Chapter 41 Marine Debris
At Ferry Harbor, Lawrence and his servants arrived at the beach early in the morning.
There are many lobsters here, and they crawl out of the ocean floor after the sun comes out in the morning, like a dense network of disgusting bugs.
What's even more disgusting is that these bugs taste very bad, and people in coastal areas hate eating these disgusting and unpalatable red shrimp.
Their taste makes some people feel physiologically uncomfortable and have a short life after eating.
It only took half a minute for Sariel to pick up a basket of red shrimp of about ten centimeters.
The rest of the people also picked up the insects that had begun to emit a foul smell and threw them into the basket as if they were picking up dried herbs.
If you don't worry about these insects getting too much sand, you can actually sweep these sea garbage into the bag as if you were sweeping the floor.
Lawrence was quick to say, "Try to pick up the red shrimp that are still alive." ”
Salil didn't want to pick it up anymore, the beach was smelling bad.
"It's good that Kharan didn't come, otherwise her nose would definitely not be able to stand it."
Lawrence didn't think about this problem, and after being reminded by Sariel, he realized the connection between the red shrimp and Keharan.
Shrimp and crabs in the sea feed on plankton, or small fish and shrimp.
Or then there's corpses and dead fish and vegetables.
The kelp community created by Keharan a few years ago has completely disappeared and is eaten by a large number of fish, shrimp, marine animals and seabirds.
The large number of red shrimp washed up on the beach in front of me does have something to do with Keharan.
These things were really rubbish in this era, and the lobsters that Lawrence gave his slaves every day were boiled shrimp without any spices.
At most, it is to give some garlic, so that they can take a bite of shrimp meat and a clove of garlic.
Simple boiled shrimp is definitely not delicious, the fishy smell is serious, and it is impossible for slaves to eat shrimp that has just been boiled, and many of them are made in the morning and left over until noon to continue to eat.
Even dogs don't eat these things.
Sea crabs are more annoying than shrimp, especially the large ones, and you don't want to eat them if you lose them.
The delicious food of the future does not mean that this era will shine, and Lawrence has no way to make lobster and cancer delicious in this era.
Sariel and the others prefer to eat pancakes and sea vegetables.
Lawrence suspected that people in the icy area and by the sea had a kind of inhibition that made him sick to his stomach at the sight of shrimp and crabs, as if only those who did not eat them survived.
Lawrence looked around, noticing the distress on the faces of the nearby fishermen, women, and soldiers.
To appease the people, Lawrence said, "The dead shrimp can be composted for scrap, or burned at all." ”
Composting requires manpower and material resources, digging pits, and transporting to places far away from water sources and living areas.
Now that manpower and material resources are so tight, where is the time to do this.
Besides, there is no better fertilizer to use, and it is a waste of time to use this difficult fertilizer.
"Yes! Prophet! "People are working a lot faster.
If the red shrimp on this beach are not treated in time, the stench will last for a long time, which is an absolute disaster for the residents living nearby.
Rao, the captain of the fishermen, suggested to Lawrence, "Prophet, we can transport these bugs to the depths of the sea by boat and throw them away." ”
Lawrence didn't think it was advisable, "It would wash up in the sea." ”
Rao carefully explained: "Only a small part will rush up, the beach here is very long, I promise there should be only a little." ”
The sea does not just drift to one side, these red shrimp that are lost in the deep sea will be swept into the deeper sea with the current, or scattered and floated away.
Even if some of them are swept back by the current, they can't all of them reach themselves accurately, and it is possible that there are nearby sea cliffs and rocky beach areas.
"Okay, then throw it into the sea."
Lawrence also felt that this was more appropriate, otherwise digging a pit and burying it and burning would waste a lot of manpower.
There should be hundreds of tons of red shrimp on this beach, which is the food of several giant whales for a day.
Soon fishermen began to dump garbage from the water on their boats in leaky wooden baskets, and more than a dozen small boats were soon filled with boatloads of red garbage.
