King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 127 No need to subscribe! I haven't finished coding today, just check for full attendance.Apologies! I will change it tomorrow and add a new chapter.Wisdom teeth are so painful

Now the business in Winter Fortress is booming, various shops are opening, food prices are dropping steadily, and commodities are gradually enriching.There is no iron ore in Cold Winter Fortress. Many businessmen seized this business opportunity to buy wrought iron from various territories and transport it over. The profit can be about three or four times.

In the blacksmith shop, a large furnace was whistling, and several craftsmen beside it were pulling the bellows vigorously, making a wheezing sound, and they were melting and processing the wrought iron brought by the merchants.

The room was stuffy and hot, and a few strong men with big arms and round waists were sweating profusely. When they felt hot, they picked up a wooden spoon of water and poured it over their heads.

Then there was the sound of "bang bang" striking iron.

The crisp and dry percussion sounds one after another, as if playing a wonderful movement together.

Finally, a U-shaped iron palm appeared under the hammers of the blacksmiths and gradually took shape.

"My lord baron, do you think this is what you want?" A strong man walked over. He was bare-chested and had bronzed and reddish skin.

Charles came over and looked at it from a distance, and saw that the shape was similar to what he had seen in his previous life.

But what measures an item is not how it looks, but whether it meets a need.Charles waved his hand and motioned for the guards to lead a horse, "It will cool down later, and place it on the horse's hoof."

"Yes, my lord the baron."

Then Charles walked out of the blacksmith shop and waited outside. The room was too hot and smelled of sweat, so he hurried out to get some fresh air.

After a while, the bronze-colored blacksmith just now led the horse, walked over and said, "Look, Mr. Baron, the four iron palms have been nailed on."

Charles turned his head and asked, "How many steps should I let it run?"

pop~
There was a crisp whip sound.

A red mark was instantly added to the horse's buttocks, and then the horse rushed out together, running several hundred meters away.

Can run normally, no problem.There was a happy look on Charles' face, he looked at the craftsman: "What's your name?"

"My lord, my name is Andrea."

"It's a very good name. In the future, you will be responsible for managing the blacksmiths of Winter Fortress, and listen to Carlos' dispatch."

The burly man fell to his knees, "Swearing to die for Noxus."

Charles waved him to stand up, and then asked: "This thing is called a horseshoe, is it difficult to build?"

Andrea patted his chest and said loudly: "Master Baron, it's not difficult, an apprentice who has studied for several years can easily make it."

"Andrea, please arrange that the unskilled blacksmiths in Winter Fortress will make horseshoes, and those who are skilled in making armor will continue to make armor for the tauren." Charles thought for a while and continued: "I will Arrange for a few tauren to come over, and you can build it according to their body shape, it doesn't need to be particularly detailed, as long as you can make it alive and wear it."

"Also, from now on, you will be in charge of the management of the blacksmiths, and the problem of the blacksmiths teaching apprentices is also yours. Find a way to make the blacksmiths teach more seriously and let the apprentices learn skills faster."

"Reassure the blacksmiths that if they bring out their technology, Noxus will never treat them badly."

Andrea nodded and said, "Lord Baron, don't worry, I will definitely work hard. Also, how many horseshoes do you need to make?"

Charles thought for a while and said, "Let's build six thousand first."

After finishing speaking, Charles turned and left. He suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said, "Go and talk to Old Mark later and ask him to record five hectares of land on your household registration."

Andrea knelt down again, and said happily: "Master Baron, thank you for your reward."

Andrea is a blacksmith in the Sunset Fortress, responsible for repairing weapons and armor for the knights, and his life is considered rich.

After being plundered to Winter Fortress, I thought I would live a hard life, but I didn't expect it to be better than before.

The baron rewarded him with five hectares of land.Although not like the silver fox collar, the fields are all his own.

He can only get [-]% of the grain, but one hectare of field in Winter Fortress can produce tens of thousands of catties of grain.

He can get tens of thousands of catties of grain for free a year. Even if his descendants are worthless, with these five hectares of land, they will not starve to death, and they can even live a very prosperous life.

This Baron Charles is really too generous.

