After several months of construction in Oceania, two new cities have begun to take shape, and the two cities face each other across the river, one east and one west, representing two royal powers.

Two new cities, built just enough houses to live, mainly concentrated labor to build the city wall, the traditional concept of the Yu people, the city has a city wall surrounded by a sense of security, if you build a city without a city wall can not be called a city, should be called the village are appropriate.

People live for a lifetime, and what they pay attention to is food, clothing, housing and transportation.

When I first arrived on this continent, there were ships to travel, and now I have almost solved the problem, and I have brought a large amount of cloth and fur from Dayu at present, and the only thing that needs to be solved urgently is food.

Starting from Dayu, he brought a lot of food, but the consumption of more than 100,000 people every day, no matter how much food there is, there will be a day when it is consumed.

In order to save food, as long as the whole team has free time, everyone will find a way to find food from the mountains and from the sea.

The old man said that it is not wrong to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and to rely on the sea to eat the sea.

Xia Jing has no state affairs on her body every day, and her body and mind are relaxed. For a few months, I was very accustomed to this sunrise and sunset lifestyle on this continent.

The pristine continent, the air is fresh, the food is not polluted, and there is no intrigue for the time being, although this life is a little bitter, but it is also a good experience.

Lately she has become obsessed with marine operations.

"Ancestor, ancestor, we are here, and we will go fishing with you today."

Xia Jing had just gotten up and washed up, sat at the table and prepared for breakfast, when the group of energetic boys at home came again.

The eldest Li Mingtong was the first to walk in briskly from outside, followed by a group of small radish heads, and the youngest was Li Dingrong's two-year-old son.

In the past, they were all slightly older ones who followed her to the sea, but why did such a small one come with her this time?

After a group of children entered the door, they honestly greeted Xia Jing, and then waited for her to express their position expectantly.

Xia Jing glanced at the youngest child, "Don't tell me, are you going to take him with you today?" ”

Li Mingtong looked back at his cousin, who couldn't walk steadily, shook his head and said, "He is not suitable for going to sea, let's come here, he is just here to join in the fun." ”

"Oh." Xia Jing swept over a few boys with high chests and raised their heads, the meaning was obvious, it was still the four eldest boys who followed her out to sea.

Since this group of children came here, they have become wild, and they have been thinking about following her up the mountains and down to the sea all day long, and they don't even want to go to school.

While speaking, Li Jingfu walked in from outside the door, and when he saw the boys standing in the row in front of the table, he was stunned: "Why are you here again today?" You don't have to go to your husband's class? ”

"Rest today!"

"Why are you resting again?" Li Jingfu was very dissatisfied with the gentleman who came with him this time, why was he always resting during this time.

Don't look at Li Jingfu, who didn't like to study since he was a child, and he grew up to be a gentleman, but he still attaches great importance to the education of future generations.

"It will take another day or two for the newly built school to be completely completed, and on the first day of the next month, that is, the day after tomorrow, Mr. will officially teach us."

Therefore, they can also play crazy for two days, and the day after tomorrow they have to go to the school seriously.

"Alright, let's sit down and eat." Xia Jing interrupted Li Jingfu, who still wanted to nag, and asked a few children: "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"If you go back to our ancestors, we all came here after eating." Li Mingtong replied.

Xia Jing found a few small children, their eyes were already glued to the food on the table, and they were so hungry that they almost drooled.

She chuckled and invited them, "After eating, sit down and eat with us." ”

Hearing this, several children couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, and rushed to sit down.

The maid who was standing behind her and waiting, hurriedly increased the number of dishes and chopsticks.

After breakfast, a lot of food and water were brought, and the group got on the boat.

In this wild continent, there is no entertainment at night, and I basically go to bed early at night and get up at dawn.

At this time, the sun has not yet come out to sea, and the sea breeze in the morning is a little cold.

Li Jingfu is old, not only wearing a cloak on his body, but also wearing a windproof and warm cotton hat on his head, in his words, he is easy to have a headache at night when the wind blows when he is old.

The boat they went to sea this time was not a ship, but a fishing boat rebuilt by the carpenter here, about seventeen meters long, suitable for fishing in the inland sea.

On the sea, you can see that many boats are far from the shore, and most of these boats are swayed by soldiers who were once fishermen, and each boat brings one or two soldiers out to sea to fish.

