Hillwood Town.

In the past two days, Luo Ning has held a mobilization meeting for the craftsmen who came from Shanlin Town to let them understand their respective division of labor.

Blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices were busy making plowshares and farm tools, and during this time they also had to guide bricklayers to build new blacksmith shops; some carpenters were assigned to make the plow bodies of curved plows, while some were put into iron and wood workshops to begin completing orders from Wushanbao; bricklayers were involved in the construction of new houses, and so on.

At the same time, in order to ensure that his subjects could safely spend the winter, Luo Ning allowed all the subjects in the town to cut down trees along the Shanlin Town to the south, Qingzhu Village to the north, and the Tiemulin area.

All branches, trunks and even leaves obtained belong to the cutter, and it is no longer necessary to purchase the cutting rights from the lord as before.

For a time, the entire Shanlin Town entered an era of large-scale construction.

"Sir, I visited Kallus's blacksmith shop these past two days and found the bellows you designed very interesting."

The craftsman Dan followed behind Ronin and walked through the outer castle of Hillfort, not knowing where Ronin was going to take him.

But this is not important. He studied the bellows yesterday. Although the structure is simple, the design is very ingenious. He became more and more curious about Roning. This young nobleman is very thoughtful!

“Those are just gadgets.”

Although Luo Ning said this, he was still a little proud in his heart. After all, this thing was entirely made by him.

"Mr. Dahn, what I want you to do for me today is extremely difficult, but if you do it well, it will definitely be unprecedented progress!"

Luo Ning turned around and looked at the other person, emphasizing: "If you can really make it, it won't be an exaggeration for outsiders to call you a great craftsman."

Dan was completely attracted by the title of "Master Craftsman". He had no other pursuits in his life, and this was the only thing left.

Hearing Roning speak so powerfully, he became anxious like an ant on a hot pan and really wanted to know what Roning needed him to do.

However, he remained calm and not impatient.

"Sir, please don't be so polite to me. I am just like those craftsmen. I came to Shanlin Town to serve you. Please tell me if you have any arrangements or requests. I will do my best!"

The two talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at a house on the inner west side of the fort.

This is where Tom's mother, Mrs. Leah, lives and works in a tailor shop.

The three tailor apprentices from Wushan City were arranged here.

"My Lord, you are here!"

Leah saw him from a distance and came out to greet him, feeling a little awkward. She knew her son was not dead, but had transformed into Tom and stayed with the lord.

Although the mother and son were very worried about Ronin's attitude at the beginning and lived in anxiety every day, after Tom was arranged to become a regular employee when he returned from the Horse Herding City last time, their worries were completely transformed into respect and gratitude for the lord.

So Leah took Roning's instructions very seriously.

"Mrs. Leah, how are you preparing the cocoon I gave you before I left last time?"

When Luo Ning left Shanlin Town for Wushanbao last month, he gave the hand-cranked spinning wheel and several large baskets of silk cocoons to Leah, and taught her how to reel silk and open cotton.

"My lord, it's done!"

As Leah spoke, she took Roning into the inner room, and Roning motioned for Daen to follow.

When they came into the house, Leah took out several dozen silk threads that had been spun. "Sir, these are the silk threads made according to the method you provided."

"This is?"

Master Craftsman Daen's eyes widened as he looked in disbelief at the large circle of silk thread that Roning took from his hand.

“Is this wool?”

He subconsciously thought so, but quickly shook his head, "No, this is not wool! Wool is not this fine, and it can't be this white and bright!"

Dan looked at Roning with puzzled eyes, he really wanted to know the answer.

Luo Ning held the thread in front of his eyes and observed it carefully. After a while, he nodded and said, "Liya, you are indeed the most famous tailor in town. You are meticulous and skillful. I am very satisfied with this thread!"

The tailors here not only cut and make clothes, but also make linen, weave wool, dye and other work, so Roning handed the silk matter over to Leah.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

Roning turned to Daen holding the silk thread, and the latter straightened up, looking as if he was listening attentively.

"Master Daen, this is a special kind of silk thread I discovered. Please keep it a secret for me until it is made public."

