Chapter 390 Road Construction
"If you want to be rich, build roads first!" Roland seemed to remember something and suddenly said this famous saying from his previous life to Nicks.
"Huh? Road construction?" Nyx was startled.
Roland chuckled and stroked Nyx's hair: "Yes, build the road! Only when the road is built can we better control the kingdom's land!"
Roland looked at Nyx and said seriously, a road paved with stone bricks is enough to increase the speed of the rushing knights by one-third! The carriage speed increases by half! The speed of infantry can also be increased slightly! This is the military convenience that a well-maintained road can bring. It is a very important facility for the Kingdom of Lagrand, which is founded on knights!
You must know that even if horseshoes are nailed, horseshoes will still be damaged when galloping in the wilderness, but there will be almost no non-combat injuries when galloping on a rocky road...
"Where are you going to build the road?" Nyx had a headache. It was estimated that Mr. Radil was going to collapse again. He just helped Roland repair the third floor of the castle some time ago, which gave Roland's castle a sense of importance. The scale... But as a king's castle, it is actually very cheap! A few days ago Radil was still building other temples...
"Our city is too big... so big that it's so empty..." Roland despaired when he thought of the huge area of Rapid City...
One kilometer long, one kilometer wide, and with a five-meter-high city wall, it is the second largest city in the north, second only to River Valley State. (However, there is something about that castle that even the barons in the countryside despised.)
But when I think about the territory, I feel even more desperate! Now these people from the Lagrand Kingdom can't even make a splash if they throw water into it.
"Build roads! Build roads! Build roads!" Roland waved his fist, and the infrastructure maniac started to work!
"..." Nyx looked at Roland with touching eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Ahem! What I mean is to repair the road from Rapid City to Tuput Territory first. It's only more than twenty miles, so it's not too long!" Roland calculated.
"Actually, building a road to Lulong Fortress is the best choice! But the distance... I guess Mr. Radil will have to string me up with ground thorns!" Roland smiled as he thought about it.
After all, it is at least more than one hundred and nearly two hundred miles from Lulong Fortress to Rapid City! If Radil really cultivates like this, I guess he can really learn from Yun Feng to chase the king...
"Well, as long as you have an idea..." Nyx nodded. She was really afraid that Roland would be forced to rebel by everyone below.
…
"Uh... Your Highness, you really don't treat mages as uncrowned nobles... What we believe in is nature! It's truth! It's knowledge! I am a servant of truth! Not a slave laborer carrying bricks on a construction site!" Radil He was blowing his beard and staring, seeing that Roland, a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has a good way of squeezing spell casters! And he still has a criminal record! The most important thing is that the behavior is extremely bad! The quantity is extremely huge!
"Don't get excited...Old man! I didn't let you do it alone!" Roland felt that Radil might have misunderstood, so he quickly explained. He was afraid that Radil would throw a war magic in his face...
"Let's talk." Radil listened attentively.
"It's almost winter, and our people have nothing to do, and the kingdom has no industry that can produce in winter. I'm thinking that instead of letting the young men in the city idle... why not let them move bricks?" Roland asked and asked. Dill discussed.
"Hmm~" Radil stroked his white beard and lowered his head to think.
"Roads always need to be repaired! Whether it is the travel of caravans, armies, or even the people of the kingdom in the future! We all need a wide road!" Roland said firmly to Radil.
"You want to build a stone road? Instead of a dirt road?" Radil frowned.
"Of course, since so much effort has been wasted, shouldn't it be done in one step? The dirt road cannot meet the needs of the kingdom at all!" Roland said firmly. Although the dirt road is constructed faster, it will be GG when it rains. A heavy rain is enough to calm the mentality. No matter how good a person is, he cries...
"Tell me about your plan, Your Highness!" Radil said seriously, obviously he was starting to think about this matter seriously.
"I plan to build a stone road ten meters wide..." Roland just started.
"Wait! Ten meters! Your ambitions are not small! The empire's officialdom was just like this!" Radil was stunned. He knew that the king was ambitious, but he never expected that the ambition was so wild! The ten-meter-wide road is big enough for four carriages to go parallel! It also means that even a group of ten thousand knights can quickly gather and move through this road!
"I am impressed by your ambition! I will build this road according to your instructions, but I need a lot of young men!" Radil took a deep look at Roland. The emergence of this road means that even if it is a rapid flow, The infantry in the city can quickly support the town of Delwin! The kingdom will truly radiate its influence to the lands of the centaurs and horses!
Within an hour, all armies arrived, and they asked Baron Bader if he "dare" to move. This tribe of centaurs will truly surrender to Roland.
"What are your plans for Lulong Fortress?" Radil suddenly asked.
"It's too far away, and we can't reach it. The roads there will also need to be repaired when we have the opportunity in the future!" Roland shook his head, saying that he had more than enough ambition but not enough power... No! It's because he's willing but Radil doesn't have the strength. After all, he's an old man, so he can't do this casually.
"The girl that Lance brought back - Nina Bonn! Talented in the dual elements of fire and earth! Now she is a magic apprentice! She will soon become a trainee mage!" Radil waved his hand to Roland and shook his head to himself. Leave.
"Interesting! It looks like my brick-moving team will have a new member soon!" Roland thought to himself.
…
"What for?" Yun Feng rolled his eyes. Now he was embarrassed when he saw Roland. Five thousand sets this time! Wouldn't it be better to get 50,000 sets next time?
"It's too early to send those thousand sets of equipment! If you are here to urge me - no!" Yun Feng waved his hand impatiently, as if to shoo away flies.
"That's not it. I plan to repair a stone road from Rapid City to Delwin! We need young people! Find a way to recruit 2,000 people for me before winter!" Roland ordered.
"Pfft!" Yun Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Turns out it’s not Roland who has changed his gender! Emotions are going to harm Radil!
"The old man didn't fight for you?" Yun Feng looked at Roland curiously, and after careful inspection, he found that Roland had no arms or legs.
"Do you think everyone is thinking about regicide like you? Radil won't refuse this kind of thing that is beneficial to the development of the kingdom! What's more, the road is a necessity!" Roland rolled his eyes at Yun Feng, indicating that he would not be happy if he did not die. ?
"That's right! Come on, hurry up if you have nothing to do! I'll call you if something happens! I'm so upset to see you!" Yun Feng covered his heart angrily, and now his temples were beating suddenly when he saw Yun Feng's temples.
