This method can be summed up in one sentence.

The cliff is too high? It's easy, just fill it in!

The fifty-meter-high cliff is a moat that most ordinary people on the Sainz continent can't jump over, so whether it is the Ruerson Kingdom or the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, when they first heard that Xu Yi actually wanted to build a road from here to the Ruerson Kingdom, they thought he was crazy at all.

But for Xu Yi, on the technologically advanced earth, a 50-meter-high cliff is not an intractable difficulty at all.

On Earth, there are many ways to solve this problem, but limited to the current level of technology on the Sainz continent, Xu Yi finally chose the most simple and crude method, which is to fill this cliff.

Specifically, a large amount of stone and earth was used to increase the lower side of the Duchy of Stantin, and a roadbed that was large enough to connect the Ruerson Kingdom on the other side of the cliff was filled.

Of course, it is impossible to say that it is completely filled, and all Xu Yi asks for is to fill in an uphill roadbed that can be used to pave the road.

Considering the height of the cliff and the slope of the road, it is estimated that the length of the roadbed will be 5 kilometers long, and with the minimum width of 50 meters, the amount of stone and earthwork required will be astronomical.

If it is based on the previous level of science and technology on the Sainz continent, whether it is excavating or transporting stones and earthwork, it can only be completely manpowered, and if you want to complete such a huge project, at least tens of thousands of migrant workers will be mobilized, and it will take several years or even more than ten years to complete.

Such a quantity of work. In addition to the embodiment of the will of the state. There is simply no possibility for the rest.

And now with the help of the engineering magic machinery developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It's a much simpler project.

After careful exploration and calculation by the Amritra Chamber of Commerce, it is finally estimated that as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can provide enough large and medium-sized magic excavators and large magic trucks, the manpower required for this huge project will not exceed 3,000 and it will not take more than two years.

If it is a good thing, it is very likely that the entire Silu Highway will be completely completed within five years.

However, although the manpower and engineering time required have been greatly reduced, the investment will not be reduced much.

According to estimates, the Slu Highway will definitely be the most expensive road to be built by the Amritri Chamber of Commerce to date.

Among them, the road from Xu Yi's private territory to the border between the two countries is more than 140 kilometers long. It is expected to invest 300,000 gold coins.

The section from the border to the city of Kulaka is more than 560 kilometers long, and it is estimated that 1.1 million gold coins will be invested.

Both sections of the road are paved according to the standard of ordinary road construction, and the estimated cost is also according to this standard.

However, from filling in the roadbed to finally reaching the top of the cliff, the total length of the section into the Ruerson Kingdom is only about five kilometers, and the estimated cost may exceed a staggering 800,000 gold coins.

Combined, the total investment of this Silu Highway is 700 kilometers long, but it will exceed 2 million gold coins, and may even reach 2.5 million gold coins.

Although the Ruerson Kingdom was to be responsible for the investment in the section of the road from the Ruerson Kingdom, President Cruise still felt that the highway was too expensive to build. Some are not very cost-effective.

In his opinion, the new flying business will not spend such a high price to build such a road. It would be better to simply go around in a circle, at most spending an extra day and a small amount of freight, which is far less economical than building this road.

However, Xu Yi didn't feel much about this price.

On the earth, the construction of a highway is carried out according to the cost of tens of millions of yuan or even hundreds of millions of yuan per kilometer, and the average cost of each kilometer of highway here is not even 10,000 gold coins, which is undoubtedly much cheaper.

Although there are reasons such as the extremely cheap artificial materials of the Sainz continent, and the quality of the roads built is far from comparable to the highways on the earth, this price still makes Xu Yi feel completely acceptable.

The reason why he insisted on investing a lot of money and overcoming such difficulties to build this road was precisely because Xu did not want to use the method that President Cruise had said.

It is possible to take a detour to transport goods to the Kingdom of Ruersun, but if you want to make a detour, you must pass through the territory of the Kingdom of Lampari.

Not to mention that there must be a certain amount of customs duties to enter and exit the Lampari Kingdom, if the Lampari Kingdom even prohibits the goods of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from passing by one day, then it will be too late for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to find a solution.

After all, the New Flyers are currently actively developing large magic ships for deep-sea ocean voyages, and the construction of the Sru Highway is all aimed at making it easier and faster to transport the goods produced by the New Flyers to other parts of the continent.

Although the Principality of Stantin has a pleasant climate, which is very suitable for living and can not be disturbed too much, the terrain here is really a bit limited, and if you don't find a way to solve this problem in advance, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will only have a dead end.

Of course, these issues were not within the scope of Elder Lisanya's consideration, and she had come to meet Xu Yi this time, mainly because the subgrade filling project of the Silu Highway happened to pass through the Moonshadow Forest, where the Moonshadow tribe was located.

