The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

58.

"No, I don't want to..."

The witch flatly refused.

"..." Anna thought for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, but you know, it's impossible to hide this for long, and there's no need to hide it."

"What do you know?" The witch didn't take it seriously, but insisted on her own idea.

"I don't want to see her! I didn't come for her."

Anna showed a little puzzled expression, but she didn't mean to pursue it further.

Left and right is a matter between the witch and Rapunzel, and has no direct relationship with her, and there is no need for her to get involved in the entanglement between the adoptive mother and daughter.

Maybe it was because the follow-up matters were agreed upon, and the system finally gave her relevant reminders.

As one of the "princesses" in fairy tales, Rapunzel naturally has related ordinary tasks.

However, unlike Cinderella and Maria's first-stage missions, for Rapunzel, the first-stage mission is not "understand" but "help".

In this way, Anna has in her hands Alisa, Maria, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Dorothy, five common missions in the princess series that have already clarified the relevant missions. Counting the series of Rapunzel, there are six.

But Little Red Riding Hood has not completed one yet, maybe because I am not very familiar with Little Red Riding Hood, the progress is only up to the first one.

【Ding--】

[The system prompts that you have triggered a common task: Learn about Little Red Riding Hood (1), click to view the details. 】

Here, because the content in the early stage is relatively simple, you can only get gold coins, and Anna has been very busy recently, so she didn't move forward.

The most advanced is Cinderella's Cinderella series of tasks, which has reached the follow-up of the second stage, and has related ideas for further development. In other words, although Maria's Snow White series of tasks were triggered first, Anna has been Not sure how this should be done.

On Rapunzel's side, Anna didn't have much idea yet.

But she thought about it, maybe she could wait for Rapunzel's child to see if she could officially start her life smoothly, and then let Rapunzel decide what she was better at.

For Cinderella, it was because Anna simply felt that she had the relevant ability after working in Oran for a period of time, so she arranged this job for her.

Because of the existence of witches, Anna had to shorten the time of patrolling the territory in the afternoon.

On the one hand, it took a lot of time to talk to her. On the other hand, a witch lives here. Even if her subjects didn't say anything, the servants in her lord's mansion are of high quality, and they didn't show any inappropriateness. place, but the fear in my heart is still there.

In particular, the witch of Rapunzel is very typical, she is the most evil kind of appearance in everyone's recognized concept, and her character is so unapproachable, and she speaks very rudely——

Not at all the same as Little Red Riding Hood's retired grandmother witch.

So this led to everyone's fear of her being even heavier.

Even if Anna knew that she couldn't move anything, she couldn't do evil in her territory, but this kind of psychological thing couldn't be changed by her at will.

It will take at least some time, during which she must take into account the mood of the citizens.

While greeting the citizens with a smile, Anna was thinking about reasonable arrangements for Rapunzel's adoptive mother.

She remembered that not far from the lord's mansion, there happened to be a hut. The hut was originally built to be used as a warehouse, but in the end there was a bigger warehouse. With the help of Paul's construction team, the original small The house is no longer necessary—

Then let Catherine take someone to arrange it, and arrange that house for this witch who is not close and has been trying to hide from the world.

It just so happens that there is a vacant field nearby, and the Territory Unified Field is not far away. It will be much more convenient for maintenance or supervision.

"...Oh, I understand."

While thinking about it, Anna responded to the leader's words.

Next to her is Judy, who has been with Anna as the clerk's assistant.

She would quickly record down any suggestions or comments made by the citizens, or any praises they had.

This kind of progress is very slow, because there are many people, everyone has a lot of things to say to the lord, and the opportunity is very rare.

Originally, it was enough to send a representative, but after thinking about it, it would not be very good. Besides, there are not many people in the territory, and the number is only a few thousand.

Anna is willing to spend a little more time listening to the ideas of the citizens, which is a lucky thing for everyone.

The first thing she went to was the big one-story house. Here lived a group of people with the worst living conditions in the territory. They didn't have their own houses, and they didn't have enough food and clothing to avoid the cold. , they can get a better winter than before.

Anna is most worried that some people will cheat and embezzle these things, which are mostly the living supplies of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. She also hopes that they can live a better life.

