Soon, old Roger, who was eating the food he brought on the carriage, saw Tang Mo and Weiss walking out of the Earl's Mansion. He met Tang Mo and asked nervously: "How is it? Is it done?"
"
He didn't expect that Tang Mo would come out so soon, so he felt that Tang Mo had failed again. But soon, Tang Mo's answer made him excited: "It's settled, we will go back to Bunas right now! We will start giving birth in the evening."
"That... is really great." Old Roger excitedly smashed his palm with his fist, and then saw... a large group of people.
Yes, Tiger, a trusted officer under Earl Fischereau, led fifty armed soldiers, ten cavalry, and a full thirty carriages. The team could be said to be extremely spectacular.
These carriages are not the kind of luxury carriages that can only hold three or four people, but the kind of real transport carriages that can hold up to ten people.
The carriage was full of people, most of whom were looking curiously at Tang Mo, Luo Jie and others standing beside the carriage.
Many carriages were also loaded with supplies, including grain, coal, and iron ingots... In short, most of the carriages were heavy, and the excitement made the residents of Wolf City rush to watch the excitement.
Count Fischereau stood beside Tang Mo, looked at the long motorcade, and said to Tang Mo: "It is not easy to find so many large vehicles at the moment. I have tried my best. Maybe the food is still a little short. In a few days,
When these big trucks come back, I will let them run again."
"Thank you, Lord Count, for your support! I will repay your appreciation with sufficient ammunition and weapons." Tang Mo couldn't calm down as he watched carriage after carriage passing in front of him.
This is the first business he made in this world, and it is also a crucial business.
When he returns to Bunas, everything will be fine! His workshop will surpass Cyric's workshop and become the first true "factory" in the world!
"I'm looking forward to it!" Count Fischereau glanced at Tang Mo and nodded.
He had no reason to worry, because following Tang Mo was his confidant Tiger and the thirty soldiers who stayed in Bunas. If Tang Mo could escape in this way, then Tiger would probably become a
joke.
The team set off like this, and it can be described as majestic. With so many soldiers following, no bandit who is not discerning would be able to plan such a convoy.
What's more, there are knights flying the wolf flag of Beiling, which can be seen clearly from a distance while walking in the vicious forest.
However, such a team cannot move too fast. Tang Mo only traveled one night when he arrived, and it would take more than two days to return to Bunas.
There is no way, the convoy cannot move forward quickly, which is why a knight can run three hundred miles in one day, and an army running 120 miles in one day can be described as a magical force descending from the sky.
Therefore, by the time Tang Mo returned to Bunas again, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
When his carriage appeared at the gate of the workshop, the young apprentice with an apron on his chest ran back to the workshop excitedly, shouting loudly to everyone passing by: "The boss is back! The boss is back!"
Tang Mo jumped off the carriage and waved to the old workers in the workshops who came out and the apprentices following them, and then heard the excited cheers of these workers and apprentices. Because they saw Tang Mo's
Behind him, a carriage carrying vegetables and grain had just entered the workshop yard.
"I'm back! How have you been these two days? Are you lazy?" Tang Mo touched the clever little apprentice and asked with a smile.
"Of course not! The master and I made three qualified gun machines! They are exactly the same as your requirements!" The young apprentice proudly showed off.
"Haha! Let's show off when you can drill the barrel of a gun by yourself!" His master was a sturdy middle-aged man. After hearing his apprentice's show off, he laughed and said.
This master is responsible for drilling gun barrels in the workshop. His skills are very good and he is a relatively powerful worker in the workshop.
Gradually, everyone's laughter subsided, because everyone saw that not only the carriages transporting vegetables, but also knights wearing armor and banners also entered the yard.
Then soldiers carrying flintlock muskets jumped out of the carriage, led by an officer, who was directing a group of people wearing various clothes and lining up next to the carriage with their luggage and bedding.
Noisy sounds came and went, and old Roger was too busy to even say a word to his old friends in the workshop.
Wes was free. He went straight to the stables to see the horse he had ridden. He was responsible for driving the horse before going to Beiling, so he could only leave the horse here.
In the workshop that originally had only a hundred people, more than a hundred people suddenly came, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
The new workers curiously looked at the new environment they were about to live in. Some helped the soldiers carry various supplies under the carriage.
Baskets of coal were lifted off the carriage and piled up in a mess in the yard. Next to them were messy bags, which contained various bottles and cans that Tang Mo purchased in Wolf City.
with alchemical materials.
