I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 120
Willie is an old blacksmith who has been engaged in blacksmithing for many years. He has learned blacksmithing from his father since he was very young. With his talent and hard work, he quickly learned all his father's techniques.

His father thinks that he is an excellent blacksmith, and what he lacks now is nothing more than experience, but Willie is not satisfied. He feels that he still has too little to learn, so he took some money and went to a big town. things, and ended up being an apprentice to an old blacksmith.

This old blacksmith has a weird temper, but his blacksmithing skills are very good, especially he has his own understanding of weapons and armor. Stay in the town as a citizen.

If you want me to build a weapon for you, yes, come here directly, and you need to queue up, because there are a lot of nobles in front.

Once a nobleman threw down a thousand gold coins and asked him to build weapons first, but he was rejected. He said that he had principles and would not accept the behavior of jumping in line, so he had to wait in line.

Just like this, many people said that he didn't know what to do and offended the nobles, but it didn't end well.

In fact, the old blacksmith was indeed persecuted by the nobles, and many knights wanted to arrest him, but at that time, there happened to be a middle-level knight beside him, who risked his life to take him out.

Since then, the old blacksmith stopped forging, and Willy was driven away, and then went to Ash Town.

It is precisely because he has studied with the old blacksmith for several years that Willie's blacksmithing skills are quite good, and he bears in mind the old blacksmith's words that blacksmithing is a science, and his thinking should not be too fixed all the time, but should be changed according to the actual situation encountered , Just like flames have different temperatures, if you cannot control the flames, you will be swallowed by the flames.

The blast furnace he used was improved according to his own understanding, but the raw materials were too poor to be used for a long time.

Lynn nodded after hearing what he said, "I will provide you with materials for you to make changes. In addition, this kind of cement can also replace the soil that blocks the gaps and play the function of continuous operation. You can do it with confidence and boldness. I am worried about the material, but one thing to remember is that every time you fail, you must learn from it and learn from it, and you cannot fail again and again in one place.”

Willie froze for a moment, this sentence reminded him of the old blacksmith.

"What's the matter, can't you do it?" Lynn frowned slightly.

"No, it can be done, but what you said reminded me of my master. He told me before that there is no need to be afraid of failure in blacksmithing, because every failure will bring you experience. Only the more experience, the fewer mistakes you will make. ’” Willie replied.

"Oh, who is your master?" Lin En asked, it is not easy for the other party's master to be able to say such a thing.

"His name is Roland."

Karis' eyes moved, "Master Roland?"

"You know him?" Willie asked.

Caris had a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to be Master Roland's apprentice. No wonder your blacksmithing skills are good."

He explained to Lynn: "Master Roland is a famous master blacksmith. There are hundreds of weapons made by him, each with its own name, and two of the long swords have become The king's sword, and the three long swords are the weapons of high-ranking knights, by the way, one of them is Knight Matthew."

Lynn nodded, it turned out that there was such a relationship.

"The epee in the Earl's hand was forged by Master Roland. It is said that when the Earl was young, he followed him to kill countless enemies and monsters. Even the dark sword has blood that cannot be erased. .”

Lynn remembered that in his memory, he had seen the epee when he was young, and he could feel the aura on it from a distance, and ordinary people couldn't get close to it. Later, when the epee was put away, he used it Haven't seen it either.

With the Earl's current state, I'm afraid he can't even pick up the epee.

"I don't know why later, Master Roland disappeared, and I never heard from him again." Carliss said.

"That's because a nobleman asked the knight to arrest him, and wanted him to make weapons for that nobleman forever." Willy opened his mouth and told what he had experienced.

After hearing this, Karis felt pity, "I really didn't expect it to happen."

Lin En didn't take it seriously. The character of an old blacksmith would suffer such things sooner or later. As others said, if he offended the nobles, it would be over. Although he has such good blacksmithing skills, but his own strength is not strong ah.

Most of the nobles are small-minded people. If an ordinary freeman says so, they will only think that the honor of the nobles has been damaged, and they will inevitably retaliate.

Matthew is, Roland is, and Lynn reckons that many people are like this.

After all, no matter what era it is, there will always be some strange things.

But these wonderful things have their own unique abilities.

"Is Master Roland still alive?" Lynn asked.

Willie replied, "Don't know, I haven't seen him in years, and I don't know if he's still there."

"Well, if you have time, look for it. It would be great if you can bring him back. If not, it will be regarded as your master and apprentice meeting again."

Lynn really wants such a master to settle in Ash Town, but Willy has mentioned Roland's temper, even if he tied him over, it would be useless, and it would be easier to offend the other party.

Anyway, it is already a very happy thing to make cement today.

"You have all seen the process of making cement just now, and I will follow this process in the future. I hope that the speed of improvement of the blast furnace will be accelerated, so that more cement can be produced."

Lynn paused, then asked again: "If you need anything, just tell Caris."

He left the blacksmith shop, and before leaving, he glanced at a young blacksmith standing on the edge with his head lowered, as if he was afraid of being noticed.

"Is he new here?" Lynn asked.

Karis followed the adult's line of sight, saw him, and immediately replied, "Yes, sir, I forgot to tell you about him, this man is very weird."

"Kill!" Callis yelled.

Blacksmith Keir ran over immediately when he heard the shout, and said in a trembling tone, "My lord, are you looking for me?"

Carliss said: "He is called Kiel, and he is also a free man, but his life is relatively difficult and he doesn't make much money."

Lynn took a look, "As a blacksmith, but no money, it seems that there are special circumstances."

