Chapter 631: Build Roads First if You Want to Be Rich
The food that Su Yu had people send over could last them at least half a month.
However, he did not distribute all the food, but asked them to come and get it every three days.
It is spring now, but the weather is still a bit cold. The clothes they wear are very thin, and they have to burn charcoal if they want to sleep well at night.
Su Yu transferred several people who knew how to make charcoal from the city and asked them to teach the villagers how to make the most basic charcoal, so that at least they could be self-sufficient.
If there is any excess after burning, the men in black will collect it and sell it to give them silver, which also helps them to have an additional source of income.
"What is the city lord looking at?"
The Black Protector followed Su Yu out of the Tiger Camp and saw Su Yu standing motionless on the side of the road.
Su Yu stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Tiankui City, then looked towards the entrance to the Northern Wilderness.
“We have to build a road.”
Once we have filled our stomachs, we can build some infrastructure.
She had wanted to do it before, but had never started it, mainly because the crop yields had not yet increased at the time, so in order to prepare for a rainy day, she did not start such a large project. After all, building roads is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
"What kind of road does the city lord want to build?"
There is no cement concrete here, so only stones and bricks can be used. The demand for these raw materials must be huge, and it is difficult to obtain them from nature alone. She wondered if she could burn blue bricks and use them as the main material.
Su Yu asked the Black Protector to keep an eye on the situation in the Tiger Camp, while she took her people back to Tiankui City.
As for the matter of finding wasteland, leave it to Cheng Ming.
After a period of recuperation, Chu Yun's body has almost recovered.
Now Su Yu still left some of the complicated affairs in the city to him.
After Su Yu returned to the city, he called Chu Yun over.
"Meet the city lord."
Su Yu motioned for him to stand up.
Chu Yun knew that Su Yu was fine but he just wanted to come over. "What instructions does the city lord have?"
"I plan to build a road in the Northern Wilderness. What do you think?"
Chu Yun was stunned. "Build a road? Where does the city lord want to build it from?"
Su Yu took out the map of the Northern Wasteland and spread it out on the table, "The place where I drew the red line."
Chu Yun walked forward and saw that the area marked with the red line was a bit wide...
"Why did the city lord want to build a road? Is it because he thinks the current road is difficult to travel on?"
Su Yu tapped the map with his fingertips. "In the past, I just thought that after arriving here, I would have a place to settle down and live in peace. But as the development has gradually progressed, since we have accommodated so many people here, we can't just let them go around in circles in this small place. We must always develop and move forward. Standing still is not the way to development."
Chu Yun was so smart that he understood Su Yu's meaning as soon as he heard it. "The city lord wants people from outside to come in, and things inside to go out."
"Yes, but the Northern Wasteland is a wasteland. If there is no guiding road, it will be somewhat inconvenient."
If there was a road leading to the outside, the things they produce here could be sold better.
For the long-term development of the Northern Wilderness, she felt that having a road would be much more convenient.
Chu Yun hesitated for a moment before saying, "I understand what the city lord means, but it's not that easy to build this road."
A large number of workers and materials are required, which is a huge expense.
"Well, I know that it doesn't mean that we have to build all the roads right away. We can take our time and start with the section from Tiankui City to Tiger Camp."
Chu Yun saw that Su Yu had made up his mind, and felt that this was indeed a good thing for them, so he asked, "Does the City Lord want to explain this to the others?"
Su Yu nodded, "You go and make the arrangements, and then find someone who can make green bricks. After the discussion, we can get ready to start."
"yes."
After several days of discussion, the road construction was finalized.
Su Yu wanted to build a road because the iron ore had already been mined, and having a road would make transportation more convenient.
If you want to pave the road with blue bricks, you have to burn them.
Su Yu personally led people to find a large piece of vacant land to build a brick kiln.
You also need to get a lot of clay, which is an essential material for firing blue bricks.
Su Yu asked Qiao Yang to take people to look for clay every day. The more the better. They would dig it up and put it away, and then filter the clay to make embryos after the kiln was ready.
On the other side, Zhou Wei also arrived at the border of Jin State and met up with Lord Wang.
When Lord Wang saw Zhou Wei, he immediately knelt down and apologized.
Lord Wang is Xie Rui's confidant. He must be held responsible for Xie Rui's current situation, but now is not the time to hold him accountable. It will not be too late to settle the score later after rescuing him first.
"Third Master, I have sent several groups of people to gather information, but no definite news has been sent back yet. I only know that there is a big city in the Northern Wasteland, and His Highness is likely to be imprisoned in that city."
Zhou Wei drank a sip of hot tea, his brows knitted together, "It's been so long, and you still haven't found out where His Highness is. It's just a wild place and you can't even handle it."
"Yes, it was my incompetence. Please forgive me, Third Master. I thought it was a barren place without a master and dared not offend His Highness. Who would have thought that these fearless people would kidnap His Highness?"
"What did you give them both times?"
Lord Wang took out the list sent by Su Yu.
After Zhou Wei looked at it, he asked Lord Wang to prepare some cloth and food.
"What is your plan, sir?"
When the adults sent things before, they wanted to send someone to take the opportunity to get information, but the people they sent were discovered by the other party.
But apart from this, it is difficult for them to find any other way to infiltrate the enemy.
"Get the things ready first, and I'll send someone to do the rest."
"Yes, yes. I'll have someone prepare it right away."
Lord Wang did not dare to delay and prepared everything that night.
"Send a message to them, show them goodwill, and let them think we are afraid, afraid that His Highness will be hurt. It's okay to make it clear, just let them think that they have hit our sore spot and we can't do anything to them and can only let them manipulate us."
Lord Wang didn't know what Zhou Weixian was doing, but he still did as he was told.
After receiving the message, Green Protector was about to give it to Su Yu, but on the way he ran into Qiao Yang who was looking for Su Yu.
"Where are you going?"
Qiao Yang called out to Green Protector.
Green Guardian had no expression on his face, and said in a formal manner: "Meet the City Lord."
Qiao Yang glanced at the note in his hand and asked, "Who sent it?"
The Green Protector said nothing, silently indicating that he didn't want to pay attention to him.
"How come you are still like this after all this time, can you please behave like a good person?"
