Having tasted the delicacies, the maids had no idea what restraint was. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Richard leisurely strolled out of the lord's mansion.
He pounded his aching lower back with his other hand, and heard a hollow, muffled sound coming from inside—the result of cooking a delicious meal all night.
The maids, who had been starving for several days, insisted that he make cream puffs, so he had no choice but to feed them all.
Each of them was originally cute, adorable, and well-behaved, but when they were starving, they all pursed their little lips and waited to be fed at the table.
That's so brutal!
At first, they said that Celia had been out with the master for so long and had already eaten her fill, so she was not allowed to eat anymore.
Seeing her puff out her cheeks and leave with her hands on her hips, looking unhappy, Richard still kept her behind.
During the time they were on the run, Richard never fed her, unlike what the other maids had said.
Who knows...
I thought she was petite and delicate, so her appetite would probably be small.
The result was that the most gluttonous one ate until his whole body was trembling and his little mouth was foaming at the mouth, but he was still like a bottomless pit and could never get enough to eat!
If Richard hadn't possessed both a beginner-level and intermediate-level combat physique, he wouldn't have been able to withstand such treatment.
Seriously...
He's not very good at learning to read, but he learns eating posture faster than anyone else.
On his way to the construction site, Richard bumped into several figures with dark circles under their eyes, all yawning and with tears streaming down their faces.
Karl rubbed his red eyes and, upon seeing the lord, quickly mustered his spirits and bowed respectfully.
Anthony's legs were weak, and he was almost leaning against the wall to walk. His eyelids felt as heavy as if they were made of lead. Im rubbed his temples, looking completely exhausted.
Although I know they reunited with their wives and must have spent a lot of time and energy last night, their unrestrained behavior is really disgusting.
Richard glared at them, raised his head smugly, and left the camp with unsteady steps.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the construction site, where more than 500 serfs were working enthusiastically.
Remington was with two young staff members who had just joined the city hall, gesturing with names on parchment scrolls at the foot of the city wall, occasionally jotting something down on paper.
Upon seeing Richard approaching, the three immediately stopped what they were doing, quickly stepped forward, and bowed in greeting.
"Good day, my lord!"
Richard nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the city wall that had already taken shape before him.
More than twenty three-story stone houses have been connected into one, stretching for more than 200 meters. Standing at the foot of the wall and looking up, they have a majestic presence.
"How is the situation?"
Upon hearing the lord's question, Remington began to report on his work.
"Return to my lord."
"The previously planned stone house city wall has been almost completely filled in. Now, with the addition of five hundred serfs, we can finish the job today."
"Over there, eight serfs have received outstanding work awards for three consecutive days. They can be given special positions."
Richard nodded.
"The collection team is manned enough. If they don't want to go to the militia, transfer them to the breeding team and the cleaning team respectively."
Done.
He patted Remington on the shoulder.
"Hand over the work at the construction site to Henry, and you can go to the Sixth Battalion as a sergeant major. Thank you for your hard work during this time."
Upon hearing this...
Remington let out a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across his face.
He was originally a soldier, and this kind of meticulous work of supervising construction projects was really too much for him. He was afraid that he might not do something well enough and delay the progress of the project.
The Chiffon Legion is currently training in horsemanship and mining operations in batches, and he has long hoped to participate.
"Yes, sir. There's not much to do; I can finish the handover today!"
Remington patted his chest to assure them, then turned and went to call for help, his steps becoming lighter.
Not long after.
A burly middle-aged man strode over; his face bore a resemblance to Owen's, and he was none other than Owen's cousin, Henry.
Henry was a top-notch stonemason in Wolfrun, and had previously repaired Wolfrun Castle. Richard had even met him a few times when he was a child.
Such a craftsman would be highly sought after in any territory, and having him oversee construction projects would be a perfect fit for his expertise.
Henry was only able to bring his family to settle in Chiffon Territory because of Owen's encouragement. He assured his cousin that they could buy life-sustaining food at low prices in Chiffon, which is why he called his family over.
Generally speaking, free people who have no worries about food and clothing will try to find food to sustain life. Even if they cannot reach the extraordinary level, it is good to strengthen themselves.
However, without connections, even wealthy free citizens at the bottom of society may not be able to buy it, especially in territories like Wolf Territory where life and food do not flow out.
Besides Henry, a leatherworker and a blacksmith also came from the guards' families. Richard assigned them to Owen's crafts department, where they were managed by Owen.
Henry bowed and greeted them, his gaze fixed on the construction site with admiration and emotion.
He stated that the stone house walls previously planned by the lord were perfect and flawless.
With the help of rock crabs and armored flying insects, as well as the lord's magical creations, such a magnificent and sturdy city wall was able to be built in a short period of time.
Richard accepted the compliment with a smile.
Waving his hand summons great fortune, allowing it to continue solidifying the remaining foundations of the city walls.
Under mental control, the massive rock-armored earth dragon stomped its feet on the ground with tiny, clumsy steps, which looked particularly comical and formed a stark contrast to its ferocious appearance.
The five hundred newly joined serfs were probably not used to monsters participating in the construction project, and they all stared blankly at it.
Several newly appointed serf supervisors nearby loudly reprimanded them for standing there in a daze. Only then did the serfs come to their senses, and they quickly lowered their heads and busied themselves with their work.
Richard led Henry toward the inner city boundaries, intending to tell him about the upcoming construction plan and development strategy.
The inner city covers a total area of two square kilometers, which, literally speaking, can accommodate 20,000 stone houses.
They definitely won't build that many. According to Richard's idea, building 5,000 houses would be about right, which is equivalent to only 5,000 households of Qifeng citizens.
Excluding the Chiffon Legion and their close relatives, it is estimated that about 2,000 of the 5,000 quotas will remain, allowing outsiders to climb the ranks.
In the best-case scenario, once all 5,000 households are occupied, the outer city area will likely be full as well, at which point we'll see how things go and expand the area.
Richard's requirement for Henry was that the inner city should be built with the overall principles of being beautiful, comfortable, clean, and tidy, with leisure and wellness as secondary considerations.
In this way...
In addition to the stone houses for living, sufficient landscaping facilities such as plazas, gardens, green belts, pools, and sculptures should be provided.
In particular, a 3-meter-wide green belt should be reserved on both sides of the 20-meter-wide central main road, and then the neat stone house clusters can be built behind it.
Each stone house is built to a standard of two stories stacked together, forming a duplex of 200 square meters, enough for a family of eight to twelve to live in.
There's no need for any more.
We can't let them live in a house that's taller than my manor, can we? Even a temporary manor won't do; the rules can't be broken.
In the early stages.
Public facilities such as the city hall, hospitals, schools, and guesthouses for VIPs will be located in the inner city and will be relocated after construction begins in the outer city.
The relocated site will be perfect for building landmark structures after the [Magnificent Building] feature is unlocked in the future.
of course.
Richard didn't fully inform Henry about the system's creations. He suggested that Henry wait until the ground was leveled and the stone floor was laid before telling him.
