Vol. 8 Flap your wings! 04 Set sail strongly! 02
At the same time, Orson Manor:
Hawke looked at the so-called work clothes that Xu Zheng was carrying in his hand with great interest. The drawings of this thing were handed over by Xu Zheng to the capable women in the manor, and nearly 100 pieces were tried, and the one in Xu Zheng's hand was one of the samples.
It was a strange garment, with a blouse and trousers joined together, much like a frog cutting a hole in its abdomen and then peeling its skin. Maybe it should be called a toad suit? Hawke saw Xu Zheng reaching out and tearing open the opening in his abdomen to put himself in, and then buttoned it. By the way, the button is also a new thing, Xu Zheng asked the dwarf to use a small piece of copper to pour into a small round button, and after polishing, it can be untied or buttoned together with the so-called buttonhole on the clothes, which is much more convenient and comfortable than the original tie and cable tie.
Seeing that Hawke looked at himself without blinking, Xu Zheng casually threw one over and said, "Try it?"
Hawke was very interested in the toad suit, and then asked, "Do you need to take off your clothes inside?"
"Did you see me take it off?"
"Forehead ......" Hawke put it on like Xu Zheng, and found that it was loose and comfortable, and it did not affect the movement of his limbs at all, so he couldn't help but smile: "It's really good to wear." ”
"This style of clothing is just for ease of work. In particular, some activities that are more physically demanding and have a relatively large range of movement of the limbs. It is less constrained by the activity. Xu Zheng said, took off his work clothes, and said to Balil: "Balil, go and inform Gwen to build a new garment, well, workshop, you call Shunkou." Make more of this kind of clothing, and give one to each person who makes clothes that are easy to wear and tear, and then you can get another one every six months. ”
"Oh, okay, Brother Xu Zheng. Xiaohu flicked his tail excitedly.
Xu Zheng watched him disappear by the door with his little buttocks, and asked Nordin, who was hurriedly trying on clothes: "Why haven't you seen this batch of little tigers evolve to the second form?"
Nordin raised his arms in embarrassment and said, "I don't know." Ask my mom, she knows better. I remember when I was twelve years old, I was able to transform into a half-human, half-beast combat form. The eldest of these little creatures is fourteen years old. I still don't change my body, I also find it strange. Stretched out the two hands that had been stretched into his trouser legs to Xu Zheng: "Which side of this thing is up?"
Xu Zheng smiled. Walked over and pulled Nordin into his trouser leg and pulled out his arms. Laughing: "It's the other way around." ”
"Oh. I can't be blamed for that. It can only be blamed for the shape of the two ends of the earth is too similar. Nordin said awkwardly.
"Xiao Chu wouldn't be so stupid. ”
"Of course. He's used to wearing Terran clothes. I didn't wear clothes before......"
"Yes. Of course. You like to run naked!wahaha!"
"I have a leather skirt ......"
"You mean the skin that always goes naked?"
Hawke laughed, the bull head pushed the door in, Xu Zheng hurriedly reached out to grab him, "Don't move my tail!" the bull head shouted, and the tail flicked dexterously, trying to avoid Xu Zheng's hand.
Xu Zheng turned in mid-air, his hand reached down like a phantom, and he caught it lightly. Laughing: "Ha!"
The bull's head suddenly froze and began to bare his teeth at Xu Zheng. Bruce leaned against the door and smiled at the bullhead, "You can't fight him, I've seen him fight Jimmy." Xu Zheng's skills are a bit like the legendary martial artist, and the movements in his hands are fast and fast, and they are very weird. ”
"Prizes. Xu Zheng let go of the bull's head and said with a smile: "Go to Yalu to get a new axe and tail armor." ”
Niu Tou was overjoyed: "I have a new axe, don't I have to go to farming again?" The last time I took the balloon land, the axe fell, and Niu Tou has always been very sorry. He loves the old, and he can't give up things when they are right.
This bull head doesn't know why he is very resistant to farming. Xu Zheng scratched his scalp, always felt that things were very contrary to common sense, it seemed that when the interstellar alliance was still very backward in science and technology, it often relied on the help of cattle to plow the land. Why is this cow so rebellious?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to say, "Whatever you want." Remember to go to the dwarf to pick up something. The dwarves are absolutely top-notch in crafting ground things, and the axes and tail armor are better than the ones on you. ”
The bull head turned his head to look at his tail armor and said, "I'll go get the axe, the tail armor won't be necessary, it's a gift from Huo Huo." ”
Hawke chuckled, "Swap it out." ”
Niu Tou said: "If you don't change it, I like this." ”
"Cow temper. Hawke couldn't help but laugh, but he no longer insisted on changing the bull's head for the tail armor.
Nordin finally succeeded in putting on the toad suit, but he couldn't get used to it, so he took it off again. Still wearing the Defender outfit, which has become more and more popular lately. "Bullhead, let's go find Yaru together. ”
"Okay. "Bullhead and Nordin went out.
Xu Zheng turned to Hawke and asked, "How are things going in the manor?"
