The next day, York led a group of people to mine stone, Xu Kuang needed to refine steel, and he needed a blacksmith shop, all of which required a lot of stone, and he also needed to make some aerial waterways and some canals to connect to the fields.

Xu Kuang, on the other hand, sat in the room, preparing to sign in today.

"Cuihua, check in.".

"Sign in successfully and get the item 'Ordinary Lathe'!".

Xu Kuang looked at this ordinary lathe, stunned for a while, and was speechless for a long time.

In his current situation, there is not much point in having a lathe, and even if he is given a lathe now, he will not be able to make a modern firearm.

Mainly because the properties of the metals here are not up to standard, he also needs to further refine various metals, as well as research alloys suitable for various situations.

Another reason is that if you want to make a gun, the machine you need is definitely not just a lathe, a qualified firearms production line must at least need a series of production lines such as turning, milling, grinding and stamping, and more than a dozen machines can cooperate with each other.

And Xu Kuang doesn't know how to do it, so if he wants to achieve mass production of firearms, he must train a group of talents, which will be a long-term plan.

Suddenly, Xu Kuang's mind was excited, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, although the strength of the metal here could not meet the requirements in a short period of time, he could make up for this deficiency through the alchemy array.

Coupled with the fact that the preparation of gunpowder was not difficult, and he was familiar with the construction of various types of weapons and ammunition, in this way, he could equip his team with automatic firearms and large-caliber artillery in a short time.

Xu Kuang was secretly annoyed, he had never been in contact with a real alchemy priest, and he had very little understanding of the various professions in this world, so he underestimated the local professions, but now it seemed that he really valued them.

Xu Kuang understands that there are hundreds of parts for a gun, and there are more than a dozen parts for less, and not all parts have high requirements for metal performance.

……

Mushroom Ridge posted a notice again, this time the notice said that the lord of Mushroom Ridge needs some literate people, steady hands, and people who can read rulers, and they can also receive a hundred catties of food every month.

For a while, everyone realized the benefits of being on the Yellow Book, and everyone began to take active action.

And Xu Kuang also successfully recruited five people who met the requirements.

Xu Kuang took out five vernier calipers and five sets of ruler tools.

Xu Kuang said to the five people:

"This month, you and I will learn how to use these ruler tools, and if you can learn all these tools within a month, then you can receive another twenty catties of food every month."

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

Xu Kuang led the crowd to learn how to draw rulers and gauges, and at the same time, he also took this opportunity to draw a complete set of design drawings for the plant.

……

A week later.

There were ten gilded self-striking bells in front of Xu Kuang, he looked at the old butler in front of him and asked:

"Old butler, are you sure you want to take all ten of them?"

The old housekeeper nodded with a wry smile, and he said to Xu Kuang:

"I originally thought that this chiming bell was not easy to sell, but who knew that after those lords went to Baron Chris and saw the chiming bell, they came to our lord's mansion to buy it, and they couldn't stop it."

Xu Kuang nodded with a wry smile, and he asked:

"So how many chimes do I have missing?"

"This batch of orders is a total of eighteen units, but I estimate that the follow-up orders are also on the way, and you estimate that you will have to do a hundred units before you can take a break."

Xu Kuang nodded with a wry smile, and he said to the old housekeeper:

"Got it, I won't keep you, Grandpa Lane, and help me deliver the old butler."

"Cuihua, breakthrough!".

A warm current moistened Xu Kuang's tired body, and Xu Kuang's body immediately became different.

Xu Kuang still chose to add that little bit of free attribute points to his physique.

Xu Kuang took a look at his attribute panel:

Host: [Xu Kuang]

Xu Kuang looked at the more than 7,000 gold coins in the attribute bar, and sighed secretly:

"Sure enough, only high-tech has a high threshold, and only a high threshold can have high profits, and I have earned half of my father's belongings in just one month."

After Ryan returned, Xu Kuang said to Ryan:

"In the future, my territory will set up a public and private warehouse system, which cannot be confused. The public treasury is mainly the rent and taxes collected, and the private treasury is mainly the money I sell from the chiming clock and my various properties. ”。

Although Ryan knew a little about it, he also knew that this kind of account could not be mixed.

"Young master, I have a question, if you do this, won't the money in the private treasury be much more than in the public treasury?"

Xu Kuang smiled, and he patiently explained to Ryan:

"No, when there are more people and productivity increases, I will only collect more rent and taxes. By the way, I will allocate a thousand gold coins from my private treasury, and I will build the dam. ”。

Ryan nodded and turned to leave.

The next day, Xu Kuang took York to the top of the ridge.

With the river as the center, he drew a circular boundary with a diameter of one kilometer.

York has now become an old contractor, and he said to Xu Kuang with a crying face:

"Young master, for such a long and thick dam, a thousand gold coins may not be enough, and the technology may not meet the requirements."

Xu Kuang laughed and said:

"This is only the first phase of the funds, the second phase of the funds is already on the way, you can rest assured, as for the technical issues, you don't have to worry, I will prepare for you, this first phase you just plan the land first, prepare the materials, and the rest will wait for the second phase of the funds to arrive."

York, the foreman of the contract, was relieved.

Fortunately, more and more people come to Xu Kuang, but there is no need to worry about the lack of labor.

……

The six lords gathered together, and they stood in the woods opposite the Mushroom Ridge, looking at the long dragon with some fascination.

"Something is wrong, why is there so many people in this guy? Where did he get so much food? ”。

"I don't know, it may be that Xu Yun left a treasure for this kid."

"So what do we do now?".

"Wait, wait until he can't hold it anymore."

"Okay, Wren, I'll go to your place and see your Rausch chiming bell ......."

As soon as they heard the chiming bell, several people became interested and spoke one after another:

"I'll go too.".

"Go together, go together."

……

Looking at the enthusiastic appearance of this group of nobles, Xu Kuang may never be unable to hold on......
