Chapter 81 Specializing in the Production of Inferior Weapons
"You've heard that it's normal. They are all old acquaintances. The ancestors of the Koslow family also originated in northern Xinjiang, and they can be regarded as a middle-class noble with good strength.

It's just that they were on the wrong team back then and were unwilling to accept the kindness of the Lochnard family.In an orc invasion, he lost his ancestral land and lost his family fortune.

The current Koslow family in the kingdom was established by their remnants outside, and the biggest feature is their thriving population.

It may be that they were worried about the continued suppression of the Lochnard family. After the loss of their ancestral land, they changed the previous family gathering development model and embarked on a development path of scattered branches.

In many areas of the kingdom, there are their branches, and it is said that some branches have developed to other countries.

The current Koslow family is only a small family on the surface, but with the addition of many branches, its strength is not weaker than that of a middle-class noble.

The southeast province is considered to be the area where they have made a big bet, and there are more than a dozen lords, large and small.In the counties of Wright and Wyton alone, there are two baronets and two knights.

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

Knight Holman replied slowly.

The fearful expression in his tone is obviously opposed to conflict with the Koslow family.

Baron Kettley, who was on the side, also felt his scalp tingle.A large number of people does not necessarily mean great strength, but a large number of people must have many relatives and friends.

The nobles are a group that is good at huddling together, especially when facing foreign enemies, everyone is more used to huddling together to keep warm.

Fortunately, he didn't take the lead to ask for an explanation, otherwise it is still unknown who is being beaten now.

Originally, the opponent's strength was strong, but if a group of relatives and friends were to help out, Kettley would not be able to hold back.

Even if he wanted to be an enemy, he would have to pull a group of northern Xinjiang nobles to do it together. Unfortunately, he didn't have that prestige.At least those who have more prominent identities in the backstage will not buy it.

"I know Uncle Holman. I originally wanted to visit the famous mountain baron, but now it seems a bit inappropriate.

The most urgent task is to rescue the people who have been robbed and restore the vitality of the territory.By the way, ask for a sum of compensation to make up for our financial hole. "

Baron Kettley said calmly.

This is not cowardice, it is completely adapting to the situation.Although the Hudson Territory has the largest population and is the largest fat sheep nearby, this guy who looks like a sheep is actually a bear in disguise.

Persimmon is picky and soft, and if he is not sure of taking Hudson, he can only pick the weaker neighbor to start.

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

Accepting refugees is morally irreproachable, let alone a reason to stir up disputes.Doing things forcibly can easily attract the intervention of the Governor's Office.

"Kately, don't be in a hurry. Even if we do, we can't be the first to provoke a conflict, or there will be big troubles in the future.

It is best to send someone to inform first, if they are willing to send the person back, then it is best not to use force.

As outsiders, everything we say and do will be magnified.Taking the lead in provoking disputes can easily arouse the hostility of the local nobles.

In any case, this is the southeastern province, and the network resources that these local nobles can use are far more than ours.

Once caught by the enemy, it will be very detrimental to our future development.After all, the hostility is only temporary, and if you want to gain a real foothold here, you have to integrate into the local aristocratic circle after all. "

Knight Holman persuaded.

This nephew has behaved differently since he was a child, and he is completely outstanding among his peers.It's just that the special environment in northern Xinjiang forced him to restrain his edge so as not to arouse the fear of the five giants.

When the opportunity to go south presented itself, the high-level family did not hesitate at all, and decided to let Kettley jump out of the cage of the Northland.

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

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

It is estimated that some guys who are impatient have already gone to seek justice from him.As the most powerful baron among the nobles who went south from the north, he has always regarded himself as a leader.

At times like this, it's time for the leader to step in.Aristocrats who are evasive and lack of responsibility cannot convince everyone. "

Kettley said indifferently.

Obviously, he wasn't very convinced by the Baron Sith who overwhelmed him.If he had the same resources as the other party, Ketley believed that he would not be weaker than others.

It's a pity that there is no way. The name of an illegitimate child is really not good, but there are a lot of resources that can be obtained with a grand duke as my father.

……

Hudson, who did not know that he had escaped a storm, was busy selling assembly line operations to craftsmen in order to increase production capacity.Apprentices are not developing in an all-round way, and everyone only needs to learn one process.

Whether you like it or not, the lord's orders are still obeyed.Although many blacksmiths agreed that this model could not produce qualified blacksmiths, Hudson remained unmoved.

In an era when weapons and armor were all made by hand, the treatment of blacksmiths was not low, even if they were cultivated by noble lords, they would also be given courtesy.

In a 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 drinks. He can go to the tavern for a drink from time to time, and occasionally go to the entertainment venue to indulge.

There are not so many entertainment facilities in the countryside, but wine and meat can still be supplied. Among the bottom society, it can be regarded as the best wave.

The main reason for such 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, an apprentice blacksmith is a coolie.If you have a flexible mind, you can still learn a little bit; if you are not smart, you can only waste time.

Apprentices want to become blacksmiths, apart from working hard to steal the teacher, the most important thing is to figure it out on their own.Among them, a small number of talented apprentices can gradually become a blacksmith after countless attempts.

Hudson, who is well aware of the wisdom of the people at the bottom, has never had any illusions about cultivating qualified blacksmiths in batches.

Anyway, he doesn't need a casting master, as long as he can knock out the weapon.They are all equipped for ordinary soldiers, even if there is a little flaw, it will not hurt.

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

In front of Hudson, all the blacksmiths did not dare to hide their secrets.After all, they are all 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 working for a while, and they don't need to live in the Salam mining area all the time.

For a while, the sound of knocking and knocking kept ringing.Under Hudson's personal supervision, the first batch of assembly line weapons was released.

……

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

Look at these big swords, they are all of different weights and lengths, and even the blades are not up to standard, obviously something went wrong with the quenching.

Looking at these arrows again, each one is different in size, the place that should be thin is thicker, the place that should be thick is thinner, and the round hook has changed...

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

There are also these spearheads, made one by one..."

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

No matter how unqualified it is, it is still an iron weapon, which is much stronger than using bamboo or wooden sticks as weapons.

For the nobles who want to expand their armaments but don't have a lot of money, these cheap and inferior weapons are still very cost-effective.

If a high-quality weapon was produced, Hudson would not dare to sell it.How big a meal is there, and how big a bowl is served.

Large-scale weapons production is not only an economic issue, but also a strategic issue.

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

The Dalton family, which has a big family and a big business, will not take it seriously to make a little money by engaging in inferior weapons.After all, they can also make this thing, and they can't equip it to the elite troops, so they don't want to ruin their reputation for a little money.

But once high-quality weapons can be mass-produced, the situation will be completely different.It may not be so extreme to grab it directly and pay attention to Earl Pierce, who eats his face.

However, the proposed land exchange is a high-probability event. Hudson now has no confidence to reject the "goodwill" released by the boss of the southeastern province.

"Mr. Liha, just forge according to this standard. We are facing a low-end market, and the most important thing is to reduce production costs, and we don't need to pursue such high quality.

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

Pick out all qualified products, and package the rest after processing the appearance.After the inventory is sufficient to equip 5000 people, the news will be released. "
