　　Chapter 43 If you want to be rich, build roads first

　　 Bruno has a complete set of plans for road construction.

　　 And the slogan "If you want to get rich, build roads first" is by no means empty words.

　　 Backward transportation will hinder the progress of the local area's transformation of resource advantages into economic advantages, and it will also become a bottleneck for social and economic development.

　　 In Bruno's view, the roads are like the blood vessels of the Idar Neck, which can connect every part of the Idar Neck together.

　　 Bruno plans to build four roads.

　　 One connects Idar City and Cape Saltworks, one connects Idar City and the harbour terminal, and the other connects the Harbour Terminal and Cape Saltworks.

　　 These three roads just form a triangle, and they are also the core areas where Bruno will focus on development.

　　 As for the last road, and the most important one, it connects Stranglethorn Vale, Idar City and Mann Fortress.

　　 Stranglethorn Vale guards the western portal of Idar, and is the most important channel between Idar and the inland of the empire.

　　 At the same time, Stranglethorn Vale is also the most important supply line north of Mann Fortress.

　　 After crossing the Stranglethorn Vale from west to east, Idalian to the north, and Mann fortress, the important frontier fortress of the Norman Empire to the south.

　　In peace times, there are often merchants traveling between the Kingdom of Basel and the Norman Empire on this road, and this is the most important reason that prompted Bruno to decide to build such a road.

　　 In Bruno's view, it is simply unreasonable that Idarling has not built a road between Mann Fortress and Idar City in these years.

　　 After all, besides the nobles, these merchants can be regarded as the richest group of people on the mainland.

　　 Having money means having the ability to spend, and having the ability to spend means being able to create a source of income for Idarling!

　　 Therefore, Bruno plans to build a road from Stranglethorn Vale to Idar City, and then from Idar City to Mann Fortress.

　　 As for the trail that originally directly connected Stranglethorn Vale and Mann Fortress, I am afraid that there will be a large number of bandits from now on.

　　 The robbers rob your way, what is it about Idar?

　　 Even though he said so, Bruno only dared to let the "robbers" plunder the merchants. As for escorting the imperial army with heavy food and grass, Bruno would not be so stupid to touch this mold.

　　 However, one is a muddy mountain trail, and the other is a convenient concrete road. The low-level officers who have long been intoxicated by the glory of the empire and are increasingly decadent, I am afraid they will not hesitate to choose to go to Idar City for a glass of ale before leaving.

　　 It is also for this reason that the nine production teams (the first eight and the one made up of the gangsters) will all be invested in the great cause of road building after supplementing their staff.

　　 Due to the need to stimulate the economic development of Idar City, Bruno decided to build this road connecting Stranglethorn Vale, Idar City and Mann Fortress first.

　　 When the serfs in the production team heard that a major project had come again, they were all eager to try, screaming to work.

　　 Working hard to earn work points, but the serfs can really turn over and sing!

Obviously, the forty-five serfs released by Bruno at one time gave them a great stimulus. Perhaps the supervisors may not be accurate in the statistics, or perhaps the rough rules made the serfs who should have been released as civilians did not. Pardoned, but none of this hurts!

　　 Bruno really gave these serfs hope!

　　 Therefore, in order to encourage the serfs to work harder, Bruno announced to the serfs that they would continue their last promise, and forty-five serfs will be pardoned on the day the road is completed!

　　 Inspired by Bruno, the road connecting the three places is being paved almost at a speed that is visible to the naked eye...

　　 But it is a pity for Bruno that the day when the gangsters leave is coming soon.

　　 With the arrival of the second letter, the day for escorting the gangsters to build the idol has been set.

　　 Therefore, I am afraid that the road will not be repaired for a few days. These easy-to-use and obedient gangsters will be sent to the imperial capital to undertake the task of building statues (Note: see Chapter 2 for details).

　　Krell and his father were lucky to be the first serfs to be released as civilians.

　　 Until now, he felt like he was dreaming.

　　A nobleman would actually release his serf?

　　 So the dark clouds that have hung over me and my family for decades have disappeared?

　　 Although I still feel unbelievable, but the fact is.

　　 According to Bruno's arrangement, the serfs who were released as civilians will still work in the production team.

　　 It's just that a separate production team composed of civilians will be formed, and they will work as civilians, and they will be able to receive remuneration!

　　 Twenty copper plates a month!

　　 No more, no less, just to support yourself with your own strength.

Of course, once the serfs who were released as civilians have found a better way out, or they have enough copper plates to rent a piece of farmland in the hands of Lord Earl, they can completely apply to leave the production team and live with other Idars. Live like a commoner.

　　As the captain of the third production team, Creel also received an extra reward from Bruno-a house in the city of Idar.

　　Although this house is only located in one of the most inconspicuous corners of Idar City, the area is not large, not even a small courtyard, but...this is a house after all!

　　 No matter what age ~ www.novelmt.com~ a house that can shelter from the wind and rain will not be cheap, and my lord even gave it to him lightly.

　　 "Krell, we must work hard and do our best to repay the Lord's kindness!" Looking at the house in front of him, Krell's father exclaimed.

　　 "I think so too, father." Creel said, "Now that we have been released as civilians, do you have any plans next?"

　　 "Planning?" Creel's father lowered his head and thought.

　　 This feeling made him feel very comfortable. After all, when he was still a serf, where did he get his turn to think?

　　 The serf is nothing but the private property of the nobles. What the master wants to do is what he has to do.

　　 But now, I can decide my next destiny. This is a long-lost feeling.

　　 Because for him, the last time he thought independently was decades ago.

"Maybe I will earn some copper plates and then rent a field?" Creel's father replied with some uncertainty: "I plan to discuss it with everyone when I go to work in the production team tomorrow. Actually... even if it is. It’s nice to stay in the production team all the time..."

　　 Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at his son and asked: "What about you? Krell? What do you think?"

　　Krell pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at his father with piercing eyes, and said firmly: "I want to join the army!"

　　 I would like to ask you if you need to use parentheses to mark the source of the plot with a long time span in the text, if you don’t need it, then you won’t mark it.
