At about eight o'clock in the morning, the streets were already full of people. Nolan City is also coming to life, even if they all know that Stuyard is going south this year. But this does not seem to have dispersed these mercenary merchants, but the arrival of the war has made many merchants smell business opportunities, and Nolan City is a little more prosperous than usual.

In the Lord's Mansion, Wayne was patiently teaching this group of craftsmen the iron mold casting method. In fact, Wayne really wants to take it step by step, and he should do the mud embryo casting cannon first. After all, the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the technology has to be done step by step.

But Wayne was running out of time, and he had a year. The clay embryo casting cannon casting run is not only of poor quality, but also of small quantity. Only iron molded cannons can cast more cannons in a short period of time.

You can't be fat by eating in one bite, but you don't have to be rich. The rich taxes of the territory are Wayne's confidence, and exchanging money for experience and technology is Wayne's idea.

However, just as Wayne was teaching the craftsman to teach him, the old butler Hinderson came running over to interrupt Wayne. In Wayne's ear, he said, "Young Master, Griffin, the messenger of the Marquis of Barnfinger, is here. At Evans' place. ”

Wayne frowned, and he just wanted to scold his mother. This is here to collect money.

It's not that Wayne is clever, but he has searched according to the memories of his previous life, and this Barn Finger comes back to Nolan every time he goes to war to collect the so-called war expenses.

To be honest, if Marquis Barnfinger really sent troops to protect Nolan, Wayne would still be willing to pay. But this man is not as good as a mercenary, who can at least see a human figure and patrol the city walls in disguise. Last time, Barnfinger refused to send troops on the grounds that he had no troops to support him.

Even if Wayne was upset now, he had to go to greet him, and Wayne came to the City Lord's Mansion in a galloping carriage. Seeing that the clerks here were trembling one by one, I felt that this messenger was even bigger than his pomp. Wayne couldn't help but get a little angry.

Wayne knocked on the door, and a feminine voice rang out from inside.

"Come in. ”

Wayne quickly adjusted his state and greeted the messenger with a smile.

"Hello Griffin Emissary, may I ask you why the Marquis of Barnfinger has sent you. ”

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, Wayne said in his heart.

Even now that the messenger of the fox and the tiger was sitting in Evans' usual office, Wayne clenched his fists. After all, if you lose your temper now, it's cool, what if the Marquis of Barnfinger sends troops to attack it, what should Nolan do.

This messenger is oiled with powder, and at a glance his face knows that he is usually addicted to wine. Said in a long and slender voice

"Oh, this is Master Wayne, and I won't tell you that the Marquis is here to collect war expenses. You must know that the Marquis is the main battlefield, the place where the Stuyards attack the most. The Marquis can't afford it alone, so the Marquis needs your help. Of course, the only thing you can help in this place is gold. ”

Evans was clearly too angry to speak, let alone speak out.

Wayne smiled as best he could, and asked, "Then may I ask Mr. Emissary, how many gold coins does Lord Marquis want?"

The messenger was dissatisfied, and said, "500,000 gold coins." ”

Evans, who was penniless next to him, could no longer hold back his anger at this time, and shouted at the messenger: "500,000? This is almost all of Nolan's inventory." ”

The messenger looked at Evans defiantly, "You don't just have Nolan City, and you have to talk about Stuyard going south." If it weren't for the Marquis, you wouldn't even think about a single gold coin. You might as well send it to the Marquis, hehe, when Nolan is breached, you also have a place to go. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the Marquis will open the gates and welcome you. ”

Evans was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Anger hung over the table, cracks spreading out from under his fists.

Wayne smiled and said to the envoy, "Envoy, can you tell the Marquis." So many gold coins are too much, can you give us a few days. Moreover, the Griffin envoy came to Nolan in a hurry, and he hadn't seen Nolan City well yet, so it was better to take this opportunity to play for a few days. Everything I Wayne packed. ”

The man in the strange costume thought about it and heard that there were elven women in the brothel in Nolan City. I haven't tasted it yet, so shouldn't I see it? It's still Wayne, this kid is on the road, so he will say something good when he goes back, and go to the Marquis to help him with a few days. After thinking about it, the envoy said absentmindedly, "Young Master Wayne, then I'm not welcome, I won't disturb you." ”

The messenger walked out of the office quickly, he really couldn't wait. When I thought of the smooth skin of the elves, I couldn't help but walk a little faster.

At this time, Evans was disappointed, not only because he had to hand over his years of hard work. He was even more disappointed in this lord who he was optimistic about yesterday.

Wayne said word by word, "Are you disappointed in me, in fact, I am also angry, but you must know that you have to endure this, and you will only die sooner." ”

Evans didn't shy away from it, and said indignantly, "But it's too aggrieved." ”

Wayne smiled instead, "I'm stalling for time, not for a long time." Didn't I tell you yesterday that I had developed a new type of weapon. It just takes time to build. In just one month, you can see results in one month. Even Stuyard wouldn't dare to attack us when the time came. Whatever Bahn Finger he is, he doesn't want to touch a gold coin from Lao Tzu. ”

Evans stared at Wayne with wide eyes and shook Wayne's shoulders violently. Said excitedly

"Master Wayne, really! Nolan finally had a glimmer of hope. ”

Wayne was about to be broken up by Evans, so he quickly let go of Evans' hands.

"Evans, don't get excited, don't get excited. Now we need to do something. Even if this new weapon is successful, I want you to give me as many raw materials as I want. It's about whether or not I can hand over this weapon this month. ”

Evans nodded heavily, blushing and said, "I'll do it." ”

In fact, the envoy is not all bad, at least Evans's enthusiasm has been mobilized. The city lords of the other four cities may also be able to wake up when they hear it.

After thinking about it, Wayne also walked out of the City Lord's Mansion with gusto.

In order to cast an iron mold cannon, you must first make an iron mold. Casting iron molds first has to make clay embryos, which is similar to casting bells, but there are some differences. So Wayne mainly teaches craftsmen who have experience with brass bells.

The memory palace in my head now contains almost all the knowledge of mankind, even the blueprints of the Ford aircraft carrier. It's just that now the technology is too backward to create advanced weapons. But even artillery. Here, too, that's an epoch-making weapon.

So now Wayne is next to this group of craftsmen, personally monitoring the casting site, and he doesn't dare to be negligent. This is not only to ensure quality, but also to accumulate experience for this group of craftsmen. Let them make fewer mistakes later.
