Chapter 161. Drowning cult items

After the miners and craftsmen had arranged everything in order, First Officer Green arranged for a few people to take them into the makeshift fortress, and divided a number of simple cloth tents for them to live in temporarily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This little incident caused a lot of turmoil in Cape Town, and the sailors returned to join their busy companions, continuing to wield hoes and shovels, carrying heavy stones and beginning to pad the roads and manicure the clearings, surrounding the ornate and graceful sheriff's residence, gradually turning the ruins of Cape Town into a huge square.

The rotten wood and gravel had been cleared out by the thieves and dumped in the sea not far from the shore, and although it seemed to have accumulated a lot, there was nothing left that would be washed away by the raging tide in one night.

The North Trumming Sea is not a calm sea, and experienced sailors can understand the irritable temper of this ocean, but now it has helped Levi a lot, at least they don't have to worry about the dumping of these rotten and unusable waste, as long as they throw it to the beach, the tide will help them solve everything.

The Barbary pirates also carried scimitars, and their eyes swept over the water thieves with cold eyes, the undisguised threat and ferocity almost made these water thieves as pitiful as lambs.

They could only eat breakfast and noon every day, and the greatest gift in the evening was half a piece of black bread mixed with sawdust, and almost anyone woke up hungry and weak the next morning to eat the only breakfast that could be filled, and then continued to do great physical work, and by noon they could only eat seven or eight minutes full.

But even if they could eat enough, it was only black bread, and maybe a few of the thieves who knelt and licked Levi could get a few portions of salted meat, but food without oil and water could only sustain their lives, and it would be really difficult to escape or do something.

With two Spanish sailors as escorts, Levi also wrapped the cloak behind him and walked around his territory as usual, thanks to the road that had been built, it was not difficult to walk on the flat land, and the walking speed from the Yuqiao River to Haijiao Mountain did not take more than ten minutes.

In the course of the war, if they need support, they can also run quickly on the road, after all, an effective and smooth road represents a rapid transfer and support of troops in military intent.

In the undulating offshore water, four or five small fishing boats have also started to fish in the sea area of several hundred meters, and the skilled fishermen have cast their nets, and with the joint pull of several small boats, they can harvest barrels of fresh fish, which is really simple for Haijiao Town, which is rich in fishery resources.

Even on the original stone road of Cape Mountain, there are already more than 30 Spanish sailors holding pickaxes to rearrange them, and after driving away the weeds, they carefully continue to place the stone slabs that are still intact, and repair the road to the top of the mountain.

Everything is in order and busy, and the whole Cape Town is now finally a bit of a territory, although it still looks empty and desolate, like a huge construction site, but the basic framework has also been perfected around the Sheriff's Mansion, and the reconstruction of the entire Cape Town has been successfully completed in the initial stage.

The sheriff's residence is a center, and the surrounding area has been cleaned up by the water thieves, and the small saplings that originally grew have also been dug up and taken away with a pickaxe.

Many palm-wide shallow ditches were also dug out with shovels by a few sailors, which were the most basic foundations and building outlines, and if the buildings were built in the future, they would be built in accordance with their planned locations.

A reasonable urban plan in the early days was a guarantee for the later cities, although the town of Cape lived and lived in its glory days with only a thousand people, but in the hands of Levy, this area, which can be called the first town in the Spanish Empire, will have a population of at least 5,000 in the future.

Even in the woods on the edge of Cape Town, there are already refugees carrying axes to cut down fiercely, as the trees fall one by one, as the refugee women quickly remove the miscellaneous branches, pull out the main trunk of the wood that is being cut off and prevent it from being cut out to the open space not far away, a rough processed log has been formed.

These are the raw materials used for the construction of the foundation, and they are all urgently needed for the current Cape Town, whether it is to continue to build wooden walls, build temporary wooden buildings, or add docks.

As for the so-called protection of the environment, Li Wei still does not have so many ideas, and the amount of work in a year in feudal times and modern times is estimated to be less than the destruction of modern society in one day of industrialization.

