Celestial Mage

Chapter 256 The Times Are Taking Great Strides Forward (44)

Although Crescent Town currently has no shortage of tall and spacious buildings, there are still many deficiencies in other aspects.

For example, in terms of high-end luxury goods, the only thing Rosen can afford at the moment is a moon carriage given to him by the Earl.

To receive distinguished guests, it is natural to use this bright moon carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage is very spacious, and it doesn't feel crowded when four people are seated.

After a while, Rosen, the Moreau couple, and Bernard Shaw got into a bright moon carriage, and under the guard of a group of silver moon rangers, they drove out of the Lord's Castle and slowly drove on the spacious streets of the town.

It can be seen that the main street inside the city wall has been solidified, and the houses on both sides of the street have also been constructed, [-]% of which have started business, and the rest are still being renovated.

As the carriage walked, Rosen introduced.

"This is the central horizontal road, running east-west. In addition, there is a central vertical road running north-south."

"The two avenues each lead to the gate of the town, and all the shops that directly face customers will be concentrated on these two streets."

Lord Morrow looked at the shops along the street, and found that all of them were spacious, bright, and atmospheric, and the width of the street was more than ten meters, enough to accommodate four carriages driving side by side.

He couldn't help asking: "Will all the ground in the town be petrified?"

"Correct."

"When it rains, where does the water go?"

Rosen pointed to the independent petrochemical cover in the style of a ground grille.

"Look at those covers. Below is the drainage pipe. The rainwater will flow out along the pipe and be sent directly to the downstream Moon Creek."

Lord Moro just looked at the ground, looked at it for a while and said, "I found three types of covers, is there anything special about them?"

Rosen introduced carefully.

"The white round cover is a water purification cover. The domestic water drained from the upstream reservoir is buried in a shallow layer to ensure cleanliness. The cover is added to facilitate daily maintenance of the pipeline."

There was no need to add a cover, but there is no waterworks these days. Although a sedimentation tank has been specially set up upstream, the water is not particularly clean after all.

After a long time, the pipeline will still be blocked, so it needs to be maintained from time to time.

Mo Luo immediately asked, "Will someone poison you then?"

Rosen nodded: "I also thought of this, so I set up various drug testing instruments in each hub and before entering the house."

"These poison detectors are very sensitive, and they will sound an alarm if they are poisonous. Moreover, there are also special mages who are always paying attention to this."

Lord Moreau was relieved: "Master Rosen is really thoughtful."

Rosen continued to introduce.

"The black round closed one is the sewage cover, which leads to the sewage pipe. In order to prevent pollution to other places, the pipe is buried in the deepest part of the ground."

"And all these pipes lead to every household in the town, supplying domestic clean water, but also taking away all kinds of domestic sewage."

Mrs. Moreau immediately clapped her hands: "Ah~ what a great idea, this way, the town won't be stinky."

Lord Moro considered the cost: "Then the road is not full of pipes underground, how long will it take to dig?"

Just thinking about it made his scalp explode, and he felt like he would have to throw in a huge amount of gold kroner to finish the job.

Rosen smiled: "Of course it won't work by manpower, but don't forget the spells, Lord."

As he spoke, he looked at his chief apprentice: "What spell do you think should be used?"

George Bernard Shaw thought about it seriously: "The mud technique turns the hard soil into soft silt, and then uses the shaping technique, or let the craftsmen use a spoon to scoop it up."

"Yes, just do it."

He looked at Lord Moro: "Using this method, the cost and time of excavation can be reduced to one-twentieth of the original. Of course, this method must employ a lot of mages."

After Lord Moro heard this, he spread his hands.

"That's why you can invite so many mages. The mages who have enough reputation in the highlands don't have this idea, and the young mages who have this idea don't have the prestige."

Rosen smiled: "If the lord intends to transform his own town, he can also directly hire the construction mages I trained. The price is not expensive."

Mrs. Moreau loves cleanliness very much, and deeply feels that her town is not clean, so she is very interested.

"Then how much is it?"

This is a customer asking about business, so Rosen will naturally count her carefully.

"A mage like this only needs 5 to 20 crowns a month. If you hire 300 people, your town can be remodeled within a month, and the cost is only 20 crowns based on the highest [-] crowns."

"Maybe it's not cheap, but after spending this money, if you walk out, you won't be afraid of stepping on dirt."

Where does Rosen's income come from?

Naturally, it came from the civilian mage.

Because the other party wanted to use the petrified building technique, he had to buy his petrified mithril staff, which cost 10 crowns a piece, and after using it 300 times, it would last about half a year.

Rosen calculated carefully, using this method, one-third to one-fifth of the construction income of commoner mages can be distributed, and there is basically no risk.

Mrs. Moreau was very excited immediately. After all, after saving the large consumption of building a new castle, their family can easily spend [-] crowns.

