Chapter 174 Brown Sugar and Water Supply (Updated)

Halfway through arriving in this world, two dungeon missions completed, he had another period of rest, and he could run his territory with peace of mind, preparing to impact the fourth era.

Ji Lin sat in a chair in the office, flipping through the recent developments of the territory, and threw a small piece of brown sugar into his mouth.

He finally tasted the first processed food that appeared in the original world in his territory.

Brown sugar.

The processing of brown sugar is simple, and the people in the territory can also learn it after the simplest education, and use the tools of the sugarcane sugar factory to make a large amount of high-quality brown sugar.

First, provide Ai and Li Yan with the news that he has already produced brown sugar. If they need it, they can also sign a business contract with him to maintain long-term trade. Then sell 10% of the stock of brown sugar in the market to provide additional gold income for the territory.

These brown sugar cubes look good, but they taste quite good. Eating them directly is a bit too sweet for Ji Lin.

The people in the territory obviously don't have these worries. Due to the limitations of their times, the old farmers who could only eat a little meat a week before arriving here were naturally very happy to have sugar. Ji Lin never expected that the first trading currency in his territory would be these small brown sugar cubes that everyone gets after working every day.

Brown sugar cubes are stored for a long time, and everyone recognizes its value. They are also regarded as property, or even a consumable.

The people in the territory didn't think of what to do with these brown sugar cubes at first. They even commissioned carpenters to make some useful wooden furniture after get off work.

All resources in the territory belong to the city hall, carpenters and blacksmiths, and the people in the territory have no right to use resources.

Some people save brown sugar blocks as property, while others use the sugar blocks to buy woven straw hats and other small wooden pieces from others. Although large pieces of wood can be used, carpenters want to take away the remaining scraps of the finished items, but Ji Lin will stop them, and the same goes for rice straw.

They use the given wood to complete the given work, so there is no problem taking the extra wood home to make art.

Some of the people in the territory who were originally clever have begun to try to weave various decorations with rice leaves and rice straw to trade in exchange for brown sugar.

When Wu Bai submitted this report to Ji Lin, Ji Lin showed a look of tears and laughter.

The internal economy of the territory suddenly showed signs of this.

Life really finds a way out on its own.

From this perspective, it is not a bad thing.

There are still many problems in front of Ji Lin. He needs to consider gathering enough resources in the city hall so that he can better promote the construction of the territory. Once the tax system is implemented, the financial problems of the city hall will follow.

Giving money to the people can also mobilize their enthusiasm for production and let them have their own savings.

So tired.

Ji Lin collapsed in the chair.

Fortunately, the starting point of these people is low enough, they eat well every day, and their happiness is directly maxed out.

His eyes fell on the territory increase next to the leader. The temporary increase of new life enthusiasm was refreshed again and again because he continued to improve the lives of the people. Until now, the system has marked the duration behind him.

‘New life enthusiasm: +25% production efficiency. ’

Diversification of food, improvement of living conditions, repair of new roads, and education for the people.

The territory has changed from a small village with nothing at the beginning to a large town with a large agricultural area and a stable output of salt and sugar.

He is a little proud of his achievements, which are the result of his best efforts.

Ji Lin occasionally sneaks a look at the development of other lords. At this time, most people are still thinking about the food supply and housing problems of the territory.

Even his friend, Ai, the dragon and elf lord, is worried about these two problems. The food supply of her territory depends entirely on the magic talents of several green dragons who cast spells day and night, and the elves take care of the growing camel herds and drive them to nearby places with abundant water and grass.

And housing, what housing, is it good to be a caveman?

For this reason, she has to find Ji Lin to customize her furniture, and she has freed up extra people to make furniture. Li Yan needed it, and the tree people used their affinity for plants to drive magic to build a tree house with furniture for him.

Ji Lin stood up, and he decided to visit the newly moved bishop first, after all, he was fooled here.

Just as he stood up, he ran into Chongshan who was looking for him.

"Lord, this is my newly revised canal excavation plan for the territory."

Chongshan knocked on the door and came in, holding a draft that had been revised several times, walked in front of him, and wanted to show it to him.

Owning two lakes and owning a lake, there is even an additional sugar factory that consumes water, and the blacksmith shop will also need water, plus the fire station that may be used to put out fires in the future.

Naturally, he can use the plan that only supplies water to residents before.

Ji Lin took the extremely finely drawn zigzag diagram. Many modifications were annotated on the zigzag diagram, so that Ji Lin could see his ideas at a glance. He said to his deputy while looking at it.

"I am planning to visit the new Bishop Tallis. Let's talk while walking."

In the sunlight, Ji Lin began to look at the new blueprint drawn for him by Qi Zhongshan, the technical bureaucrat.

Ji Lin spread the two lakes apart to ensure that both lakes cover as many residential areas as possible. He also planned to dig a waterway to balance the water volume of the two large lakes.

The new canal plan will widen the canal and pursue depth. The increased width will also facilitate the digging of the residents. A three-meter-wide, one-meter-deep, five-kilometer-long canal connecting the two lakes was presented to Ji Lin.

It is planned to cover the excavated waterway with long strips of stones to make a stone canal. Prevent the water flow from engulfing the soft soil. The deep soil has no grass roots to fix the soil, and it is easy to be swept away by the flowing water. As a result, the water becomes turbid and accumulates in the waterway. This affects the subsequent water supply.

So this problem is solved as it was at the beginning.

Ji Lin sighed as he walked, it was really good to have a deputy with strong working ability, he was not proficient in these engineering-related knowledge.

Ji Lin read the new water supply project several times with love, and thought it was excellent.

The only drawback was that this new project would consume several thousand units of his stone.

The territory did not produce stone, which meant that all his salt, iron and sugar trade volume would be spent during this period.

It would be spent on the infrastructure projects in the territory.

Ji Lin's eyes twitched and he nodded.

No matter how hard it was, it could be hard on infrastructure.
