After Alves left, Laheim locked himself in his room and thought over what the little dwarf had said. It makes sense, the art of balancing is a trick used by countless rulers, and at the same time, the current situation is indeed a mixed strength. Alves wants to help himself, so as to secure his throne as the chief steward of Black Hammer Castle, and take some kickbacks by the way, which is normal. But Laheim always felt that something was wrong. As for the exactly, he couldn't say.

Maybe he can ignore these and not cooperate with that dwarf, anyway, he is leaving, and he will leave with the money, and he will go to the empire to make a living. He even got in touch with the connector there. But Laheim still has some nostalgia......

Yes, he is not reconciled, this is the industry he has built single-handedly, in just one year, he has done what he has not been able to do in Errengrad for more than ten years, and the expansion of assets is several times, not only a few percent per year......

Moreover, it is obvious that Black Hammer Fort will usher in a period of great development in the future, and the chaotic era and the developing territory are the most likely to get rich. If a place has been peaceful and comfortable for many years, and the industrial chain is mature, there is no room for development. Like the city of Kislev, like the other great cities of the empire, where the resources were monopolized by the great nobles and electors, the petty nobles and small merchants could only eat what they had lost, or what they did not want. There is very little room for development. Not to mention that he is going to go to the empire to make a living as a foreigner next, maybe with his own assets, he is still a nobleman with a name and surname in Kislev, and he may be equivalent to an ordinary knight in the empire......

He was not reconciled. I was unwilling to leave like this. Maybe it's an opportunity, a chance to get back on your feet. He's going to get back what he's lost...... In the middle of the night, Laheim lit a lamp and wrote that he would tell his friends in Ostermark that he would postpone his visit to the Empire for a few years. He still has unfinished business here. This is where he made his fortune, and he will continue to grow here for a few more years, amassing enough wealth, yes, wealth......

......

"The fish is hooked. ”

When Laheim bought a large amount of wheat and potatoes in the market, Alves knew that the little nobleman from Errengrad finally couldn't resist the temptation and joined the business. It's just that it's just a trap from beginning to end.

Alves promised Quarella, Skagard, and Clive that after defeating Laheim, his assets would be divided among the three of them in proportion. And now, Laheim is going to run away, and he naturally has to capture him back. It's just that it's not with your hands, it's with your mouth...... With his clever lobbying, Lahaim was eventually fooled.

The trade order is real, except that Alves has no intention of allowing Laheim's ship to reach the ports of the empire. The pirates have sharpened their knives and are ready to go. The marauders under Celta's command were excited about the looting that was coming. The so-called follow the boss, and the days are moisturizing enough. As long as you keep your mouth tight, you will be guaranteed to eat and drink spicy food for the rest of your life. After consulting with Rhodes, Alves arranged a raid. Celta's gang turned out to be pirates, and they were familiar with such things as robbery at sea. It's just that the goods they loot cannot be transported back to Blackhammer Fort, but must be divided into small ships and sold on the black market in the empire.

...... Night Night Chinese

"My lord, Celta and they have set sail. ”

Rod was on a tour of the stadium when he got the news that the pirates had been dispatched. It's so cruel that it doesn't even give people a chance to escape. But at the same time, it is also very realistic, the dark world is full of crises all the time, too soft-hearted, sooner or later it will be destroyed. If I hadn't been ruthless, I'm afraid that the one standing here looking down at the audience at this moment would be Laheim from Errengrad. Rhodes knew that he was not only a warrior, but also a lord. And the lord - a kind of ...... that belongs to politicians

Just recalling the cooperation with this nobleman at the beginning, Rod sighed with emotion. Originally, Blackhammer Fort was a small castle that survived on a mine and some fields. It was Laheim's investment that allowed the castle to develop slowly. Originally, Rhodes planned to live in peace with Laheim, but how did he know that with the expansion of assets, Laheim's desire also began to swell. And Erengrad's rebellion and his own outing of Blackhammer Castle further contributed to the breeding and spread of his desire.

Rhodes could imagine how lust consumed Laheim's reason day by day. When the old butler Muros couldn't help him, the young nobleman thought that Black Hammer was the one he said, and even armed his own guards for the first time...... This made him pay a brutal price in the end.

Rod sighed and returned his gaze to the pitch. The sprawling building was almost finished, the commission system was so effective that he gave the workers a goodbye to dead wages and a lot of work, and at the turn of spring and summer, the stadium became a hot place.

In honor of Caroline's deceased father, Rhodes officially named the stadium Varrell Stadium. At the same time, it's not just a stadium, it's a place where any event can be held. Just like the role of the football field is not only to play football, celebrities hold concerts, leaders hold mobilization meetings, schools hold sports meetings or something, they can all be carried out in the football field.

In a similar vein, at the moment, the huge rugby stadium looks like just a stadium, but Rhodes knows that all the big and small things at Black Hammer can be held here in the future. Therefore, when the site was first selected, Ruder Finn deliberately chose the stadium at the junction of the old and new towns, that is, the location of the town center, so that people could gather.

It's just that now it seems that everyone can't see where the new city is, it's in Rod's heart...... In Rhodes's mind, he had already constructed a map of the future urban distribution of Black Hammer Castle. The riverbend on the north shore near Blackhammer Fort was developed freely because it was not planned before, resulting in a dirty and messy urban area, and the streets were as narrow as intestines, which could only accommodate two people to pass sideways. Every evening, as soon as the market closes, all kinds of rotten food are thrown all over the floor. That's a dog.

Therefore, the construction of the new city will never allow this to happen again. It will be located in the lower reaches of the Dongquan River, near the mouth of the sea. There, in the future, will be the main dock area. Unlike the Leinsk River, which flows through Erengrad, the Reinsk River is a large river with a deep water and a wide river that can be navigated by large boats. The Dongquan River has a fast flow and a narrow river, making it unsuitable for large ships. Although the wharf in the upstream area is prosperous at the moment, it can only be used as an inner harbor for small boats to unload cargo in the future. The real big development lies in the downstream zone, close to the mouth of the sea. The place still looks desolate, but it will be a new town in the future.

Ruder Finn has written the plan for the new city on parchment, introducing a model of neighborhoods, each with a clinic and a barber shop. The streets will be distributed in a grid pattern, and the municipal, sanitary, and recreational buildings will be distributed at the intersection of the road network, which will most effectively expand the service area and cover the whole urban area.

Of course, planning is planning, and it cannot be developed at will. It's a gradual process, the population will increase, and houses will be built one by one, not overnight. In the past few months, Ruder Finn has just straightened out the entire internal problem and sorted out a set of practical internal operating mechanisms. When all this is straightened out, the large-scale development that is visible to the naked eye will gradually come. The establishment of these mechanisms and the appointment of personnel are like the foundation, whether a building or a city can be solid for a long time depends to a large extent on whether the foundation is solid.
