Knight Lord: From Farming to the Industrial Revolution

After transmigrating to another world, Etienne became the lord of a knight's domain, and discovered that things had gone pretty badly for him from the start.

In his previous life, he studied metal materials. In this one, his only useful skill is forging iron and smelting steel, but his domain is so poor he can't even make a decent woodcutter's axe. Hundreds of people under his command are waiting anxiously for their next meal, while the neighboring nobles sip wine and wait to laugh at him. Other transmigrators either possess peerless martial arts or are richer than kings. As for him, the System only gives him one kilogram of steel a week, so he has to count on his fingers just to figure out how to make a horseshoe.

To make matters worse, this continent is in turmoil. There are pirates to the north, monsters in the mountains, and troublemakers constantly showing up to steal sheep. A knight's domain with no food, no soldiers, and a blacksmith's hammer with a chipped head.

But Etienne figures he knows his way around forging iron and smelting steel. In this world of swords and magic, what can an engineering graduate make of things? He doesn't know either, but he thinks he should first make sure everyone in the domain gets a decent meal.

Farming, forging, training soldiers: from a knight's domain to the Industrial Revolution, things get interesting when steel meets magic.
