Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

"It smells so good..."

Andrew licked the corners of his shiny mouth and couldn't help but sigh.

Under Leon's orders,

The locals prepared the first big pot meal since winter for the newly arrived Lapluk people.

Not only is there bread, but there is also stew.

Although the bread was dark and hard and the stew was full of fishy smell, it was good enough.

For Andrew, this was the most filling meal he had eaten since the beginning of winter, and he was even a little full.

As for what he had said in front of Leon before, such as saying that he would never become a subject of the Jimena family, he had already forgotten about it.

As long as it can fill your stomach, who cares about all the mess? What does the me of yesterday have to do with the me of today?

after all……

Although the environment in the Thorn Territory can only be regarded as a remote area compared to the interior of the Kingdom of Andal, it is obviously much better than the previous camp of the Lapruk people.

Not just him,

Most of the other mountain people are like this too.

Although at the beginning, they felt a little alienated from others, as soon as they took a look at their own priest, their whole mood instantly became calm.

After deciding to pledge allegiance to the Jimena family,

As a priest, Fast spent almost all the time with the butler named Aaron. He said he was studying the future development plan of Antolia, but he seemed to be in high spirits. Young, as if rejuvenated with a second spring.

As for what the research actually yielded, it's not clear.

Originally, Leon planned to let the mountain people continue to live in the previous camp in the mountains. However, after carefully taking stock of the loss of food on the road and possible problems encountered during transportation, Leon simply let them live in the camp. In the city of Thorn Territory.

However, the arrival of thousands of Lapluk people also made the entire Thorn Territory city instantly full.

The military camp in the city was temporarily converted into a shelter for mountain residents, and it was finally possible to squeeze thousands of people into the city one by one.

only,

Problems tend to arise when there are too many people.

Especially since it was winter at this time, almost all the citizens of the Thorn Territory gathered in the already small city. Suddenly thousands of Lapruk people were squeezed in, which would inevitably cause some conflicts.

There is even a high probability that there will be thoughts similar to "Someone from out of town is coming to our thorn collar to beg for food?"

so,

Leon simply started the renovation plan of the old houses in the Thorn Territory City in advance.

The so-called renovation of old houses,

To put it bluntly, it is a large-scale demolition and re-planning of the area in the Thorn Territory City.

Leon originally wanted to leave this work to the next spring, but the arrival of the Lapluk people made Leon change his mind.

We can't let the Lapluk people eat free food all day long, right?

Let the citizens work and let the energetic men exhaust their physical strength and energy in the work.

Only then will they not have the mind to think about other things, and will be able to promote the integration of the Lapluk and the Aboriginal people of the Thorn Territory faster, allowing the Territory people to more quickly accept these mountain people who have never interacted with each other before.

then,

Leon specially summoned all the prominent retainers in the Thorn Territory and solemnly announced this important decision.

“I think it is feasible to re-plan the city.”

After Aaron thought for a moment, he expressed support for his lord's decision, but also pointed out possible problems:

"However, how to change it and what needs to be changed? I wonder if Lord Viscount already has an idea?"

Hearing this,

Leon immediately ordered the waiter to take out the map of thorn territory that had been prepared.

"To be precise, I plan to renovate and rebuild all the buildings in this city."

"ah?"

Even though Aaron had expected it, he never expected that his lord would be so generous.

"After these years of development, the cities in the Thorn Territory have become increasingly crowded. Although a large number of wooden houses look strong, they are actually extremely fragile."

What Leon said is not unfounded.

When fighting against the plateau hounds a few days ago, some plateau hounds climbed over the city wall and just stepped on the roofs of the houses in the city. Due to the sloppy structure of the houses, the entire houses collapsed and many residents were crushed to death.

"But if all the houses in the city are renovated according to the requirements of the Lord Viscount, I am afraid that there will be no room for so many people in the city of Thorn Territory..."

Aaron made his point.

Today's city is actually more like a military fortress with the lord's castle as the center. The reason why so many people are squeezed out is entirely due to the danger outside the city and the hardship of the cold winter.

It is quite common for three or five people to share a house.

"So I plan to build a new city on the other side of the White Blade River in the next five years."

Leon finally spoke out the thoughts that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

Today's Thorn Territory is located on the north bank of the White Blade River. Although this geographical location eliminates the need to cross the river during transportation of food, it also causes the Jimena family to neglect the management of the area on the south bank of the White Blade River.

This era is not like before Leon traveled through time.

Although it is only separated by the width of a river, the wide White Blade River is like a natural chasm, which seriously affects the Jimena family's control of southern Antolia.

To travel to and from both sides of the river, all we can rely on are a few dilapidated ferries.

This is obviously not conducive to Antolia's future development.

To realize the concept of actually controlling the entire Antolia region and completely bring the southwestern highlands and southern mountains under the control of the Jimena family, a few small boats are obviously not enough.

so,

Since cities will always expand,

Then let's just do it in one step and let the city span both sides of the Bairen River.

To put it more bluntly, Leon not only wants to build a new city, but also wants to build roads and bridges in the future!

"This will be a... huge project." Aaron said with some difficulty.

"So we have to start from now on."

Leon faced everyone's gaze and said firmly.

"As you wish."

Aaron answered seriously.

According to Leon's idea, the current old city will be divided into four different areas, namely the residential area, the workshop area, the military barracks area, and the core area centered on the Lord's Castle.

Obviously, this project cannot be completed overnight. What needs to be done this winter is to complete the transformation of the workshop area and the residents' residential area.

It’s not that the house must be built well, as long as it’s sturdy and durable, it’s considered a success.

As for the rest,

The most important thing is to renovate the roads and accommodation environment in the city.

The current Thorn Territory is like most cities in the Kingdom of Andal. Just take a few steps from the city, and there will be a puddle of mud under your feet.

If you are lucky, it will just be excrement. If you are unlucky, it may not be the case if you step on something.

It's always been like this, right?

Leon, who has experienced his previous life, clearly knows the impact that the current filthy living environment in the city may have on the future of the Thorn Territory.

It's okay just because of the smell, but if there is an epidemic, it will be great fun.

Not to mention revitalizing the family, he might also end up in the middle.

Leon is a man who cherishes his life, even more so after traveling through time.

"What do you think?"

After receiving Aaron's support, Leon couldn't help but look at the many retainers present who could only say yes, and then naturally got the answer he wanted.

"right!"

"The Lord is right!"

The five big and three rough guys quickly echoed.
