Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 259 Advent (7)
After finishing speaking, Bellion told them about the importance of floodgates in terms of flood and drought regulation, etc., and finally convinced Mark and Liano. Although he could force them to do it, he would let others deal with it with confusion and confusion.
There is a difference in efficiency between objecting to doing things and doing things after thinking about it and knowing the benefits of doing it.
In addition to the locks, Balian also told them about shipbuilding. However, at present, the craftsmen who can build ships in Nolandenburg can only make fishing boats and small transport ships, and they cannot build the big ships that Balian wants.
.
However, Balian was not worried. As a model enthusiast in his previous life, ship models were a must-play item. On his way back, he made several sailboat models with his own hands and handed them over to Hama after he came back.
He also told Hama some of his knowledge about shipbuilding, and Balian also drew detailed dimensional drawings for Hama to see. He hoped that Hama could imitate it within two or three years, even if it is a kind of ship.
.
However, Balian knew that shipbuilding, even if it was just a wooden ship, was an industry with high technical barriers. It was not something you could just build if you wanted to.
In his previous life, Balian visited a museum in Quanzhou and saw that his ship had dozens of types of nails. Without senior craftsmen and skilled craftsmen, it would be impossible to build a ship.
And it’s not just a technical issue, the materials used for shipbuilding are also a big issue. The wood usually used to build large ships not only needs to be selected, but also needs to be dried in the shade for three to five years before it can be used for shipbuilding.
There is no shortage of timber and Balian. After all, there are only a lot of trees on the north and south banks of the Karl River. However, there is less shade-dried wood, and Balian cannot wait three to five years.
Although there is no time to wait for the wood to dry naturally, you can choose other methods, such as fumigation, which is a method commonly used in the past to dry wood. It can quickly dehydrate the logs without damaging the quality of the logs.
However, for smoke-drying wood, Balian only knew that a smoke-drying kiln should be built and a flue should be installed. He didn't know anything else. He could only tell Hama everything he knew.
Let Hama and his men find a solution.
Balian thought to himself, if it doesn't work, you can figure it out after a year and a half of trying. I'll just wait.
Although, as a person from modern society, Balian has seen a lot in terms of technology, it is already difficult to use some not-so-advanced technologies in the medieval era, especially if he has no ability to do it himself and relies on this time and space.
It is even more difficult for an outstanding craftsman to do it.
However, Balian also knows that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. When it comes to technological development, he is not in a hurry. He tells Hama and other outstanding craftsmen some things and lets them experiment, think, and discover.
Many technical problems are not difficult to say. In the final analysis, it is just a layer of window paper. By piercing this layer of window paper, they will naturally discover a lot of things. Technological progress and productivity improvement are also just around the corner.
.
Anyway, I am only twenty years old, so I am not worried because Nolandon's technology will suddenly explode. If that happens, I will be a kid holding gold to get through the bustling city. It will definitely arouse the jealousy of many people. By then, I don't know how many people will come.
Steal yourself.
Besides, it is difficult for one person to change the world, but start with the people around you and let them slowly affect more people while changing. Over time, it will naturally have an impact on the entire society.
After talking about the sluice and shipbuilding, even though their faces hurt from the cold wind, Balian and the others also wanted to play in the snow. Therefore, Balian and the others ran towards the lake with great interest.
Prick and slide, have fun.
Over the past year, as a twenty-year-old young man, I have shouldered a lot of responsibilities and experienced too many things. I have not had much time to relax myself. Now I finally have a chance to have some fun.
.
After playing around for a while, Bellian and the others met several waves of people fishing and children playing around. Bellian and the others were also hit with snowballs by a group of children having a snowball fight. Of course, these guys,
Not being the one to suffer, the master immediately grabbed the snow from the ground, balled it up into a ball, and then fought back.
However, there were only a few of them, and there were many children. Soon the few of them were beaten by more than a dozen children, making them run away in panic.
After running to a place where the little guys couldn't catch up, Balian and the others were breathing heavily, and their fur clothes and hats were all wet from the snow. On the shore in the distance, the guards were holding the horses while
He looked helplessly at these big shots who had not yet grown up.
Some people say that men are children who never grow up. In fact, it is true. Many men, even if they have successful careers and are mature and stable, still have a child in their hearts. There are always times when they want to be a child and play wantonly.
In this way, although it sounds incredible, an adult man who is burdened with the pressure of life and work will feel very relaxed after playing with a few childhood friends, as if he has recharged his batteries. This is also
It can be regarded as a kind of mental therapy, and it is effective for many people after work.
After they finished playing and walked slowly towards the shore, when they crossed a reed bush, they heard two familiar voices talking behind the island not far away.
A man and a woman, warm and friendly, the man is funny and humorous, he keeps teasing the woman, and also pulls the woman to play and slip. The woman is gentle and enthusiastic, laughing happily all the time, and occasionally scolds the man angrily, which makes her laugh.
When the man heard this, he laughed stupidly.
Balian and the others collectively turned to look at Huck, only to see him blush, then smile awkwardly, and said slowly: "My mother told me that Uncle Bess is a nice person and treats her very well."
After finishing speaking, Huck took a deep breath and continued: "After my mother married my father, her life has been very unsatisfactory. How can she live a good life after marrying an alcoholic? Now there is a reliable man.
Not only do I not mind that she is a commoner, but I also mind that she already has a son, and he is so old, so why should I object."
After hearing this, Balian patted Huck on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, "Good boy, you are really good. I saw you right. Your mother must be very pleased that you can think so clearly."
, Huck.”
Huck touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said to Balian: "Sir, let's just pretend we didn't hear you and let's go. Otherwise, if we bump into them, we'd be embarrassed not to say anything, and they'd be embarrassed too. That wouldn't be very good."
good……"
Balian chuckled softly. He put his arm around Harker's shoulders and said to him: "You are so confused. Sir Bess is my inner knight. He is willing to marry your mother. I will definitely support it, but they
If you develop an underground love affair without letting me know about it, some people really don't take me as a lord seriously, so I'm going to criticize them face to face."
"Master, please don't, I..." Huck said anxiously. This chapter has been completed!
