Chapter 71 Urban Planning

Lord's castle.

Bruno was casually flipping through the records from the Idar Immigration Administration. There was a cup of warm boiled water on the table.

Although Idar County already has its own distillery, Bruno will not touch it easily until the first batch of newly brewed whiskey has completed the aging process.

This is because newly brewed wine contains certain impurities, such as methanol, which is harmful to the body if consumed directly.

It was for this reason that Bruno changed his subsequent winemaking strategy.

The newly brewed wine will be divided into two parts. One part will be put into wooden barrels for aging and maturation to make whiskey, while the other part will be directly added with distilled water to make a wine with a concentration of 40 to 60 degrees, and then directly obtained as vodka through activated carbon filtration.

The vodka processed in this way becomes crystal clear, light and refreshing, with no bitterness but only a fiery stimulation.

Since the first batch of vodka had not yet been officially produced, and Bruno had no interest in the dry-tasting wine, Bruno could only drink boiled water at this time.

Bruno was reading the report presented by Lister intently, and the content of the report made Bruno very satisfied.

As the situation in Solon became increasingly tense, nearly a thousand civilians entered Idar through the Solon River port in less than a week.

There are nearly a thousand refugees, which is close to one-tenth of Idar’s original residents.

According to Bruno's plan, these one thousand refugees will be divided into two parts after passing inspection and quarantine. One part will directly cultivate fields on the south bank of the Soron River, while the other part will be put into Bruno's Idar city renovation plan.

Although it was a bit late to cultivate the fields now, Bruno estimated that if he worked harder, it would still be in time.

Besides, it doesn’t matter if the food produced by these refugees is not satisfactory. Bruno doesn’t think highly of the food they produce.

In fact, when it comes down to it, Bruno originally didn't want these refugees to farm, because the cultivation of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn and the large-scale use of chemical fertilizers could allow Idar to support twice as many people as it does now.

However, for most refugees, they would not be worried unless they had food at home.

If Bruno hadn't come up with the gimmick of distributing land, it would have been impossible to attract so many refugees in such a short time.

Let’s kidnap the person to Idar first!

This is Bruno’s truest thought at the moment.

The ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight. Only when these people see with their own eyes that the civilians responsible for building the Namur Fortress and other projects have higher incomes than them, will they gradually join in voluntarily.

As for the renovation plan for Idar City... Bruno has been planning it for a long time.

The so-called Idar city renovation plan is actually part of the Idar development plan designed by Bruno.

The existing urban area of ​​Idar City is relatively small. Except for the area near the lord's castle and the main roads connecting several city gates, the roads in other places can only barely allow one carriage to pass, and there are even many roads that can only be used on foot.

If the road connecting to Mann's Fortress is officially opened in a few days, the roads and buildings in Idar will undoubtedly become a major obstacle.

Therefore, Bruno decided to use some of the refugees to expand and transform the city of Idar.

Of course, it is obviously unrealistic to renovate the entire city of Idar all at once. After all, the workload of renovating the city of Idar is no less than building a new wonder.

Therefore, Bruno decided to first target the main roads connecting the north and south of Idar City and the area near the south gate of Idar City as the first batch of renovation objects.

In Bruno's plan, the houses near the main road will be demolished directly, thereby widening the main road of Idar City by more than double, allowing at least four carriages to drive side by side on the road.

This road will become the commercial street in Bruno's plan, used to build taverns, hotels and other commercial buildings. Specialty stores selling sugar, salt and other products produced in Idar will also be opened here.

In addition to the planning for the city of Idar, Bruno also made a rough division of the future regional distribution of the entire Idar territory.

First of all, Idar’s development and construction focus in the future will be concentrated along five roads.

According to Bruno's construction map of Idar, the land west of Idar city and east of the Almis Mountains, the plain area south of the Idar River, and the land on the south bank of the Soron River will become the three main grain-producing areas of Idar city, that is, the future agricultural areas of Idar.

The largest of the three major grain areas is the open plain south of the Idar River that extends to Mann Fortress, which is extremely suitable for the growth and cultivation of grain crops.

The Golan Heights and the area between the city of Idar and the fishing port are the two industrial areas planned by Bruno.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although the iron ore in the Gran Heights has not yet been mined on a large scale due to a shortage of manpower, it is undeniable that the Gran Heights, which are extremely rich in metal deposits, will provide an indispensable and important driving force for the future development of Idar Territory.

As for designating the city of Idar and the fishing port as another industrial zone for key development, it was Bruno's preparation for the future.

In Bruno's opinion, Idar's fishing port is a good deep-water port. If it is only used to dock fishing boats, it would be too deserted.

At the same time, the Almis Mountains located west of Idar Territory were also circled by Bruno.

One is because of the magic crystal mines in the Almis Mountains, and the other is because Bruno really has a great interest in the Almis Mountains.

Not only can it provide the wood needed by Idar Territory, the sparsely populated Almis Mountains can also become Bruno's secret base in the future, a place for Bruno to test enchanted weapons and conduct other research.

After all, as roads are gradually paved and trade routes to the Kingdom of Basel are opened up, the territory of Idar will surely welcome more and more transit caravans in the future.

Although foreign caravans will bring Idar Territory far greater economic benefits than before, they will also increase the risk of Idar Territory's technology leaks.

Therefore, the remote Almis Mountains became Bruno's preferred location for new weapons research or product development.

Besides, there might be treasures in the Almis Mountains that Bruno has not discovered yet.

Thanks to all the book friends for reminding me, which made me realize the importance of aging whiskey, so I quickly added vodka which does not need aging, hehe~ 　First update, 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
