I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!-Chapter 369: Building a Road

Eric had anticipated this situation early on. The circumstances of the Kon and Queen tribes were different from those of Ark Assa and the Horned Goat people.

The Horned Goat people had no way out at that time, were saved by the Hadu tribe, and gradually developed feelings during the process of living together, so they decided to join after much consideration.

As for these newly arrived Snow Wolves, although their relationship with the Thomas tribe was quite good before, asking them to suddenly abandon their territory and old tribe and travel thousands of miles here - the current situation was already considered quite good. At least most of the Snow Wolves had integrated into life, and some even took the initiative to participate in work.

Warriors usually had their own pride. After all, they were the strongest warriors carefully selected by their tribes. Suddenly asking them to bow their heads and obey the orders of warriors from another tribe - it was understandable that they were unconvinced.

But not training was also good. Recently, the magical beasts around had been a bit restless. It seemed a high-level magic beast had arrived in the distance to contest territory, making the area around the Hadu tribe unpeaceful as well. It was just right to increase patrols a few times.

Even the number of beastmen on night watch had increased. Previously, a stray magic beast had run over, smelled the scent, and planned to enter the breeding farm to fill its belly. At that time, the houses hadn’t been built yet, and there were no beastmen guarding there.

Fortunately, the Snow Wolf patrol team caught it; otherwise, Eric’s breeding farm would have nearly had to start over from scratch.

...

"Joseph, Luban, you’re back!" Eric bent down enthusiastically to hug the two Dwarves.

He was designing garden blueprints with Bruno, trying to build it to look grand. Eric had almost utilized all the decoration ideas he had ever seen, then combined them with the tribe’s conditions to make improvements.

The garden prepared for Henry was built in the center of the tribe, not far from Eric’s house.

After all, the tribesmen intended to build houses around his residence and the cafeteria. This was undoubtedly the most central location of the tribe, which was close to Eric’s original plan.

As a sponsor who had provided a large amount of cotton seeds, and being a fragile human, Henry’s residence naturally couldn’t be too remote.

Construction on the small compound had already begun. Bruno was also afraid that the house built wouldn’t be liked by the human, so he came to discuss it with Eric. Dwarves were pragmatists; when building houses, they put function first.

Bruno really didn’t know what kind of houses humans liked. Even if they liked luxury, he couldn’t plaster gems all over the walls; he wasn’t that rich.

In Bruno’s heart, although Eric was young, he knew a lot of things and could definitely give him good ideas.

Eric had only seen noble houses on TV; he was just an ordinary person himself, so he could only offer some suggestions regarding convenience and comfort.

While they were discussing, Thomas arrived with Joseph and the others. Eric hadn’t expected them to return so early and was overjoyed.

After a moment of rejoicing, Eric led everyone to his house and boiled hot water to treat them.

Joseph couldn’t wait and said, "The Gray tribe has also finished building their brick kiln. For the first batch of fired bricks, Aunt Julia insisted we bring them back, saying they would use later batches to build their houses. I couldn’t refuse, so I had to bring them back first."

Riley and Minh nodded. To transport these bricks, they had worked very hard. Weight aside, the main thing was maintaining balance on the road to avoid breaking the bricks.

Minh recalled the difficulties on the road, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Dragging bricks on flat ground is fine, but encountering mountain slopes..."

Originally, the weight of these bricks was no problem for Snow Wolves, but unfortunately, they had to ensure the bricks didn’t break. Encountering rocky sections, they even had to clear the path first, dragging the travel time out by more than half.

Eric scratched his head; transportation was indeed a big problem. If the bricks broke, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?

"That’s why I thought about the problem of building a road. Not just the road to the Gray tribe, but later we also have to build roads to the Red Grass tribe and other frequently visited places. That way, whether transporting goods or traveling, it will be convenient and faster."

It was just that these roads definitely couldn’t be built at the same time. The project was too large and consumed too much manpower; with the Hadu tribe’s current capabilities, it was a bit difficult. But bricks were fragile, whereas food could handle a few bumps, so that could be left for later.

In his past life, Eric often heard a slogan: to get rich, build roads first. Now the Hadu tribe’s situation was: to build houses, build roads first...

Thomas nodded: "It seems we need to quickly build a road to the Gray tribe."

"Use what to build it? If we follow Eric’s previous idea of using cement, it wastes too much material and is troublesome. How about just making a dirt road for now?" Joseph frowned, slightly annoyed.

A dirt road was convenient; they just needed the tribesmen to clear the trees and bushes and flatten the rough sections. It was both convenient and fast.

Eric thought for a moment: "Joseph makes sense. We can temporarily make a dirt road first, and later when we have time, we can slowly turn it into a cement road."

Just like in his previous life, rural areas initially had dirt roads. At that time, having a dirt road that at least connected to the outside world for buying and selling goods was already pretty good. Later, when the country became richer, rural roads were gradually replaced by cement roads.

In any case, this road had to be built; otherwise, it would be very inconvenient.

He remembered watching the news in his previous life. In a remote place, there were continuous mountain ranges, and villages deep in the mountains basically didn’t have a flat road to the outside. Villagers going up and down the mountain even risked their lives, let alone developing the economy.

Although beastmen had good physiques, having a road would still be more convenient when transporting goods. Later, interactions between the Gray tribe and Hadu tribe would also be more convenient. For the sake of long-term cooperation in the future, this road also had to be built.

"If it’s a dirt road, then next time anyone goes to the Gray tribe, bring tools. With more beastmen going along, they can do the heavy lifting and open the path as they go." Hearing that they would make a dirt road first, Thomas looked much more relaxed.

There are no roads in this world; when people walk often enough, it becomes a road...

Unexpectedly, this saying was coming true.

For beastmen, it really didn’t take much effort. Next time tribesmen went to the Gray tribe, just bringing a few beastmen along would make it much faster.
