Chapter 241 Urban Planning
On the high ground east of the volcanic island, little Locke is leading more than a hundred slaves to dig a canal, yes, he has been promoted, after passing the test of measuring the land, little Locke's team is the most accurate in measuring and calculating the area of the land, and the information reported to Zina is also the most simple and clear, so there is no doubt that Xena promoted his position.
The surface of the volcanic island was full of silt made of volcanic ash, and the excavation of the silt was not a big task, and after knowing that the slaves who were involved in the excavation of the canal and accepted by the guò consul within the time limit would be exempted from a year's servitude, the slaves burst out with an astonishing enthusiasm for their labor.
Not to mention the reduced number of years of labor, the slaves who participated in the construction of the volcanic island were three meals a day, and each person also had a small piece of fish and meat, as well as seafood soup, which could be eaten every day, and meat, which was already a feast that the slaves did not dare to ask for before.
Even a steward like Little Locke couldn't believe that the lord would treat slaves so favorably, because his family was considered a rich peasant before he came to Volcanic Island, and he had never tried that Old Locke would provide meat at home every day.
"Here, the soil is to be tamped, the bottom of the canal is to be leveled, the lord has provided you with three meals a day, and each meal will feed you, so don't cheat and play tricks. "Little Locke inspects the canals under construction, and he wants to ensure the quality of the canals, and the consuls will send someone to inspect them.
In the distance, a ditch had been dug and another group of slaves were working on it, and Adès had set up a brick kiln in Molly's domain. Craftsmen who fired terracotta tiles, captured from the fiefdom nobility, were redeeming their freedom with their own hands there, and firing bricks and tiles from lignite was much more economical than with wood. As a devotee of the goddess of the forest, Adès is actively promoting lignite. Reduce the number of people going to the forest to cut firewood.
At the same time, there is also cement fired in the brick kiln, in the multiverse, cement has appeared early in the morning, the formula is very simple, gray stone and clay three to one, put it in a vertical kiln specializing in firing cement to calcinate, and grind the calcined semi-finished product into a fine powder, that is, cement.
The canals were lined with bricks so that the limited amount of fresh water could be transported to every part of the island. There will be no loss of fresh water due to leakage, and it is convenient to irrigate farmland, and Adès knows that even if the crater is full of water, it is a small lake with a diameter of no more than 500 meters, and it is far from enough to irrigate the farmland of the entire island.
After surveying, he and Yunni chose a relatively low-lying place near the northern part of the island, where they planned to dig another large lake. Fresh water is left from the crater and stored in the large lake north of Zài before flowing to various places.
Inside the harbor of the volcanic island, in the lobby of the wooden house. Adès's eyes wandered between the parchment in his hand and Winnie, and for a moment he spoke, "This...... Is this going to occupy all the squares in front of the cave?"
Yun Ni nodded seriously and said, "Originally, no one was allowed to go up to that square, and it was a few of us who could go up." Moreover, the area level of the square is large enough, so your city lord's mansion should not think about building a big castle outside. It would be enough to build a palace-like building on the square, and it would be convenient to supervise those who entered the cave. Kill two birds with one stone. ”
Adès thought about it, Yunni seemed to be right, there is a magic array under the square, including the stairs, if the citizens of the harbor can go up at will in the future, then if there are spies or something to destroy, it will be bad, so there must be a limit, since there is a limit, then according to Yunnie's plan, it seems reasonable to build a lord's mansion directly on the square.
Just when Adès was thinking about whether it would be appropriate to build a building on the square, Winnie continued: "Now I just set up a basic functional area in the port, and what the port really wants to build will be, I still need to find Nancy to introduce a real urban designer to design. ”
Hearing this, Adès hurriedly said to Yunni: "I have two requirements, one is that the city must be clean and hygienic, and the underground drainage ditches and public bathhouses and bathrooms must be complete.
The second problem is my own problem, I am a believer in the forest lady, so the city must have green requirements, preferably designed in the style of a forest garden, so that I don't feel too far away from the forest when I live here.
The designer can refer to the style of the elven city, remember, I am not talking about the construction of the house with reference to the elves, but the number of plants in the city with reference to them, and preferably more than them. ”
Yunni hurriedly took out her pen and wrote down the request made by Adès, and when Nancy contacted the city designer, she would submit Adès's request to the designer, and he must be asked to design the city according to the lord's philosophy.
It's not that Ades didn't think about building a castle elsewhere on the volcanic island, but the volcanic island is such a big place, there is no need at all, and no matter where it is on the volcanic island, the defense is not as good as in the square, where there is a magic array, and he is not afraid of others attacking at all.
The Ranger and the Wizard sat in the hall and continued to discuss the design concept of the port, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps upstairs, and one of the maids left behind by Molly hurriedly walked in and said to Adès, "Your Excellency, Miss Mia is awake!!"
Ades stood up, and several weeks had passed, and Mia was asleep for a while, although there was no abnormality in her body, but she had been lying for weeks without eating or drinking, and it would be a lie to say that she was not worried.
Ades signaled to Yunni, and then ran upstairs in a hurry, Yunni also looked surprised, packed up the paper that had just been recorded from the conversation with Ades, and followed him upstairs.
In the room, Ades just walked into the door, but found that Mia had already stood up and walked around the room, and when she saw Ades walking in, she hurriedly came over and shouted happily: "Young Master!"
Ades was frightened, he quickly took the little catwoman's hand and asked her, "Why don't you lie down?"
Mia shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm okay young master, the goddess converted the divine power I ignited into the energy to transform the body when she left, so my body didn't have anything to do with it, I didn't wake up before, it was the goddess who deliberately sealed my sea of consciousness, because it would be very uncomfortable when the body was transformed." ”
Adès said suspiciously, "Really, you didn't lie to me?"
