Kelly, who was in tears, was dragged away by Feilin. After regaining her composure, my father and two brothers looked at me with obvious blame, which made me feel a little uneasy and guilty.
"Let's continue our topic." After a while, his father broke the dull atmosphere: "Cohen, have you figured out a way?"
"The gap of hundreds of thousands of funds cannot be filled by just wanting to fill it." The eldest brother continued: "That's a lot of money!"
"But wouldn't the towns that Cohen built around the Dark City in advance be able to alleviate some of the burden?" The second brother said, "Why is it still so difficult?"
"Those small towns mainly provide food for the construction site." I lowered my head and said: "Even if they are built in half a year, and under the dark agricultural production growth cycle of two crops a year, it will not be completed until the second year.
A certain amount of food can be provided, and no accidents can occur in the meantime."
"Then do we have other ways?" The elder brother asked: "For example, we can let the dwarves expand the sales of weapons. In addition, can't the rare ores in the dark forest also be sold?"
"Because we need to build an army in the dark, there are not enough craftsmen from the dwarves." As the discussion got down to business, my mood gradually improved and my thinking gradually became clearer, and I began to explain in detail: "I have seen the gift from the elf aunt.
The ore samples that came are divided into two types, real good stuff! It can be used both for military and civilian purposes. Such good stuff cannot fall into the hands of outsiders under any circumstances!"
"Then what should we do?" the second brother said worriedly.
"I plan to go back as soon as the wedding is over." I thought about it briefly. Since I was interrupted by Kelly not long ago, what I said now was what I just thought of: "Reasonably allocate the selected craftsmen and
Training, and do our best to make them work at their highest efficiency, in order to shorten the construction period and reduce cost input. On the other hand, I want to gather all the dwarf weapon craftsmen and produce them according to a new model. In the short term
Provide enough equipment for the new army within the country. If successful, more weapons can be sold to reduce some of our burdens."
"In the short term?" My father smiled unexpectedly and asked me, "How to do it?"
"I discovered a big problem for the dwarves when they were making weapons." I stood up and took off the sword and explained to everyone: "Look at this sword, just from the perspective of a sword, it is perfect, almost
There are no shortcomings, which shows that the dwarves are unrivaled in their ability to manufacture metal items and their understanding of weapons! However, their excessive pursuit of perfection caused them to spend too much time on one weapon, resulting in a huge waste of manpower.
, which also increases the cost virtually. Such a sword requires three people to spend ten days or more to complete! And on the battlefield, the consumption of weapons is very large. Obviously, such a production method cannot satisfy us.
needs.”
"I roughly understand what you mean."
The father stood up and paced: "But shortening the time will inevitably affect the quality of the weapons. In this case, what is the difference between the weapons produced by dwarves and those produced by ordinary craftsmen?"
"Of course it's not just about shortening the time!" I took out the sword with my hands and laid it flat on the table. "It takes dozens of processes to make such a sword. The main processes include material selection and smelting."
, purify, make...and it was completed by several people together, even the scabbard is like this."
"That's how it should be." The eldest brother said, "What's so strange?"
"In this case, the whole process must be presided over by an outstanding person. But how many good craftsmen are there?" I said: "He must be good at all processes and techniques! This is not something that ordinary people can achieve through hard work, it requires amazing
Only his talent and intelligence can do it! The consequence is that the entire dwarf race now has only one master swordsmith! The swords he handles are naturally high-quality, but there are not many. The swords made by others are not only inferior in quality, but also time-consuming.
It’s also delayed a lot.”
"What changes are you making about this model?" my father asked me.
"Yes!" I replied with certainty: "Let's first select someone who is good at one of the processes. It doesn't have to be comprehensive, as long as he is specialized! He is only responsible for one process and does not need to worry about the others. This is included
Design, material selection, etc. The user of the weapon puts forward the performance requirements for all aspects of the weapon, and people who are good at design design it. Then the general manager... is a person like a master, who issues instructions to various processes based on the design.
Manufacturing Instructions and Performance Standards.”
"Starting from the selection of materials, everyone strictly follows the instructions of the general manager. The ore selected according to the standard requirements is sent to be smelted, and then sent to be purified and crafted... How long, heavy, thick, and sharp is a weapon?
, flexibility, all have clear indicators. Everyone works under standards, a weapon flows through the hands of dozens of people like water, and every craftsman encountered has the exquisite skills of a master..."
"What's the benefit?" The second brother said, holding his head: "It takes dozens of people to fight a sword like this!"
"Really?" I was amused by my second brother.
"Sure enough, a good idea!" Father slapped his hand on the table: "Let the craftsmen specialize in one thing and concentrate on production. It will not only increase the output without reducing the quality, but also quickly train good craftsmen. What a good idea!"
"In this case." The elder brother who understood it said: "Not only can the quantity meet your needs, but it can also be sold in large quantities!"
"Yes!" I said: "You can make a lot of money!"
"Hey!" The second brother didn't understand yet: "What's the benefit of that?"
"Sifta, think about it." The father smiled and said to the second brother: "Why did Cohen say that weapons flow like water through the hands of dozens of craftsmen?"
"I understand!" The second brother jumped up and said loudly: "Continuously! Everyone is working non-stop!"
"Yes." I also laughed: "This is called assembly line production!"
"When did your head become so useful?" The second brother tapped my head with his finger: "Find another way to get rid of the remaining money!"
"Stop..." I covered my head and said, "It hurts!"
"That's right!" The father stopped the second brother: "What should I do with the rest of the money?"
"I have thought of all the ways I can think of." I shook my head weakly: "There is no other way I can think of..."
"Really? I think this is good." My father said, "You can go to Wanpu City to have a look."
