Things From Another World

222. The 222 chapter is too big, but not afraid to pull the egg

Brian was chased by Ebron and had to run back to Forge Hammer to ask for the shelter of his son and daughter-in-law. After dinner, Dunn had begun to discuss with Fiona about paving the road. .

Thousands of tons of bitumen recovered from the Dwarf Kingdom can only meet the first phase of the road project in Ellington, which is only enough to cover the area covered by the old and new towns of Ellington, and even the other villages in Ellington cannot be completely Unicom.

“The Lord Lord, although it hasn’t started yet, I think this project is costly and cannot be afforded by ourselves.”

Fiona estimated the cost of paving. I didn’t care much at first, but after I counted it, I was shocked. According to the data given by the current Dunn, there is also the thickness of the paving, paving a new road with asphalt. The cost is almost a gold coin!

It doesn’t seem to be much?

According to Dunn’s plan, the main road should be at least sixteen meters wide, and the secondary passage should be at least ten meters wide. The distance of one meter long is twenty-six gold coins. The total length of the old and new urban roads is now combined. About fifty kilometers, this is already 130,000 gold coins!

It’s just that the Ellington city, which has not yet been fully completed, needs 130,000 gold coins to lay the road, not to mention the total length of the road has exceeded hundreds of kilometers in the complete plan. There are roads connecting other villages and towns!

If you want to transform all the roads in Ellington, you don’t think about it without millions of gold coins!

If you want to connect with other territories and lay asphalt road network, the number of inputs you need to invest is even more amazing. It can be calculated in millions or billions! This kind of project simply needs to be done by the power of one country. Want to complete this kind of project in the territory of Ellington? It’s simply an idiot saying a dream!

“I never said that I have to bear it myself.”

Dunn doesn’t care about it: “First, let the roads in the country be laid out. The roads in other places, after those people have come to Ellington, naturally someone will come to us to cooperate. At that time, we only set standards and sell materials. Selling technology to sell equipment can make money.”

“……I understand!”

Fiona almost immediately understood what Dunn meant. It was better to talk about it and use the ready-made example to let those people feel the benefits of the asphalt road. They would propose to pave the way.

Dunn didn’t worry about the financial problems of the road construction in the future, because he knew that the benefits of the asphalt road will spread more and more people want to build roads.

Think about it. Once you feel the stability on the asphalt road, who else can endure the dirt road that is muddy once it rains? Or is it a bumpy gravel road that is going to be bumpy?

To be more exaggerated, asphalt roads also bring about an increase in efficiency. The major chambers of commerce are not fools. If the roads are replaced by such flat asphalt roads, how much will their carriages move forward? To know that time is money, business opportunities are fleeting, and you can take the first step, you can earn a lot of money, one step behind, you can only find some wreckage and cold.

“What we have to do now is to build Ellington.”

Dunn said with a strong heart: “As long as Ellington is built, all problems will be solved, and other things need not be worried.”

“I understand, but…”

Fiona pulled out a letter: “The news that Hilton sent back from Yarinks, the parliamentary leader of the aristocracy, Leandel, is secretly searching for any information about you. This does not seem to be good news.”

Dunn swayed his hand indiscriminately: “Let’s search, my message has already been on the table of the nobles of Yarinks.”

“Oh, there is another, ‘night song’ sent a message, Berkeley president decided to launch a business alliance to block the Datang Chamber of Commerce, has agreed to all members of the business alliance refused to sell anything to the Tang Tang Chamber of Commerce… Lord Lord, night Who is the song?”

“A little thief who jumps up and down… Hey!”

“The thief? How can the thief know the news… This is not good news.”

Fiona had a little headache with her eyebrows: “We are still importing food from Kaspermi and Beyin. The food industry in these two cities can be commercial alliances, and commercial alliances block us. We can’t even buy food!”

Dunn’s brow wrinkles: “How much food can you harvest this month, plus how you bought it before?”

“Up to four months, if the winter encounters a World of Warcraft attack, or a cold wave, or a war, it will lead to food shortage.”

“Four months…that is, the cold month at the end of the year…”

“Yes, the spring harvest from the dawn of the month is still two months away.”

Dunn stunned: “The harvested grain is not even resistant to the spring harvest. How was it here before?”

Tina, who came in from the tea, couldn’t help but whisper: “The Lord, Ellington, will starve a lot of people every winter… Everyone can’t eat enough, and they can barely get the spring harvest…”

Fiona added: “By the emergence of the combine harvester, this season’s grain harvest is very fast, basically no waste, and no loss due to the weather and World of Warcraft, so the grain output has increased by about 30% compared with previous years. But not enough per capita rations.”