Filling in the ground and raising the roadbed will of course affect the topography of the Moon Shadow Forest on a large scale, so Xu must also get the support of the Moon Shadow clan in advance.

Previously, Xu Yi proposed the construction of this project to Elder Lisanya and asked for cooperation, but obtained Elder Lissanya's preliminary consent.

This time, Elder Lisanya came and didn't show any unusual expression, and Xu Yi naturally thought that she had decided to cooperate.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Yi's question, Elder Lisanya nodded and said, "Well, it's no problem to cooperate. After all, if we can go straight to the kingdom of Ruersun, it will also be good for our tribe. ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly and waited for the following.

Elder Lisanya paused and said, "But...... President Xu, I must make a few requests. ”

"Please. ”

"First of all, building this road would cause a lot of damage to the Moonshadow Forest. Therefore, it will have a certain impact on the lives of our people. President Hsu. You should compensate our tribe with some compensation. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.

Who said that the elves were so proud that they disdained to be as calculating as humans?

"Of course. It's just that I don't know how much gold you think we will compensate you to be satisfied?" Xu Yixiao asked.

"Nope. Pure gold doesn't mean much to us, and we're not short of it right now. Elder Lisanya shook his head. "Oh, then what compensation do you need?" Xu Yi was slightly surprised.

"We need some practical help. For example, because there is not enough water in the Moon Shadow Forest, it is always very difficult for our people to use water. President Xu, I heard Elucia say that your first contact with their Nightsong tribe was to help them solve the water source problem, so can you help our tribe solve this problem as well?"

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: "Although this needs to be done after a field trip to know the exact answer." But it shouldn't be a problem. For example, with the ability of the siege machinery that our Chamber of Commerce is currently developing, it is completely possible to extract a large amount of groundwater from the Moon Shadow Forest for your use. I can even build a comprehensive automatic water supply system for your tribe, so that each of you can use clean water without leaving your home. ”

"Really?" said Elder Lisanya's face with surprise. "There's such a convenient system? That's great! President Xu, I'm going to order such a system from you right now. It's no problem for me to pay extra. ”

Seeing the excitement in Elder Lisanya's application, Xu was also a little puzzled.

Does every elven tribe face a water problem?

Whether it was the Night Song Clan or the Moon Shadow Clan, the first problem he asked him to help solve was actually this problem.

Regarding this fully automatic water supply system, Xu Ye has actually started a small scale of facts on his private territory.

For example, a magic pump has been placed under his manor, which is continuously pumping groundwater into a new water tower in the manor, and then through the water tower into various pipes. For all needed rooms.

The automatic water supply system has been developed for less than two months and is still in the experimental stage. Once the test is determined to be feasible, it will be rolled out to the entire territory.

Xu Yi's goal is to provide clean tap water to every household in the territory in the first half of next year.

"What about anything other than the water problem?"

"Aside from the water issue, it's really not too important. ”

Elder Lisanya smiled and made a few more requests, which were really not too important, just hoping that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would be able to provide more convenience to the Moon Shadow Clan.

For example, Elder Lisanya wants the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop new fertilizer processing machinery for the Lunaris Clan's fertilizer processing plants, so as to improve the efficiency and output of the fertilizer processing plants.

For example, the Moon Shadow tribe hopes to build a small elven town outside the Moon Shadow Forest in imitation of a human town, and hopes that Xu Ye can come forward to negotiate with Grand Duke Stanten and Lord Weilun to obtain their approval.

For example, Elder Lisanya wants the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to tailor a special magic car for her according to her request......

......

After listening to Elder Lisanya's requests, Xu Yi's gaze at her changed greatly.

Compared to ordinary elves, this Lisanya elder is more like a shrewd human businessman, and he definitely did not give up any of his interests because of the so-called pride and reserve of the elves.

In the process of cooperating with the Moon Shadow Clan before, Xu Yi didn't have a deep understanding of this, but this time he had a deep experience.

Because Xu Yi had basically met all of her requests, Elder Lisanya seemed extremely satisfied, and after finalizing these compensations, she smiled and nodded.

"Very good, President Xu is indeed the best friend of our elves. As a noble elf, I must reciprocate your generosity. President Xu, in fact, I can provide a new solution for this roadbed enhancement project, which can save you at least 500,000 gold coins of investment and a lot of time, are you interested in this?"

Xu Yi was stunned.

Wouldn't it? What solution can save 500,000 gold coins at once? And save a lot of time?

It's a fantasy!

However, thinking of the usual mystery of the elf clan, Xu Yi's face immediately became cautious, and he sat up straight and stared at Elder Lisanya.

"I want to hear about it. (To be continued......)
