Chapter 280 Road Construction Is Imminent
Hastily asked the servant to fetch a large basin of bath water for himself, and Reiner jumped in and began to wash under the service of two little maids.
Lying in the comfortable bathtub, the warm water with some spices calmed his heart, and he was no longer as irritable as before.
After calming down his thoughts, Reiner had another idea.
"Fix the road!"
He had this idea a long time ago. If he wanted to get rich, he first built roads. He was already ready to build roads, but he had to give up temporarily because of the threat of Earl Zhebo.
But now, Leiner has no strong enemies outside, no hidden worries inside, and the territory is very peaceful.
If you want to speed up the development of your territory and strengthen your rule, fast and safe methods of message transmission and army delivery are essential.
Obviously, building roads is the best way.
Reiner pondered for a moment. Speaking of which, the system can help him build roads, but it is not without other options.
Mainly because Reiner has other ideas now.
Just after the war ended, some residents became impoverished due to the previous war. If they didn't rely on the system to build roads, at least they could do work for relief, so that the residents could recover as quickly as possible.
At the same time, it can also stimulate the development of business to a certain extent.
However, if this is done, there will undoubtedly be a huge amount of expenses, especially since the commerce in the northern border is not very developed, and Leiner cannot achieve the so-called point where the money spent can be recovered.
If you want to trim a road that connects the entire territory, the resources and wealth spent are absolutely unaffordable for the current Lena.
This is more than a dozen territories the size of Henan Province... Even if all the citizens are mobilized, it will take at least two years to complete the construction, and this is still under the condition that there is no shortage of resources and materials.
"Tsk..." Lena frowned, frowning.
Hearing Reiner's voice, the green tree maid said softly: "What's the matter, Mr. Earl? Do you need some hot water?"
"No need!" Reiner frowned and got up from the bathtub. After being wiped clean by two maids, he returned to the bed.
turn on the system,
He asked the system: "System, how can we build a long enough road with the least cost?"
The system did not answer immediately, but displayed: "Computing"
After waiting for a while, the system's electronic voice sounded in Leiner's ears: "Roads can be built by recycling and transforming."
"The specific operation is to recycle other buildings and convert them into roads and lay them on the ground, which is the optimal solution"
Reiner still didn't understand, he asked: "What are the buildings that can be recycled now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a virtual map appeared in front of him.
Leiner knew that this was the whole picture of his current territory, even the territories of his vassals were on it.
I saw a big piece of green on this map, and the voice of the system said: "Currently, the building that can be transformed is: "Mecaron City, which can be transformed into a 16-meter-wide stone road and 20 kilometers..."
"The building that can be transformed into: Petry Fort, which can be transformed into a 16-meter-wide stone road for four kilometers..."
"The building can be transformed into: an intermediate-level racecourse, which can be transformed into a stone road with a width of 16 meters and a width of 500 meters..."
When Lena heard...
"hiss……"
"So that's what recycling means!" Reiner clapped his hands and sat up from the bed. It's really like someone gave a pillow just when he was about to sleep.
There are too many castles on the territory itself is a hidden worry for Leiner, and now he can directly convert the excess territory into roads, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
After making a decision, Leiner is ready to implement it immediately. Anyway, the system has always been simple and rude in terms of construction, and there are no hidden dangers.
Reiner looked at the various castles on the map, and began to think that keeping those castles could achieve the same purpose.
After calculations, Lai'an found that he only needed to maintain sixteen castles on a huge territory to ensure complete control of the entire territory and no waste of troops.
After calculation, Leiner directly recovered some castles and gave the exchange city the corresponding road length.
In the end, it was replaced by a 180-kilometer road with a width of 16 meters, temporarily connecting more than half of the main roads in the area.
As for the roads at the village level and the territories of the vassals...
Reiner doesn't have that much spare money to build, and there aren't that many castles that can be converted into roads.
After some operations in the system, Reiner lay down on the bed and fell asleep drowsily.
Early the next morning, Reiner couldn't wait to get the two little maids to help him get dressed, and hurried to the highest point of the main castle to look over.
I saw that a spacious road with a width of 16 meters stretched straight out from the gate of Mecaron City.
As the terrain changed, the road gradually became winding, but this did not affect the transportation capacity of this road at all, and it just continued to extend beyond the horizon, a place that Leiner could not see.
He knew that a road of this length would not be able to cover his territory at all. According to the current size of Leiner's territory of 650,000 square kilometers, the distance from north to south is more than 210 kilometers, and the distance from east to west is 180 kilometers. More than one kilometer, these roads can't cover the entire territory.
If he wants to cover the entire northern territory, he will probably have to struggle for a long time.
However, the sudden appearance of a spacious road on the territory did not surprise the residents. Reiner estimated that it was similar to the previous contract upgrade card, which was caused by modifying the memory.
"Lord earl! I finally found you!" Sir Corder's voice sounded from behind, and now the burden on him was much lighter.
Before that, he was simply an old scalper in the territory, and he was responsible for everything.
Well now, Reiner has transferred the financial power to Aizexi. After some examinations, Reiner found that he is indeed very knowledgeable about wealth and business. Na, a new human from the Celestial Dynasty, couldn't even understand it.
Of course, Reiner didn't completely trust him. Logan's spies and some undercover agents had been monitoring him to prevent him from embezzling or accepting bribes.
"What's wrong with my uncle?" Reiner turned around and asked.
"That's it!" Sir Corder handed the document to Reiner, and then said: "This is our steel production this month, because the territory has gradually stabilized, and the production has greatly increased compared to last month." promote.
"The steel production in our territory this month is 150 tons...more than half of last month's 70 tons. What you have in your hands is the amount of steel produced by each mine!" Sir Corder Pointing to the document in Leiner's hand.
Reiner glanced at it, then nodded and said, "Very good, let's store all the steel in the warehouse, and let the blacksmiths make enough agricultural tools as quickly as possible. We have to afford the population of the territory. I want to increase the amount of arable land in the entire territory from 2.2 million mu to 5 million mu within three years, even though I won’t use steel to make farm tools, I’m still willing to pay this little money!”
