Convincing Diaogosis

Alexander's decision to drastically reduce his plans for the residential buildings was based on pure maths.

Something that Diaogosis seemed unable or unwilling to consider.

So he decided to show the man that wanting to continue with this project regardless was an exercise in futility.

"Diaogosis," He gently called out, and in a fake understanding tone said, "I understand your passion for your work, But it is simply not possible to complete the constructions at the pace I imagined." He said so shaking his head.

"Let us see why." Alexander then raised his index finger dictatorially.

"According to what I have observed from being here with you, a worker can use up to 500 bricks or a ton of stone's equivalent and close to a hundred fifty kilograms of cement a day."

"So, with the men people under you, only you will need two and a half million bricks and seven hundred and fifty tons of cement per day."
