Chapter 278: Good Harbor
Mu Feng's serious appearance made Mu Shi frown, and persuaded him: "Gong'er is still young, let's talk about this matter later, maybe he can be a respectable person like you when he grows up?" ”
Mu Feng snorted coldly and said: "What is still small, this little cub doesn't know how much better than our original conditions, I think I followed my mother to wander in the wilderness, I watched my mother be bitten to death by wild beasts, and was torn apart in front of me, what kind of environment is that, maybe he will die one day, he has food and drink now, and such exquisite clothes to wear, if I don't work hard, I will have to break his legs." ”
"Okay, you take your breath, I'll discipline him in the future." Mu Shi hurriedly poured wine for Mu Feng.
Recalling his mother's tragic situation, Mu Feng felt extremely uncomfortable, and he was drunk as soon as he picked it up, and the spicy taste of the liquor blew through his throat, making his eyes red.
Gritting his teeth, he put the wine glass on the table heavily, and said, "It's full!" ”
Soon Mu Feng was drunk, and when Mu Shi saw this, he helped Mu Feng up and walked towards the house, and Mu Feng could be heard whispering softly, "Mother! Mother! ”
Mu sighed, put Mu Feng on the bed, and hugged the carpenter who had been sleeping next to him for more than a year.
A few days later, after the arrival of thirty soldiers near the river, the large army that had built the harbor, carrying large quantities of supplies, slowly marched along the road to the east, and the craftsmen gradually drifted away in the farewell of their families.
Wang Lang stood on the city wall, looked at the team that disappeared into the sky, stroked his beard lightly, and muttered: "The strength is weak and the task is heavy for a long time, and it will not be able to support it if it is exhausted." *******,*******? It is the gentleman's kindness that is just good for the soldiers. Tell stories with mountain wives, and try to cut off the old scalp. I'll hand over my Daxia coastal defense to you to build, take care! ”
Mu Feng rode on the giant deer and glanced at the city wall that was already a small point left, and said secretly: "Your Majesty, the minister will not disappoint your expectations. ”
The guards on the side saw that Mu Feng had stopped, and hurriedly walked over and said respectfully, "Shang Shu, what's wrong!" ”
Mu Feng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, move on!" ”
The guard stepped back and shouted, "Hurry up, everyone, we can reach the first supply station before dark." ”
More than a dozen huge repeaters slowly moved forward under the pull of the giant deer, the setting sun should shine on the rushing team, the shadow of everyone pulled the elder, the picture at this time is like a quiet oil painting of clothes.
A month after Mu Feng and the others set off, the paper in the true sense of Xia Guo was finally made.
When Wang Lang received this slightly yellowed paper, his excited hands couldn't stop shaking, and he rewarded the officials of the Ministry of Industry heavily.
With the mature process, Wang Lang immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a new paper mill near the lower reaches of the river, after all, if the sewage produced by the paper production is discharged in the city, the impact on environmental health is extremely serious.
For large-scale group life, if you don't pay attention to hygiene, it is easy to have some infectious diseases, for the current medical means, even if there is a cold, it may spread to the whole city, what Wang Lang can do is to keep the city clean and tidy, and if the factory can move out, it will try to get outside the city wall.
At the same time as the new paper yard was built, Wang Lang also handed over the sample drawings of the steelmaking blast furnace he had designed to the Ministry of Industry, and the steelmaking yard was also built in the lower reaches of the river.
Although the expedition had not yet heard of the discovery of iron ore, this did not prevent him from starting the plan to build a blast furnace, placing it on the edge of the river, so that when the steel was produced, it could be forged by water power in the future, and he designed this kind of steelmaking furnace, although it could not produce steel, but even the worst steel was much more practical than bronze.
Bronze is a kind of thing, can not be made into a long weapon, the toughness is relatively poor, with steel, you can make knives, although he is not very familiar with cold weapons, but he also knows that the role of the knife in ancient warfare is much more practical than the bronze short sword, the knife can replace the sword, there is definitely a certain reason.
While busy with the construction of the project here, it took more than two months for Mufeng's craftsman team to arrive at the beach.
Before leaving, Wang Lang had already explained in detail the construction requirements of the wharf, and this rocky cliff was definitely not suitable.
At this time, Mu Feng called an explorer who had come here and asked, "Is there any place near here where there are no cliffs and there are forests?" ”
The man nodded and said, "Hui Shangshu, walk north for half a day from here, there is a flat place over there, and there are some trees over there. ”
"You lead the way in front, inform the troops, head north, soldiers are on high alert in the air, don't let those animals peck their lives!" Mu Feng quickly commanded.
The guards bowed down and urged the team to turn around and move north.
Half a day later, the team arrived at a savanna area, in the depths of the grass can faintly see some wild beasts lying on the ground to rest, the coastline here is curved, the sea is calm, and there is no beach here, it can be said to be a natural harbor.
Of course, Mu Feng didn't know that the harbor was bad, but his intuition told him that it was a good place to build a port and shipyard here.
"Shangshu, are we going to stop here?" The guard asked.
Mu Feng nodded hungry and said, "Let's rest here, send out half of the soldiers to clean up the beasts here, and the craftsmen will cut down wood and prepare to build a place to live." Mu Feng quickly commanded.
The team immediately took action, one took away and took his men, left the team and walked towards the grassland, those beasts saw a group of humans coming towards their side, but did not come to attack, as if they had encountered a natural enemy, got up and ran out quickly, and after a while, they disappeared.
The strange behavior of these animals surprised the soldiers who watched it.
"Total, what are we going to do, why did they just run away." One soldier scratched his head and said.
"What's wrong with this, I haven't seen a few beasts near the five cities for a long time, I didn't expect these guys to come here, I think they were killed by us before, and they were scared, I didn't expect these animals to have such a day." He snorted coldly and said.
The soldiers' faces suddenly became sudden, and their morale suddenly soared, and this group of soldiers just walked around the grassland, as if they were demonstrative, and they didn't even put a crossbow on their faces, and cleared up the area by the sea.
