The new palace looks extremely magnificent from the planning map, and the land alone is encircled in a large area, because the big demon king has learned the methods of real estate developers in the 21st century, and knows that the enclosure should be done as soon as possible, and when the surrounding area prospers in the future, if you want to carry out demolition again, you have to pay the price twice. And the land is not afraid of too many circles -- when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty enclosed land to build Shanglin Yuan, one circle was the land of five counties, so much land of course could not be used to build a palace, but it was not wasted -- in the future, the Shanglin Garden, a royal garden, a royal garden, and so on, the Han Royal Mint, the Han Royal Junior Military Academy, the Han Royal Navy Base, and so on, were built one after another...... It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also transplanted rare plants here, such as successful loquats, pomegranates and glazed trees, as well as lychees that were planted repeatedly and died and finally died.

It can be seen that there is no need to have too much land, even if it doesn't seem to be of much use now, maybe it will be used in the future?

With the intention of hoarding land in the Middle Ages, Her Majesty the Queen swept the whole of a large marshland near Aronael into the palace area, and her abacus was also very good, the compensation for land acquisition was indispensable even in the Han Dynasty, and the swamp was not so troublesome, and Neustria had not yet given birth to an environmental protection organization that dared to oppose the Great Demon King.

According to her plan, the entire marshland should be built into a vicissitudes of life, and the low-lying places should be dug deeper into an artificial lake - just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dug the Kunming Pond in the Shanglin Garden, which could not only be used for naval training. And you can also raise fish to sell - yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who made a fortune, took the fish produced in the Kunming Pond every year except for the ancestors to the Chang'an bazaar to sell...... Luo Yi felt that he did not lag behind the ancients in the development of the royal army's sideline, and he also started the idea of fish farming. If you can raise pearls, so much the better.

The earth dug out of the lake is just enough to fill in the rest of the marshland, and maybe there is a little left over to pile up artificial hills. In this way, there will be a lot more flat land, and it will be possible to reduce the number of mosquitoes that ravage Alonael in the summer and the danger of plague that comes with it!

The latter is what the Queen really cares about.

Since the civil war in Neustria largely ceased, roads were gradually opened. The boom in commerce, the leap in health represented by obstetrics, the rise of handicrafts. This qiē caused the population of Aronael to swell dramatically, and the old town, which was located on higher ground and drier, gradually became unable to accommodate it, and there was a tendency to develop in the direction of marshland, that is, in the direction of marshland. The risk of a plague epidemic has increased. And this is Luo Yi, who lived in the era without antibiotics, could not be careless, and she still knew the history of the collapse of the once prosperous Athens due to the plague in the Peloponnesian War.

Because of the arduous and costly task of renovating the marshland, the design of the palace buildings was very shabby, basically following the idea of the National Cathedral - painting.

Although the stone palace is beautiful and magnificent, it is not suitable for living, and the second is that it costs money, and the third construction period is too long, so it is necessary to repair the stone. If Her Majesty's grandson lives long enough, he may live to the day he is completed, and the queen herself cannot count on it. As a result, there is only one "stone-like" tower in the entire palace building, which is expected to be made of the special sandstone brought by Tournest, and is essentially a painted goods.

Luo Yi has no complaints about this, she only hates that the palace can't be built immediately so that she can live a life of no longer sleeping in the office as soon as possible (in the spirit of preparing for a rainy day and the previous lesson, she planned eight large bedrooms for herself), and as far as her previous living experience is concerned, rammed earth buildings are warm in winter and cool in summer, which is more comfortable than stone and "imitation stone" to live in, of course, in terms of defense, it is worse, but she now has a feeling of being invincible around Neustria, so she only dug an escape passage under her bedroom and office, there are no more defenses.

This omission later made her suffer greatly, but now no one pointed it out, because each courtier was fighting for a budget for his own department, and increasing the defense of the queen's palace...... It does not belong to any department, and there is no minister who opposes it in this regard.

Because the queen herself does not have a few family members, the whole palace is actually like the old palace, the queen's living area only occupies a small part, most of them are also the offices of various government agencies, in addition to the stables, drinking water, kitchen and other supporting facilities is a direct road to the old town of Aronael.

It takes a lot of manpower to drain the swamps, but Aronael can draw human resources from all of Neustria, and farmers who used to have to worry about looting their own fields can now travel for days to find work without having to get permission from their masters or give them half of their wages. The commercial department of the government has devised many ways to re-drain their bulging purse, lest they see that they have savings and do not work.

In addition, women are now in many labor sectors, making the supply of labor more abundant. As happened in the textile factories in Shanghai before the liberation, some factories originally only recruited male workers, but later the boss found that female workers could do the same work for less wages than male workers, and did not drink alcohol to make trouble, so they began to replace male workers with female workers for the sake of profit and production.

This trend caused a small upheaval, and when Her Majesty received a strike, she was really frightened, and when she saw the reason for the strike, she was even more frightened, "What? It's not because of opposition to the boss! ”。 After the strike ended, the bosses, of course, did not give up the good way of increasing profits, but adopted a more moderate method, whenever a male worker quit because of farm work or illness, he replaced him with a female worker, and gradually replaced all the male workers with female workers, and only retained some male workers where the weaving and other male workers had a natural advantage. However, the bosses' troubles did not end there, the female workers drank very little, and the movement for maternity leave continued to rise......

The male workers who were squeezed out of the workshop now work for the construction site of the Queen's palace, which can be regarded as reducing the unrest of society.

Next to this large construction site, which required a lot of strong labor, there were many vendors who came to do their business, including Lucy (formerly Miss Hatty) and her mother, Lady Hatty. (To be continued......)
