@TotallyAbsurd @TotallyAbsurd That's a very lopsided argument to make. First off he's building what is effectively a fortress town given how dangerous the place is being described as. This is the sort of work that would take an entire construction crew months if not years to accomplish even with power tools. Then there is the danger aspect, there is a reason why hazard pay exists, because people will naturally pick work that doesn't involve risking their life without compelling reasons over work where they can die.
As for connections, he already has them with local high ranking nobles and the king. In addition to people in the crafting guilds and the adventurer community. That's like saying Elon Musk should do spaceX contracts for Nasa for the publicity, he's already a well known figure, he does them for money and fame, not so he can earn street cred with the US govt. Not sure why the idea of clarifying rewards for work strikes you as so foreign, have you not had a job before?
