Alexander planned to put the newly captured workers in his sugar plant to expand his capacity.
Currently, he could not turn all the beetroot he produced into sugar.
He lacked enough manpower.
This led to him selling a lot of the raw vegetables to third party buyers which was perhaps even worse than getting pennies on the dollar.
Alexander was determined to stop it.
....
With the workshops done, Alexander at last took to the streets and found that the city had not changed that much in the following nine months.
Only many of the aqueducts that were under construction seemed closer to completion, the sewage works covered further of the city's underground, and there was a half built stadium in the central district.
Alexander thus toured the various districts just as a way to see the current state of his people.
