Chapter 430 Construction
After some cleaning, the city of San Firto quickly recovered from prosperity, because after missing those gangs, the trading environment here has greatly improved both in terms of suitable living environments.
The city's sanitation reform is still continuing, and it has been significantly accelerated. It is not a good idea to lock up the poor in concentration camps. If so many people don't find something for them to do, there will definitely be chaos.
So Sulun began to take out the basic renovation work of San Ferto City. Sulun still knew the method of using labor for relief, which was very suitable for these poor people who had nothing.
Public toilets and public bathrooms were also established, and streets were turned into gravel pavements.
Those poor people get a share of their work every day and can still have enough food. This is already very happy for them. Many houses would be rebuilt in the original slums, and these houses would be sold to the poor at a lower price.
The required building materials can be organized by the poor to cut down and collect the houses, and the poor will still be used to build the houses. After the houses are built, they will be sold to the poor. After this, Su Lun collected the money distributed to the poor again.
It can be said that Su Lun made a small profit without spending almost any money. He completed the basic renovation of the city at a very small price.
......
After leaving San Ferto, the Marquis of Savoy led his army back to Carter. After he announced his allegiance to Sullen, the originally neutral nobles of the northern provinces of the Kingdom of Florence began to support Sullen, but there were still several cities where the nobles did not accept Sullen.
These cities are located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Florence. These cities are already the border of the Kingdom of Florence. On the other side, they border the Kingdom of Lorenza. The road to these noble territories is not easy to walk. You need to pass through a section of mountains. It is also because of the barriers of mountains that it is much more difficult to conquer these territories.
After three days of renovation, under Sulun's order, the Marquis of Savoy began to lead the army to wipe out these territories.
Under the leadership of the legendary knights, the morale of the army in Carter City was high, and there was no legendary combat power among the rebellious nobles. As long as the Marquis Savoy arrived there, it would be only a matter of time before the rebellious nobles were solved.
Sulun sent some falcons to Marquis Savoy to use to communicate with him. If any unexpected situation occurs, he can notify him as soon as possible.
When the Marquis Savoy went to wipe out the rebellion, the first batch of grassroots officials and soldiers supported by the Principal of North Wind came to the city of San Ferto. As soon as these grassroots officials arrived here, they immediately devoted themselves to their work. Sulun finally got free from his busy work.
The new law was also passed after Sulun checking and then officially implemented. Of course, there must be many imperfections in the laws written in such a short time, but they can be slowly revised and added while using them.
In addition to the most basic constitution, Sulun also formulated several branches such as criminal law, commercial law, and civil law. Because of the support from the North Wind Principality, Sulun also began to reform the tax system. The previous personnel were not changed because of the manpower issue. Sulun did not trust the former tax officials of San Ferto City.
If the new tax system allows them to collect taxes, there will definitely be many problems in the end. Until there is no trustworthy person, Sulun will not reform the tax system. The biggest change in changing the tax system this time is to include the nobles in the tax payment ranks.
In the past, the nobles did not pay taxes. Not only did the nobles not pay taxes, but even their caravans and shops did not pay taxes. Sulun now wants to tell them a truth, that is, this is birth, death and tax payments are inevitable in the world.
The nobles enjoyed many privileges, and if their taxes were abolished, the treasury would not have much money to take out. After the arrival of grassroots officials of the North Wind Principality, Sulun accelerated the construction of the prison. He planned to let the officials go in and experience it after the prison was completed.
After having a prison, it can guarantee the corruption and dereliction of duty of officials to a large extent.
"What is this?" Phyllis asked, pointing to the drawings drawn by Sullen on the table.
"Tape water pipe design drawings." Su Lun did not raise his head and focused on drawing the drawings in his hand.
"What kind of water drawing?"
"Tape water design drawings!" Sulun repeated. After getting used to the convenient tap water in Zhenbeicheng, Sulun felt very uncomfortable when he came to San Ferto.
"What is this for?" Phyllis asked curiously.
Su Lun put down his quill and poured himself a cup of tea, "This is the water supply system in Zhenbeicheng, you have seen it in Zhenbeicheng."
"Would you like to have a drink? I added ice, lemon juice and sugar to it, and it tasted very good."
"No." Phyllis waved her hand. She didn't like the bitterness of tea and preferred to drink milk. "I brought someone to lunch today, do you like it or not."
As he said that, Phyllis brought out the fragrant food from the food box.