Although they don't have any labor force at present, this is not what they think. They have also made their own contributions to this place. Anna should arrange a good ending for them.

It goes without saying that the people here are loyal to Anna.

What makes her happy is that a large number of people's illnesses here are incurable due to hardship and poverty, not the kind that are really hopeless——

Under Dr. Tang's treatment, and after Anna paid the corresponding expenses, the health of many of them gradually improved.

After raising them for half a winter, it seems that they have improved a lot. They rely on simple manual labor and other collective work to earn a small decent here and support themselves well.

Anna was happy for them from the bottom of her heart.

After seeing this place, Anna felt much more at ease, and Cinderella handled it very well when she was not around.

Of course, she would not doubt the kindness of a princess. Unless it is a negative teaching material, most of the protagonists in fairy tales-they are naturally full of sympathy and love for this kind of low-level people. Cinderella can fully understand Anna's arrangements and arrangements in this regard. .

After passing through almost residential areas, I learned about the situation of several handicraft workshops that are still operating in the territory.

The handicraft workshop does not rest in winter. When everyone is not working, it is inevitable that they want to spend some money or have fun. This is the time when the handicraft workshop should make money, so they are very busy , and the operating conditions are also very good.

After seeing several handicraft workshops in operation, including taverns and tailor shops, and knowing that five or six families wanted to apply to open shops after the spring, Anna felt even happier.

And this time there are more categories. In addition to selling different types of handmade food, there is also a hairdresser who is talented and said that he wants to set up a smaller hair salon; shop, as a daily supplement to the blacksmith's smelting; there is also a handicraft shop that says it wants to open a carpenter furniture handicraft.

In addition, there are two other shops that sell rattan and straw weaving, which do not overlap with the original ones in the territory. It seems that they have discussed with each other.

In addition, some citizens mentioned that they have talents related to fishing and weaving nets.

Some people asked if it is possible to build a fishpond, and there are also people who are capable of raising fish and aquatic products.

There are woods and water in the territory, and it doesn't look like it is too barren to open a farmer.

Anna kept this matter in mind, just as Rapunzel was waiting for the pregnant girl, it would be even better if there were fresh fish and shrimp besides custard, so as not to have to wait for traveling merchants to come to sell them every time, and it might not be possible Buy high quality.

For sea ports, you may have to go to District [-] or District [-] according to the map.

Now that Anna hasn't even finished the second and third districts, she doesn't have the time to think about going to sea for the time being.

Not to mention ships and the like, it is really unthinkable to even think about it now, even a small broken ship is impossible, let alone a luxury cruise ship.

There are also forestry and orchard planting, which have been written in the plan but have not been developed, can also be brought along.

Anna just felt that the talents in her territory should not be wasted like this, and all of them must be arranged as soon as possible——

It is best to make some goals for this year, and we must implement all of these.

"How?" Paul followed her.

As the captain of the construction team, he has special "permissions", he can talk directly with Anna, walk together, etc.

After seeing the big bungalow and the handicraft workshop, she wanted to take advantage of the night to go through several built buildings together.

The quarry is already in use and has just recently resumed work.

The nearby stone processing factory also had a prototype, and the drawings were provided by the system. Anna was not worried about this at all.

She glanced at the inventory of the warehouse, and there were already two warehouses piled up on the stone side. If it was arranged, there would be five warehouses on the quarry side, and ten warehouses on the stone processing plant side.

The positioning of stone processing is relatively broad. There are mainly two types of output. One is the stone used in building materials, making floor tiles, or simply making stone bricks; the other is more finely crushed, similar to Raw products for gravel roads or cement that may be needed in the future.

There are still some intermediate uses, but they are temporarily vacant. When building this No. [-] stone processing plant, the main functional positioning is in the first two. If there are other needs later, you can build a second one of the same type. factory.

At present, the main focus is on a process from scratch, production capacity and so on.

"Very good, you have worked hard." Anna said with emotion.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Mr. Paul scratched his head and asked again, "Would you like to stop by to see that metal smelter?"

"The seven dwarfs, they said that the ore is mostly hematite, which produces iron. We followed the plan given by the designer and imitated the stone processing plant to make a prototype of a smelting plant, but we still feel... Maybe it's not good enough. something."

