Episode 466: The Cost of a Waterwheel Hut

"Well... 10 waterwheel huts is the size I've never heard of."

"Perhaps."

"I don't mind if it's my job to measure it, but wouldn't that be a waste of money"

It's understandable that Bandolfi would be worried.

In which territory are there new deputies to build waterwheel huts in all 10 locations?

Building a waterwheel cabin costs money.

First of all, it costs money to build a place to build a waterwheel shed.

I have a location problem.

The waterwheel hut must be built on horizontal land by the river.

Conveniently, there are few such lands, so it is necessary to accumulate soil and foundation stones to equalize the land.

Equilibrating land means labor costs.

It is also desirable that the river flow be constant.

We may drill waterways and in some cases dig deep into the river bottom.

In that case, there will also be labor costs.

When the river overflows with increased water, the risk that the waterwheel cabins will be flushed together must also be taken into account.

There is also a need to create an escape route for water for flood control.

There will also be labor costs.

Civil works in this world are all carried out by manpower.

Even labor costs.

"If it's a budget, there is. Don't worry about it."

Anyway, my former deputy has accumulated a fortune for me.

Through public works called the construction of a waterwheel shed, it needs to be restored to the villagers.

All you have to do is assume that your investment will be recovered so that the effort is not wasted.

"Ha..."

"I'm going to start as far as I can without putting my hands on it, but I just want room for a place so I can expand."

"Does that... do you mind if I go outside the village?

"Mm..."

If pointed out, the optimal location may also be outside the village.

The question is whether to stretch the outer perimeter of the village that far.

When it comes to simple defense facilities surrounded by wooden piles, increasing the distance increases the cost.

Just think a little and answer.

"Fine. Outside the village is also a candidate."

In the end, if you start a business using water trucks, the village population will increase, and more people should become formerly adventurers and resilient men dominated by manual labor. It is not a problem to be placed on the outer edge of the village.

It may well be natural that the wagon hut and the wagon hut are also outside the village, just as the carriage stowage is outside the city.

"It's nice to talk to an expert. It complements our perspective."

Praising from the heart, not the rhetoric, the surveyor shook his head.

"No, this is the one talking to the deputy, and he realizes how small he perceived his work. As long as you're ashamed."

"It happens. A lot of coincidences overlap and it's just about my current job. As a deputy, I'm a new amateur, so it would be helpful if you could lend me a lot of wisdom."

"Nice to meet you"

Just like when I came, I had a feeling I was going to do well with that young man while dropping off a surveyor who was leaving early.
