The fountain production has been planned.
Except for the one in the Governor's Mansion, Murphy plans to create six more fountains in the territory. Except for the two in the inner city of Athens and the port commercial area, the two are large fountains, all of them are reduced in scale and distributed throughout the city. The current area of the territory development is not large, and there are also a large number of empty areas that Murphy has left before, so if you need it in the future, you can completely expand and increase the number.
The city's planning was formulated according to the standards of previous lives.
That is, roads, flower beds, and sidewalks.
Although it is difficult to transplant flowers and plants, trees do not have this problem. Athens city is surrounded by mountains and forests, and the only thing to do is to choose the right trees and transplant them.
The average width of the roads in Athens is about five meters, which means that three vehicles can be used in parallel at the same time. If it is a road in the port, in order to unload goods, it is better to go back to a more spacious place. All the roads are paved roads. Since the new city planning, Murphy has never stopped the construction of roads. Until now, the city of Athens extends from the logging quarry to the newly established towns are composed of relatively neat paved roads.
However, the paved road outside the city is only three meters wide.
Murphy added one meter of gravel roads on both sides of the paving road, mainly because the workload is not small, so I can lay a foundation first. If I need it in the future, I can completely expand the top of the gravel road.
Roads are a very important link in dispatching troops to transport materials.
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
That's it.

October is a season of harvest.
After more than a month of hard work, the university finally started classes, and citizens under the age of 20 in the territory were sent to learn basic knowledge in all aspects. In this era of low civilization, the knowledge they learned was mainly concentrated in two aspects.
The first is literacy.
The second is arithmetic.
As for other academic issues, let’s leave them to the scholars who will be trained in the future.
Murphy also thought about the name of the university and named it after Athens. The courses are roughly equivalent to the first grade of elementary school in his previous life and then to the middle school level. Of course, there may be some gaps. However, the ancient Greek period was also an era when physics and mathematics laid the foundation, and nothing could be left behind. Murphy did not intend to deliberately encourage growth. He just laid the foundation for everything. As for how far it can be developed and in what direction it will develop.
Everything depends on the arrangement of history.
Every era and every region should have its own civilization characteristics.
The result of forced copying and hard copying is not worth looking forward to.
By the way.
Murphy recently planned to find a way to hire a magician as a professor in the university. Since it is a university in another world, how can there be no magic courses?
Although humans are not excellent in magical talent, it is good even if they only cultivate one or two magic apprentices.
If possible, Murphy wanted to lead the magician onto the path of scientists.
Instead of asking them to study magic with stronger destructive power, it is better to let them use magic to invent something more useful. He also discovered that the magicians in this world are definitely masters of physics and chemistry. Not to mention anything else, just by the original craftsmanship of this era, they were able to make glassware with higher transparency.
October 15th.
Since the completion of the university, things in the territory have not been so busy.
The scale of the blacksmith shop has expanded and new steel casting equipment is being forged. However, due to the low craftsmanship level, the number of forgings is relatively small. It is expected that the full replacement of the territory will be completed until around March next year.
After reclaiming the land and planting winter wheat, the huge labor force in the territory was also liberated.
At present, the moat has been re-opened, and the walls of the inner city of Athens are also being reinforced, mixing the original wooden walls with special soil to develop towards the direction of half-wood and half-earth walls. In terms of the port, the scale of the shipyard is expanding, and Murphy intends to expand a shipbuilding workshop.
You rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water.
Murphy has mountains and water here. In addition to the inconvenient transportation, it is unique!
There are countless treasures of the Karazan Mountains, but Murphy has no way to mine them now. Even though he knows that there should be rich minerals here, the level of civilization in this era may not be able to be created. At present, the focus of the territory still needs to be on the Nidoria River. Whether it is trade or fishery income, as long as it can be expanded, it is more than enough to support the development of a city.
After surviving the most difficult period, the labor force in the territory began to surplus.