"Any questions?"

Anna was puzzled, and Judy beside her was recording quickly.

The blueprint of the smelter was not drawn out and given by the system, so in the end, the architectural designer on his own territory could only do it based on some previous experience and drawings, but both he himself and Paul, the construction team, felt that there was something wrong with it. some problems.

But I can't tell where the specific problem is, I just say that if such a building is made, the effect will not be very good——

Anna automatically translated into the game language:

Professionals implicitly hinted to her that there were problems with the designed drawings, and the built buildings might not be put into use.

"Then stop for a while."

Anna said immediately.

"Don't worry..." Anna is actually not too sure, but according to her previous experience, she should be given a reward when she completes a certain task. That's how there were so many high-quality seeds in her warehouse before. of.

Therefore, if a building here is completed, but the blueprint of the iron metal smelter has not been issued, then the next building is completed, and it is likely to be opened.

The difference from the game is that in reality, although the system is a dog, for example, the completion time of the same building has increased significantly, and various aspects such as manpower and material resources need to be considered. It is not like the game that throws enough resources and there is a system. It is done automatically, but correspondingly, the rewards given by the system will be more "practical".

She has progressed so far, and she feels like this.

Most of it is what she lacks, and the rewards that will be issued after the next task is completed will be related to what.

Otherwise, what's the use of this broken system?

"Ok."

Paul accepts this statement.

"Let's go to the mineral warehouse first." Anna smiled, comforting Mr. Paul, "The labor force of the seven dwarfs is amazing, and I am also curious, if the time passes by, will the entire warehouse be filled? .”

There are 15 ore warehouses built, just considering the labor force of the dwarves, and before Anna left, they had already started working hard, and then worked for a while.

The dwarves belonged to the type whose hands would itch if they didn't mine for a while. Although they lived alone, they would never be too far away from the mine, and they had been working hard.

As soon as the holidays are over, they resume their work.

Of course, during the holidays, they bought a lot of wine at the Old York Restaurant, drank very happily, and got closer to other people in the territory.

"Twelve rooms are already full." Anna and Paul were a little surprised.

"This warehouse is not small, it can be filled to the brim?!"

On the one hand, Anna felt that her hoarding habit was greatly satisfied, but on the other hand, she couldn't help feeling anxious that this "sufficient resource" could not be "consumed".

Of course, most of them are amazed by the labor ability of the dwarves.

It is also a warehouse, and the quarry in charge of the human workers who have already started work has just been filled with a few rooms...

But there are only so many dwarves, even if there are other miners responsible for transporting things, they still can't underestimate their mining ability, so the pile is almost full.

"You guys are doing great!"

Anna gave the seven dwarfs a thumbs up.

They also heard that Anna was coming, and all seven of them came out of the mine together.

Seeing her straightforward praise, several people felt a little embarrassed.

In the end, the youngest dwarf wearing a purple scarf offered Anna a bouquet of small wild flowers that he didn't know how to preserve or find. They were in winter, and they didn't know where they found them.

Although it was already a bit listless, Anna accepted it happily and expressed her gratitude.

It was almost time, and seeing that the sun was about to completely set, several people walked back together.

The smoke from the kitchen had risen quite a bit, and every household was busy preparing for dinner. This kind of scene full of life atmosphere made Anna's expression soften in an instant.

Because it was on the way, Anna took a special look at her city defense area.

She could recall the ghost ball Xiaohui at any time, but according to the will of the little gray beast, it decided to stay and take care of the ghost grass.

Maybe the old grass is easier to survive, anyway, under its care, these things grow very well.

Ghost grass is not easy to grow leaves, but they grow in clusters, and it is easier to survive within the range of group living, rather than a single tree.

"That being the case..."

Anna and Paul walked back.

"I'll go back and give you the blueprint of the magic garbage treatment plant. This is relatively complicated, but since you have even completed the construction of such a sophisticated defense tower, the work of the magic garbage treatment plant should not be difficult to complete. I will assist you when the time comes."

"sure no problem!"

Mr. Paul agreed and bid farewell to Anna at the place leading to the residential area.

Anna and Judy walked towards the lord's mansion together. Now it is rare to relax a little, and they can breathe a little bit more.

