Arold explained the basic principle of the wire drawing machine a little, the two masters understood, they excitedly put down the wine glass in their hands, Arold knew that the wire drawing machine is a very simple machine tool, but it is enough to become a watershed between manual zuò and mechanical zuò, he does not know whether he will advance the technology will have any changes to the history of future generations, he only knows that he must protect this territory that belongs to him completely.

"Our smelting base is next to the water flow, didn't I install a hydro blower for you before? Only by transforming the hydraulic blower into a hydraulic wire drawing machine can you save a lot of manpower. Arold thought about it and further advanced the technology, but in the Middle Ages, because of the shortage of manpower, the wind mill appeared relatively early, and Arold's measures did not surpass this era much, but he skillfully combined these with weapon manufacturing.

"Well, if this is the case, our output will be greatly increased, as long as the supply of iron is sufficient, it is enough to produce fifty pieces of chain mail a month." Orn calculated in his heart, as long as the iron and manpower were sufficient, it would be no problem to complete fifty locks a month.

"No, it's still too slow." Arold said depressedly, he needs more powerful weapons and defenses, thinking of this, how can he forget about the defense artifact bricks and cement, Arold remembered that bricks can be mixed with clay and hay lime next to the guò river, and the composition of cement should also be clay and lime, so it is simple to make a batch of cement and bricks, make watchtowers in towns, ports and strategic places, and arrange crossbowmen. As well as ballista defense, if the Vikings want to attack their territory, they have to uproot these watchtowers one by one, which is almost impossible in this era, thinking of this, Arrod immediately ordered his personal attendant, "Go and find the head of the handicraft guild in the town of Wismar, and the president of the branch of the stonemason's guild." ”

"Yes, Lord Count." The personal attendant hurriedly promised Arrod, and immediately ran out to run an errand for Arrod, there was still some distance between the town of Wismar and the town of Mecklenburg, so Arold asked Orn and Master Newman to go back first to prepare the materials for the wire drawing machine.

"Can I speak to you, Lord Earl?" At this time. Julian walked in, and he turned sideways. Make way for the two masters of weapons and armor, and bow as he approaches Arrod.

"Yes, Julian." Arold was also immersed in the idea of how to mobilize all his forces to deal with the terrible Vikings. However, Julian ventured into the interior of the Bohèmes. He was given a great deal of credit for defeating the Duke of Bohemia. As a result, Arrod re-admitted Julian, but the Javelin Cavalry he had previously led had been assigned to Taylor, so Julian could only temporarily become Arrode's Knight of the Inner Palace.

"Lord Earl. What are you going to do with those 800 Bohemian slaves? "Julian had been alienated and punished by the furious Arjod for disobeying Arrod's orders last time, and he volunteered to become a spy infiltrating the Bohemians in order to win Arold's trust, and after risking his life to complete the mission, Arold finally readmitted him.

"The strong men were added to the German mercenary regiments, the Bohemians were very skilled in horseback riding, and their method of composite bow making was at our disposal, and the old and weak were incorporated into the smelting base as labor, but before that they were converted to Catholicism." Not all the soldiers in the German mercenary group are Germanic, and a third of them are slave soldiers, but they gradually regain their freedom through the establishment of meritorious deeds, and they can choose to continue military service or leave, but in the group of German mercenary groups there is a more generous pay than outside, and the mercenary group is actually Arold's private soldiers, and idiots will choose to leave.

"Well, Lord Earl, there is a man named Primo in this group of slaves, who is the horse trainer of the Duke of Bohemia, and I have found among the Bohemians that he is very good at raising horses, and if we are to deal with a people like the Bohemians in the future, cavalry is indispensable, so I hope that Lord Count can make good use of it." Julian spoke to Arrode.

"Oh, there are such talents?" Arold was very surprised, raising horses is a technical job, and it requires a certain amount of experience and long-term exploration before it is possible to raise a cavalry.

"That's right, the Bohemian horses are taller than ours, and their endurance is excellent in all respects, and if it weren't for your ingenuity, Lord Count, the Bohemian cavalry that terrified the princes would not have been defeated so quickly." Julian said.

"Well, I will propose this horse trainer separately, and if he is willing to serve us, I may appoint him as my court horse trainer, and be the steward of my earl's stables." Arold said to Julian in a good manner, the Earl's Stable by no means refers to Arold's stable, but a collection of stables, horse iron shop, cavalry armor and weapons shop as a comprehensive institution, is Arold in order to produce elite cavalry established institutions, but now it is only a prototype, until he brings back a lot of money and material resources, he can start to build and form.

