Chapter 212

Nord and Harlan just strolled around the South Mountain stronghold, because Harlan was a little tired. After all, he was old. After coming from the far mountain stronghold, he held such a meeting nonstop. Mentally, Nord was very tired. Seeing his tired eyes, Nord took him back to his room to have a rest.

Then Nord met Benny who had settled the mountain people in the administrative district. Because the market was very crowded and noisy, Nord, who had been tired all day, wanted to be quiet for a while.

Therefore, Nord took Benny to the mountain forest not far from the South Mountain stronghold, that is, the construction site for building the road. Since Nord has asked the mountain people of the South Mountain stronghold to join the construction team, the progress of road construction has been accelerated a lot.

But these mountain people are like the villagers who have just joined the construction team in Tami town. In addition to their strength, they can't do complex work, especially those requiring tacit cooperation or a little technical work.

Although there is no Abbot housekeeper here, the two team leaders in charge of road construction are already familiar with this problem. These people saved Nord a lot of heart. At least they didn't add trouble to Nord in road construction.

The construction teams sent by Abbot's housekeeper to Nanshan stronghold are the ones who can stand on their own. Their team leaders are almost the leaders of the original construction team in Tami town. In recent months, they have not only learned how to train new people with Abbot's housekeeper, but also been able to solve some small problems independently.

Therefore, housekeeper Abel specially selected a group of people and sent them. Tami town is relatively close. Housekeeper Abel can inspect at any time. If there is any problem, he will soon know. Housekeeper Abel is also very convenient to solve the problem.

Speaking of it, these mountain people don't know how many new people are in the construction team. The construction team in Tami town has always been in and out, with new people coming in and excellent people going out.

Therefore, these team leaders are very familiar with such small scenes, and the road construction work of Nanshan stronghold is very simple. They do some preliminary preparations, cutting down trees and cleaning the foundation. Even if they have not done it, the mountain people can get started quickly.

Seeing that big trees have been cut down and a simple road foundation has been built, Nord has a great sense of achievement. This is the power of human beings to change nature. Unlike the previous construction team, now they use professional tools made by Hansen.

There are all kinds of things like axes, saws and shovels. Each one is made of pig iron. It is very strong and durable and can significantly improve work efficiency. These things are also the goods sold by blacksmiths in the market. They are very popular. This is also the idea that Nord gave Hansen because he had no income.

Making some hardware goods, like some iron tools and very promising goods, has a high sales volume in Tami town. Many villagers like the tools of the blacksmith shop very much because they are very practical. Relying on this business, the blacksmith shop has become the most profitable workshop in Tami town.

There are also many tools in the products brought by Nord this time, but Nord just saw at the gate of the market that not many mountain people buy these things, which may be the reason why they don't use them. After they join the road repair team, they learn how to use these tools, and it is estimated that they will buy them.

In the very primitive cottages, these tools in Tami town are very easy to use, because whether the mountain people build houses or make their own furniture, they are inseparable from the tools of logging. The tools made of stones must not be compared with the iron axes and shovels in Tami town. The tools of stone grinding should have been eliminated long ago.

Nord went to the temporary path. Although no bricks were laid here, the foundation has been built very firmly. Since Nord did not have a roller, it can only be tamped manually, that is, with thick wooden piles inch by inch.

This method consumes a lot of manpower and is not very efficient, but the road built is very solid. It's like Benny laments the flatness of the road now. Nord explained to him that two layers of bricks will be paved on the road in the future.

Benny doesn't quite understand why he should lay bricks in one fell swoop when the road is so solid. With Nord's explanation, Benny also knows what bricks are. Even so, it's hard for him to imagine what a stone like road looks like.

Nord shook his head and ignored Benny's questions. When the road was completed, Benny would understand the significance of Nord's persistence. Brick road and earth road are not things of the same era at all. Brick road is very necessary to be built.

Nord is not willing to use the bricks to build houses, but to build roads. We can see how much Nord attaches importance to it. Although it has been started for more than a week, the road here in Nanshan stronghold has only built seven or eight hundred meters, which is very slow compared with Tami town.

After Nord came here, he found that they were short of manpower. There were more than a dozen construction teams at the end of Tami Town, while there were only four construction teams in Nanshan stronghold, two of which were still building the market. Therefore, Nord didn't mean to blame them, but arranged the mountain people of Nanshan stronghold to help them.

Nord met the two team leaders here. They were the original villagers of Tami town and were very familiar with Nord. In their eyes, they were Lord Nord's lineage and confidants, so they had a great sense of superiority in front of other villagers or mountain people.

When Nord asked them about the progress of road construction, the two team leaders were very respectful.

"Lord Nord, with the help of these mountain people, we can speed up the progress of road construction. Please rest assured that we will not disappoint you."

"Don't be too persistent about the progress. You must ensure the quality, okay?"

After Nord encouraged them, he went back to Nanshan stronghold to have a rest. After walking around such a big circle, it was getting late. After Nord returned to his room, several old people in the room also had different thoughts. Tommy of Boca stronghold and yarman of toke stronghold came together to discuss things.

"Do you think our cottage should join the noble's territory in the future?"

Tommy of Boca stronghold asked leisurely. Just after they returned to their room, many mountain people from their own stronghold came to visit. From the mouth of these mountain people, although they didn't go out, they probably knew about the current situation of Nanshan stronghold market.

Therefore, Tommy specially came to yalman's room and discussed with him about the future. The two cottages have a high tacit understanding, perhaps closer than the relationship between far cottage and Lamo cottage. Although their cottages are very far away, it does not affect their close relationship at all.

Distance means they don't have too many conflicts of interest, and in the previous alliance, the two strongholds were responsible for easing the atmosphere of Yuanshan stronghold and Songjia stronghold, so many times they both advance and retreat together. In this case, Tommy still wants to discuss with yalman what to do.
