Alexander spent some more time with Krishok ironing out the details.
"My lord, will I be provided fuel or should I get it myself?" The tanner raised another issue.
"Hmmm, how should I do this," Alexander hummed thoughtfully for while, asking himself what fuel he would use in the kiln- firewood, charcoal, or coal and how should the logistics of these materials be.
And after a while, taking various things into account, and feeling that brick production was a critical component to the prosperity of the city, decided to give it independent fuel logistics capabilities.
"For making a million pieces of bricks a day, I will give you one hundred and fifty lumberjacks (150)." Alexander promised, reasoning, "One lumberjack, working in a team can cut one ton of firewood in an hour. So these men will be more than enough to cut and transport the 1,000 tons of firewood you will daily need."