What's more, if they want to develop quickly, they have to sacrifice the environment, they just want to expand the area needed by their towns and ensure the construction of towns, so these ready-made forests are their best source of material supply, after all, the current Levi has no way to directly exchange the buildings in the system, and the constraints of energy also make him extremely uncomfortable.

Although the local fishery can provide 200 energy points per month, it is a drop in the bucket for the current Levi, and the initial development investment is quite huge, and the energy value of 200 points is simply a stronger addition than nothing.

"My lord, the leader of the artisans wants to see you."

Just as Levi was standing on the seashore and looking at his territory, a Spanish sailor also walked over quickly, saluted respectfully, and then whispered quickly: "At the same time, he wants to talk to you alone." ”

"Talking alone?"

Levi's mind also instantly remembered the middle-aged craftsman leader, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, glanced at the temporary fortress with some doubts, nodded and responded to the sailor: "Then take him to the tax room of the local fishing ground, I will wait for him there." ”

He just wanted to inspect the local fishing grounds, and the fishing boat full of sea fish had also returned to the shore, and it seemed that the harvest was good, and Levi also wanted to know how many barrels of fresh fish could be obtained in a single catch.

If the quantity is large, of course, it can be sold to Gray Mist City, after all, it belongs to the best seafood, especially the fat fish can never be separated from the table of nobles and commoners, especially those fatty fish, such as the seven-star moray eel and the like, which in the eyes of the nobles can be measured by large silver coins!

Of course, this kind of sticky snake-like moray eel, Levi himself would not feel that he would eat it, but in the eyes of the British people of modern times, this kind of thing belongs to the royal family, and it also belongs to the delicacy of the upper class and the great nobles in this world.

Bringing the guards to the local fishing grounds, more than 30 fishermen also happily caught the fresh fish that were still alive in the cabin, threw them into the pond next to the sea, and temporarily raised them as ponds, after all, their number is not large, and these sea fish must be classified, among which there are many poisonous and inedible species, which must be carefully identified.

"A great harvest, Your Majesty."

It seems that the leader of these fishermen raised his head, found Li Wei walking over, quickly wiped the seawater stained on his hands, stretched out his hand to push the companions beside him to bow respectfully, and at the same time loudly reported the harvest, and said with great joy: "There are many fish in this sea area, even if we catch them for half a year, there is no problem!" ”

"A thing to be happy about." Looking at the small pool, which was already full of fish swimming restlessly, Levi's face also had a little smile on his face, and he nodded and encouraged them: "Good job." ”

Hearing Levi's compliment, it was even more exciting for them, and they all bent down to salute again, and then continued to be busy under Levi's instructions.

After the fish are identified, they enter the adjacent room to make food that can last for a long time, such as dried salted fish and smoked fish, and can be stored in wooden barrels and used as military and daily ration food for distribution to sailors and refugees who do not currently have a market economy.

"Your Majesty, the head of the artisans has been brought."

Soon, two sailors armed with flintlock pistols walked over with the middle-aged artisan leader, and one of the guards in charge of the guard also gently reminded Levi: "Please note that the craftsman's face does not seem right. ”

Levi turned his head to look over, and he had already found that the leader of the craftsman was covered with cold sweat, his face was almost pale, and he seemed to have something hidden in his arms, and he looked very panicked, especially after seeing Levi, he showed a look of hope and longing, which was fundamentally different from the appearance that had at least settled down before.

"Don't worry, it's all my guards."

Walking over, he looked at the middle-aged craftsman leader with a panicked expression, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded and said to him calmly: "There are no water thieves here, I don't know why you are so afraid?" ”

"Collar... Your Lord... I'm here... I've got those cult stuff here..."

However, the middle-aged craftsman leader's face was extremely pale, and the cold sweat on his face had already dripped down, soaking his neck, but he still looked at Li Wei with a trembling voice, and denied his statement in a panic: "No... Not me... It's one of my nephews... It's that he has something from the cult there..."
