Chapter 677 Anger
It is actually impossible to say that it is a stone city without any wooden structure. In that case, it cannot reflect the luxury and exquisiteness of the city. Therefore, the forests upstream of the river become the source of wood for the city, and there are also clay that can be burned in bricks and tiles. It is like the system has specially set up such a place to provide convenience for Mr. Su.
The newly selected location is very suitable for building a huge city.
The splitter quickly reported the results of the site selection to Grand Duke Stan. Grand Duke Stan had no idea about such things. He felt that it would not matter where the city was built.
If you can build it by the river, you can also raft the boat and write lyrics when you have nothing to do. It is not a bad thing to think about it.
So I transferred another 50 million gold coins, which means you should start working. I want to see the completion of my city sooner.
The first step of site selection in Stan City construction was completed, while the second step was more difficult.
Su Mo must recruit at least 20,000 young men to work as a coolie for his city construction, which will take at least half a month. Of course, the game cannot be as troublesome as in reality, otherwise even with modern machines and tools, it will take at least several years to build a city out of thin air.
But the amount of 20,000 cannot be discounted.
Unless Laifu uses the Monster Store to customize everything, Stan City will have to do it step by step.
There are thousands of people in the quarry alone who work on stones day and night here. Although you can blow up mountains, the exploded stones must be polished and qualified.
City walls and buildings require stone, and all roads are paved with stone slabs.
This is not something that can be solved in a short while, and it is likely to last until the moment Stan City is built.
When the stones are picked, someone will need to transport them.
For now, we can only use the most primitive mode of transportation. After the stones are polished, they are pulled to the dock by the river and carried onto a raft. Several young and strong boats are flowing downstream and lifted down to the dock at Stan City.
The manpower required is a huge number. For example, a raft can place up to 2 to 3 large stones, but it requires 4 to 6 people to operate. In addition, loading and unloading, hundreds of people have gone out.
"It's a waste of money, are we too cruel?" Tian Dazhuang said helplessly.
Under the instructions of Grand Duke Sta, tens of thousands of young and strong men were dragged out of their homes by the soldiers. Teams of people were driving into the temporary camp. The soldiers punched and kicked, and the whipped whipped. The young and strong laborers were also listless and seemed to be unable to expect to return from this Shura field.
The Free Federation is the freedom of the rich, and the status of the poor is even more embarrassing as the manors plant industrial economic crops such as cotton, external processing plants rose everywhere, becoming more embarrassing.
The nobles "in accordance with the law" of labor servitude for the residents of the territory.
I have a job, and you must help me with free money, basically the same thing as the master and slave.
Better nobles would give their laborers a full meal, while the worse even required laborers to prepare their own tools and food for work. The construction period requirements were very strict, and supervisors who waved their whips were the most basic configuration on the site.
"Don't worry, we have money!" Mr. Su now regards himself as a person with money ability.
When the 20,000 civilians were recruited, they were all driven to the small square, with a large number of heads surrounded by guards holding bright weapons.
Su Mo slowly walked over by a group of people.
The villagers looked at him with hatred. It was spring and there was no need to eat enough food.
Everyone tried every means to dig food in the mountains, forests and rivers, and some were bolder and even challenged the ferocious beasts, so that their wives and children would not starve to death.
Now a conquest order gathers them all here.
At least during the labor service, they could not fulfill their obligations as husband or father. If they were a little more miserable, they might have to occupy the originally insufficient rations of their wives and children.
"I am Lord Iron Horse!" Su Mo stood on the stage. It was not the first time he faced so many people, but he was still in a state of great excitement. After all, there have never been so many people looking at him with hatred.
No one was talking below, and many people were complaining in their hearts.
What does this silly noble want to do? Could it be that you still have to remember who he is? Lord Iron Horse, I have never heard of it.
A lord was embarrassed to come out and show his eyes.
"I know you are all unwilling. Why? I want to know why. Does anyone dare to stand up and say what you are saying, why you are unwilling to be unwilling? Is there any?" Su Mo asked loudly.
As a result, no one said anything, and even the sound of breathing was as thin as a gossip.
There was no sound, no one dared to say anything, just like lambs waiting for verdict, numb and godless, and only dared to complain in their hearts. If it were the kind of bubble chat game that was like decades ago, there would probably be a lot of bubbles on everyone's head at this time.
"No one said it, right? Then I'll tell you." Mr. Su was very embarrassed. He thought there would be a young man standing up.
No one paid attention to him. Everyone just wanted to go to work early and go home after work to see if his wife and children starve to death.
"What you are unwilling to do is that you have worked hard but have no reward. If I send you here, it will destroy your family's life, right?" Su Mo shouted a little regretfully: "You are almost gone and your job is almost impossible to save. Why do you still have to swallow your anger like this?"
Not only the people below, but also the people sent by Grand Duke Stan were stunned.
Does this guy know what he is talking about?
Fortunately, Su Mo quickly changed the topic and continued: "I will not recruit you to work in vain, because you are the people of Grand Duke Stan, not my Lord Iron Horse. I will recruit you to build Stan City and will pay you a salary."
No one dares to believe their ears.
Is there such a good thing?
"According to work performance, each person will get half a gold coin to one gold coin a day, work in groups and conduct collective assessments, and the specific rules will be taken care of by my special envoy, Lord Yun Fei." Su Mo finally expressed his plan.
He probably said these civilians to borrow, so that he would have a reason to give money.
Then I set up basic rules, as long as I work, I have money to get, but I have to do better to get more.
There are at least five silver coins to pay. If the construction period is half a month, the income of seven or eight gold coins is equivalent to the income of these young and strong people for a whole year or even three years.
It seems to be a lot, but in fact Su Mo only paid more than 100,000 gold coins.
Compared to his total cost of 200 million gold coins, this amount of money is simply not worth mentioning, but the hard laborers below can't believe the news he heard.
How can you get money from labor?
One gold coin a day?
