If it is just an ordinary building, it can be built directly on this cliff. All the undersides are stones, which are stable enough as the foundation. Even if you build a castle, there is no problem.

But it wouldn't be enough to think about the foundation of a mage tower. Think about it, if one day someone digs a hole under the mage tower and lets the mage tower fall into it, it would be funny.

Therefore, Jiayi needs to strengthen the foundation under the mage tower so that magic cannot easily affect the foundation below.

In the dug-out basement, Im held a thick metal cylinder in his hand and gestured on the dots drawn by Jiayi. The column looked as thick as a calf, and the upper line was full of runes, which looked a strange beauty inside. The light in the basement was very dark, and it suddenly looked like a cult figure.

"Kayi, is this OK?" Im pressed the pillar on the dot that Kayi had drawn and confirmed to Kayi.

Jiayi walked over and gestured carefully, then used the spell to calculate the precise direction, nodded to Im: "Yes, go down here."

Hearing Jiayi's words, Im activated the magic power, and a ray of light immediately appeared on the pillar, and all the runes were activated. Then the stone at the bottom of the pillar was like butter, and the pillar was like a hot iron bar, which was easily inserted into it and extended to the bottom.

The top of the pillar is parallel to the ground. Im converges his magic. The light on the pillar dimmed and embedded in the ground. It looks like a tiled floor. When you touch it with your hands, you can hardly feel the joint with the surrounding stones.

Seeing Im still looked at the newly installed pillar with some doubts, Jiayi walked over and said, "This is a skill I learned from the depths of the academy library. It is called the fixed pillar. After all, you can condense the entire mountain together. If you want to use the magic to break the foundation of the Mage Tower, you need to break the element pool to succeed, or you can directly flatten the mountain bag."

"But the cost of this pillar is really too high." Im sighed a little.

In order to make these pillars, Jiayi used up almost all the good materials stored by Yim. He used up hundreds of kilograms of mountain copper alone, and even used a piece of copper crystal, which made Yim feel very distressed.

Copper crystal is the crystal of copper, which is very rare. Generally speaking, metals are not like crystal diamonds, and other things that can become crystals, but under a series of harsh actions such as powerful magic pressure, they can become metal crystals, and their properties will become very different, very precious and rare.

It's much more valuable than diamonds.

Even so, Jiayi felt that the materials were not good enough, but this was the most suitable material for him.

A series of eight pillars were installed in the basement, and eight pillars were installed in other parts of the hill, one of which was installed next to the spring.

After these columns are installed, the foundation is finally completed. The rest is to build an element pool to connect these columns.

However, Jiayi has no materials yet. His materials have been listed and purchased through Valoca's branch in Wickham City. However, the transportation is inconvenient now, and it will take a lot of time to transport the materials.

Because of this snow, it started falling again.

The snow cover on the road is now even worse, and the town is completely isolated from the traffic outside. Fortunately, the Viscount made preparations in advance and transported a lot of food back from his own manor, the manor of the knights beside him, and the village below. At the same time, several surrounding hills were opened and people were allowed to go in and chop wood.

The hills in the territory are all private property of the nobles. Without the permission of the lord's mansion, villagers cannot enter to collect firewood. Usually, the firewood in the town is fired on several hills open by the lord, and there is a tax on the firewood. Now, because there is not much firewood in the town and the consumption has increased, the lord has opened more places to make people collect firewood, and the tax on chopping firewood has been cancelled, just to allow people to supply more firewood to the town.

So although the town is not well-off now, nothing goes wrong.

Fortunately, Flower took advantage of the snow to build a house for the poor in the West District. Most of the people who still live in the West District have moved to their new homes. Although they moved a little hastily, it was just right. After the second heavy snow, many houses in the West District collapsed, and even other areas have roofs crushed.

But this is just a rough overall state after all. If you pay attention, you can still see that people will freeze to death every few days, especially the elderly. Not everyone can have enough heating measures and may not be able to afford enough wood to keep warm.

Although there is suppression by the Lord's Mansion, the prices of grain and firewood are still rising all the way, and the Lord's Mansion cannot simply suppress them. Even the price of bread for the Jia family has increased a lot, and now it is starting to supply in limited quantities, so everyone cannot buy too much.

Because Gary asked Jiayi to store a lot of food in advance, the cost of Jiayi's bread is relatively low. Although the price has also increased, it is not too outrageous. In comparison, buying Jiayi's bread is a little more cost-effective.

If Gary had the supply open, it would have been a short time before all the food in the Jia family would have been bought out.

...

Jiayi took the time to return to the town. He could see many militias patrolling in the town. In order to ensure the stability of the territory, the lord's mansion recruited a lot of militias and mixed them with the original town guards to strengthen the patrol.

Although the last rebellion was extinguished very quickly, the grain transport team that went out received an attack and suffered a considerable loss. When the grain transport was the second time, the lord did not dare to divide his troops, and even borrowed the big and small greens together.

Although theoretically no one should have been in a dilemma with the Viscount after the death of the clerk, the Viscount no longer dares to take any more risks.

As soon as I walked near my home, I suddenly saw Flower and a team of people sweeping the snow on the street and clearing out the street.

Jiayi stepped forward and said hello: "Froul, why did you run to the street to sweep the snow?"

Could it be that this was a mistake and was punished by Viscount.

Flower raised his head and saw Shi Jiayi. He quickly stood up, stood up in his hand and said with a smile: "How is your construction of the Mage Tower in the valley? You know that people in the West Side have no source of income now, so I organized them to provide them with two meals and warm firewood, let them go out to help sweep the snow, and repair the roof for people, and charge a certain fee to maintain it."

Flower organized these people to build a living house outside the city. After the living house was built, it was not disbanded, and the heavy snow fell again. Flower did not let these people disband or stay idle, but began to organize these people to start sweeping snow in the town to ensure smooth flow.

In addition to these, Flower and others also took on some projects, such as repairing roofs and repairing collapsed houses, which was considered as pulling up an original engineering team. Although the benefits were not great, organizing these people so that they would not do anything, also eliminated a safety hazard.

However, they only swept the main streets in the town, and the snow in front of each house had to be handled by themselves. Now the snow outside has fallen by more than one foot (30 cm) thick. Because of these people organized by the Flower, the town is still smooth.

Viscount originally handed over these people to Flower's management just to train him, but he didn't expect Flower to do a good job, which solved a lot of trouble for the town.

Flower not only stood by and directed, but also helped to sweep the snow together. He consciously managed these people in semi-militarized management, and these people were very respectful to Flower.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiayi wanted to say that if some salt was sprinkled on the street, it would prevent the snow. However, thinking about the preciousness of salt now, he did not say such stupid words.
Chapter completed!
