Roman Lu wanted to find a forest and build some wooden houses.
You know, a house built with wood of the same thickness has better thermal insulation performance than any kind of earth bricks.
The thermal insulation effect is also far greater than that of reinforced concrete.
In the past, the nomadic people here had to live in tents and didn’t know how to use them.
Later, when Tsarist Russia developed farming here, they began to build various small manors with wood.
Roman Lu had experienced this when he was an exchange student.
It is indeed very warm in winter!
Owen Wu took two people and left to the north.
The terrain of Siberia is complex. There are not only grasslands. Roman Lu estimated that it should not be difficult to find a forest.
The remaining two days.
Roman Lu signed in at the blacksmith shop the whole time and never went to the cowshed again.
Because you can only go to one place and sign in once a day.
Roman Lu was only concerned with the production of iron, and the number of cattle did not increase. However, a cow can produce several hundred kilograms of meat, and there are dozens of cows in the farm now, so there is no food crisis for the time being.
There were still some grains in the farm, but of course it was only enough for Roman Lu to eat and feed some chickens and ducks.
No one raised chickens and ducks on the grassland. Owen Wu said that the old owner of the farm raised some poultry to take care of Roman Lu who could not get used to eating cattle and sheep.
From this point of view, my "father", who has never socialized with me, really loves me.
It’s just that Roman Lu did not inherit the memory.
I don’t know much about this old man, and I just feel a sense of mystery about him.
Unfortunately, there is no chance to ask why Lao Lu came to this desolate place.
Because when he first crossed over, his father died, leaving him alone here.
Look at the blacksmith shop.
The number of people has increased to five, and the other two are arranged separately on the vertical furnace for iron smelting.
They don't need any technology at all. All they have to do every day is throw coal and ore into the furnace. Then they will be surprised to find that iron will be burned out after a while.
Of course, every time before that, the master would come to take a look first.
[Ding, sign-in successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining four 20 steels! ]
"How are these irons?"
Roman Lu came to the blacksmith shop early in the morning.
Whenever he has free time these two days, he will come here to check it out.
Now the blacksmith shop looks like what a blacksmith shop should look like. It is surrounded by a simple wooden fence and has a leather roof on top. Finally, it no longer has to be open to the sky, and it is more comfortable to forge iron here.
"My Lord, from yesterday till now, two more short swords have been found!"
Harold Old had a good time in the blacksmith shop these past two days. He took out two short knives as if to seek credit. This one indeed looked much better than the first one.
Roman Lu found another piece of wood and chopped it down.
Very sharp!
Harold Old’s skills are still good.
Two days ago, their forging speed was comparable to that of the iron smelting furnace.
But today, when Roman Lu took out four pieces of high-quality iron from the furnace, Harold Old's eyes widened.
He had lived for most of his life, and had never seen iron smelting like this. Perhaps his master was wise and had some new smelting method, but he did not dare to ask more. The vertical furnace had been fenced off and was being fired by two people alone, so ordinary people could not watch.
"Yeah, it's really good!"
Roman Lu took one of the knives and tried it twice. He didn't know how to use a knife, but he felt that it felt good.
So Roman Lu asked again: "Besides these, what else can you practice?"
"There will be many more."
Harold Old nodded in response.
He used to feel that life was hopeless, but now, when he sees this master, he doesn't beat or scold him, but even gives him meat to eat!
Although I was a little tired from working as a blacksmith these past two days, I was able to take in energy and have recovered in many aspects.
He sometimes fantasized that maybe one day he could return to his hometown, so he didn't intend to hide anything: "I can also make swords, axes, arrows, and some other tools."
"Well, you don't have to forge iron yourself anymore. I plan to expand the blacksmith shop to ten people, and everyone will get the same treatment!"
Roman Lu waved his hand and said, "Your role is to teach them how to forge iron and make them independent. Do you understand what I mean?"
Roman Lu wanted to train a group of blacksmiths first.
This is the foundation for development.
Harold Old thought for a while and replied, "Master, I understand."
Roman Lu nodded. "Well, I can't let you teach me for nothing. If you can teach someone to forge iron on their own, I'll give you a cow! The better you teach, the bigger the reward!"
Roman Lu also understood the saying of "discarding the donkey after it has done its job", so he explained the benefits in advance.
Harold Old was a little worried at first, but after hearing the last sentence, he was so excited that he completely gave up the idea of keeping something in reserve.
Once you teach this person, he will be like a cow!
Ten people, ten heads!
In this lifetime, you can return to your roots!
Don't think about anything else.
So he hurriedly said respectfully: "The old man has devoted himself to the cause!"
In the north, Ula took three people to investigate and finally returned today.
The three men were shivering with cold.
But once they returned to Zhuangzi, they mostly looked terrified.
"Master, this really scared Ula to death."
According to Ulla.
There was indeed a dense forest one day’s journey to the north!
There are many towering trees.
The kind that more than a dozen people can’t surround.
If we can cut them back, Zhuangzi won’t have to worry about wood anymore.
But the point is.
When they came to the base of a big tree, they actually saw a very scary beast!
The beast was extremely huge, with its claws even bigger than a human head. It was sleeping soundly in a tree hole. If the men hadn't run fast enough, it would have been taken as a snack.
