Although Meng Han had such doubts, he was not surprised. A castle plus a White House, in the era he lived in, would have to be calculated in hundreds of millions, and it would have to be US dollars. Now he has more than one hundred on hand
A gold coin is really a bit too shabby.
"Let's go back and take a look." The stones quarried over the past few days were enough for the masons to practice their skills. Meng Han also decided to put down the magic practice at hand and go back to deal with the affairs of the territory.
It seems that not much has changed in Huangsha Town during his month. All the people brought by the mercenaries have settled near the construction site. There is not much in Huangsha Town. To be honest,
If there are changes, it can only be said that the guards are slightly different.
According to the plan made by Qiao and Zhu, the current training level and physical fitness of the guards are enough to practice fighting qi. Qiao and Zhu have begun to teach them the most basic fighting qi exercises. Fortunately, these twins, all
They have all learned the basics of Dou Qi and have begun to practice.
"Very good." Meng Han is very satisfied with the current training progress of Qiao and Zhu. Once these people all have a certain regular basis, Meng Han plans to train them to cooperate. And the training method of cooperation is in Meng Han's
There are simply too many in their minds. If nothing else, the modern army's recruit training alone is enough to turn these people into a group of soldiers who at least look very professional.
However, that is not what we have to worry about at the moment. Since we are looking for people from outside to build our own castle, and it is a castle and white house of that size, then a group of well-trained and professional construction workers are still needed. Very much.
Obviously, people found at random may not be qualified for such a high-level job. It is 100% necessary to provide vocational skills training to these people.
The people brought back by the mercenaries were indeed mixed, old and young. Since Meng Han had said it first, he was not picky. Anyway, unless there was a rebellion, few commoners in this world would dare to be disrespectful to the nobles. In addition,
The mysterious twin curse here is enough to suppress these outsiders.
The first thing everyone did when they came to Huangsha Town was to listen to the mercenaries pointing to the pillars in the square and vividly describing the fate of those who dared to attack the twins here. They didn't even wait for Meng Han to comment.
Education, these people have been silent to the people here.
Grace has been waiting in the town for a long time. As the housekeeper, all the people sent here must register with her and be assigned a wooden house to live in. Then they will join the army that is leveling the land.
"Grace, select suitable people among them and ask our people to teach them how to build the simplest houses, starting with the stone houses they live in." Doing things is done step by step, no one is born knowing how to do things, so,
Meng Han doesn't force them to know everything.
"Those who do not cooperate will be fired directly. Those who cooperate and their families can stay. This is the rule." After Meng Han finished instructing them on their work, he also explained the rules to Grace and the others. He did not want these servants to stay.
It will do no good if the people brought by the soldiers are disobedient or even rebellious.
After inspecting Huangsha Town, Meng Han returned to the Lord's Mansion, and everyone followed. In the first sentence, Meng Han asked Grace: "How many gold coins do we have now?"
"There are still sixty-three more, and there are also a lot of silver coins and copper coins. But now that the population is so large, we have to buy a lot of food. If we don't increase our manpower, we can probably use this money until the end of the year." Grace
Now I have a hint of a housekeeper, and I answer questions with accurate figures, and the content also includes budget and possible expenditures, which makes it clear for people to hear.
"Stretched." Meng Han nodded, and could only use this word to describe the current situation. Once upon a time, having one gold coin in the territory was considered a huge sum of money, but now, guarding more than 60 gold coins is still a poor man. Meng Han had to
He sighed with emotion, and then made a decision: "If it really doesn't work, we can only sell the elves' things. Although the lack of suitable scabbards will greatly affect their value."
While they were sighing, the elven brothers came together and told Meng Han that the elves had invited a dwarf master and he had arrived at the edge of the elven forest.
It took more than a month to accomplish this matter. It seems that the relationship between dwarves and elves is not necessarily that close. But no matter what, the elves can invite dwarves, but Meng Han cannot. This is
the difference.
"Please!" Meng Han ordered without hesitation. Just as the elf brothers were about to run out, Meng Han stopped them and said, "I'll go there myself." When he was dozing off, someone brought him a big, fragrant pillow.
Meng Han was a little doubtful, was this done intentionally by the elves to warn him that they knew his whereabouts well?
