Fitzwilliam was then invited into the village by the enthusiastic lizardmen, and he saw much more.

Almost everywhere the shipwright looks, production and construction are in full swing.

In addition to the scythe-wielding scythes harvesting the crops in the strip-like fields that crisscrossed the fields, Fitzwilliam also saw the crackling pieces of wood being pulled back from the direction of the swamp and piled up under the huts.

Groups of people who looked like carpenters picked and chose the wood they liked, and after selecting their favorite wood, they worked on the spot.

Cape Crab is located to the east of the Empire, where there are few brick kilns, so Fitzwilliam couldn't recognize what the smoking bread-like buildings were, and could only barely guess what the lizardmen were cooking.

But he was a shipwright himself, and he was all too familiar with carpentry.

Fitzwilliam, however, stood by the hut and watched for a while, and soon noticed the difference.

In crab horns, carpenters mostly use right-angled wooden rulers and compasses to measure before processing.

Especially the rectangular ruler, it is easy to use, but because of the limited length, if the thing to be measured is relatively long, it is measured in sections or cut out a rope of the same length first.

However, in addition to the above two, the measuring tools used here are small round cakes that can be held with one hand, and thin iron sheets with scales can be pulled out of them.

Those thin pieces of iron can be pulled out of a long distance, and it is very convenient to let go of your fingers after making a mark, and then you can bounce back again.

The shipwright who watched exclaimed, thinking that if this little thing was used to build ships, especially large ships, it must be very useful, but soon Fitzwilliam came back to his senses.

Now that he has been exiled to the West, how can he build any ship?

He shook his head, threw the somewhat nonsensical idea out of his head, and looked down.

At the end of the measurement, the carpenters begin to cut, using traditional axes and wedges, and in the case of thick planks, a two-man vertical saw.

This was no different from the carpenters at Cape Crab, but in the subsequent finishing process, the carpenters here used something that Fitzwilliam had never seen before.

It was a rectangular tool with two short handles on the sides that could be held and pushed by hand, and the surface of the plank that had been pushed through it soon became flat.

Elsewhere, this part of the work is done by chisels and axes, which is obviously not as efficient and requires a high level of skill from the carpenter.

In addition, Fitzwilliam also saw a lot of wooden shelves that had been erected in the village, all of which were standardized in style and size, and stood neatly there, probably intending to build houses.

I just don't know why I haven't started using the mud lake wall.

It wasn't until the boatman saw a few brick houses under construction on the other side of the village that he was answered, and he was later invited into a brick house that had already been built.

It was the first brick house built in the village, with gray tiles and red walls, two bedrooms and one living room, and a kitchen with a chimney erected on the roof, and the flue connected to the sleeping kang in the bedroom.

The brick house itself does not occupy a large area, about sixty square meters, which is only half the size of the most common thatched hut on the continent of Bratis.

However, all the rooms are separated by brick walls, forming separate spaces, and the floor is also paved with tiles, instead of the original dirt floor.

In addition, the roof tiles are more waterproof than thatch, and even in the event of heavy rain, there are almost no raindrops falling on the house, and the risk of fire is greatly reduced.

"Walking on the Stars"

Fitzwilliam has remained in Teacup Castle since arriving in Greenfield to care for his sick sister, and has not yet been assigned to the farm, but the rest of the family who was sent with him has already arrived at their new home.

When Jane's health was almost better, the boatwright visited the nearest houses.

For the nobles accustomed to towns and castles, their dwelling in the greenfields may be a little better than the gloomy dungeons.

At least there was sunshine and some freedom.

However, apart from these two things, there are not much other places like the dungeon.

There are also no beds and furniture, and the dirty environment, leaky walls, doors and windows, and the strong smell left by livestock in the house cannot be cleaned.

When it rains, they have to use wooden buckets to catch water, and some people can't stand the rain leaking in their sleeping places, so they find the steward of the farm and ask for help, and the reply is that they will repair it themselves.

This is not that the steward is deliberately bullying these newcomers, because the houses are indeed maintained by the farmers themselves after they are rented to the farmers.

It's just that most of these nobles of the Wettin family don't know how to repair the roof, and some people want to challenge their limits, but they even break their legs, so everyone else has dismissed this idea and can only continue to live like this.

In contrast, in this village on the edge of the swamp, the brick houses that people are building can be called luxurious.

Even compared to Fitzwilliam's original residence, it was not much different.

In addition to the houses for human habitation, each room was equipped with a small courtyard with a pigsty and a livestock shed, so that people and animals were separated, and there was almost no smell in the house.

Fitzwilliam, who watched it, was envious.

The first brick house in Green Field was naturally given to Li Yu, a prophet, to live in by the lizardmen.

However, Li Yu is not in Brattis most of the time, so the actual owner of this house is the little maid Clara.

She has now joined the Shuangxiu Sect, Li Yu gave her the name of Mary, not to ask her to discover polonium and radium one day, I just hope that she will not waste her wisdom, at least she can be more serious when studying and doing things.

However, for now, Li Yu's hope has been disappointed.

After seeing Fitzwilliam, the little maid's eyes suddenly lit up, and she opened the drawer behind her with a smile, took out a small square box from it, and said to the boatman.

"The Prophet is not here now, and he will not be back until the second half of the night."

Fitzwilliam nodded, "It's okay, I can wait, it's very interesting here, there are a lot of novelties, and I want to go around outside more." ”

"You can talk about it later," Clara said with a serious expression, "You said you want to join the Shuangxiu Sect, so do you know what the most important doctrine of the Shuangxiu Sect is?" ”

The shipwright was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said respectfully, "Please also give me advice." ”

"Enjoy life. Every believer who believes in Saturday should know and understand the importance of rest and recreation, and I will teach you now. ”

Clara said as she opened the card box in her hand.
