Richard rode on his horse, and with a few knights and attendants, he soon arrived at the door of the blacksmith shop.

At this time, the guards in charge of leading the blacksmiths were already waiting outside the blacksmith shop.

“Greetings, Lord!” The knight servant at the door bowed.

“”Greetings, Lord!” The blacksmiths also followed suit.

They were a little nervous. After all, they all knew the status of their craftsmanship. In the past, they only made some daily necessities for the people, and the quality was not guaranteed.

Now they were called by the Lord whom they revered as a god, and they didn’t know whether their craftsmanship could meet the Lord’s requirements.

But when they thought of the salary and food subsidies mentioned by the Lord, they were a little jealous. They thought in their hearts that they must be careful again and again and use all their skills.

Richard nodded, jumped off the horse, and walked straight into the house.

This is a big house. In order to avoid fire, the walls are built with stones.

Forging tables, quenching barrels, furnaces, coal, pig iron, etc., all kinds of tools are available.

Li���Directly open the system panel and designate this place as the location of the system blacksmith shop. It is similar to the militia training camp, and there is no change in the real world.

Then, the system issued a prompt:

【The Blacksmith Shop venue has been set up successfully! Please note that if the host needs it in the future, he can consume lord points to change the venue designation!】

【You have opened the blacksmith shop privileges, use it to strengthen your territory! Whether it is war or life, it will bring your territory into the Iron Age and greatly enhance the strength of your territory! 】

Richard’s mouth curled up and looked at the description of the blacksmith shop.

【All functions of the blacksmith shop are activated!】

【Casting bonus: After the craftsmen move in, the craftsman’s skill bonus will be greatly improved, making ironware more efficient and improving the quality of the work!】

【Extraordinary bonus: After a master craftsman moves into your blacksmith shop, there is a chance that he can create primary extraordinary equipment! 】

With the reminder when unlocking the blacksmith shop before, plus the experience of the designated militia training camp before, Richard is not surprised by these.

The rest is to let the craftsmen start working.

“Bring them in!”

Following Richard’s order, the knight’s attendant brought in the blacksmiths.

Among these people, there were only two people who had been working as blacksmiths before, and the others had not done it for a long time.

In this regard, on the one hand, before Richard came, the management here was chaotic, and the tax officer Harvey was very casual in collecting taxes from these people.

When he was in a good mood, he would collect some taxes casually, and when he was in a bad mood, he would directly empty the entire blacksmith shop, leaving them with less and less chances of survival.

On the other hand, the town was so small, and there was no war in normal times, so there was no military equipment for them to forge. Even if there was a war, they would not be able to use the things they forged, as they were all military equipment issued by the higher-ups.

And the people in the territory did not need much blacksmithing in their daily lives, and they did not have that much time and effort. More business.

Until there were only two blacksmiths left working in Long Eagle Territory, Harvey finally stopped being so harsh on them.

After all, the people of Long Eagle Territory still have to make do with their lives, and it is impossible to do without blacksmiths.

The reason why the tax officer said that he only found one during the previous investigation was mainly because he did not know Richard well enough at the time, and thought he could get away with it and embezzle more taxes.

After all, it is one thing for him to get a share of his so-called unspoken rules, but if he can directly hide some of the industries, then that part can all go into his pocket.

This is also the reason why two pieces of extraordinary materials were seized from his home.

Seeing that everyone was in place, Richard did not drag his feet and spoke directly:

“Now that you are all here, let’s get started! I need you to make some spearheads, plowshares, sickles, hoes, and some other things for me.

My knight squire will explain these requirements to you in detail later, and will also inform you of the specifications and requirements.

If you have any needs within the scope of work, you can also tell him, as long as it is within a reasonable range, I can meet it.

If any of you can have better methods and skills to increase the output of the blacksmith shop, you can also tell my squire. If feasible, this lord will give extra rewards!

As for rewards, it is not limited to salary increases and the supply of meat!

Even if you don’t have better methods and skills, as long as you can complete my tasks on time and in quantity, there will be basic salary and meat guarantee!”

When the craftsmen heard this, they were immediately surprised and excited.

“Lord, rest assured, we will do our best for you!”

“It’s best to do things well!”

Richard sneered:

“However, if anyone messes up, then go back and dig the ground! Then, the monthly diet will be halved!”

Everyone was shocked and quickly promised:

“Definitely not, definitely not!”

Richard ignored them, waved his hand to let them start, and then left the blacksmith shop.

In the blacksmith shop, the knight’s attendant assigned the tasks to these people according to the drawings Richard had given him before, and informed them of the requirements.

Mainly because they were illiterate, they had to let him pass on the message, otherwise they could just leave the drawings and leave.

Then, they started to make a fire.

Not long after, the blacksmith shop began to clang.

After starting to forge iron, a young blacksmith was suddenly stunned.

He found that he hadn’t touched a hammer for several years, but now he felt that the hammer was like an extension of his body. He could hit wherever he wanted and use as much force as he wanted.

And not only did he not feel unfamiliar, but he did it better than before!

And a picture seemed to appear in his mind, which was exactly the look and standard required by the lord. Every time he struck, it could be compared with the iron in his hand. , knowing where to hit the next hammer!

The young man looked incredible.

The old blacksmith next to him had almost the same feeling.

The old blacksmith was responsible for the forging of the spearhead. Although he had rich experience in blacksmithing, to be honest, he had never forged this kind of weapon, but the magical thing was that he quickly made the thing according to the standard in his mind.

And after measurement, it was found that it was exactly the same size and weight as required by the lord, perfect!

Some blacksmiths used to take most of the day to make a kitchen knife, but now facing the more difficult hoe, not only is it very smooth, but also very efficient, and the quality is far beyond their imagination.

They didn’t know what happened, but it was a good thing after all, and they thought they wouldn’t be sent back!

Everyone was excited.

At this time, Richard had returned to the castle.

Just after sitting down, he received the news that the secretary wanted to see him.

Richard smiled slightly:

“It seems that the information about the swamp witch has been found! Let him in!”