“This is mainly because there are a lot more people in Ellington than in the past, almost doubled, but the area of ​​grain cultivation has not expanded. On the contrary, we have promoted the increase of mint and the cultivation area of ​​the two herbs, so the problem suddenly It broke out.”

“Is the food ratio system implemented?”

“You can support for a month, the month of the coming year.”

Dunn tapped the table: “That is, even if the rationing system is implemented, at least two months of food for Ellington will be obtained before the winter.”

“Yes, but considering the stability issue, it is best to buy food for two months.”

Fiona said helplessly: “Don’t look at the fact that we have run Ellington. In fact, now Ellington is extremely fragile. At this time, you, our lord, are the most important, as long as you can solve us. The problem, then Ellington can continue to develop, if you can not solve a problem, with a little pressure, a little setback, Ellington is likely to collapse.”

“After all, most of the people who came to Ellington now are poor emigrants. These people risk their lives and go to Ellington for a full meal. Once they learn, the winter Ellington company No food is available, so who else is willing to stay here?”

Dunn smiled and nodded. “I know, rest assured, food is not a problem.”

“Laugh! You still laughed out!”

Fiona is almost mad: “Where are you going to find someone to sell you food? Even if you are willing to sell, after you know the blockade news of the business alliance, you will definitely take the opportunity to blackmail the price increase. We can’t stand this. toss!”

“secret.”

Dunn waved his hand: “I know the problem of food. Let’s put it down for a while. Let’s go back to the previous question and it is paving the way.”

“What else? Cost accounting is already clear…oh, yes!”

Fiona clapped: “Although you have always said that asphalt can pave the way, it is a good thing, but this road should be laid but it has not been said yet.”

“This is quite simple, but it still needs training because it requires two machines.”

Dunn smiled a little: “I started to study pavers and road rollers in the afternoon, but after the production… our spare parts processing plant capacity may not keep up, and the production capacity is seriously insufficient.”

“Not enough capacity!”

Fiona sighed again: “The technology of the lathe and punch machine that you get out is very convenient, and it is very convenient to expand the production capacity. But – now we don’t have so many people! In the spare parts processing factory, the workers on the production line The busy ones are not going to turn around, and they are still building outside. Where are some people available?”

“When it comes to employing people, we are lacking now, but if we recruit more people, our food gap will be even bigger. Now this is an inextricable cycle, unless we can solve the food problem, then we can Reassuring to recruit migrants.”

“In addition, the Lord, we are now rebuilding Ellington, we must also engage in water conservancy, road repair, improvement of the mining industry, rectification of agriculture, and expansion of business outside… Do you think that our steps are too big?”

Fiona stared at Dunn and said, “Really, these things are just enough for ordinary people to make a name for themselves. You can take the same thing as the Lord, and I always feel at your leisurely face. Underneath, it seems that hiding a faint anxiety is my illusion?”

“Of course.”

Dunn said innocently: “I have something to worry about? Don’t forget that I am a mage. Even if Ellington is broken by me, it will be fine if I pat the butt and leave. I can’t stay here. Is it funeral? Oh, of course, rest assured, if I have to leave, I will definitely not forget to bring you.”

“The Lord Lord…”

Listening to Dunn, saying that Fiona and Tina remember what they were just discussing. The eyes were foggy and moving, and I was so moved that I couldn’t wait to get a kiss.

“The time is almost up. You are here to sort out the documents. I am going to ponder the roller.”

Dunn laughed and left the study room. Just closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared, and he couldn’t help but swear: “The woman’s intuition is terrible… can it feel like this?”

“Lord Lord? What are you talking about?”

Dunn’s face was positive and turned and went: “Hey? Marlene, have you changed your hair? It looks so beautiful!”

He knows very well that a woman, especially a woman who is very curious, is a very dangerous creature. If you add another word “beautiful” on it, it is even more dangerous.

Fortunately, this creature has a very fatal weakness, which is unusually sensible and likes to ignore normal logic…

Therefore, their attention can be easily transferred.

“Yeah, Lord Lord, really?”

Marlene’s curiosity was immediately transferred, and she turned around in a hurry, then shyly asked: “Whether… is it beautiful or beautiful?”

“It’s pretty… I have gone out beforehand, you are busy.”

Marlene’s voice was very sweet, and most people couldn’t hold it. Dunn smiled at her and then left the lord’s house in a hurry.
