Chapter 538: Do you think Im always poor?
Since there were two caterpillars in the tunnel, the construction of the sewer in Westwind town had sped up greatly. They could dig out several miles of the sewer in a day. In the past, the workers had to spend a long time on digging and moving mud, and they had to spend a lot of boring time.
However, with the help of the caterpillars, these two processes could be skipped. Workers only need to repair the holes dug by the caterpillars, reinforce the walls, prevent landslides, brush cement, open trenches, etc., saving time and effort.
So the following work went quickly and finally the sewer was put into use.
The queen had already received Number 32s report, and even got the drawing of the sewer. Therefore, she was no longer interested in the structure of the sewer, but she was very interested in the town after the sewer was put into use.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
"Hey, damned man, take me to Westwind town. It took you several months to finish the sewer. I really want to know what's the use of it."
"But I don't want to move."
The queen said crossly, "don't think I don't know. You always rely on your maid to push your wheelchair when you go out. You don't need to move even if you take me to the town to have a look."
Being ridiculed face to face, Robb didn't blush at all. His face was so thick that it was almost crazy. "Forget it. Since you are so eager to see the scenery, I'll take you to see it. Lilian, wheelchair..."
So, a warm scene began!
On the cement road of Westwind Town, which had just been shrouded in darkness, Lilian, dressed in a maid's uniform in black and white, pushed the lazy priest and began to take a walk
Above her head, there was a rising moon with stars all over the sky. The town was ablaze with lights everywhere.
The scene was beautiful, but Robb kept complaining, destroying the beautiful night. "It's so late, but you, a crazy woman, wanted to visit the town at this time. Are you out of your mind?"
"You know I'm very busy during the day, so only at this time can I be free," the queen said. "Don't talk nonsense. Anyway, you know all kinds of magic and skills. If you use them, you can light up the surroundings, right?"
A clean environment could also guide the townsmen to become clean, and if a few people dont follow, they would be severely punished.
The queen silently kept this in mind.
Robb walked quickly around the town, and the queen soon noticed that there was almost no water pipe on the ground. Like Bright Road, Westwind town used a huge tower to supply water for the area. In this way, it was inevitable that many huge water pipes were set on the roadside, or even on the roofs, and then followed by many small water pipes.
These water pipes were not beautiful and were prone to getting damaged by something like a carriage. Once it was broken, it would cause a large amount of water to be wasted and affect the water supply of a large area.
However, there was no huge pipe on the ground of Westwind Town now! She could only see some small pipes on the walls of the houses.
The smart queen of course knew that the pipes had been moved through the sewer, so the ground was cleaner and tidier, and it could also protect the pipes from being accidentally damaged.
"This system is really awesome," the queen said. "After looking at the example, it's almost time for me to do it as well."
"Oh? You have the money to do this on Bright Road?" said Robb.
The queen smiled proudly. "Do you think Im always poor?"
However, after she said this pridefully, she suddenly changed her face from being prideful to a serious one. "Thank you for your guidance. In the past year, I have been using some of the measures you taught me, such as reducing military strength, using a minimum number of soldiers to defend the city, and developing my economy with great strength... Large-scale production, using advanced tools, and detailed division of labor..."
All right, all right. She listed a long list, and it took a long time for her to finish it. At last, she concluded, "this autumn harvest, we still used the method of not taxing ordinary people and taxing only the factories and businessmen. As a result, we collected a lot of money."
"Oh? Really?" Robb smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
The Queen's eyes were extremely complicated. "I always thought you were lying to me, but it was not until this tax payment that I realized that the money you took from me was nothing at all. What I got from you was far more than what you took from me."