"Aren't you going to see the defense tower today?"

"I won't go." Anna replied, "It's too hard, I feel like my throat is going to smoke, and I haven't finished walking the residential area, only a part of the first area."

"It's because you love us enough that you work so hard." Judy replied with a smile. Now she is not as shy as before.

"If it were any other lord, when he arrived at this place, he would probably just leave everyone behind and not care about the life and death of the people. Only you have been working hard to develop this place."

"Hey, I've heard a lot of compliments today." Anna laughed.

"However, speaking of it...it's rare, I feel the most comfortable here."

"Don't look at how prosperous the royal city is, and how beautiful the royal palace is, but it's not safe to stay there."

"It's not as good as our developing Oran District [-]. It feels like this is the best."

"It's like home." Judy couldn't help but reply.

"It's great that you think so." Anna smiled, "I think so too."

"Are you going to..." Judy said hesitantly as if remembering something.

"Ask whatever you want." Anna walked with her hands behind her back, anyway, they were the only ones going on this road for the time being, and they were the only ones going to the Lord's Mansion.

"When will the second district be managed? There is still the third district."

What Judy asked was actually a question in the hearts of many people, such as Cinderella, etc. They were all concerned about Anna's interests, and naturally hoped that it could be resolved as soon as possible.

"Soon." The smile on Anna's face subsided a little, her eyes darkened slightly.

"Let it hang for a while."

"When I came back this time, I also brought many rewards from the king. Apart from those for Maria and me, there were also subsidies for Oran as a whole."

"It was only after I went back this time that I realized that in the past many years, so many economic aids and subsidies from the state finance of the Kingdom of Lore to the entire Oran region were all directly allocated to the second district."

"In the past, there were actually human settlements in four districts in Oran, but now there are three districts, but for more than ten years, only the second district has received the greatest help. Besides, the use of the money cannot be said It's perfectly clear."

"Theoretically speaking, so many financial subsidies are all given to the second district, and a small town should be developed, but the second district is just a better village now."

"This account will have to be checked again at that time."

"But anyway, the money subsidized this year has changed its name, and all of it has been directly assigned to my name-I am the lord here, and Oran no longer directly belongs to the king of Lore. Naturally, there is no king to give money to the poor. The relevant financial subsidies in the region are only the 'pocket money' that a father gives to his daughter."

Anna smiled slyly:

"The money in this name no longer exists, but the king did not withhold it, but gave it to me directly along with other rewards given to me. It belongs to the lord who gave it to me. How do I spend..."

"I haven't read the accounts of the second district, but I guess they may have been relying on this financial investment. Only with this money can they attract so many merchants to come and maintain the local economic development—"

"That is to say, the development on their side may not be benign, but was sucked by the middle. This financial may be fed to some nobles with enough appetite—"

"Since they dare to eat, I must make them pay the corresponding price."

Anna smiled and comforted Judy who didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, the king also agrees with me on this point. He has long suspected that there are problems and deformities in some developments here, not just because of local poverty and undeveloped resources."

"When I have time later, I will deal with it."

"I estimate that they will last until this summer at most. Maybe after the beginning of spring, the problem will come out."

Anna's plan did not go ahead.

It can be said that most of the arrangements made before have been disrupted.

The entire Oran area suddenly fell into unprecedented difficulties.

A sudden blizzard swept across the entire territory.

From the evening of the 25th to the noon of the 26th, there was heavy snowfall during the period, coupled with gusty north winds, the wind was very strong.

At noon on the 26th, it stopped for a while, and after the sun came out for a short while, it counterattacked again in a more swift and violent manner.

This time it wasn't just heavy snow, but some hail was also mixed in.

Such a ghostly weather has never been seen before.

Anna and Maria hid in the room together, looking in shock at the scenery that they would never see in the royal city.

"It is said that the snow in the northern country is even more exaggerated than this!"

"Especially during their polar night hours, that's an exaggeration."

"Adventurers passing through the North Mountain over there may sometimes encounter sudden snowstorms of this magnitude."

"But I didn't expect that such snow would fall on us in Oran."

Catherine served two cups of hot milk, which was a treat with lettuce.
