Chapter 214: Opening
The Mekong River is quite famous.
Like the Yellow River, the Mekong River is the origin of countries such as Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, and the existence of the Mekong River has allowed the ethnic groups of these countries to grow from weak to strong.
Of course, Lin Bei, who didn't have a starting point, didn't care, he only cared about the resources in the Mekong River, and among the resources of the Mekong River, the most famous place is the big fish in the river.
It should be said that this river is indeed blessed, in the list of ten kinds of huge freshwater fish in later generations, the Mekong River has three exclusive ones, the first is the Mekong giant catfish, this catfish has a body as big as a grizzly bear, the second is the manta ray that Lin Bei just saw, that is, the stingray of the Mekong River, the fourth is the Siamese giant carp, the ten largest fish in the world, the Mekong River occupies three of them, and ranks first, second and fourth respectively, if it is not blessed, Lin Bei really can't think of other adjectives.
However, Lin Bei has always felt that this ranking is a little inaccurate, because there is a fish in our Huaxia that should be bigger, that is, the Chinese sturgeon, the Chinese sturgeon can reach 700 catties, but it is not on the list, it is estimated that the guy on this list collects black money.
Well, this is a digression, anyway, it can be seen from this that the Mekong River is indeed a river with extremely abundant water, and in this era, the big fish in the Mekong River are estimated to be still in a dominant position, and few natives can hunt them down, so Lin Bei came.
Now that he has come to the Mekong River, how can Lin Bei not take these resources? This is obviously impossible, in the Linbei plan, the Mekong River is still an important waterway, related to the Central Plains and Eurasian countries, so this river Linbei must be controlled.
The manta rays have escaped, and this fish is not very big, but it is actually very timid, but don't provoke them. Because if provoked, their tails can turn into tail spines, enough to pierce wooden boats, and at the same time, if the wings of the manta rays beat the water, the waves can overturn large ships several feet long. It is an unusually terrifying fish.
Lin Beigang wanted to go ashore, and then he realized that he dived into the bottom of the water, there were originally several human bones under the water, some of these bones were not complete, and there was naturally no meat on the bones, it was estimated that they were eaten by fish, in addition to these bones, more bones were still behind. After looking at it, there were no less than 100 corpses, and there were many fragmented bones.
"Are these the bones of the Han Chinese who were eaten or the aborigines themselves?" Lin Bei did not dare to infer that the aborigines would eat the Han people, but they would not eat their own people, and their customs were also very strange, unlike the Han people at this time who had to bury the dead, but to carry out water burials. Maybe this is their water burial ground.
Lin Bei went ashore and saw An Zhongzhi staying on the shore. I kept looking at the river, and I was relieved to see Lin Bei come back: "My lord, if you encounter a water monster next time, don't rush down so recklessly." ”
An Zhongzhi, the big fish in the sea, can be regarded as seeing and hearing a lot of people, but the river in the sea is different, if you see a fish of five or six meters in the sea. No one would be particularly surprised, but if you see a big fish five or six meters long in the river, you have to say: Wow, what a big fish, so An Zhongzhi and the sergeants will think it is a water monster.
Lin Bei smiled. Shaking his body, he shook off the river water, and said happily: "It's not a water monster, it's just a big fish, and besides, I have to thank this big fish because it made me figure out something." ”
Previously, Lin Bei was not sure whether this big river was the Mekong River, but now he can be sure.
"Figured out what?" An Zhongzhi asked curiously.
"That is, this big river is very good, really good, and in the future, Linjiang City will also become an important big city under our Wanghai City."
"An important big city? Does this place have to be built like Wanghai Castle? An Zhongzhi's face was a little bitter, Wanghai City has not been completely completed yet, and he wants to build another city? Is the speed too fast, is the step too big?
Lin Beidao: "Of course, but Zhongzhi, you don't have to worry about the lack of manpower, don't forget that there are also natives, we just need to drive them to build a city." ”
If the Wanghai people build the city by themselves, it will be very troublesome if they are sick or tired, but the natives don't have to worry too much, and Lin Bei doesn't want to give the natives a good treatment, they don't have any human rights, the only thing they have to do is work, work, work hard.
After affirming that this river is the Mekong River, Lin Bei and An Zhongzhi re-planned the structure of Linjiang City, so that Linjiang City is on par with Wanghai City, in addition, almost all the cities in the future will also be this structure, that is, the structure of the ring road, unless the city is built on a special terrain will be designed separately.
On the second day of Anzhong's arrival, the craftsmen came back from the mine and happily told Lin Bei that the iron ore vein is a two-layer structure, although the aborigines dug up the upper layer of iron ore, but the lower layer was not found, and the lower layer of iron ore storage is still quite rich, which means that the iron ore vein can be excavated again, once mined, Wanghai City will not be worried about iron shortage in a short time.
"The abundant mineral resources of the forest are already beginning to reveal themselves to us." Lin Bei secretly thought, without Lin Bei's orders, An Zhongzhi sent craftsmen to investigate the iron ore vein again, and then he would come up with a good plan to mine the ore vein.
