"It's normal you've heard of it, it's all old acquaintances. The ancestors of the Coslow family also originated in northern Xinjiang, and they are a middle-class nobleman with good strength.

It's just that they were on the wrong side back then, and they were unwilling to accept the goodwill of the Lockonard family. In an orc invasion, he lost his ancestral land and lost his family inheritance.

The Coslow family in the kingdom is now established by the remnants of their foreign elements, and the most important feature is that the people are thriving.

Probably worried about the continued suppression of the Locknard family, after the loss of their ancestral land, they changed the previous family agglomeration and development model, and since then embarked on the development path of scattered branches.

In many parts of the kingdom, there are branches, and some branches are said to have spread to other countries.

The current Coslow family is only a small family on the surface, but the strength of many branches is not weaker than that of a middle-class nobleman.

The southeastern province is considered the area where they have made a heavy bet, and there are more than a dozen lords large and small. In Wright and Wyton alone, there are two baronies and two knights.

What is the specific strength, it is difficult to find out for a while. However, this mountain baron should be the strongest branch of the two counties. ”

Knight Holman replied slowly.

The fear in his tone was clearly against conflict with the Coslow family.

Baron Caitley on the side also felt numb when he heard it. A large number of people does not necessarily have great strength, but a large number of people must have more relatives and friends.

Aristocrats are a group that is good at huddles, especially when facing foreign enemies, everyone is more accustomed to huddles for warmth.

Fortunately, he did not take the liberty to lead troops over to ask for an explanation, otherwise it is still unknown who will be beaten now.

Originally, the strength of the other party was strong, and if he pulled a group of relatives and friends to help, Ketteley would not be able to parry.

Even if he wants to be an enemy, he has to pull a group of northern nobles to do it together, but unfortunately he doesn't have that prestige. At the very least, those who have more prominent backgrounds will not buy it.

"I know Uncle Holman. I had thought of visiting the famous mountain baron, but now it seemed a little inappropriate.

The top priority is to rescue the people who were robbed of them and restore the vitality of the territory. By the way, we are asking for a compensation to make up for our financial hole. ”

Baron Caitley said calmly.

It's not cowardice, it's all improvisation. Although Hudson's Territory is now the most populous and the largest fat sheep in the vicinity, this guy who looks like a sheep is a bear in disguise.

Persimmon picks a soft pinch, and if you are not sure to take Hudson, you can only pick a weaker neighbor.

What's more, even if he wanted to find Hudson's bad luck, the reason in his hands was not sufficient. It is normal for noble lords to attack each other, but the reason for the fight must be sufficient.

Accepting refugees is morally impeachable, much less a reason to stir up strife. Forcibly doing things can easily attract the interference of the Governor's Palace.

"Caitley, don't rush your head. Even if we want to do it, we can't be the first to provoke conflict, otherwise there will be big trouble in the future.

It's better to send someone over and let them know first, and if they're willing to send someone back, then it's best not to use force.

As outsiders, our words and actions are amplified. Taking the lead in provoking strife can easily arouse the hostility of the local aristocracy.

In any case, this is the southeastern province, and these local nobles have far more connections and resources than us.

Once the enemy catches the handle, it will be very detrimental to our future development. After all, hostility is only temporary, and if you want to really gain a foothold here, you still have to integrate into the local aristocratic circle. ”

Knight Holman persuaded.

This nephew has behaved differently since he was a child, and he can be regarded as completely outstanding among his peers. It's just that the special environment in northern Xinjiang makes him have to rein in his edge, so as not to arouse the jealousy of the five giants.

The opportunity to go south appeared, and without the slightest hesitation, the family leaders decisively chose to let Caitley jump out of the cage of the Northland.

Maybe this road is still difficult, but at least there is hope for further progress, which is better than relying on the five giants in the Northland.

"Don't worry, Uncle Holman. This kind of showmanship is better left to our Sith Baron.

It is estimated that some guys who can't hold their breath have now gone to him to administer justice. As the strongest baron among the nobles of the Northland and the South, he has always regarded himself as a leader.

Now it's time to take the lead. The aristocracy who is evasive and lacks responsibility cannot convince everyone. ”

Caitley said indifferently.

Obviously, he was not very convinced by the Sith Baron, who had pressed him. If he has the same resources as the other party, Ketteley thinks that he will not be weaker than others.

