Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Derrick left the base, but the training continued.

Following the example, the training of the new recruits was led by the previous militia.

The efficiency was much lower, but with the support of the data panel, it was not slow.

On the contrary, the progress of Little Tru was slow. The blacksmith apprentice was fine in the first few days, but as soon as Derek left, the progress dropped to less than half.

However, with the support of the data panel and the overflow experience.

In ten days, they had already reached the official military blacksmith level.

Little Tru soon discovered that the new apprentice was also a genius like himself.

No, he remembered what Master Derek said, genius? No, as long as the materials can keep up, a pig can also become a qualified blacksmith.

He once secretly laughed at Master Derek, but now it seems that he was stupid.

In an instant, his attitude changed.

Since the blacksmith's craftsmanship cannot become an exclusive secret recipe, he should be obedient and avoid being punished.

This is because Little Tru is young. If it were Old Tru, he would definitely not be so easily convinced by himself.

If the data panel has a loyalty item, Little Tru's loyalty would have increased by at least 50% at this time.

Derek was in Watch City, and he could roughly guess what happened through the data panel.

So, this method of controlling people worked well?

Playing with a country blacksmith's son obviously didn't give him any sense of accomplishment.

Derek started sweeping the streets the next day. Watch City has a large population, and nearby nobles live here.

There are many shops and supplies are very rich.

Derek can't afford to offend any of them. His knight title is just an entry ticket.

Reputation, strength and price are all issues that Derek needs to consider.

He doesn't plan to buy too much iron ore at one time. Little Tru only consumes seven or eight kilograms a day, and the consumption will not be too large in the short term.

Watch City is worthy of being the largest city nearby. There are people doing business in all walks of life, and iron ore is not scarce.

There has been no war recently, and the price is even more stable.

One kilogram of iron ore is only about 10 copper coins, and the iron output is about one-third.

According to this calculation, a pound of iron is only 30 copper coins, but the market price has always been between 40 and 50.

Do you think it is very profitable?

However, after deducting the costs of labor, fuel, transportation, etc., the money earned is also hard-earned money.

Buying one meter of iron ore is only about 80 silver coins.

Take it back for the blacksmiths to practice, and produce more than 300 pounds of iron ore, which is enough to make 700 to 800 spearheads.

It is worth more than 300 silver coins. Even if three novice blacksmiths, it will take two or three months.

After deducting the insignificant labor and consumables of more than ten silver coins, the net profit of 250 can be more than dozens.

Derek knew that if he really calculated it this way, he would also make 250.

Three months is a business of more than ten gold coins, but there are dozens of people eating and munching. The salary plus maintenance costs are three gold coins per month, which means that three months is equivalent to working for nothing.

Of course, there must be other ways to make money to maintain dozens of people.

Ordinary nobles will not support so many people, so there is still income.

For Derek, money is just a resource, and strengthening his own strength is the most important thing.

With three squads of regular troops in hand, even Baron Ferreira has to face him.

Derek selected his target and quickly bought a car of iron ore.

This amount is not large, so no one cares at all.

This time he came to the Watch City, like a minion, no one cares.

Derek knows that it will not be like this soon.

The convoy squeaked back to Maiduo Village. Andrew still did not think highly of Derek's insistence on training blacksmiths.

The training ground was lent to Derek, and he rarely went there.

Keeping a proper distance is also the key to maintaining family affection.

It took nearly a month to go back and forth.

The level of soldiers in the base and those going out is not much different. The recruits are only at level three or five, and the veterans are only at level five, six or seven.

The blacksmiths are making rapid progress.

Tru

Occupation: Military Blacksmith Level 4 (17/100)

Experience Pool: 22/100

The other two blacksmith apprentices have also reached the level of two levels.

When they met again, Little Tru bent his waist even lower.

"How many spearheads can you make in a day now?"

"About ten. My craftsmanship has improved a little recently. With the help of two apprentices, I can make ten spearheads a day."

"Try to make a few iron swords. Just use the iron ore I brought back. You can't cultivate a good blacksmith without practice."

"You are right. I have made faster progress here than I did with my father in the past ten years. I have some ideas about the iron sword, but I may need to experiment a few times."

Little Tru is full of confidence. Although his progress has been slow recently, it can be seen that he has made progress. Give yourself time and he will definitely be able to make a qualified iron sword.

Derek nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he saw that Little Tru's talent was almost here.

He only improved a little every day, sometimes not at all.

It all depends on the experience points overflowed from the experience pool, otherwise he would only be a level 5 blacksmith for his whole life.

This is still the result of the accelerated growth of the panel, otherwise he would probably be a level 4 blacksmith, similar to his father.

But this is not important.

An iron sword uses three to five kilograms of materials, and the cost is only one or two silver coins, but it can be sold for five silver coins.

Even if you make an iron sword in a day, the profit will double.

Of course, the premise is that the blacksmith level is level five.

At present, it is a threshold, and below that is basically a country blacksmith, earning two or three gold coins a year.

Level 5 is considered to be a success, and it can create at least 40 to 50 gold coins a year.

Huge profits, this is huge profits.

As expected, increasing added value is the way to make money.

Otherwise, 50 gold coins are already the output of a micro-manor.

When three blacksmiths can make iron swords, with a few apprentices, they can earn 150 gold coins a year, which is enough to support six or seven squads of soldiers.

Of course, in fact, there are various other expenses, and it is difficult to support four or five squads.

After arranging the blacksmiths, Derek continued to work hard, and the premise of everything was to have armed protection.

Otherwise, such a business is enough to make many people jealous.

It is not that you can expand unlimitedly if you have the ability to make money. In this feudal society, the nobles have mastered the basic resources and must act within the rules.

A month and a half later, after countless failures, Little Tru was finally able to make an iron sword.

Compared with cheap spears, iron swords are more valuable.

After accumulating dozens of iron swords, the iron ore has been almost consumed.

Counting the time, it has been three months in total.

Half of the gold coins in hand have been used up.

If he continues to stay here, he will attract the attention of others.

Derek must find a place to stand.
