High-end carpets, mattresses, and bedding began to be purchased in large quantities by Laura, and the town continued to develop rapidly.

With the Winter Fortress with Fort Glamorgan as the core taking shape, the transportation plan for the interior of the town has been formalized.

Four main roads that run in different directions will end at the intersection of the Winter Fortress.

Unlike the original plan drawn up by David, the intersection of the main roads in the west, east, and south directions was set in the square in front of the south gate of the Winter Fortress.

This is due to the fact that the south gate of the Winter Fortress is the only main gate to enter the city center and Fort Glamorgan, and the three main roads converge here, making it easy for those who come to Winter Town to find the right gate.

"Once these roads are planned, we can start building the craftsmen's own houses."

David looked at the drawings in front of him and chatted with Van Cleef about the next construction plan.

"You've been looking forward to this day for a long time, right?"

Van Cleef smiled heartily, the first time David had seen it on the face of the former leader of the Masons' Guild and founder of the Defia Brotherhood since arriving in Wintertown.

It was a relieved smile, and it seemed that he had waited for this day for a long time.

"Everyone will be very happy to hear this."

During this year, the craftsmen have always maintained a high intensity of work, although they do not have to worry about food and clothing here in Winter Town, and they can also decide where to live relatively freely: if they do not want to live in a large wooden house together, they can also build a small house by themselves, and live alone with their wife and children or close friends.

But there was no pay, and everyone worked so hard because of the "bright future" that David had promised before.

If this state continues for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be no problems, but fortunately, David has divided the fields for the craftsmen before.

These united craftsmen did not choose to take leave to cultivate the land alone, but Van Cleef deployed manpower to be responsible for reclaiming the farmland.

In order to maximize the interests of the craftsmen, Van Cleef mobilized almost all the people in the team who knew how to cultivate the farmland, and even some women who were family members picked up farm tools and went into battle.

The result was gratifying, although the current lord of Winter Town, Lord Glamorgan, did not provide everyone with wages, but the lord gave everyone the land.

According to the work efficiency of the reclamation team, after the completion of Winter Town, each of them can get a lot of land, even if they don't know how to farm, they can also hire farmers to help them farm, and become a small landlord with peace of mind.

Now, the new home for the lord has been completed, followed by the municipal building and some public facilities in Winter Town, followed by everyone's own residence.

By Winter's current standards, their new home will no longer be the humble wooden hut they used to have, but a sturdier hybrid structure: wood, masonry, concrete, and steel will all be used.

Judging from the design drawings, these houses are not only beautiful in appearance, but also extremely practical. In addition, each house will be connected to water, electricity and heating, and it will be very comfortable to live in.

In terms of choosing the type of house, almost everyone chooses the design of a two-story or three-story small building, and some people want a street-facing shop and housing design.

It won't be long before these small buildings become the main buildings in Wintertown.

"According to the plan, the first housing will be concentrated around the farmland area, as well as in the residential area to the southeast of the fortress."

David's idea was that the farmland was located in the southwest and southeast and was the main residential area.

Although the plan is like this, it is impossible to have all residential buildings in the residential area, there will definitely be shops, restaurants, etc.; There are also various shops on the farmland, especially those selling various agricultural supplies.

So this plan is just a simple and rough distribution, like now, when everyone has to divide the house, you know where to build the house.

Most of the craftsmen chose their new homes in the southeast residential area, which is relatively close to the two main roads in the east and south.

Minority

The division chose the agricultural area, perhaps to be closer to their own fields;

Many of these people have already agreed with several partners to cultivate their farms together, with one of them in charge of it and the others doing other work.

"Once everyone has a house, Winter Town will end this centralized management state." David didn't deliberately hide this news, and even deliberately released some news.

Eva, Jonah, and Van Cleef all contributed to this matter, and by the way, they helped David receive a lot of feedback.

Although the farmers and artisans in the town are not too dissatisfied with the current unified management model, they do look forward to getting rid of the current situation as soon as possible.

When they heard the news, everyone was looking forward to it, and no one expressed concern.

"Have you thought about your next steps, the craftsmen under your command?"

