While Crescent Town currently has no shortage of tall and spacious buildings, there are still many deficiencies in other aspects.

For example, in terms of high-end luxury goods, the only thing that Lawson can get his hands on at present is a Bright Moon carriage given to him by the earl.

To receive distinguished guests, naturally use this Bright Moon carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage was very spacious, and it didn't feel crowded at all for four people.

After a while, Rosen, Morrow, and George Bernard Shaw got into a Bright Moon carriage and drove out of the Lord's Castle under the escort of a team of Silver Moon Rangers, and drove slowly down the spacious streets of the town.

It can be seen that the main street within the city walls has been solidified, and the houses on both sides of the street have been built, of which forty percent have already begun to open, and the rest are still being renovated.

As the carriage walked, Rosen introduced.

"This is the central crossway, which runs east-west, and in addition, there is a central vertical road that runs north-south."

"The two avenues lead to the town's gates, and all the shops that are directly facing customers will be concentrated on these two streets."

Lord Morrow looked at the shops on the side of the street and found that they were all spacious, bright, and atmospheric, and the width of the street was more than ten meters, enough to accommodate four carriages side by side.

He couldn't help but ask, "Will all the ground in the town be petrified?" ”

"Yes."

"When it rains, where does the water go?"

Lawson pointed to the free-standing petrified lid of the floor grate.

"Look at those covers, there are drainage pipes underneath, and rainwater will flow all the way down the pipes and directly to Yuexi downstream."

Lord Morrow looked at the ground, looked at it for a while, and said, "I found three kinds of lids, is there anything special?" ”

Rosen carefully introduced.

"The white round lid is a clean water cap, which comes from the domestic water drained from the upstream reservoir and is buried in a shallow layer to ensure cleanliness. The lid is added to facilitate the daily maintenance of the pipes. ”

Originally, it did not need to be covered, but there was no waterworks in these years, and although a sedimentation tank was set up upstream, the water was not particularly clean after all.

After a long time, the pipeline will still be blocked, so it must be maintained from time to time.

Moreau immediately said, "Will someone poison then?"

Rosen nodded: "I also thought of this, so I set up various poison detection instruments in various hubs and before entering the house."

"These poison detectors are very sensitive, and if they are poisonous, they will sound an alarm. And there are also specialized mages who keep an eye on this. ”

Lord Moro was relieved: "Master Lawson is really thoughtful."

Rosen continued.

"The black round closed is the sewage cover, which leads to the sewage pipe. To prevent contamination, the pipes are buried in the deepest part of the ground. ”

"And all these pipes lead to every household in the town, providing clean water and taking away all kinds of domestic sewage."

Mrs. Morrow immediately clapped her hands: "Ah~ That's a good idea, so that the town won't stink." ”

Lord Morrow considered the cost: "Then this road is not full of pipes, how long will it take to dig this?" ”

Just thinking about it makes his scalp blow up, and he feels like he's going to have to throw in a huge amount of gold crown to finish.

Rosen smiled: "It's natural to dig by manpower, but don't forget the spell, lord." ”

As he spoke, he looked at his chief apprentice, "What spell do you think you should use?" ”

George Bernard Shaw thought about it for a moment: "Mud technique, turning hard dirt into soft silt, and then using shaping, or having craftsmen scoop it with a spoon. ”

"Yes, that's it."

He looked at Lord Morrow: "Using this method, the cost and time of excavation can be reduced to one-twentieth of the original. Of course, this method requires the hiring of a lot of mages. ”

When Lord Morrow heard this, he spread his hands.

"That's why you can get so many mages. Mages who have enough prestige in the heights don't have this idea, and young mages who have this idea don't have this prestige. ”

Rosen smiled: "If the lord intends to transform his town, he can also directly hire these construction mages I have cultivated, and the price is not expensive." ”

Mrs. Moreau loved cleanliness and felt that her town was not clean, so she was very interested.

"How much exactly?"

This is a customer who asks about business, and Rosen naturally gives her a careful calculation.

"For a mage like this, the monthly gold only costs 5 to 20 crowns. If you employ 300 people, your town will be renovated in a month, and the cost will be six kilograms, even if you calculate the maximum of 20 crowns. ”

"Maybe it's not cheap, but after spending this money, you won't be afraid of stepping on dirt when you walk out."

So where does Lawson's income come from?

Naturally, it came from a civilian mage.

Because the other party wants to use the petrified construction technique, he has to buy his petrified Mithril staff, which costs 10 crowns and can be used for about half a year after 300 uses.

Rosen carefully calculated that he could use this method to share about one-third to one-fifth of the construction income of the civilian mage, and basically did not take the risk.

Madame Moreau was immediately very impressed, after all, after saving the large cost of building a new castle, their family could easily come up with six kilograms of money.

As soon as Lord Morrow saw his wife's expression, he knew that the money had been spent, shrugged his shoulders, and pointed to a very large building in the distance.