More than 30,000 goblins and more than 10,000 indigenous refugees, and a total of 40,000 laborers, if it weren't for the inconvenience of quarrying within the Athenian territory, Murphy would have thought of building a stone wall. However, although the construction did not start, Murphy still expanded the originally planned construction blueprint, that is, to include the port in the fortifications, and prepare to extend the moat and the wall.
To put it simply, when Murphy first established the new Athenian town, the scope of the inner and outer cities had been planned.
The inner city was built with the central square as the point, while the outer city radiated outward with the inner city as the center. When the port was first built, it was arranged outside the inner city, that is, within the scope of the outer city. Murphy's original plan was to include the port in the urban construction system after the territory gradually developed. After all, the port is an important part of the source of income for Athens.
When the port was built, Murphy did not consider the port's defense facilities, and even had a wooden wall not built.
The main reason is that it is only 500 meters away from the inner city, and when encountering the enemy, it can rely on the inner city for defense. However, the port is becoming heavier and heavier in the territory. The small towns in the original period are now gradually expanding into cities, and Murphy has to consider the safety of the port. If the enemy attacks, a port without any fortifications will inevitably be destroyed, which is a very heavy loss for the territory!
What Murphy is doing now is to build a foundation for the outer city in advance!
……………………
In the evening, Murphy, who had been busy for a day, returned to the territory.
The project of the fortress has begun, mainly under the charge of General Marcus Kane. Murphy dispatched two thousand goblin slaves and three thousand human indigenous people, totaling five thousand people. Building the fortress is not just about hard work, so the number of goblin laborers is a little smaller, while the number of humans is relatively large. At present, the job that the goblin slaves in the territory is easier to do is to dig pits and carry.
The defensive fortress project is quite large, and Murphy will probably not be completed until around June next year.
"Huh, bell, come and rub my shoulders for me." After lying on the chair, Murphy was too lazy to move.
Chairs, stools, tables, etc. in the city were all made by Murphy and are currently popular in the territory. Because citizens are proud of following the style of Lord Lord.
The little girl was very well-behaved today and walked over very obediently to massage Murphy with her fleshy little hands.
In the Governor's Office, Angela should be better at massage.
Because this girl priest is also proficient in medicine, and has the highest martial arts skills, and the most outstanding in technique. However, the bell is soft and his hands are fleshy, so it is very comfortable to pinch it.
In the past two days, Murphy is starting to mobilize a group of potters to burn bricks.
Since there is a suitable clay, I am really sorry for not vigorously developing the ceramic technology.
Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients too much.
There is a saying in Central Earth called "Qin bricks and Han tiles", which means that bricks and tiles already appeared in BC.
Bricks and tiles are actually part of the pottery process.
In the past, the territory was mostly made of wood. It was not until Murphy discovered that there was already mature pottery craft in Athens that he realized that he had forgotten something very important!
That is - bricks!
The soil in the Athenian territory was not good, and there was not much suitable clay.
But on the other side of the Nidoria River, the soil near the Goblin Territory is quite good. Now even the original porcelain can be burned out in the territory. It’s not the same as burning two bricks!
The only thing that is more troublesome is that the clay needs to be transported.
But it doesn't matter. What are the uses of so many goblin slaves in the territory? Can they still feed them in vain?
Murphy is now not short of low-end labor.
Today, Murphy chose a place, then arranged personnel to expand the cave, and selected a group of smart people to train as new craftsmen. As long as bricks can be produced in large quantities, the construction progress in the territory will undoubtedly be much faster.
If Murphy remembers correctly, the temperature of burning bricks is a little higher than that of pottery, but it is much lower than that of porcelain.
It seemed that he needed about a thousand degrees in his vague memory.
It's just 1000 degrees, it's sprinkled with water.
Don’t forget that there is a very powerful resource in the territory!
That is - open-pit coal mine!
This is also an important reason why the territory can burn original porcelain!
……………………
With a soft little hand pressed on his shoulder, Murphy was so comfortable that he almost wanted to *** out.
But after a while, he realized something was wrong.
Chapter completed!
