Warhammer Seal

Chapter 122 Lane Castle
The castle and nearby villages owned by Lane are indeed not visible on the map.

Maps of Bretonnia are limited, mostly showing the locations of large cities.

The location of the Ryan family can only be determined through large cities.

According to Wende's understanding, this geographical environment is perfect.

The junction of Bastogne Castle, Bordereaux, and Mousillon is where the Ryan family is located.

Wende easily found the location on the map according to the road, and then drew a circle.

To the south you can trade with Bordereau, to the east you can go to Bastogne, the capital of the first Bretonnian king, and to the west is Mousilon, a place full of vampires.

Lane Castle is located on a plain, without any natural dangers to defend, but the only enemies it faces are the more peaceful vampires in the north.

Although the plains are not easy to defend, they can maximize production.

Under Ryan's father's complete disregard for a series of policies including only tax collection and no population statistics, the development of the entire territory was very difficult, and the living standards of the serfs here were not much different from those of serfs in other areas.

The castle is high above, and below are all serfs living in dilapidated houses, even their clothes are all tattered.

"Perhaps the environment should be improved. The goddess will be unhappy when she sees it."

Ryan stood by the window and looked at the busy serfs below, and touched his chin.

"Mom, how much money do we have?"

"Twenty silver coins."

This number not only surprised Ryan, but also surprised Wende.

No way, a knight noble with such a wide fief actually only has a deposit of twenty silver coins left?They didn't have any extravagance.

"All the other money was used by your father to build equipment and breed horses."

After saying this, Wende can still understand. In this place without industry, blacksmithing is not a simple expense.

Especially to build high-level armor and high-level horses, these are things that cost money.

To give an example, for example, Wende always thought that fishing would not cost a lot of money, but after he really got to know it, he realized that these hobbies are not ordinary money-burning.

The entire Ryan family only had twenty silver coins left, and they couldn't even build a canteen.

Fortunately, everyone still has the spoils brought back from Lustria, the three tons of gold presented by Master Ma.

Opening the carriage, Ryan easily carried a ton of gold to the vault.

The rest of the soldiers stayed in place as if they had never seen money in dozens of lifetimes.

In Bretonnia, the greatest wealth conceivable to a serf was a sack full of copper coins.

gold?gold?BRIC?They dare not even think about these things.

There are still blacksmiths from the Ryan family in the castle, and the hands of these guys holding the hammer are trembling.

The lord's request is simply too terrifying. He actually wants to melt the gold and use it to make gold coins.

One and two were rubbing their hands together, feeling terrified, not knowing what to do.

For economic issues, of course, Wende has to take action. He will live in the castle for a few weeks and will teach Ryan a little knowledge of economics to mortgage rent and food and hospitality.

I saw Wende greet all the blacksmiths, and then lightly patted the one-meter-high gold block beside him.

"Everyone, I was also a blacksmith in Rickland before. Of course I know some forging knowledge. Of course, fire consumption is unavoidable."

Fire consumption has always existed when humans forged metal.

The so-called fire consumption, this thing Wende can also explain for Ryan.

When metal is heated and forged, it will go through a stage of replasticity, in which some metal slag will fall off, thereby reducing the weight of the entire metal.

This was also the reason why the blacksmiths were hesitant to do it. If the gold coins forged did not reach the weight of one ton, even if they were only two grams short, they would be hanged on the side of the road for the crime of hiding gold.

Therefore, Wende must dispel the concerns of these blacksmiths, so that they can quickly mint coins, and only after they have money can they develop the economy.

"Well, according to my past experience, a ton of gold will produce 0.02 kilograms of fire loss when minting coins, and a weight error of 20 grams is normal."

Here Wende played a small game, only iron, which needs to be hammered repeatedly, can have such a large fire consumption, and gold will not deteriorate, and the fire consumption of a ton is at most about one gram.

The meaning is obvious, the extra 20 grams of gold, you blacksmiths quietly embezzled it for yourself, it's hard work, it should be.

But these Bretonnian blacksmiths didn't dare to embezzle, but after hearing Wende's admission of the loss of fire, they also started to work.

One gold coin after another was produced from the blacksmith shop. Outside the steamy blacksmith shop, the painter was painting Ryan's head with a brush.

After that, every gold coin will be printed with his portrait as a symbol of his legal principles.

Wende continued to do mathematical statistics.

"A gold coin consumes 50 grams of gold, and one ton of gold can be smelted..."

"Almost [-] gold coins."

Being by Wende's side is not just about fighting, Ruixi has also learned a lot of knowledge and skills, so she answered immediately.

Boy, this is not some small data.

Three tons of gold is 60000 gold coins, a total of [-] gold coins.

I always thought that Master Ma was very stingy and didn't give Wende anything useful.

But looking at it now, [-] gold coins were actually given directly, and it was even possible to directly renovate the Bretonnian capital Gronnie from the inside out.

Wende still understands the principle of not revealing wealth, but it can be explained by letting the blacksmiths smelt a ton of gold and [-] gold coins.

It is said that Ryan met a vampire pirate when he was out at sea, and after defeating the pirate, he got [-] gold coins.

The remaining two tons of gold were put into a basement known only to Ryan.

Four boxes were filled with [-] gold coins with Ryan's face on them. They were so golden and so attractive.

"So, Wende, how should we build this land?"

　Here it is on the Great Plains, away from the Orca Mountains and the Gray Mountains where the orcs live, and also far from the coast, where it will not be threatened by Dark Elf pirates and Norse pirates.

　　The only downside is that there are no minerals and large rivers.

　　Thank you for the monthly tickets of [Dace Mushroom] and [Dathanius], thank you.