Sariel quickly dumped the shrimp in the basket to the ground, "Keharan will be uncomfortable to see these things, we can't hurt her like this." ”
Lawrence looked at Sariel's serious expression and thought to himself, you didn't think about it that way when you ate oranges before.
Sariel obviously didn't want to eat it.
Lawrence doesn't like to eat shrimp and crab much, but he thinks that many things can be reused and turned into treasure.
But after being reminded by those around him, Lawrence quickly admitted his mistake.
Sometimes waste is waste, and at this stage these shrimp and crabs are marine cockroaches, a swarm of disgusting bugs.
This time, I didn't come here to eat shrimp, but to compete to see who had the best boat control skills.
Lawrence sent forty ships to Flying Fish Harbor to transport goods such as farm implements and wood eggs, as well as newborn chicks and adult hens, as well as large quantities of salt and grain.
This time, instead of asking the ships to line up to go to Flying Fish Harbor, let them sail at full speed on their own, and through competition and competition, find the fastest captain.
Ships of the same type and a group of the same type, otherwise it is difficult to compare.
Lawrence allowed the men not to work in the fields and workshops, to control the ships at will, to let them fit in.
Compared to the pirates who rely on clippers for food, Lawrence wants these people to be more professional in driving and controlling the ship.
To this end, Lawrence is willing to support them with money and food to continue this technological improvement.
After waiting on the beach for more than an hour, the fleet, which had been on departure for three days, began to return one after another.
The first group to return in a 20-meter dhow soon landed on the beach.
Their ships have a shallow draft and are regular pirate ships, which can quickly land on the beach and fight, or quickly approach normal ships with the power of sail slurry, and escape by pulling away.
The captain was a bald man, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a black beard.
Akda quickly knelt on the beach and saluted, "Prophet, is our ship the first to arrive?" ”
Lawrence smiled at the Vakiri.
"Yes, Akda, your team is the first to arrive, and I will give you and your sailors a barrel of ale each, and a reward of one hundred copper coins each."
"And you, as the captain, will be rewarded with a new garment."
Akda and the sailors who came to their knees behind him quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, merciful prophet!"
Lawrence intends to assemble a professional special attack fleet, which must be prepared from now on.
"Akda, take your buddies to unload the ship's cargo and go to the tavern to relax."
"Yes! Prophet! Akda responded excitedly.
Lawrence's words were not finished, "Starting tomorrow, you can set off with your buddies in this ship and continue to improve your piloting skills at sea." ”
"You can also ask the rest of the captains and experienced sailors how to run faster, and not only you, but the rest of the captains or those who can afford to continue to use these boats."
"I hope you will be able to find problems found on previous voyages on board, improve the ship and technology, or talk to the people in the shipyard about the ship."
Lawrence looked out to sea in the distance.
"I see that in the future there will be a great battle at sea, and whoever can defeat more enemies will be honored."
"Whether it is a sailor or a captain, whether it is a combat group, a logistics group, or a piloting group, as long as he strives to improve himself and make contributions on the battlefield in the future, then he will become a lord or even a baron."
Hierarchy is something that exists in every dynasty and generation.
Military ranks, titles, titles, official qualities, ranks, ...... In short, it is necessary to establish a subordinate relationship.
All history proves the usefulness of this system.
In peacetime, all kinds of competitions and rewards are only rewarded with monetary honors, and only knighthoods are awarded for meritorious service in wartime.
Because at the moment the army is much more important, dozens of times more important than craftsmen and peasants.
Lawrence put down his cruel words, if he wants to get the title of nobility, if he wants to become a baron, then go and fight for me!!
There is currently only one baron in the realm.
The Cretan baron of the Vakiri, this is the only living baron.
People like Fleiss, Beoff, Grace, and Andrew are just ordinary chiefs, and they don't really have the title of baron.
Baron Rodney and Baron Durand are both barons of Steer, not of the Land of Stars.
Soon, the Vakiri, the Bhumisi, the Siddles, and the newly joined captives and water people of the Wave Kingdom were all feverishly preparing for war as if they had been beaten with blood.