The lunch was very rich, with grilled fish, steak, lamb chops, vegetable salad, fruit platters, etc. Phyllis and Sullen enjoyed a lunch lightly.
After the sanitary bins in San Ferto were improved, Sulun began to try to improve the living standards of the city. The first thing was the tap water system, which could greatly improve the happiness of residents. Moreover, the public bathrooms built by Sulun also require the cooperation of the tap water system. Otherwise, there would be so many public bathrooms in the city that transporting water every day would take a lot of time.
There are many benefits to using tap water. Civilians in this world usually go to the river or well to fetch water, and then store one tank of water at a time and use it slowly. Because the water tank is rarely clean, the water in the water tank is not very clean. If you observe carefully, you will find that there will be a layer of green in the water tank that is like a caterpillar floating, and in fact, it is algae.
The water supply device used by Sulun this time is a water tower to supply water. This method is much smaller than the workload of an elevated water diversion channel. It pumps water from the rivers outside the city into the water tower, and then flows the water source into every household through the pipeline. Of course, the power problem needs to be solved by using spells.
In fact, there are still many spells used to replace pumps. The easiest thing is to use a whirlwind to suck water from the river. This requires a simple rune magic array and then an energy crystal is installed to drive it. As long as the energy crystal is replaced in time, this device can be used all the time.
The water supply pipes are either made of iron or copper. The iron pipes need to be rust-proofed, otherwise they will be scrapped in less than a few years. The copper pipes are very good, but this thing is currency. Su Lun is worried that someone will steal the copper pipes and mint them into currency, let alone silver.
However, in this world with magic, this kind of thing is also easy to solve. It is not too difficult to just add some rust to the iron pipe. There are many ways for wizards to do it.
In this way, it is much easier to build a tap water system. As for energy, Sulun plans to use element pools to replace the energy problem. The second is the lighting problem of the palace. Although there are magic lamps in this era, it is rarely used in other places except for the wizard tower, and even the palace uses candles.
Sulun plans to install magic lamps in the palace. The cost of magic lamps is not high, mainly due to energy problems. However, Sulun has already planned to build an element pool, so the energy problem has been solved.
"Is this a tower you painted?" Phyllis sat on Sulun's thigh, a pleasant scent covered his nose.
"Yes, this is a water tower, where it is used to store, purify and filter water sources. The water here is sent to thousands of households through pipelines."
"This is different from Zhenbeicheng." Phyllis asked strangely.
"The use of an elevated water diversion bridge in Zhenbeicheng is different from this one, which requires the help of magic." Su Lun explained.
"What is this drawing?" Phyllis asked, pointing to another drawing.
"This is a blast furnace used to smelify iron," Sulun pointed to the drawing and said, "He is hollow inside, used to fill fuel and ore. This is improved by combining the dwarf's blast furnace technology."
Sulun, a blast furnace made by the dwarf, has seen it in the underground world. To be honest, the blast furnaces they made are not only smaller in capacity, but also have a lower temperature, and their structure is almost the same as those of the blast furnace. If they hadn't had better materials, the dwarf blast furnace would have been built larger.
However, this is not a problem for Sulun. The dwarf does not have good enough refractory materials, but the wizard has it. The newly designed blast furnace has nearly eight meters in height and can produce two tons of iron at a time. The furnace body is tower-shaped and the maximum inner diameter is three meters. To prevent collapse, there is a support frame at the bottom. The wall of the furnace is thin and thick at the bottom, and the belly of the furnace is half a meter thick. The innermost layer is made of Soloya brand-coated fireproof bricks, and there is also a circle of air supply vents, which are pumped into the belly of the furnace by a human blower or a water conservancy blower.
In addition to this blast furnace, Sulun also made a feeding equipment, which is a feeding truck that can be moved at the bottom. After the car climbed to the top of the furnace under the traction of manpower or water conservancy, the snaps at the bottom of the vehicle will be hooked, thereby opening the feeding port and pouring fuel or ore into the furnace. In fact, this thing has been around the dwarf for a long time, and Sulun has just carried it over after a simple transformation.
The method of using iron smelting in San Ferto was relatively backward in the past. With this blast furnace, the production efficiency increased several times. As long as several blast furnaces are built according to the drawings, the pig iron production in San Ferto will increase exponentially.
When Su Lun was preparing to expand his army, he needed a lot of iron to make equipment. In addition to this blast furnace iron smelting, Su Lun also planned to build a blacksmith workshop to produce equipment in a better way.