Charles saw Andrea's expression, and he said lightly: "You deserve it. As I said, Noxus will not treat anyone who has dedicated. If you train apprentices, If you do a good job in building armor and horseshoes, you will be rewarded in the future."

With that said, Charles turned his head and left.

Andrea is the most skilled person among all the blacksmiths in Winter Fortress. Although he used to be from Sunset Fortress, but now he is in Winter Fortress, he is from Winter Fortress and a leader of Noxus.

Let him manage the blacksmiths, and the blacksmiths are probably convinced.

Carlos is a carpenter, but he is an amateur to a blacksmith, and sooner or later an accident will happen if an amateur manages an expert.Even if there is no accident, the efficiency will not be much higher.

It is obviously inappropriate to let Carlos authorize management. In the future, Andrea and Carlos will discuss with each other, which will also help the development of various tasks.

Looking at the horses running in the distance, Charles couldn't help but stretch his mind.

In war, war horses are one-time consumables, largely because of the damage to the hooves of the horses when they are walking or galloping.War horses will be damaged, and centaurs are no exception.

Whether it is a centaur or a horse, their hooves have a two-layer structure. In close contact with the ground is a layer of hard cuticle about 2 to 3 cm thick, and inside is a layer of living cuticle.When the horseshoe is in contact with the ground, under the action of ground friction, water corrosion, etc., it will soon fall off, and sometimes it will be damaged.

But horseshoes can solve this problem very well. Nailing the horseshoe can delay the wear of the horseshoe, protect the horseshoe, and make it grip the ground more firmly. It is very useful for future mountain warfare, long-distance marching, and riding combat. help.

The technical content of horseshoes is not high. What it lacks is an idea to put shoes on horses and centaurs.

But in this world, Shire has not seen similar inventions. He estimated that there is a high probability that it may be the nobles of the centaur race. The priests rarely walk, and they are extraordinary and strong, so they will not encounter horseshoe damage at all. question.

Those who suffer from damaged horseshoes are ordinary centaurs. Perhaps in the long history, some centaurs developed horseshoes on a whim. Unfortunately, no nobles cared about them, and no nobles promoted them. With the death of the inventor, this invention is very difficult. Disappeared in the long river of history.

Constantly inventing things that appear again and again, not only for humans, but also for centaurs.

It's a pity that the horseshoes are available, but the centaur knights have not been found for the time being.

Tusk tribe?Flying claw tribe?
……

Leaving the blacksmith shop, Charles returned to the study, and he sent someone to call old Mark.

There is one thing to say, military talents are easier to cultivate. After a war, the gifted survive and the untalented die. The selection is quick and convenient.

However, talents in government affairs are really scarce, and the ones who can make do with it are the old Mark and Carlos. However, Carlos handles few government affairs. Charles is worried that he will handle government affairs directly, so he first uses management craftsmen This matter is to hone and hone, and by the way, it can also see if he has the talent to be a political officer.

But as far as Charles is now observing, he is only born with the talent of being a robber.

Now the governor of Noxus is pretty much himself and old Mark.

But old Mark, this old thing, has been missing all day since he talked about the maid.

Charles had to send his servants to inquire, and it took a long time before old Mark was called.

Old Mark opened the door and walked in, asking, "Master, do you have anything to do?"

Charles said angrily: "How about the establishment of the village on the Knockin River? Has the land been used?"

Old Mark shook his head and said, "Master, the land on both sides of the Knockin River is too vast. If more than 2 people are thrown into it, only half of the reclaimed wasteland can be cultivated. Not to mention that you still want to divide the Black Stone Mountains and The Alps are one piece at a time."

"If you follow your plan, I estimate that 10 people will not be enough."

Charles sighed, he thought that after plundering 2 people from the Silver Fox family, he would be a rich man, but unexpectedly he was still a poor man.

However, 2 people are quite a lot. A family of four is responsible for one hectare of land. These 2 people can cultivate more than 5000 hectares. In conversion, when the harvest is next spring, he can get more than 5000 million catties of grain.

When this batch of food came down, the Cold Winter Fortress immediately put on its wings.

With more than 5000 million catties of grain today, Shire will dare to double its troops tomorrow.

In any case, you have to support [-] professional soldiers.

Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help thinking of using faith to catalyze food.

Last time, a one-hectare field consumed 660 gallons of Faith, compressing the 180-day growth period to 15 days.

Doing mental calculations, it takes 4 gallons of Faith to shorten the growth time of one day for one hectare of field.

Now there are 340 Faith Points left. These Faith Points were originally in the Holy Rod He gave, but obviously, this is just a drop in the bucket and not enough.

How about harvesting the beliefs of the human residents now?

After thinking about it, forget it, this is the first time to hold a sacrifice to harvest faith, and the efficiency is the highest.Now the residents of Silver Fox have just arrived in Noxus, and the people's hearts are unstable. It is a waste to hold a sacrifice now. It is appropriate to hold a sacrifice after they settle down and their minds gradually turn to Noxus.

Charles guessed whether to wait for a festival, a celebration for the whole territory, or wait for a good harvest.

……

On the other side of Winter Fortress, Abdelkader sat opposite Patrice with a big belly.

Patrice was dumbfounded and asked: "Lord Abdekader, one hundred carts of grain per person, are you sure you are right? According to the previous practice, ten carts of grain for a knight is already a lot, and you have doubled it." "

Abdekad said impatiently: "Our lord baron said, this is the price, whether you like it or not, if not, we will hang these knights tomorrow."

Thinking of the situation of being made things difficult before, Patrice felt secretly refreshed.

Patrice croaked like a male duck: "This is robbery, are you robbers?"

pop~
Abudkad slapped the fan to the ground, "Don't use that disgusting voice, I'm upset."

"I'm a robber. Besides, robbery doesn't come so fast. Buy it or not, or get out if you don't."

Patrice got up from the ground, covered his face, and cried, "I'll go back and ask the baron."

"get out."

Patrice, the envoy from the Silver Fox family, hurriedly left Cold Winter Fortress. He felt that his face would turn into a pig's head if he stayed with him for a few more days.

……

Outside the Sunset Fortress, on both sides of the Als River.

The Als River, which was originally clear to the bottom, was soaked in blood and turned light red.

The narrow part of the river is full of corpses, blocking the river.

On both sides of the strait, groups of centaur and human soldiers were fighting each other.

In the front row, there were centaur stabbing with spears, and as they stabbed, rows of silver fox soldiers fell down and fell into the Als River beside them.Similarly, the centaurs were stabbed to death from time to time.

After the spear battle in the front row begins.

In the back row, the centaurs lined up to shoot, and rows of arrows rained over the heads of the centaurs in the front row and shot at the silver fox soldiers.

With the sound of "poof", the sharp arrow pierced into the body of the silver fox soldier.

The silver fox soldier inevitably became flustered. The spear in front of him and the sharp arrow from above his head distracted the silver fox soldier left and right, and his mind was frightened.

When they wanted to raise their shields, the centaurs would seize the opportunity and pierce their bodies with spears.If they stabbed with the centaurs, the sharp arrows from above would shoot through them unceremoniously.

Centaurs are a race known for their archery skills.

Seeing the silver fox soldiers appear in a panic, a centaur charged with a machete.

Likas led three centurions and seized the opportunity to attack the Silver Fox Infantry from the right.

"Peter, you take 100 people and follow me."

"Yes, Likas-sama."

Peter responded that since he sent a letter to Priest Alihau, Likas had paid more attention to him, and even became their close confidant, commanding a hundred and a half people.

Afterwards, the centaurs pressed up, and the centaur who rushed to the front was pierced through the body by the silver fox infantry's spear.

But their bodies smashed into the Silver Fox Infantry with the remaining kinetic energy.

The attack from the side made the Silver Fox soldiers even more flustered, their formation began to break up, and the soldiers began to flee in a small scale.

The widening of the gap made Likas even happier. He took a hundred soldiers, formed a sharp knife, and plunged into it fiercely, constantly disrupting the formation of the silver fox infantry.

The threat from the front, side and overhead directly collapsed this group of silver fox infantry.

They fled in a large area, and many silver fox soldiers were squeezed into the Als River. The icy cold water became the last burial place of these silver fox soldiers.

……

　I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry that full attendance is too important to a flutter, it will be changed tomorrow.
