It didn't take Nalant much time to check and 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.
Nalant walked around the mill several times, and gave the final order to the craftsmen to open the gate and release the water. As the water wheel in the stream slowly turned, the big stone mill in the mill began to squeak and turn.
"Well, not bad!" Nalant nodded with satisfaction as he watched the wheat that was specially placed on the roller for demonstration being ground into fine pieces in just 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 be rewarded. You will all go to Mario Civil Affairs Officer later to receive five silver coins as a reward!"
"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!" Nalant immediately sent the masons away and kept the carpenters.
There are a total of five carpenters in his territory, but the other two carpenter brothers Larry and Raph have now specialized in making Wheelbarrow, so there are only three available carpenters.
"I have two drawings here. See if you can make them!"
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 also looked a little different.
For example, there is no long throwing rocker in this drawing, nor is there a huge load-bearing object.
Although they have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs running around, and they still know what a trebuchet looks like.
Now, they are somewhat unsure of what exactly is on the drawing, let alone making it.
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 the gaze of Nalant.
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?" Nalant naturally understood the difficulty of the carpenters, and immediately explained patiently.
"Did you see the rope in the middle? The power of the catapult's throwing mainly comes from the tightened rope. When it is time to launch the projectile, press down the throwing rocker and tighten the rope. When the switch is turned on, the rope will return to its original strength and the stone projectile 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 the same beef tendon as the long bow. In short, the more powerful it will be, the better!"
Nalant can actually only draw the appearance of the catapult and explain the principles. As for the materials selected, this still requires carpenters to conduct experiments themselves.
After Nalant's explanation, several 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 Mario Civil Affairs Officer 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 explained the principles to them in detail.
"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 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 the sentence, 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 three other women were already waiting in the square, talking to Raymond. Nalant waved to the three women.
The three women came over immediately after seeing them, and Raymond followed closely behind.
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
"Yeah!" Nalant nodded, then looked at Raymond, "Raymond, do you have a problem with me?"
"Sir, Raymond said that his people have missed their families 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 people there themselves without bothering you!"
Raymond has heard Catherine talk about how Nalant dealt with Quinte Territory's guards, and he is very grateful to Nalant.
In addition, they had received many rewards the day before yesterday, so originally they did not want to rush the lord.
But 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 solve this matter for them as soon as possible!"
"Ding, system side mission, bring all the old, weak, women and children in the Raymond Tribe back to Storm Territory!"
"Mission reward: two new species!"
Thanks to "book friend 20180328123904703" and "cat fart ghost" for their rewards!!!
