"What the hell is this Lelouch doing? It's not enough to push us down the road to war, and he's going to move all the blacksmiths from the White City?"

"Anyway, every day that passes in White City now, we will lose a lot of blacksmiths, you know, blacksmiths will soon become very sought-after!"

"But what can be done? Lelouch is so good to those mud legs, we can't offer such good conditions!"

"It's not just the blacksmiths, but now even the knights are starting to run to Lelouch. ”

"I'm not worried about knights, after all, those who are willing to go to Lelouch are just some fallen knights, and real noble knights are not willing to go. ”

"No matter what, let's wait and see, I just hope this plague god can leave soon!"

。。。

Lelouxiu's move to recruit people in Baicheng not only caused an uproar among the commoners, but even among the nobles, they were also immediate, after all, no matter how unwilling they are, the necessary combat preparations must also be made, and the blacksmith is a talent, naturally indispensable to rob, but no matter how much he robs, he can't win Lelouxiu, in addition to having money, fame is such a thing, at this time, began to reflect his value, and it was at this time that the nobles found that Lelouxiu's attention to the clay legs was not unreasonable and rewarding.

A week, a week has passed, seven days of intense work in a row, so that these knights who will never frown even if they charge to hell turn pale, Lelouch lacks clerks, and he is unwilling to hand over this kind of work to people he does not trust, so he can only work hard for these knights who were forced by Lelouch to teach literacy.

But fortunately, after seven consecutive days of work, the number of people who came to sign up finally decreased, and the team that was originally out of sight disappeared, except for one or two families who came over occasionally, and the knights could finally relax a little.

"My lord, it depends, after today, we can set off with the last group of people. ”

"Well, very good, how many people have we enrolled this time?"

"Because of the blacksmiths recruited first, so the vast majority of them are blacksmiths and their families, a total of nearly 3,500 households were enrolled in seven days, with a total population of nearly 15,000 people, it is rare that these people's nutrition is generally preferred, and the physical values are also excellent, and even the blacksmith family members are more or less a little blacksmith skills, if you judge according to your standards, regardless of factors such as age and gender, we have recruited a total of 10,000 workers."

Although the total population of Lelouch's county has reached about 100,000, and the demand for population is not as great as it was at the beginning, this 15,000 population still makes Lelouch feel refreshed, not because of the large number of people, but because of the 10,000 solid blacksmith workers, you know, although Lelouch has begun to develop industry, more than 90% of Limburg's manpower is put on agriculture.

If Lelouch wants to gain the power of the entire empire, then it is absolutely indispensable to win the support of the people at the bottom, and the best way to win the support of the people at the bottom is to throw money, or rather, materials.

For the people at the bottom, their demand for money is not so strong, what they really need is a stable life and abundant materials, stability needs external resistance and internal governance, it is difficult to see results in a short period of time, but abundant materials are different, it can almost be said that as long as a year, the effect will appear immediately, so Lelouch will attach so much importance to agriculture, with agriculture, there is everything.

However, industry is the foundation of prosperity.

Lelouch is very satisfied with the addition of these 10,000 workers, although there are still a lot of children and women, but now is not the time to talk about these, indeed, children receive education, women engaged in light industry or agriculture is the best choice, but now it is different, unless it is the children of the nobility who began to receive education at birth, these commoner children can not start learning halfway, how good can they learn, compared to literacy, they have more understanding of the ancestral blacksmith craft, and it is faster to get started, so Lelouch still decided to send these children, all of them to the factory to engage in industryTheir offspring or younger siblings may receive a full set of education, but they can only pave the way and make sacrifices for their younger siblings and offspring.

Of course, there will be education, but it will make some of the most basic and simple literacy education, and patriotic education (Elousian) education

"With these 10,000 workers, our industrial zone can be further expanded, relying on the iron ore factory of the mine and the charcoal of the North Wind Jungle, plus the waterwheel, whether it is power or raw materials, it is sufficient, and there are no technical restrictions, and when these 10,000 people go back, the scale can be expanded immediately, so that the first industrial prototype area of Middle-earth will be completed!"

Lelouch who was talking to himself became happier and happier when he thought of this, but the good times did not last long, and Libert went on to say a cruel truth, that is: there is no money!

"How can there be no money?" was Lelouch's first reaction

"Of course, there will be no money, in the past seven days in order to appease these blacksmiths, we have spent a lot of money, just the food for these few days is already a lot of money, plus the cost of relocation and resettlement, we can't help but spend more money."

Lelouch was slightly speechless, but this did not make Lelouch more depressed, although the money is gone, but the matter is done, and the next beer caravan will be more numerous, the scale will be larger, and the price will definitely be higher, compared with his first income, the second time will definitely have an explosive growth, this growth will last at least ten or even fifteen times in Lelouxiu's opinion, and when the initial quota on the market is saturated, the profit will drop sharply to a reasonable water product, although there will be so many profits by then, but economically, Lelouch will no longer need to worry, at least before the territory is further expanded！

"Well, it looks like we're still a long way from being rich, by the way, how are the knights recruited?"

"The situation of the knights is not very ideal, there are only four hundred knights who have taken refuge in the past few days, and most of them are some fallen knights who do not have any equipment"

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't have equipment, we now have an industrial zone, and the equipment of four hundred knights is still no problem, as long as they have horses, eh~ Do they have horses?"

"My lord, although these knights are poor, a knight without a horse can no longer be called a knight in itself!"

"That's good, that's good, as long as you have a horse!"

"Although they are all old horses or horses!"

“...”

"Okay, War Horse, we can think about it later, inform it, get ready, we will go back to Limburg tomorrow!"