Looking at his wife's expression, Lord Morrow knew that the money was definitely spent. He shrugged and pointed to a very huge building in the distance.

"That is?"

"Crescent Hotel, built by petrification, 5 floors, [-] rooms, just for the formal mages who come to me to take classes to rest."

Mrs. Moreau immediately asked: "I see that many people came just now, are they all here to take your math class?"

Rosen nodded.

At this moment, Bernard Shaw on the side said: "It is said that La Farea College also intends to offer a flow course, but it has not yet found a suitable flow instructor."

Mrs. Moreau just laughed: "Son, do you know how lucky you are now?"

Bernard Shaw nodded again and again: "Before I came back, Mr. Alder said that I was very talented and advised me to stay in school, but as soon as I mentioned the name of my tutor, he immediately stopped talking."

Lord Moreau was naturally very happy, but he was more interested in Rosen's income, so it was naturally not easy to ask directly, so he secretly estimated in his heart.

He had heard people say that Rosen's class cost five kroner per session, but just now there were more than 300 formal mages, and that one session was 1500 kroner.

Considering that Rosen must give a lot of lectures a year, and it can be expected that more and more mages will come to attend the lectures.

Then his one-year lectures are a huge income.

After counting this, he felt envious in his heart, but he also knew very well that this was money he would never earn.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Knowledge is good~ After sitting in class and talking for a while, a lot of money will be credited."

His eldest son and second son are both warriors, and now he feels that he has not been trained well.

"Fortunately, I still have a young son."

At this time, the carriage tilted slightly, but drove up the large city wall around the town along the large ramp.

The city wall is 15 meters high, the bottom is 15 meters, and the top of the city wall is also 10 meters wide. It is much more magnificent than the city wall of Silver Moon Castle. When the carriage is driving on the city wall, it is also very stable.

Lord Mo Luo was full of emotion: "Oh, with such a city wall guard, even a giant dragon may not be able to break through it?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Dragon is a legendary race, this thing can't stop it."

The phoenix is ​​already difficult to deal with, but the dragon family is even more difficult to deal with.

According to the ancient war records recorded in the temple, the Golden God spent a full 200 years in order to expel the two-headed dragon king Lakonde and his descendants.

Long distance and close attack, combined vertical and horizontal, and all tricks were used, which reduced the cost of expulsion to an acceptable range.

According to Rosen's analysis, if the front is strong, the strength of the Golden Gods and Dragons is estimated to be six to four, and they can win, but they will be disabled after the fight, and they will be picked by a third party.

After the carriage drove for a while, Rosen said, "The battlements are too high to be seen clearly in the carriage. Let's get out of the carriage and walk?"

"my pleasure."

Several people got out of the car and walked along the spacious city wall.

Soon, a group of people stopped at the inner city wall and looked down at the scenery of the whole town from top to bottom.

Although the town has not yet been fully built, except for the two sides of the main road, which is horizontal and vertical, and the rear is still under construction, but the general appearance of the town can already be seen.

Mrs. Morrow was full of emotion: "I can feel that the completely completed Crescent Town must be an extremely beautiful place."

Lord Moro also nodded: "I thought it would take at least three or four years to get on the right track, but I didn't expect it to only take one month."

"Now it seems that my knowledge has fallen far behind the times."

A group of people went to the outer city wall again, looking at the scenery outside the town.

Outside the town is an endless pastoral field, and countless farmers are working hard to reclaim their land.

Looking from a distance, a large number of fertile fields have already taken shape.

On the other side of the Yuexi River, another group of people gathered there.

Bernard Shaw asked curiously, "Mentor, what are you doing there?"

Rosen explained with a smile: "The Xinyue Reservoir is being built, and canals are being dug to divert water. Without water, it is difficult to grow food."

Lord Moro looked at it for a while, made a rough estimate, and said, "I have learned about the terrain of Crescent Town. If we really want to reclaim it all, it is estimated that there will be about [-] labang fields outside the town."

Rosen nodded in agreement: "The lord's estimate is very accurate, roughly this much, but it must not be fully mined."

George Bernard Shaw asked curiously, "Why don't you reclaim it?"

His father gave the answer: "Because there's no one."

Rosen nodded: "There are too few people in Crescent Town, currently less than [-]."

Because of the turmoil, those who were in poor health were basically exhausted, so the average number of households was less than four, and the total number of households was 800. One household opened five rams of land, which was already the limit.

In fact, the area of ​​Xinyue Town is relatively large among the six towns of Huangshui, but because of its remote location and a large amount of woodland, the population has not been able to increase.

Now, if it is managed well, after a few generations, it is estimated that it can rise to more than [-] and become a big town in the highlands.

Of course, Rosen is not prepared to wait a few generations, he has plenty of ways to attract people.

But these cannot be clearly stated, so as not to touch the psychological red line of Lord Morrow.

