After settling the 'contract issue' between Will and the ten new serfs, David filled in all the information on the document recording the household registration information of Winter Village.
According to the information in this document, Winter Village is now a village with thirty permanent residents, and this list does not include Elizabeth.
"When Fording recruits Van Cleef's group of stonemasons, the population may exceed fifty."
Fifty people. I used to think that fifty people were nothing at all, but after joining the pioneering team, I learned a lot about the conditions in the villages and towns of the Tilan Kingdom.
With a population of fifty permanent residents, it is already considered a large village. If the various infrastructures planned by David are built, it will be the prototype of a small town.
"For a village to be truly upgraded to a town, it must have at least a few hundred permanent residents."
This is already the minimum standard: a few hundred people, sufficient infrastructure, and all conditions must be met to become a Winter Town. This is the goal that David wants to achieve next.
After finishing all these things, it was almost noon.
He put away the files that recorded various information about Cold Winter Village. As Cold Winter Village gradually developed, David realized that he needed to recruit civilian staff such as scribes. There would be more and more people in the future, and they needed to be sorted out.
There are more and more files, can I still be busy?
It was okay when it was a small village, but when it develops into a town, the things to be dealt with are not only numerous but also very complicated. It is definitely not possible to handle everything by yourself.
"No, it's a big guy." Laura didn't say what she wanted to transport, and deliberately showed a mysterious smile.
"Laura."
"What is that?" David's face was full of questions, not knowing what Laura was talking about.
"Besides, I'm about to arrive in Ironforge. You can take the subway from Ironforge directly to Stormwind City. After leaving Stormwind City, you can reach Westfall soon." The most difficult part of the journey is over, and the rest will be easy.
If there are many, the speed will naturally be faster.
"This..." Laura didn't expect David to ask this: "Theoretically, it's possible."
"certainly!"
Seeing David's indifferent expression, Laura suddenly felt that a lot of fun had been lost, and she simply said the answer: "It's a Weasel."
In addition, Will and Elizabeth also brought a new problem: language!
The two discussed for a while and decided on the division of labor: Laura would write the Common Language textbook for English studies, and David would write the Common Language textbook for Azeroth Common Language.
The two chatted for a few more words, then turned back to the 'main street'. Fording was now standing on this road that Mark jokingly called the first avenue in winter.
"Want to take a look?"
"So, you want me to compile a common language textbook?" Laura moved things back and forth, and when she saw that it was time for lunch, she stopped to take a rest, but was caught by David: "It's convenient.
Will you learn the language of this world?"
"It's not just Will, it will also be used in the future." There will be people coming over in the future. Directly producing this basic textbook is definitely the best choice. As for whether you are willing to learn it or not? It all depends on your personal wishes. David is not prepared to force it.
Implement.
David realized Fording was back, so he and Laura walked back to the front from the back of the cabin.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you brought a fighter jet over now."
David took two of them and weighed them in his hands. He was not thinking about choosing two new guns for himself, but thought of another question: "Do you think Will can make firearms purely by hand?"
?”
Not to mention the six war horses, the several pairs of armor worn by the cavalry are not unusual, but the armor worn by Gregory is a bit special.
"Just write this first." From the current point of view, textbooks for learning English as a common language are the highest priority project.
David also understands how troublesome this is and how uneconomical it is.
"What about Chinese?"
As for the custom-made firearm he longed for, he could use another method to solve it: make the request himself, and then let Laura find a top gunsmith to make one, which wouldn't cost much.
Laura guessed that David might want Will to make a firearm from scratch. It would not be a simple matter. Just having qualified materials would give the little blacksmith a headache.
It wasn't until Elizabeth sent ten serfs to Will that the daughter of the governor of Port Royal discovered that the official language in Winter Village was the lingua franca of this world, but everyone who was also a visitor from another world understood English.
She didn't realize this.
Now Will and Elizabeth's top priority is to learn the language of this world. Fortunately, including newcomers Peggy and Sharon, they all have strong learning abilities. Although they have not been here for a long time, they can already learn the language.
Use lingua franca for basic communication.
After discussing this matter, David became concerned about what Laura had been busy with these past two days.
In her world, there were many people engaged in this field of work. They could do it themselves, or a few people could set up a small workshop to take over special custom-made business: "It just requires specialized equipment and raw materials."