Daan was shocked. This young lord became even more mysterious.

"Please rest assured, sir, I will never say a single word to anyone!"

"We currently use either a heavy hammer loom or a waist loom for weaving, but both are too inefficient for me. What I need you to do now is to design a loom that can greatly improve the efficiency of weaving!"

Huh? Dan was a little surprised. He never thought that Roning had asked him to come here for this matter.

"A loom?"

He hesitated a little, "Sir, what exactly is this loom you are talking about?"

Dan was a little confused at this time. He had no idea about this.

"Weaving is the interweaving of the longitudinal and horizontal threads to create fabric, whether it is a hammer loom, a waist loom, or the loom I mentioned."

Luo Ning began to explain, "But the cloth woven by the first two is relatively coarse, especially the heavy hammer loom. We cannot use it to weave fine silk threads like silk."

"You can ask Leah to take you to take a closer look at the working principle of the waist loom later. The loom I want is to use a frame to prop up the wooden stick of the waist loom, and use the foot to step on the pedal to open the vertical thread, so that the weavers only need to focus on threading and tying the horizontal threads."

"In this way, the work efficiency of weavers can be improved. At the same time, due to the control of the machinery, the fineness of the weaving and the quality of the fabric will also be greatly improved."

Daen was a well-known craftsman after all, but as he listened to Roning's story, panic flashed in his eyes.

Only now did he understand why Roning had just said that if he could make this thing, he might become a great craftsman.

"My Lord, please forgive my clumsiness. I was unable to understand what you were saying for a moment... for a moment."

Roning scratched his head and took out the loom pattern he had tried to draw.

It’s a pity that this thing is too complicated, not as simple as a bellows, and he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he can only draw a side view, and only a rough outline.

"Look, this is a pedal. The weaver only needs to step on it to make the vertical threads interlaced up and down. This is the reed used to pull the vertical threads. The gauze I'm talking about is based on 800 reeds, each reed has four threads, and there are 3,200 vertical threads in total..."

This story took half a day, and during the story Mrs. Leah even brought Roning a glass of water.

The more Dan listened, the more confused his brain became. The more cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His brain had taken in too much information today and it was already starting to ache.

Fortunately, after this story, he roughly knew what the lord wanted to do.

At least he could understand the shape of the shelf.

"Sir, you are a genius!"

After listening to the story, Daen wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but praise.

Roning handed the parchment to the other party and said, "It's a pity that I can only come up with a rough idea. You are the one who really has to design it."

Daan took the parchment solemnly, put it carefully in his arms, and fighting spirit burned in his eyes.

"Please give me some time, sir. I will first learn the working principle of the waist loom from Mrs. Leah, and then study the loom you mentioned."

Luo Ning nodded and patted the other person's shoulder solemnly. "I believe in your ability, Master Daen. I hope that in the near future, Shanlin Town will have such a loom!"

Daen felt heavy in his heart, but he still hummed heavily.

It turned out that coming to Shanlin Town was the right decision, he finally found his target!

"Mrs. Leah, I also have something to give you."

"It is a pleasure to be of service to you, sir." Leah listened carefully.

Luo Ning said: "Although the waist loom is inefficient, it can still be used to weave silk. I need you to use these silk threads to weave a scarf for me."

"The last day of next month is Marquis Rulans' birthday, and I want to use this scarf as a gift."

When Leah heard the first sentence, she felt pressured. It was the first time she had come into contact with silk thread and it was difficult to control.

When she heard the last sentence, she felt tremendous pressure.

Oh my god, she actually wanted to knit a scarf for the Marquis! "Sir, I'm worried..."

Luo Ning comforted him, "Don't worry, just do your best. Even if it's not finished by then, I'll prepare another gift."

Lu Lans was very kind to Luo Ning, so it was his birthday so Luo Ning naturally couldn't go there empty-handed.

A scarf made of silk was just one of his gifts. He also had other preparations, such as a coat made from the skin of a storm wolf.

The fur of a level 4 monster is also a precious material, and it is not a loss of face to give it away.
