Looking at Amy who was struggling to read under the candlelight, Aileen unconsciously showed a smile on her face, and then stepped forward to pick up Amy and let her sit on her lap to teach her study.

If Gudern was here at this moment and could check Erin's favorability panel, he would be surprised to find that her favorability level has been reached, and the follow-up note is - until death do us part.

Chapter 87 Murderous intention emerges, city wall construction (4k large chapter, first order requested!)

On August 1st, as the Jinyuan City auction begins at the beginning of every month, it always attracts many nobles or businessmen.

But this time the auction was more lively than before. In addition to the news about manganese steel in the auction, there was also news that a large amount of refined salt and high-purity crystal sugar were for sale.

This incredible news attracted various nobles from surrounding cities and sent people to attend.

Auction hall, a VIP room on the second floor.

The head of the Charlieson family, Gergil, and the head of the Lantega family, Bertaya, were chatting about the items in this auction.

Manganese steel, fine salt, crystal sugar, mysterious auction items, this Gudern is really unexpected, there are so many good things in his hand.

If we hadn't happened to encounter a caravan coming out of Qingyuan Town on the way this time, we would have been kept in the dark by this kid.

Gejir looked at the list provided by the auction house and threw it on the table with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

He didn't expect that the dandy good-for-nothing lord who only seemed to be interested in eating, drinking and having fun could hide so deeply.

Not only did he survive the assassination, but the scheming and methods he showed later made the plans of the two families a mess.

With the prices of these items, I think if you use tax issues to force him to step down this time, you may be in vain again.

Bertaya's tone was a little tired, but also helpless.

In addition, my people found out that Gudern is also sending people to look for Matthews. I'm afraid this guy is not strict with his mouth, otherwise...

Bertaya said and made a gesture of wiping his neck, and the meaning was very obvious.

I transferred Matthews to work near the Northern Desert. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for Gooden to find him, right?

Thinking of this, Gejir added another sentence.

Moreover, the amount of tax evasion has been kept with me, and the information reported is all true. Can Gudern have the extraordinary ability to smooth this account?

Bertaya secretly sighed at the stubbornness of his old colleague.

Don't be so confident. Gudern has already done something that neither of us expected. Since he can think of Matthews, he will definitely try his best to find him, even if it is close to the Northern Desert.

And we have always overlooked one thing, that is, that Gooden has been able to save the day from danger many times. Is this really his own strength or the strength of his family?

This matter must be investigated by the people above. We are too passive now. If it is the energy of the Gooden family, it will be a matter of time to find Matthews.

Being reminded by Bertaya, Gejir's heart suddenly tightened.

During this period of time, he was so busy that Gudern disrupted various plans, and he actually forgot about such an important matter.

I understand. I will send a secret message later to urge you.

Gejir also nodded slightly solemnly in response, and then thought about it and added.

Matthews is indeed a hidden danger. I will send someone to deal with it later to prevent the matter from expanding.

Seeing that Gergil agreed to his suggestion, Bertaya said with a sullen face.

Well, in this case, Gudern will have to pay the tax...but, I have a new idea...

Since Gudern is short of money to auction items, what do you think if we give him the remaining payment...

While speaking, Bertaya also made a cutting gesture.

How could Gezier, who had worked together for many years, not understand what the other party meant.

If they could really intercept the balance payment sent to Gooden by the auction house, they didn't know if Gooden could make up the tax.

But if such a large amount of cash is obtained, for the two of them, it will be able to purchase more equipment and food.

We'll discuss this matter later. Let's watch the auction now.

Gergil did not go into depth on this topic, although in this kind of VIP box, there was no risk of eavesdropping.

But what the two of them discussed were sensitive topics. If anything was revealed, the two of them would get into countless troubles.

The target of the two people's participation in the auction this time is the manganese steel that has been popular recently.

They didn't know that this metal came from Gudern at first, but now that they know the truth, and combined with the two mines they changed hands some time ago, they know that this thing must have come from there.

For a mine with such huge potential to be given to Gooden for free, they almost made them both angry to death.

They were still angry, but on second thought, if Gudern hadn't helped find this thing, I'm afraid they would have missed it.

Moreover, this mine is also within their territory. After the war breaks out, it will be easy to recover these two mines.

After thinking about it this way, the two of them felt less uncomfortable.

Now the purpose of the auction is to study this thing and see if they can find a way to make it to avoid being blinded after taking over the mine.

Offstage, the auction is in full swing.

On the other side, Qingyuan Town is also busy arranging work at this moment.

The work distribution of nearly 200 people, plus all kinds of business processing, made Gooden very busy in the morning.

