Black Iron Crown

Chapter 280: Road construction is imminent

In a hurry, the servants gave himself a large basin of bath water, and Rainer jumped in and began to wash under the wait of the 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 his thoughts, Rainer had another idea.

"Building roads!"

He had this idea a long time ago. He wanted to build a road before getting rich. He had already made preparations for the road, but then he had to give it up temporarily because of the threat of Count Zhebo.

But now, Rainer is invincible outside, no worries inside, and the territory is very peaceful.

If you want to speed up the development of the territory and strengthen the rule, such a fast and safe way of message transmission and army projection is indispensable.

Obviously, building roads is the best way.

Rainer pondered for a moment, saying that the system could help him build roads, but it was not without other options.

Mainly because Reiner has other ideas now.

As soon as the war ended, some civil servants became impoverished because of the previous war. If they did not rely on the system to build roads, they would at least be able to provide relief by work for the residents to recover as quickly as possible.

At the same time, it can also stimulate business development to a certain extent.

However, if you do this, you will undoubtedly incur a huge amount of expenditure, especially the business in the northern border is not very developed, and Rainer can't achieve the so-called point where the money spent can be recovered.

If you want to prune a road that connects the entire territory, the resources and wealth spent are definitely beyond the ability of Reiner.

This is more than a dozen territories the size of Henan Province... Even if all the people are mobilized, it will take at least two years to complete the construction. This is still under the condition that all the resources and materials are not lacking.

"Tsk..." Rainer frowned and frowned.

Hearing Rainer's voice, the Green Tree Maid whispered: "What's the matter, Lord Earl? Do I need some hot water?"

"No need!" Lena got up from the bathtub with a frown, was wiped clean by the two maids, and returned to the bed.

Turn on the system and ask the system: "How can the system build a long enough road with the least cost?"

The system did not answer immediately, but displayed: "Operating"

After waiting for a while, the electronic sound of the system rang in Leiner's ears: "Roads can be built by recycling and transforming."

"The specific operation is to recycle other buildings and turn them into roads and pave them on the ground, which is the optimal solution."

Reiner still didn't understand. He asked, "So what are the buildings that can be recycled now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a virtual map appeared in front of him.

Rainer knew that this was the entire map of his current territory, and even the territory of his vassals was on it.

I saw a big piece of green on this map, and the system's voice said: "The current transformable building is: "Mecalon City, which can transform a 16-meter-wide stone road and 20 kilometers..."

"The transformable building is: Petri Fort, which can be transformed into a 16-meter-wide stone road of four kilometers..."

"The building that can be transformed into: an intermediate racecourse, which can be transformed into a stone road with a width of 16 meters and 500 meters..."

Rainer heard...

"hiss……"

"It turns out that recycling is what it means!" Rainer clapped his hands and sat up from the bed. It was true that someone gave a pillow when he wanted to sleep.

Too many castles on the territory itself is a hidden worry for Lena, and now it is possible to directly convert the excess territory into a road, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

After making a decision, Reiner is ready to implement it immediately. Anyway, the system has always been simple and rude in terms of construction, and there is no hidden danger.

Rainer looked at the castles on the map, and began to think about keeping those castles to achieve the same goal.

After calculation, Lai'an found that he only needs to maintain sixteen castles in his vast territory to ensure complete control of the entire territory and there will be no waste of troops.

After calculating, Rainer directly recovered some of the castles, giving the exchange city the corresponding road length.

In the end, it was replaced with a 16-meter-wide road of 180 kilometers, temporarily connecting more than half of the regional main roads.

As for the village-level roads and the vassals’ territories...

Rainer does not have so much spare money to build, and there are not so many castles that can be converted into roads.

After performing some operations in the system, Rainer lay down on the bed and fell asleep drowsy.

Early the next morning, Rainer couldn't wait to let the two little maids get dressed for him, and hurriedly ran to the highest point of the main fort and began to look out.

I saw that a 16-meter-wide wide road stretched straight from the entrance of Mekalong City.

With the change of terrain, the road gradually became winding, but this did not affect the transportation capacity of this road in the slightest, and it stretched out beyond the horizon in a continuous way, where Rainer couldn't see it.

He knew that a road of this length would not be able to cover his own territory at all. According to the current size of Renner's 650,000 square kilometers of territory, the distance between north and south is more than 210 kilometers, and the distance between east and west is 180. For many kilometers, these roads can't cover the entire territory.

It is estimated that he will have to fight for a long time if he wants to cover the entire northern territory.

However, the sudden appearance of a spacious road on the territory did not surprise the residents. In his mind, Rainer estimated that it was still similar to the previous contract upgrade card, which was caused by the memory modification.

"My Lord Earl! I finally found you!" Sir Cod's voice sounded from behind, and now his burden was lightened a lot.

Before, he was simply the old scalper on the territory, and he was responsible for everything.

Now it’s alright. Reiner called the financial power to Ezehi. After some school examinations, Reiner found that he did have a high level of knowledge in wealth and business~lightnovelpub.net~ even he Some of the theories even Leiner, a new human from the celestial dynasty, can't understand.

Of course, Rainer 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, my uncle?" Rainer turned around.

"That's it!" Sir Cod handed the papers to Rainer, and then said: "This is our steel production this month, because the territory has gradually stabilized, and the production has been greatly increased compared to the previous month. promote.

"The output of steel in our territory this month is 150 tons...more than half of the 70 tons last month. What you have in your hand is the amount of steel produced in various mines!" Sir Cod Pointing to the file in Rainer's hand.

Reiner looked through it, then nodded and said, "Very well, store all these steel in a warehouse, so that the blacksmiths can build enough farm tools as quickly as possible. With so many people in the territory, we can afford it. I want to increase the amount of arable land in the entire territory from 2.2 million acres to 5 million acres within three years. Even though I win the use of steel to build farm tools, I am still willing to pay for it!"
