As a person who has seen countless shows in his previous life, Lawrence naturally knows how to do some things. To give the simplest example, the original purpose of their trip this time is to relax, but the external publicity
At that time, the publicity was that this was an overall inspection of the territory.
Of course, this statement is not a lie. Because Lawrence and the others do plan to inspect the territory. After the large-scale construction a while ago, Lawrence and Saifei also hope to see with their own eyes the aftermath of the construction.
What are the achievements, rather than just understanding these things from the side through a lot of documents.
According to the plan, they will first check the grain storage warehouse located in the north of New Saul Port. After checking, they will board the boat from the small dock attached to the warehouse and go up the river to the hilly area where the Tauren tribe is located. Finally, they will go down the river.
Return to the Niujiao Bay territory along the newly opened land passage and visit the settlement inside the mountain where the people currently live.
It was early in the morning when Lawrence and the others set off, and apart from Lawrence and Saphire, the only one in the team was Nora. Because they felt that everyone was busy at this time, and there was really no need to work so many people to create a scene. Not to mention from a safety perspective
It is said that Nora can be regarded as the top combat force on the island. Going out with her is actually much safer than going out with hundreds of guards.
The most important thing is that Lawrence and the others are not the kind of traditional hereditary nobles. Their previous lives have made them very comfortable with this kind of travel, and they can handle various situations along the way. There is no need to go out like some nobles.
Same, you have to bring hundreds of servants with you.
And according to the family tradition, the Earl of Sauer has never been the kind of people who like to show off. Even if the old earls went out before, they would only bring 1/10 of the entourage of many nobles with them. So in Lawrence
When he announced that he was going to set off with Veneto and Nora, the retainers did not express any objections. They just informed various regions of the news that they were going to inspect and asked them to prepare for the reception.
When riding horses through the streets of the city in the early morning, Lawrence and the others discovered that even though the sun had not yet come out, there were still many people on the streets who had already begun to walk hurriedly through the streets under the illumination of street lamps, preparing to
They went to their respective stations and started working. At the same time, the food stalls on the roadside had also started operating at this time.
With the development of the island's economy, the original collective canteens have begun to no longer meet the needs of some people. In addition, with the development of the island's agriculture, the food supply has gradually become normalized. So now, in addition to various
In addition to public canteens in enterprises and collective farms, various catering businesses have also begun to appear.
Lawrence naturally welcomes such development, because the emergence of these small commercial economies means that the island's economic level is in the process of development. And he has always believed that for the development of the island's economy, he only needs to grasp the core
Industry is enough, there is no need to cover everything.
"Why don't those gas lamps or biogas lamps be used on the island?" Nora suddenly became interested in the street lamps on both sides of the road, but after she flew to the street lamps and looked around, she flew back and asked Lawrence. "It feels like the ones used now
This fish oil lamp is not as bright as those lamps, and it doesn’t smell as good either.”
"But this is the only option we have now." Lawrence explained after noticing that Saifei also showed a puzzled expression. Unlike most of the surrounding islands, he quickly put in place public facilities after solving the basic survival problems.
The construction of urban areas was placed in an important position because he believed that these public facilities were conducive to the establishment of order. Instead of waiting for the town to naturally develop to a certain level before establishing order, it was better to establish rules from the beginning.
Under the guidance of this idea, he established a series of public service systems such as the most basic medical care, public security, and public water sources in the first stage of entering the island. For example, he established hospitals and planned water storage in many areas of the city.
Pools and corresponding wells were constructed, and a police force was established using those immigrants who had experience as military police officers as the backbone.
The construction of street lights was also one of the first basic public service projects, because in Lawrence's memory, if there was lighting at night, the overall security would be significantly improved. At the beginning, he originally planned to use the most fashionable gas lights now.
Or similar biogas lamps were used for lighting, but later it was discovered that the island is now lacking everything. At least these fuels have a more important role than lighting, such as roasting dried fish and floss or boiling water.
The situation regarding drinking water hygiene has always been one of the most critical issues on the island, because a large number of diseases are spread through unhygienic drinking water. So since landing on the island, Lawrence and the others have made it mandatory for all
Drinking water must be boiled and sterilized, and drinking raw water is absolutely not allowed.
Because of this problem, there are only a small number of biogas lamps and gas lamps distributed in factories and farms on the island. Fortunately, with the step-by-step upgrade of the island's fishing industry, the by-products of this industry, a large amount of inedible fish oil, are finally being used
Can provide enough fuel for those street lights.
And because there are professional sanitation and cleaning personnel in the urban area, the streets are also very clean, without the dirty feeling common in those colonies. The cleaning work of the city also forms a part of the island's epidemic prevention work like the boiling water. After listening
Lawrence and the others explained, and Nora nodded. Then several people rode along the clean and tidy streets towards a small stone hill in the north of the city and rode over there.
This stone mountain is located on the edge of the river in the city, about two to three hundred meters away from the river. At first, Lawrence and the others planned to build some navigation facilities on this mountain. But after inviting a group of rat men over,
After exploration, they discovered that this hill was actually an extinct volcano with a large number of cavities inside and magma channels connecting these cavities.
After discovering that this place was very solid, very close to the river and convenient for transportation, and because it was not near the river and the mountain was made of hard basalt and the interior was very dry, Lawrence and the others decided to slightly modify the interior of the hill and build it into a grain storage warehouse.
.After all, such a permanent grain warehouse that requires only a small amount of engineering work is far better than the temporary warehouse built using wooden boards as originally planned.
The first stop of this trip is here. In addition to being at the mouth of the river and making it easy to take a boat, the most important thing is to show everyone on the island that we attach great importance to the food issue through this behavior. Because we have already informed you in advance.
Because of the passing, Lawrence and the others came here to verify their identities and were quickly welcomed in.
After a simple inspection, Lawrence and the others can confirm that the grain is very safe to store here. And because the grain harvested in the first season is relatively small, only a small part of the granary is occupied by that grain. The larger part is
It's all for nothing.
"Someone once suggested using these empty spaces, such as renting them out, but this plan was rejected by us." said a rat superman who accompanied Lawrence and the others. Considering that an important enemy of the granary is rats.
, and the guards of this granary need to be on duty in the cave for a long time. So Lawrence specially invited rat men to strengthen the defense of the granary. The person who is talking to Lawrence about this matter now is a rat man official who is stationed inside the granary.
"Well done." Lawrence nodded with satisfaction. After all, a place like the grain warehouse is too important, so reducing the number of idle people entering is very important from all angles.
