Chapter 39: This is called professionalism

Brian, who was waiting in front of the castle gate with all the nobles in the territory, was curious about what the engineering team he got in exchange for 1,000 achievement points would look like.

It can't really be just a bunch of construction workers. Without large machinery or special abilities, they can't complete the construction of the canal within a month, let alone build a canal.

Soon, groups of carriages appeared in front of Brian's eyes, at least several hundred in number.

Thinking about it, since the system provides a foreign engineering team, it is definitely impossible to come on foot.

Far away, Asaman saw a group of nobles greeting them at the city gate.

The system set him up to be a powerful businessman with a profound background, but his background was not in the Frankish Kingdom.

Originally, Asaman wanted to hook up with Viscount Horton and expand his business here. Unexpectedly, Viscount Horton died in battle.

Whether out of morality or to continue his own plan, Asaman still found the Viscountess and chose to fulfill his obligations.

When Asaman knew that the territory had been entrusted to Lina's heir, Brian, the Duke's son, he actually refused in his heart.

Asaman has come into contact with many children of such great nobles, and they all appear to be condescending, but in fact they have no ideas and no real abilities.

It's okay to let them fight, but they can't even understand the blueprints when it comes to construction.

Even though Aunt Lina kept emphasizing that Brian was a good boy and would humbly accept Asaman's opinion and completely entrust him with the construction of the canal, Asaman still felt uneasy.

It wasn't until Asaman saw Brian leading a group of nobles to greet him at the gate of the castle that he was sure that this young son of a duke really valued him.

Just like his good friend Viscount Horton, he does not look down upon himself because of his status as a businessman.

He quickly came to Brian and saluted him first. Brian returned the greeting politely and then said sincerely.

"Mr. Asaman, you are finally here. We are grateful to you for fulfilling your promise, and we are very happy that Viscount Horton was able to meet a friend like you before he was killed.

As the heir of Lanesburg, I will definitely fulfill Viscount Horton's last wish and fully support you in building this canal to benefit the people of Lanesburg."

Asaman also said with a sincere face.

"Sir Brian, please rest assured that the people I brought here are very professional in constructing various water conservancy projects.

No matter what request you make, I promise to complete it for you within one month to comfort Viscount Horton’s spirit in heaven.”

"Just call me Brian. We'll talk about building the canal later. Take your people and quickly enter the castle to rest."

Fortunately, Landsberg is big enough to accommodate these hundreds of vehicles and more than two thousand people, which is nothing at all.

Asaman greeted the hundreds of carriages to slowly enter the castle, and Butler Karl cleaned the vacated castle barracks, just enough to accommodate these people.

Asaman and important members of his team returned to the castle hall with Brian to attend the reception banquet held in their honor.

After all, the number of people in the hall is limited, so it is impossible for everyone to attend the welcome banquet. The remaining people are enjoying the sumptuous lunch prepared by Butler Karl in the castle barracks.

During the dinner, Brian couldn't help but curiously asked Asaman, who are these more than 2,000 people?

Assam did not hide it and directly talked about the composition of his engineering team.

It was really an eye-opener for Brian. Assam had 10 water conservancy engineers who could conduct surveying and draw canal design drawings.

The hydraulic engineers of this era are certainly not as good as those in Brian's original world, but they can still be considered intellectuals, and those who can gain knowledge are not ordinary people.

These 10 water conservancy engineers were also chatting freely with the Lansburg nobles, and they did not show any restraint. They must be descendants of the down-and-out nobles. Now they only have a surname that was once glorious.

There are many such people even in Lanesburg, and Brian does not pay too much attention to them. Without Brian's help, the Flitwick family would probably only have one noble surname left after two generations.

What really surprised Brian was that there were twenty-three magic apprentices in Asaman's team who had drank the spiritual potion.

These magic apprentices can only cast simple earth magic. They can only be beaten in battle, and they may not be able to defeat even a junior knight.

However, if you prepare in advance and use earth magic, it will be absolutely detrimental to the construction of the project.

A slope of more than ten meters was formed in an instant. No wonder Asaman dared to boast that no matter what kind of project, it could be completed within a month.

It turns out that this is not the workload of the workers, but the magic preparation time of these twenty-three magic apprentices.

Others relied on manpower to dig canals, but he directly used superpowers. How can this compare?

It's really a luxury to have a magician do the work of a serf.

Originally, Brian thought that the operation of the system was quite ridiculous, and 1,000 achievement points were really worth it, but when he thought about it, it was indeed feasible.

These magic apprentices were forcibly matured by the spiritual enlightenment potion and no longer have the talent to continue to develop. Instead of working as slaves for magicians, it is better to make some money with their existing magic abilities.

Is it possible for me to build such a team? After all, although spiritual enlightenment potions are expensive, I can configure them after I become a magician, and the cost can be greatly reduced.

It doesn't take too much. As long as hundreds of such magic apprentices are trained, it will be absolutely amazing to start construction projects.

It is definitely not possible to face the enemy head-on on the battlefield, but when used as an engineer, it is a hundred times stronger than ordinary people.

Even Brian thought it was a feasible plan, but he didn't know why the other nobles didn't do it. They decided to go back and discuss it with Duke Horsman before deciding whether to do it or not.

Of course, these are not all the reasons Asaman dares to boast about Haikou.

Asaman's greatest confidence comes from the fact that he has dozens of alchemist apprentices in his team.

The so-called alchemists are not magicians, nor do they have any magic power. They are more similar to chemists. The only thing these apprentices in Asaman's team are best at is preparing alchemical items similar to explosives.

The most important thing in building a canal is digging the soil. If you directly use explosives to open the canal, it will be twice the result with half the effort. The efficiency is dozens of times that of digging with shovels.

Those magicians only need to use magic to raise the height of the dam at the appropriate time.

As for the repair work of canals and ditches, it was left to the skilled workers brought here.

Brian carefully analyzed the construction process of the Assam engineering team.

Engineers were first used to design the blueprints of the canal, and then explosives were used to dig the canal. Magicians instantly pushed up the banks on both sides.

Finally, skilled workers will be hired to handle the aftermath. One month is enough to build a 100-kilometer canal.
