When summer arrived, the Varel Stadium was completed. It took four months for the massive rugby stadium, which can accommodate 2,000 people to watch the game. It may seem like a long time, but when you compare Kislev's current level of productivity, building a stadium in four months is pretty fast.

Of course, this depends on the talent introduction plan and the incentive of the commission system. The talent introduction plan has gathered a large number of craftsmen and artists for Black Hammer Fort in a short period of time, and there is no harm except that the cost is larger. On the contrary, there are many benefits, which accelerates the development of Black Hammer Fort, accelerates the progress of various municipal facilities, and most importantly, raises the quality of the overall workers to a higher level. After all, the more masters, the more apprentices. It turns out that many people are on the construction site, but they are actually just porters.

The commission system is a good mobilization of everyone's enthusiasm. There are even cases where some people are lazy and don't work and are beaten by the group in private, after all, if you are lazy alone, it is related to the interests of everyone, and the commission is collective. So...... If you want to be lazy, you have to think about the consequences......

The completion of the stadium is of great significance. It looks like a stadium, a stadium. However, there's more to it than just a stadium.

First of all, it allows people to have entertainment, and what is the role of entertainment? Let you forget the tiredness and unhappiness of the day, and release yourself in entertainment. Reducing the amount of time people spend doing nothing in their leisure time is actually a stabilizing effect on society.

Secondly, there are many industries that have been spawned by rugby, and the public will worship the champions on the field, just like chasing stars, and there will inevitably be a large number of service establishments around the stadium, taverns, bathhouses, brothels and so on...... In fact, these have also played a certain role in promoting the development of towns.

As a final step, Rhodes intends to turn the sport into an economic activity, and the prize money is now allocated by the Treasury Department of Black Hammer Castle. In the future, Ruder Finn intends to turn it into a voluntary sponsorship activity. For example, if a manufacturer wants to expand its popularity, it can sponsor the team in the final match, let them wear special clothes, printed with their special LOGO pattern, so as to achieve the publicity effect. Or plaster the audience with labels. Or, ask the host to call out the sponsor's name on the spot, etc. There are so many options......

As Rhodes knew, some wineries and taverns had their own sign designs, which in modern parlance were trademarks...... If this activity can be successful, then it will naturally evolve into a spontaneous economic activity, sought after by the people, by businessmen, and by the whole people...... And yourself, you can not pay a penny. When it's the most popular, you can even charge a venue fee and sell tickets or something.

......

After the stadium was completed, Rhodes first paid out of his own pocket and entertained all the engineers and managers of the project in the castle. Good wine and good meat to entertain them, so that they do not get drunk and do not return.

This is the first time in the history of Black Hammer, and it can be regarded as a precedent for Kislev. No lord had ever feasted a commoner with such pomp. In Kislev, or in the Old World, plebeians and nobles were always hierarchical. Civilians rarely have the opportunity to meet the lord on weekdays, let alone be invited to a banquet by the lord.

However, Rod did just that. Moreover, the banquet is of the highest standard. As for the funds, Laheim's house has just been raided, and there is money...... Taking a small part of it is enough to make this banquet a big one. So much so that the uninvited civilians outside the castle still fantasized about how great it would be if one day they could go inside and be entertained by the lord himself......

"Max, Marcha, Brown, Flagg...... All the builders of the Varrell Stadium, you have worked hard. I, Rod Lawn, am here to salute you. You are the great founders of the city, and one day Blackhammer will become the largest city in the North, and you will be the heroes, and you will have a share of this glory. ”

At the banquet, Rhodes got up, picked up his wine glass, and shouted loudly. The whole book

After saying that, the engineers and craftsmen below were all grateful, no lord had ever been so kind of entertaining civilians, let alone paying homage to them. They fled from Erengrad, thinking that it would be good to eat together, but they did not expect to be treated so favorably by the local lords in this wild place. It's free housing, it's paying wages on time, and more importantly, there's an extra commission......

Previously, it would be nice for the nobles who rode on their heads not to think about how to exploit them. But here at Rhodes, exploitation and servitude do not exist, and it is entirely up to you how much you can get paid for more work. For them, this is already a new world. What's even more commendable is that the lord has no condescending posture, and mingles with the civilian craftsmen below. Everyone swore in their hearts that they would never move out unless Blackhammer Fort was razed to the ground!

"Long live Lord Rhodes!

Someone below began to shout loudly.

And Rod just smiled and made a quiet gesture-

"Workers, the Varrell Stadium has been successfully completed, but that doesn't mean the construction of Black Hammer Fort is complete. We still have a lot of daunting tasks ahead. ”

"Great Lord, just say it, what other tasks are there, I guarantee to complete them!"

A captain of the masonry stood up and shouted with the strength of his wine. Don't forget to hold the bottle when you get up...... The partner on the side hurriedly motioned for him to sit down.

"Dongquan River Water Conservancy Project. Rodt paused, "Don't be surprised, yes, we will go to the upper reaches of the Dongquan River and build a complete water conservancy project for flood storage and irrigation." This idea has been in my mind for a long time, however, hydraulic engineering is not like ordinary construction engineering, it is very complex, it requires a professional team, to explore, measure, make the best plan based on the terrain conditions, but also to take into account a series of problems such as seasonal flooding. This is not something that ordinary engineering teams can do. ”

Rod swallowed and continued—

"Originally, this project should have been at the top of all projects, because it was very important and significant. But I didn't dare to give you this job before, for fear that you wouldn't be able to do it. Until this time, you showed me what you are capable of. ”

After Rod finished speaking, the cheers of the construction team sounded again. They are indeed not an ordinary team, although Black Hammer Fort is a poor country, but after the reform of the past six months, this engineering team is no longer the original Black Hammer Fort native engineering team, the current Black Hammer Fort engineering team, more than half of the staff in it are from the old Erlengrad. They were originally the highest level of talent in Kislev, but the Erengrad rebellion, the soldiers were indiscriminately slaughtered in the chaos, who cares if you are an engineer or an ordinary civilian, and the soldiers who kill the red eye even kill the nobles, let alone you are an engineer or a craftsman.

Therefore, the stadium is a test, and now, the water conservancy project is the focus. Rhodes knew that this project could not be completed in a year and a half. It will be a long and arduous task, but if it succeeds, it will mean a lot to your own territory.
