I do research in ancient times

"what are you saying?"

Linka frowned.

He got up from the kang, squinted his eyes and stared at Helan's position for a while, and soon his face changed.

"This is……"

"Yeah yeah!"

Helan looked excited.

"There is a layer embedded in this window, which is shiny, as if it can be pushed away from the inside!"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched it.

"Yo, it's cold."

Uncle Linka also leaned over and stared at the glass window carefully for a long time.

"This thing... is a bit like Liuli..."

"what?"

Helan was taken aback.

"It's that expensive gemstone you mentioned before? A small piece can be exchanged for many sheep?"

Linka stroked the beard on his cheek, nodding thoughtfully.

"It's similar, but not exactly the same."

"There is a big port in South County called Luodong. Ships from the sea pass through Luodong to enter the ancient waterway of the Nanjiang River. When I follow the boats there, I often see red-haired merchants. They like to sell all kinds of goods. Something made of colored glaze."

"But although it is colorful, it is very muddy inside, not so clear."

"Mr. Ning's method of making colored glaze is unpredictable, I'm afraid it's also his handwriting."

"Oh."

Helan let out a long sigh of relief.

"So it's not a gem."

It made him break out in a cold sweat.

It's fine if it's man-made. Anyway, Mr. Ning must be much smarter than those red-haired Fanyi. It's not surprising that the glass he made is clear and pure.

If it was really a natural gem set on the window, then he...wouldn't dare to touch the window panel, and he wouldn't be able to pay for it if it broke.

"Mr. Ning is really amazing."

Helan sighed sincerely.

"It can make such clear colored glaze and inlay it on the window frame, so that you can see the outside without opening the window."

"This is how we live in Donghu. No matter how strong the wind is in Keteng Mountain, the sun can still shine into the house with the windows closed, but it's so bright!"

Hearing his exclamation, Linka rarely showed a smile.

He shook his head, "Not only."

The capable middle-aged man pushed open the glass window, and then gently stroked the flat and smooth glass.

"It's trivial to use here, the telescope built by Mr. Ning is really powerful!"

Linka learned the name "Telescope" from Ning Fei. He thought it was a good name, and he could indeed see very far places with two lens tubes.

With a telescope, the field of view of the bow head will be greatly expanded, not only to detect emergencies on the sea early, but also to identify ships to avoid collisions.

This thing is simply a sharp weapon, once you use it, you can never put it down again.

When returning the binoculars to Mr. Ning Xiao, Linka was extremely reluctant, and wished he could carry this treasure with him all the time and never separate it again.

But he also knew that this thing was extremely precious.

Aside from other things, just those few pieces of crystal clear as ice, if they were to be put on the market, they might not be sold at a sky-high price, but it was not something that ordinary sailors like him could afford.

It’s just that he understands the truth, and every time he thinks about it, he still feels extremely regretful. His loss aroused Helan’s curiosity. He was in charge of adjusting the mast and sails on the boat. He had seen Ning Fei and Linka holding the round iron cylinder, but he didn’t know that. What are things used for.

When Linka described the usage of the telescope with him in detail, Helan, the leader of Hanhai Lake, slapped his thigh in frustration.

"Oh my brother! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Damn!If I had known about this miraculous thing, who would play with the spinnaker? !It must be holding the steering wheel and not letting go!Thinking that the addiction along the way has been passed on to others, Helan was so angry that he wanted to take a bite of himself.

Isn't it good to be smart?Why do you have to think about becoming a sailor?What a wasted opportunity!

I don't know that Mr. Ning Xiao hasn't been out to sea recently, so let him open his eyes too!

After being annoyed for a long time, he still remembered his identity, so he turned to business.

"Brother Linka."

Holland wiped his face.

"Next, what are your plans?"

he asked straight to the point.

Linka is one of the most powerful leaders in the three divisions of Donghu. He once sailed with the Central Plains caravan for ten years, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves.If he hadn't been unwilling to sign a pact with the master's family back then, he wouldn't have stayed in Nanshi City.

This time Linka took the initiative to ask to come to Jiuling City. In fact, there were voices of opposition among the three tribes.

Some people were afraid that Linka would take away the shipbuilding skills of the three tribes, some people questioned that Mr. Ning wanted to take people for his own use, and some even worried that Linka raised his arms, and a group of capable young sailors would follow him and leave the three tribes. The tribal strength is damaged.

But in front of the crystal clear salt, these voices of doubt are always mosquitoes. Most of the three tribes are grateful to Mr. Ning, and they don't think it is necessary for those who can build a sailboat to lie about their shipbuilding skills.

As for Linka's boss, he can go wherever he wants, who can control it except his wife?

But Linka didn't ask for a wife!What's wrong with a man who is alone, wanting to go out to sea and ride the waves!

As a result, the voice of opposition quickly weakened, which turned into a wave of chasing Linka.