The boat that Xia Jing and the others were on was rocked by Ye Fei and Anu in turn, plus the four children, a total of eight people.

A few of the children are completely occupying space, and they have to worry about them falling overboard when they know how to fish.

When the ship arrived at the sea area where they often operated, the buoys of the ground cage net were still there.

Li Jingfu followed the sea more often, and he skillfully pulled up the buoy and began to collect the net.

When the children saw his movements, they all squeezed over.

"Ancestor, let me come, let me come, I have the strength, I will help you close the net!" Li Mingtong was the first to speak, his brother opened his mouth, and the others didn't dare to say anything to grab it, but this didn't affect their desire to come over and watch the excitement.

"Sit it down for me, huddle on the edge of the boat and be careful that a wave will hit you and throw you overboard!" Xia Jing was startled when she saw them all squeezing over, and her heart rose.

Filial piety in this era is really not just talking, as soon as the elders speak, the juniors basically dare not refute.

As soon as Xia Jing reprimanded, several children obediently sat back in their original positions, "When the net is collected, you can help sort it, don't lean on the edge of the boat!" ”

Li Jingfu looked at the honest children and continued to collect the net, this way of collecting the net like opening a blind box is very addictive.

The first net is okay, two or three catties of shrimp and a few palm-sized fish, as for the specific names of these fish, forgive her for a person who came to the end of the world to know the names of these shrimp and fish in the sea.

The fish caught in the second net were some small trash fish.

The children frowned, and Li Mingdong asked, "Ancestor, why haven't you received the big goods today?" It's all small fish and shrimp. ”

The children lived by the sea for a few months and learned which fish were even rarer.

Li Jingfu poured the small miscellaneous fish in the net into the bucket, listened to the child's words, and snorted softly: "Don't worry, there are only two nets, and there are still many ground cages under the water that have not been confiscated." ”

As soon as the words fell, the third net also surfaced, and this time there were two two or three catties of perch in the net.

Li Jingfu was overjoyed, "See, this is not a big fish." ”

Li Mingdong exclaimed: "These two fish are good, one dish can't fit them, it's enough for us to eat tonight." ”

Li Jingfu threw the two perch into the bucket and scolded with a smile: "You kid either remember to play or remember to eat all day long, and it seems that you are missing food when you were born in the royal family." ”

Li Mingda couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Ancestor, it's not that the royal family lacks food for him, but that he was reincarnated as a starving ghost in his last life!" Haha."

Li Jingfu listened to his words, and raised his hand to want to hit him, but when he raised his hand, he found that his hands were full of fishy smell, "How do you talk like this kid, it's really begging to be beaten." ”

The ground cages are harvested one after another, probably because the temperature is not high, and the harvest is not much.

After putting the ground cage back into the sea, Xia Jing asked Ye Fei to row the boat and run a little farther, and this time she came out with a few fishing rods, just in time to try sea fishing.

In the past, on the way to sailing, she had fished when she was bored, and came to this continent, and this was her first trial fishing.

I just hung up the bait and hook and just put it down to the sea, but I saw a flock of seabirds hovering over the sea not far away.

The children also found out.

Li Mingdong was puzzled: "Ancestor, what's going on with those islands?" ”

"They probably found their prey." Li Mingtong said the guess in his heart.

Li Mingwu stared at the seabirds in the distance, obviously not seeing any islands diving to hunt, "Since they found prey, why didn't they rush to the surface of the sea to hunt?" ”

Xia Jing glanced at the child appreciatively, smart, and asked the key point as soon as she opened her mouth.

"It should be that there is something they fear on the surface of the sea, so they hover in the air but do not swoop down to hunt."

Everyone was surprised and wondered what was going on on the sea?

Li Jingfu asked Ye Fei to quickly row the boat over and get closer to see what was going on.

Other fishing boats on the surface of the sea also approached, and they also noticed the situation here, wanting to see what was going on?

Experienced fishermen know that where there are seabirds circling in the air, there are usually fish, and Xia Jing has some expectations, so she has no objection to leaning over.

When they got closer, they found that there were two large fish hunting on the surface of the sea not far away, and one of them was opening its bloody mouth, and the sea water poured into it, making the waves on the sea much higher, and the fishing boat swaying violently.

The children had never seen such a big fish, and their faces turned white with fright, it was terrible, how could there be such a behemoth on the sea?

