If you want to sell a large number of storm carriages, it is far from enough to produce them with the current production efficiency, because at present, a few cars are produced at most a day, and the production of more than 100 cars a month is already a very remarkable data.

But this amount is not enough for Stormfort to use on its own, you must know that in order to speed up the efficiency of mine transportation, Duke intends to switch from the previous manpower to horse-drawn carriage transportation.

In addition, if the goods of the Storm Merchant Bank want to greatly reduce the cost, it is also necessary to use the storm carriage in an all-round way. According to Duke's own estimates, plus the horse-drawn carriages of future army logistics, Storm Fort will need at least a thousand or more storm-drawn carriages to meet basic needs.

And this is still an official demand, and the 200,000 people of Storm Castle can't still be transported in the old-fashioned and dilapidated carriages of the previous one. Even Duke plans to use China's experience to create a single-use unicycle, which can greatly reduce the purchase cost, and the technological convenience brought by ball bearings can also be used by the lowest level of the public.

If you want a real qualitative change in the output of the Storm Castle wagons, then there is only one way, and that is to operate according to the standard industrial assembly line of later generations.

For the term assembly line, modern people are almost no stranger, because almost all industrial products come from the assembly line. Handmade products that have not experienced the assembly line are limited by production and cost factors, and can basically only occupy the market in specific environments, such as tourist attractions.

The most famous reason for the modern assembly line is the production of Ford Motors, which claims to have created the industrial assembly line. Ford was not the only car manufacturer in the early days, and Ford was not the most famous and powerful one, because the European continent did not completely decline, and the United States was not the world leader later.

However, Ford relied on the industrial assembly line production method, which caused a qualitative decline in automobile production and cost, which instantly defeated the production efficiency of other traditional car companies and seized the market scale. He even turned the once high price of a car into an American worker who could buy a Ford Model T for less than four months' wages.

Of course, with the current level of Stormcastle technology, even a steam engine can't be built, let alone an internal combustion engine. However, the assembly line is not a technological climb, but a change in the way of production, in fact, a long time ago, Duke intended to let some of the products of Stormcastle work together and finally assemble, rather than having one person completely complete all the production steps.

It's just that this kind of division of labor and cooperation in the primary stage is still very different from the real assembly line production standard. Now that the Storm Castle Carriage has also reached this point, the production method that once created the brilliant Ford sedan may be about to create the history of the Storm Castle Carriage!

The thought of the Storm Castle producing an endless stream of Storm Wagons in the future made Duke feel a pang of excitement in his heart. But soon he thought of the real problem, that is, the current human resources of Storm Castle are really insufficient, although with the addition of the Sea Clan, but these Sea Clans are honestly because of the difference between them and humans, and in a sense of lack of IQ, except for Naga and some high-level Sea Clans, no one else is very suitable for the profession of skilled workers.

Therefore, if you want to truly establish the working class of Stormcastle, you need to attract as many human citizens as possible to Stormcastle.

Faced with this shortage of human resources, Duke naturally looked at Bashir: "Bashir, now that Storm Fort is in urgent need of manpower, is there a way to attract more people to Storm Fort as soon as possible?"

Hearing Duke's inquiry, Bashir immediately replied, "Tell my lord, I have actually been planning for the shortage of manpower in Storm Castle before. ”

"In the past, the largest people in our Storm Castle were the wars between the French Empire and the Milan Empire, absorbing nearly 100,000 displaced people. As a result, due to the approach of the Holy See army, only 50,000 people remained in Stormcastle. But now that the war between the two countries is over, it is basically impossible to accept the mass displacement unless it is another war in the winter. ”

"However, although there are no displaced people in the border area of Milan, but on the northern border of the empire, because of the threat of the Orcs and the Hans Empire, many people dare not continue to stay in the border area, and now there are a large number of fleeing refugees near Duke Otto's Duchy of Berry who have not returned, and it is estimated that there are more than 100,000. ”

Hearing al-Bashir say that there were more than 100,000 homeless people on the borders of the Duchy of Berry, Duke was a little moved. However, it may be more difficult to implement it than to accept the displaced people from Andorra la Vella, although he is the son of Duke Otto, but in fact, Duke has never even seen this cheap father.

Even if it is the image in Duke's memory, it is also what it looked like when he was a few years old, because Duke was sent to the imperial capital as a "proton" like an existence, more than ten years have passed, and the memory of his former father has become very vague, except for the mention of Duke Otto when he pulls the tiger skin, it can be said that this father is missing in Duke's life.

"Al-Bashir, try to organize a storm convoy to the borders of the Duchy of Berry, and see if you can use the name of the Otto family to bring in these outcasts. But I think even if they are willing to come, at least it will be a matter of a month, is there any way to get a group of people in a short period of time?"

Hearing Duke's words, Bashir's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he thought for a moment and replied, "Because Storm Fort is located in a dangerous border area, there are not many residents nearby. If you really want to get people, you can only start from the Saint-Michel Mountains, the mountains on this side of Storm Castle, the snow-melted streams and hot springs, and there are many villages, so you should have no problem getting tens of thousands of people.

"In fact, in addition to these humans, there are many more dwarves hiding in the Saint-Michel Mountains, but the places where they hide are too hidden and very hostile to most of the humans. At the beginning, the Hammer tribe only attracted some poor dwarves nearby, and the really slightly more complete dwarf tribes would not submit to Storm Castle, if you want to convince these dwarves, you need the Hammer leader to send dwarves to the Saint-Michel Mountains to find and persuade them. ”

For the dwarves, Duke can be said to be salivating, and the dwarves' strong combat power is also of great help to Storm Castle.

"Well, just do as you say, on the one hand, go to the Duchy of Berry to receive the displaced people, and try to attract them with high conditions. On the other hand, I will ask Hammer to send people to the Saint-Michel Mountains to find other dwarven tribes, and finally we will find a way to pull people from Alpine City and the Andorran pro-kingdom, I believe that Storm Castle should have a certain attraction now!"
