After the transformation of the three farms was completed, Arthur gathered all the poultry in the farm, hired villagers to manage it and directly set up a farm.

    Although a farm has been set up, the output is not too high. It is only enough to supply the castle and military barracks. For the time being, it can not be sold abroad.

    As the saying goes, "when the cannon rings, there is ten thousand liang of gold". The army is a gold eater.

    Although Arthur knew this truth and was ready to burn money, he didn''t understand the terrible cost of the army until he really established an army.

    Not counting the daily expenses, the weapons, equipment and horses of 100 soldiers alone exceed 50 gold coins!

    Arthur really couldn''t afford to support these 100 people without setting up an iron ore Bureau in advance and completing the transformation of the farm.

    No wonder at first, when he said he wanted to form a new army, there was no support from the people around him.

    The army, he can spend money!

    Looking at Arthur frowning, as if with a sad face, Gustav stopped talking.

    It''s not that Gustav is not doing well. There are so many weapons and equipment that he can''t finish forging in a month or two.

    Mining is OK. There are more than 200 slaves in the iron mine. The iron ore mined every day can smelt at least hundreds of kilograms of pig iron.

    However, pig iron cannot be directly used to forge equipment and weapons. It must be tempered.

    In order to fulfill Arthur''s request as soon as possible, he Gustav didn''t use his mind less. Those blacksmiths now have at least several disciples.

    "Arthur, it''s not my fault! If I could, I wish I were a blacksmith." Gustav looked sincere at Arthur who was silent.

    "You, blacksmith?" taking back his thoughts, Arthur glanced at Gustav. "You''d better forget it. It''s your figure and appearance. I think the butcher is more suitable for you. Otherwise, I''ll take you to the farm. There''s a shortage of people there."

    "Butcher... Butcher?" Gustav stared with small eyes. "Arthur, I''m your most loyal friend. You can''t do this to me! And I''m old and panting for two steps."

    Although he knew Arthur wouldn''t really let himself be a butcher, Gustav said with an exaggerated look.

    "You''re so fat that you don''t have much breathing."

    Being run by Arthur, Gustav was not angry at all. Instead, he patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Hey, this is my hard-earned baby. I can guarantee that Bison''s armor will work and will not lend it!"

    "You''d better keep it for yourself." Arthur smiled and waved off the topic.

    Looking at Gustav, Arthur said positively, "the output of iron ore mountain is too low. Now we don''t think that once businessmen from all over the kingdom come, the low output of iron ore mountain will be a constraint on the development of Shanghe collar."

    "My friend, the output of pig iron is not low," Gustav explained, worried about Arthur''s unknown situation. "According to your request, there have been several tons of pig iron stored in the warehouse of the iron ore bureau!"

    "Gustav, a little promising. We don''t even have enough pig iron for ourselves."

    "This, this is not enough?" Gustav was somewhat surprised by Arthur''s tone.

    If these pig irons are forged into weapons and armor, they can be equipped with at least thousands of knights. Will there be nearly thousands of knights in the Kingdom every year?

    Obviously not.

    "Civilians will also need iron products." Arthur casually explained to Gustav, who was surprised.

    "If we want to improve the output and efficiency of iron ore mountains, we need to reform the iron mines, both system and technology."

    "I know this, and I have reformed!"

    Gustav often heard Arthur mention the word reform recently. He thought about it when he went back. Although he still didn''t understand it, he thought it should be like a "good idea".

    "Tell me, how did you reform?" Arthur was curious when he heard the speech.

    Leaning against the back of the chair, Gustav smiled proudly at Arthur and said, "according to my observation, if a person only does one thing and does it repeatedly, he can do the fastest and best." then Gustav stopped and observed Arthur''s expression.

    "What do you think I''m doing? Go on!" seeing this guy talking, he suddenly stopped and aimed at him. Arthur said angrily.

    Seeing that there was no special change on Arthur''s face, Gustav continued, "so I thought that if the forging equipment process is separated and one person is only responsible for completing one process, the speed will be accelerated."

    Then the guy stopped again and watched Arthur''s expression change.

    "Don''t say a word, stop! Go on, finish it all at once!" looking at Gustav''s expression, Arthur wanted to go up and punch him.

    "I don''t want to know if you agree."

    After muttering, Gustav continued, "so I spent gold coins and called a group of people in Shanghe town to be responsible for Blacksmithing, and asked each blacksmith to choose three disciples as helpers. This not only speeds up the speed, but also there will be more blacksmiths in a short time."

    "They can''t do too difficult processes, but some are simple and have no problem at all. The blacksmith reduces his work and is very happy to bring some disciples."

    With that, Gustav looked at Arthur again.

    "Finished?"

    Nodded, Gustav quickly added: "this is all according to your requirements. I''m good at making the weapons and equipment of the first army as soon as possible."

    Arthur asked, "how many people do you call and how much do you pay them every month?"

    "Sixty three people, each with ten silver coins a month. Arthur, I didn''t spend any gold coins. Forging iron takes a lot of energy. Ten gold coins are the least, and I sent someone to supervise to ensure that they don''t dare to be lazy!"

    "Hahaha." Arthur burst out laughing, looked at the nervous Gustav and said loudly, "Gustav, you are really a profiteer. You only give others ten silver coins a month for such a tired job. Do you mind eating?"

    Gustav''s method is actually factory assembly line.

    Arthur wanted to wait until the time was ripe and set up a factory before implementing this method. Unexpectedly, Gustav took the lead and applied it to the equipment manufacturing of the first army in advance.

    Seeing that Arthur agreed with his reform, Gustav also relaxed and said with a proud smile: "I paid and cared for their food. Isn''t it greater than the God of light?"

    "Gustav, you''re a fucking genius." Arthur praised sincerely. Now Gustav is the most lacking person in the territory.

    Hearing Arthur''s praise, Gustav smiled proudly, "I''ve always heard you say reform recently. As your most loyal friend, I can''t miss you too much. How? This is my Gustav''s reform!"
