Chapter 745 Horn arrived at Lengquan Fort
The Patriarch's ship attracted countless people's attention in the first second of his arrival at Lengquan Fort.
On the stepped mountain, the slopes formed by the slopes.
As the sobs of the wooden boards and thatch, residents walked out of the door and greeted each other in hoarse voices.
"The wharf has actually been cleared. Who is so popular?"
"What kind of flag is that? Who can see clearly?"
"Ah, it's the sun gear flag."
"The Grand Patriarch is here! It's His Highness Horn!"
In the mist in the morning, the sound of hoarse trumpets and drums sounded at the dock of Lengquan Town, and a red carpet paved across the oak plank road.
At the first time I stepped into the Cold Spring Fort, Horn smelled the fishy smell of river food, the pungent asphalt smell and the rosin wrapped in wooden boardwalks in the air.
Standing in front of the mayor of Lengquan Town, the one who came to greet Horn with a stinky face was the white horse knight Spitrochu.
After the previous Thousand River Valley War, the old knight, whose hair was half white, was now completely white.
He was wearing a close-fitting armed suit with a sleeve, and an iron hand stretched out from his left arm with iron made of iron and flesh.
You can only see gears, spider silk and fine gold springs at the joints and wrists.
Precision alloy is currently the only material that can make springs and can only be used on a small scale.
Seeing Horn coming from the end of the red carpet, Spitrochuk also stepped forward: "According to the order of the autocratic prince, the White Horse Knight Spitrochut will come to welcome the great patriarch on behalf of His Highness." "Hahahaha." Horn smiled before he could speak, and went forward to hug Spitrochuk hard, "Old knight, it's really a long time since we met."
Although Spitrochu looked arrogant, he still softened his voice: "It's almost two years."
After the Battle of Flying Flow Castle, Horn and the White Horse Knight had never met again.
Two years passed in a flash, and it was July again.
"Hisser Spitrochu, how does this robot feel?"
"Yes, although it is not as flexible as before and cannot control a single finger, it is enough to allow me to hold the sword again."
"Is the robot a robot such an inconvenient thing? If you are willing to accept the holy family and install a mountain copper spring for it..."
"You are really joking. I am already a vassal of the autocratic public. How can I become your holy family?"
"That's my rude." Horn tried casually, but he didn't succeed.
The White Horse Knight asked someone to take care of his luggage and handover, and led Horn to a mansion.
This place was originally a monastery, but it was confiscated and auctioned out by Meliati during the Battle of Cod Fort.
When I returned to the Lengquan Town Office, this place had become the main venue of the North Munde County Ordnance Guild.
In the war, Moriyati forcibly dismantled the Ordnance Guild, so this place became a mansion for high-ranking nobles and distinguished guests.
After Horn arrived, the White Horse Knights expelled all other nobles living in the mansion as directed by Meliati, and were completely settled by the Patriarch's team.
Along the way, riding a tall horse, Horn waved and looked around as he was watching the crowd of residents.
Lengquan Fort is located in the southern valley where the Silver Line River, a tributary of the Ibe River, passes through. When the Silver Line River passes through the Cold Quan Mountain, it is wrapped in an Ω shape.
As the water flow eroded, the outer river water washed away the south bank, and the river channel became more and more southerly, creating a wide river beach at the foot of Lengquan Mountain.
When looking back, you can still see the rolling mountains opposite the Silver Line River.
Returning his head, you can see the black smoke like pillars rising from various smelting stations, blacksmith shops and Lengquanbao smelting plants.
Lengquan Mountain is an extension of the Amethyst Mountains, which can produce a large amount of iron ore.
Along the Silver Line River, there are mines and mining towns along the way. These ores are transported to nearby smelting sites for smelting through convenient water conservancy conditions. With the water conservancy highway, North Munde County can develop such a smelting and forging industry.
If the freight costs are more expensive than ore prices like in the past Nitan Township, we will basically say goodbye to the metallurgical industry.
According to the report given by the local priest, the number of people employed in the metallurgy in North Mundt County accounts for as high as 5%, of which 70% of the smelting stations are around Lengquan Castle.
Lengquan Fort exports about 3,200 tons of iron material to Qianhe Valley every year, and it is difficult to count small private mines and blacksmith shops.
I have to say that there are nearly 100 smelting stations in North Munde County, plus the Lengquan Fort smelting plant, only 1,000 tons can be used evenly for Horn.
This is the yield after the dwarf joins it!
In other words, it is equivalent to an average of about 40 tons of iron produced per smelting institute every year.
Compared with the fire method iron smelting in Horn's hometown, the wet method iron smelting in this world is too low.
Since the process of the chemical iron-soaking method cannot be improved, it can only improve production efficiency from other aspects.
But this is the cost, and the output ratio is far less than that of the blast furnace iron smelting in Horn's hometown.
After the hillside, you can see a circle of brick and stone walls after walking about a hundred steps.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Behind the fence is a three-story wooden building, which is what Spitrochu calls the "mansion".
When he arrived in the mansion, Spitrochu had just commanded his servants to put down his luggage, and Horn said directly: "Why did Meliati tell you?"
This caught Spitrochu off guard.
According to normal etiquette, shouldn’t you live for one day and then have a banquet tomorrow night to exchange feelings, and then talk about the main things on the third morning?
The Patriarch didn't have any foreplay, so he just poked it.
After calming down, he asked the servant to bring two cups of black tea. The White Horse Knight said: "Muriati told me that I would do my best to cooperate with your actions, but there is a bottom line, that is, the North Munde County cannot be in chaos.
Like what you do in Black Snake Bay, you must never allow the appropriation of the five mountain counties. ”
”How do you define chaos? "Horn faced the old knight's vigilant gaze and took a sip of black tea, "For example, is it called chaos to lead troops to attack the noble castle in chaos? "
"Of course, isn't this kind of thing just a slap in the face of His Royal Highness the Lord? "
The White Horse Knights flatly refused.
Muriati has transferred the basic board of the Mountain Knights to Hotam County, but North Mund County is still the base camp.
The nobles echoed each other and were originally opposed to Horn's steel policy.
If Horn makes any more trouble for Cheka to arrest the nobles, wouldn't it make Meliati feel embarrassed?
"What if it is evidence of guilt?"
"The low-level nobles are acceptable. If it is a high-level noble, only Meliati or you will come forward in person." Spitrochu looked at Horn's eyes, "Are you sure you want to exercise this power here?"
"Then I understand." Horn's eyes smiled with his mouth, making Spitrochu confused.
"Then let me give you another example, for example, if the low-level nobles attack the high-level noble castle, or the dwarf craftsman attack the dwarf master workshop?"
Spitrochu's hands trembled while drinking tea, almost splashing the tea on his face.
He wiped his face with a handkerchief in a mess, and was shocked and angry: "What are you trying to do?"
"It's not my head, right?" Horn stirred the black tea with a spoon, "If the mess was not caused by me, then Mr. Moriyati would not have to make things difficult for both sides, right?"
"I beg you not to do this!"
"Who said I was going to do this? Don't slander me."
The White Horse Knight looked at Horn suspiciously for a long time before slowly sitting down: "So, are you sure that these things will not happen?"
"Of course, we are friends." Horn drank black tea with a smile, "I promise that this would never happen during my time at Cold Spring Castle."