"That's?"

"The Crescent Inn, built by petrification, has 5 floors and 400 rooms, just for the official mages who come to me to take classes."

Mrs. Morrow immediately asked, "I see that a lot of people came just now, are they all here to take your current math class?" ”

Lawson nodded.

At this time, George Bernard Shaw on the side said: "It is said that La Falella College is also planning to open a flow number course, but we have not yet found a suitable flow number instructor. ”

Mrs. Morrow laughed, "Son, now you know how lucky you are, right?" ”

George Bernard Shaw nodded repeatedly: "Before I came back, Mr. Alder said that I was very talented and persuaded me to stay in school, but as soon as I said the name of the tutor, he immediately stopped talking. ”

Lord Morrow was naturally very happy, but he was more interested in Rosen's income, so it was naturally not easy to ask directly, so he secretly estimated in his heart.

He had heard that Rosen's class was five crowns, and that there were more than 300 full-fledged teachers just now, and that class was 1,500 crowns.

Considering that Lawson must have given a lot of lectures a year, and it was also expected that it would only increase in the number of mages who came to listen to the lectures.

Then he earns a huge amount of money just by lecturing a year.

At this point, he was envious in his heart, but he also knew very well that this was money that he would never earn.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It's good to have knowledge~ After sitting in class and talking for a while, a large amount of money will be credited to the account." ”

His eldest son and second son are both samurai, and now they feel that they have not been trained well.

"Luckily, I still have a young son."

At this time, the carriage leaned slightly, but it drove up the high walls around the town along a large ramp.

The wall is 15 meters high, 15 meters at the bottom, and 10 meters wide at the top, which is much more magnificent than the walls of Silvermoon Castle, and the carriage is also very smooth when driving on the wall.

Lord Moro was full of emotion: "Oh, with such a city wall guard, even a giant dragon may not be able to break through, right?" ”

Rosen smiled slightly: "The dragon is a legendary race, and this thing can't be stopped."

The undead birds are already hard to entangle, but the dragons are even harder.

In the ancient war records recorded in the temple, the golden god spent 200 years expelling the two-headed dragon king Laconde and his heirs.

Long-distance and close-range attacks, vertical and horizontal, all the tricks were used, which reduced the cost of expulsion to an acceptable range.

According to Lawson's analysis, if the front is tough, the strength of the Golden God Clan and the Dragon Clan is estimated to be open, and they can win, but they will be crippled after the fight, and they will be picked by a third party.

After the carriage drove for a while, Rosen said, "The battlements are too high, you can't really see it in the carriage, let's get out of the carriage and take a walk?" ”

"Gladly."

Several people got out of the car and walked along the spacious city walls.

Soon, the group stopped at the inner city wall and looked down at the scenery of the entire town from above.

Although the town is not yet fully completed, except for the two sides of the main road, which is horizontal and vertical, the rear is still under construction, but you can already see the general appearance of the town.

Mrs. Moreau's face was full of emotion: "I can feel that the completely completed Crescent Town must be an extremely beautiful place. ”

Lord Morrow also nodded: "I thought it would take at least three or four years to get on the right track, but I didn't expect it to take only a month. ”

"Now it seems that my knowledge is far behind the times."

The group went to the outer city wall and looked at the scenery outside the town.

Just outside the town is an endless field of farmland, where countless farmers are diligently cultivating their land.

From a distance, a large number of fertile fields have already taken shape.

On the other side, by the Yuexi River, another group of people gathered there.

George Bernard Shaw asked curiously, "Mentor, what are you doing there?" ”

Rosen smiled and explained: "The Crescent Reservoir is being built, and a canal is being dug to divert water. If you don't have water, you can't grow food. ”

Lord Morrow looked at it for a while, made a rough estimate, and said, "I have done an understanding of the terrain of Crescent Town, and if I really want to reclaim all of them, it is estimated that about 10,000 Labang fields can be cultivated outside the town. ”

Rosen nodded in agreement: "The lord's estimate is very accurate, roughly so much, but it must not be fully mined." ”

George Bernard Shaw asked curiously, "Why don't you leave it uncultivated?" ”

His father gave the answer: "Because there is no one." ”

Lawson nodded: "There are too few people in Crescent Town, less than 30,000 at present. ”

Because of the turmoil, the poor health is basically over, so the average number of people in a household is less than four, and the total is 8,000 households, and it is already the limit for a household to open five rams, and the sum is almost only more than 800 Labang.

In fact, the area of Xinyue Town is considered large among the six towns in Huangshui, but because of its remote location and a large amount of woodland before, the population has not been able to rise.

Now, if you manage it well and live a few generations, it is estimated that it will rise to more than 100,000 and become a highland town.

Of course, Rosen is not prepared to wait for generations, he has a way of attracting the population.

