Those who wanted to quit had already left long ago, and those who stayed thought they were suitable here and wanted to continue serving the lord.

Although the punishment is terrible, the rewards are also very generous, as long as you don't make mistakes.

"very good."

After confirming that no one would quit, Viscount Jarvis organized the team according to the plan.

More than 400 men are counted as a battalion. It consists of eight brigades, namely four pike brigades, three musketry brigades and an artillery brigades.

Among them, the Lancers are the transitional troops.

When the number of muskets and artillery increases in the future, corresponding training will be carried out and they will be adapted into musketeers or artillery teams.

Kadir was naturally assigned to the Musketeers. Due to his outstanding performance, he was promoted to squad leader.

This was nothing, Blue was promoted to the captain of the artillery team. No one had any objections to this, after all, not long ago he had a remarkable military exploit that killed the Carrion Sandworm and saved the lord.

In addition, the tents in the camp will also be redistributed according to the new establishment, with two classes using one tent.

It is worth mentioning that the knights and their retinues in Border Guard Town were also incorporated into the People's Army. Most of them held officer positions of squad leader and above.

All the small pieces of land in the hands of these knights were taken back by Owen.

No tough recycling methods were used because most of their original land was affected by the curse and was almost abandoned and unmanaged.

There is no income if you continue to hold it, so many knights are willing to hand over their barren land in exchange for compensation from the lord.

As for the title of knight, it will be retained forever as an honor.

From now on, no new knights will appear in Border Guard Town.

By the way, there is also the territory of Viscount Jarvis.

Irving drew a big pie and promised that any new gun developed in the future would be given as a gift, and then he obtained the land development rights from him.

At this point, a large number of territories in and around Bianzhu Town have been consolidated by Owen into his own hands, and he can finally use his skills with confidence and boldness.

On the other side, Viru's home.

Recently, Weiru has completed many tasks assigned by the lord.

After repairing the city wall, he then repaired several dilapidated houses in the northern area of ​​Border Guard Town, and built several wooden sheds that could protect against wind and snow as winter residences for the lizard people.

By the way, he also built the walls of the public cemetery temporarily.

Whenever he has free time, Weiru will sit at the table and read and study like he does now.

He was flipping through a book made of paper in his hand, which was a book about construction projects given to him by the lord.

At first, Viru scorned the book.

After all, he is a well-known stonemason in Bianshu Town. He thinks that he has mastered all the necessary construction knowledge and there is nothing left to learn.

Moreover, this book is not made of parchment, and the binding is very simple.

Although the plant paper produced by the lord is thin and light, it gives people a cheap and inferior feeling. It also makes people feel that since it is not copied on parchment, the content in the instruction manual is very low-end and not worth it.

Unexpectedly, Weilu opened it and took a casual look, and was deeply attracted by the various theoretical knowledge in the book.

It turns out that this is the case, and the problem can be solved in this way.

The knowledge in the book is very novel and eye-opening to Viru.

Curious about who wrote this book, he specifically asked the lord.

As a result, Owen behaved very mysteriously, and he just asked Velu to study hard, and he would soon be able to use the knowledge in the book.

The lord must be hiding something. However, Weiru does not intend to delve into this issue, so he might as well read the book.

The more in-depth he studied, the more he understood it.

He studied with his father, a stonemason, since he was a child. After hard training, he considered himself one of the top stonemasons in the kingdom.

Now it seems that my knowledge is still too shallow and I should study harder.

At this moment, Weiru's wife came over and called out: "Dear..."

"Shh - be quiet!" Vilu frowned and stretched out his fingers to make a shushing gesture, "Don't disturb me, I'm studying."

"But there are people sent by the lord outside to look for you." Weiru's wife said helplessly.

"Lord Marquis? That's okay."

In this case, Weiru had no choice but to reluctantly close the book, put it in the drawer with great care, and then walked outside.

When he learned that the lord had summoned him, he hurried to the castle with the sent bodyguards.

Entering the office where Irving was, Viru stroked his chest and asked, "My Lord Marquis, what do you want to see me for?"

"It's finally here, come and take a look."

After calling the other party over, Owen took out several architectural drawings from the drawer and placed them on the table.

Vilu picked up one at random. At first glance, it looked like a tall tower? No! The internal structure was somewhat similar to a furnace in a blacksmith shop. It should be used to burn something.

"Is this a very tall furnace?"

Since Weiru was not sure, it would be better to ask if he was sure.

"Yes, this is a blast furnace, used to smelt iron ore. Similar to this, there is this one." Owen found another drawing, "This is a furnace cellar, used to bake cement and clay bricks."

The cement workshop has reopened long ago.

Unfortunately, the small workshop's production capacity is ultimately limited, and Owen needs to build a new furnace to increase production.

In addition, the blueprint of this furnace cellar was specially designed by experts from Winster. There is a place outside for fire magicians to conveniently perform magic, so that magic can be used for production operations.

However, the number of fire magicians is currently insufficient, so production can only rely on traditional methods for the time being.

The reason why a large amount of building materials are needed is because Owen wants to build a brand new border town.

"oh……"

Weiru nodded and went to check other drawings.

The next picture is a three-story rectangular building. Each floor is composed of ten large rooms neatly arranged in a row. The large room is also divided into several small rooms. The outside is connected by a long corridor with stairs at both ends.

.

It is worth mentioning that each large room in the drawing has almost the same shape.

"This again?"

"Apartments, you can understand them as large buildings that allow multiple families to live together."

Later, Irving revealed his construction plan: "I plan to renovate the entire Bianzhu Town, demolish all the wooden houses and adobe houses, and rebuild them into this type of brick houses, so that the people in the town can live together.

One piece. In this way, a spacious street can be left, everyone lives in the same building, and it will also facilitate future water supply, heating, and even electricity."

Just hearing about the renovation of the town shocked Viru so much that he didn't listen carefully to what Owen said next.

"It is such a huge construction project. It takes a lot of time. It cannot be completed without decades of effort." Weiru said firmly.

"Indeed." Owen nodded, "That's why I asked you to recruit more apprentices and train them carefully. Next, there will be more construction projects in Bianzhu Town, and you alone are not enough."

Not only Viru, Owen also asked the blacksmiths in the town to recruit more apprentices, and give a certain reward for each additional apprentice.
Chapter completed!
