Rhodes has recently become full of energy again. The completion of the water conservancy project in the upper reaches of the Dongquan River has turned both sides of the Dongquan River into fertile fields. A steady stream of vegetables and fruits is shipped from the farm and transported along the Dongquan River to Heilongjiang Province.
Hammerfort.
The development of agriculture has promoted market trade. Surplus potatoes and wheat can also be used to make wine. Vodka is an excellent export product for Dulong City. The dwarves never take credit, so a steady stream of wealth comes from south of Dulong City.
Next, it was transported to Blackhammer Castle, filling the pockets of Blackhammer Castle, and also filling the official banks in the town. The excess funds were then used to lend money. In just one year, Rhodes not only took back the original refugee shelter
The required costs were reduced and at least half of the profit was returned.
As the intensity of farmland reclamation increases in the future, these incomes will increase. At the beginning of the year, Rhodes reached an agreement with the farmers who opened up wasteland. They will hand over 10% of the grain harvest in the first year and 100% in the second year.
20. As long as there is no large-scale natural disaster, Blackhammer Castle's income increase will not be a problem. The granary will become more and more abundant. If there is a war in the future, there is no need to worry about food and grass.
The next thing Rhodes has to do is to integrate resources. The economies of scale that he talked about with Caroline before are now time to put them into practice.
In order to integrate it more clearly, in a more organized and step-by-step manner, Rhodes called Alves to compile and classify the detailed information of various industries in Blackhammer and Heidelberg. After making it into a table, you can clearly see the current situation.
The development of various industries between the two places.
For example, at present, the output of iron ore in Heidelberg is far greater than that of Heidelberg next door. At the same time, in the forging industry, Blackhammer is also far better than Heidelberg. There are a total of eight blacksmith shops in Heidelberg, two of which are families.
There is only one large workshop that employs blacksmith apprentices. And the size here is relative. Compared to the blacksmith shop of the dwarf rune blacksmith Wadlin in Blackhammer Castle, the large workshop in Heidelberg seems small.
Already.
However, Heidelberg still has advantages in certain industries. For example, as Rhodes has noticed before, Heidelberg's brewing industry is more developed than Blackhammer. There are a total of nineteen breweries in Heidelberg, and their scale is compared to Blackhammer.
Compared with the wineries in Heidelberg, they are much larger. The annual output of these wineries is twice that of Blackhammer Castle. When Varrel was in power, Heidelberg often held wine festivals, and Blackhammer Castle would have been much bigger if it had not been for Laheim.
After a wave of investment, there are still only three or two private processing workshops.
At the same time, in the textile industry, Heidelberg also outperformed Blackhammer. Not only did it win in terms of output, but also in quality. Therefore, after comprehensive analysis, Rhodes adjusted and divided the various industries. The forging industry will continue to expand in the next year.
All of them will continue to be concentrated in Blackhammer Castle, with raw materials directly supplied from the deep pit mines, and the blacksmiths' guild supervises the forging. The brewing and textile industries will gradually move from Blackhammer Castle to Heidelberg for development. Only when the industries are concentrated can they
Create scale advantage.
Other industries, the ceramic industry and the furniture industry are still developed in Heidelberg, while glass production and handicraft products are in Heidelberg. Generally speaking, after the industrial division, Heidelberg focuses more on heavy industry, while Heidelberg focuses more on light industry.
This is a drastic change, and not all lords can achieve this. The reason why Rhodes can make such plans and adjustments is also because of the special background. After all, Caroline is his sweetheart.
My wife basically listens to her on all major matters, so I can safely transfer some properties to her. And she is also willing to cooperate and transfer some properties to Blackhammer Castle.
If possible, Rhodes also plans to carry out a deep integration of the two places, that is, to integrate Heidelberg and Blackhammer Castle from a political level. The finances can even be shared and resources can be shared. In this way, it is not as simple as two castles, but
It is a regional community. There is me in you and you in me, we are inseparable. After all, the power of two hands is far greater than the power of one hand.
…
After walking through large tracts of golden wheat fields, Tarinham finally arrived at Bertot's home. This is a country manor standing in the wheat fields. It is said to be a manor, but it has the defensive function of a castle, with high towers and
It has stone walls and even a shallow moat. But if it is a castle, it is too artistic and delicate.
The soft beige paint on the exterior wall, combined with the scenery of the surrounding wheat fields, looks very warm and full of summer atmosphere. The blue pointed eaves look elegant and beautiful, and with the blue sky and white clouds behind it, it is quite a fairy tale world.
the taste of.
Coupled with the mild climate here all year round, Talinnam can't help but envy the hostess who lives here. She has living conditions that exceed 90% of people in the world. Such an environment would not be possible for a farmer in Kislev.
, is a beautiful place to settle that I never dared to imagine in my life. For people in the northern part of Kislev, it is even more like a paradise on earth. And Bertot’s wife Anna still despises this and that... Oh, I am really spoiled.
The corrupt noble princess has no idea how cruel the outside world is.
Bertaud rode to his manor, and the guards quickly stepped forward and took his horse to the stable to feed and rest. The servants opened the door and welcomed their lord back. They bowed their heads one by one, which made Talinnamdi
For once, I felt what it was like to be the master... Although I was not the master, Bertolt was. Talinnam kept reminding himself. And the rescued peasant girl behind him had a look of fear on her face. She originally thought that she was just the master.
I followed two wandering knights, but unexpectedly I followed a noble lord with a prominent family background...
So, what is she going to do here? What will she do? She is just a tavern maid. She can only do the most common housework, serving tea, pouring water, wiping the table, washing the floor, etc., but there seems to be no shortage in the Baron's family.
This... So, can I still live here? This place is so beautiful, it is much better than the tavern where I work. The girl didn't dare to hope for it. Seeing that she didn't dare to leave, Talinnam directly pulled her over.
"Lord Bertol is not a person who cares about status. If he were, he would not accept me as a squire. I was originally just a farmer's son."
Talinnam took the girl's hand and said with a smile.
They quickly walked into the interior of this large manor. Fountains, gardens, marble floors, corridors decorated with various sculptures, everything here shocked the two of them. Berto walked into the hall of the villa with ease, and the servants
They quickly came up and removed their master's armor.
