Barrett was leading people to test-fire various batches of bricks, because if Jasmine's castle was to be sturdy, it could not rely on crude sun-dried mud bricks forever.
Under tight budget constraints, without the money to purchase large quantities of high-quality stone and bricks from the outside, and considering the difficulties and high costs of long-distance transportation, they could only utilize the locally available soil and stone materials.
However, most of the Black Dragon territory was wilderness; the land was barren or mixed with a lot of sand, and weeds grew everywhere. Finding a high-quality clay deposit suitable for firing hard bricks was not easy.
Currently, Barrett was still persistently leading people to dig and collect soil samples everywhere in the territory for testing—firing them and then smashing them to check their durability, wanting to find a type of soil that could be fired into sturdy, load-bearing red bricks.
