Chapter 20: Troubles
In the mountains and forests, a group of teenagers were frolicking excitedly, but one of them had a sad face, looking like someone owed him millions, and it seemed so out of place in this cheerful environment.
"Evan! See how you're upset? What are you thinking? ”
Or Ole is careful, in the end he is the oldest and most stable in their group, and at this happy moment, he also noticed Wang Dahai's strangeness.
But then again, even if a fool is a fool at this moment, he can see the expression of a dead father and a dead mother.
"It's nothing, you guys make trouble with you, don't worry about me!"
Wang Dahai felt that there was no way to solve the problem of money by saying it, everyone is a child, who would have valuables that could be exchanged for the few things needed for shipbuilding?
"What's the matter with you kid, are you brothers,
You're still keeping it a secret from us? Look at your ugly face.
Don't you believe us?
If you don't believe us, then we won't be together in the future. ”
Ole was a straight-tempered person, and when he heard Wang Dahai's obviously perfunctory tone, he immediately raised his voice an octave and questioned him loudly.
This movement was not small, and the teenagers who were still noisy in front immediately quieted down, and everyone glanced at each other and quickly gathered around.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why did you guys quarrel just now! ”
A group of people gathered around and asked.
"Actually, there's something I don't want to say.
It's just that I think I told you that you don't have any good solutions.
And it will cause annoyance to everyone, so I didn't say it. ”
Wang Dahai looked at everyone's anxious expressions, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and he didn't hesitate to say the reason why he didn't say it.
"What do you mean, look down on us, don't you?
What do you mean we can't solve it?
Don't you say how do we know that we can't help it? ”
Ole was the first to yell at him angrily.
"Okay! I was wrong, don't be angry, I said. ”
Wang Dahai saw that as Ole's words just fell, more than a dozen pairs of angry glasses around him glared at him? Several of them, with malicious smiles on their immature faces, hurriedly opened their mouths to admit their mistakes.
He didn't want to be beaten up by these overly excited kids, because then they would be comfortable and miserable.
"Actually, have you ever thought that you can build the kind of boat I drew now?
But how does it get into the water? How to go to sea? How to sail? How to dock?
There were no ropes, sails, anchors, and pieces of iron to hold the hull in place.
He can only count half a battleship. ”
Wang Dahai slowly said what he thought in his heart, since you have to ask, then don't be excited, let's worry together.
"Someone is going to make these things? What do you not say about such a simple thing? ”
This time, it was Haakon, who was the first to jump out and say loudly, but as soon as his words fell, Ole's face was already very ugly?
"I told you to do it? Who do you go to do it? Who would dare to do it for you? Even if someone makes it for you, do you have the treasure to buy? ”
Hakang's tendon doesn't mean that other people also have tendons, and they have already thought of the reason why Wang Dahai didn't say anything.
Ora was the first to rush and kick the idiot to the ground with a single kick, and then the others rushed over and surrounded Haakon with an old punch.
While fighting, he asked him, Ha Kang didn't have time to get angry, he was holding his head and curling his body, tragic!
After a few moments, everyone stopped moving, sat on the ground, and continued to think about the question just now, and no one paid attention to Haakon, who was paralyzed underground like a dead dog.
"Look! If I can't say it, you have to say it, and you can't help it now?"
Wang Dahai saw everyone's sad faces, and his mood couldn't help but feel much better than just now.
Seeing their expressions of dead father and mother, Wang Dahai felt ridiculous, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, who knew if this group of fools would beat himself as miserable as Ha Kang?
He could only suppress his smile and explain to everyone in a low voice.
This group of teenagers knew in their hearts that it was a great crime to build a warship without permission, they were very hierarchical here, only the leader could have many rights, and the others had to obey the leader's arrangement.
Just now they were only excited, and they didn't think about it so much, but now that they think about it, they must not tell anyone, and they must be very careful in preparing these things, although it will not cut off their heads, if they leak the news, although it will not cut off their heads, but they find that the dream of sailing in the New World will also be aborted, and the ship will be confiscated by the Earl of Rolf.
"I'm sure you won't tell anyone about today, because we're brothers.
But the big question now is how do we get these things?
We have no treasure. ”
Wang Dahai gave everyone a few minutes to accept it, and then said the troubles in his heart in one breath.
Wang Dahai thought shamelessly in his heart, since he wanted to listen, he would simply listen to it all at once, and that would make it more annoying, "Hehe! ”
Hearing Wang Dahai's later words, Ole and the others were completely sluggish, and these children living in the tribe had no money because they had never had money, so they didn't have the concept of money.
But now that they heard Wang Dahai say this, they finally understood, what was he bothered about?
They are also annoyed now, it should be said that they are very annoying, although they do not have the opportunity to buy things with their treasures, but they know that no one else will give them good things except their parents.
"Anchor, I can ask my father to fight, but I don't know if he agrees, and I don't know if there is enough iron in Lu Dao." The first to speak was Paul, whose father was the only blacksmith in the clan.
"Anchor is not in a hurry, it's better not to talk to anyone now, including your father.
The ship will not be built for a while, and besides, I have only drawn a rough outline, and I will have to go through repeated tests.
We've got some time, but I'm sure the ship will succeed.
So we have to find a way to find enough wealth now, so that once our ship is built.
You can sail right away. ”
Hearing Paul's words, Wang Dahai thought about it before slowly speaking out his opinion.
"Who of you knows where you can dig up iron?"
Wang Dahai thought that if there was iron ore here, it would be easier, at most he would be a miner with Ole and them for a while, digging out for his own use, and the rest could be exchanged for other things.
"No...... No......! ”
Hearing his question, the teenagers around him all shook their heads and replied that they didn't know what to say.
"Every time my father helped someone else build a weapon, those people looted it and then returned to the furnace to make it, so I don't think I heard him say that we have stones here that can be used to strike iron." Paul shook his head in reply.
"Hey!" Wang Dahai sighed in his heart, in fact, he also asked tentatively, thinking that if there was a mine, what problem would be solved.
However, he has also lived here for nearly seven years, and he has some understanding of the barren land under his feet, combined with the sporadic memories of his previous life, he knows that if the Vikings can really solve the problem of food and clothing, they will not risk the possibility of being swallowed by the sea at any time every year, and the simple ship will drift across the sea to other people's territory to grab things.
It's all the fault of poverty, I seem to remember that in the late period of the Vikings, almost all of them migrated to places where the land was more fertile for human survival, and their last failure was also caused by the slow assimilation of the locals.
"Otherwise, the anchor is very large, and it should require a lot of iron.
We don't have the treasure, and we can't do it blatantly? ”
Sam, the youngest, spoke at this time and said another key point of the problem, iron!
The clan leaders are relatively strict in their control of weapons, and basically no one is equipped with only a set of long swords, short axes, daggers, and wooden shields. The others don't know where he's hiding.
However, it can be seen from the fact that the Vikings are really not wealthy, they are really short of iron, and if there is enough iron, the iron shield will definitely be much stronger than the wooden shield.
"In addition to the weapons they are equipped with, iron is really hard to find, so you can't ask everyone to take out the iron pot for cooking and refine it!" Wang Dahai shamelessly reminded everyone of a bad idea.
"Actually, it's okay, everyone has refined the pot, I feel the same, it's really not good, let's refine our respective short swords and daggers together!"
Haakon, who had been lying on the ground for half a day before he got up, spoke at this time with mud footprints all over his body and his hair scattered like a chicken coop.