After Xia Jing saw the situation on the sea, she found that it was two big whales preying, it jumped out a little bit on the surface of the sea, and when it fell, the waves on the sea shook the fishing boat and undulated violently.

The children were so frightened that they clung to the objects they could grasp with their hands, and their faces were even more terrifying.

Li Jingfu and Xia Jing and others have seen whales at sea before, and they didn't make much fuss, but whales, a behemoth, are rare to see once.

Knowing the danger of approaching such a behemoth, the surrounding ships did not dare to pass, and only dared to wait and see.

"Old, old ancestor, will this big fish eat people?" Li Mingdong was so frightened that he couldn't speak well.

Xia Jing looked at his pale face, obviously frightened, and proposed: "Let's go back, the behemoth preys, it's not something we can mix with." ”

The main thing is that she found that the hull of the boat was shaking badly, and she was worried that several children were scared and had nightmares at night.

Whales are mammals that live in the sea, just like humans.

Although I don't know if they eat people or not, it is better to stay away from such a behemoth.

And, as a whale jumps out of the sea, when it falls, the waves on the surface of the sea swing out in circles, and the fishing boat shakes even harder.

There were children in the boat, and Li Jingfu was worried that the boat would capsize, so he immediately ordered the boat to row back.

As soon as they rowed away, all the fishing boats that had come up to see the bustle retreated.

By the time their fishing boat docked, it was almost noon.

The hand shaking oar was too time-consuming, and several hours passed after going back and forth and then putting the net down.

"Master, you're back!"

Xia Jing heard the voice and looked at Quan Gen who ran to the beach to meet her, this is the leader of her personal guard squadron, and there are a hundred personal guards under his command.

She took Ye Fei's hand and walked off the boat, standing on the dock waiting for him to come over.

"How did you get here? Something? ”

"I went back to the city in the morning, but I didn't find you in the city lord's mansion, I knew that you went to sea, so I planned to come and wait, but I didn't expect to find you back as soon as I arrived at the beach." Jeon said happily.

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows unexpectedly: "You came back because you found it and brought back good news?" ”

Quan Gen scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, according to your orders, we have explored the nearby mountains and found a coal mine and iron mine, as for the gold and silver mines, they have not yet been discovered. ”

Xia Jing was also very happy to hear this, "It's good to find out these two, at least the current difficulties have been solved, and when the steel is smelted, we can continue to start urban construction." ”

In the construction of the two new cities, not many houses were built, and the houses built were just enough to live, and all the steel they brought this time had been used up.

Now that iron ore has been discovered, when it is refined, the construction of the city can continue.

"What the master said is that his subordinates will let those craftsmen smelt the steel as soon as possible."

The group talked as they walked, and when they entered the city, Quan Gen said, "Oh, there is another thing, our explorers have been going inland, and the further they go inside, they find that the temperature is higher, the air is drier, and even the vegetation has become scarce, and in the end, we find that it is a desert." ”

"Desert?"

Li Jingfu has a map, so he naturally knows that there is a desert in the inland, but it really makes people explore the desert and are a little confused.

"Back to the emperor, it is indeed a desert." Quangen thought that Li Jingfu didn't believe what he said, so he helped him confirm it.

Xia Jing told Quan Gen: "You take the team to explore outside, it's hard work, give up the desert for the time being, don't go deep, it's dangerous to enter rashly without understanding the terrain." ”

Hearing this, Quangen repeatedly promised that the team would not go deep into the desert.

After a few months on this continent, he was assigned a team to explore the minerals, and he knew too well that there were many unseen and unheard of species and natural phenomena on this continent.

It can be said that after several months of exploration, Quan Gen is full of curiosity about this primeval continent.

The last time I went out and met a big bird, they ran fast, they finally surrounded and caught two, and after getting back, they have now been trained as mounts by their masters.

There was also an animal that could put its cubs in his belly, and it was the most child-rearing animal he had ever seen in the animal kingdom.

So far he has seen the biggest bird and the smallest bear he has ever seen. He believes that if he stays here, he can gain a lot of knowledge.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Jing asked the little maid to send a few children back, this time she was a little frightened, and let him drink some soothing soup and sleep well after going back.

The city lord's mansion has only built a backyard now, and a few yards have a courtyard, but the front office has not had time to be built, and the offices are all temporary houses.

When the steel is smelted, the front office of the city lord's mansion can start construction.
