Chapter 211: Successor (Third Update, Ask for Subscription~)
The old mayor's departure made everyone a little sad, but the meeting still had to go on, and Eugen asked some more questions about gun production, and Margaret answered them one by one.
"With the current production capacity of Lebor City, it can produce an average of 30 Eugen muskets per week, and more than 100 guns can be guaranteed a month, of course, this is based on the premise of sufficient supply of steel and other resources."
Margarita's brow furrowed slightly when she said this, obviously there was something unspoken.
"Can our resource supply keep up now?" Eugen casually asked, if there is a mature manufacturing plan, but there are no resources to make it, it is really frustrating.
Hearing this, Maria was in charge, and when she heard this, she stood up, shook her head and said depressedly: "Originally, it was enough, we still have two mines in the northern mountains, but Tariq cut off this route after making a move, and with the resources we have in stock, we can only produce for a week at most." ”
Every week, the mine produces a large amount of mineral resources to supply the city, and some of these are sold as commodities for gold coins, in addition to their own use.
The benefits generated were also considerable, and now that the route was cut off, it meant that the city of Lebor was losing a lot of money every day.
Eugen calculated that if there were thirty muskets a week, he could equip a musket team of thirty people, and under normal circumstances, even if he dealt with a hundred-man cavalry team of the opponent, it would not be a problem.
"How many bullets can we produce in a week, and are there enough resources to make bullets?"
Eugen asked this way, because he had already moved his mind to make the Eugen musket appear on the battlefield.
"There are no problems with the production of bullets." Margarita replied first: "The process of making bullets is relatively simple, and now the blacksmiths in charge of making them are more hand-made, and they can maintain an output of three thousand bullets a week, and this number can be further increased over time. ”
Maria followed Margarita's words and said: "There is no problem with the supply of resources, we have a lot of gunpowder in stock, and there are also a lot of brass used to make bullets, which can last for a long time, but it is really not good, we can still use copper coins to make bullets." ”
Hearing the words of the two of them, Eugen showed a confident smile on his face, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Great, hahaha, then it's no problem, in a week we will bring our new musket team and take back the mine that belongs to us." ”
"You're saying we're going to officially go to war with Tariq?" Margarita frowned when she heard this, and said suspiciously: "Wouldn't this be a bit hasty, after all, Tariq has eight thousand men, and we only have one thousand and two hundred, and the difference in strength is too great." ”
Eugen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, after we open the road to the mine, we will directly transport enough resources to last for a month, and the defense of Leyber City is not an ornament, enough to last for a month." ”
"In a month, we will have a hundred and twenty muskets and a sufficient number of bullets, and by that time there will be no fear of a single tariq."
Thinking of the power of the Eugen musket, Margarita felt a little confident in her heart and didn't ask any more questions.
After discussing some details, they ended the meeting and went down to arrange their own tasks.
As for the taciturn Captain Allen, he was appointed by Eugen as the captain of the Leber City Guard. Judging from the title, Allen doesn't seem to have improved, but his level has decreased, but now he has a lot of real power as the captain of the city protection team, and there is great room for improvement in the future, and there are many opportunities for meritorious service.
Captain Allen thought about it, and understood the key to this, and immediately thanked Eugen excitedly and accepted the appointment.
As a result, the new leadership team of Lebor City was formed, Eugen is the city lord and lord, Margarita and Maria are equivalent to the same position as the deputy city lord, in charge of different aspects, Margarita is in charge of production, Maria is in charge of construction, and then Parma is in charge of the position of mayor of Lebor City, dealing with some government affairs, and Alan is the captain of the city guard, in the long run, he is the commander of all Eugen legions.
Eugen had intended to leave this position to Corleone, but since leaving Venice, Eugen had not contacted Corleone, and he had not returned to the city of Leber, and a big living man had disappeared in this way.
The captain of the city guard team couldn't stay empty all the time, so he had to arrange for Allen to go up.
As for Corleone, Eugen certainly wouldn't give up, so he sent a large number of spies to find Corleone's traces, and also contacted Dirmit to help investigate.
However, now that the city of Lebor itself is under siege, the transmission of information has been delayed, and it is difficult to find Corleone in this situation.
After Eugen returned, the city of Lybor also entered a period of stability, and the whole city seemed to have a backbone.
Some of the legends about Eugen that have been circulated in the Italian peninsula have also been passed down here, and although the content is somewhat different, the general direction remains the same.
Hearing that his lord was a hero, the residents of the city were also very proud, and they unconsciously puffed up their chests when they walked on the street, full of energy.
Faith is a peculiar power, because of the trust and admiration of the lord, the inhabitants of the city of Lyber, under the siege of the city and the shortage of goods, did not produce any riots, but still waited with confidence, waiting, some unknown hope.
This hope is not concrete, nor does it point to anything, they simply believe that as long as Eugen is their lord, they will definitely lead them out of the current predicament and usher in a better life.
In this way, the whole city spent the first week of Eugen's return in a calm and unusual atmosphere.
The First Iron Works in the city of Lebour---- which is the name of the factory that produced Eugen muskets---- on this day, the first shipment was finally produced, a full thirty brand new Eugen muskets.
Unique and delicate construction, new shining iron barrels, solemn and murderous black, and engraved with the Habsburg emblem of the double eagle on the hilt, these guns have been shining since the beginning of their birth, and their sound will surely shake the world.
This is a memorable day, both for Eugen and for the First Iron Works, this day has a certain extraordinary significance, it means that from this day on, the First Iron and Steel Plant has the production technology and capacity beyond the current era; It also means that from this day on, Eugen will embark on a narrow and iron-blooded road, towards the throne at the end, until he becomes a unique, true, king!
