39, Norfolk river channel construction plan
Seeing that St was in a good mood, Leo asked boldly: "Earl, your trip to London seems to be very exciting. Can you tell me carefully?"
"Yes, Earl, although I went to London with you this time, I don't know many of the details!" Galen also interrupted.
Unable to resist the curiosity of the two, Scott had to tell them about the London incident.
After listening to Scott's story, the two were stunned.
"Your Majesty, are you too bold? Are you not afraid of your Majesty's punishment in this way?"
Scott smiled casually: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Besides, even if something really happens, Bishop Bert will be in front of you, so don't worry about such things. Doing your job well is the main thing! In addition, this matter should not be made public, so take care of your mouth, otherwise I don't mind taking care of you."
"No, no, no, this is not hard work, we will take care of our mouths." The two of them shook their hands as soon as they heard this.
Suddenly remembering something, Scott asked again: "By the way, Garen, let you investigate the things on the French battlefield. How are you investigating now? Our Nock army really has such great power. Once we enter the French battlefield, we will reverse the defeat?"
Garen quickly replied: "The matter has been investigated clearly, and you may not believe it if you say it!"
As he said that, Garen reported the findings to Scott in simple words.
The general meaning is this:
Because Scott's previous behavior was too cruel, he directly sent the nobles who opposed him to the French battlefield. At this moment, these nobles were working hard to improve their status with the help of military merits on the French battlefield, and then return to the Kingdom of England to take revenge.
After reporting the news, Galen said with great concern: "Earl, your behavior of sending them to the French battlefield now does not seem to be the right choice. If they make great contributions on the French battlefield and then come back to increase their titles, then what should we do at that time?"
Before Scott could speak, Leo took the lead in speaking: "Galen, don't spend your energy on physical exercise, you can also move your brain a little! Don't you know? The more they can fight, the less likely they will be to come back, so we don't need to spend time on these people."
Garen scratched his head and smiled honestly: "What do you mean? I don't understand it very well."
However, Leo did not answer him, but just turned his head: "Don't say you know me when you go out in the future!"
There was no way, Garen could only turn his attention to Scott.
Scott complained: "Galen, you really should use your brain more! Think about it carefully, if you are a general on the battlefield in France, now there are many people who can fight. Once a war breaks out at this time, will you send them out to fight? War is cruel. No matter how powerful a person is, he will be killed sooner or later. Therefore, there is only one fate for those people, that is, to die in the war! Since they are all dying, why should we bother them?"
"So that's what it means!" Garen turned his head and felt embarrassed.
After taking a sip of water and moistening his throat, Scott waved his hand and said, "Okay, you two can go down and work hard. I guess in the near future, His Majesty the King will send someone to hand over the army. By the way, how many people have we recruited now?"
"Now there are nearly a thousand people!" Leo replied.
Scott asked again: "How did they train?"
Leo quickly replied: "After several consecutive days of training, they have already mastered the Norfolk accent; in addition, they have memorized all the lines we taught very well, and I believe there will be no problem."
Scott nodded with great satisfaction: "Okay, you guys go down!"
"Yes." The two agreed and left quickly.
After the two left, Scott ordered people to call Albert over.
Looking at Albert, Scott asked him about his work: "How is the recent work? Has the Norfolk River Transportation Line been constructed?"
Albert quickly expanded the map: "The river route is good enough."
As he said that, Albert pointed to the map and introduced Scott one by one.
Albert's idea was very clear. He first connected the rivers and lakes on the land along the terrain, and then built artificial lakes near the sea to regulate the flow of seawater and river water. Finally, a gate was set up at the mouth of the river to artificially control the balance between rivers and seawater to ensure that Norfolk can ship normally throughout the year.
After reading Albert's idea, Scott praised: "Your idea is great. From today on, you will be responsible for the excavation of Norfolk River Transport Network."
Albert quickly bowed his head and thanked: "Thank you for your trust, I will do my best to complete the task."
"Well, but there are some small details to be improved in some places." Scott pointed his finger at a place on the map.
"Your place design can indeed save manpower, time and money, but in this way, passing ships and merchants just avoid some cities, towns and villages along the way! So what is the meaning of such shipping? So when planning shipping, don't try to save effort and money, but cover all towns to the greatest extent. After all, shipping is to serve the population. Without the population, there will be no economic benefits."
"In addition, if I remember correctly, this place is a relatively loose soil, and there are no trees or plants around it! If you have to dig a river here, once the river flows, it will inevitably wash out the soil on both sides! Once the soil is washed down, it will easily accumulate the riverbed, either causing the river block or the river bottom is raised and flooded! So this place must be avoided."
Albert nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, and from time to time he took a pen to write a note on the paper.
Seeing Albert taking notes, Scott simply poured out all the geographical knowledge in his mind: "In short, when building a river channel, first, you must pass through densely populated urban villages; second, you must avoid loose soil and try to choose lush trees; third, when building a river channel, try not to fertile farmland, and do not occupy urban land with important geographical locations, you can use it at will in other places!"