But these can't be said explicitly, so as not to touch the psychological red line of Lord Morrow.

After all, every lord is sensitive to the number of their lords and very much does not want the freedmen to move out of their territory.

Lord Moro looked at it for a while, his face full of emotion.

"Mage Lawson, with a lord like you, it is only a matter of time before Crescent Town prospers. The northern barrier of the highlands is considered solid. ”

Speaking of the northern barrier, he asked, "What about the fortress?"

Lawson smiled: "Master Hal has already taken a group of construction mages and about 2,000 townspeople to the north, and is currently building a city wall on the top of the Falling Snow Mountains, which is expected to be completed in half a year." ”

"The walls of the mountain?"

"Yes, 30 meters high, 20 meters wide, and 100 miles long, block all the northern part of Crescent Town, and set up a beacon tower. Wherever it is attacked, it will be discovered immediately. ”

"At that time, the troops stationed near the fortress will be able to ride fast horses and gallop along the road at the top of the city wall, ensuring that support will be in place within an hour."

Lord Morrow was blindfolded when he heard this.

"It's ....... With such a high wall, a fool would attack it, right? ”

"What if there are really fools? Ice dwarves are also very good at digging, which must be carefully guarded against. ”

"Well, that's a possibility. But the presence of this wall is enough to make me feel at ease. ”

He was worried about his son's safety before, but now it seems that his son is safer to stay in Crescent Town than in his own Fanggu Town.

It is estimated that the dragon is really coming, and it can be blocked for a while, right?

Of course, this has to be a flightless Earth Walking Dragon.

After that, the group visited the meeting again, and then got on the carriage of the moon again and returned to the castle of the city lord.

In the carriage, Lord Morrow got down to business.

"Vobos is somewhat aware of the change in the situation, and has been visiting the major highland families frequently lately."

"I, my father-in-law, the Lafontes, the Sano, even Dmitritán, he visited."

"He promised great benefits, saying that as long as he supported him, he would change the agreement of the great lords and distribute more benefits to the major barons."

Rosen also probably knew about this, and it was Percy who reported it, but he didn't know the specific details.

Seeing Moreau say this at this time, he felt that Fupos was like a trapped wolf, and he was simply destroying the foundation of the Omisia family.

Rosen said softly: "I'll be honest, the interests of the highlands are so small, and there is no future at all by changing the agreement." ”

"You have to go out to really make a lot of money."

Moreover, the agreement of the great lords, which has been implemented for more than 700 years, has long formed a solid pattern of interest distribution, how can it be so easy to change?

Even if it is changed, it doesn't make much sense, it's just that I earned 20,000 yuan before, and now it has become 25,000.

Moreau nodded: "I think the same way, and I can also feel that Fubos's vision is still completely stuck in the old era. With such a lord, there is absolutely no future. ”

He tried his best to keep up with the changes of the times, otherwise he would not have fully supported his sister's alchemy.

Rosen was not worried about him jumping back, so he asked, "What does old Mr. Dumont say?" ”

Moreau laughed, "My father-in-law is a merchant and a lord. He covets the great business of the East. Who will be tempted by this benefit. ”

Rosen understood.

With the rapid development of the times, the aristocratic lords became more and more disdainful of the income from the land, and began to gradually turn from the land aristocracy to the business aristocracy, and even the capital aristocracy.

He was completely relieved, and asked about the potion workshop again.

Moreau said, "In another month, in a month, the workshop will be built." ”

The workshop was built in Fanggu Town and was built by Vivian remotely. There is no way to do this, she doesn't dare to leave Crescent Town now, for fear that Feren will come to get her.

Rosen said, "Then I'll book a 200-ton first." ”

150 kroner per ton, 200 kroner is a super large order of 30,000 kroner.

Morrow raised his eyebrows: "Master Lawson, it seems that you have made a lot of money recently." ”

Rosen laughed: "It's a lot, but it's interesting to have money for everyone to earn together, isn't it?"

"That's right~ hahaha."

Morrow laughed too, and the last vestiges of his worries about the Apothecary Workshop dissipated completely.

Because even if the potion doesn't sell well in the future, there will still be Lawson in the end.

When he returned to the courtyard of the lord's castle, he had just gotten out of the carriage when he found two more groups of people looking for him.

A batch of alchemy equipment workshop "Precision Balances" from Shattered Leaf City should have shipped the ordered alchemy laboratory equipment.

The other group was from Winterfell, from La Falea, to be exact.

Lord Moro said, "Master Rosen, you can go and get busy." My territory was also busy, so my wife and I went back. ”

Rosen had no choice but to confess, and after hurriedly sending off Mr. and Mrs. Morrow, he took the young George Bernard Shaw to the backyard and handed it over to his wife to settle him in.

He hurriedly found Gendeloni, who was in charge of the alchemy equipment.

He went to receive the emissary from the college of La Falea.