At this time, Lin Bei himself had a little trouble, because he felt that he should be molting again.
"It's molting again, so fast." Lin Bei sighed.
In fact, it's not fast, a snake generally has to molt more than a dozen times, among which the frequency of molting of snakes in the growth stage is the highest, and when it matures, the molting frequency of snakes will decrease, sometimes even for several years without molting, but this also means that the life span of snakes is coming to an end, so Lin Bei can still molt He should be happy, which means that his body is still full of vitality, on the contrary, he has to worry.
But Lin Bei is still very annoyed, counting this time, Lin Bei is the third molt, the first time is not long after the crossing, the second time is before hibernation, the first molt is very simple, a few times to finish, and the molt before hibernation is not happy, trapped Lin Bei for several days, and this time is obviously similar to the molt before hibernation.
Lin Bei is now itching all over his body, this itch comes from the flesh and blood, so that he doesn't have any energy to do anything else at all, he just wants to catch the stone or wood, itching to the extreme, Lin Bei can't wait to hit his head.
"Why can't the snake scales fall off?" Lin Bei twisted his body, thinking very irritably, the first time he only pouted for a while and then the snake scales on his head were cracked, but this time the scalp still did not crack after two days, and Lin Bei really wanted to use a knife to cut a cut.
An Zhongzhi also discovered Lin Bei's irritability, and after asking, An Zhongzhi immediately stayed away from Lin Bei, and he didn't hang out in front of Lin Bei for the past two days, the adult's temper is not very good now, and he was really scared to death when he stared at people.
Lin Bei's appetite has also increased, he has to eat four meals a day, and he has to eat nearly 100 catties of meat at each meal, and then he can feel that his body is bound by snake scales, just like a fat man wearing a tight suit, which is very uncomfortable.
In the end, Lin Bei couldn't stand the itch, so he asked the sergeant to find some sharp stones, hit them with his head and scrape them, and on the third day, with a bang, Lin Bei felt that his head was slightly loose, and his heart said that it had finally begun.
This molting is beyond Lin Bei's imagination, although the snake scales on the head have cracked, but the snake scales are obviously not too loose, it is not easy to shed the whole thing, Lin Bei asked the sergeant to help, the sergeant carefully cut the snake scales with a hunting knife, a stroke is blood, and the sergeant is like earth, but Lin Bei feels that his body is very cool.
"Your Excellency, you've bled a lot." An Zhongzhi couldn't bear to witness it on the side, Lin Bei's blood was almost all over the place, if it was connected with a bucket, I am afraid that there were several large barrels, and An Zhongzhi and the sergeants were scared when they looked at it.
"It's okay, go ahead." Lin Bei felt that there was no problem and motioned to continue.
For a whole night, the sergeants finally crossed out all the old snake scales in Lin Bei, and the moment they finished, many sergeants' legs were weak.
When the snake scales were peeled off, Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and then a sense of weakness welled up in his heart, "Zhongzhi, I'm hungry"
"My lord, the food is coming soon." An Zhongzhi hurriedly ordered the sergeant to bring the meat over, Lin Bei devoured it, swallowed half a bison in half an hour, it is estimated that he ate seven or eight hundred catties of meat in this half an hour alone, when he swallowed something, Lin Bei seemed to feel that something in his throat was also swallowed, and then his throat became bigger, and the swallowing speed became faster.
Lin Bei felt that his stomach was full after eating half of the cow, and after eating, sleepiness came up, and after he glanced at An Zhongzhi, he fell asleep.
"My lord? My lord? An Zhong called quietly, Lin Bei didn't respond, but his stomach was still slightly undulating.
"You wait to get some water, wipe your body for the adult, and then apply medicine to the adult, be careful, don't wake up the adult." An Zhong ordered directly: "Let He Ming come over." ”
When He Ming arrived, An Zhongzhi immediately ordered that the camp where Lin Bei was resting should be filled with sergeants, and whoever dared to trespass without permission could be shot directly without asking the reason, raising Lin Bei's security level to the highest.
This is the first time An Zhongzhi has seen Lin Bei molt, which really shocked him, and he feels that he will not love it again in the future
For three days in a row, Lin Bei didn't wake up, An Zhongzhi was very anxious, fortunately, An Zhongzhi could see Lin Bei's stomach rise and fall, so he knew that the adult had not had an accident.
At the same time, An Zhongzhi was surprised by the speed of recovery of the wounds on Lin Bei's body, because the wounds cut by the sergeants had already recovered as before, and the scales had grown again, and the white of the scales became more and more obvious, and the black was even less.
On the night of the third day, An Zhongzhi, who had been guarding Lin Bei, noticed that Lin Bei's body moved, and then opened his eyes, "My lord, are you awake?" It's scared to death. An Zhong felt that he had never been so flustered.
Lin Bei opened his mouth: "I slept so full." ”
An Zhong's eyes kept straight, his eyeballs almost protruded, and in horror, he stammered: "Your Excellency, can you speak?" ”
Lin Beileng froze, followed by ecstasy. (To be continued......)
