Kapitel 65: Chapter 65 Return to Hillwood Town
Chapter 65 Return to Hillwood Town
Four people gathered in Shanlin Town, in the blacksmith Carles's blacksmith shop, at this time: Chahar, the steward of Shanlin Castle; the blacksmith Carles and his son Bal; and Ram, the son of carpenter William.
After spending so many days, Kalus had completed the forging of the ploughshare of the curved plough. At the same time, after reporting to Chahar, he invited William's son, Ram, a carpenter apprentice, to come and help complete the forging of the plough body of the curved plough.
Why didn't they find William, a carpenter with better skills?
William was really busy these days. Kalus had tasks assigned by the Lord, and so did William.
Moreover, working with black ironwood is really hard work, which is much more difficult than processing other woods.
If it weren't for Chahar's coordination, William would not have been willing to let his son come to help Carls.
"Done!"
With excited shouts, Kales finally completed the curved plough assembly with Ram's help.
The plough tip, plough bed, plough wall, plough shovel, plough beam and so on are all available. Not to mention, if we take Ronin's drawings as a reference, Kallus and Ram have restored the curved plough to a very high degree.
"Hahaha~"
Kallus laughed loudly, walked to the side, picked up a jar of wine and took a sip, his cheeks flushed, "After so many days, I finally completed the task assigned by the lord!"
He was not only happy about this matter, but he was even happier about having made this plow.
Any craftsman, whether a blacksmith, carpenter or mason, looks at what he has completed as a work of art.
Not to mention that the curved plough was an unprecedented thing. Although it was created by the Lord, as the first person to build it personally, it was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.
Bal and Ram could brag about this for the rest of their lives. One of them was a blacksmith apprentice, and the other was a carpenter apprentice, and they were involved in making such high-end items. Just thinking about it made them feel like they were living in a dream.
Chahar looked left, right, up, and down at the plough in front of him, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"Well done, Kalus. I think the Lord will definitely praise your craftsmanship when he sees this curved plough!"
He fiddled with the plough tip. This plough was much heavier and more complex in structure than the light ploughs currently used in farmland.
"I wonder how it works. Will it be more effective than a light plough?"
They trusted Roning, but when faced with new things, they always had doubts in their hearts.
"How about we move out and find a cow to give it a try?"
The two young apprentices were eager to try; all they needed was one to move the plough body and the other to move the yoke.
"No, no, no!"
Kallus quickly stopped the two young men from doing this. "Don't mess around, you two brats. If you break it, we won't have time to get a new one before the Lord comes back."
The fire in the two apprentices' eyes died down.
Indeed, although the plough body was made of ordinary wood, Ram was only an apprentice carpenter, and his skills were not very solid. With the help of Bal, it took him many days to complete the plough body. If it was broken, he really didn't know how to explain it to the Lord.
Chahar pondered for a moment, "Calculating the time, the master has been away from the territory for more than half a month, and it is almost time for him to return from the Horse Herding City."
Although Luo Ning told Chahar before leaving that he might be away for a long time, he didn't expect to be away for so long, which made him more and more anxious.
He had just taken on the role of housekeeper, and although he had been extremely busy recently, he felt very happy, as if a new life had begun.
If the Lord suddenly passed away, it would be a truly painful thing.
"Let's not touch it yet."
Chahar decided: "When the Lord comes back, we will show it to him. Maybe he will give us some suggestions for revision."
"Mr. Butler is right!"
Kallus agreed: "It is better to wait for the Lord to take a look first."
At this moment, a guard ran over quickly, "Mr. Butler, the lord is back!"
"You're back?"
Chahar was overjoyed, and his heart finally settled down, "Where is the master?"
"We're almost into town."
The guard replied, "My Lord asked us to inform you and Mr. Political Officer to come over quickly. He has something to arrange."
"Okay, okay!"
Chahar hurried out, and before leaving, he turned back and told Kalus, "Look at it first and make some improvements first. I'll report to the master later and see when he has time to take a look at the curved plough."
Kalus and the other two quickly agreed, feeling nervous.
The master is back and will inspect their work. Although the master is kind, they will be in trouble if he is not satisfied.
"Come on, polish the plow blade smoother!"
Kallus called out and continued polishing with two apprentices.
Not to mention what happened in the blacksmith shop. At this moment, Roning was leading the caravan and slaves slowly across the boundary marker and returning to the town.
When he came back for the second time, Roning felt like he was back home. This land belonged to him.
The team slowly walked through the simple and dilapidated Mountain Forest Street (the road that passes through the town center and leads directly to the Mountain Forest Castle). The shop owners along the street, the occasional passing farmers and serfs, recognized the Lord this time and began to salute in the direction of Ronin while calling out "Lord".
More than half a month had passed, and the fact that Luo Ning was the Lord of Shanlin Town had been known and accepted by all the people in the town.
Roning was riding on his horse, smiling friendly as he greeted the people who saluted him. He behaved very approachable.
The slaves following behind the team were shocked when they saw this scene. In their opinion, the noble who bought them seemed to be really respected by ordinary people.
No wonder, no wonder they were fed well every day; where can we find such a good, noble lord?
Some slaves who had regained some ability to think even began to hypnotize themselves and work wholeheartedly for their masters.
Not long after, a figure rushed out from one side of the team. It was Chahar.
"Master, you are finally back!"
Chahar said excitedly. To be honest, he was shocked to see so many people just now, and he didn't understand what was going on.
"Long time no see, my butler."
Ronin greeted with a smile, "How's the castle doing?"
"Everything is fine at the castle. The squat toilet you requested before you left has been completely built!"
Chahar quickly replied, "Under David's protection, the castle has no problems. In addition, Kalus completed the curved plough over there. Everything is going smoothly!"
As he was speaking, Political Officer Wilson rode over on horseback, dismounted in front of Roning and saluted respectfully, "Lord Roning, welcome back!"
"Long time no see, Mr. Political Officer."
Luo Ning greeted him in the same amiable way, "How have you been lately?"
"Don't worry, sir. I have already divided the town into villages and groups. I can report to you anytime you like!"
"very good!"
Luo Ning praised them and pointed at the hundreds of slaves behind him.
"We'll report later. These people are the slaves I bought from the Horse Herding City. Now, I need you and Chahar to work together to settle them down and provide them with food and shelter. In addition, their information must also be registered, just like the previous census."
Wilson and Chahar simultaneously glanced back and forth at this group of people who seemed to be in good condition. They did not expect that these people were slaves and their mental state was too good.
Chahar and Wilson bowed and said, "As you wish, sir!"
Sorry, the timer was set to 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Fortunately, I just saw it.
