Chapter 62: Master Dwarves
Although Meng Han had such doubts, he was not surprised. A castle plus a White House, in the era in which you live, you have to use hundreds of millions to calculate the cost, and it has to be dollars, and now the more than 100 gold coins on hand are really too cold.
"Let's go, go back and see. "These stones that have been mined are enough for the stonemasons to practice, and Meng Han also decided to put down the magic cultivation at hand and go back to deal with the affairs of the territory.
It seems that in his past month, Huangsha Town has not changed much. The people brought by the mercenaries all settled near the construction site, in Huangsha Town, and there was nothing more. If there is a change, it can only be said that the guard is a little different.
According to the plan made by Qiao and Zhu, the current training level and physical fitness of the guards were enough to the point where they could cultivate Dou Qi. Qiao and Zhu had already begun to teach them the most basic vindictive exercises. Fortunately, these twins have all learned the basic Dou Qi and have already begun to cultivate.
"Good. Meng Han was very satisfied with Qiao and Zhu's current training progress, and only after all of these people had a certain regular foundation, Meng Han planned to train them to cooperate. And the training method of cooperation is simply too much in Meng Han's mind. If nothing else, the training of recruits in the modern army alone is enough to make these people into a group of soldiers who at least look very professional.
However, this is not what to worry about at the moment, since people from the outside are coming to build their own castle, and it is a castle and a White House of that size, then a group of well-trained and professional construction workers are still needed. Obviously, random people are not necessarily qualified for such a high-level job, and it is 100% necessary to provide vocational skills training for these people.
The people brought back by the mercenaries are indeed good and bad, some old and some young. Since Meng Han has spoken first, he doesn't pick the fat and the thin, anyway, the commoners of this world, unless they rebel, there are few people who dare to be disrespectful to the nobles. Coupled with the mysterious twin curse here, it's enough to keep these outsiders at bay.
The first thing everyone did when they came to Huangsha Town was to listen to those mercenaries pointing to the pillars in the square, and describing the fate of a few people who dared to attack the twins here. Before Meng Han could even re-educate them, these people were already silent about the people here.
Grace was already waiting in the town, and as the housekeeper, all those who were sent were to register with her and be assigned a wooden house to live in. Then join the army of those who have leveled the land.
"Grace, pick the right people among them, and ask our men to teach them how to build the simplest houses, starting with the stone houses they live in. "Everything is done gradually, no one is born to do things, so Meng Han doesn't force them to do everything.
"Those who do not cooperate will be dismissed directly, and the cooperative person and his family can stay, this is the rule. After Meng Han finished instructing them to do their work, he also explained the rules to Grace and them, he didn't want the people brought by these mercenaries to be disobedient or even rebellious, that would not do any good.
After inspecting Huangsha Town, Meng Han returned to the Lord's Mansion, and everyone followed. In the first sentence, Meng Han asked Grace, "How many gold coins do we have now?"
"There were sixty-three more, and many silver and bronze coins. But now that the population is so large, we have to buy a lot of food, and this money, if we don't increase the number of people, is estimated to be able to use it until the end of the year. Grace now has a bit of a housekeeper's flavor, answers questions with accurate numbers, and has a budget and possible expenses in the content, which makes it clear to hear.
"Stretched. Meng Han nodded, and could only use this word to describe the current situation. Once upon a time, it was a huge amount of money to have one gold coin in the territory, but now, it is still poor to guard more than sixty gold coins. Meng Han had to sigh with emotion, and then made a decision: "It's really not good, I can only sell the batch of things of the elf clan." Although there are no proper scabbards, their value will be greatly affected. ”
While he was sighing, the elven brothers came together and told Meng Han that the elven clan had invited a master of the dwarf clan, and now they had rushed to the edge of the elven forest.
It took more than a month to do this, and it seems that the relationship between the dwarves and the elves is not necessarily very close. But in any case, the elven clan can invite dwarves, but Meng Han can't, this is the difference.
"Please!" Meng Han did not hesitate, and directly ordered, the elf brothers were about to run out, but Meng Han grabbed them: "I'll go personally." When he was sleepy, someone sent a large fragrant pillow, and Meng Han was a little suspicious that this was not intentional by the elves. To warn themselves that they know everything about their whereabouts?
