"Adelaide, but if this is going to be done in large quantities, it will require a lot of people. It will be difficult for us to do it on our own. It would be best to build a workshop next to the castle."
Ed plans to enclose this workshop inside the castle in the future, specializing in making some more precious little things.
"Yes, Master, I will speak with Uncle Roderick."
Having made their decision, the two continued along Chenghua Avenue towards Windmill Village. Although the road was now easier to travel, the distance was much greater. Ed remembered the things he had given Roderick last time. He wondered how Roderick was doing. It seemed he needed to find some time to ask him.
Soon the two arrived at the intersection of two roads in Taoyuan Village. Now, apart from the few billboards, there was a large open space where workers were building toilets.
This is where Ed plans to build a market in the future; for now, we'll focus on completing some basic infrastructure.
The houses in the territory are now all made of brick, stone and cement, and very little wood is used in a house anymore.
Ed has already decided on a name for the newly built road from Peach Blossom Village to Windmill Village: Routine. No, it should be Peach Road.
Actually, the road signs have already been put up, and it is indeed Taolu Road, Taolu Road in Taoyuan Village.
"Master, you said this place will become a bustling market, and you even said it's all thanks to the good name you gave this road. Is there anything special about this Peach Road?"
Ed gave an awkward smile. He had only said it casually before, but he didn't expect Adelaide to remember it.
"No, no, Taolu is just Taolu, there's nothing special about it."
After hearing Ed's explanation, Adelaide said nothing more and walked onto the peach path.
For some reason, after arriving at Peach Road, she began to worry about the people who would come to trade at the market. It was a really strange feeling.
Ed walked along Taolu with a grin. He had to admit that the newly built road was still a bit lacking. Without good road rolling tools, Taolu was still inferior to Chenghua Avenue.
Standing on the road, Ed could clearly see the jungle swamp to the southeast of the territory and a path leading into the depths of the forest to the east, the path they used to take to trade for salt.
The eastern part of the territory is indeed too flat. Not far from those jungles is the road where he is now standing, and his food base is planned to be built on the south side of this road. If someone launches a strong attack, his losses will be considerable.
We must build a city wall on the east side first. At least there is that small river on the north side, but there is nothing on the east side.
The city wall will be built from the downstream of the small river in Taoyuan Village in the north all the way to Fengche Village. The location of the small road in the east will be the city gate in the future. As for what to do about the south side after the wall reaches Fengche Village? We'll talk about that later. First, we need to finish building this 'one'-shaped city wall.
However, this project is quite large and may take some time. Fortunately, the population of the territory is increasing, so it's better to be slower than to want to build it but have no one to do it.
However, his castle reconstruction plan has to be postponed again. He doesn't know how much of the gypsum ore he dug up will be left after he finishes building the city wall.
The school and hospital haven't been repaired yet.
Ed still needs to go back and draw up blueprints for the city wall. He needs to design the wall to be bigger, higher, and thicker so that the enemy won't even have the thought of raiding it.
He wanted to add steel bars to the cement to make the cement pillar indestructible.
"Master, what are you doing? We've arrived. If you go any further, you'll fall into the ditch."
Upon hearing Adelaide's words, Ed was startled and quickly stopped in his tracks. He patted his chest and glanced ahead.
We have indeed arrived, but there's a ditch ahead.
"The name Taolu was indeed well chosen," Ed thought to himself.
