Chapter 281 - 28: New Plan_2

"If you want to become a great lord, you must know enough. A great lord is not necessarily good at fighting but must excel at management and administration. You don’t need to be an expert in every field, but you must dabble in everything. Before you have enough people to help you, you must do everything yourself. It will be very difficult."
"If the road were not difficult, then wouldn’t anyone be able to do it? In that case, the final victory would not seem magnificent."

"There are hardly any places for trade around Giant Snake City, which was the biggest problem for the gold mine before. The transportation costs were just too high."
"Maybe you could consider the Goblin Kingdom to the south. It’s the nearest place to us, only a seven-day journey." Barrel reminded.
Hesitating for a moment, Jones softly replied, "That’s a good idea. I should find some time to visit the Goblin Kingdom. But if we do that, we’ll need to build a road. That will require a lot of manpower."
Jones furrowed his brow, thinking carefully.

*Fortunately, after last night’s incident, he no longer had any reservations.*
