After the resettlement of the two large groups, farmers and fishermen, the rest was easy.

Over the weekend, Rhodes slept in his room for a whole day and a night, and when he woke up, he slowly asked Virgil to summon the fifteen craftsmen who had been incorporated into the Blackhammer Legion, and he had something to do for them.

Three masons, five stonemasons, seven carpenters. While the craftsmen arrived at the lord's office with great anticipation, expecting the lord to arrange for them to prove their useful, Rhodes sat down on a chaise longue and gave a surprising job - to build a latrine.

"Here are the drawings. ”

Sitting in a chair, Rhodes pushed a sketch of himself in front of several craftsmen.

It is a diagram of the structure of a public toilet, which is very simple, but it is also very effective in saving space. In fact, Rhodes's public toilets are a simplified version of the modern toilet. A trench several meters long is dug in the ground and then slabs are laid on top of it to create a slight slope so that the water can wash away the excrement. Above the trench are individual huts, separated by earthen walls, topped with roofs and tiled. In this way, a simple public toilet was formed.

The trench eventually extends to a large manure pit, where the manure is collected and used as fertilizer for farming. Outside of the toilet, the upper end of the trench is covered with a stone slab to prevent foul odors from escaping and people falling off if they are not careful. At the same time, the slate is not fixed, but movable, so that when the passage is blocked, it can be cleaned up in time.

Of course, Ruder Finn only provided draft drawings, and how to construct the project still required these workers to go to the site for operation.

It's just that when the dozen or so newly recruited craftsmen saw this drawing and knew their new work, they all showed puzzled and embarrassed expressions.

You know, in Erlengrad, they are good at building houses, from luxury hotels to small civilian huts, they all work on them themselves or command their subordinates to complete them. And now, the new lord wants them to build toilets? What does this mean? Is it because he looks down on their craftsmanship?

A group of people looked at the drawings and probably knew how to construct them to achieve the effect on the lord's sketches, but finally some people couldn't stand it. Max, a tall, thin old bricklayer, was not much younger than Muros, but his body was much tougher than Muros. It seems to have a lot of construction experience, too.

"My lord, I've seen your drawings, and the construction is not difficult. We can guarantee what it looks like on the as-built drawings. I just don't know what you're building this building for, sir?"

Max, the old bricklayer, asked.

"Toilet, don't you see? It's a public toilet. ”

Rod said with a smile.

"But, my lord, the residents have commode buckets when they release their hands, and the next morning there will be a manure collector pulling a trailer out into the street to collect it. People don't have the habit of going outdoors to relieve themselves......"

Max continued, his face full of bewilderment.

"It's because we don't have this habit that we have to develop it. Hygiene and cleanliness are the necessities of life, and the occurrence of many diseases is inseparable from the dirty living environment. 53 Chinese Net

Rod replied solemnly. This is indeed a problem, in the past, I had to deal with the invasion of the castle by the beastmen, werewolves, and various dark creatures of the forest. So there is no time to catch these, and now, the main enemies around have been eliminated, and a safe zone has been swept out, and there will be no large-scale beastmen invasion in the short term. It is time to rectify the chaos in the territory.

Of course, these realities are chaos in Rhodes' eyes, but not in the eyes of others, as the old bricklayer said, they have commodes when they untie their hands, and when they have dung collectors, they throw them to the dung collectors, and when they don't, they dump them directly on the road or directly into the river. This is normal......

"Then may I ask my lord, how many such townhouses will be built?"

Max, the old bricklayer, then asked.

"Let's build twenty first. ”

Rhodes is based on the current population of Blackhammer Fort, a public toilet can accommodate ten people to use the toilet at the same time, Blackhammer Castle currently has a total of more than 5,000 people, and there are about 4,000 people in the residential area, which means that an average of 20 people use a thatched pit. Considering that it is inconvenient to go to the toilet outdoors when the temperature is very low in winter, and the feces will also freeze and be difficult to discharge, this project can only be effective at the beginning of spring. It starts at the end of winter, and it can be used just two months later.

The construction of public toilets was only a preliminary approach, and Ruder Finn's vision was to have a separate toilet in every household in the future, and to build a complex and vast sewer system. Let the inhabitants of Blackhammer Castle live a clean life. As for the design of the sewers, it had to be a rigorous and complex job, because here the threat of the rat people had to be taken into account. For example, the Iron Gate in the sewers of the Castle of Cipher is one way to do this. The specifics will be considered later. At present, public toilets can only be built first, so that residents can change their old bad habits.

"Let's do it first, and I'll give you the manpower later. Good job, this is the time to test your skills, twenty public toilets, I will give you a month to finish, stone slabs and excavation of manure pits must be completed in the next six months, and before the arrival of spring, these twenty public toilets must be fully operational. ”

"If this public toilet project is successfully completed, I still have a lot of work for you to do in the future. ”

After Rod finished speaking, he waved his hand, let these people go down first, he didn't lie to them, there are indeed many things for them to do in the future, the preparation of the prison, the repair of the city wall, the construction of the sewers, and the future construction of Black Hammer Fort need these people. As for manpower, it is not a problem at all, and there is a shortage of workers among those refugees. During the Erlengrad Rebellion, the 10,000 gold crowns that Rhodes received from Caterina were still in the vault and could be used at any time. For refugees, they are grateful for a full meal.

......

"My lord, Miss Leona asks to see you. ”

After arranging the sanitation of the public toilet, he was about to ask the servant to bring breakfast, when the news of the priestess asking to see him sounded outside the door. Rod nodded, motioning for the guards to let Lyanna in. The last time I saw her was a week ago, and I asked the doctors to follow her arrangement and set up a group of surgeons, both military and civilian. Rhodes wondered if there must have been something wrong with his work when the priestess came to him in just a week.

Sure enough, after meeting, Lyanna's face was exposed. With a gloomy face, she walked up to Rod.

"Lord Rhodes, the gang you called me earlier......"

"What's wrong?"

Rod asked with concern.