Because Bailukou was occupied by Xihu people, the young sailors of Sanbu have not had the opportunity to go to sea for a long time.Accustomed to the wide freedom on the Amur River, the restraint of being forced to stay in the city can drive people crazy!Therefore, even though they knew that the voyage was risky and that they might encounter the Xihu people head-on, many young sailors eagerly signed up.

Before leaving, Mr. Ning Xiao also made it clear that the return date is temporarily uncertain due to the route and wind direction, and it is likely to stay in Jiuling City for a period of time. It is recommended that people with families stay as much as possible. There are still many opportunities.

Some people gave up regretfully, and some people were lucky enough to make up their seats. After calculating the total number, a total of 30 people from the three tribes of Donghu boarded the reverse sailing boat.

Among them, there were 20 captains and sailors, and the remaining ten were shipwrights, led by Helan.

However, although Helan is the Patriarch of Young Master Baike, Linka is superior in terms of qualifications and prestige, so Helan wants to ask him what he thinks first.

"I'm going to stay and see."

Sure enough, Linka said so.

"If there is a boat here, I am willing to give it a try."

"You have seen the scene of disembarking, right? Everything here is different from any other place. Many things are brand new. I have never seen them in my life."

"Mr. Ning can make the big ship sail against the wind only by modifying the sails. I don't understand the reason he said, but I saw it in the end. I really got here without using oarsmen."

"I still remember that he said it was a stopgap in an emergency. If a complete sea ship can be built, I can't imagine what kind of miracle it will be."

Having said that, Rinka suddenly sighed, looking at Helan with complicated eyes.

"The sea is the love of my life. Now that I am not young, there are not many days to go to sea. If I am lucky enough to encounter such an opportunity, I must seize it."

"But you are different from me. You are Baike's young patriarch. You have your responsibilities. Naturally, you can't be as casual as I am."

"But I still want to advise you, stay for a while and see what Mr. Ning's city looks like. The three tribes of Donghu have been trapped in Keten Mountain for generations, and they can only be trapped to death if the river is blocked by Xihu. , This loss should also make some people in the clan understand that being trapped can only kill themselves."

"In the past, if we wanted to go to sea, we had to rely on businessmen. Those aristocratic families in Nanjun never took us Donghu sailors seriously, and took strict precautions against us, for fear that we would learn their secret techniques."

"I see Mr. Ning. He doesn't seem to have any prejudice against Hu people. There are many Hu people in Jiuling City, most of whom are descendants of Xihu people. People here treat them like brothers."

"Your brother Ye Suli, his son grew up here. Mr. Ning did not forbid him to learn skills, so Mr. Ning is a good man with a broad mind. He can treat businessmen and barbarians equally, just like the craftsman Nada That said, this is the real land of equality."

"Donghu people never retaliate, but they must also be aware of each other's weight. You can see clearly with your own eyes whether you are a reliable friend or a terrible opponent. Maybe this is the opportunity that the gods bestowed on the three divisions of Donghu."

It was rare for Rinka to say so many words in one breath, and Helan listened very carefully.

He came to Jiuling City this time, on the one hand to escort his benefactor back to the city, and on the other hand to save the clansmen who came with him. This was a secret mission entrusted to him by the chiefs of the three tribes.

Thanks to the map of the sailing boat, [-] shipwrights and sailors from the three departments came over, including three generations of old, middle-aged and young people, and they are all masters among the tribes.

Although it can't be said to be fully mobilized, the muscles and bones are indeed moved.In case the other party has other ideas, then he can't let everyone be bullied for nothing, he must find a way to bring people back.

So along the way, Helan seemed to be relaxed and comfortable, but in fact, he was also beating drums in his heart.

He has been observing Ning Fei and Feng Kai, but his eyes are about to pop out, and he can only see that these two people were intimate and ambiguous before, and there must have been a couple of legs.

Herlan: ...

It's... nothing.After all, it is common for brothers to "help each other" on board, and it is not surprising that there is such a custom in the industry.

As for other worries, looking at it now, the chiefs of the three tribes really think too much.

Helan is not a fool who has never seen the world. He has been to Ximozhihai and Yechao Border Town several times, so he naturally knows that everything in Jiuling City is unique and magical, and contains the power to change the world.

In this comparison, Helan felt that he didn't have such a big face when he insisted that others plotted against their shipbuilding skills and craftsmen.

Anyway, the wind direction is not right now, and we have to wait to return to the city, so why not stay here and learn more.

Facts have proved that Jiuling Lake did not disappoint the Young Patriarch of Helan at all.

As soon as noon arrived, the team leader Hassler appeared on time outside the door of the dormitory at the pier, with a pleasant smile and a hospitable attitude.

"Are you ready, everyone? It's lunch time."

"In order to welcome everyone, today, the food room is preparing for everyone to welcome the talents. There are Biancheng Double "Braised Pork" and "Niu Po ​​Tofu". These are good things that must not be missed!"

Speaking of this, Hassler couldn't help but swallowed, secretly thinking that it was great that Aunt Niu could return to the city.

Braised pork is never enough to eat, and Niu Po's tofu is still delicious. Today's guests are really lucky!
