Chapter 40 No one can stop me from developing infrastructure
As the son of the Duke, Brian cannot be said to be well-informed, but he is not ignorant either. However, Asaman's engineering team still amazed him.
The little nobles in Lansburg were even more amazed.
Since it is a welcome banquet, we cannot start by talking about the importance of the canal, but talk about daily life.
During the chat, Brian felt that Assam was not like a character suddenly made up by the system. He had a background and a relationship. And not only Asaman, these 2,000 people even had their own families.
This made Brian suddenly realize that maybe Assam and his engineering team of more than 2,000 people were real people who existed in the first place.
The system only acted as an intermediary, using the dead Viscount Horton to drag these people to Landsburg to build the canal.
If this is the case, then the items I got in the lottery before, such as the water cup that can cure hundreds of poisons, the knight's sword that can be enchanted, and the magic potion.
It is something that already exists in this world, rather than being created out of thin air by the system. It is just used by the system as a reward and given to itself.
If you draw a very precious item in the future and the original owner of the item discovers it, will it cause trouble for you?
Brian asked the question to the system, but there was no feedback from the system. As expected, this kind of plug-in can only be used as an auxiliary. It seems that the dependence on the system must be reduced in the future.
Asaman did not notice the change in Brian's attitude towards him. The meal was a feast for both the guests and the host. Brian also took the opportunity to sell wine from Suxi Town to Asaman.
Asaman didn't know whether it was out of politeness or because he really thought the wine was good, so he praised it repeatedly.
He also promised that if he could produce it, he would definitely send a caravan over to buy it in large quantities.
This put pressure on Mrs. Flitwick, and Mrs. Flitwick was not afraid of the stage. She promised that before winter, the winery would produce wine of a quality no less than what they were drinking now.
These were only verbal promises and no contract was entered into. But everyone in Landsburg still believed in Asman's character.
After the laboratory tests were completed, Brian brought Asaman, two engineers, and several important figures from the fort to the study.
Brian's time in Lanesburg was limited, and he had to work out a specific plan for the construction of the canal.
Asaman also came well-prepared and prepared a detailed map of the northern part of the Frankish Kingdom, which was even more detailed than that of Leisburg.
The map was spread out on the table, and everyone gathered around to see the clearly drawn canal route and supporting irrigation system.
The canal runs straight through, and the northern rest area of Landsburg enters the territory of the Merovingian family and connects to the Rhine River.
Asaman only pointed at the map and explained in detail to Brian.
"Based on Viscount Horton's request for the canal during his lifetime, our engineers developed a project plan based on the map. Of course, the specific excavation plan requires on-site survey.
Viscount Horton said that part of the canal will pass through the territory of an Earl, and he needs to communicate before he can dig it. I don’t know how the lord negotiated with the other party."
Suddenly he shrugged and said helplessly.
"Unfortunately, even if my father, Duke Horsman, came forward, the negotiation still broke down, but you don't have to worry. We can intercept now and start construction on the self-defense territory quickly. Count Moron's problem can be solved."
.
Since Lord Molewen doesn't want to be decent, then I will help him be decent.
I, Brian, have never been combative in my life, and everyone in the world thinks that I am weak and can be bullied. This is really a huge misunderstanding.
This time Earl Merovingian won't be able to get a penny, and he will also lose a piece of territory passed down by his ancestors, so you just have to wait patiently."
Although Brian's tone was gentle, the words he spoke made people feel the murderous intent. As expected, these great nobles were not easy to get along with.
Hearing this, which was tantamount to a declaration of war, the most excited person was Knight Munns, the friend of Knight Diers Horton who gave his wife and son to him.
Knight Munns, as the representative of the nobles of the Northern Territory, also followed Brian to the study.
It's not that Knight Munns likes war so much. Those nobles who like war have long since joined the expeditionary force with Viscount Horton and died in a foreign country.
But he knew very well that with the current military strength of the Landsburg Territory, it was impossible to provoke a count. The Duke must have sent people to fight this battle, and he had also seen the three hundred armored cavalry.
They are truly the best of the best. Only these 300 people can defeat the declining Merovingian family. The knights of Lansburg, like themselves, can only cheer from the edge of the battlefield.
Even in this war of lords, they, the little northern nobles, would be happy to get little benefit. They had long hated Count Merovingian, and had long wanted to fix Count Merovingian.
It would be great if they could carve out a piece of territory, at least they no longer have to deal with this annoying neighbor. It would not be a loss in any case, especially after the canal is repaired, they are the first group of people to benefit.
Regarding the disputes between the nobles, Asaman did not express any opinions. He was just a part-time worker. He just continued to introduce his canal construction plan.
But Brian interrupted him and said frankly.
"Mr. Asaman, I have no objections to the canal construction plan, but the canal that Horton consciously asked you to build can only irrigate the hilly areas in the north.
However, astrologers have predicted that the entire northern region of the Frankish Kingdom will experience drought this year.
Therefore, I need to build more canals throughout the viscounty to cope with the drought, so I would like to trouble you to make a new canal construction plan that can irrigate Lansburgh.
Especially Fengxi Town in the west, which is most short of water, and Fenghuang Town in the south.
Of course, I don’t mean to ask you to work for nothing. As the amount of work increases, I will definitely pay you more gold coins."
As he spoke, he poured the 10,000 gold coins given by Duke Horsman in the storage ring onto the map.
That hill-like gold was enough to reflect Brian's sincerity.
I don’t know whether it’s the effect of the system or whether Asaman himself is a person who values righteousness over profit.
Faced with Party A's unreasonable request to change the construction plan, he did not back down, or readily accepted the 10,000 gold coins but said.
"Sir Brian, you don't need to give me more gold coins. The value of the trophies Viscount Horton gave me before he died in battle is enough to pay for all the projects.
Moreover, the southeastern direction of Landsburg is bounded by the Lem River. I dug canals directly there to divert water to irrigate the fields. It didn't require much manpower, but it just took a little more time.
