When Laura began to purchase large quantities of high-end carpets, mattresses, and beddings, Winter Town continued to develop at a high speed.
As the Winter Fortress with Fort Glamorgan as its core begins to take shape, the internal transportation planning scheme of Winter Town has also been formally established.
Four main roads extending in different directions will finally meet at the intersection of Winter Fortress.
Different from David's original plan, the intersection of the three main roads heading west, east, and south was set at the square in front of the south gate of Winter Fortress.
This is because the south gate of Winter Fortress is the only main entrance to the city center and Fort Glamorgan. Three main roads converge here, making it easier for people coming to Winter Town to find the correct gate.
"When these roads are planned, we can start building the craftsmen's own houses."
David looked at the drawings in front of him and chatted with Van Cleef about the next construction plan.
"Everyone has been looking forward to this day for a long time, right?"
Van Cleef showed a heartfelt smile. Since arriving in Winter Town, this was the first time David had seen such a smile on the face of the former leader of the Stonemasons Union and the founder of the Defias Brotherhood. p>
It was a relaxed smile of relief. It seemed that he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Everyone will be very happy when they hear this news."
During this year, the craftsmen have always maintained a high intensity of work. Although they have no worries about food and clothing here in Winter Town, they can also decide relatively freely where to live: if you don't want to live in a big wooden house together, you can also build it yourself.
A small house, where you live alone with your wife, children or close friends.
But there is still no wages. Everyone works so hard solely because of the "beautiful future" that David promised before.
If this situation continues for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be no problem. Fortunately, David previously allocated fields to the craftsmen.
These united craftsmen did not choose to take leave to cultivate farmland individually. Instead, Van Cleef allocated manpower to be responsible for cultivating farmland.
In order to maximize the interests of the craftsmen, Van Cleef mobilized almost everyone in the team who knew agricultural knowledge to open farmland, and even some women who were family members picked up farm tools and went into battle.
The results are gratifying. Although the current Lord of Winter Town, Baron Glamorgan, did not provide everyone with wages, the Lord allocated fields to everyone.
According to the work efficiency of the reclamation team, when Cold Winter Town is built, each of them will be allocated a large amount of land. Even if they don't know how to farm, they can still hire farmers to help them farm the land and become small landowners with peace of mind.
.
Now, the new home built for the lord has been completed, followed by the municipal building and some public facilities in Winter Town, and then everyone's own residence.
According to the current standards of Winter Town, their new home will no longer be the simple wooden house before, but a more solid mixed structure: wood, masonry, concrete, and steel bars will all be used.
Judging from the design drawings, these houses are not only beautiful in appearance, but also extremely practical. In addition, each house will have water, electricity and heating, making it very comfortable to live in.
When it comes to choosing the type of house, almost everyone chooses a two-story or three-story building design, while some people want a street-facing shop plus housing design.
Before long, these small buildings will become the most important building complex in Winter Town.
"According to the plan, the first batch of housing is concentrated around the farmland area and in the residential area southeast of the fortress."
David's idea is that the farmland is located in the southwest, and the southeast is the main residential area.
Although the plan is this, the residential area cannot be all residential, there will definitely be shops, restaurants and the like; and there will also be various shops in the farm area, especially those selling various agricultural supplies.<
/p>
So this plan is just a simple and rough distribution. When everyone has to divide their houses like now, they know where to build their houses.
Most craftsmen have chosen their new homes in the southeastern residential area, relatively close to the two main roads in the east and south.
Minority
On the other hand, I chose the agricultural area, maybe because I wanted to be closer to my own fields;
Many of these people have already negotiated with several partners to cultivate the farmland of several people together. One of them will be responsible for management, and the others will do other work.
"After everyone has a house, Winter Town will end this centralized management state." David did not deliberately hide this news, and even deliberately released some news.
Eva, Jonah, and Van Cleef all contributed to this matter and helped David receive a lot of feedback.
Although farmers and craftsmen in the town are not too dissatisfied with the current unified management model, they do look forward to ending the current situation as soon as possible.
When they heard the news, everyone looked forward to it, and no one expressed concern.
"Have your craftsmen figured out your next plan?"
"Some people want to be farmers with peace of mind, and some want to continue to be craftsmen." Although Lindong Town has completed an infrastructure construction, everyone feels that with the strength of Lindong Town, it will continue to develop in the future.