It's a pity that there is no way, the name of the illegitimate child is really not good, but there is a grand duke as Lao Tzu, and the resources he can get are really a lot.

……

Hudson, who didn't know how to escape a storm, was busy selling assembly line work to craftsmen in order to increase production capacity. Apprentices are not fully developed, each person only needs to learn one process.

Regardless of whether he was willing or not, the lord's orders were still obeyed. Although many blacksmiths unanimously said that this model did not produce qualified blacksmiths, Hudson remained unmoved.

In the era when weapons and armor were all knocked out by hand, the treatment of blacksmiths was not low, even if it was cultivated by the noble lords themselves, they would also give courtesy.

In the big city, in addition to ensuring that the family has no worries about food and clothing, the blacksmith can also have a little money for wine, and can go to the tavern from time to time to have a drink, and occasionally go to the party to indulge.

There are not so many entertainment facilities in the countryside, but wine and meat can still be supplied, which is the best mixed wave in the bottom society.

The main reason for such a good treatment is scarcity. In order to maintain this scarcity, the small group of blacksmiths has always retained the most primitive father-son inheritance system.

In this context, the blacksmith apprentice is the coolie. If you have a flexible brain, you can also learn a little bit along with it; If you don't have a good head, you're just wasting your time.

If an apprentice wants to become a blacksmith, in addition to trying to steal the master, the most important thing is to rely on his own thinking. A small number of talented apprentices were able to slowly become blacksmiths after countless attempts.

Hudson, who knew the wisdom of the people at the bottom, had never had any illusions about training qualified blacksmiths in batches.

Anyway, he doesn't need a master caster, as long as he can knock out the weapon. It's all for ordinary soldiers, and even if there is a little flaw, it doesn't hurt.

After dismantling the forging process, the apprentices were divided into groups according to their actual needs, and each group was supervised and supervised by a blacksmith.

In front of Hudson, the blacksmiths did not dare to hide their secrets. After all, they are just learning a process, and they can't shake their status.

The most important thing is that they are all on loan, and they still have to go back after this busy time, and they don't need to beg for a living in the Salam mining area all the time.

For a while, the sound of banging and banging was non-stop. Under Hudson's personal supervision, the first batch of assembly line operation weapons was grandly released.

……

"Lord Baron, these weapons are basically unqualified, most of them have fatal flaws, and it is difficult to sell them for a good price in the market.

Look at these big swords, the weight and length are different, and even the blades are not qualified, obviously quenching has gone wrong.

Looking at these arrows again, they are of different sizes, the places that should be thin are thicker, the places that should be thick are thinner, and the swirling hooks have changed......

If it is processed into arrows, it will inevitably affect the range and accuracy of the bow and arrow, and the penetration and lethality will also be greatly reduced.

And these spearheads, one by one, they are ......"

Looking at the weapons in front of him that were sprayed bloodied by the old blacksmith, Hudson was not angry but happy. It's not for your own army, so why pay attention to quality!

No matter how unqualified it is, it is also an iron weapon, which is far stronger than holding bamboo and wooden sticks as weapons.

For aristocrats who want to expand their armaments and are not very wealthy, these cheap and inferior weapons are still very cost-effective.

If he had come up with a high-quality weapon, Hudson would not have dared to sell it. How big the rice is, how big the bowl is.

Large-scale arms production is not just an economic issue, but also a strategic one.

Due to the lack of resources, even the Dalton family can only produce weapons on a small scale.

Engaging in inferior weapons to make a little money, the Dalton family, who have a big family, will not take it seriously. After all, they can make this thing, and they can't equip it to elite troops, so they can't ruin their reputation for a little money.

But once high-quality weapons can be mass-produced, the situation is completely different. Grab it directly, pay attention to the appearance of Earl Pierce, maybe not so extreme.

But the proposal to exchange land is a high probability event, and Hudson now has no confidence to refuse the "goodwill" released by the boss of the southeast province.

"Mr. Riha, just forge it to this standard. We are facing a low-end market, and the most important thing is to reduce production costs, and there is no need to pursue such high quality.

Although the defective rate is a little higher, there are still a small number of qualified products, which can be regarded as a surprise.

Pick out all the qualified products, and deal with the appearance of the rest, and then encapsulate them. After the stock is enough to equip 5,000 people, the news will be released to the public. ”
