Previously, the road Jasmine built connecting to the town of Ankera only involved cutting the grass on top, trying to dig out the grass roots, and then compacting the earth to make it flat. Building a road this way actually wouldn't last long; weeds would overgrow the road surface again.
In this era, the proper method of road construction was to excavate the topsoil layer, clear away grass roots, lay a layer of rocks, and then backfill with mature earth and lime. Mature earth was earth that had been fired or steamed; this could effectively kill weed seeds and insect eggs in the soil, prolonging the lifespan of the road.
Therefore, a proper road cost both manpower and financial resources. Jasmine's castle had only just started digging the foundation; where would they get the manpower and money to build such a road?
