Chapter 26: Fresh Blood

Muscles as strong as rocks, fiery red skin, sharp claws, bloodthirsty desires that can never be filled......

Rhodes once again woke up from a nightmare, in which he had become a beast, with teeth and claws, infinite strength, tearing enemies with his hands, and his bloodthirsty desire to cut off his head was greatly satisfied...... Fear and abuse are recruiting again...... Rhodes knew that the North was such a place, close to the Chaos Wasteland, and the whispers of the four gods never ceased, not only for the civilians, but even more so for the leaders.

However, as soon as he wakes up from the dream, Rhodes can usually dispel it. It's just a dream, but there will be a period of fatigue after waking up, just like the power in the dream is hollowed out and filled up again when you wake up. There will be pain in the chest and it will take two or three hours to recover.

The servant brought Rhodes a soft velvet tunic of rustic white, the color of the White Bear Lord. Rhodes has always disliked things that are too fancy, feeling that luxury will one day decay long ago, and enjoyment will be addictive, and when addiction comes, the corrosion of chaos will come. Therefore, everything in the territory is about practicality, not ornate and beautiful.

In the morning, I was going to meet a group of craftsmen from the south. Among them were all kinds of craftsmen, blacksmiths, engravers, potters, tailors, cooks, and so on. Before, he called a meeting of the craftsmen in the territory, and told them that as long as they recruited their skilled accomplices to work in Black Hammer Castle, they would be rewarded with bonuses, ranging from a few dozen silver shillings to several gold crowns. The amount of bounty is determined according to the scarcity of talent. It's like a headhunter. Now, in less than two months, it has been effective.

Most of these people are still citizens of the former Erlengrad, working in various industries, and after the destruction of Erlengrad, many people fled to the whole territory of Kislev, and the number of people who fled to Blackhammer Fort was still very small, and most of them still chose to flee to a big city like Kislev. A month and a half ago, Rhodes summoned his artisans and called on them to call his former colleagues to work at Blackhammer, and as long as they arrived, there would be a bounty. As a result, many people wrote letters or called people in person, calling their former companions and accomplices. After all, the bounty for introducing a person is worth several months' salary. As a result, in the past month or so, Black Hammer Fort has welcomed many civilians one after another.

Unlike the refugees who came before them, these people are skilled and well-versed in their respective industries. Right now, Black Hammer Fort is developing greatly, and such people are needed. Therefore, arranging these people for Rod is not a headache at all, according to the lack of work in various positions listed by Alves, Rod is seated in the opposite position for these people who come to take refuge in him.

On the craftsman's side, there were thirty-three people, almost twice the original number. With this group of people, Rhodes estimates that the construction of the stadium and library can be completed ahead of schedule.

New craftsmen and various technicians are first paid according to the minimum wage, and if they do well, they increase every month.

In order to maximize efficiency, Ruder Finn has also introduced a commission system:

Each project has a commission reward standard for each project - come and read the book

On the side of the stadium, Rhodes's preliminary rule is that if the construction is completed on schedule, an additional commission of 5% of the total salary will be awarded, and the funds will be distributed equally among everyone on the completion date. If the construction period is completed ahead of schedule, the proportion of the construction period completed ahead of schedule to the total construction period will be rewarded, and the stadium will be completed in half a year according to the construction period, and now with nearly double the manpower, Rhodes and the chief engineer will shorten the scheduled construction period to four months, so if it is completed half a month ahead of schedule, you can get a one-tenth of the total salary, and if it is completed one month ahead of schedule, you can get one-fifth of the total salary.

Of course, the premise is that the quality of the project must be guaranteed and must be inspected and qualified. At the same time, Ruder Finn does not allow rapid completion, such as the construction period is not allowed to be completed at most one month in advance, and the project is not allowed to be completed two months in advance, and the project that is completed half the time ahead of schedule is definitely a tofu scum project without a leap forward in technology.

As for using collective commissions instead of individual commissions, Rhodes is also particular. The construction of a major project requires the concerted efforts of hundreds of people, rather than relying on the ability of individuals to complete. It is easy to divide the standards with collective commission, otherwise, when the construction period is completed, some people will argue that he has contributed the most in the whole project, has done the most work, and wants the most commission, so it will be unclear.

Since the construction of the project is outdoors, the impact of extreme weather must be taken into account, so the weather such as hail, snow and heavy rain will not be counted in the original construction period.

Libraries and prisons have generally used this approach to set the standard of completion commissions. Some industries are different, for example, the carving work that is also part of the engineering construction project, the carver cannot be mixed, generally speaking, a certain area is completed by a carver alone, and another area is completed by another carver. Because each carver's technique and psychological thoughts are different, it is easy to conflict when mixed and ruin the whole work. Therefore, for this special profession, Rhodes adopts the method of personal commission. The two new carvers and Marcha are rewarded separately for their speeds.

It took the morning to sort the hundreds of new craftsmen and craftsmen into categories and assign them to their respective departments to report on the work. At the same time, in order to ensure the food and housing of the workers, Ruder Finn also set up a special logistics service department to arrange the housing, clothing and food of these new technicians. Everything is as thoughtful as possible.

After dealing with all the affairs, Rod waved his hand and signaled that everyone could disperse, and the "old man" led the team and each went to work. At this time, Lyanna had been waiting outside the door for a long time. The chief priestess looked for herself whenever something happened, which also gave Rod a headache, I don't know if it was deliberate, or if it was really not enough to take on the big responsibility. In short, Rhodes found that Lyanna had approached him at least ten times since he returned to Blackhammer Castle, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would spend more time with her than with Caroline...... Moreover, it should be said that when the priestess came to inquire about herself, there was no real matter...... In Rod's eyes, for example, a person who graduated from medical school was treating people outside to die, which was a big deal, but it didn't, it was all some inconsequential little things, but in order not to dampen Lyanna's enthusiasm, Rod received her every time......

"Rhodes ......"

The priestess was about to speak, but was stopped by Rhodes -

"Lyanna, I have a problem that I need your help with. Rod said, walked over to the priestess, took her white right hand, and placed it on his forehead, "I've had a lot of nightmares lately, help me see how to cure ......"
