The Golden Throne

"For the villagers, your highness? Why? They already have homes…"

"The houses are very scattered and waste a lot of valuable real estate. And once they receive some benefit, they will start helping out. Once news of a kind Baron reaches the ears of other commoners in the slums, they will migrate to Dilheim, and we will start getting a working economy. We need workers and this is the only way I can think of."

"Of course your highness, As expected of our prince. You have thought about everything."

Liu Feng then asked Nicholas, "Sir Nicholas, can you get me a detailed report of all the raw material that is available near my territory? Also, please look for any rocks that you do not recognize. It is about time that we start having proper sturdy houses, and I need to find limestone for that."

"I am sorry, Your Highness? Limestone? What is that?"

"It is not of your concern Sir Nicholas. Do not worry, I will take care of everything. Please conduct the survey. And how many villagers have registered?"

"Your Highness, there have been a total of twenty five people in both the wood cutting and strong men jobs. It looks like most of the men in the village have opted in."

"Most of them? Then who is going to farm? Who feeds this place?"

"Oh that. Your Highness, Dilheim transports a lot of ore in exchange for food. We do have a river next to us for water and sanitation."

"Ore? What ore?"

"Your Highness, there is an iron ore mine in the vicinity and a few people work there. But it has been depleting recently, so many of the men have rushed to work with you."

"Ok, we will take care of the Food later. First, have these blueprints taken to the managers. The steps of construction are written. Make sure that it is followed to the dot. And, I want most of the buildings to be done by next week. The villagers should move in quickly, so we will build wood houses on one side of the village. Then, we will concentrate on improving the other side from scratch."

"Yes your highness"

Liu Feng dismissed Sir Nicholas, and he went to sleep, dozing immediately. Then, unbeknownst to everyone, a shadow appeared on the window. He saw Liu Feng sleep, and just sat there. The moment he turned in his sleep, the shadow suddenly disappeared.

In Liu Feng's head, "There was a person tailing you Liu Feng. He saw you turn and just left.", Primitus said.

"Oh him? I saw him when we left. It appears that my father sent him, either to check my progress or to protect me. Doesn't matter. I didn't learn how to use magic circles for no reason."

Liu Feng went back to sleep.

The next morning,

The town was bustling. It was a town for namesake, but it was one nonetheless. Liu Feng's ambitious plans began to take place. Liu Feng ordered for an immense infrastructure overhaul, and he made a few sanitary precautions. He thought about a steam engine for a water pump, but then remembered the magic circles uses book he read in the trials. He connected a pipe to all the pipes that he already made the men put, and then started inscribing a magic circle on the pipe.

"You will use magic to draw water? How extravagant!", Lucas suddenly appeared next to him.
