Chapter 14: Paper to Iron, Glue to Welding, Very Cruel

Ryan didn't sleep well all night, his head was filled with the sound of dark gray howling wind, and the transformation circle connecting him and Little John seemed to be changing.

There seemed to be a vaguely agile Yajituo wearing dark blue armor looking at him.

Is it Yajituo who has a storm attribute?

Little John's fever subsided quickly, as if the strong wind that did not exist in the real world cooled the temperature of reality.

"S-Sir, what's wrong with me?"

Little John woke up and looked at Ryan who looked miserable after staying up all night, and recognized that this was the big brother who saved him that night.

But later I heard from the adults that this eldest brother seemed to be a fugitive from heresy, and somehow he became the man in charge of building canals in the city.

For this small village, the remote villages and towns that Bryce originally governed can already be regarded as cities.

It's a pity that the Lord's investigation of the plague zombies started here. This small village is also close to the river and there is no need to worry about water problems, so it is not included in the scope of building canals.

However, Ryan is already considering including this place under his jurisdiction. As the front end of the Agate River connecting to the river abyss, it would be a good thing if a solid city wall could be built. The scene of the tide of corpses hitting the high wall of the fortress will always make people sad. Human beings feel their hearts trembling, and there is a sense of uncontrollable excitement and fear mixed together.

The most important thing is that in Ryan's previous life, the price of land near the estuary will always increase (crossed out).

"It's nothing, your body has just undergone some small changes, and you will become as powerful as me. But this ability is used to help the weak and protect people's happiness and smiles."

Ryan touched Little John's head and asked, "I want to accept you as a student, are you willing? I will be your teacher from now on."

Little John asked in a daze: "Sir, am I going to be your retinue? Can I see my family again?"

Ryan shook his head and said, "We will leave here in two days, but you can go home at any time when you complete your study tasks. You can say goodbye to your parents and friends first, and I will come back and take you away in two days."

Little John nodded obediently. In his memory, even just becoming a knight's retinue was enough for his family to have food and drink for a year. This man was even more powerful than the knight, so their family didn't have to worry about food. When encountering natural or man-made disasters, we have to scrimp on food and clothing.

This concept has been circulated among common people since ancient times. After all, although knights are the lowest level of nobles, they are also the upper class and can no longer engage in agricultural production.

At this time, little John still doesn't understand what interesting things will happen in the future due to this choice. He just wants to keep his family full.

Ryan calmed the child's emotions for a while, and continued southward along the Agate River with a group of guards. He wanted to see the abyss of the river with his own eyes.

After another day of trekking, Ryan arrived at the mouth of the Agate River. There was no productive population living within dozens of kilometers nearby. There was only a nearly abandoned port with a few guards stationed there. Every two months Changing of guard.

It is said that when the river was first opened up, standing on the land here, one could see the land of the Principality of Genoa opposite.

Along the way, Ryan really didn't find any traces of the plague zombies. His perception ability was amazing, but he couldn't find any clues, which was consistent with the investigation results of Lord Gorgart.

Could it be that the walking corpse was really just an accident?

Ryan also looked through the port's records and found that no ships had docked in the past two years.

"Your Excellency, you can check the situation of the port in Bailey River. It is more prosperous and popular than here."

The veteran stationed at the port suggested, "It's just that the entrance to the sea over there is the territory of the Gant Territory. The coastal terrain there is relatively flat, and commerce and fisheries are very developed. It's not like here where there are cliffs outside the wild forest, and even a large The ports cannot be repaired.”

Ryan thought: "Well, doesn't the Gant Territory have a good relationship with the Wilson Territory to the north of them, and they have always been at odds with us in Turin?"

The veteran said: "I don't know about this. If you are looking for something from the south, you probably can't find it in Turin. The Agate River rushes into the abyss, causing many ships to have no ability to go upstream. Small boats can't dock at all, as if our port doesn't exist. The mouth of the Bailey River is very gentle, and there are often merchant ships coming and going from Gant. Not long ago, even a large ship was unwilling to rest here. How can we leave the environment?"

"There was a big ship not long ago?"

"Well, it was probably more than twenty days ago. Because it didn't dock, we have no record here."

