Androni opened the letter with trembling hands, looked at it only once, and then began to weep tremblingly.

This was indeed Dussand's handwriting, and judging from the content and timing of the letter, it should have been written the day after Dussand's captivity—that is, yesterday.

He's alive.

There is no news that makes a mother happier than learning that her son is alive, not even by a "scheming" woman like Androni.

She burst into tears.

After confirming that the letter was indeed from Dussand, Byrne was in a much better mood. The red-clad postman he had just signed had inexplicably died in an artillery-covered sneak attack, much to the fury of Director Bourne.

Anger stems from the loss of control of the situation and from regret for the inexplicable death of a young man with great potential. After confirming the source of the letter, Byrne immediately stood up and prepared to take his leave.

"I have to go back as soon as possible and instruct the local redcoat postman to follow the trail and, if I can, confirm Dussand's location as soon as possible." Byrne put his coat on his coat and said to Andronie, "We have already transcribed a copy of the letter, so keep the original—if there is a new letter, I will send it again." ”

After leaving a word, Byrne quickly walked out of the flower hall, hurriedly boarded the steam carriage, and left the manor.

When the carriage had left the manor, he pulled out a piece of letter from his bosom.

[Your Excellency, I have found a highly valuable subordinate in this land that has been secretly ruled by the Bosenke Fishing Company for hundreds of years. Due to the extreme importance of the people of this village to him, and the fact that the other party was once an Allied Navy, I suggest that he be developed into a double agent for us. We can develop more sources of intelligence by taking the inhabitants of the village hostage and returning them back to the Alliance. Dussand's handwriting looked childish, but the contents of the letter pleased Byrne.

This kid is really the material for this line of work.

[I must point out that this downline's ability is much more than just obtaining information.] In fact, it would be a great waste of precious resources to use it in this way. I believe that, if given enough resources, within ten years he will be able to raise a force within the League against the existing rulers of the League. 】

[The war between the Empire and the Alliance is not a simple battle for a few colonized planets that can lead to a decisive victory. The war, which has lasted for more than 400 years, has become a huge wound in the two countries. The empire has a long history, but it is still difficult to win outright. In order to achieve victory as soon as possible, we must open another wound on the Alliance's body that will not heal. 】

[I think a good Confederate Navy soldier who is angry with the ruling echelons of the Confederate is capable of doing this.] 】

[P.S.: If it is convenient, please give the other two pieces of stationery to my mother, so that she can call on the corresponding administrative resources to help me better control the downline, and at the same time, I can also give my parents a little comfort.] 】

Byrne read the letter for himself again, and then smiled.

I really seem to have picked up a treasure.

Dussand, who sent the letter, now has more important things to do.

Now that he has promised Finn to give his villagers a good life. Then Dussander has to take some practical actions in advance to prove it.

Truth be told, in the steampunk era, the life of the poor was still similar to that of the poor in the Middle Ages. In some cases, life is even worse.

On the planet, at least, the poor of the Middle Ages still retained some basic handicrafts. The woolen textiles they made had nothing to do with "delicacy", but at least they were enough to keep them warm.

However, the "disconnection of knowledge by word of mouth", poverty and hardship caused by large-scale interstellar migration have caused a large part of the poor to lose the knowledge and ability to engage in basic handicrafts.

They knew that the linen cloth on them was made of hemp, but they couldn't understand how the fibers in the plant turned into a flat piece of cloth.

They don't even understand how cotton and wool, short and soft "hairs", turn into cloth.

At least among the poor people of Bosenk, there is only one kind of "cloth" that they can make - wool felt.

After the wool is spread in layers in a rectangular "trough" made of mud, warm water and burned plant ash are poured into the trough, and the wool is repeatedly rubbed and patted, and then removed to dry to obtain a thick, coarse felt cloth.

Although this felt cloth has very good thermal properties, the poor people lack sufficient sources of wool. Some families have one or two felt vests that have been passed down for generations, while others have patchwork together wool felt in different sizes and spread them on the bed as warmth.

Such a warm structure is obviously not enough. And Dussander has a little idea about it.

"Theoretically, all animal hair could be used as a source of felt." Dussaint sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Finn beside him, "There are very fine scales in the hair, and they are intertwined and rubbed against each other, and in the end, why can't the raw skin be directly made into clothing will become a 'felt cloth', as long as there are enough animal hairs, and they are entangled by rubbing and other methods, you can get a felt cloth." ”

"Other animals don't have so much fur." Finn scratched his head, then whimstruck, "Can't you use a human head?" ”

"It's not impossible...... But it didn't work very well. Dussander coughed, the dreadlocks on the rappers he had seen in his previous life, and then shook his head and said, "The best thing to do is to get it from animals." I've just seen it, and there are a lot of rabbits here, and every family can eat them. ”

"We eat rabbits because they're great for training shooting." Finn nodded, then smiled wryly, "The villagers have not been very enthusiastic about military training, let them find rabbits to shoot, and then pick up the meat and eat it...... It's an easy way to get them excited about training. However, they still don't like it, after all, the fish tastes better and is easier to catch. ”

"Then add another one and let them hunt more rabbits." Dussaint thought for a moment and said, "Rabbit skin can also be used as a raw material for warm clothing, right?" Why don't you see you wearing animal skins? ”

"We don't have tanning agents." Finn said helplessly, "When I was in the League, my father was a leatherman. But we can't buy tanning agents here at all, and even Bosenke doesn't have a place to sell tanning agents. Clothes made from untreated hides and skins will rot after two days of wearing. So now the people in the village are still used to eating it with the skin. ”

Dussander said helplessly, "It's good that you don't eat hair." "With more sources of animal hair, maybe you can have more warm fabrics.

Among the four basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, the first two are the most needed by the poor. But in the category of clothing, there are not many ways that Dussaint can use now.

Textiles are not Dussand's specialty, or even his area of interest. After all, Dussander in his previous life never worried about "fabric". Thanks to the strong textile industry of the motherland, the streets are full of shops selling clothes, which are inexpensive and of good quality.

I can think of using other hairs to make felt, and this is because there are a few little girls in Dussand's college classmates who like to make wool felt dolls. Looking at the small dolls made of wool and even cat and dog hair in their hands, Dussaint realized that wool felt could be made of other wool.

Dussaint doesn't understand the part of the clothes, but he still has some say in the "food" part.

For humans, there are three main components of food – sugar, protein, and fat.

To put it in terms of what everyone can understand, it is "bread", "meat" and "fat". Sugar provides the fastest amount of energy, while protein is essential for the body's makeup, and fats and fats provide the most energy with the least amount of weight.

The combination of the three substances, supplemented by vegetables and fruits, can ensure a healthy life for a "person".

Current clumps are able to provide a source of protein and fat. But starchy foods, which are more suitable for humans as a "staple food", have not yet been settled.

"You still have to continue the work of cultivating the fields." After arranging the task, Dussand stood up and walked towards the wilderness outside the village.

"Remember, don't eat the plants you pick outside. After getting it back, let the rabbit try the poison first! Finn shouted behind Dussand, "Remember to bring a gun!" ”

Dussaint raised his hand handsomely, and then walked towards the wilderness outside the village without looking back.

In ancient times, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and now there are ...... Xiao Du is looking for food!