After all, every lord is very sensitive to the number of people in his territory, and he does not want the free people to move out of their territory.

Lord Moreau looked at it for a while, his face full of emotion.

"Master Rosen, with a lord like you around, it's only a matter of time before Crescent Town prospers. The northern barrier of the highland is considered solid."

Speaking of the northern barrier, he asked, "What about the fortress?"

Rosen just laughed: "Master Hal has taken a group of construction mages and about 2000 townspeople to the north, and is currently building a city wall on the top of the Luoxue Mountains. It is expected to be completed in half a year."

"The city wall on the top of the mountain?"

"Yes, it's 30 meters high, 20 meters wide, and 100 miles long. It will block the entire northern part of Xinyue Town and set up beacon towers. Any attack will be discovered immediately."

"At that time, the troops stationed near the fortress will be able to ride fast horses and gallop all the way along the road on the top of the city wall, ensuring that support will be in place within an hour."

Lord Morrow's head was blindfolded.

"Isn't it only a fool to attack such a high city wall?"

"What if there are really fools? And the ice dwarves are particularly good at digging, and we must guard against this point carefully."

"Well, there is indeed a possibility. But having this city wall is enough to make me feel at ease."

He was worried about his son's safety before, but now it seems that his son's staying in Crescent Town is probably safer than staying in Fanggu Town of his own.

It is estimated that the dragon is really coming, and it can be blocked for a while, right?

Of course, this has to be a ground dragon that can't fly.

Afterwards, the group visited the meeting again, then boarded the bright moon carriage again, and returned to the Castle of the Lord of the City.

On the carriage, Lord Moreau talked about business.

"Fubos is a little aware of the change in the situation, and has been frequently visiting the major families in the highlands recently."

"Me, my father-in-law, the Lafingue family, the Sano family, and even Demitran, he has all visited."

"He promised great benefits, saying that as long as he supports him, he will change the agreement of the great lords and distribute more benefits to the barons."

Rosen also probably knew about it, and it was Patsy who reported it, but he didn't know the details.

Seeing what Mo Luo said at this time, he felt that Fubosi was like a sleepy wolf, and he was destroying the foundation of the Omisia family.

Rosen said softly: "To be honest, Gaodi's interests are only so small, there is no future at all by changing the agreement."

"You have to go out to really make a lot of money."

Furthermore, the great lord agreement has been implemented for more than 700 years, and a solid profit distribution pattern has long been formed. How can it be so easy to change?

Even if it is changed, it doesn't make much sense, it is nothing more than earning [-] before, but now it has become [-].

Mo Luo nodded: "I think the same way, and I can feel that Fubosi's vision is still completely stuck in the old era. Following such a lord, there is absolutely no future."

He tried his best to keep up with the changes of the times, otherwise he would not have fully supported his sister in refining medicine.

Rosen wasn't worried about him bouncing back, so he asked, "What did Mr. Du Meng say?"

Mo Luo just laughed: "My father-in-law is a businessman rather than a lord. He is greedy for big business in the Eastern Region. How could he be tempted by such interests."

Rosen understood.

With the rapid development of the times, the aristocratic lords have become less and less concerned about the benefits of land, and have gradually changed from land aristocrats to commercial aristocrats, and even capital aristocrats.

He was completely relieved, and asked about the potion workshop.

Mo Luo said: "Let's take another month. After one month, the workshop will be built."

The workshop was built in Fanggu Town, and it was built remotely by Vivienne.There's no other way, she doesn't dare to leave Crescent Town now, for fear that Fei Lun will mess with her.

Rosen said, "Then I'll order 200 tons first."

One ton costs 150 SEK, and 200 tons is a super large order of [-] SEK.

Mo Luo raised his eyebrows: "Master Rosen, it seems that you have made a lot of money recently."

Rosen laughed: "Indeed, it's quite a lot, but it's interesting for everyone to make money together, isn't it?"

"That's right ~ hahaha."

Mo Luo also laughed out loud, and the last worry about the potion workshop in his heart completely dissipated.

Because even if the potion does not sell well in the future, Rosen still has the bottom line.

When he returned to the courtyard of the lord's castle, as soon as he got off the carriage, he found two more groups of people looking for him.

A group of alchemy equipment workshop 'Precise Balance' from Suiye City should have shipped the ordered alchemy laboratory equipment.

The other group came from Winter City, to be precise, from La Farea College.

Lord Mo Luo said: "Master Rosen, you can go and get busy. I am also busy with the territory, so my wife and I will go back."

Rosen had no choice but to apologize, and after sending the Moreaus away in a hurry, he took the young Bernard Shaw to the backyard and temporarily handed over to his wife to settle him down.

He hurriedly found Gendroni again, and she was in charge of the alchemy equipment.

I went to receive the envoy from La Farea College.