Ryan nodded and said: "I understand, old man, please pay more attention to the situation here. If you find anything wrong, you can notify the guards in time and ask them to inform Kamo Mast Knight of the Mast Family."

When leaving the port, Ryan only wrote down two things in his small notebook, the infection of the power of light and the large ship that passed south of Turin more than 20 days ago.

Since there are no other clues at the moment, we can only assume that the walking corpse came from the big ship and walked to the nearest village after a long journey of five or six days.

In this case, Gaugart will have to pay attention to whether Gant's group to the east of them will suddenly cause trouble.

Anyway, it's not a bad thing to prepare for a rainy day. If you always pay attention to when the Mandala Principality will deal a heavy blow to Turin, it's easy to ignore the backstabs of the dukes who are also lords.

Because he was delayed in the small village for a night, Ryan returned to his jurisdiction on the morning of the fourth day, bringing little John with him.

"Oh, Lord Ryan, I've been waiting for you for a long time. This is the document that the Lord asked me to send. He also said that the Gray Vulture and Du Wen families are not normal. During the investigation, it was found that the taxes they paid in recent years were wrong, and a lot of iron ore was sold to Gant and Wilson at a low price."

The speaker was one of Gorgat's bodyguards, Brawch Will, who was also a member of the Will family. In fact, he was a child picked up by a side branch. Because he was strong since childhood, he was chosen as one of Gorgat's guards. Although a little sissy, he is not as scary as Popoly.

Ryan thanked him, took the document, and asked:

"That damn eunuch Boboli hasn't left Turin yet? Isn't he afraid of something unexpected happening?"

Brauch blinked and said, "This topic is a bit sensitive. Many nobles, including those who are loyal to the lord, have accepted Boboli's invitation to the banquet. In recent years, the trade between the Mandala Principality and the Ice Jasmine Principality has become more and more frequent. The land in the north is barren and the climate is cold, so the resources in the south can be sold at a very good price in the north. Everyone wants to make more money. Although letting the principality act as a middleman doesn't make that much money, it is at least cheaper than fighting a war."

As expected of someone around Gorgat, he feels much smarter than the lord who looks handsome on the surface but is actually a little silly.

Ryan slapped his thigh and lost.

The application of his water conservancy system in urban construction is actually more suitable for the north. The big bathhouse is exclusive to the northerners. I don’t know if the lord and the nobles have agreed on how to sell it. Anyway, some key components can only be produced from him. As long as the molds for telekinesis shaping are not lost, he may be able to raise the price at that time.

After sending away Blauchi, Ryan met Bryce.

There are still a lot of documents on the latter’s desk, but the dates have been changed one after another.

Ryan asked curiously, "Mr. Bryce, our town hasn't officially started construction yet, how come there are so many daily affairs?"

Bryce saw Ryan coming back, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up from his chair. He said weakly, "Mr. Ryan, I really don't want to have another meeting! Ever since you said that everyone should speak up and express their opinions during the meeting, the people from various departments have started to make crazy suggestions and asked me to give priority to their projects. What's more terrifying is that there are also disagreements within their departments. They were originally sitting at the table to have a meeting and communicate in a friendly manner, but they started spitting at each other and fighting."

Ryan said calmly, "Those who started fighting will be locked up in the confinement room for three to five days according to the corresponding regulations I specified."

Bryce took a breath and said, "I did execute this, but they fought even harder in there."

Ryan took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Counting their average age, I think I actually need to go from twenty to thirty Reselect the members of each department from the people between the ages of ten. "

Bryce exclaimed: "Wouldn't those young guys fight harder? The old guys would just pull their beards and hair at most."

Ryan explained: "The town we are going to build is a type that has never appeared in the world. Since the old people have shown their inability to adapt, we should choose more malleable young people."

Bryce said at a loss: "Why do I feel like I'm abandoned by the times?"

Ryan said: "It's still a long way from being abandoned. I'm very busy, and you have to take care of many things."

He patted Bryce on the shoulder and continued: "If we join a department called Terra Administration in the future, you will know what tedious and useless administrative work is."

Sending little John to the accommodation to rest, Ryan took advantage of his lack of sleepiness to hurry up and write and review the textbooks for the experimental school that will be opened soon.