"..." David looked at Laura speechlessly, was he preparing for war?
But then I thought about it, the situation facing Winter Village now is no different from a war, so this doubt disappeared instantly, leaving only ecstasy.
Fording waved his hand and said it was nothing, handed the light cast iron to David, replenished some food and water, and then led the two horses back to Azeroth. Next, he would go all out and run to the west in one breath.
Let’s talk about the wilderness.
When Laura lifted one of the lids, David was first shocked, then surprised: "Machine gun?"
"Tirion, have you disposed of all those things?"
"There are still twenty pistols. Considering the power issue, the ones shipped this time are all Browning M1911 pistols, including a few for left hands." Having experienced the monster, Laura felt that those were too weak.
The pistol can be removed directly from the candidate list and will definitely not meet David's needs.
"Two M2 Browning machine guns, and enough bullets." Laura folded her arms and held her head high as she introduced David to her efforts during this period: "There are also ten HK416 assault rifles, each with
Additional barrels of various sizes can be replaced, as well as accessories including gun lights, various sights, grenade launchers and other accessories.”
“English learning lingua franca?”
Seeing Fording's figure disappear again, David remembered that he had promised to help Fording get a set of Chronicles.
"Don't worry about it yet..." David suddenly thought that he would need to use learning materials for the Common Language of Azeroth and the Common Language of this world. But in this regard, he could only do it himself. After all, in the village except Dai Dai
Wei, Fordring is the only one who understands the common language of Azeroth, and Fordring is currently riding a horse in Azeroth on the way to Westfall.
I followed Laura to a temporary wooden shed, just 'behind' Laura's wooden house, which is to the north of the wooden house.
Only then did she understand that the biggest obstacle between Will and the ordinary villagers in Winter Village was not that Will did not have contact with them, but that he could not communicate at all due to the language barrier.
Putting the two pistols back into the box, David discovered that Laura had left a large open space in the wooden shed, and there should be something more to be transported.
In fact, when Fording said the name Lightcast Iron, he already knew what it was! After all, he once had the painful experience of killing dozens of murlocs in a row but not a single piece of Lightcast Iron fell. The memory was too deep.
I can't forget it even if I want to.
"Yes, I have disposed of them all. Those things are much more valuable than I expected."
Rather than spending time and energy to train a young blacksmith into a half-baked engineer, it is better to let him use his expertise to make full use of his value.
"Gregory's armor seems to be mixed with some kind of special metal, which makes the armor very hard and tough. It was valued by a dwarf blacksmith and bought it for a high price." Fording briefly summarized this.
In this transaction, not only were two top war horses exchanged, but there were even some extra goodies.
A few days have passed since Fording brought all kinds of 'criminal evidence' to Azeroth. It seems that Fording has dealt with all those things. The two horses Fording is holding at this time are not David and the others.
Any captured war horse.
"Thanks a lot."
It was precisely because none of the three captains had any language barriers that led David to ignore this matter. He had no special solution for this except asking Will to study hard.
"Good stuff!"
"Light cast iron, this metal itself has sacred properties, it is a very special metal." According to Fording's description, some paladins and priests like to add this metal when forging weapons or armor. Fording specially added
When I got this thing back, it was obviously for David: "You can consider using these light cast irons to make a handy weapon... Oh, bows and arrows may not work."
Azeroth's top warhorse means that in addition to being able to carry a knight dressed like a can on its back for long distances and launching a charge at any time, it can also make itself look like an iron can and wear a strong armor.
Heavy armor. As for the extra reward Fording mentioned, they were a few pieces of metal he took out from the bag hanging on his horse.
"What kind of metal is this?" David was not an expert in this field. There was no need to pretend to look at it for a long time. When Fording took it out, he directly asked for the answer.
"Is there anything else that hasn't arrived? More bullets and grenades?"
"You'll know after a while." Laura still didn't explain what a 'weasel' was in the end, but she estimated that David would be able to figure out what it was after she brought some parts over.
"What's up?"
"Can you buy Warcraft Chronicles there?" David thought for a while and added: "If possible, buy a set of Warcraft games as well."
"Do you want to install a stand-alone version of World of Warcraft?" Laura understood what David was going to do.
"Of course! Remember to install each expansion pack separately."
