If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

Even if a large number of laborers were liberated from the land, they still pale in comparison to more things.

The main body of the new livestock shed is a stone and wood structure. The interior is wide and bright, the top floor should be high, not oppressive, and well ventilated, and the subsequent expansion work should also be considered.

Each requirement means that more labor will be invested in the livestock shed.

There are stonemasons and bricklayers in the town of Sger. In this era, everyone can repair roofs and furniture, but not many people make a living by this craft.

There are only 20 to 30 people in the whole town who can be called construction workers. Some of them have built houses in the Origin Manor and can barely be regarded as colleagues of Roman, who is born with a civil engineering body.

But there are still too few people.

Roman had to pull Aaron and Green over to build the livestock shed.

If the power of a war knight is used well, it will definitely be equivalent to four or five laborers.

Then there are about a hundred children over ten years old.

They could eat as much as they wanted every day at noon. They had eaten at the Origin Manor for more than a month and learned simple counting and literacy - at least they knew that 5 was bigger than 3, and what 7 and 8 were.

These children had grown stronger and could do some labor within their capacity. At least carrying lighter wood and stones was not a problem.

Because of the extreme lack of labor, Roman could only use them as calves and horses.

Finally, Roman called over the forty guards from the town of Sger.

Aaron trained them in basic formations and marching every day, and with sufficient meat supply every day, the spirit of these guards was obviously improved to a higher level.

Now they didn't need to supervise the work of the group of fools, nor did they need to train. They could work happily with these calves and horses!

In fact, after learning about the existence of the salt mine, the farmers' work efficiency was very impressive, and few of them were lazy.

Because they did the same thing every day, they formed a labor inertia. They only needed to move forward step by step and eventually build the road to the salt mine.

Roman can't supervise the progress over there now.

As the chief engineer of the livestock shed, he has to do his best to build the livestock shed.

The area of ​​the new shed is about four acres. The whole is a stone and wood building with a length of 80 meters and a width of 30 meters. It is divided into two areas: living and conservation.

Its location was chosen between the town of Sige and the origin manor.

A total of two to three hundred people participated in the construction. Roman predicted that it would take half a month to complete the initial completion.

The new livestock shed he designed is nominally more scientific, clean and hygienic, and these conditions are actually easy to achieve.

In simple terms, the wall is made of stone and yellow mud, and the wall is two meters high. At the same time, multiple windows are left for ventilation. The umbrella-shaped roof frame is built with logs, and the overall pressure is shared by a large number of load-bearing woods. Then a large number of dead branches, bark and clay are used to cover the roof, and finally a thick layer of thatch is laid.

The thatch comes from the reeds on the other side of the swamp. There are a lot of them, and it is also the most common building material in Sige Town.

Bundle it up, and arrange the large leaves in layers, like fish scales, which can drain water. If it is half a meter thick, it will not leak even if it encounters a rainstorm. The main concern is the strong wind, which can easily blow the thatch away.

However, Sige Town is a basin, backed by mountains, and the wind is not strong, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

These days, Roman has been so busy that he has no time to care about the increase in experience points. A tall building is built from the ground. Without a foundation, no matter how high the skill level is, it is useless - he even dreams of pointing fingers at this group of big and small cattle and horses.

There are many difficulties in construction. For example, when building a frame structure, most of the instructions cannot be understood by these fools, which almost makes him faint. He wants to upgrade their brains manually.

Roman has no choice but to climb up and teach them step by step. He climbs up and down every day and builds hundreds of pieces of wood by himself.

The construction technology in Sige Town is quite backward. Even the livestock sheds are poorly built and loose. They need to be repaired every six months, wasting labor.

However, his livestock shed can be said to be sturdy and durable. It does not need major repairs within four or five years.

This livestock shed, which can accommodate at least four or five hundred large livestock, can basically be said to be the largest building in the entire Sige Town.

From a distance, it is even more magnificent and spacious than Roman's Origin Manor.

It was not until the 10th day of construction that the beam frame was initially built, and Seth came to him at this time.

"Master, the road to the salt mine is smooth."

"Road? What road?"

Roman, who was busy, asked subconsciously.

Then he patted his head, got out of the heavy construction work, and told the children to collect reeds and thatch and bundle them up, and spread them on the roof in a few days.

Roman rode his horse and went deep into the wilderness along the road.

Although there were some ups and downs, it was still okay overall.

This 40-kilometer-long, 3-4-meter-wide, unreinforced dirt road was finally completed after a month.

This was thanks to the free lunch every day and the enthusiasm of the farmers.

The speed of more than 1,000 meters per day is not a miracle, because most places only need to clear vegetation and trees, and there are only a few places that are difficult to pass, such as swamps and streams.

Moreover, Roman used 80% of the animal power in Sige Town for this purpose.

In previous years, these animals would only be used to reclaim wasteland or plow other lands. Unless they were sick or pregnant, they would not have many days off a year, just like farmers who worked all day.

For a moment, it was hard to tell who was better, farmers or horses.

…

Roman came to the salt mine to inspect the work. They had dug out large pieces of rock salt crystals during this period, but the road was not repaired and could not be transported on a large scale.

The rock salt has a very high purity and can be used directly as salt bricks.

If it is not processed, it will not sell at a good price, and it is not possible to eat this kind of crude salt for a long time, which is easy to cause accidents.

So these people still cannot finish their work.

They are going to build a salt processing plant here to make a lot of profits for Roman.

The cost is nothing more than fuel and labor. The former is not valuable, and the latter is not valuable either.

Roman has been very tired these days. The heavy work and pressure have also made him lose his calm attitude as a nobleman. He hasn't smiled for several days.

But this is good news, which eased his mood.

Even if these people cannot be transferred out, the next stage of work can be carried out.

Roman said loudly to everyone present: "You can take a piece of rock salt home today, and I will give you more salt in the future."

The farmers had predicted the gift from the lord, but they were still excited at this moment.

It was like a social animal who finally waited for payday.

Everyone burst into huge cheers, and many farmers even burst into tears of excitement.

Roman understood their feelings. If it were him, he could only taste salt occasionally since he was a child, and most of the time he ate bland bread and vegetable soup. Suddenly hearing that there would be seasonings from now on and he could taste salt, he would not be able to control his mood.

The process of purifying salt is not complicated, and it can even be said to be very simple. After the [Collection] skill is upgraded to level 2, you will have basic knowledge in this area, and there is already a method of making salt in this era.

Roman reserved two hundred people here to do this work and build a salt factory.

Someone also needs to calcine limestone and collect lime, clay, and sand.

This dirt road will soon become full of potholes, which will greatly affect transportation efficiency.

Again, the same old saying.

If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.

If you want to use it for a long time, you can't avoid reinforcing the road, and this process may take longer than leveling the road.

As a pillar-level source of income for Sige Town in the future, Roman attaches great importance to this salt mine.

This means that the economic development speed of Sige Town can be accelerated crazily.
