It did not take Narante much time to accept the mill. After all, the quality of the mill was built by the craftsmen who tried their best.
Whether the quality of the mill is good or not, to put it harshly, is a matter of whether they have a good head or not, and no one dares to neglect it.
If there is a quality problem and the lord is unhappy, it would be unjust to drop them in the square and use them as flags.
Narant walked around the mill several times and gave the final order to the craftsmen to open the gate and release the water. As the waterwheel in the stream slowly turned, the big stone mill in the mill began to squeak and turn.
"Well, not bad!" Narant nodded with satisfaction as he saw that the wheat that was specially placed on the roller for demonstration was ground into fine pieces in a short time.
Several craftsmen finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Come here, you guys!" Nalant ordered the craftsmen.
"Lord, the villain is here!"
"I said last time that after the mill is built, everyone will get a reward. You will all go to the Civil Affairs Officer Mario to receive five silver coins as a reward later!"
"Thank you, Lord, for the reward! Thank you, Lord, for the reward!" Several craftsmen immediately beamed with joy and knelt on the ground to thank them.
"Well, you and the masons can go and leave the carpenters first!" Narant immediately dismissed the masons and kept the carpenters.
There are a total of five carpenters in his territory, but the other two carpenter brothers Larry and Raf have now specialized in making wheelbarrows, so there are only three available carpenters.
"I have two drawings here. See if you can make one!"
After hearing this, the three carpenters honestly took the drawings and looked at them.
However, when the three carpenters looked at it for a while, their expressions changed slightly.
This first drawing was of a trebuchet. They looked at the car in the picture and it looked a bit like the legendary trebuchet, but it was a little different. For example, there was no long throwing rocker on this drawing, nor was there the huge trebuchet.
Heavy objects.
Although they have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs running around, and they still know what a trebuchet looks like.
Now they are not sure what the functions of the things on the drawings are, let alone making them.
Of course, even if it was a real drawing of a trebuchet, they felt guilty. They had heard before that only the most skilled old carpenters could make a good trebuchet.
Several people did not dare to say anything immediately, and began to look at the second drawing under Nalant's gaze.
When they saw this drawing, several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the long bow on this drawing is weird, it is just a matter of enlarging the long bow and adding a groove in the middle of the long bow to store arrows. This is not a difficult task.
As carpenters, they can also make longbows, no matter how powerful and quality they are, but with their experience, at least they won't be blind.
As for the small wooden cart below, it's not a problem at all, and it's easy to get.
"How is it?" Nalant saw the expressions of the three carpenters in his eyes.
"Lord, your first drawing looks like... it looks like a trebuchet placed on a car... but it doesn't look like it at all!" The three carpenters looked at each other, and finally the older one answered the question.
"This is called a trebuchet. It has the same effect as a trebuchet, and its structure is clear at a glance. I believe your biggest doubt is how to launch it?" Narant naturally understood the difficulty of the carpenters, and immediately explained patiently.
"See the rope in the middle? The power for catapult throwing mainly comes from this rope that has been tightened. When it is time to launch projectiles, press down the throwing rocker arm, tighten the rope more tightly, and wait for the switch
Once opened, the rope will return to its original strength and the stone bullets will be ejected!"
"Of course, you need to try the material of this twisted rope. It may be hemp rope, or it may be made of beef tendon like a longbow. In short, the more powerful it will be, the better!"
In fact, Narant could only draw the appearance of the catapult and explain the principles. As for the materials selected, this still required the carpenters to conduct their own experiments.
After Nalant's explanation, the carpenters finally understood the principle and function of the catapult.
"By the way, there is also a real trebuchet in the castle. You can ask Civil Affairs Officer Mario to take you to see it up close later. This will be more helpful for you in making this trebuchet."
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
"Now let me talk about the ballista below. Its structure is similar to that of a longbow, but it has a lock..." Although it can be seen that the carpenters are more confident in the ballista, Nalant still gave details.
They explained the principles.
"Okay, this time you go back and try to make the ballista first. After the ballista is successfully made, you can then start researching the catapult!" After the explanation, Nalant immediately explained, "This time, I can tell you clearly that as long as
If these two things are made to my satisfaction, then each of you will be rewarded with a gold coin!"
"Yes, Lord! Thank you Lord for your generosity!" Upon hearing this reward, the faces of the three carpenters immediately turned red.
The reward is a gold coin. They have never experienced the feeling of holding a gold coin in their hands in their entire lives.
"Well, but one thing you need to remember is that these two drawings and related information are not allowed to be disclosed to anyone. If they are disclosed..." Nalant did not finish his words, but his expression became serious.
After hearing this, the three carpenters immediately shrank their necks and immediately promised: "Lord, we promise not to reveal it, not even my wife will know!"
"Very good! Go ahead! If you have any difficulties, please contact me through the civil affairs officer at any time!"
After sending the carpenter away, Vivian and the other three women were already waiting in the square, talking to Raymond about something. Nalant waved to the three women.
The three women came over immediately after seeing them, and Raymond followed closely behind.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
"Yes!" Nalant nodded, then looked at Raymond, "Lemon, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Sir, Raymond said that his people have missed their families a little these days. I wonder when you will pick up their families!"
"They know that the lord is very busy, but they are really worried! If that doesn't work, they can send some of them themselves without bothering you!"
Raymond had already heard from Catherine how Nalant dealt with Quint's guards, and he was very grateful to Nalant in his heart.
In addition, they had received many rewards the day before yesterday, so originally they did not want to rush the lord.
But their family matters were really the most urgent thing on their minds, so they embarrassedly mentioned it to Catherine, hoping to ask Catherine to ask them tactfully.
"Ding! The barbarians have now become your subjects, and they have gradually fallen in love with this territory that is full of kindness to them. However, their wives and children still stay on the grassland, which makes them a little restless! As a lord,
You need to resolve this for them ASAP!"
"Ding, the system side mission is to bring all the old, weak, women and children of the Raymond tribe back to the Storm Territory!"