"I'll convince him." Julian felt that he had a bit of a friendship with that Primo, and that Prion had taken good care of him when he was in the army of the Duke of Bohemia.

"One more thing." Arold stopped Julian, who was about to leave, and then said to him, "We should have more allies in the time when the Vikings are coming. ”

"Huh? Didn't the Earl make an alliance with the three vassals? Julian asked, puzzled.

"The territory of the Count of Weimar and others is too far away from us, and they will have no time to help us once we are attacked." Moreover, Arold knew that these great nobles of the Duchy of Mason would only act when their own interests were harmed, and they might not be able to help them fight against the terrible Vikings for a covenant.

"So who else can we help us?" Julian thought about it, even if the Count of Weimar and others were willing to help them, I am afraid that by the time the army arrived, Mecklenburg would only be left in ruins.

"What? Have you forgotten which Countess of Weller? Arold smiled and said to Julian.

"Ugh." Julian's expression became a little anxious, the last time he made a mistake was because of Marty, Countess of Wellle, and at this time Arold brought it up, which made Julian a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I'm not going through old accounts, I appoint you, Julian as my Foreign Secretary, take the gift I have prepared for the Countess, and set out for Willle at once, and be sure to persuade her to provide the necessary help when the Vikings attack us, and before then you can stay in the court of the Countess and be our liaison." Arold immediately picked up a roll of parchment and brushed it a few times, wrote a letter of appointment on it, then lit a red wax and dripped a large drop of wax oil on it, and then covered it with his own signet ring.

"I'll get the job done." Julian took the letter of appointment, solemnly held it in his arms, and his expression was a little excited, and the fact that he could become foreign secretary showed that Arold recognized his abilities and was determined to complete this task.

The Assassin Sean was staying in the chamber at Mecklenburg at this time, he was now an attendant of Arrod, and there were six attendants who were about the same age as Shaun with Arrod, and every day there were two attendants who had to follow Arrod as personal attendants, and the six of them worked exactly three shifts, and they could hand over papers or errands for Arrod at any time, and the rest of the people could move and rest freely except for cleaning Arold's horses and armor, and they could live a life better than the farmers who did heavy farm work. There are also merchants who venture north and south to the north are much stronger.

"Sister Leila is coming over today?" A fat little squire in the chamber said that Sean knew that he was a fat man who always liked to soak in the kitchen when he was idle, and that he was originally a noble child who had emigrated from other territories, and that his family had dyed cloth as a family business in the towns outside Mecklenburg.

"Yes, the castle is running low on honey, hey, you're just in luck with the newcomer." Another squire said that this was the most senior of them all, Harun's little squire, and the others were not born nobles, but were said to be the first squires to follow Arold after receiving squire education in the Lion Castle, and were loved by everyone for their maturity and stability.

"Leila?" Sean asked curiously, it seems that these little squires are very much looking forward to her arrival.

"That's right, pretty and beautiful Sister Leila." The little fat man Xia Zuo took out a piece of bacon from his arms and said with a smirk while eating.

"Xia Zuo, why did you steal the things in the kitchen again, if the cooks found out, they would definitely report it to the earl." When Harun saw Xia Zuo's greedy appearance, he couldn't help frowning and said to him reproachfully.

"It's okay, it's not the first time he's been denounced by the cooks." A tall, thin squire lying on the bed said lazily, one of his legs dangling from the edge of the bed, his name was Vogil, and he turned out to be the son of a stonemason.

"That's true, but Xia Zuo can't get carried away because of the kindness of Lord Earl." Harun knew that the last time Xia Zuo was arrested, this little fat man was frightened, and when he was pulled down in front of Arrod, he was so frightened that he peed his pants, but Arold waved his hand disapprovingly, saying that it didn't matter if the children were still growing and eating more, although the adults in the court felt that the Earl was too fond of his attendants, but it was not good to say anything.

"I know, but I'm so hungry." Xia Zuo didn't forget to lick his fingers after eating the bacon, and he shrugged his shoulders at Harun.

"Sister Leila is here, come out and help." At this time, a small head poked out of the door and said to everyone smartly.

"Here comes Duke." Everyone else hurriedly stood up and responded, this youngest little clever ghost Duke turned out to be the son of a slave, and Sean felt that Arrod's attendants were simply varied. (To be continued......)