Fortunately, the distribution work went as smoothly as planned, and all the recruited personnel were assigned to work.

After having enough manpower, Gudern did not bother to have lunch and went directly to the gathering place of the second construction engineering team of Qingyuan Town to announce the arrangement of tasks.

Regarding the lord's arrival, everyone quickly gathered to wait for the lord's arrangements and instructions.

Thirty of the fifty newly recruited workers were assigned here, and the remaining twenty were transferred to the First Engineering Team.

At the same time, ten experienced old craftsmen were transferred from the first engineering team to lead this group of new people in construction as masters. On average, one person would lead three new people.

Everyone who had assembled was still a little excited about Gudern personally arranging the tasks.

Of course, this refers to new workers who are still somewhat curious about their jobs.

After all, I haven't started working yet. Not to mention being assigned a house, my children can also go to school on the same day and learn to read.

And they also had an hour of study every night, and which kind of dinner was provided by the lord.

Under the temptation of such good benefits, I am afraid that more than half of them would be willing to take up arms and go to the battlefield.

Standing on the temporary high platform, Gudern looked at the people below and said loudly with some luck.

The Second Engineering Team was established for an important and sacred task. Your task is very heavy, but this task is the most important barrier to ensure the safety of Qingyuan Town.

That is, build the city wall!

Wow——

Building a city wall? How is this possible? With just a few of us, we probably can't even complete the process of cutting out the stones.

Lord, aren't you kidding? A project like building a city wall can't be done on the fly. Doesn't it take several years to start construction?

The people who were talking about it outside were all new recruits from outside. As for the craftsmen recruited locally from Qingyuan Town, they remained silent.

Quiet.

With a touch of magic, Gudern spread these two words that did not sound loud to the entire audience.

When the Lord Lord spoke, everyone quickly stopped their discussion, and the scene soon became quiet.

I know you will definitely have doubts and concerns about this engineering task, but these are not things you should worry about.

I have my own plans for the construction of the city wall. I will explain two of your doubts.

The construction of the first city wall does not require quarrying of stones, and the second construction task cycle is only four months. Although there are not enough manpower now, I will add new manpower to your engineering team in the next period of time.

Another thing to mention is that the four-month construction period can definitely be completed according to the plan. If you have any doubts, you can work for a month first. If you feel that I am deliberately making things difficult for you, I allow you to quit the engineering team and change to other jobs. superior.

The several points raised by Gudern made everyone present open their mouths and didn't know what to say.

The city wall does not use stones and the construction period is four months. Could it be that this is to renovate the outer wall of the lord's castle?

But what Gudern said next completely confused them.

The construction task of the city wall is a total of four sections of the city wall, each section is 1,600 meters long. The standard requirements of the city wall are three meters wide and six meters high.

You must know that the longest section of Jinyuan City's city wall is only less than 800 meters. When it comes to Gudern, it is doubled?

Is this going to build another city on the border?

Facing the dull eyes of everyone in the audience, Gudern was busy explaining the assigned tasks.

For the first month's task, you need to determine the planning base points of these four sections of the city wall and do the preliminary foundation pouring, and complete the construction of a section of the experimental city wall.

In the first month of the task, new members of the engineering team can become familiar with the cement and bricklaying processes as soon as possible. Veteran craftsmen, this task has to be left to you.

Yes! Lord Lord!

As soon as Gudern finished speaking, ten old craftsmen who were listening attentively shouted in response.

This response also frightened the newcomer No. 30. At this moment, they were a little confused. Did they make the wrong choice by coming to Qingyuan Town to find a job?

Peter.

Lord Lord.

This afternoon you will take everyone to the Construction Team 1 to learn, and let the newcomers feel the charm of cement and bricks.

Peter, the leader of the second construction team, raised his head and responded loudly.

Yes, Lord Lord!

In addition, the construction drawings and details of the city wall have been sent to you. You will study them tonight and start positioning measurements tomorrow.

The mission must be completed!

Peter promised with assurance, and Gooden nodded slightly. After arranging the task, he had to go to the Engineering Research Institute to take a look.

Regarding the scale of the city wall, Gudern also made careful planning and arrangements.

Now the first batch of five brick kilns have been completed. With the support of the entry, the daily production of bricks has reached an astonishing 500 cubic meters.

Although this output is not enough for the construction of the city wall, it is not that he will not increase the scale of the brick kiln in the future.

In four months, five brick kilns are built in one month. In two months, the daily output can be increased to more than 1,500 cubic meters.

As long as the output is increased to more than 1,000 cubic meters per day, it will be enough to meet the brick demand of the entire town and Qingyuan Town in the future.

Compared with the problem of bricks, Gooden is most concerned with the production of cement.
