After the autumn harvest, before the snow closed the mountain, Richard and his slaves began to build roads.

Despite being a simple gravel road, Haaland's territory is mountainous and hilly, and it is very labor-intensive to build the road.

Counting more than 3,000 people who are old and weak, it took more than 40 days to build a 30-kilometer-long road.

The road is about four meters wide, and drainage ditches more than one meter deep have been dug on both sides, and road protection trees have been transplanted on both sides of the drainage ditch.

Today, the road from Fort William to Wayao Village has been built.

More than a dozen kilometers of road between Wayao Village and Vicburg have also been built.

Now the road has been built to the vicinity of Reclamation Camp No. 2, and there are only twenty kilometers left from Vicburg.

The remaining 20 kilometers of roads are relatively easy to repair.

It is only necessary to climb over two mountains three or four hundred meters high, and the rest are one or two hundred meters, hills tens of meters high, and almost ten kilometers of flat roads.

The southernmost ten-kilometre road is located in the Barony of Stoppa, and the construction of the road in the Barony of Stopa requires the cooperation of Baron Sophia.

With Richard's understanding of Sophia, she would never object to this matter, and would send slaves to cooperate with Richard in building roads.

The first snow fell late this year, and by mid-November, the heavy snow came late, about a month later than normal.

After the snowfall, Richard saw that the climate was cold, and it was no longer suitable for field work.

Richard told the old man and the child to go home to rest, and the strong slaves, who still had to work, went to the brick kiln factory to burn bricks.

By the autumn of this year, the brick kiln factory workers are still improving their brick-burning technology, and they can fire 100,000 bricks at one time, with a success rate of about 40%.

In a month, the brick kiln factory can fire a million bricks.

Still, there is a gap in the bricks.

The construction of Fort William, in particular, seems to be a bottomless pit, and there are not enough bricks at any time.

Seeing the huge increase in brick production, Powell decided to wrap the city wall with a layer of bricks.

The walls built in front of it were stone foundations and clay walls, which were sturdy but not beautiful.

Wrapping it with a layer of bricks will look much more beautiful and will also enhance your defenses.

Now the brick kiln has doubled its output, and the houses where the slaves lived have been built.

Richard decided to support Powell, and by November of this year, one-sixth of the brick walls had been built.

"Master Richard, Bobby has improved the production process again, and I want you to go to the brick kiln factory to have a look and point out the process."

Richard was in a meeting with Powell at Fort William to work out the schedule of the work, when a slave walked briskly, bowed respectfully to the two noble lords, and whispered.

Poppy was the deputy director of a brick kiln factory and a former slave. In the production of the brick kiln factory, Poppy stood out from the ranks of slaves.

He improved the process several times, increased the production efficiency of the brick kiln factory, won the praise of Richard, and had been freed from slavery and regained his freedom.

Richard had intended to follow Poppy's example and appoint him director of the brick kiln factory.

However, Poppy was not good at management, and although he was very smart, he lacked the ability to communicate with people, so Richard could only be appointed as the deputy director of production in the brick kiln factory, and worked with Rooney, the factory director.

Rooney, a freeman at Fort Black River, has served the Harland family for many years and is Lady Aura's business assistant.

The two of them have partnered well in the brick kiln factory, and the efficiency of the brick kiln factory has been continuously improved in the past two years, which has well supported the construction of the territory.

"It seems that Bobby has a conflict with Rooney, he asked me to go to the brick kiln factory, ostensibly to let me guide the process, but secretly I am afraid that he wants me to stand for him and get my support."

Although the slave did not say it explicitly, the hidden careful thoughts of Richard were clear.

Getting along with each other will inevitably be accompanied by contradictions of one kind or another, and as long as it is not for private reasons, Richard is unwilling to pursue it.

If there is no contradiction below, one nostril is exhaling, and Richard will doubt the loyalty below.

Moreover, in this world where great power belongs to itself, the intrigue between ordinary people cannot be on the table at all.

It's too much trouble, and it arouses Richard's disgust, but it will ask for trouble.

Nobles killed ordinary people and it was very difficult to be punished.

Richard was self-aware, although he often played in the brick kiln factory when he was a child, and was very familiar with the structure of the kiln, and built the brick kiln factory according to the cat and the tiger, but he did not understand the process of firing bricks at all.

How to place the bricks, the temperature, time, heat, and all kinds of details of the process were not clear to Richard.

Even the uncle who opened the brick kiln factory knew a rough idea of the process, otherwise he would not have spent a lot of money to hire a master who yards bricks and burns fires.

On the contrary, Bobby, who is very talented in this area, has burned hundreds of kiln bricks in the past two years, and has accumulated profound experience, otherwise he can improve the process many times, and the success rate of burning bricks has increased to about 40%.

In the blue star of the previous life, the success rate of the ignition master burning bricks will make the boss mess.

But in the Dawn Continent, Bobby is already the best talent.

According to Richard's understanding, there is no wheeled brick kiln factory in the Dawn Continent.

The Haaland Territory Wheeled Brick Kiln Factory has a productivity equivalent to ten ordinary brick kilns.

In the entire Heihe County, including the territory directly under the royal family, more than a dozen baronies have established six brick kiln factories.

A brick kiln factory in Haaland's territory produced about twice as much as the other nobles in Heihe County.

Ordinary brick kiln factories are considered advanced productive forces in the Dawn Continent.

Those who mastered the technique of burning bricks were all noble lords.

In this world, the aristocracy's monopoly on knowledge is extremely serious, and they only communicate within the family.

The speed of knowledge transmission is very slow, and those who have knowledge will also cherish themselves.

From history, Richard has not found a saint like Confucius, who spread knowledge and recruited disciples.

With such a large territory and such a large population, the Kingdom of Grant had only very few church schools.

The knowledge taught in church schools is usually based on simple knowledge such as writing and arithmetic.

The Stopa family had an accident and lost the book documenting the production process, and there was no solution.

This is the general situation in the Dawn Continent.

The only way to change the status quo and get rid of people's deep-seated beliefs is violent revolution.

The Dawn Continent has extraordinary power, and unless you can become a powerful god and far outperform your opponents, you will have the power to change this world.

Even the goddess of the dawn is not a monopoly in this plane.

So Richard can only start with himself and try not to behave too out of line. But the stereotyped three views of his previous life sometimes make him incompatible with this world.
