Chapter 410: Food and Transportation
The black earth continued to retreat rapidly under him, and every time the fat dragon Xiao Hei vibrated his wings, he would fly out of the distance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even though it was the height of summer, when everything was at its most luxuriant, the barren land of the Blackstone Wasteland was still more black and gravel at a glance.
However, this does not affect the love for this land in the heart of the little dwarf Lord Modo, because this is the plate of His Royal Highness Prince Modo, and this is where his family is.
All the way back along the Doma River, the little dwarf was satisfied with the progress of the project, and it seemed that the cheap brother-in-law was also out of his strength, and according to the report, he divided the whole section of the river into several small sections.
Then each small section was arranged with a special person in charge, and a detailed schedule requirements for the construction period were promulgated.
In the case of ensuring quality, there are rewards for those who complete the project ahead of schedule or on time, and heavy penalties for failure to complete it; even if most of the people in charge of these sections are the aristocratic young men who came from the Beast King City, in the face of the progress and quality of the project, the cheap uncle simply does not talk about any feelings.
With the support of His Royal Highness the little dwarf prince, who can be said to be hot in the Orc Empire, the cheap uncle can go sideways, but at least in this major project, there will be no scruples.
After severely punishing the children of several old noble families, not only did he not receive any retaliation, but the children of the nobles who failed to complete the project were severely reprimanded by the family; at this time, even fools could see that no one dared to do anything about the project of the next emperor.
After that, all the noble children, with the assistance of elite personnel sent by their respective families, managed their respective sections very well, both in terms of the progress of the project and the quality of the project......
Therefore, even when Moduo was rushing overnight, he could see many sections below, and a large number of laborers worked overnight with torches; after all, with the weather conditions of the Black Stone Wilderness, there were nine months of construction time every year, which was blessed by the great god of war.
According to the current progress, in less than five years, the major project in this plan, which originally took more than ten years, may be completed, and then those inland river ships made by Gem Island will be able to sail on the Doma River, basically solving the most headache transportation problem of the Orc Empire.
Of course, under this gratifying progress, there is a huge input of labor, as well as the materials and gold coins that continue to flow out every day like the Doma River.
It's easy to say that the labor force has nothing else, but the orcs who can sell their death force for stuttering are bitter, not to mention that the steel collar has a lot of wages in addition to food and shelter, this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing is a brain-breaking job for the orcs.
Not to mention that the little dwarf only needs a million laborers, but if this number is doubled several times, the Lion Emperor and the upper echelons of the empire can easily pull it out.
It's easy to talk about gold coins, and even if you put it mildly, His Royal Highness Prince Modo, the little dwarf, is now a little unclear about which number of his gold coins are more.
This is mainly because the trade income of the territory and the gold coins produced every day are a huge number, which also means that the wealth of Lord Modo is always refreshing the highest record.
According to the laws of the Orc Empire, the little dwarf who officially became His Royal Highness the Prince was given the privilege of having the right to mint and issue gold coins with the head of his handsome little dwarf.
Mo Duo didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but before going to sea, he casually explained to the management committee of the underworld, and then the management committee headed by old Garfield gave the little dwarf a surprise or a fright.
They simply collected the gold ore that had been mined by mining other ores near the previous mining areas, and obtained gold ore that could not be refined for ten years.
Then they put in a labor force of 200,000 people to refine and process the ore, and in only half a year now, they have minted a terrifying amount of gold coins.
The reason why the amount is terrifying is that these natives of the underground world, who have been throwing gold mines as garbage before, do not take the minted gold coins seriously at all, and they do not store the gold coins they have minted properly.
Instead, they were piled up on top of each other, and by the time the members of the management committee remembered it and reported it to the confidential office, the gold coins with the heads of small gnomes were said to have filled a small valley......
So at present, what bothers the fox financial officers of the Iron Collar is not that they don't have money in hand, but that they can't spend it a little too much; at this time, land transportation has basically reached its limit, too many caravans, and sometimes there are traffic jams on the main road.
At present, even the farms near the Iron City, with the help of the druids, have created a miracle that can feed millions of people, but with the needs of the underground world and the construction site of the Doma River, there is a shortage of food for more than 10 million people every year.
Such a large food shortage, if it was to rely on a convoy and transport such a long distance on the road, then it would be a joke; the steel collar really didn't mind the consumption on the road, and the high price after it was in place, but it was impossible to achieve all the land transportation capacity of several nearby human empires.
The only way to solve this situation is to wait until the Doma River is navigable, after all, it is the capacity of a small cargo ship, and it is estimated that it can take hundreds of large trucks to load.
Between the other two modes of transportation, the loss on the road is simply very different.
Another way to alleviate this is the horse-drawn carriages, which are a luxury mode of transport, which has already begun to lay railroad tracks.
This project is not as huge as the dredging of the Doma River, but it is also an astonishingly large project, and although the production of steel is sufficient with the addition of a large underground world, the current rate of production of rails is far from keeping up with the speed of laying.
According to the most optimistic estimates, the two-lane track can be laid in three years, and the capacity for land transportation can be increased by at least five times.
Just like that, while flying, through the Master Crystal, remote control the office of the Swan Clan's housekeeper, the Black Rock City on the ground that looked particularly dilapidated appeared in front of him.
"Blackie, go straight to the Highland Forest Tree of Life. Modo commanded to the fat dragon Xiaohei.
Then the fat dragon adjusted its direction slightly, passing over the sky outside the Black Rock City, and in the governor's palace in the city, the little white-faced Dorant looked at the black dragon in the distance and was shocked in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision that he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.