However, based on Owen Wu's description, Roman Lu could basically conclude that it was a hibernating bear.
Roman Lu became interested after listening to this. Bear skins keep warm. There are probably as many bears in the Siberian forest as there are gophers on the grassland!
Except when Ula said the bear was white.
Roman Lu fell silent again.
This ancient magical geographical environment always has many strange things.
Especially during the era of cold weapons, when animal resources were abundant and their range of survival was wide, some ferocious beasts were still terrible natural enemies of human survival.
But Roman Lu still has a system after all.
After pacifying Ula.
Roman Lu then started walking towards Logan Lu Lu again. No matter whether it was a black bear or a white bear, as long as the skin could keep him warm, it was a good bear.
But when Roman Lu arrived at the training ground.
Seeing the ten people on the training ground at Lu University swaying around, he temporarily gave up the idea of hunting the bear.
Only in the cold wind.
Logan Lu Lu is teaching them how to lift stones.
Among the ten people, except for the four who had been to Kucheng with Logan Lu Lu and could still lift it twice, the remaining six were too weak to move. Roman Lu was really worried that they would break their own feet.
"Logan Lu Lu, from now on, your daily meals will be increased to 20 kilograms of meat!"
Roman Lu now urgently hopes that his armed forces can become stronger so that they can be able to fight the enemy when great danger comes.
It is easy to drive away wild beasts when you encounter them.
After all, Siberia has a complex terrain and many species of creatures. When the weather gets cold, wild beasts often run from the forest to the grassland to find food.
When the ten selected "strong men" heard these words, their eyes lit up.
I tried harder to lift the stone, but still couldn't move it.
"Master, I think it's just too cold. Their feet are shivering from the cold." Logan Lu Lu explained.
Roman Lu took a look and saw that everyone's shoes were in tatters.
When this wind blows into your feet, it feels like being pricked by needles.
"If you're cold, move more. Why can't you move when you have meat to eat?"
Roman Lu scolded them, and Logan Lu Lu nodded in agreement. He turned around and yelled at the ten people, increasing his exercise intensity.
At this moment, Roman Lu saw from the corner of his eye a thin figure outside the training ground. It was the skinny boy who was kicked hard in the B*tt by Ula that day, staring at the scene in the training ground.
I couldn't help but ask: "Why is that boy here?"
Logan Lu Lu glanced over there and said in a nonchalant tone: "He wanted to come to train before, but he was too small, so I eliminated him."
Roman Lu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Suddenly, he remembered that there was something more important, so he went back to the tent and called Owen Wu in. "Old Wu, bring back some cowhide and cut it into pieces. Make sure they are big enough to wrap around a foot."
"Cowhide?"
Owen Wu touched his head and said in surprise: "Master, those cowhides are to be exchanged for food next year. If they are cut, they will be worthless!"
"No cowhide will be left. This year, all of them will be cut up. Not a single one will be left! Two pieces of cowhide per piece, 36 pieces! Any leftovers will be used to make shoes!"
Roman Lu said decisively.
"this"
Owen Wu was hesitant at first, but when he saw his master glaring at him, he ran out and did it.
But after a while, Ula ran in again with a panicked look.
He said angrily, "Master, something happened! The people from the Li family are causing trouble again!"
"The Li family?"
"There is also a Li family"
Roman Lu suddenly remembered that there was a Li family farm next door.
He is my only neighbor in this wilderness.
The two families lived next to each other and were of almost the same size, so they were supposed to take care of each other.
I heard from Owen Wu that when the old patriarch was alive, the two families often visited each other and had a very good relationship.
It’s just that after Lu’s father passed away unexpectedly some time ago, his attitude suddenly changed a lot.
Roman Lu was afraid of exposing himself, so he was cautious about the Li family and never approached them.
"Don't panic, go and take a look first!"
Roman Lu put on his clothes, not forgetting to cover himself with the mink fur, and followed Owen Wu out of the tent.
As soon as they arrived at the end of the cowshed, they saw a servant from the Lu family arguing with another person from the Li family with a red face.
The fight between the two was very fierce, but their bodies were so thin that they stood facing each other without any momentum at all, just like weak chickens pecking at each other.
"Master, the fodder we stored for the winter was blown into the Li family's cattle pen by the strong wind, but they actually confiscated it all and insulted us!"
Owen Wu explained, and Roman Lu nodded. He looked up and saw a young man with a gloomy face next to the two of them. He was also wearing a fur coat, but not as exaggerated as Roman Lu's.
He stood there with his hands behind his back, his pair of eagle eyes made people feel uncomfortable.
This man's name is Connor Li.
The same thing as Roman Lu is that he is a young master of a manor.
The difference is that the other party's parents are still alive.
Looking at the two quarreling servants, those from the Li family were mostly teasing, while those from the Lu family looked anxious.
Have to hurry.
After all, what was lost was the owner's fodder, and if the fodder was lost he would have no food for three days.
In this cold weather, if you really go hungry for a few days, it's basically a death sentence.
At this moment, Connor Li, who was standing next to him, saw Roman Lu looking at him. As if to provoke him, he suddenly swung his whip and hit the Lu family servant viciously.
All that was heard was a heart-wrenching wail.
The whip was so fierce that the Lu family servant was knocked to the ground.