"Grace, go call Edward and Brother Edwin. "When he was preparing to welcome the dwarven master, Meng Han did not forget to ask Grace to call the dwarven brothers.
At the edge of the Elven Forest, Jessica, the little witch of the Elven Clan, is with a dwarf with a large beard but no age. In addition, there are several very ornate wooden chests on the floor. The dwarf was very calm, sitting on a flat stump. But the little witch walked around anxiously, muttering incessantly, as if she was very impatient.
Meng Han and his party appeared in the field of vision from afar, and only came to the front when the little witch was restless and counted almost a thousand numbers.
As soon as she saw it, the little witch frowned and rushed forward with an arrow step to complain, "Why are you walking so slowly?"
"No way, poor, can't afford to buy a horse. Meng Han was already looking at the little witch now, and he already had an indescribable emotion, but he still teased on his lips: "Otherwise, give me a few unicorns of the elf clan, it will definitely be fast to ride!"
"Hmph!" The little witch snorted coldly, and was about to say something, but suddenly as if she remembered something, she swallowed the words she was about to say back into her stomach, with an unhappy face, looking at Meng Han and introducing coldly: "This is Mr. Howard, the master of the dwarf clan, you have to take good care of it!"
"Master Howard!" Hearing the little witch's introduction, Meng Han walked directly in front of the dwarf master, bowed slightly, and said very respectfully. The dwarf master's eyes opened a little, and when he saw Meng Han's attitude, he mumbled, closed it again, and didn't say anything. Meng Han didn't care about his coldness at all, he was still so respectful. Holding a six-pointed star magic ornament in both hands, he gave it to the dwarven master.
Seeing the obvious difference in attitude towards the two, the little witch was even more unhappy, snorted coldly, walked to the pile of wooden boxes, and kicked hard: "These are some medium magic materials, let you take them to practice." When we are proficient, we will naturally send high-grade materials over. ”
"Grace, is the number of points enough!" Meng Han didn't appreciate it, and directly called his housekeeper to come forward and count. This impolite approach made the little witch angry, but she firmly remembered the lesson of the last time and didn't dare to attack.
Meng Han looked at the hard work she endured, and immediately understood that the punishment of the little witch in the elder or collar last time was estimated to be heavy enough, otherwise, with her surname, she would never let Meng Han go so easily.
The task of the little witch is estimated to be to send people and things over, after saying that, the things are handed over, without saying a word, she turned around and entered the forest directly, as if she didn't want to stay with Meng Han, a nasty person, for even a minute.
"Master, please come here. Meng Han respectfully stretched out his hand to Master Howard to make a gesture of invitation, Howard opened his eyes, and he was not polite, and walked directly in front. Meng Han still respectfully followed behind, and as he walked, he introduced the current situation in Huangsha Town to Master Howard.
"Master, do you want us to build you a new house alone, or do you like to be lively and stay in a hotel?" After introducing Huangsha Town, Meng Han began to ask Master Howard.
"Arrange for me a separate place, preferably with the place where I work. Master Howard finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse, but it sounded full of energy, not like he was old.
"The master has come from afar, and it has been hard!" Meng Han said as he called the dwarf brothers over: "Master, this is the brothers Edward and Edwen, you are in Huangsha Town, and the two of them will serve you. If there's anything that's not worth doing, leave it to them, just ask. ”
"Oh?" Howard had already seen the dwarf brothers, but he hadn't asked, and now when he saw the two of them standing in front of him, with exactly the same faces, he immediately knew what was going on, and didn't say anything, just nodded.
"I don't know what kind of work environment you're used to, so I don't have anything to do with it, and I need your own guidance. Meng Han then began to play tricks: "You keep talking, just let their brothers help you prepare." "As long as Howard instructs the Edward brothers to work, they will naturally learn something.
"Why do you think I'm going to need something different?" Howard asked with sudden interest, "Our dwarven blacksmith craftsmanship can be seen even on the most ordinary furnace anvil." ”
"Because I need not only the skills that can be expressed, but the best craftsmanship. Meng Han answered the master's question with a smile, and at the same time, he didn't forget to praise Master Howard a little: "And I also know that the best master, no matter what he does, even if it is the simplest thing, will go all out, instead of perfunctory." ”
