When you first arrive, it is enough to have a temporary place to stay. First, settle down and understand the terrain before you can slowly plan.
The location chosen by Jun Shutong was about ten miles away from the orc village. It was not too far, so they could avoid disturbing each other and it was also convenient to interact with them.
As an outsider, I am unfamiliar with the place and need the orcs' help in many things. I also need to build good relationships with them.
If we want to expand our territory in the future, we will definitely need the help of the orcs.
The place where Jun Shutong chose to live has many big trees and the terrain is relatively flat. There is also a mountain spring nearby, but it is now hidden under the rocks. If it were not for the system's reminder, it would not have been discovered at all.
Compared with other areas, the feng shui here is the best.
One month has passed and we are a little closer to our set goals.
According to the system's estimation, the straight-line distance from the current camp location to the planned location is about thirty miles.
In just one month, she had already covered one-third of the distance, and in a few months she would be able to officially move into the Mystical Beast Forest.
Now that the location for living has been chosen, it's time to start building the house.
Since we planned to live there for a long time, we gave up the idea of building the house entirely with wood.
She planned to use rocks as the foundation, with the first floor still built with stones, and the second floor built with wood to prevent the invasion of wild beasts and moisture.
The amount of manpower and material resources required to house more than 4,000 people is not a simple number.
She has food in her space and enough manpower, but the rocks are a bit difficult to deal with.
There were many rocks in the mountains, but they were all of strange shapes and jumbles. Few were usable, so we had to rely on the large rocks.
Building a house requires craftsmen. Among the three thousand people selected by Jun Wansheng for her, there were only a dozen craftsmen, which was far from enough.
So she called the ten craftsmen out separately and asked them if they were willing to teach as apprentices. Of course, there would be wages and tuition fees, all of which she would pay herself.
"Each of you will be responsible for teaching two apprentices. The monthly salary is 20 gold coins, and the tuition is 50 gold coins. Of course, the tuition will only be paid once. What do you think?"
"Twenty gold coins a month, serious?"
The five people's eyes were shining with gold, and the shape of money was reflected in their pupils.
The taller craftsman asked, "Miss, after I teach my apprentice, can I teach others in the future?"
"Of course, the tuition fee may be lower in the future, but it will never be less than twenty gold coins."
"Okay, I'm willing to teach them."
The others also vied to agree, fearing that Jun Shutong would change his mind if they were a step late.
This little episode was within Jun Shutong's expectations. You know, they only earned five gold coins a month serving as soldiers under Jun Wansheng.
This would add fifteen gold coins to your pocket, and only a fool would not do that.
The reason why Jun Shutong offered such a high salary was that he thought he was just starting out and everything was difficult for him. The people under him were also working hard. These people were the first group of veterans who expanded the territory, so it would not hurt to pay them more.
In addition, it is also to prevent these people from having other bad intentions and causing trouble during the construction process, and it is also a disguised way to win over people's hearts.
Not only these craftsmen receive wages, but anyone who works under her also receives wages, and the wages vary according to their positions and abilities.
The only difference is that the orcs don't want gold, they just want food.
In Darcy's words, the ancestors of orcs all lived in the forest. Because they were unwilling to deal with worldly people, they had nowhere to use their money. Their wages could be in the form of food or other supplies.
No gold coins, just food, Jun Shutong couldn't ask for more.
They may not know that the amount of food that can be bought with one gold coin in the secular world is very limited, not to mention that now is the time when money is needed, so it would be best not to have gold coins.
What the orcs want is food, and she can exchange the gold coins for other supplies.
Back in the space, Jun Shutong drew a sketch of a house. She wanted to build the house on a tree like the elves, but she wandered around for several days and couldn't find any suitable big trees.
It’s not that there are too few sturdy trees, but that the terrain where there are big trees is steep, which is not conducive to building houses, and the trees in flat areas are not satisfactory.
In the end, she had no choice but to settle for the second best and build a house on the ground using traditional methods.
After arranging the various personnel to build the house, Jun Shutong stayed up for two more nights in the space before completing the blueprints.
In addition to the houses for thousands of people, she also planned vegetable fields, ponds, wells, kitchens, toilets...
Basically everything you can use in daily life is included, and as for other unexpected things, they will be gradually improved in the future.
When Jun Shutong handed the blueprints to the ten craftsmen, their eyes widened. Although they had not built many houses, this was the first time they knew that a house could be built like this.
A few days ago, when they learned that they were going to become masters, they were excited, not to mention that they could get such a high salary.
Originally, I thought that building a house would only require bricks, adobe, and wood.
According to the special terrain of the Mystical Beast Forest, the only thing left to do is to use wood. That's not difficult. Wood is the most commonly used material in civilian houses, so it can be said to be easy to get.
The ten people even discussed and came up with several plans overnight, but now that they saw the young lady's drawings, they had to change their ideas and thoughts.
This construction method using a combination of stone and wood was the first time they had seen it. It was both a challenge and a skill.
The drawings, terrain, and personnel had all been finalized, so Jun Shutong found Darcy and Mika and asked them to take him to visit the orc chief.
If you want more orcs to help, you need the support of the Kunda tribe's leader.