"Some people want to be farmers with peace of mind, while others want to continue to be craftsmen." Although the town has completed a basic construction, everyone feels that with the strength of the town, it will continue to develop in the future, and there will be no shortage of people who come to settle down, and as craftsmen, they will definitely have no shortage of work to do.

"Well, when the capital work in Wintertown is over, I'll hire craftsmen to build some facilities, and you can count how many people are willing to take the job."

"My lord, what building do you want to continue building? Walls?" Van Cleef thought that the construction of the city wall might be more appropriate for the diggers.

Some craftsmen want to be comfortable small landlords, but they feel that with the diggers, the craftsmen may not have too much work to take in the future.

But David doesn't think so, the diggers are really powerful, but David needs them to build larger buildings such as power plants and waterworks. In ordinary houses, shops, etc., the digger is at most responsible for providing building materials and digging a foundation.

For specific construction work, craftsmen are more suitable, especially the interior details are more convenient for human craftsmen to do.

"No, it's about building hotels, churches, and more."

David pointed to the neighborhood he had planned, and it wasn't for nothing that he had chosen it to be a living quarter.

"I plan to continue to build more ordinary houses here, all kinds of houses can be built, even the basic furniture needs to be ready."

"My lord, did you build so many houses for the people who came to Winter Town in the future?"

There are not so many people in Winter Town at the moment, and Davy should have built so many residences in preparation for absorbing more people, and Van Cleef also knew the general situation on the northern plains.

Not long ago, his daughter, Vanessa Van Cleef, was recommended to David by herself, and she was instructed to go to several surrounding villages to find out the news.

"It's for the new civilians, but it won't be for nothing." David did want to absorb more people, but he wasn't prepared to give too many benefits to the newcomers.

Now the people in Winter Town can divide the fields and houses, but the ones who come back later will not have this benefit.

They didn't contribute to the construction of Winter Town, so naturally they were not qualified to take advantage of David. Although these houses have been built, the new residents cannot live in vain, and they have to pay. Z.br>

"Either you can buy a house as your new home. Either you can find a job in Winter Town and pay rent to rent a room."

Of course, David also took into account some practical situations, that is, many people who come to him may not be able to live happily if they are poor and white.

Therefore, the benevolent Lord Glamorgan will not watch these precious people be wasted like this, and as a lord, he will provide loans to these newcomers, so that they can have the basic security of living in Winter Town.

This loan is not only money and food, but also low-cost rental housing, agricultural tools, seeds, etc., which new farmers can use to cultivate the land and then repay the loan in installments until it is repaid.

As David spoke, he jumped from urban planning to the reception of future new residents, and Van Cleef pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and finally brought it up

"My lord, I think you need to assemble a suitable team to help you deal with the various internal affairs of Winter Town."

David, who realized that he had gone wrong, nodded slightly awkwardly, and he was also aware of the problem.

He had already decided on the choice: Elizabeth's father, Mr. Weatherby-Swan, was an excellent choice.

Weatherby Swan has managed Port Royal well, and as an interior officer, he is quite good, and hiring him as his own administrative officer is the most reliable choice at the moment.

Just as he was thinking about talking to the Weatherby Swan, Gareth Stanton suddenly came to meet him with two soldiers, along with Arsie.

"What's going on?"

"My lord, just now, the village chief of Molten Iron Village, Amantis, led twenty soldiers to invade the southern border of Winter Town."

"And then ......," Davy knew when he heard Gareth's tone of debriefing, that the matter had been settled, and that he was now reporting the situation to himself, not to himself.

"Our soldiers patrolling the southern outpost issued a warning, but the village chief of Amantis ignored it, and in accordance with your instructions, the soldiers called for air support."

"Oh......" David understood why Arcie had come with him, Arcie was the air support for Wintertown - if Arcie wasn't there and went to another world, he would take care of the job himself.

"I rushed over as soon as I received the communication, and when I saw that the group had crossed the border and were ready to attack our soldiers, I opened fire."

Gareth Stanton's face was very strange when he heard this, and he continued to report: "We fought with the people of Molten Iron Village for a total of ten seconds, and the chief of Molten Iron Village, Amantis, and his twenty soldiers were all wiped out; One of us was slightly injured...... Because I didn't wear a helmet when I was patrolling, I was wiped on my forehead by the stones blown away by the missile."