"Grace, go call brothers Edward and Edwin." While preparing to welcome the dwarf master, Meng Han did not forget to ask Grace to call the dwarf brothers.
At the edge of the Elf Forest, Jessica, the little witch of the Elf tribe, was with a dwarf who had a big beard but could not tell his age. In addition, there were several very gorgeous wooden boxes on the ground. The dwarf was very calm.
, sitting on a flat tree stump. But the little witch walked around anxiously, mumbling incessantly, as if she was very impatient.
Meng Han and his entourage appeared in the field of vision from a distance. The little witch restlessly counted almost a thousand numbers before they came to the front.
At this moment, the little witch frowned and rushed forward and complained: "Why are you walking so slowly?"
"No way, I'm poor and can't afford a horse." Meng Han looked at the little witch now with an indescribable emotion, but he still joked: "How about taking the elf's one-horned horse?"
If you give me some beasts, it will definitely be fast if you ride them!"
"Humph!" The little witch snorted coldly. She was about to say something, but suddenly she seemed to remember something and swallowed back the words she was about to say. She looked at Meng Han's cold introduction with an unhappy look on her face.
Said: "This is Mr. Howard, the master of the dwarves. You must take good care of him!"
"Master Howard!" After hearing the little witch's introduction, Meng Han walked directly in front of the dwarf master, bowed slightly, and called him respectfully. The dwarf master opened his eyes slightly and saw Meng Han's attitude.
, hummed, closed it again, and said nothing. Meng Han didn't care at all about his indifference, and was still so respectful. He held a six-pointed star magic ornament in his hands and gave it to the dwarf master.
Seeing the obvious difference in attitude towards the two of them, the little witch was even more unhappy. She snorted coldly, walked to the pile of wooden boxes, and kicked her hard: "These are some medium magic materials for you to take."
Go and practice. Once you become proficient, we will naturally send you the advanced materials."
"Grace, is counting enough?" Meng Han showed no appreciation and directly called his housekeeper to come forward and count. This impolite approach made the little witch furious, but she still remembered the last time
The lesson learned, don’t dare to take action.
Meng Han saw how hard she endured and immediately understood that the punishment the little witch received from the elders last time was probably severe enough. Otherwise, with her character, she would never let Meng Han go so easily.
The little witch's task was probably to deliver people and things. After saying that, she handed over the things and without saying a word, she turned around and walked into the forest, as if she didn't want to stay with this annoying person like Meng Han for even one more minute.
"Master, please come this way." Meng Han respectfully extended his hand to Master Howard in a gesture of invitation. Howard opened his eyes and walked directly in front without being polite. Meng Han still followed respectfully.
While walking, I introduced Master Howard to the current situation in Huangsha Town.
"Master, do you want us to build a new house for you alone, or would you rather live in a lively hotel?" After introducing Huangsha Town, Meng Han began to ask Master Howard.
"Give me a separate place, preferably together with my work place." Master Howard finally spoke, his voice was slightly hoarse, but he sounded energetic and did not look like he was old.
"Master, thank you for your hard work coming from afar!" Meng Han said as he called the dwarf brothers over: "Master, these are brothers Edward and Edwin. During your time in Huangsha Town, it will be the two of them.
Come to serve you. If there is any work that is not worth doing, leave it to them. All you have to do is ask."
"Oh?" Howard had seen the dwarf brothers a long time ago, but he had never asked. Now when he saw the two of them standing in front of him, with identical faces, he immediately knew what was going on. He didn't say anything and just nodded.
"I don't know what kind of working environment you are used to, so I haven't prepared anything in this area. I need your personal guidance." Meng Han then started to play tricks: "You keep talking, just ask their brothers to help you prepare."
As long as Howard guides the Edward brothers in their work, they will naturally learn something.
"Why do you think I need something different?" Howard suddenly asked with interest: "The blacksmith craftsmanship of our dwarves can be reflected even on the most ordinary furnace anvil."
"Because what I need is not just the skills that can be reflected, but the best craftsmanship." Meng Han answered the master's question with a smile. At the same time, he also did not forget to give a small compliment to Master Howard: "And
I also know that the best masters, no matter what they do, even the simplest things, will go all out and not do it half-heartedly."
