The super lord of the island

Chapter 144 143. Freshwater Pool and Square City
When it comes to dining, I have to introduce the dining rules of the [Food and Beverage Department] in detail.

From the beginning, the slave group belonging to Jialan's personal private property can enjoy the food provided by the cafeteria for free, three meals a day, fixed quota; during heavy tasks, there will be supper and extra meals.

The most important reason why slaves can enjoy this benefit is that they have no income, and all the income from their labor belongs to Jialan alone.

These new freedmen are poor people with almost no savings. Although they are paid after taking up the job, the salary is paid on a monthly basis, and they will not get it so quickly;
Moreover, the salary during the apprenticeship is very low. If all of it is used for food expenses, the quality of life will be very low, which is not conducive to the physical and mental health of residents.

Due to this situation, Master Jialan kindly gave these free citizens who initially joined Wuguang Island a three-month free meal benefit, so as to ensure the consumption ability and quality of life of the people.

At the same time, it also creates income opportunities for operators.

To give a recent actual case:

The City Hall received a business application from a barber named Diss. After verification, it was determined that Diss had the skills to cut hair, so Mag arranged for him a temporary open-air barbershop near the residential square.

There are barbershops, but if the residents' income is used for food, there must be very few people who are willing to go hungry for a haircut.

Conversely, if the residents don't have to worry about food and have spare money, it's not a big deal to have their hair cut and groomed once.

After the barber Diss has customers, then he has money to buy food to maintain his life.

Diss’ money is collected by the cafeteria, and the money earned by the cafeteria is handed over to the Ministry of Finance to pay salaries, and the salaries received by residents are used for consumption, forming a cycle.

Aurora Fort

The library on the second floor.

On the small desk, the government affairs that needed to be dealt with increased visibly with the naked eye. Before Jialan could breathe a sigh of relief, Yi Lianna walked in with another document.

"Oh~ lovely Elena! There is already a city hall, why do I need to deal with so many government affairs?" Jialan leaned her head back on the chair and said in an exaggerated tone.

"Hee hee! After all, they have just been established, and Mag and the others are not sure about many things. Of course, adults need to set the tone first and they will deal with it according to your wishes."

Since piercing that layer of window paper, Yi Lianna's temperament has become more and more moist and moving, and her every move exudes the charming charm of a mature woman.

Jialan opened her arms, hugged Elena's soft and plump body into her arms, smelled the fragrance lingering in her hair, and couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.

Seeing that Jialan's palm gradually went too far, Elena had no choice but to reach out to stop it.

"Okay, master~ um... This is the structural drawing of Fangshi submitted by Myron. In order to reduce the difficulty of construction and speed up the progress, in the design, except for the foundation, the rest of the structure is made of wood."

"Really? So the freshwater pool is finished?"

Seeing that Yi Lianna mentioned the business, Jialan was embarrassed to continue, and withdrew his hand to take the blueprint and spread it out on the table to examine.

The design of Myron is not significantly different from that of most square markets. Three rows of thick log pillars are used to support the wide ceiling covering the sky; under the shed, large wooden boards are used for partition, separating different categories of commodity areas and booth.

As for the location of Fang City, it is very ingenious, it is at the intersection of the road leading to Aurora Town from the wharf.

After the completion of the square city, it is located in the second ring area and is also the only way to enter and exit the wharf. It is foreseeable that this area will become one of the busiest places with the busiest traffic in the future, and the business will definitely be booming.

Jialan let go of Irina, picked up a pen and marked on the drawing.

"The overall design of the square city is fine, but the height of the pillars should be increased to increase the internal space, so as to ensure the rapid air circulation in the square city, so as not to affect the shopping experience when there are many people; in addition, windows need to be installed on the roof to let the light in. Shine in and add brightness."

"Are you going out?" Elena asked curiously when she saw Jialan get up.

"Well, I'm planning to visit the newly built freshwater pool. Come with me. Xiaoying will send you the blueprints."

"Okay sir~"

Xiaoying is a new maid who joined the castle. Together with Xiaoying, there are two other maids, both girls from the slums.

Because of lack of nutrition, they were too thin, so they were brushed off when recruiting workers several times, but Yi Lianna was kind-hearted, and when she saw them, she beat them to her castle.

Jialan didn't say anything when she knew about it, but only told Elena to train her well and learn the corresponding noble etiquette as soon as possible.

After leaving the castle, Jialan took Elena along the main road and headed straight to the eastern suburbs, and soon came to the location where the freshwater pool was being built.

A straight ditch runs from the sea all the way inland, through the windbreak and into the interior.

Looking down from the sky, it seems that the sea has inserted a long and narrow straw into the land, and the top of the straw is a bulging round oval pool.

The whole body of the pool is covered with tight and flat stone slabs, which have been cleaned spotlessly.

The diameter is 18 meters, the total depth of the bottom of the pool is nine meters, and it shrinks down in steps at intervals of three meters. The maximum water capacity is 2000 cubic meters, and the maximum water injection rate is 10 cubic meters per second.

It can be called a small freshwater lake, but the gates have not yet been opened to let water in.

In this long and narrow canal that connects to the sea, several layers of filtration links are arranged to prevent the messy things in the seawater from being brought into the pool. After being purified by the magic circle, it is enough to meet the drinking standard.

"My lord, this freshwater pool is bigger than that on Walrus Island."

Elena walked to the pool. The wall at the edge of the pool was 1.5 meters above the ground, which served as a protection to prevent people from falling or littering. Of course, after the official operation, it needs to be capped and guarded by special personnel.

Around the freshwater pool, there are five water intake points that are evenly spaced. As long as the water intake valve is opened, fresh water will flow out of the pool continuously, which is convenient for residents to take water.

It can also be poured into a water truck, and the water truck can be transported to the street that is too far away from the fresh water pool, and then the residents can fetch water for use.

Although it is more troublesome, this method has become the water supply system of most towns, and the future Aurora Town is no exception.

Theoretically, according to the flow rate of this pool, if you save a little, it is enough to supply the domestic water for all the residents of a large town.

It's just that the magic circle that converts seawater into freshwater needs energy to operate, so the water price really restricts the amount of freshwater residents can use.

If water is cheap, residents will use more; if water is expensive, residents will use less.

If you run into an unscrupulous consul, you will adjust the water price in the town to a very high level. In this way, not only the energy consumption of the freshwater pool will be reduced, but the money collected will also increase. A group of officials.

Jialan naturally wouldn't do this.
