The number of standard plate armor, up to now, is only four hundred sets.
Four hundred sets of standard plate armor are not even enough to fully equip the soldiers trained by Ross.
While Lynn was pondering.
Mo Ying had already arrived at the entrance of the blacksmith workshop. Lynn dismounted and handed Mo Ying to a guard at the door, then stepped into the blacksmith workshop.
The blacksmith workshop in the morning had already engaged in the production of standard plate armor.
Some apprentices were so focused that they didn't notice that their Master Lynn was inspecting from behind.
Ehrelo, who had just finished instructing an apprentice, turned around and saw that familiar figure.
He dared not hesitate and hurriedly went to greet him.
Standing before Lynn, Ehrelo respectfully said, "Master."
Lynn nodded and said, "Ehrelo, last night, Ross came to find me at dawn!"
Ehrelo was stunned, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Instructor Ross... returned to the town from the city wall barracks at dawn?"
The next second, Ehrelo understood the meaning in Lynn's words, "Master, are you saying that there was something unusual outside the city wall?"
Lynn did not hide anything, "Ross said that a cavalry came at night to reconnoiter the military situation of the city wall!"
Ehrelo's brows instantly furrowed.
Lynn continued, "I came here personally early this morning to tell you!"
"War... is near!"
"If far, after spring plowing and planting next year."
"If near, within this month!"
Hearing this, Ehrelo's eyes instantly contracted, he already understood the implication of Master Lynn's arrival.
Ehrelo promptly said, "Master, I understand."
"Starting today, the three blacksmith workshops will work around the clock, striving to manufacture nine hundred sets of standard plate armor at the fastest speed!"
Lynn shook his head and said, "Ehrelo, I want to change the blacksmith workshop's production task target."
"After the blacksmith workshops manufacture five hundred sets of standard plate armor, focus entirely on producing chest armor and helmets!"
Lynn naturally understood that the efficiency in producing standard plate armor was already pushed to its limits.
There are many processes involved in producing a set of standard plate armor, and producing nine hundred sets in a short time is indeed not easy.
While on his way, Lynn had already thought of a remedy.
Currently, the number of warhorses is limited, with only about two hundred.
The trained heavy cavalry can only number around two hundred.
The remaining three hundred sets of standard plate armor will all be used to equip the heavy infantry.
These five hundred heavily equipped soldiers will be the main force for charging into battle!
The remaining archers and guards will only wear chest armor and helmets.
Helmets and chest armor can effectively protect the vital areas from harm!
Moreover,
temporarily producing only chest armor and helmets will reduce the use of anthracite, alleviating the current pressure of insufficient anthracite storage.
As for the other components of the standard plate armor, they can be supplemented once the demand for soldier helmets and chest armor is met!
Situations are fixed, but people are flexible.
Lynn would not insist on Ehrelo producing nine hundred sets of standard plate armor knowing the production capability of the blacksmith workshop is limited.
Listening to Lynn's words, Ehrelo was slightly stunned.
But soon, he understood.
Ehrelo's face revealed a gleam of joy, and he promptly replied, "Yes, Master."
"I will go first..."
Lynn nodded.
With Lynn's granted permission, Ehrelo walked a few steps then quickly jumped onto a several-dozen-centimeter-high platform.
He shouted continuously, conveying the instructions that Lynn had just given.
The slow production progress of standard plate armor is largely due to the excessive number of parts in standard plate armor.
The smaller the plate armor parts, the greater the difficulty in trimming, polishing, and cutting leather.
If only chest armor and helmets are needed...
Ehrelo was confident he could produce them quickly!
After delivering the orders, the blacksmith apprentices immediately altered their production targets.
A completed chest armor and helmet sand box was placed on the workbench one by one.
Awaiting the melted iron to be poured into the mold cavity in the sand box…
After arranging everything, Ehrelo searched around with his eyes, only to find that Master Lynn was no longer in the blacksmith workshop.
...
Lynn strode through one workshop after another, all bustling with ongoing production.
Rough woolen robes had already been made, and the weaving workshop had temporarily entered a period of leisure.
Having continuously rushed out three thousand sets of linen robes and pants, then tirelessly produced six thousand sets of rough woolen robes.
Even if the weaving workshop enters a restful period, they deserve it.
After all, people aren't machines and can't work non-stop around the clock for several months.
Even machines can't withstand that.
However,
Lynn noticed that, even though the weaving workshop entered a leisurely period,
Yimini didn't let these weavers idle but instead had them retting flax!
The twenty thousand pounds of flax sent by Bor Commerce Association's Jean had been piled in the warehouse and had not been retted.
Now, it's just right to take advantage of the leisure period at the weaving workshop to ret the flax into fibers.
Once dried, the flax fibers can be spun into linen thread…
During her busy work, Yimini caught sight of Lynn at the workshop door out of the corner of her eye.
Yimini quickly bent over, observing proper etiquette.
