Chapter 66 Textile Machines and Dyes
In the history of China, wheat replaced millet and became the main grain product in the north because its yield far exceeded millet (millet). Winter wheat can be grown in autumn. However, considering that the winter temperature in this era is much lower than that in ancient China, Lin Fan planned to build a simple greenhouse to try it.
"Let him go, you won't blame me, right?" Uesugi Yuying spitted out her cute tongue, and Lin Fan handed the wheat to the girl, "Of course I will punish you, so warm the bed for me tonight!"
"What are you fighting!"
In the early morning, dark clouds dissipated and when the blue sky appeared, the Han tribe heard the laughter of children. After the flood, the Han tribe began to clean up the mud and some debris.
Lin Fan issued an order: Any animal corpse that drowned is absolutely not allowed to be eaten, and it is caught and whipped ten times; people with fever and cold must stay in their room and not be allowed to come out, and there is a special person responsible for their diet.
At noon, Lin Fan was still rescuing a few live soybean seedlings. Zhan Hu led his men to patrol the northwest and met strange tribes. As soon as the two sides met, a conflict broke out.
Zhan Hu waved the bronze broadsword in his hand. Those who held the bone stick could not stop the God of War. After slashing seven or eight people, Zhan Hu swept around. The other Zhi Ge Guwei stopped the movements in his hand, and all the enemies knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"The women and children who found them and took them back!"
In the Great Yuan Room, Ye Su was sweating profusely. He found that he had never heard of the other party's language, and he had a strange and single vocabulary, "Chief, I have never heard of it."
Lin Fan waved his hand: "Forget it, these more than 30 prisoners are handed over to Yue for treatment. Everyone except the children can be classified as labor."
Zhan Hu turned around and went out to make arrangements. Lin Fan glanced at Ye Su: "Ye Su, do you want to leave the school and do something else?"
Yesu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He couldn't make a name for himself when teaching language. There were more and more outstanding young people in the Han tribe. He was under great pressure, especially his women always urged him to build a new house. Unfortunately, his tribe did not contribute enough.
"Yesu is willing to obey the leader's arrangements."
"Well, I plan to train the deserters who are exclusively part of the Han tribe. They are responsible for moving in major tribes, collecting information and drawing maps. Are you interested?" Lin Fan's words surprised Yesu very much. This was something that allowed him to dominate a field, and it must be a position of title.
"Will! I'm so tired of the leader!" Yesu knelt down on one knee, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Then you pick people from the tribe. I'll see your five candidates in 10 days."
......
Time passed, more than ten days passed since the heavy rain. The reconstruction of the houses of the Han tribe was over, and the construction of the stone walls still did not stop. Zhigewei was patrolling every day, and the frequency of wild animals was captured in autumn became higher and higher.
Lin Fan and Qicao talked about the issue of weights and measures at home. Lin Fan threw him a wooden stick, "The distance is so much. If you ask Lu to make such a long wooden ruler, you will use rice to indicate the distance in the future."
Qicao nodded. He didn't understand how the leader thought of formulating the unit "mi". Of course, Lin Fan would not tell him that he used a ruler to gesture on his legs in real time, remembering the position of the soles of his feet to his thighs. There might be a little error, but the problem is not big.
As soon as Qicao left, a fat guy in black and white appeared in the hall, "Oh? You are so rare! What are the beautiful girl in Xiang in my room for doing?" Lin Fan stretched and greeted Xiangxiang, a fool.
"Yeah!"
After Xiangxiang screamed twice, three wolf cubs rushed in. They roared around Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang slapped one, and then sat on a wolf cub, "Aww!"
They were very happy. Lin Fan just thought they were noisy, especially Xiangxiang, which had no use except eating. "Well, if you eat other things in winter, you should be considered an emergency risk after eating." Lin Fan touched his chin and stared at Xiangxiang's body.
Xiangxiang seemed to feel Lin Fan's malice and wanted to run away. Of course, Lin Fan would not let it go easily. When she walked over and prepared to rub her, "Lin Fan, the textile machine was created!"
Lin Fan just turned around and Xiangxiang took the opportunity to escape, "Be civilized, that's called it being made." Lin Fan pinched Uesugi Youying's face, "Where is the woven cloth? Let's take a look."
"Star Fruit is taken away, you know that tribal girls now attach great importance to this matter." Uesugi Yuying smiled. The current aesthetics of tribal women began to change, and Uesugi Yuying and Star Fruit are the "culprits".
After the relationship between Uesugi Yuying and Lin Fan was established, the women in the tribe believed that only when the skin and hair became the same as that of Yuying, could they attract smart people to like it.
The women of the tribe began to clean up their hair and were no longer as messy as before as chicken coops. The wooden comb was naturally born, and the creator was Xingguo. Of course, Lin Fan would not expose it was the matter of You Ying sect Xingguo.
"You have never been home these days. You hid in that house with Xingguo every night. You won't get dyes out by the way, right?" Lin Fan guessed that he had asked Uesugi Youying to collect hematite powder in the past few days.
The first thing to use for linen dyeing is red powder and the rhizomes of some plants. Perhaps an organization similar to a clothing factory should be set up.
Uesugi Youying didn't expect Lin Fan to think so soon, "That's not that I don't want to go home at night, I'm working hard for the tribe!"
"Is that so? Then come here and I will reward you!" Lin Fan stretched out his demonic hand, scaring the girl backed up repeatedly. The two of them made a little noise, and Lin Fan said seriously: "I used to make burlap bags to prevent floods, but now there is not much hemp."
The girl leaned on Lin Fan's shoulder and replied softly: "Well, Yue finally wanted to give me some sesame seeds for experiments. She is very stingy now."
"Understand, you can send people downstream to find the Ma Nu tribe. Zhi Gewei should also have a unified outfit. Just use your red dye on them." Lin Fan likes red, and the army of the Han Dynasty also used red cloth.
The guard heard the voice of the Suzaku Guard: "Chief, Commander Xing is back!"
When Lin Fan and Uesugi Youying arrived at the wooden wall, there was a jubilation here. The soldiers who came from the expedition hugged and cried with their women. Xing saw Lin Fan appear and came to him with Huang and Ya.
Holding Xing's arm: "No need to kneel down, it's been a hard journey!"
"Chief, I'll bring back the things!" Xing did not disappoint Lin Fan's expectations, "Okay! The achievements are for generations, and future generations will remember your expedition." Lin Fan did not hesitate to his praise.
Xing was deeply moved. Every time he traveled, a tribe member would die on the road. The leader's words affirmed their expedition value.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Four bonfires were lit in the square, and the tribe members began to shout wildly, and the injured cow also ended its life.
