On the balcony of the castle, Goodern watched the torches of Els and the others disappear from view before returning to the house to take a hot bath to relieve fatigue.

Finding 'veins' at night is not an easy task.

But if we can find it for sure, it will be even more exciting to boost the enthusiasm of the residents at tomorrow's reward meeting.

After all, giving money to one person alone and paying money to two people have different meanings.

Under the soothing of the hot water, the fatigue caused by the bumps in the road is relieved a lot.

After feeling much more relaxed, Goodern came out to deal with the other things that had been piled up in the past two days.

In the name of a work inspection, Goodern took a look at the maids and guards up and down the castle.

One maid was selected to give her the modifier 'Culinary Mastery', and the remaining two were given to two soldiers.

Bring the number of Super Soldiers to six.

The Goodern Project envisages the development of two different units, a conventional unit that uses modern weapons, and a super-soldier modified from the entry.

In this way, no matter what kind of situation he encounters, he has the methods and means to deal with it.

After the brainwashing was completed, Goodern briefly arranged his plans for the next part of the mine, and then returned to his soft bed to rest.

……

Early the next morning, Els, who had gone out in search of a rock salt mine, returned with good news.

"Young master, the ore you mentioned has been found, and in a depression six kilometers west of Qingyuan Town, the gold coins have been handed over to the discoverer as a reward."

Good news early in the morning, Goodern was in a very good mood at the moment.

"Very well, you go and have a good rest, and I'll ask the kitchen to get you something delicious in the evening."

"Yes! Thank you, young master! Els' eyes lit up when he heard that there was something delicious.

He'd heard that the young master had made some special food before, and the taste was very attractive, maybe he could come and try it tonight?

After retreating from Els, Goodern immediately drew some men and took two wagons of iron ore to the blacksmith's shop.

The refining of iron ore still has to be handled by the blacksmith shop.

However, each time the minerals were handed over to the blacksmith's shop, which was a bit inconvenient for him.

Gooden had the idea of buying it before, but unfortunately he didn't have the money, and now that he has the money, he plans to directly arrange this action in advance.

After a brief casual conversation with Buck, Goodern suddenly asked.

"Buck, what do you think of the manganese ingots?"

Without hesitation, Buck replied, "I've seen ...... in metal."

But looking at Gooden's smiling expression, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and his open mouth did not make a sound.

The forging process of manganese steel is watched by special personnel, and after the forging is completed, it is directly sent to the castle for storage, and will not be left in the blacksmith shop for him to test.

And the lord didn't tell him about the performance, so how did he know?

The answer is now clear......

"Lord Lord, I was wrong, this is my mistake, I shouldn't have stolen the materials to refine ......"

Buck knelt down in an instant and quickly pleaded.

The apprentices on the side were also a little stunned by this scene, didn't the two of them have a good chat just now?

Why is it suddenly like the lord is going to kill the master......

"Get up, I didn't say what to do, I just asked you, why did you make such a big fuss."

Gooden was also a little puzzled, he would soon ask the other party, why did he look like he was going to be beheaded.

Stealing and refining manganese ingots, Goodern could surely guess, after all, it was a new and unknown metal, and what blacksmith could resist the temptation not to try it himself?

"Lord, have you forgiven me?"

Buck asked cautiously, while Goodern pursed his lips and said casually.

"Whether you forgive or not depends on your attitude, get up and talk about it."

As soon as he heard that he still had a chance, Buck quickly got up and bent down slightly, looking like he was following Goodern's orders.

"Again, how do you feel about manganese ingots?"

"It's very strong, and among the metals I've seen, manganese steel can be ranked in the top ten."

Buck was also shocked by the performance of manganese steel during the test.

At the same time, the thought that it must not be exposed, such a strong metal, the lord directly handed it over to him to smelt and forge.

And also told him the formula ratio, if this thing leaked the news, he must be the first person to hit the ground.

"And how much does your blacksmith shop earn each month? How much do apprentices get paid? ”

After listening briefly to the answers, Goodern casually asked a few more questions.

For Gooden's question, Buck answered it truthfully at the moment, after all, now the handle is in the hands of others, and he has a reason to click on himself.

"Hmm...... Buck, now I'll give you two options. ”

Hearing this, Buck shuddered, ready to quietly listen to the lord's arrangements for him.

"The first option is that the blacksmith shop will be co-opted and reorganized into a new organization, or will you be the leader."

"This agency will not be accountable to the residents, and your income will be paid directly by me."

"The first one, I'll pick the first one!" Buck didn't wait for Goodern to say the second option, and hurriedly spoke.

“？ It's true? Don't listen to the second option? Goodern asked, somewhat confused.

"It's the first choice, don't change it, Young Master Gooden!" Buck also directly and shamelessly called the young master at this time.

This is a title that only retainers can have, and it is also a form of allegiance.

"Okay then......" Gooden was a little regretful, it seemed that his charm was quite great, and he didn't need to use the temptation of modern metal to seduce the other party.

"Eh, young master, let me ask, just ask, what is the second choice?"

Looking at Goodern's regretful face, Buck seemed to find that he seemed to have fallen into a pit, and asked with a little caution.

Goodern replied with some nonchalant.

"Oh, it's just that you and your apprentice's family are not allowed to leave Qingyuan Town for a year."

Barker: "That's it?! ”

Goodern: "Well, that's it. ”

Barker: "*&*&#@"

Listening to the other party's unexplained language, Gooden shook his head.

"Do a good job, I'll have someone send you a copy of the establishment later."

"There will be a lot of information about your salary and mission requirements, and now your first task is to smelt all the iron ore from this car."

"Okay young master."

For the now irretrievable situation, Buck sighed secretly in his heart.

Gooden saw that the other party was unwilling, but at least he smiled and didn't say anything, and when the outline of the plan was handed over to the other party, this attitude might change.

After all, he didn't believe that the man would refuse the romance of steel!

After finishing the blacksmith's shop, Goodern went straight to the brick kiln.
