119. Lao Tzu is the lord of the sea - the happy lord of the sea
The day of the silver moon of the month of water in the 517th year of the Ivan calendar (the first day of March in the 417th year of the new calendar).
The largest port city in the Scannes Peninsula - Canada.
Canada and Sweden are the two largest inhabited cities in the "Russian continent", because Canada is closer to the northern border of the sea countries, the latitude is also lower, the hotter sunlight makes some crops grow better, and the population alone is more than half of that of the capital Sweden.
Three of the Seven Martial Seas.
"Big Mouth-Maus"
"Three Eyes-Ealing"
"Raging Bull - Remy"
It is also a regular activity here.
The Danish social hierarchy is currently headed by the "True King-Zeppelin", under which there is a noble staff, and the local governors are divided into governors, and the governors of this city are held by Zeppelin's granddaughter, Ligfried Siegfried, "a cousin one year younger".
But she rarely appears in public, and every time she appears, she wears a mask that hides her beautiful side and exposes her skull-like skin, but she doesn't care anymore and continues to live in a fantasy world.
Many people in this city said that she was crazy and called her a "witch", but she only dared to rot in her stomach, because Zieg Fei was there, as long as anyone dared to say bad things about the governor and was exposed, she would arrest her, and beat her to death with a hundred pounds of silver stick in her hand.
.
The first thing many seafarers do when they enter the port is not to unload their cargo, but to pour a big sip of wine and rum to go cold, and by the way, they boast about the merits of the voyage with the boys and girls who are still underage and are being trained as seafarers.
What a man can do, a woman can do, and the Danish woman who grew up in a bitter cold place is not inferior except that her natural physical strength is not as good as that of a man.
Ivan returned to his homeland to reform and put forward the "Ten Disciplines", one of which is, "Both men and women are created by the god Odin, and they should be treated equally, regardless of superiority or inferiority." ”
In the early days, the Russian continent was a bitter cold land, the technology was backward, the people were not easy to survive, men were inferior to women, and women could only rely on their husbands, even if they were the daughters of nobles, they were no better, and even had to treat their husbands' subordinates with their bodies.
They are often not allowed to get on the ship, and they have to bathe and pray when they want to get on the ship, because women have "menstrual affairs", and the ancient Danes believed that if the ship is stained with women's blood, it will defile the sacred sea, attracting sea monsters, storms and other disasters, and the voyage will fail!
In the land of monstrosity, there are many strange traditions, Ivan advocated knowledge, civilized people, men and women can receive the same education, and do the same profession, and then he staged a great drama at the festival, falsely preaching Odin's possession, orally telling the gods, so that women can be exempted from the taboo of menstruation, able to go on ships to earn a living, and other bad traditions.
After Ivan's death, his body was buried in a valley near the sacred mountain "Shemalaya", where a tall, hardy tree was born, and because the tree was believed to have a tree spirit, the Danes did not cut down the tree and let it grow.
The heroic ancestors after Ivan were also buried in the valley by the Danes, and more giant trees were planted, and the cemetery of the valley became a forest for a long time. Later generations also set up an altar around a giant tree that towered into the sky for the longest time, and named it - "World Tree" .......
Since then, the trend has gradually opened, women gradually do not need to rely on men, they rely on their own skills, the southern tribute in hand, more and more women come out, for a hundred years, the Danish Navy (thieves) who shocked the three seas, there are many people who are women.
Today, the number of female navies, including logistics, accounts for two-tenths of the Danish navy, which can be said to be the most equal place on the continents today, and Ziegfried currently leads a historic women's fleet, which has a total of 400 female seamen.
In order to intimidate the enemy, their companions are very masculine, and the first thing women do after joining the team is to cut their natural blonde hair short into a "small flat head", and take out a section of those cut hair, weave it into a mustache, and when they sail, stick it to their mouths, like rough Danish men, so this group of women's soldiers, also known as the "Goldenbeard Pirates" by foreign navies. ”
After retiring, they will regain their long hair.

"Lao Tzu is the lord of the sea, the happy lord of the sea, the supreme skill, full-time adventure, innocent of hurting people, flirting with women, free, we are not afraid of sea monsters, sweeping the three seas ....... ”
Whistles blew everywhere, and various versions of the "Song of the Sea Lord" port rose and fell.
The incoming crew called themselves "sea masters", not pirates, saying that the sea was originally owned by them, and that it was only for those foreign aliens to occupy it, and their forcible behavior of going south or west was very legitimate, and it was just to collect rent.
By noon, six more ships had returned from the west coast, two slave ships, three grain ships, and one live animal ship.
The North Sea is wide, and the ship technology has been advancing, even if the Danes have recently gradually abandoned the same countries as the sea in terms of life and customs, but in the shipbuilding technology, it has not fallen behind, in addition to the dragon ship, small clippers, transport ships, square sail cargo ships, warships and other ships are available, the ships built in Denmark are very stable when sailing, even if the sea power of the port of Nice and Xili, it may not be able to beat Denmark.
The six ships were cargo ships returning with a fleet, and the slave carriers carried Huta and a small number of Seymours, twenty-one men, the darker-skinned two, the more assiduous and more popular with the Danes. Their faces are scarred, and those who disobey have been thrown into the sea—"become a member of the Fish Clan." ”
Slaves are a good thing, they can reproduce little slaves, they endure hardships more than cattle and sheep, they eat less than children, they fight with smiling faces, and once they are injured and worthless, they also voluntarily sacrifice to the Danish gods, combining "truth, goodness and beauty".
On the grain boat, there are fava beans, black beans (coffee beans), cheese and spices and other insurable foods, which are very valuable, especially the black beans that give off their aroma.
The click of beans in the mouth is pleasant to the Danes, so when they go out to socialize, they will bring a handful with them to treat each other, especially black beans, because of their high price, they are also called black gold.
This thing was first grown in the Moorish zone of the southern Efetic continent, and was also cultivated in the "Pedeaux Peninsula" under the control of Persia, but these two places and the countries of the sea were boiled as a drink, but in Gaul because they felt it was too bitter, the Franks were not much interested, except for the "young lord of Grad" who liked it very much, and would also add various drinks to drink it...... , other Gallic nobles, did not pay much attention.
When Zeppelin returned to Denmark after the end of the "Great Passage", he introduced this black bean for the first time, because it was too cold in the north to grow bean trees at all, so they also used the dry way to eat, this taste allowed the Danes to relieve sleep, produce energy, stimulate the nerves, and then take this thing as a thing of courage.
After the six ships went ashore, the sailors chatted with the harbor workers who helped unload the cargo.
"Why are there so few black beans this time? Isn't this abundant in the Bodo Peninsula?"
"Not to mention, when we rode the ocean current, and when we arrived at the Bodo Peninsula to collect tribute, we found that there was a war going on there, and there was a shortage of supplies, and we could not grab any good things, and the port was full of poor ghosts, and there were a large number of regular troops, even our armed fleet could not please us. ”
"Bitin is fighting with Persia again?"
"No, it's a ...... There is a yellow boy named "Said-Envoy Raf" with an eagle tattooed on his back, and he took the lead in ambushing our dragon boat, and next time he will take revenge, and the "facial paralysis-Putin" of the Seven Martial Seas was also injured by him, his nose and face were swollen, and he was afraid of frightening the "one in the Governor's Palace", so he returned to his territory to recuperate. ”
"No wonder I didn't see his fleet enter the port, if in the past, if he had received the tribute and sent it all to the governor's palace, he would have been disgusted and occupied ....... ”
