396 Valkyrie Spike
The half-hung Tianji real person Baopu became a "master craftsman" who guided the people of Taixie Islanders to build sailboats.
Having experienced the sinking of many warships, they also know that the selection of materials is not only important for ocean-going ships, but sometimes the boatmen have to climb the mountains many times in order to choose the right cork.
Fortunately, Taiye Island is big enough, there are two high mountains on the island, Rong Xijue personally took the Taiye people into the mountains to select materials, during which hundreds of fierce beasts were killed, and his reputation in Taiye also rose steadily.
So in the past six months, only some of the wood has been selected.
They have visited the Longjiang Shipyard and know that after the wood is selected, it will be steamed and dried, and there are many processes such as taking tenon nails, sawing wood, repairing wood, etc., and the selected wood may not be much left after several rounds of sorting and elimination, and they have to continue to go into the mountains to log.
Even if Rong Xijue returns to his heart like an arrow, there is no better way.
Because the islanders have a main business to do, it is impossible to repair ships for them.
In order to shelter from the wind and rain, the houses on Taiye Island were built on the cliffs of the valley, and those tree houses were built by romantic young people to talk to the moon, and most of the houses that actually lived in them were made of earth and stone, and the furniture used was also logs, and they were not painted at all, so the island was also short of paint.
Fortunately, on the gentle slope of Lutou Mountain, there is a large oil tung forest, otherwise it would only be possible to build the kind of boat that Taiye Island originally had.
The tung oil blooms from March to April, and matures from August to September, and when Rong Xijue floats to this island, the industrious Tai evil people have picked a lot of tung oil for backup, otherwise the ship will have to wait until September of the next year to be built.
The Roy people hunt and farm, and the northwest end of the island has copper and iron ore, but the tribe that wins the annual winter hunt has to enjoy the right to mine it for one year.
Walking from Roy to the mine, ordinary islanders have to spend several days, there is no road, transportation relies on their backs, and you can imagine how much you can carry in one trip.
Mining and smelting technology is also backward, they can only use a year to make weapons and agricultural tools, many families do not even use copper and iron cooking utensils, more than a roast on the fire, or bamboo rice or clay pots to cook soup.
It is worth mentioning that there are no nails on the island.
Rong Xijue is a dignified emperor, not only to draw drawings, but also to teach blacksmiths how to hit strong nails.
He learned more skills in the process.
For example, the paper-making skills of the Tai evil people are very backward, and the paper produced can only be called "straw paper" at best.
After repeated trial production, Rong Xijue made snow-white paper for them. The varnish he boiled was also generally welcomed by the islanders, who brushed it on the bamboo pottery, and the original leakage did not leak, and it was shiny and more beautiful.
Because of his excellent skills, the people of the Roy Department respected him very much.
Zhu Ya often looked at him with extremely adoring eyes, and named the paper he made as moon paper, and even the nails had a special noun, called "martial god nails".
This is the result of her half-understanding after listening to the story of the Western Regions told to her by Bao Pu.
Zhu Ya not only taught Rong Xi Juetai evil words, but also pestered him very hard every day to learn Chinese.
For the life-saving benefactor and the queen of the place of survival, Rong Xijue is also very patient, she must teach her more than ten words every day, and review what she has learned before, unconsciously, the two are very inseparable. The clansmen had long regarded them as a couple, so they just didn't call the prince to their faces.
Of course, there are naturally a few young people who originally had ideas about Zhu Ya who were full of jealousy, but their minds are quite simple, and if they are not convinced, they will come up to challenge, which is really not a threat to Rong Xijue.
Although most of the things on Taixie Island lag behind the Central Plains, the places where the clansmen live are also divided into many industries, in addition to the Queen of the Mandate of Heaven, the highest level is the Great Wizard, and there are also the clan elders who are in charge of agriculture and mediate disputes in the clan, there are five clan elders in it, and they are also very equal, except for the maids and gardeners who serve the queen and the great wizards, there is a simple division of labor, and there is no high or low.
There are blacksmiths, weaver girls, farmers, fishermen, miners, hunters, carpenters, handicraftsmen, these craftsmen are not full-time, basic farmers, fishermen, miners, etc. can do it, that is, the things collected in nature are simply processed to obtain other materials, such as flour, vegetable oil, tea, silk and linen, and so on.
Speaking of which, Lu Mara, the maidservant girl beside Zhu Ya, was the first to discover Rong Xijue and Bao Pu.
At that time, she searched for the beautiful seashells left behind by the tide on the white sand beach belonging to the queen, and planned to re-string the necklace for Zhu Ya.
Rumala was an orphan, his father was a hunter, he was attacked and killed by wild beasts in the mountains at an early age, and his mother, who was in poor health and lacked medical treatment, also went to heaven when she was four years old.
The Great Wizard happened to choose Zhu Ya, who was the same age as her, as the queen, and Rumala was also chosen as a lady-in-waiting at the same time.
She was stunned when she found two people holding them on the white sand beach.
Although Rumala was not a weak girl, and the wizard also taught her a set of exercises, even a hundred times stronger than many young men in the clan, she was born with little courage, and she didn't dare to look at it at that time, so she ran to report to Queen Zhu Ya as soon as she slipped away.
Later, she actually felt very remorseful in her heart.
Especially after the worship of Rong Xijue deepened day by day.
Rumala has no other thoughts, she also knows that the powerful martial god Ah Jue, only the queen is worthy of it, but she often regrets that she didn't go up to help him in the first place.
So now, as long as Zhu Ya doesn't need it, Ruma is all by Bao Pu's side to help him.
Bao Pu is a person who likes to move his mouth and is impatient to do his hands, and it just happens that such a sincere fool as Ruma is sent to the door, no need to use it in vain, and he doesn't blink his eyes when he commands.
"That and that...... The temperature is not enough, stupid, don't you understand?
"Stupid, no matter how much you bend it, the cork will be broken, stupid, take a closer look at the drawings I drew, it's that arc, no more and no less!"
Ruma added firewood, carefully looked at the drawings again, carefully re-fastened the hanging wood at one end, and slowly bent it with the feel at the other end.
Her dark face was covered with sweat, the sun shone brightly, and the gowns all over her body were attached to her body, and her figure was a rare and delicate figure for a Han woman.
Bao Pu whistled: "That's right this time, come, the next one." ”
Rumara looked pleased, pulled out the hanging hemp rope and carefully rested it on a wooden shelf in the shade of the trees.
Two carpenters carried a pile of freshly sawn lumber and threw it on the ground.
One of the young ones seemed to be angry, and yelled at Pu, "You sit and be lazy all day! I'm embarrassed to call a girl, hurry up and help see the wood, I've already played the ink line." (To be continued.) )
