King’s Kingdom

However, although the gap exists, it is not very big. There is a shortage of 1,200 sets of chain armor and 400 sets of tie armor. It only takes more than two months to complete the construction.

In the past two years, the apprentices of those blacksmiths have grown up and will not be killed, and a large number of people have directly become qualified blacksmiths. Theodosius not only promised that those blacksmiths would not lose their jobs for the rest of their lives in order to build the country's military equipment. , and also set up a huge bounty of one Dawning Gold coin for one apprentice.

In this way, in order to reward money, the apprentices who had to study for at least seven or eight years became apprentices one after another in just two years. , the speed of apprenticeship is very fast.

It can be said that the master-disciple system of learning art like father and son was completely destroyed by Theodosius' bounty system, but he liked it. The internal rapid diffusion, so as to promote the progress of technology.

Of course, it is impossible not to pay any price. The price of these blacksmith apprentices' fast learning is borne by the monarch Theodosius, but they must also pay the price.

Theodosius paid the price of a Dawning Gold Coin for them to learn the technology, and in return, they had to be deducted 20% of their salary within five years to repay the debt they owed.

Apprentices are naturally indispensable for this. In the past, they never wanted such an opportunity. Now they just pay some salaries. Originally, the blacksmiths of the Lanyin Kingdom were a rare high-paying job, and they could not ask for it.

However, it is worth mentioning that the output of the iron mines in the Lanyin Kingdom is not keeping up with the production speed of the blacksmiths, and there is a slight deficit in iron stock and mineral output.

This is a very bad signal, which means that the steel reserves in the warehouse are declining at a slow rate.

This was something Theodosius had to figure out a way to solve. The problem of food had never occurred in the Rhine Kingdom. Whether it was before or now, there has never been a famine or a shortage of food.

Now, in many warehouses in the entire Lanyin Kingdom, the amount of grain that has been stored throughout the year has reached one million tons. This million tons are wheat flour and shelled beans that are easy to store and have a slightly longer shelf life. There are at least 1.3 million tons of grain milled from the shell, which is a huge stock.

The Lanyin Kingdom has never had such an exaggerated grain storage in the past. It is quite outrageous to have 100,000 tons in the granary. After all, the scale of the army in the past was not large, and there were not many livestock. The source of meat was only a small part of the royal family. , mostly relying on hunting.

But now, the land of the Lanyin Kingdom has become larger, the population has become larger, the army has become stronger, and the consumption of food will naturally be more. In order to prevent natural and man-made disasters, these food must be stored, and generally not Inventory used.

The mobilization of the army, the raising of livestock, the breeding of war horses, and the distribution of salaries are all mobilizing food in other standing warehouses, and such granaries will not be moved.

October 20, 868 in the Hirkati calendar.

Theodosius was lying on his big bed that had been transformed and not so soft, frowning and browsing an official document in his hand, he was a little worried about the lack of iron ore production.

In all fairness, this kind of mining is a relatively high-risk and hard-working industry even in a society where productivity surged in his previous life, not to mention in this backward world.

The risks involved in going down into the mines are quite large, and they also face various diseases. Except for those who have been engaged in mining for generations, Theodosius is really unwilling to let his own people do this. kind of live.

In a country with a lack of people, King Lan Yin wanted to pin everyone on his belt, even if anyone died, it would be a very serious matter.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you something!" Critidos just finished taking a shower, and she threw herself on the big bed in a white bathrobe, came to Zai Theodosius, and gently poked poked his arm.

"Why?" Theodosius didn't lift his eyes. The two had been married for two years, and the feeling of shyness and caution had long since disappeared.

"My father said in the letter that he planned to visit for a while, what do you say?" Critidos handed over a papyrus.

"Father? Why did he think he came here at this time? Has the enemy on the grassland been resolved? If you need help, you don't need to do it yourself... Oh, so that's the case. Father, he is really brave and good at fighting!"

Theodosius just wanted to say that he could also help his father-in-law to fight, but the content of the letter succeeded in making Theodosius shut up, because Beauliet Khan wrote in the letter that in recent years in the grasslands Under one of his raids, the kingdom of Belikav, which was his enemy, died of the khan, and the leaders loyal to the khan were either captured or beheaded.

He has already taken over the population and pasture cattle and sheep of the Belikev Kingdom, and the entire Milos Kingdom has a territory of 1.02 million square kilometers, a population of 160,000, a professional army of 12,000, and all They are all cavalry soldiers who come and go like the wind.

"Of course, my father has always been a wise and powerful hero!" Kritidos's face had a smile that couldn't be concealed~www.readwn.com~ He is the daughter of Bollet Khan Be proud.

"But I'm not bad, aren't I?" Theodosius grabbed his wife's arm, dragged her into his arms, and said closer.

"Yes yes, you are also very strong, my husband is the best monarch in the world!" Critidos was very casual when facing Theodosius, because he never put on the air of a monarch, And he also enjoys such an intimate emotional exchange. He doesn't like the kind of monarch's harem that is too high.

And after such a long time together, Theodosius has become the soul mate of Lycritedos.

"But I'm very curious. Shouldn't my father continue to sit in town at this time to stabilize the situation and prevent people with ulterior motives from causing chaos? Why does he have time to come to us?"

"Didn't you think the army was not enough last time, so I talked to my father. He seemed to say that he would come over there at an opportunity, maybe he could give us some soldiers. I don't know, and my father also wants to come and see if I'm doing well." Critidos glanced at Theodosius with a subtle expression.

"That's a good thing. The more soldiers, the better. I don't have to worry about not being able to support them. As long as it doesn't affect my father, the more soldiers I have here, the better..."

"However, what do you mean by that look? Am I not treating you well?" Theodosius sat up, put Critidos on the bed, and said condescendingly, "Although I often beat you, that Didn't you ask for it yourself? I have all my heart for you!"

"But I don't have any children yet. Does my father believe your nonsense?" Critidos said stubbornly with a blushing face.
