Next, Egil asked about his road network. He was told that the road connecting Brittany and Normandy had been repaired, and most of the roads connecting England, Scotland and Wales were built on the British Isles.

What worried Egil the most was the transportation route connecting the Jutland Peninsula Rhine, northern Saxony, Melania, Prussia, Liwania, and Neu Scandinavia.

After more than three years of hard work, all these areas in the north, which belonged to the main body of the European continent, have fallen into the hands of Egil. From the map, it looks like a bow. The border is vast and the body is very small. In this way, there are indeed more directions to attack. But the same is true for defense.

Egil led the Norman army to expand its territory, and many people offended them. He had fought with Burgundy, the Holy Roman Empire, Lithuania, and Novgorod. Although the first two had temporarily formed an alliance, the latter two did not show obvious hostility. However, Egil was sure that as long as the conditions were appropriate, these countries would definitely not mind taking a bite on Norman's territory.

Especially the Holy Roman Empire. Of course, I don’t know who is right or wrong about this matter. Egil exchanged Bo Melania and all the territory of the Jutland Peninsula by assisting Frederick in ascending the throne of the emperor. After that, the Norman Cavalry swept across North Germany and conquered countless cities.

Before this, these cities were occupied in the name of the Crusaders. At Egil's suggestion, Artoria often wooed the nobles in these territories. Both nominally and in fact were reasonable.

Speaking of which, this is also one of the reasons why Frederick agreed so quickly to join the Catholic Union and form the Crusaders to fight to the Eastern Rome. In this way, he could just take over these so-called "crusaders occupied" territories. At worst, he could slightly divide out several castles and enthrone a few earls, etc. It was harmless.

Yet Egil wanted more than that.

Bremen, Hamburg, and Lubeck. These three important towns, Bremen and Lubeck are important commercial cities, while Hamburg is an important fortress connecting Germany and Denmark. In Egil's mind, it doesn't matter if other territories are given to Mitre. Anyway, with the current strength of the Norman Kingdom and the diplomatic strategy that focuses on fighting with the Eastern Roman Empire, they are unable to swallow up most of North Germany, such a large territory.

However, from land to connect Jutland Peninsula and Bo Melania, these two cities, a castle Egil is determined to be!

In this way, the conflict between him and the Holy Roman Empire and Emperor Digu Frederick was irreconcilable! In fact, if it were not for the delay of the war with Eastern Rome, Frederick would have already launched an army to attack "the boy of the northern barbarians". Speaking of which, the period when the conflict between Frederick and Egil was publicized was also the third batch of envoys sent to Artoria to ask for the three cities but failed. And I heard that the Normans had built a large-scale construction to build roads between these cities.

By the way, the overall highway between these areas is ten meters wide. It is also a composite two avenues, one is specifically from east to west, and the other is specifically from west to east. The management and maintenance are all under the care of professionals. Of course, there are tax cards for road maintenance, and I mean that the toll stations charge people. One place is set up every 300 kilometers. The price is fair and the same. Whoever dares to embezzle Egil dares to kill people.

Let me mention that the money for road construction comes from the five million Florinian gold coins that Egil blackmailed the Roman Catholic Church.

The length of the entire road network is more than 1,200 kilometers. Fortunately, there are few complex terrains such as forests, mountains and hills on the ground passing through. Therefore, it seems a little easier.

In addition, some cities have already connected the road network, which saves a lot of effort. Therefore, the entire project only requires 7.5 million gold coins.

After hearing the system's offer, Egil was very surprised to find that he had no feelings for this number. At that time, Egil's admiration for himself was like the surging Mediterranean Sea. When he was still competing for the King of Norway, he built an inter-provincial road connecting Bergen and Biard, which cost 100,000 gold coins. Egil was clamoring and shouting "Rotter!" However, now, Egil just said "Oh" and felt that it was not the case at all.

Thinking of this, Egil admired himself for his death. The priceless index rose much faster than the point coupons or something.

In addition to this extreme bunker’s path, the matter of Piaotianyi is.

That is, the artificial canal that runs through the entire Jutland Peninsula.

Although it is very good to charge Err to tax the Ore Waterway. But time is money. Now the traffic volume of Err taste can no longer fully meet the trade in the prosperous Err Noyan Kingdom. At the same time, the Jutland Peninsula was completely obtained by Err, and it also meets the prerequisites for building a canal. The canal is built nearest the mainland of the Jutland Peninsula, which runs through the Boluo Sea and the North Sea. It can also shorten the time for crossing the two seas by more than three days.

And the price only costs 1.5 million gold coins! Only 1.5 million gold coins! Egil and Aurora talked a little and the price dropped to 1.49 million! It was 9.9% off! It was so cost-effective?

Today, according to Aurora's report, the entire canal has been completed by more than one-third.

I guess there is no problem, it will be completed by the end of this year.

Immediately afterwards, Egil asked how the development of the education system in the territory has been going on in recent times. The answer I got was very pleasant. In the entire territory, more than one-tenth of children of suitable age have been sent to primary schools. There are a total of several thousand people. Egil expressed gratitude for this.

There was only a little problem. The paper required for reading and writing was insufficient, and parchment rolls were used. Even a scum like Egil could not do such a luxury. Papyrus is not much cheaper than parchment because of the raw materials. 1 If children want to practice reading and writing, they can only use sand to make paper and branches to make pens.

Speaking of this, Aurora asked: "Can you start trade with the East faster?

Some printing and papermaking techniques were introduced from Arabia and what?”

"Speaking of this kind of technology cannot be studied by yourself?" Egil asked.

"So, give the ancient empire some face, the emperor." Aurora said with a little helplessness: "After you are a Chinese, you've been in your previous life."

"Whatever you say," Egil said indifferently: "I don't even know what the East is like now. Maybe they are still in the primitive tribe state of slash-and-burn farming. "Then there is no silk, no tea, and no porcelain." "There is no silk, no silk, no cotton, no tea, and no water, no tea, no tea, no water, no porcelain, no porcelain, no pottery, no matter." Egil continued to shrugged: "Speaking of paper,

Printing, compass and so on are all delivered by the Arabs. So it is not as good as maintaining respect for pagans. This is the basic principle of being a Catholic."

"Okay, I really lost to you." So Aurora was speechless: "Anyway, you can do it yourself. Now the framework of your empire has basically been laid. But if you want to develop further, it will be very difficult to do without a large-scale cultural heritage." Aurora said insincerely.

"Maybe." Although he said this, Egil directly eliminated all the things that were unfavorable to him, and only remembered the praise of "the frame of the empire was laid." Egil was still very happy. And his mood was naturally felt by Aurora, who could detect everything in his heart.

"Of course, in my opinion, your empire is missing something." Aurora said.

"What is missing?" Egil asked.

"Of course, heirs who can inherit his will." Aurora replied naturally.

“……………………………, I’ll ask.”

"Please say it."

"I have been cutting people very hard recently, and I have saved up more than 500,000 points. So, a healthy, talented and loyal heir, how many points can I get to exchange for one?" Egil asked.

"Well, do you want to obtain an heir through the system? There is no way. Just insert your "beep, inside my "beep, and then do the piston movement until the cold war. Repeat this action a few times, and then you will have it after ten months. Of course, it is not guaranteed whether it is good or bad or not."

Egil discovered for the first time that his shamelessness was not high enough. This time he was actually teased.

After Aurora said this, Egil felt no interest, and took out his pocket watch and looked at it in the moonlight. It was already the second half of the night.

"Forget it, let's go to bed." So Egil took this excuse and temporarily sent Aurora.
Chapter completed!