Tang Mo wanted to experiment with smokeless gunpowder, so he purchased some chemical reagents and experimental flasks.
The science of chemistry is not like mechanical engineering. As long as you have drawings and corresponding materials, you can do it. Chemistry still requires some experimentation, so Tang Mo can only explore it by himself.
He wanted to get smokeless gunpowder as soon as possible so that he could completely crush the unprogressive Cyric consortium in artillery and rifle technology.
Once only his weapons can be invincible on the battlefield, then he can become the veritable king of arms in this world.
Tang Mo didn't know if there were other time travelers like him who could create weapons and equipment that were far ahead of the times, but he felt that he should move forward bravely and inject new vitality into the world in his own way!
Looking at the gradually noisy courtyard, Tang Mo felt that he should do something to end the chaos in front of him. So he shouted loudly to Roger: "Roger! Clean up the dormitories that no one lives in.
Four people per room... let them find someone they know well to live with."
He wants to arrange a place to stay for these workers who have come from afar to ensure that they can work for him with peace of mind in the future.
Originally, when this workshop was at its peak, there were more than two hundred workers and apprentices, so the place here was still large enough.
Workers in this era did not have any guild organizations, and their private lives were squeezed out. Most of them lived in factories all year round, and those who had families could only go home for one day a month to rest.
It's okay for those who work locally, but those who go to other places to work are very miserable. Many times, after leaving their hometown for more than five years, they finally save enough money to return home and find that their children are three years old...
While ordering, he pointed to the carriages piled with vegetables: "Ask the soldiers to help send the vegetables and food to the canteen! Tell Aunt Trish to cook a good dinner and entertain everyone.
!”
"Got it!" A fat lady who looked like she weighed 200 pounds had a smile on her face. She responded and went to see her vegetables and grains.
On this side, Tang Mo was still directing everyone: "Tiger! You can take care of the money for now...Roger! Hey! Roger! I'm sorry, let Boris take them to the dormitory! You and Tai will talk to him later."
Let’s pay this month’s salary to everyone!”
"No problem." Tiger, wearing the bright yellow military uniform of the Wright Kingdom, immediately replied.
Tang Mo then continued to say to Tiger: "Most of the remaining money will be used to purchase raw materials. I need leather, wood, coal, steel, including bristle from Beiling! Let these returning knights bring a message to the Earl.
, you can use these things to offset your debt, I want them anyway."
Tiger nodded slightly again and agreed: "Okay, I will let them make it clear to the count after they go back."
He was very satisfied with Tang Mo's approach of purchasing raw materials in large quantities, because this is what a workshop that wants to expand production should look like and process.
If Tang Mo only shared the money, he would be suspicious of Tang Mo and worried that he might have deceived the earl and escaped with the donation.
Now, by converting as many gold coins into supplies as possible, Tang Mo would be less likely to escape with a huge amount of supplies. So Tiger was relieved and had a smile on his face.
When they arrived at the dormitory, Tang Mo had an embarrassed look on his face: "Let your soldiers live in the dormitory too!... It may not be enough. If it doesn't work, go to the open space where the shooting is.
Pitch tents! Let them take turns living in tents... I will find a good place as soon as possible and expand the dormitory. Let them be patient for the time being, and put workers first. After all, our first priority is production, there is no other way."
"I have no problem here. I will take good care of the people I bring." This Tiger didn't care. During the march and war, everyone lived in tents, so few people had any objections.
The soldiers he brought out this time were all well-trained, loyal and elite soldiers. He knew every one of them by name, and they were considered to be close confidants.
Seeing the dwarf engineer staggering over, Tang Mo continued: "Matthews! You and Roger are in the same room! I will give you the drawings later. You first get familiar with the tools and equipment here! It's very
We will start work soon."
"Ha! I still want to see your needle gun." Matthews was a little motion sick, so he seemed to be in a daze as if he was drunk. However, he quickly answered Tang Mo's words, still with a smile on his face.
With a thick nasal voice.
A smile appeared on Tang Mo's face: "You can take a look at the needle guns produced later, but now we only have seven such guns left here, and they will all be taken away by the Earl's knights later!
"
"Okay! I hope you won't disappoint me." Matthews said, standing next to the chaotic team of workers.
"Don't worry! I never disappoint people!" Tang Mo replied firmly and continued to busy directing the chaotic scene.
