The flames in the fire emitted a shining light. A iron tong held up the red iron juice in the tongs pan. The iron juice was poured into the mold. Watching the shiny iron juice gradually cooled and turned black, Rudolph watched with his breath.

"Regent, we can make the blade so long at most. If it grows, it will easily break." Blacksmith Fein said to Rudolph with black smoke and dust on his face.

"Is it because of iron?" Rudolf frowned. He knew that the Tang Dynasty's Modao was two to three meters long, and the blade had to account for almost one-third so that the strongman could play the greatest effect in waving. However, the medieval wrought iron technology was backward and could not meet the standards of the Tang Dynasty's Modao.

"Maybe, but maybe it's something else, we don't know." Fein scratched his head. Although he learned new forging techniques from Rudolph, the knives he made always broke.

"It doesn't matter, try it slowly. One is the iron problem and the other is the temperature of the fire. I think we can't escape these situations!" Rudolf took his eyes away from the fire. He asked the big men in the historical group of big bosses. Li Shimin told him that the forgings of the Tang Dynasty used blast furnaces, which can increase the temperature and efficiency a lot.

"I understand Lord Regent. By the way, the combination crossbow you mentioned has made progress." Fein wiped the sweat from his forehead, making his face dirtier, and he said to Rudolf.

"Oh, so fast?" Rudolf was slightly surprised. He originally thought that the combination of Qin's powerful crossbow should be the most difficult. After all, so many standard parts looked very complicated. Unexpectedly, Fein found it so quickly.

"Although the pictures you gave are very complicated, they are not difficult to imitate as long as you are careful. Moreover, the idea that you said can be disassembled and replaced with other crossbows is really clever. Why did I never think of it?" Fein was amazed, and the standardized parts were also extremely advanced technology.

"So that's it. Craftsmen are not afraid of cumbersome manufacturing. All they lack is ideas. On the contrary, Modao is a breakthrough in material technology, so it seems simple but is actually very difficult." Rudolf thought so, so he needs patience for Modao's breakthrough.

When Rudolph left the workshop, he couldn't help but want to send more soldiers to guard the place. This simple workshop located in the corner of the castle is actually Schwarz County's greatest core competitiveness.

"No, it should be a little more solid to build." Rudolf said to himself.

"Regent, what did you say?" Ma Xiu, who followed Rudolph, asked him curiously.

"Oh, I want to go hunting tomorrow, and stay in the castle to work. I feel like a miserable social animal." Rudolph couldn't help complaining that there was no civil servant system in his regent's court, and many documents and petitions from the local area had to be done by himself. What's worse, the Latin language used by these petitioners was very complicated and painful.

The petitions of civilians and farmers in Schwarz County are the ones who come here. The petitioners line up on the first day of each week, from the lord's hall to the outside of the door, which is even longer than the idol signing party.

"Of course, I will get Lingen to prepare the hounds." Maxiu thought for a while and said to Rudolf.

"Ringen, I almost forgot about him. The man who raises a hound, he has helped us a lot. By the way, he should be promoted to the general manager of the hound and sent him two subordinates to help take care of the hounds in the kennel." Rudolph remembered the short and silent dog owner.

"Once you have appointed a general manager, you need to pay your compensation." Matthew looked at Rudolph, knowing that Rudolph's finances were very nervous.

"We still have to spend, but we have to think about how to expand new economic growth points." Rudolph thought, the money brought back from Lorraine was spent as fast as water. Although he had the help of a group of historical masters, you couldn't know what was the most valuable and popular commodity.

"Mirror should be the best-selling product of this era, but it is not without competitors. Milan and Venice in the south also master the same technology, so worrying!" Rudolph was a little melancholy, as if he was guarding a treasure house, but he had no keys.

Ding, your friend [Great Teacher] Zhang Jiao is online.

[Great Master] Zhang Jiao: Why is there no one? It’s been a long time since I went online, where have people been?

Rudolph: Why are you free today, boss?

[Great Master] Zhang Jiao: I have nothing to do when I am free, do you have any worries? I feel very disappointed when I see your expression.

Rudolph: Boss, I'm worried about not having money! The money I finally made was almost gone, so I wondered, how could you have formed such a large team back then? Did you really rely on the saying that the sky is dead and the yellow sky is the only one who stands true?

[Great Master] Zhang Jiao: No, I relied on giving talismans to attract more believers. In addition to ordinary believers, there were many wealthy believers donated their property, which gave them military funds. Unfortunately, they failed later. It was really destiny!

Rudolph suddenly had an idea after hearing this. Damn, why is Laozi so stupid? Is there anyone who did any business in the Middle Ages that can make more money than faith?

"Damn, what did I think of?" Rudolf's eyes seemed to be full of golden light. Of course, this golden light was definitely the light of money. The power of the church in this era was almost comparable to the royal power. Why? In the final analysis, it was not that the church had a lot of money and manpower. The nobles believed that if the family's real estate was donated to the church, their souls could be ascended to heaven. The lower-class merchants donated money to buy indulgences, hoping to cleanse the souls and enhance their social status in this way. Even the poor sold their children and daughters, and they would go to Jerusalem for a lifetime to pilgrimage. A large amount of money flowed into the pockets of the Roman Catholic Church.

Rudolf: A great wise teacher, please teach me.

[Great Master] Zhang Jiao: What?

Rudolph: Please teach me how to create miracles. I want to be a charlatan, oh no, a miracle creator.

[Great Master] Zhang Jiao: Sweat, sweat!
