Chapter 279 Resuming Production



At that time, his requirements were not high. He just hoped to have a high-level knight under his command so that he could deal with Baron Leisen of Swamp Town.

Now he not only has a sixth-level magician under his command, but also two silver knights, but he still feels that it is not enough.

Especially after seeing how difficult and powerful Amycus was, he felt more and more that the territory needed a meteor-level knight.

However, due to the upper limit of the panel, Redal and the other two cannot break through in advance. If they want Wu Beiling to reach the Meteor level, Roning himself must break through first.

On Carlos's back, Ronin consumed 1,510 attribute points, which greatly increased his strength.

[Level]: 5-Silver Knight (1500/1500); 5-Chief Magician (1586/2000)

He still lacked 414 attribute points to break through to the gold level, let alone break through to the meteor level.

Now, apart from signing in step by step, we can only hope to shorten the time required for breakthroughs through the achievement panel.

There are five achievements: fame throughout the world, King of Killing, prosperous population, conquering cities and territories, and good fortune. Now it is very difficult to complete the King of Killing.

Roning has never seen the Silver Moon Knight or the Mage, so where can he kill the eighth-level extraordinary unit?

What's more, it's not certain who will be killed if they meet.

So he could only work hard in the other four areas.

"Becoming a count..."

Luo Ning's mind moved. With the contribution he made this time, it shouldn't be a problem for him to ask Lu Lans to confer the title of Earl of a Marquisate, right?

After becoming an earl, his sign-in reward will be three times the basic one.

At that time, it only took one month to collect the 414 attribute points.

After adding points to himself, Roning prepared to consume his energy essence.

This time he accumulated a total of 3,000 energy essence points, which could greatly enhance the strength of McKen and the other two.

First, there was Ridal, whose level progress was at the silver level (1005/1500). This time, Roning directly invested 495 points and raised his strength to the gold level (0/2500).

In this way, Wubei Territory now has two level six transcendents.

The second was McKen. Roning invested 400 points and raised his level to the middle of silver (500/1500), giving him a place in the silver stage.

Ronin poured the last 2065 points of energy into Elrond, bringing the latter's level to that of a magician (2067/3500).

Anyway, it would take Roning a lot of time to break through to the Meteor level, so there was no need for him to quickly max out Elron's level progress. After all, the other party could also practice on his own.

Of the four followers who could be equipped with points, only Carlos had a little energy left.

It’s not that Roning doesn’t think highly of Carlos, it’s just that his experience bar is too long.

Whenever he saw the string of numbers (17/12500), Roning couldn't muster the energy to give the other party any help.

After returning to Chishan Town, Luo Ning began to prepare for what to do next.

As for the Chishan Iron Mine, Toru, Marvin and other nobles had no idea what was going on, as it had obviously fallen into Ronin's hands.

As for the share of the iron ore...

During the conversation in Wushan Castle, Wiggins said he wanted 30% of the iron ore, and if Roning did nothing every year, he would have to give him 6,000 gold coins.

At that time, Roning thought that 30% was a bit high, but considering that he was purely sightseeing, improving his qualifications and presence in this war, he could still consider sharing the profits from the iron ore with Wiggins.

But now, the war was won because of him, and it was because of him that Wushanbao was saved from a serious disaster.

With such military achievements, it would be no problem for Roning to ask Lulans for the enclave of Chishan Town, and he did not need Wiggins to make any unnecessary persuasion or suggestions.

Since Chishan Town has already been regarded as one's own territory in advance, it is very important to restore the production capacity of the iron mine.

War often causes the subjects to flee the territory.

However, due to the timely blockade by McKen and others, not many residents of Casir Town and Chishan Town escaped.

After Roning had his men spread the word about his identity and benevolent policies, and distributed black bread in the town, people's hearts became more stable, and fewer people wanted to escape.

After all, unless they really can't survive, who would want to flee their home?

After stabilizing people's hearts, Roning began to recruit miners.

Based on the principle of "making use of old people", Roning selected people with mining experience, offered them a reward of three copper coins a day and took care of their food and drink. Soon, they had gathered the previous mining scale - 150 people.

In addition, Roning also recruited a total of 130 people for jobs such as handling and processing. Food and drink were also provided, but the salary was only two copper coins per day.

Although it sounds a bit harsh, compared to Corian and Amycus who either paid too little or gave no money and did not allow them to eat enough, Ronin's arrangement not only did no one object, but quite a few people signed up.

There is not much arable land in Kasir Town and Chishan Town, and many families rely on the Chishan Iron Mine for their livelihood. As long as the mine owners can provide them with food and allow them to support their families, they don't mind a little hardship.

In order to stimulate the workers' enthusiasm for work, Luo Ning used the old tricks he used in Wubei.

The mining weight is counted every month, and the top three will be rewarded with money and food. Those who rank last for three consecutive months will be dismissed.

I believe that with this incentive, once some people taste the benefits, their enthusiasm will definitely increase.

In addition to resuming iron ore production, there were several other things that Luo Ning had to deal with.

The first was the spoils of war. The Polante bandit group was completely wiped out, and the weapons, armor, war horses, etc. left behind were all considered spoils of war. The logistics personnel of the noble coalition were counting these things, and Ronin needed to distribute them; secondly, he asked McKen to lead people to recruit craftsmen in the Giant Stone Territory, Red Mountain Town, Casir Town, and even the later Quicksand Town and Shore City.

Whether it was a blacksmith, carpenter or bricklayer, as long as they had skills, he recruited them all.

If they are willing to follow him to develop in Wubei Territory, in addition to giving them considerable remuneration, Wubei Territory's policy of attracting foreign population will also be applicable to them.

Despite the enclave of Chishan Town, Wubei Territory is Luo Ning's rear base.

Only when the rear is stable can we output without worries in the future.

As for Chishan Town, let’s just treat it as a production base for now.

When he has free time, Roning considers moving Kalles and others from Wubei Territory to Chishan Town, building a blast furnace on site and processing weapons and farm tools, which can be sold to the outside after satisfying their own needs.

The skills of selling iron ore are still a bit low. If you process iron ore into products and sell them, the profit will be much higher.

In the future, an iron processing factory will appear here.

"Sir, there is a craftsman named Feng Si who wants to see you."

David came in and reported: "He hopes to be of service to you, but he wants to ask you for a favor."

Craftsman?

Luo Ning's eyes lit up: "What's your profession?"

"It's the blacksmith."

David said: "According to him, he can make high-quality knight swords and armor."

This is a rare talent.

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Bring him to see me!" (End of this chapter)
