The gentle evening breeze wafted in from the window with a faint fragrance of flowers, and under the flickering candlelight, Alves crossed Erlang's legs and hummed a little song, in a good mood. In the past two days, the Chamber of Commerce and Trade Union Bill he drafted has almost been completed, and the next step is to hand over the draft to Rhodes, and it can be implemented.

Black Hammer Fort has just undergone a round of economic reshuffle, and now is the perfect time to implement a new system and a new order. The new nobility had not yet gained a foothold, and was far less sure of many things than the lords. Alves knew that this was the perfect time to establish a new order. The establishment of chambers of commerce and trade unions is an important part of this new order.

After Laheim fell, the biggest aristocratic forces in Blackhammer Fort were the three new Lady Kithrie, they already had good economic strength, and after annexing some of Laheim's assets, their strength became even greater, if the three of them had a dispute, it would be fine, if they were united, it would be difficult to be reassured.

Thus, under Alves's pen, a management system of government, commerce and industry was formed.

The officials represent the ruling group headed by Rhodes, who are the top decision-makers in Blackhammer Castle and control the army and food. It is a symbol of authority.

The Chamber of Commerce represents the wealthy people, that is, the elite class composed of nobles and big businessmen. They are few in number, but they have a lot of resources and wealth at their disposal. Sometimes a city reaches a certain stage of development, and the consortium formed by these people can even affect the city administrator, after all, money can do so much.

The trade unions, on the other hand, represent the common people at the bottom. This group is large in number, but has little to say. I can only work silently, get the least pay, and barely get by.

Alves drafted the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Union, ostensibly to better promote the normative development of Blackhammer Castle. In fact, the deeper purpose is to reconcile and balance these three forces. The market is like a piece of cake, there are so many interests, and the nobles will try their best to embezzle this part of the interests, so the contradictions between them and the commoners cannot be eradicated.

Over time, the two sides will always form a hostile relationship. However, based on past experience, commoners were usually suppressed because they did not have a unified organization and team to form an effective force to confront the nobility. The aristocracy had money in their hands, and their numbers were scarce, so it was easy to reach consensus and put pressure on the commoners. So even if there are a large number of civilians, they always suffer.

And what Alves wants to do is to support the weak and weaken the strong. Maintain the strength and weakness together within a stable and controllable range. On that day, there was nothing wrong with the trade-off he and Laheim said, but it wasn't for Laheim, and he didn't want to support him.

What Alves wants to support is the civilian forces of Blackhammer Castle. That's why trade unions are formed. The trade union represents the common class, and it will stand up for the common people and speak for the common people. Therefore, the representatives of the trade unions are elected from the common people. With official support, trade unions enjoy the same powers as chambers of commerce.

That is to say, the nobles must first obtain the consent of the union before doing anything, such as announcing salary cuts, announcing layoffs, etc., which must be discussed with the union representatives and approved before they can be implemented. At the same time, trade unions must also accept the supervision of the chamber of commerce and must not abuse the power in their hands. The two are both a cooperative relationship and an adversary.

If there is a situation where it is really impossible to communicate, the official will come forward, that is, Alves himself will come forward to reconcile. For example, let the nobles and commoner representatives each take a step back or something.

Of course, Alves knew that this initiative was actually more biased towards the civilian side. The new aristocracy, led by Quarella, was bound to oppose it with all their might. However, this is not a big problem, Blackhammer Fort is located on the northern frontier, and not many nobles are willing to settle here in the first place. It still depends on the power of civilians. Therefore, it is better to offend the nobles than the commoners. Unlike Kislev or Erlengrad before it, those large cities were well-developed and the aristocracy was too powerful to offend. It's different here, with the current situation, there are no nobles, and Black Hammer Castle can be developed, but there are no civilians, and it can develop a ghost...... There are not even people who farm.

......

