章節 113: Chapter 113 The team has grown again.
Chapter 113 The team has grown again.
When Ronin came to Wushan Castle, there were only four people. But the returning team included escorting knights, recruited craftsmen, and Wushan Castle's carrier bird trainers. The number of people had already exceeded forty.
After he offered relocation fees, many more apprentices and craftsmen were willing to go to Shanlin Town with him.
With the assistance of the Wushan City clerks, Wharton and George screened and identified these people. After eliminating those who tried to take advantage of the situation and defraud the relocation fees, these thirty-six people were left.
Among them, there were two blacksmiths and five blacksmith apprentices;
Three tailor apprentices;
Two carpenters, 12 carpenter apprentices, and one craftsman;
Two bricklayers and five bricklayer apprentices;
One potter and three pottery apprentices;
although Luo Ning was willing to pay a considerable relocation fee, the majority of the people who came were apprentices, and most of the craftsmen still chose not to leave Wushan City.
Although the skills of these craftsmen who are willing to come are up to standard, they are not doing well in Wushan City.
For example, the potter Jim was a craftsman who barely made a living in Wushan City because he couldn't find a market for his pottery.
He went to Luo Ning mainly to obtain relocation fees to help his family overcome the current difficulties and to try his luck in the future.
Among these people, the one Ronin cared about most was a carpenter named Dan.
Daan is no ordinary carpenter; he is a certified craftsman by the Wushanling Carpenters Association. His skills are far beyond those of ordinary craftsmen and have been put into practice.
Whether it is Wushan Fort, Wushan City, or the high-rise buildings, manor castles, etc., in and around the city, many buildings have the shadow of Daen.
This time, he followed Luo Ning to Shanlin Town himself and brought two carpenter apprentices and eight carpenter apprentices with him.
To be honest, Luo Ning couldn't believe it when he first heard about this.
Was a famous craftsman willing to work in a remote area?
After asking, he found out that Daen had met Ronin in the workshop that day and heard Ronin talk about the structure of the curved plow.
Dan was attracted by Roning's explanation and decided to go to Shanlin Town.
Luo Ning naturally treated such a talent with courtesy, not only offering a high daily salary of 150 copper coins but also paying a relocation fee of 50 gold coins!
"Master Craftsman Daen, Shanlin Town is quite far from Wushan Fort. If you have any discomfort or requests on the way, please feel free to let me know!"
Before setting off, Luo Ning met with this famous craftsman.
"You are so polite, Master Luo Ning!"
Daan is not young and has a long beard but looks energetic.
"In our eyes, you are a master craftsman because you can design something as ingenious as a curved plow!"
Thinking of the scene explaining the structure of the curved plow two days ago, Luo Ning's mouth curled up unconsciously.
There were quite a few people around him at that time. When he explained the structure of the curved plow and mentioned a few words about force analysis, those people's eyes shone with admiration.
Roning had never built a building or joined a craftsmen's guild, but they all called him Master Roning, and they all sounded a little flattered.
"Your comfort is very important to me."
Luo Ning said sincerely: "After we arrive at Shanlin Town, I still have a lot of things I want you to help me analyze and design."
What he said is true.
Roning wanted to make a spinning wheel and a loom, not a curved plow, most right now.
He would never let a carpenter like Dan do assembly line work like assembling the Tiemu Zhajia loom. He wanted him to make the loom according to his own ideas, which was the key to making silk.
In addition to the loom, Roning also thought of water wheels, windmills, and even the ships behind. After all, there is a sea to the north of Wushan Territory.
"It is my honor to serve you, my lord!"
Dahn's eyes were sharp.
There are only two ways for a craftsman to reach his level of skill and become a master craftsman:
Either he could master the method of using magical materials, but he was just an ordinary person and did not have such conditions;
Otherwise, you can only design something new that is unique and valuable.
Dann saw this possibility in Roning, which is why he chose to leave Wushan City and go to Shanlin Town.
"Baron Ronin, can we set off now?"
