After Alves left, Laheim shut himself in the room and thought over and over what the little dwarf said. It was very reasonable. The art of balancing is a trick used by countless rulers. At the same time, the current situation is indeed divided into strong and weak.
Alves wanted to help him so that he could secure his position as the head steward of Blackhammer Castle and get some kickbacks. This was normal. However, Rahim always felt that something was wrong. As for the specific place, he couldn't explain it.
Maybe he can ignore these things and not cooperate with that dwarf. Anyway, he has to leave. He just wants to leave with the money. He just wants to settle everything with this place and go to the empire to make a living. He has even contacted the contacts there. But Laheim still has
Missing...
Yes, he is not willing to give in. This is an industry he has built with his own hands. In just one year, he has done what he could not do in Erengrad for more than ten years. The expansion of assets is several times, not just one hundred per year.
A fraction of the speed...
Moreover, Black Hammer Castle will obviously usher in a period of great development in the future. In the chaotic era, the developing territory has the greatest opportunity to get rich. If a place has been peaceful and peaceful for many years and the industrial chain is mature, there will be no development.
There is no room for it. Like the city of Kislev, like other big cities in the empire, where resources are monopolized by the big nobles and electors, the small nobles and small businessmen can only eat what they throw away or don’t want.
That part of the interest has very little room for development. Not to mention that I will go to the empire as a foreigner to make a living. Perhaps with my own assets, I can still be regarded as a named noble in Kislev.
The empire may be equivalent to an ordinary knight...
He was unwilling to leave. Maybe this was an opportunity? An opportunity for him to stand up again. He wanted to regain what he had lost... Late at night, Laheim lit a lamp and wrote a letter,
He will tell his friends in Ostermark that he will postpone going to the Empire for a few years. He still has unfinished business here. This is Blackhammer Castle, where he made his fortune, and he also has
We need to continue to develop here for several years and accumulate enough wealth, yes, wealth...
…
"The fish is hooked."
When a large amount of wheat and potatoes on the market were purchased by Laheim, Alves knew that this little nobleman from Erlengrad finally couldn't control the temptation and participated in the business. But this was just a matter of course from beginning to end.
It's just a trap.
Alves promised Quareara, Skargard, and Clive that after defeating Rahim, his assets would be divided among them in proportion. But now, Rahim wants to run away.
, he naturally wanted to catch him back. But he would not catch him with his hands, but with his mouth... With his eloquent persuasion, Laheim was finally fooled.
The trade list is real, but Alvis has no intention of letting Lahem's ship arrive at the port in the empire. The pirates have sharpened their knives and are ready. The raiders commanded by Serta are preparing for the upcoming plunder.
, I was very excited. The so-called living with the boss is a good life. As long as you keep your mouth shut, you are guaranteed to be popular and drink spicy food for the rest of your life. After discussing with Rod, Alves arranged the robbery. The Celta gang turned out to be
Even though they were pirates, they were familiar with robberies at sea. However, the goods they robbed could not be transported back to Blackhammer Castle, but had to be divided into small boats and taken to the black market in the empire for sale.
…
"Lord, Celta and the others have set sail."
Rhodes got the news that the pirates had moved out when he visited the stadium. This was very cruel, not even giving people a chance to escape. But at the same time, it was also very realistic. The dark world was full of dangers every moment, and it was too much.
If you are soft-hearted, you will be eliminated sooner or later. If you are not ruthless, I am afraid that the person standing here looking down at the audience is Laheim from Erengrad. Rhodes knows that he is not only a warrior, but also a warrior.
Lord. And lord - a kind of politician...
Just recalling the cooperation with this nobleman, Rhodes was filled with emotion. Back then, Blackhammer Castle was still a small castle, relying on a mine and some fields to survive. It was Laheim's investment that allowed the castle to slowly develop.
.Originally Rhodes planned to live in peace with Laheim, but how could he know that with the expansion of his assets, Laheim's desires also began to expand. And Erengrad's rebellion and his own departure from Blackhammer Castle further encouraged his desire.
The growth and spread of desire.
Rhodes could imagine how desire swallowed up Laheim's rationality day by day. When the old butler Muros couldn't do anything to him, the young noble thought that Blackhammer Castle was the one he was talking about.
After all, he even armed his own bodyguards for the first time... which made him pay a cruel price in the end.
Rhodes sighed and returned his gaze to the stadium. This huge building was almost completed, and the commission system was very effective. He asked all workers to say goodbye to dead wages, and the more they worked, the more they would get. At the turn of spring and summer,
The stadium has become a lively place.
In order to commemorate Caroline's dead father, Rod officially named the stadium Warrier Stadium. At the same time, this is not only a stadium, but also a place that can hold any event. Just like a football field is not only for playing football
Football, stars holding concerts, leaders holding pep rallies, schools holding sports meets, etc. can all be held in the football field.
In a similar way, at the moment, this huge football field looks like just a stadium, but Rhodes knows that in the future, all events of Blackhammer Castle, big and small, can be held here. So when the site was selected, Rhodes had the intention
The stadium was chosen at the junction of the old and new cities, that is, in the center of the town, so that people can gather.
But now it seems that no one can see where the new city is. That is in Rhodes' mind... In Rhodes' mind, he has already constructed a map of the future urban area of Black Hammer Castle. The north bank is close to Black Hammer Castle.
Due to the lack of planning and free development in the Reach, the urban area became dirty and messy. The streets were as narrow as intestines and could only accommodate two people walking sideways. Every time the market stalls were closed in the evening, all kinds of rotten food would be thrown away.
It's all over the place. This is really embarrassing.
Therefore, Rhodes will never allow this situation to happen again in the construction of the new city. It will be located on the lower reaches of the Dongquan River, close to the mouth of the sea. There will be the main dock area in the future. The Dongquan River is not like the river that flows through it.
The Lensk River in Oerengrad is a large river with deep water and wide width, which can be used by large ships. However, the Dongquan River has a fast flow and a narrow channel, which is not suitable for large ships. Although the docks in the upper reaches are prosperous at the moment,
But in the future it can only be used as an inner port for small boats to unload cargo. The real big development is in the downstream area, near the entrance to the sea. This place still looks desolate now, but in the future it will be a brand new urban area.
Rhodes has written the plan for the new city on parchment and introduced a community model. Each community is equipped with a clinic and a barbershop. The streets are distributed in a grid, and municipal buildings, health, and entertainment buildings will be distributed at the intersections of the road network.
, the most effective way to expand the service scope to cover the entire city.
Of course, planning is planning and cannot be developed at will. This is a step-by-step process. The population will continue to increase and houses will be built one after another, not all at once. In the past few months, Rhodes had just started to build the entire
Internal problems should be sorted out, and a set of practical internal operating mechanisms should be sorted out at the same time. Various departments should be set up in different categories, and the refugee issue should be properly handled. When all these are sorted out, large-scale development will be visible to the naked eye, and great development will gradually begin.
Arrival. The establishment of these mechanisms and the appointment of personnel are like the foundation of a building. Whether a city can be strong for a long time depends largely on whether the foundation is strong.
