Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1331

When asked about the ongoing project to build the river channel and the foundation dam, Edwin took out the blueprints and explained everything in detail.

“The project has become quite large. It had been planned for years, but with the war depleting the treasury back then, we couldn’t move forward. All we could do was clear the river silt every year.

“However, since the end of last year, we’ve begun constructing a reservoir at Gatekeeper Creek and started diverting the river. The river channels around the capital are also being reinforced, and the silt is being cleared. We expect most of it to be completed by the end of this year”

Impressed by the scale of the project, Carissa asked, “So, what kind of workers are used for building the reservoir, setting up the foundation dams, and clearing the river channels?”

Edwin thought she was concerned about the treasury’s funds being drained for the war, so he reassured her, “Part of the workforce is made up of conscripts, and the rest are hired laborers.

“Altogether, there are around 20,000 workers, and their daily provisions are not cheap. To save on costs, the wages for the laborers have been reduced. Fortunately, more than 10,000 are conscripted laborers, so we only need to provide food and not wages.”

Carissa nodded. “And which official is in charge of the riverworks project?”

“Cameron Judd. He works with the Waterworks Department,” Edwin answered.

“Where is he from?”
