Bab 13: Construction on Mass Scale
Xander turned towards Ashbringer "So, How many Dwarfs can make weapons and build Buildings."
Ashbringer slightly calculated in his mind and made a rough guess "Your highness around 1500 Dwarfs are blacksmiths from which around 700 are low-level blacksmith, 500 are intermediate level blacksmith, around 295 are a master level blacksmith and 5 Grandmaster level blacksmith Including me. As for Construction, around 1000 dwarfs are skilled in the building."
Xander thought for some time in his mind "Hmm, so there are levels of blacksmith too." He spoke to Ashbringer "That's good, Let's first talk about construction. I have a few projects to build in the capital."
Ashbringer started to listen intently after hearing the construction of few projects.
"I want to build a few Public bathrooms and toilets in the capital city so that people can maintain hygiene. "
"Hmm, that will not take a lot of time, it will be built in at most one or two weeks."
Xander thought of a suggestion "Why not we do this, Split the workforce between two."
Ashbringer was slightly confused "Your highness why do you want to split the workforce. It will increase the time to construct the projects?"
"Wait, I will explain the whole matter, The main thing I want to build is Wall around the whole kingdom."
"This will likely take a lot of time, but with the materials, you told, it will still take around 10 months. On top of that if we split the workforce It will add another two to three months."
"What if we add a lot of workers to build walls then?"
"Hmm, if we double the working force, It will still take around 6 months. If we don't want to lower the quality."
"Hmm, well 6 months is not too long. OK, so I want to split the workforce because one team will construct the wall another will complete projects within the kingdom."
"Your highness, It will not take a long time to build bathrooms and toilets."
"No no, I want to build another 3 to 4 buildings. I want to construct Two school buildings and one college. One School building will be primary school and the Second will be for only Military and College will be for further studies after school. The buildings should be large enough so that around a few dozens of thousands can study together. After the construction of these buildings, this construction team will join others."
Ashbringer nodded at Xander's plans.
"Well let's plan the construction of the wall."
Aldith went forward and opened the map on the table.
Xander marked the map around the border between the Kingdom of Yabrella and the kingdom of Ehterac. "First I want you to build the wall this portion. In the western direction, our kingdom only shares a border with the Kingdom of Ocawyth and Yabrella. We have a great relationship with Ocawyth and the rest region in western direction is surrounded by large and tall mountains which can only be climbed from our kingdom. So we have to be careful from the Kingdom of Ocawyth."
Everyone agreed with Xander's plan. Aldith commented in agreement with Xander "Yes your highness It is indeed the case. We are more prone to danger from the kingdom of Yabrella than Demons. I heard that the king of Yabrella is cruel, he will do anything for his profit and desire"
Xander continued "Then after building a wall between our kingdom and Kingdom of Yabrella. We will build a wall on our north and western region which is connected to the demonic beast's domain."
Xander paused and looked around to watch their expressions. Everyone was nodding slightly unconsciously. Xander was satisfied after seeing this, then he continued "Of course, during this time Our army will protect the workers and construction site. And Soldiers can also assist in construction."
Ashbringer was listening very carefully and also imagining the wall as Xander was telling him.
Xander stood slightly and placed his left palm on the table and started to mark the area of forest between the Kingdom of Etherac and the kingdom of Ocawyth which was called Dark forest, with his right hand. "I plan to lock down this whole region of the forest with the walls from the three sides as one side will be automatically enclosed with the mountain."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing Xander's plan to enclose Dark forest. Aldith slightly flustered and spoke "Your highness, If we want to build a wall on our side, it will be okay but why do you want to build the wall in the demonic domain, on top of that a wall on the border of Kingdom of Ocawyth."
Xander calmly replied "I already suggested King Ebrardus build a wall around his kingdom too and he agreed. I also plan to sell the building materials when the production will start at full force." He slightly paused and picked a glass of water and drank a sip of water to wet his throat " The main reason I want to build the wall in the demon domain and enclose the area between Kingdom of Etherac and Kingdom of Ocawyth. After enclosing our both kingdoms can use it as training for army or military school students. I will talk about this King Ebrardus when I meet him."
Ashbringer nodded "I understand overall plan, your highness. I will explain the whole plan to Dwarfs and to start the construction from tomorrow. By the way, Your highness, what about the materials."
"Ah, the materials are ready, after meeting I will bring you to explain the working process and uses."
"OK, I understand your highness."
"Now about weapons, I heard that you already started the production."
"Yes, we are making swords that can be used by soldiers."
"Good, I want you to make other things."
"Tell me, your highness, I am responsible for all the production of weapons and armours."
"OK, I want you to make basic armours at first. Mass produce of good quality of bows, spears, shields and swords. "
Ashbringer was nodding while writing all the details in the book provided by Xander. "OK your highness, this is easy, it can be easily done, it won't take much time around a month."
"Hmm, These all will be used by soldiers. And please make the shields at least 4 ft. Can you make a few special weapons and armours."
Ashbringer nodded "Just order your highness, we can make any type of weapons and armours. We dwarf are very confident and proud of our forging skills."
Xander smiled and nodded "I want you to make some order made weapons for high-rank officers above 1000 man commander."
Ashbringer nodded and wrote it on the book.
"And I also like to make you a few special weapons and armours for me. Can you do it."
Ashbringer quickly replied, "I will let only Grandmasters make your weapons carefully according to your requirements. just tell me your requirements, your highness?"
"OK, how heavy can you make a sword?"
Ashbringer was slightly taken aback at first, but he regained his composure quickly and replied "Hmm, around 150 kg with iron."
"Can you make it heavier?"
"Then to make a sword heavier than 150 kg Iron is not sufficient. We need other materials."
"Just tell me I will try to get all the materials required."
"Rank H beasts bones are sufficient they can not only make it heavier but also toughen the sword and makes it more durable. We can make it as heavy as 250 kg."
"OK, I will go myself and kill some beasts. And also I want you to make some heavy spears around 70 kg per spear."
"OK, that will be easily done with only iron. Anything else?"
"Yes, I want you to make a bow and make it so that the power and range of arrow will be terrifying. Don't mind the weight or strength required to pull string."
"Hmm, it bow can be easily made but for the string, we need beast tendons. Other materials are not that strong and easily breaks."
"OK, which beast's tendons are enough?"
"At least Rank G."
"Hmm, OK I will get you all these materials. Start the production of weapons and armours."
Ashbringer nodded "I will do so, I will gather all the blacksmiths and explain all the details. We will begin to Mass produce as soon as possible."
"And yes, I want to ask you to send two teachers who are knowledgeable and are great at teaching forgery. One teacher to teach only basics at primary school and another to teach at college to teach in detail. After college, I will also make them research weapons and other production items. Also, send two to teach construction. And also send the children and people who don't know to write and read to school."
Ashbringer stood and slightly bowed to Xander "Thank you, your highness. I will send them to school. Then with your permission, I will leave?"
"OK" Xander replied to Ashbringer. Ashbringer went out of the room. Xander also stood from his chair and went towards the training field to train.
