This building gives a huge reduction in the costs of construction and shipbuilding.

The advent of steam power means that sawmills are no longer tied to watercourses for their power and they can be built anywhere, thus improving productivity. A sawmill also makes a considerable contribution to the industrial wealth of a region. However, working conditions are not very good, and the lower classes are unhappy as a result. The invention of machine tools greatly improved the productivity of sawmills. The invention of the circular saw and gang saws meant that a tree could be turned into planks in one easy step. Both of these inventions were prone to breaking down: the circular saw was easily damaged by overheating or dirty logs. The expensive nature of this equipment led to the creation of a new sawmill technician known as a saw filer. These men were highly skilled in metalwork and their primary task was to keep the saws in perfect working order. High speed saws are not the safest pieces of industrial equipment to work near, and deaths and injuries were common.

Horse Stud Farm(育馬場(chǎng))

馬匹養(yǎng)殖提高了騎兵招募的坐騎品質(zhì)，為募兵提供了新的騎兵單位。畜牧業(yè)的進(jìn)步使得養(yǎng)馬人可以對(duì)他們希望遺傳的特質(zhì)更具選擇性，因此提高了他們馬匹的軍事價(jià)值。更好的繁殖計(jì)畫使得騎兵單位招募變的極其便宜，因?yàn)樗枰ㄙM(fèi)在尋找品質(zhì)優(yōu)良坐騎上的努力減少了。一個(gè)種馬場(chǎng)同樣給予了地區(qū)顯著的農(nóng)業(yè)財(cái)富。

後面的地名太多了，我就不翻譯了……大意是介紹法國(guó)的一個(gè)著名種馬場(chǎng)?；蛟S暗示了法國(guó)初期在這一建築上的優(yōu)勢(shì)。

Horse breeding improves the quality of mounts for cavalry recruits, aiding the recruitment of new cavalry units. Advances in animal husbandry allow horse breeders to become more Selective about the traits they wish to cultivate, thus improving the military worth of their horses. With better breeding schemes the recruitment of cavalry units becomes significantly cheaper, as less effort has to be expended in finding good quality mounts. A stud farm also adds significantly to the agricultural wealth of a region. Historically, the Tarbes Stud Farm near Lourdes in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France was one of the most famous of the Napoleonic era. Established in 1806, it was created to provide hussar regiments with horses. It took pure-bred horses from many sources, including the pure-blooded English, pure-blooded Arab, as favoured by Napoleon himself, along with French saddle, Merens, and Clydesdales from Brittany and Franche-Comté. The Anglo-Arab cross was first produced at Tarbes. The stud farm remains open to this day.