Keir scratched his head in embarrassment, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Karis said for him, "His habit is very strange. He often spends a lot of time carving a piece of iron, just like a hoe. Other blacksmiths only need to make it well. The size of each hoe will have a certain size. The difference, and he, would be so accurate that every hoe was the same.

It is precisely because of this that he is very slow in building tools, and over time, no one is willing to look for him. "

Keel grinned, with a hint of disbelief in his smile.

"I can't help it. If I don't make them accurate to a certain extent, I will feel uncomfortable and I won't be able to sleep at all." Keel sighed. He also thought about correcting it, but no matter how he changed it, he still looked the same.

"OCD!" Lynn blurted out.

"Ah?" The two said in unison, not quite understanding the word.

"It's to force yourself to do certain things. If you don't do them, you will keep thinking about them, and it will even affect you to do other things." Lynn explained briefly.

Kiel nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, that's it, are you too, my lord?"

"I'm not, but your obsessive-compulsive disorder is not a big problem," Lynn thought.

The blacksmith suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. For him, it is a painful thing, especially for making quantitative tools. Unless there is a machine, no one can make every piece of iron exactly the same.

However, to a certain extent, he can concentrate on building some fine things, such as bearings, barrels and so on.

"Well, you help me build something, follow me to the castle, and you build it according to the drawing, and you don't need to build other farm tools." Lynn said.

Although Kiel didn't know what to build, since the lord said it, it must be something precious.

They returned to the castle, and Lynn handed him some drawings.

When Keir took it over, he saw the painting on the blueprint, and he was immediately attracted. It is such an exquisite object. If it can be built, it will definitely satisfy him a lot—according to what the adults said, it is obsessive-compulsive disorder .

Keir took the blueprint and left.

Karis didn't understand what was on the drawing, but he didn't ask. The master must have his own ideas about what he did, and he only needed to do his housekeeping duties well.

"Master, you went to the earl after you came back from the camp, and I haven't reported some specific things to you yet."

"What else?" Lynn asked.

"I counted the gold coins you brought back. There are a total of 510 taels. In addition, there are a lot of weapons and a small amount of armor. I temporarily put them in the warehouse for weapons and armor. The weapons can be used by others. But the armor doesn't work, Jack and Miles have tried it, it's just too big."

Lin En was not surprised. The lone wolf was so strong, and it was not easy to find a knight who was similar to him.

"Besides, there are great quantities of seeds, beer, cloth, spices, livestock, etc., and besides that there are twelve horses, three of which are thoroughbreds, and the rest are draft horses, which I have The draft horses are arranged to work in the plowed fields, and the thoroughbred horses are taken care of by the servant Beeton."

Lynn left in a hurry that day, and didn't check in detail how much he got. Now it seems that the militiamen have searched the camp.

Caris continued: "There are many and many types of seeds, some of which are suitable for current planting and have already been planted."

Lynn nodded, very satisfied with Carliss's arrangement, only such a butler can help him, after all, it is impossible for him to take care of these trivial matters.

"I have some ideas about livestock."

"Tell me."

"I think since we have established a commercial area, a residential area, an agricultural area, etc., I think we can add a livestock area."

Lynn looked up at Karis and motioned him to continue.

"Since we want to build a livestock area, we need to fully consider the living conditions of the livestock. It is necessary to have sufficient pasture and water, and it must be cleaned regularly. Before, I thought it would be fine to occupy a small area, but you said that Buy wool in bulk, and I think we can raise our own sheep at the same time as we buy, so that if there is a situation where they don't sell us wool, we don't have wool at all.

In addition, I think it is possible to expand the scale of breeding livestock such as dairy cows, goats, chickens, ducks, and pigs. The first four can produce products, and after satisfying their own consumption, they can sell the abundant products. You can rely on them to earn gold coins continuously.

As for pigs, they are relatively easy to raise, and they don’t take too long to grow up. One pig can feed dozens of people. If it is provided to serfs, hundreds of serfs can eat it for a long time.

Therefore, the scale of this construction should not be too small, and it is better to be close to the river. "

Carliss spoke his mind and waited for a reply.

clap clap!

The sound of applause sounded, and Lynn said with great satisfaction: "The ideas you mentioned are all good. Just do what you said and build a livestock area. As for the specific location, you need to plan, but you can start now. , to buy large quantities of livestock."

Karis immediately replied, "Sir, you don't need to buy too much, because you brought back a lot of livestock last time. There are 21 cows alone, thirteen goats, hundreds of chickens and ducks, sixteen sheep, and three An old sow."

Lynn: "."

"So much?" Lynn was really surprised.

"Yes, maybe we need to buy more sheep."

Lynn stood up straight away, "No wonder it is said that robbery is the fastest way to get money. Now it seems that I still underestimated it. Why don't you go for robbery."

But thinking about it, the group of mercenaries like Lone Wolf dared to kill even noble lords, so they must have robbed many villages and towns for such a long time.

He also found it strange that what Lone Wolf was doing with these livestock, for people like them, it would be better to exchange them for gold coins.

What Lynn didn't know was that the lone wolf was preparing for his own territory. These livestock were kept by him on purpose, but he didn't expect that they were taken away by Lynn in the end.

Caris heard Lynn's words and said anxiously: "My lord, you can't do this. Robbery will cause the nobles to conquest together, and it will be a great damage to the honor of the nobles."

Lin En didn't care much about the so-called noble honor, but he also knew that any orthodox noble lord would not do such a thing, because once discovered, not only would he die, he might even lose his noble status.
