not be less than 4 times, and so on, and the commission ratio can be adjusted by the lord. In addition, the allocation model should not be changed back to the original allocation model for at least 30 days after it is adopted, and once the allocation model is reversed, it may cause unpredictable consequences.

The conditions are still relatively strict, if according to this model, the cost of Lu Cheng's input will increase a lot, for example, there are more than 200 citizens who cut wood, they only need to provide food now, and do not need to pay any remuneration, and once according to the new distribution model, Lu Cheng will continue to provide basic food and tools, but also have to buy the wood they obtained at the market price. Moreover, now that the timber in the exchange is very cheap, many citizens are likely not willing to continue cutting timber, which may lead to an imbalance of resources in the camp, and Lu Cheng needs to constantly buy the missing resources from the exchange, which will invisibly increase the workload of the lord.

However, after thinking about it, Lu Cheng still felt that it was necessary to try this model.

"Ding~ Dear player, you have modified the distribution mode of the territory."

"Ding~ Dear player, you are the first player to modify the basic settings, rewarding honor points +500 and world reputation +1."