Hawke said: "Uncle Reeves and Uncle Hughes are out together and are making every effort to purchase all kinds of building materials. If nothing else, a large amount of supplies will be purchased smoothly soon
Xu Zheng said with a smile: "The two of them, one is an old thief who has become a fine thief, and the other is also a shrewd person who has mixed up with society and dealt with all kinds of people. It's very reassuring to leave things to them. ”
Hawke said, "Yes." Originally, Uncle Hughes could do it alone, but he just complained that there was no more time for his Warcraft Tina. But Uncle Reeves is a rich slave. He likes to guard his money and watch how it is spent. Well. Maybe he'll get some of other people's money bags by the way, and Uncle Reeves is good at that. And he hasn't done it for many years, so it is estimated that his hands are very itchy. ”
Thinking of Reeves, who had a dignified face and a deep aristocratic temperament, to pick up people's money bags, Xu Zheng couldn't help but want to laugh.
After thinking about it, Xu Zheng said: "I don't really know what basic things are needed to make a manor run properly. Hawke, you've managed Silver Arrow Castle, so you should know it well. ”
Hawke nodded, and said, "If a castle, like the Silver Arrow, needs at least ten windmills, ten or more wells, nearly ten lumberyards, twelve to fifteen lumber mills, three or five blacksmiths, seven to eight quarries, and at least one iron mine and one copper mine to meet the basic needs. And, of course, there are large tracts of arable land. And in the case of Orson Manor, it takes more. ”
Xu Zheng listened as if he understood but did not understand. Hawke explains: "Wood and stone are used to build houses, stoves, and other basic living utensils, to ensure the most basic living conditions. Iron and copper ore, as well as some wood, will be used to make tools. The harvested grain had to be coarsely processed by the mill before it could be sent to each family to make bread. So all of the above things are a must. Do you understand what it means to have to? I mean to live a little better, which is the most basic necessity of life. ”
Xu Zheng was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Before Hawke's army arrived at Orson Manor, Orson had lived in one crisis or another, but he had solved the problem with the help of elves and gnomes. Guarding a large lake, he didn't even think about it. He is far inferior to Hawke in terms of how to really make a manor form its own mechanism, go on in a normal cycle, and become a real organic institution.
And Bruce doesn't seem to be much better than himself, this person may be good at making friends and has the ability to recognize heroes. At the same time, he is also a good big brother, but by no means a good manager. Now, for example, he also has a red face. Looking to the left and to the right, it seems to be careless, but in fact, he up two ears to listen to Hawke's management experience.
Xu Zheng asked, "What about making people's lives better?"
Hawke said, "Then we have to build more." Taverns, inns, entertainment facilities, churches, doctors' offices, bathhouses, schools, etc. And everything has to start from the most basic starting point. Most of your ideas are suitable for coming up when you have solved the problem of food and clothing and want to live a more comfortable life. It's not that I'm talking about you, I've been at the manor for so long, and I haven't built a few basic living facilities, but I have built a paper mill and a printing house. What's the matter? You expect people to eat paper when they're hungry?"
Bruce began to snicker, his eyes wandering over Xu Zheng. Actually, you're stupid too. There are also times when the star of the imperial capital is deflated and is trained to be speechless, which is really happy! This matter must be taken back to the imperial capital and shared with everyone!
Xu Zheng was embarrassed and said, "I don't understand...... At first, I just wanted to make money quickly, and then use it to exchange for necessities. And I'm surrounded by idiots. Like Orson, he was the original owner of the farm, can you count on him? The daylilies are cold! He can't teach you how to cut people with a sword. ”
"You. Hawke laughed, "Your head is different from ordinary people, thinking about strange things." Of course, most of the time they are very smart. But in terms of living security, it is not enough. What if there is a natural or man-made disaster and the supplies you need cannot be traded? Yes, both the gnomes and the elves can help now, but suddenly there is a special situation, such as a decrease in the yield of fruits, a decrease in the production of food for the gnomes, or something else, and everyone will starve together? I don't think I need to remind you that the elves and the gnomes have no sense of distress. When the time comes, we will be hungry together, and it will be very exciting, although my father is not very good at talking most of the time. But I have to admit that he still said this sentence wisely: it is better to rely on others than on yourself. I have guaranteed what I need. Those who have surplus can help other ethnic groups in special circumstances, which is the most basic principle of survival. ”
Xu Zheng nodded in instruction. Hawke smiled: "So now we have to build a lot of basic living facilities. Similar to the ones I said above. Fortunately, there is no shortage of money or manpower for the time being, and nothing can affect the arrival of materials. I think the estate will soon be self-sufficient. You need your weird ideas for later, and when you make a lot of money. ”
Reading the book review today, the Dark Knight said that Forren is too pitiful, and should consider letting the juniors of the Samus family take shifts and take turns to sit on that torturous throne. At present, Dane, Bruce, and Forren are going up in turns to suffer, and they will be waged up when Sadie grows up.
It was such a novel idea that I almost didn't laugh my big teeth out at the time.
The emperor has a shift system, and the cannon is interesting to listen to!
Thanks to the Dark Knight for his big idea, I plan to let the royal family of House Samus take turns sitting on that broken chair, even Old Rex can't let go. At the same time, let the poor current Emperor Samuel come out and let the wind go. He is also pitiful, everyone else is free outside, but he has to hold the base camp.
