I Became A Black Merchant In Another World

"As you all know, creating a city from scratch is no easy task. There are issues with capital, administration, and development. But the main reason why most new city developments fail is that it’s difficult to provide proper jobs for the people who will live there."

The Roman Empire was a master of city development.

When they went to war, they fought, and during peacetime, they did more digging and civil engineering work than anything the 21st-century Korean army could even dream of.

Starting from their time as recruits, after nearly 20 years of military service, they were experienced enough to become site managers at any construction project.

Using that experience, many of Europe’s well-known cities, such as Paris and London, were built by Romans, but it was the Roman legions stationed there that helped maintain those cities.

Similarly, many cities in the Toscana Empire were built using the same principle.

"But the new city being developed by the Rothschild family has already solved all those problems."

"How did you solve such a complex issue?"

"My lord, you’re aware that the weapons and armor factories set to open in the new city will employ more than 2,000 workers. If you include their families, at least 6,000 to 7,000 people will settle in the city."

In the 21st century, if you have good access to Seoul, it’s easy to throw up a stake on some vacant land and declare, "This is a new city," and the new city development project will go ahead smoothly.

For the past 20 or 30 years, people who became wealthy overnight from real estate redevelopment in places like Pangyo, Gwacheon, Bundang, and Gangnam are everywhere.

With a car, you can get to Seoul in an hour, an hour and a half, so everyone chooses to live in new cities, which are cheaper than Seoul.
