116 – Demolished His House

Tabdakdak

The sound of horse hooves hitting the gravel road reverberated Its head raised, Blackdragon's black mane waved in the wind

The main road had been already under construction for over two hty co paid one copper coin per day In other words, this road cost the castle one hundred and eighty copper coins a day For the over two months of work, a total of over ten thousand copper coins, or about one gold coin, were spent

At tily inexpensive

The stones transported froravel, laid flat on the ground, and thenthe entire road look very clean and tidy

Without ceravel and sand would always lead to soly enter the shoes

“Unfortunately, the Thorns Ridge is just a stone-coveredso sstones Otherwise, theit look retfully The toas indeed quite poor, and the surrounding resources were extremely scarce

He had sold black pearls twice until now Therefore, his coin pouch was currently bulging It was filled with old coins

However, they could not be immediately converted into resources – no ht because of the limited pasture; no more construction projects could be carried out because of the lack in ularly because of the lack of stone; no more uncultivated land could be cultivated because of the scarcity of tools

Today, the entire town started to repair the wooden houses, leaving no workers to work on the road

Under the supervision of the patrol team and some clerks, the commoners started to check whether their houses were sturdy Cracked beae had to be reported to patch the holes, loose s had to be reported to be reinforced, rotten corners of walls had to be reported to be repaired

The commoners were quite enthusiastic as the sir lord was the one providing the repairadvantage of which would be akin to taking a big loss!

“Perhaps I should start baking bricks as there are not enough stones” Thought Liszt as he saooden houses being repaired in the vigorous major project assembly

Stonemasons and carpenters were construction workers from different worlds; commoners lived in wooden houses while aristocrats lived in stone castles

In the Flower Town, the only castle belonged to Liszt It was built froent Sticky rice was very precious and the sprite it borned was known as the ‘wall sprite' Its value lied not in it being edible but in its strong cohesive properties

Without cement, either mud or sticky rice was used as binder

Fortunately, the Tulip Family had a sticky rice lesser sprite Therefore, the castle built by the count was extravagantly built using sticky rice as binder

Such a castle wasmud as binder Additionally, it could be built much taller

Liszt's castle, for instance, could have the spire roof dismantled and then a few more stories added to it

“There is notbricks With suitable clay, appropriate bricks can be backed… However, to bake bricks, a kiln has to be built and coal or, at the very least, charcoal has to be used Without figuring things out, I ht not be able to burn appropriate bricks”

Liszt, who liked to read, to think about things in his free time, knew quite a lot of stuff

He knew about saltpeter-produced ice, clay-backed bricks, handunpowder recipe, soil cement, distilled spirit, pancreas soap recipe, telescope, fused glass, and so on With gunpowder figured out, even grenades could be eneral principle behind heels, plows, and windmills

But it was by no e into a physical reality, with the biggest constraints being materials and labor

Saltpeter-produced ice required saltpeter If the extremely s ice would be a pipe drea quartz sand and sodiuet quartz sand, a quartzto his htly transparent stone