"Dad, I have also thought about that commercial city." I said: "But the money there is only enough to improve Wanpu's own unbalanced development."
"You'd better go take a look and talk about it. Maybe you can solve it with your brain!" The father said with a smile: "That's it!"
"Okay..." It seemed that was all I could do, so I nodded helplessly.
"Lek, Shifta!" the father said to the two brothers: "Your people must arrive as soon as possible."
"no problem!"
"We'll do it as soon as we get back!"
"Cohen! My people here will go back with you." My father said and then said to me: "I think it is necessary to build the road from the dark to the dark moon first. I will take care of this matter. After you go to Wanpu, I will
I will come and take over your command on the construction site."
"Dad is here." I said happily, "Of course it won't be a problem!"
"Then..." Dad looked at everyone and said, "If there is nothing else, let's stop here." Everyone nodded, indicating that there was nothing else.
"About your attitude towards Kelly just now..." My father looked at me and said, "I'm very dissatisfied. Why don't you explain it?"
"I...that...I." I had nothing to say, so I was thinking about how to drag it over. My two brothers were waiting for my answer. "She will soon be your wife. I hope you will be happy under any circumstances."
Everyone will give her enough respect." My father said to me seriously: "Of course, whether the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious depends on the efforts of both parties. But I still hope you will do better."
"I got it! I'm going to apologize right now!" I "escaped" like a flying bird, pretending not to hear my father asking me to stop.
Outside Kelly's room, Feilin and Wen Sili were knocking on the door anxiously and calling Kelly's name. When they saw me walking over, the two of them stopped. Wen Sili looked at me angrily, and Felin
He shook his head helplessly at me.
"How's it going?" I asked.
"Lock yourself in and cry!" Felin answered me.
"It's all you! We don't care, you can think of a way." Wen Sili picked up Feilin and left: "If Kelly doesn't forgive you, you won't have a bride tomorrow!"
"Hey!" Before I could say anything, the two of them ran away laughing and joking... No way, they formed an offensive and defensive alliance so quickly?
"Kelly, open the door." For the sake of a happy life in the future, I started to knock on the door: "It's me."
"Who are you! I don't know you!" From the voice, you could tell that Kelly was still angry. There was a "pop" and someone didn't know what object hit the door.
"I am Cohen." I said: "Cohen Keda, your fiancé."
"No! No, no!" Another thing was classified as "waste" with a "pop" sound.
"Okay." I continued to knock on the door: "Let me in."
"No! No, no, no!" The young lady had a really bad temper: "I won't open it!"
In the following time, no matter how hard I tried to explain, Kelly would not give in. In the end, she only answered me with "pop" and "pop" sounds.
I don’t know how other people solved this situation. Anyway, I carefully calculated the total value of all the items left in Kelly’s room that could make a “pop” sound, and compared it with the value of a door.
After comparing the values, he kicked the door open.
"You!" Kelly, who was crying so hard, thought of me doing this. She was half lying on the bed and couldn't find anything to say for a moment.
"go out!"
"Joke!" I walked to the bed and sat down: "Isn't it a waste of time to kick the door out now?"
"My dear wife." Looking at Kelly, I began to use my magic weapon: "Look at my feet, they are all red."
"Who cares about you!" Kelly didn't even look back at me: "I'm not your wife yet."
"Yes, yes, yes." I said with a playful smile: "I know you miss your girlish feelings! Some people say that the girl who is about to be married is the most beautiful, and it is true."
Kelly didn't argue, just lowered her head and ignored me.
"Kelly, it's my fault today." I said to her softly, "I'm sorry."
Seeing Kelly's shoulders start to twitch slightly again, I knew that this was just the right thing to say, and I screamed "yes" in my heart!
"Forgive me." I said, "I'm very sincere."
"No." Although she was still refusing, Kelly's tone was much softer.
"Then how can you forgive me?" I asked her.
"I won't forgive..." Kelly was turning her head to speak to me, but she was amused by the grimace I made and laughed out loud.
"Disgusting!" Kelly could no longer act angry: "This is how you apologize to others. You are the governor now, not a child!"
"What does it matter?" I said: "Who told you to be Kelly? As long as you are happy, it doesn't matter if I pretend to be this!"
"You were talking to me like that just now." Kelly said, "Now it's changed so quickly! How can you tell me to believe you!"
"Didn't I come to apologize to you?" I said with a smile: "Can you just forgive me this time? In fact... we all grew up together. You don't know what kind of character I am? I know just now
I'm very exaggerated, and I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe my life is changing too fast, or maybe I'm under a lot of pressure during this time..."
"Is that you?" She said: "That's not you, that's not the Cohen I know. Cohen won't lose his temper!"
"Let's do this!" I said, "We all promise each other that from now on, no one can lose their temper. Even if we are very angry and can't control ourselves, we must stop immediately."
"As long as you can do it!" Kelly said, "I don't care, I will lose my temper if I want to!"
"Okay, I promise you, you can lose your temper with me." I said, "As a punishment for my bad temper today, I will just do this in the future!"
"That's what you said!"
"Yes, this is a promise. My promise to you, my dear wife."
"Originally, I came here to joke with you." Kelly lightly hit me on the shoulder with her fist: "As long as you say a few words, they will tell you. In fact, my sister and I have no objection to this matter.
of……"
"It was my fault." After hearing Kelly's words, I couldn't help but feel deeply sorry for Kelly: "Forgive me!"
"If you do this again..." Kelly looked at me and said, "I will never forgive you again!"
"Let me tell you! Kelly will definitely forgive Cohen!" Before I could answer, Feline and Wensley walked in from the door hand in hand: "Okay, okay, Cohen, get out quickly! We still have
We have to prepare for tomorrow!" (To be continued)
