Chapter 65 Return to Shanlin Town

Chapter 65 Return to Shanlin Town

In Shanlin Town, in the blacksmith Kales's blacksmith shop, four people gathered at this time - Chahar, the steward of Shanlin Castle, Kales and his son Bal, and Ram, the son of carpenter William.

After spending so many days, Kales has completed the forging of the plow shovel of the curved plow. At the same time, after reporting to Chahar, he invited Ram, William's son and carpenter apprentice, to come and help and complete the forging of the curved plow body.

Why didn't you find William, a carpenter with better skills?

William was really busy these days. Kales had tasks assigned by the lord, and William also had them.

And it was really hard work to operate black ironwood, which was much more difficult than processing other woods.

If it weren't for Chahar's coordination, William would not have been willing to let his son come to help Kales.

"Done!"

With excited shouts, Kales finally completed the assembly of the curved plow with the help of Ram.

The plow tip, plow bed, plow wall, plow shovel, plow beam, etc. are all available. Not to mention, if Ronin's drawings are used as a reference, Kales and Ram have a high degree of restoration of the curved plow.

"Hahaha~"

Kales laughed, walked to the side, picked up a jar of wine and took a sip, his cheeks flushed, "After so many days, I finally completed the task assigned by the lord!"

He was not only happy about this, but also happy that he made this plow.

Any craftsman, whether it is a blacksmith, carpenter or mason, looks at what he has completed as a work of art.

Not to mention that the curved plow is an unprecedented thing. Although it was created by the lord, he is the first person to make it by hand, which is enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

Baer and Ram can also brag about this for the rest of their lives. One of them is a blacksmith apprentice and the other is a carpenter apprentice. They actually participated in the production of such a high-end item. Just thinking about it makes them feel like living in a dream.

Chahar looked at the plow in front of him from left to right, up and down, his eyes shining, full of expectation.

"Well done, Kalus, I think the lord will definitely praise your craftsmanship when he sees this curved plow!"

He fiddled with the plow tip. This plow was much heavier than the light plows used in the farmland, and the structure was much more complicated.

"I wonder how it works, will it be more effective than the light plow?"

They trusted Ronin, but when faced with new things, they always had doubts in their hearts.

"How about we move out and find a cow to try it out?"

The two young apprentices were eager to try, and they only needed one to move the plow body and the other to move the yoke.

"No, no, no!"

Kalus quickly stopped the two young men's intentions, "You two little guys, don't mess around. If you break it, we won't have time to get a new one before the lord comes back."

The fire in the eyes of the two apprentices went out.

Indeed, although the plow body is made of ordinary wood, Ram is just an apprentice carpenter and his skills are not very solid. With the help of Bal, he spent many days to complete the plow body. If it is broken, I really don’t know how to explain it to the lord.

Chahar pondered for a while, "Calculate the time, the lord has been away from the territory for more than half a month, and it is almost time to return from the horse-herding city.

Although Luo Ning told Chahar that the time of departure might be longer before he left, he didn’t expect to be away for so long, which made him more and more anxious.

He has just taken on the position of butler. Although he has been very busy these days, he seems to have started a new life, and he is very happy in his heart.

If the lord suddenly died, it would be a painful thing.

"Let's not touch it for now."

Chahar decided: "When the lord comes back, we will show it to him, and maybe the lord will give us some suggestions for modification. "

"Mr. Butler is right! "

Kaler agreed very much: "It's better to wait for the Lord to take a look first."

Just then, a guard ran over quickly, "Mr. Butler, the Lord is back!"

"Back?"

Chahar was overjoyed, and his heart finally settled down, "Where is the Lord?"

"He's almost in town."

The guard replied: "The Lord asked us to notify you and the political officer to go over quickly, he has something to arrange."

"Okay, okay!"

Chahar ran out in a hurry, and turned back to remind Kaler, "You guys take a look first, and change what can be improved. I'll report to the Lord later, and see when he has time to take a look at the curved plow."

Kaler and the other two quickly agreed, and they were nervous.

The Lord is back, and he's going to inspect their results. Although the Lord is kind, if he's not satisfied, they'll be miserable.

"Come on, polish the plow body smoother! "

Kalles called out and continued to polish with two apprentices.

Let's not talk about what happened in the blacksmith shop. At this moment, Roning was slowly passing the boundary marker with the caravan and slaves and returning to the town.

The second time he came back, Roning felt like he was back home. This land belonged to him.

The team slowly walked through the simple and dilapidated Shanlin Street (the road that passes through the center of the town and leads directly to Shanlin Castle). The shop owners along the street, the occasional passing farmers and serfs recognized the lord this time and began to salute in the direction of Roning, while calling out "Lord".

More than half a month has passed, and the fact that Luo Ning is the lord of Shanlin Town has been known and accepted by all the residents.

Luo Ning was riding on a horse, with a friendly smile on his face as he greeted the people who saluted him, acting very friendly to the people.

The slaves following the team were shocked when they saw this scene. In their opinion, the nobleman who bought them seemed to be really respected by ordinary people.

No wonder, no wonder they are fed every day. Where can I find such a good noble lord?

Some slaves who have recovered a little ability to think even begin to self-hypnotize and work wholeheartedly for their masters.

Not long after, a figure jumped out from one side of the team, but it was Chahar running over.

"Master, you are finally back!"

Chahar said excitedly that to be honest, he was shocked when he saw so many people just now and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Long time no see, my butler."

Luo Ning smiled and greeted, "How is the situation in the castle?"

"Everything is fine in the castle. The squat toilet you told me before you left has been completely built!"

Chahar quickly replied, "Under David's protection, there are no problems in the castle. In addition, the curved shaft plow on Kales' side has been completed. Everything is going smoothly!"

While he was talking, Administrative Officer Wilson ran over on horseback, dismounted in front of Luo Ning and saluted respectfully, "Lord Luo Ning, welcome back!"

"Long time no see, Mr. Administrative Officer."

Luo Ning greeted equally kindly, "How have you been these days?"

"Don't worry, sir. I have already taken care of dividing the town into villages and groups. I can report to you at any time when it is convenient for you!"

"very good!"

Luo Ning praised him, and then pointed to the hundreds of slaves behind him,

"We will talk about the report later. These people are the slaves I bought from Muma City. Now I need you and Chahar to cooperate to settle them, provide food and shelter, and their information must also be registered. Just like the previous census.”

Wilson and Chahar glanced back and forth at this group of people who seemed to be in good condition. They did not expect that these people were slaves and their mental state was too good.

Chahar and Wilson bowed and said: "As you wish, sir!"

Sorry, the time is set for eight o'clock tomorrow night. Fortunately, I just saw it.