The above content is very simple, trying to make it suitable for all ages and understandable at a glance.

But the problem is that many people here can't read, so many contents are even represented by sketches.

If Ryan's teachers in his previous life saw this simple textbook, they would be impressed that the child had a good memory, at least he didn't draw many things in reverse.

The content of these textbooks is mainly to let children recognize the natural world and understand the manifestation of matter, such as the most basic gas, liquid and solid, and what properties each has that can be used in real life.

When they know more words, when explaining the transformation of these material forms, what tools can be used to achieve it, or what data can be obtained to complete the energy required or released by the transformation of material forms on paper.

At this point, it is basically the physics level of junior high school.

After a busy night, Ryan suddenly realized that since the last time he stayed up late, his body seemed to have actively entered a certain state, and he didn't feel tired.

But for safety reasons, he still forced himself to squint and rest for two hours.

When Bryce brought the newly found young people from various departments to find him, he took them to the best blacksmith shop in town.

The technology of this era had no problem developing stone materials, so there were even early simple stone factories that could be used to produce stone materials for canals.

However, the smelting and casting technology was not well developed, so it was still passed down in the form of individual merchants mainly inherited by family apprentices, and no large-scale steel mills were formed.

Bryce Bellows once belonged to a blacksmith family, but after he had the opportunity to study, he started to work as a clerk. But his previous relationships are still there, and many of the gadgets drawn by Ryan were made by him asking people to help.

The newly selected young people followed Ryan and Bryce carefully, not understanding why they came here.

Aren't they here for a meeting to learn?

As soon as Bryce entered the blacksmith shop, he skillfully put on heavy gloves to help and greeted the master inside.

The blacksmith master was a little restrained, wiping the sweat from his forehead and showing the results of the past few days.

Three black metal tubes, more than 70 centimeters long and about the size of a knuckle, were placed on the table. Bryce explained for the blacksmith:

"Lord Ryan, the process requirements for etching the threaded coils in the metal tubes you mentioned are somewhat difficult to process. Even with the molds you provided, the accuracy cannot meet your requirements, so we can only relax the distance three times."

Ryan happily picked up the metal tubes and said, "Technological progress can be made step by step. I am very happy that this thing can be made, proving that a certain blue guy did not mess with me."

Everyone didn't understand what the blue guy was. They watched Ryan pick up a metal tube and came to the courtyard behind the blacksmith shop.

There were several light armors for soldiers in the courtyard. They were not as good as knight armor, but they had enough defense against cold weapons.

After all, no lord could replace all soldiers with protective equipment equivalent to knight armor.

Bryce's eyes were very clever, and he hurriedly handed Ryan the metal balls of the same size and an object in a cloth bag.

Bryce said, "Sir, gunpowder is very common in Holy Roland. Some people there use these minerals to make medicine, but they often explode. What we buy the most here is still the silk and porcelain of Holy Roland, which are more valuable. Gunpowder should have no other use except setting off fireworks."

Ryan did not answer, but just poured out the gunpowder.

Ryan thought it was good that gunpowder had been invented in this world, saving him from spending time to adjust the formula and experiment one by one.

Because of the concept problem, the people in this world have not discovered the most dangerous use of gunpowder, and the people in this world have not expanded the demand for the world's geographical discoveries, because the world has clearly shown them that the strength of each principality is equal.

However, in the previous life, as early as the Song Dynasty in 1072, someone made a bamboo musket.

So when I asked Bryce to prepare these things, the most difficult thing to deal with was the metal tube as the gun body. Because there was no bamboo here, I had to use metal directly.

Ryan kept a mysterious smile, poured gunpowder into the gun body, and then put a few bullets in.

The gap at the back of the metal tube opened, revealing the buried matchlock.

Ryan picked up this primitive matchlock gun and used telekinesis to add several layers of protection in front of himself.

Before lighting the matchlock, Ryan reminded loudly: "You can cover your ears, or stand behind the wall balcony."

After all, he didn't know whether the first shot would explode or fire smoothly.

But he decided to believe that he could fire smoothly. After all, it was the Warhammer world. Those brainless greenskins could use weapons with a 1000% failure rate normally, so there was no reason for him to have problems.
