The Dongquan River Dam was completed, the irrigation area was formed, and the basic layout of the agricultural circle was completed. For more than half a year, Black Hammer Castle ushered in great development, which can almost be said to be a precious golden period.
Development is full of opportunities. Along with this wave of large-scale development, there is also a group of newly wealthy people who have developed. Their assets are not yet noble, but they can already live a life like an ordinary knight by running a small business. There are
A servant has his own house and shop. All he needs is his own small piece of land.
But regarding canonization, Rhodes is still very strict. Not just anyone can be canonized and become a knight. In Rhodes' territory, becoming a knight is a symbol of status and a symbol of glory. Two
Over the years, only Serta and Yeskovitch have become new knights. Serta is responsible for the daily military affairs of the Norsca Chapter and the management of the Norse civilian areas. And Yeskovitch is
Responsible for the daily affairs of the Bear God Temple.
Rhodes granted them two pieces of land on the outskirts of Blackhammer Castle. However, only Celta accepted the land. As a devout Esun believer, Yeskovitch did not accept the land. His thoughts were still focused on
In terms of spreading the Way of Esun, in addition to teaching believers to believe in the pure Esun faith every day, they are also responsible for the daily affairs of the temple, including receiving people, cleaning the temple, purchasing food, etc.
As the population continues to increase, the construction of the new city is gradually proceeding. Unlike the old city, the place chosen by Rhodes for the new city is located in the lower reaches of the Dongquan River. The land here is flat with almost no hills and mountains, making it a good residential area.
.
According to town planning theory, Rhodes planned the new city into a large urban area composed of residential areas. The road width can accommodate at least two horse-drawn carriages traveling side by side. Some main roads can even accommodate four horse-drawn carriages traveling at the same time. At the same time, in order to prevent the road from being blocked in rainy days
To prevent water accumulation, the roads in the new urban area are designed to be slightly elevated in the middle and slightly inclined to both sides. There are drainage ditches buried on both sides. If there is a heavy rain, the rainwater will flow to the drainage ditches on both sides, and the terrain will be used to drain the water away.
The slope is extremely subtle and can hardly be felt during normal use, similar to a floor drain. For this reason, Rhodes also selected a dozen workers from the Ministry of Urban Construction to be responsible for the maintenance and repair of roads throughout the city, and to participate in other urban construction in their free time.
Although there is no requirement for a uniform style on the houses, they must be neatly located and consistent horizontally and vertically. Viewed from the air, a regular square area is formed, and each community is equipped with a clinic and a school.
Children are sent to do child labor every day in the old world continent. This is not allowed in Rhodes' territory. Teachers will be responsible for educating children between the ages of six and fourteen. If the children are above the age of fourteen, they will be able to do so.
You can continue your studies and enter medical school, law school or military academy, etc. The prerequisite is that you must pass an examination and be checked by Alves himself.
The cooperation generally involves Rhodes making plans and designs, and then Alves executing them on the spot. Of course, these plans and designs must be made known to Alves in advance, and his opinions must be sought to determine the feasibility. Since various industries in Black Hammer Fort are currently still
It is considered a stable and healthy operation, and there is no high unemployment rate. Therefore, the people's food and clothing can be guaranteed, so they are willing to let children study and study instead of sending them to do child labor to supplement the family income.
Underground projects are being constructed simultaneously with the above-ground buildings, and sewers are indispensable. Although rat men are very annoying and pervasive, without construction of sewers, the health of the people cannot be guaranteed.
Rhodes was really worried about the sewer project. He imitated the design of the Secret Word Castle and set up many checkpoints in the sewer. Once a foreign object invaded, a trap would be triggered, thus notifying the defenders in the castle as soon as possible. In addition, Luo
De and the witch hunter Diego reached a consensus to form a patrol team to patrol the city and sewers. Once ratmen or chaotic forces are found, they will be eradicated immediately. They will be destroyed before the harm expands.
The patrol team will be sent directly from the castle, equipped with dwarf muskets, crossbows and long swords, and will be responsible for daily patrols and routine inspections of the sewers.
Regarding the market, Rhodes asked the Ministry of Health to set up an inspection team, which is also responsible for conducting irregular patrols and inspections in various markets in the city. Especially the meat market. Rhodes has been to Kislev City and also to cities in the empire.
I know that in a big city, there are people of all kinds. There are people who add water to pork, hang mutton and sell dog meat, and even sell rat meat instead of pork. Anyway, if you add some rat meat to the meat sauce, no one will notice. No.
Some unscrupulous traders will do anything to save costs.
These are the key targets of the inspection team. Rats shuttle through dirty sewers and garbage dumps all year round, carrying a large number of germs. More than a thousand years ago, a large-scale plague in the Old World killed nearly 1,000 people.
Three-quarters of the people's lives. Although this was caused by the rat men underground, it is inseparable from the fact that people did not pay attention to their livelihood at that time, allowing the plague to spread through multiple channels.
Rhodes knows that in this regard, as long as the law enforcers are strict, it can actually be eradicated. The reason why Kislev City and the Empire have been unable to eradicate this phenomenon for a long time is mainly because many unscrupulous traders collude with the law enforcers behind the scenes.
, as long as you pay some "protection money" or something, their business will continue as usual. The worst thing is that when you come, notify me in advance so that I can be prepared and take out qualified things for inspection. When you leave, I will continue to do it.
My business. Everyone got the money and everything is fine.
In order to prevent such a situation from forming, Rhodes had already planned to arrange for Sharak's priests to serve as supervisors in the inspection team, or directly as captains.
Pious faith is the most powerful shield against corruption. Sarlacc is the goddess of mercy, and she will never tolerate the harm to the people. Arranging priests of Sarlacc as members of the inspection team is to truly implement this work. Of course, it cannot
Take up too much time of these priests, otherwise, if you leave the monastery for too long, you will still be susceptible to corrosion from the outside world.
Therefore, Rhodes asked them to participate in patrols for only one day a week. This work is voluntary, but due to the specificity of the work purpose, many priests choose to actively participate... so that people can come to seek medical treatment and seek God after they are troubled by diseases.
It is better to suppress the disease and pain at the original source.
As a result, the expansion of the monastery that was promised to Lyanna is now about to be implemented. The engineering team is busy again. Since the establishment of the Urban Construction Department, this department has been the busiest department in the entire Blackhammer Castle. Chief Engineer Brown
He was so busy that he didn't even bother to eat every day. And Rhodes also had a candidate for the third Knight of Blackhammer Castle...
