Chapter 257 Inspecting the Territory and Preparing to Make Paper
The corpse seems to have been baptized with positive energy and has not rotted so far, Xia Duo only glanced at it, then did not take it to heart, turned his head and asked Layton,
"I remember there was a carpenter among the slaves, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"The first phase of the house in Linshui Village can be built, pick a group of people for him, and let him start in the north of the altar and the south of the camp." Shado commanded.
Now the number of people in the territory is nearly a hundred, and when Xia Duo returned, he noticed that in addition to the official lords having some wooden houses similar to Datongpu, the slaves only lived in straw huts.
The kind of conical grass hut with a few branches and some hay hanging on it is very simple, and if it rains, it has almost no ability to protect against rain.
That's right
"Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance", Xia Duo expects these people to work with peace of mind, and the material incentives he should have are also necessary.
"By the way, let's build a few rows of wooden houses now, so that we can live in Rao for a long time." Chateau added.
Layton looked to the north, thought for a moment, and said, "My lord, it takes about seven hours to build a wooden house, and if you ask for a few more rows, it may take a long time. "The wooden houses on the territory are only improvised at the moment, and a lot of materials are used from the Savile territory, and Leiden feels that the territory development junior spends a lot of time on housing, and it is not worth it.
"Priest Leiden, the lords and I came here, we can't even have basic housing, so it's decided, and not only these current lords, but also future lords will also have to be allocated housing." Xia Duo understands the importance of a house, which is not only a shelter from the wind and rain, but also a home where you can feel at ease.
Although there are promises of the future, and the enthusiasm of these people is still very sufficient, they are not able to satisfy their hunger by always drawing cakes.
There needs to be some short-term incentives, all Xia Duo can think of is a house, anyway, the leaders built it themselves, he is just doing a distribution job.
"Yes, sir." In front of Xia Duo, Layton took out a scroll from his waist and wrote down Xia Duo's request on it with a few strokes.
…… After patrolling around the altar, Chardo found another problem. On the eastern frontier, several large fires were burning, and from time to time people or slaves added fuel to them.
Xia Duo cared about it before, but now he suddenly reacted, these fires are actually burning money!
The traverser crushed several magic weapons of the natives: paper, sugar, glass, and maybe one more
"Salt". Seeing all these hay and wood that had been burned in vain, Xia Duo thought of papermaking. Although Nesserel also had paper made of plants and trees, it was not in circulation because it could not carry spells and was more expensive than the most convenient parchment.
But Xia Duo knew the potential of this kind of paper, even earth, stone, and metal could carry spells, and it didn't make sense that grass and wood paper could not carry spells.
What's more, Xia Duo knew very well that the key to truly carrying spells was actually ink, or materials that could connect to the magic net.
He believed that in the future, there would be grass and wood paper that could be used to make magic scrolls. In addition, grass and wood paper does not need to use biological leather like parchment paper (high cost), grass and trees are everywhere, and once the technology matures and the cost decreases, it can quickly explode.
This is a big killer of knowledge popularization. The popularization of knowledge is not bad for Xia Duolai, only the key technology needs to be blocked.
The popularization of knowledge will promote exchanges, which will lead to the explosion of ideas and theories. Shado was fed up with Nesser's conservative style, and he was more than willing to lead a change in thought.
As for whether it will make others stronger, it is actually not in Xia Duo's consideration, unless it is an enemy.
His goal has always been himself, as long as he keeps improving, what are he worried about! Think big and start everywhere, maybe you can try the ancestral [papermaking] now.
But when it comes to the moment, in fact, Xia Duo can't do much, he just keeps the papermaking thing in mind, and he will try it when he has the opportunity in the future.
Now he can only try not to see those burns
The "money" was on fire, but all that burned was some hay and the branches of the trees.
The main wood is still there!
"Priest Leiden, go get busy, I'll take a look to the east."
"Yes." …… The main positions that the territory soldiers need to defend are to the east, with the shrine to the south, the river to the west, and the fence and magic alert to the north.
However, Xia Duo is worried that going too far east will affect the lost lock, and in the actual planning, it only needs to be cleaned up to about 100 meters away from the river.
After that, you can set up a fence and open up to the south.
"The key is still a lack of people!" Crossing the development line to the east, Xia Duo continued to move forward, and walked nearly 100 meters before he saw the simplicity of the layout of the Qiao Qi team
The "line of defense" - a thin line runs through the forest from south to north, using branches less than half a meter high as stakes, and a bell is hung every 20 or so.
Not seeing anyone from the Jooch team, Xia Duo deliberately mixed it when he walked by, and the bell closest to him rang immediately.
Immediately after the thin line was pulled, a crisp bell sounded on this line, and soon Xia Duo heard an angry roar from the east: "Node 3 has been triggered, are you lazy Hader!" Come back and see me! "It's been a while since I've been out of the territory, and Xia Duo is a little unfamiliar with this voice, but it's not hard for anyone to guess, if nothing else, it's Jochi.
Such a loud voice sounds so loud in the forest from afar! Soon, Xia Duo saw Harder running all the way from the east with a sword and shield, and suddenly saw the lord who had disappeared for more than ten years, and Harder seemed to be stunned.
"That's—Lord Lord!" At this moment, Qiao Qi's voice came out again,
"Harder, Harder, your son replied!" Only then did Harder react and shouted in the southeast direction, "Captain, it's Lord Lord!" Your Lord is back! After shouting, Harder looked at Xia Duo with some crampedness, and was hesitating whether to return to the alert position or stay and wait for the captain.
Xia Duo looked at the thin bell cordon with interest, the effect of this cordon should be good for ordinary beasts, but it was a little far away from the camp.
It would be better if the people in the camp could hear it too, so that the camp side could also be on guard in advance.
Soon, Qiao Qi also rushed over, also with a sword and shield, ran all the way to Xia Duo, and said in a straight voice: "My lord! Joki came to report! Xia nodded and pointed in the direction he had come,
"Let's go, we're walking."
"Yes, sir." Jorge sent Harder away, walked in front, led the way to Shado, and reported the latest situation,
"My lord, these ten, we have pushed the cordon here, white is outside the bell line, and at night it is inside the bell line."
"Are there many cases of collisions with the cordon?" Shado asked.
"In the beginning, there were a lot of them, but after clearing the two nearby goblin clusters, there were a lot fewer of them."
"Goblin settlement?" Xia Duo thought of the goblin settlement that he had solved when he first arrived here, and there was a bear goblin in it, and he quickly asked, "Have you found a bear goblin?" ”
"I didn't find it, but Captain Gibb judged that there were traces of a bear goblin living there."