Knight Galil approached on his tall horse and asked politely.
When he returned this time, Wiggins arranged for twelve professional knights from the First Knight Squad to escort him.
In Wiggins' words, the Skull and Bones Society would most likely attack Ronin or Breton, so he arranged for a team to escort both of them when they traveled.
Whether Wiggins was afraid of the assassination or because he cared about him, Roning did not reject Wiggins's kindness.
After all, he was bringing so many important people on the road this time, and it was very important to ensure they arrived at Shanlin Town safely.
"Alright, Galil, let's go now."
Luo Ning ended the conversation, turned over and rode on the Treading Cloud Horse, waved to the two stewards who came to see him off, and then led the large army toward Shanlin Town.
For the return trip, Roning rented dozens of carriages from Wushan Fort and purchased food and supplies needed along the way. He spent more than forty gold coins to make these craftsmen more comfortable.
Even though he had spent more than a hundred gold coins in total, fortunately, he had made a lot of money this time, so the small amount of gold coins did not hurt Roning enough.
He looked at the huge team. This time, he brought more people back to Shanlin Town than the last time.
However, the quality of the personnel this time was uneven. The oldest was Master Craftsman Daen, who was already 47 years old. Considering his ability to bear it, Roning could only slow down his pace.
Because of this, the journey from Wushanbao to Shanlin Town will probably take until early November.
We will arrive in Shanlin Town in mid-November, let this group of people settle down, and start production.
Although Luo Ning was very anxious, there were no airplanes, high-speed trains, or flat highways there, so it was useless no matter how anxious you were.
…
"Ronin is gone?"
In a training room in Wushan Castle, Breton, who was practicing swordsmanship, stopped practicing when he saw his mother coming.
The news that Roning brought magical farm tools to Wushan Fort has spread in the past few days. Bretton really wants to see what's so magical about the curved plow that he has only heard of but never seen.
It's a pity Diane has put him under house arrest, forbidding him to go out casually, let alone play with Roning.
Diane, with her blond hair, was always dignified and beautiful. "She left under the escort of Galil."
"Bredon, it's time for you to go back to the Extraordinary Academy. We need to explain to Baron Leisen of Sean why we didn't help him get those lands this time."
Diane handed over a letter and said, "Take this letter back to the Extraordinary Academy and give it to Moravi so he can pass it on to his father."
Breton wiped the sweat from his hands and took the letter. "Okay, I'll pass it to him."
Diane did not ask her son not to open the letter because she knew her son's character and knew that he would not touch other people's things. This was basic courtesy.
"Okay, Sir Laurent, please lead the team in escorting Breton back this afternoon."
Laurent Nolan, a knight of the Hyde family, is said to have the strength to rival a silver-level knight.
Ever since Wiggins was assassinated last time, in order to ensure the safety of his grandson Breton, Orson specifically applied to Rulans to let Laurent Nolan become Breton's personal bodyguard.
Although Wushan Castle had sufficient manpower to protect Bretton, Lulans did not reject the Hyde family's proposal. At least protecting Bretton's safety was their common demand.
"At your service, Lady Diane!"
Laurent saluted respectfully, but his eyes had a different emotion when he looked at Diane.
Diane was beautiful once upon a time. No, even now, Diane is still beautiful.
Before she married Wiggins, this girl was the dream lover of many knights in Earl Hyde's territory, including Laurent.
Diane avoided Laurent's gaze, walked up to touch Breton's cheek, and reminded him: "Remember, when you arrive at the academy, don't just focus on training and practice, but also learn from the teachers how to handle government affairs."
"I heard that Luo Ning has some insights into territory management. You can't let him outshine you, understand?"
Brayton nodded, "I understand. I will learn from my brother."
Dai Anni's hands froze momentarily, then returned to normal, "Well, go ahead."
Breton left the training room under Laurent's escort.
Diane looked at her son and sighed. Bretton was very talented in cultivation but not that good in other aspects.
But she was not panicking. With her assistance, she believed that her son could be a good master of Wushan Territory.