Rhodes returned to Blackhammer Fort only three days later. During these three days, he spent three days in the upper reaches of the Dongquan River, taking a group of engineers and geographical experts to inspect the terrain and study hydrology. As soon as the front foot returned to Blackhammer Castle, Alves came to the door on the back foot.

"Can you let me rest for a while before I come back? ”

Sitting in an office chair, Rhodes joked. After a few days, Alves' beard grew again, and he always advised him to shave and take care of it often, but it seemed that Alves didn't care much about his appearance. Anyway, I've been a dwarf since I was a child, and I don't rely on appearances to do things. Bean Book City

"No, it's not a trivial matter. Only by implementing it as soon as possible can I be sure. ”

Alves replied earnestly. It was rare for Rhodes to see this little man so serious, and he must have been so eager because of something big. He could only finish his sentence. It would be nice if Caroline was by her side at this time, rubbing her shoulders and wiping her sweat or something, but the beautiful wife was busy with her business in another castle at the moment, after all, Heidelberg was not safe every day.

After Alves finished speaking, he handed the parchment roll in his arms to Rod. It took him a month to conceive the manuscript, two more days to complete the first draft, and the last three days to complete and write it. When it was handed to Rod, it was already a finished product. It describes in detail the specific operation mode of the industry and the chamber of commerce, as well as how to establish and maintain it.

"The representatives of the trade unions are elected by the common people, are replaced every two years, and cannot be re-elected except in exceptional circumstances?"

Rod read the manuscript as it was.

"Yes. In order to guarantee that no new corruption will appear. The trade unions are also the department of power, and for a long time, there is no guarantee that the representatives of the commoners will not change their minds and collude with the aristocracy. Therefore, it needs to be changed every two years so that there will be no corruption of power. ”

Alves walked over to Rod's table, picked up the water glass, took a sip of tea, and continued—

"As for why it's two years, not one year or three years. I think so, a year is too short, and sometimes the newly elected civilian representatives have to leave before they are familiar with the specific work of the union. This is a waste of money for the position of union representatives. There are many things that the civilians are not familiar with at first, and it will take him at least half a year to reach the point where he can truly argue for the benefit of the civilians. And it would be a bit wasteful to leave your job after only half a year. If it's three years, it's too long. It is difficult to guarantee that by the third year the union representatives will be familiar with the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, and will be involved in certain things, and will harm the common people together. After all, the human heart is hard to grasp. ”

"Makes sense. Is there a candidate for the first union and chamber of commerce?"

Rod asked.

"That's nature. On the Chamber of Commerce, if nothing else, Quareala was elected. He is the most powerful of the three. As for the union, I think we can let Darlock Hammer do it first. He was the earliest aboriginal of Black Hammer Castle, and because he often stood up for his co-workers, he enjoyed a high status and reputation in the deep pit mines. Let him be the first president of the union first, and then we will talk about it later. In two years, the public can first get acquainted with this system. ”

Alves returned.

Rod continued to look down and found that the entire manuscript was neat, the plan was detailed to the individual, and the details were also exhaustive. I had to sigh that I picked up a baby. Alves is less than 1.3 meters tall, but his abilities far surpass all the managers in the castle.

Rhodes was already planning to hand over to him all the work that had previously been done by Muros.

"I see what you mean. I want to step back into the background and let them fight on their own, so as to strike a new balance. If there's a disagreement, you'll intervene to reconcile, right?"

After reading it, Rhodes laid the parchment flat on the table. Smiling at Alves.

"Well, that's pretty much it. You are the Earl of Blackhammer Keep, the Lord of the White Bear, the Chosen One of Ursun and Thor, and the hero of war. This series of titles is very valuable and very important. And once involved in and involved in the management of the town, there will always be a lot of trouble. Therefore, the best way is to retreat into the background, concentrate on leading the army, and focus on big projects. Let me take care of all this stuff. Somebody has to be the bad guy, so let me be the one who is. Anyway, Alves is just a dwarf in the eyes of others. It's better for me to do bad things than you do. ”

Alves said with a smile.
