For the East area of the Territory, she planned to take the industrial and production route.
She built ten more farm villas in their ’neighborhood’, as well as 200 more fields. Althea immediately ’rented’ 50 farms for her own use.
He-he.
There was no need for the ’territory’ to own fields because the taxes alone were enough to keep her warehouse stocked. It was so stocked that the upgrade condition—90% occupancy, ⅓ of the same item—was met quite easily.
[Would you like to upgrade Warehouse (Lv1) to Warehouse (Lv2)?
Area: 500 square meter, 6 meters height
New Functions: Automatic inventory function and automatic sorting. 100 copper per sorting
Cost: 300 wood, 200 stone, 500 gold]
She sighed. She clearly remembered the gold and wood required before was only 100 each, and no stone requirement.
It seemed that upgrading any building time was universally much more expensive than buying its most basic version.
Regardless—Naturally, ’Yes’ was clicked.
What was best about the upgrade was not the doubled floor size or the increased ceiling height.
It was the fact that there was now an automatic inventory function and automatic sorting!
Of course, the latter had a small charge of 100 copper per cubic meter of sorting. However, she valued her time to be much higher, so she thought it’d be worth it.
Leaving the warehouse behind, she went back to planning the Eastern part of the territory.
More factories were zoned in this area. Each lot would have a thousand square meters with a building footprint of around 600 square meters in size and five meters in height.
Like farm villas, there was also a level 2 fence surrounding each one.
So far, three factories have been made, two of which were hers and one was Baron’s wood factory. There were seven more currently being built.
These were also not for sale but leased for a minimum of 5 years. When she really expanded, perhaps (unlikely, but perhaps) she’d put more land for sale, but she was taking a bit of a condensed route now, so she decided to hold most of the land in her hands.
Anyway, the harder it was to own land in her territory, the more prestige would be attached to it.
As for the military, she left a huge part of the land for it not far from the village center, near the industrial and farming areas.
Here, they would build barracks on their own, jointly planned by soldiers from both worlds.
Although system barracks may be more efficient and may have better output, she couldn’t let go of her bathhouse. What if extreme weather changes happened tomorrow? What would they do?
Anyway, she was really looking forward to what the construction team, Drake, and Rowan would come up with. Whatever it was, it definitely wouldn’t be bad.