There will be no shortage of people coming to settle here. As craftsmen, they are certainly not short of work.
"Let's do this. When the basic construction work in Winter Town is completed, I will hire craftsmen to build some facilities. Can you count how many people are willing to take this job?"
"Sir, what kind of building do you want to continue building? A city wall?" Van Cleef felt that maybe Diggers would be more suitable for the job of building a city wall.
Some craftsmen want to become comfortable small landowners, but they feel that with the help of diggers, craftsmen may not have too many jobs to take on in the future.
But David wouldn't think so. The Diggers are indeed powerful, but David needs them to build relatively large buildings such as power plants and water plants. As for ordinary houses, shops and the like, the Diggers are at best responsible for providing
Building materials, and work such as digging a foundation.

For specific construction work, craftsmen are more suitable, especially the internal details, which are more convenient for human craftsmen to do.
"No, it's to build hotels, churches and more residential buildings."
David pointed to the residential area he planned. There was a reason why he designated this area as a residential area.
"I plan to continue to build more ordinary residences here. All kinds of houses can be built, and even basic furniture must be prepared."
"Sir, are you building so many houses to provide for the people who will come to Winter Town later?"
There are currently not that many people in Winter Town. David built so many houses in preparation for absorbing more people, and Van Cleef also has an understanding of the general situation on the northern plains.
Not long ago, his daughter Vanessa Van Cleef was recommended to David by himself, and she followed orders to go to several surrounding villages to find out information.
"It is prepared for new civilians, but it will not be provided for free." David indeed hopes to absorb more people, but he is not prepared to give too many benefits to the newcomers.
Now people in Winter Town can divide their fields and houses, but those who come later will not have this benefit.
They did not contribute to the construction of Winter Town, so they are naturally not qualified to take advantage of David. Although these houses have been built, the new residents cannot live in vain and have to pay. Z.br>
"Either you directly pay to buy a house as your new home; or you can find a job in Winter Town and pay rent to rent a house."
Of course, David also took into account some practical situations, that is, many people who came to seek refuge with him might not be able to live happily ever after.
Therefore, the benevolent Lord Glamorgan will not just watch these precious people being wasted. As a lord, he will provide loans to these newcomers so that they have the basic guarantee to live in Winter Town.
.
This loan is not only money and food, but also includes low-cost rental housing, agricultural tools, seeds, etc. New farmers can use these things to cultivate land, and then repay the loan in installments until it is paid off.
As David talked, he jumped from urban planning to the reception of new residents in the future. Van Cleef tugged at the corner of his mouth speechlessly, and finally brought it up.
A suggestion: "Sir, I think you need to form a suitable team to help you deal with various internal affairs in Winter Town."
David, who realized that he had gone astray, nodded slightly awkwardly. He also realized this problem.
He had already decided on his choice: Elizabeth's father, Mr. Weatherby-Swan, was an excellent choice.
Weatherby-Swan manages Port Royal well. As an internal affairs officer, he is quite good. Hiring him as his own administrative officer is the most reliable choice at the moment.
Just when he was thinking about talking to Wetherby Swann, Gareth Stanton suddenly came to see him with two soldiers, accompanied by Arcee.
"What happened?"
"Sir, just now, the village chief Amamandis of Tieshui Village led 20 soldiers to invade the southern border of Winter Town."
"Then..." When David heard the tone of Gareth's report, he knew that the matter had been resolved. He was now reporting the specific situation to himself, not asking for instructions.
"Our soldiers who patrolled the southern outpost issued a warning, but the village chief of Amamantis ignored it. In accordance with your previous instructions, the soldiers called for air support."
"Oh..." David understood why Arcee also came together. Arcee is Winter Town's air support - if Arcee is not here and goes to other worlds, he will take care of this job himself.
"I rushed over immediately after receiving the communication and found that this group of people had crossed the border and was preparing to attack our soldiers, so I opened fire."
Gareth Stanton looked very strange when he heard this. He took over the conversation and continued to report: "We fought with the people of Tieshui Village for a total of ten seconds. The village chief of Tieshui Village, Amamamantis, and his 20 soldiers all
It was wiped out; one of our party was slightly injured... because he did not wear a helmet during the patrol, and his forehead was grazed by stones blown up by the missile."
