348: Chapter 348: Looking for Engineering Planning 348: Chapter 348: Looking for Engineering Planning “How long will it take? I’m really pressed for time. If you can’t make the trade, then I’m not without other people to deal with.” Indeed, on the Imperial City side, although the slave market is very convenient. But in reality, there are a lot of slave traders, just that they are not official. Even some of the nobles, as long as you pay them, they can sell off the commoners under their rule just the same. Zhao Guang didn’t like to deal with them because he didn’t want to get involved with innocent people. At the very least, the majority of slaves in an official slave market were obtained through regular channels. Ironically, but such is the harsh reality of this world. “We, we will strive to deliver them to you within three months. However, the cost of transportation along the way will need some contribution from you.” Long-distance transportation is definitely no small sum; if Zhao Guang doesn’t pay up, they would incur a significant loss. After all, these are ordinary slaves, not some highly valuable ones. “Rest assured, I am aware. The transportation cost will be taken care of, but you must not mistreat these slaves—I need them to be able to start working as soon as possible.” “Please rest assured, we will definitely take care of that.” Three months, the time is neither long nor short. “So, how many people can you provide right now?” I certainly can’t just go there by myself and wait; I need a group of people for the initial construction. I may know few, but I still need some. “Currently, the type you need, we can provide no more than a thousand people. If you also want those slaves without families, we should be able to provide over two thousand.” “Then send them all to me,” Zhao Guang said without hesitation. For the first batch, there’s no need for those with families. The only reason for wanting these people was to ensure their greater loyalty to the territory. As long as the territory can provide them with a stable living environment, these people would not easily betray you. However, the ones going over first will really have to work; not to mention others, the houses needed by the later arrivals will have to be built. Wait, houses? Zhao Guang felt a headache coming on; developing a territory really requires too many things. Relaying on oneself alone to think about everything, there will always be various oversights. Even if I have two subordinates who can help me plan, manpower is still insufficient. It seems that my brain trust is not enough; I’ll have to organize with Qiao Miya and Miller later. It’s not like I can solve everything myself; what then do I need these people for? However, in the beginning, it’s better to use my own abilities to give them a “boost.” “What? You need an engineering planning team? What are you planning to do? If it’s building houses, just leave it to them; you don’t need to trouble yourself. Or do you want to learn civil engineering yourself?” Not long after leaving, Zhao Guang came back with such a capricious demand that Zhao Yan was speechless. My company does have an engineering team, and they are continuously constructing various types of transportation infrastructure in the province. Through practice, this engineering team has become incredibly skilled by now. They might not be as good as other teams in the field of skyscrapers, but in infrastructure, they are second to none, just behind the national team. It was unexpected, though, that Zhao Guang would start eyeing our engineering team. Struck by a thought, Zhao Guang quickly said, “It’s like this, I’m planning a game project, but I want it to be quite realistic. So first, I need the engineering team to do some planning.” Zhao Yan was utterly confused; how did this suddenly shift to a game project? What was Zhao Guang doing before? Trading various goods, though it’s unclear where they were sold off to. Also, gold jewelry and agriculture stuff—how did it suddenly jump to the gaming industry? That’s totally unrelated, right? Is it really because he has money that he wants to try everything? That would be too scary. “Do whatever you want, you go ahead and tinker to your heart’s content.” After thinking for a bit, given Zhao Guang’s current worth, even a bit of tinkering wouldn’t matter. At least, these things aren’t harmful, and they won’t impact him negatively. “Then I really appreciate it,” Zhao Guang said. Zhao Yan cursed irritably and then gave Zhao Guang the contact information. It wasn’t long before Zhao Guang managed to get in touch with the in-house engineering team. Knowing that it was their own big boss, they acted very respectfully. “Alright, so that’s the deal. You guys plan it out as soon as you can.” The map Zhao Guang provided was of his own territory in the North of the Empire. But this map was very rudimentary, so crude that it was almost impossible to use. “Don’t we need to do an actual survey of the geological conditions?” an engineer raised his hand to voice his concern. “It’s just a game; even if we want it realistic, there’s no need for it to be exactly the same as reality. Let’s assume that this location is suitable for construction. First, work on a preliminary design for me.” The chief engineer sighed, not expecting that the big boss wanted them to design game blueprints. No wonder the map was so simple; any proper map wouldn’t look like this. After all, times have changed, and for a map from the Otherworld to be of this quality is already quite good. Zhao Guang was also a bit speechless; there was temporarily no way to explain in further detail, he just gave them a rough idea. All he wanted was a planning design. In this regard, engineers from Earth far surpassed those in the Otherworld. “With such a simple blueprint, we can get it done in a maximum of three days. We’ll show you what we’ve got after three days.” Zhao Guang didn’t want to stress them out: “Then three days it is. It’s okay if it’s not finished; I’m not in a hurry for now.” Indeed, it would take two to three months just to make the journey from the Imperial City. This time, it wasn’t a deliberate slowing down; with so many people, it simply isn’t easy. Unless all these slaves are provided with vehicles... Wait, what about tricycles? With tricycles, it might take less than a month to get there. Thinking of this, Zhao Guang hurriedly contacted his sister to place an order for tricycles. “Listen here, that’s enough from you, do you really think I don’t have things to deal with every day?” “Please, please, this is quite important,” Zhao Guang entreated. “Important, my foot! It seems like you’re doing this on purpose; I never even know where the materials you purchase end up.” Feeling that his sister might get angry, Zhao Guang quickly said, “This is just an experiment. If you feel it’s too much trouble, I could look for another company instead.” “Shut up, tell me the requirements. If we went to another company for such matters, wouldn’t we lose face?” Sure enough, his sister placed great importance on the company, and Zhao Guang revealed a cunning smile.
