Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 272
After chatting for a while, Luo Qing said, "General, we two hit it off right away, so I'll call you brother from now on."

Cangzhou's elder brother is a special appellation. It's not that this person is older than you and yells his elder brother, but a title similar to boss and lord.

Chai Lin said, "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Luo from now on."

"Please take care of me in the future. It's too difficult for us Tamna people. Koreans bully us, Dongying people bully us, and occasionally pirates harass us. It's hard to live." Luo Qing said.

Chai Lin said: "Brother Luo, don't be sad. My brother is here, and good days will come in the future. Xie Bao, go and get the present for the king."

Luo Qing was quite puzzled, what gift had to be rushed.

After a while, a carriage appeared, pulled by two strong green mules with big red flowers on their foreheads.Looking at the carriage again, Luo Qing was stunned. The royal family of the Song Dynasty had never ridden in this kind of carriage before. The drawing on the body was a dragon, and if you look closely, it was a four-clawed dragon.There must be a big difference between a king and an emperor, and he definitely would not use a five-clawed dragon.The trim of the body is resplendent, the wheels of the four wheels are resplendent, and there are beautiful crystals on the body.

"Wow, this car is so beautiful." Luo Qing said.

Chai Lin said: "It's more than just beautiful. The body is all gold-plated, the windows are glazed, the four wheels are independently suspended, and the comfort is very high. Moreover, this car is specially made, and only people at the level of emperors and kings can wear it." Others don’t have the qualifications to take a ride. King Dashi spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to order one, but I didn’t even make it for him.”

Luo Qing was so happy, as if a child got a good toy.

But Luo Qing was very embarrassed, no one under his command would drive the mule cart.

Chai Lin said: "Let Brother Xie Bao drive the car, Brother Luo feel it."

Luo Qing sat in the four-wheeled carriage, the seat was so soft that it seemed to wrap him up.Xie Bao drove the car around the camp.

It feels so comfortable and not bumpy at all.

Lu Da said: "Brother, I gave away such a good carriage, why don't I give away two horses, and why get two big green mules."

"Horses are hard to control and have a bad temper. It's better to be a mule, and you can rest assured when pulling a cart." Chailin said.

After a while, Jie Bao came back driving a four-wheeled carriage.

Luo Qing still couldn't open the car door, so Xie Bao opened it for him.

Chai Lin asked, "Brother Luo, is the ride comfortable?"

Luo Qing said: "It's very comfortable, very comfortable. But no one in my clan knows how to use a mule cart."

"It doesn't matter, just keep a few strong men, and I will arrange training for them, and they can learn it in ten and a half months." Chailin said.

"Okay, okay. I will choose five strong men to stay for training today." Luo Qing said.

Xie Bao temporarily acted as the carriage coach, and was in charge of asking Dan Luo Wang to train the coachman.

The task of negotiation was overfulfilled, Luo Qing went back happily.

The busyness of Chai Lin and others on Tamna Island has just begun. The sword and shield soldiers picked up their hoes while undergoing restorative training. [-] mu of vegetable gardens and [-] mu of farms.For things like vegetables, long-distance resupply is a little troublesome, so it’s better to self-seed. You don’t need too much, just enough to eat.

In the seasons of late spring and early summer, Jeju Island is already very hot. Chai Lin, Lu Da, Dian Zhengnan, Liu Tang and others, as well as a hundred soldiers with swords and shields, are digging the ground with hoes. Although it is work , but the weapon is not far away, and there are still people guarding around.

The land here is quite fertile, but there is too much grass. It takes a long time to turn the waste grass into a vegetable field, and a basket of grass roots can be dug out in a place the size of a table.

Lu Da sighed: "Sajia finally understands the difficulties of farmers. It is completely digging food from the soil. It is more difficult to open up a wasteland than the Sajia to pull up trees."

Liu Tang joked, "Commander Lu, your madman fighting skills are very good, but your ability to do farm work is mediocre."

"What's wrong with Sajia's ability to do farm work?"

"Your ability to do farm work is not enough to make a living, hahaha." Everyone laughed, and the soldiers laughed too. The soldiers were all from peasant households, and doing farm work is all about tricks. Ruda really can't do farm work. , it doesn't look good at first glance.

Lu Da was not angry either, and said with a smile, "Big Dian is even better at digging than Sajia. You can see that he digs the soil like embroidery. But my brother is really good, I didn't expect to be able to dig the ground."

Chai Lin said, "I'm just setting an example for you so that you won't have any objections."

But the soldiers really have no objections. Compared with the intensive training day after day, it is much more refreshing to cultivate the land, talking, laughing, and chatting.

After the navy and three hundred craftsmen built the port, the navy Fuchuan No. [-] and Fuchuan No. [-] went to the sea for tactical exercises.

The three hundred strong men of the Tamra people had already been driven away. Apart from being able to fish, they couldn't do anything else, and they didn't have anything left to eat.Because there are more women in Tamra than men, and women do all the usual work, so their men are relatively useless.

Near the port, three hundred craftsmen were divided into six groups, each with 50 people.

A group found a suitable clay land and used the tools and red bricks brought by the Dafu boat to build a brick kiln and mud to model and make bricks. The yellow mud bricks must be dried in the shade before they can be fired.

The second group found a small hill and went to cut trees. First, they needed some branches as fuel, and second, they needed wood to build houses.

The three groups went to mine stones, building docks, building barracks, and building houses needed stones to lay the foundation, but Tamna Island had the most stones, and there were stones everywhere in the small hills.

Groups four, five, and six also went to reclaim vegetable fields.It is convenient to eat seafood by the sea, but I still prefer to eat vegetables. The big fish and seafood sent by Tamna people are okay after a few days. After a long time, I will get tired of it. Moreover, eating too much seafood will cause joint pain. I still miss eating vegetables. What's more, the weather has just warmed up, the soil is fertile, water and fertilizer are sufficient, green beans, cowpeas, small rapeseed, loofah, wax gourd and so on.

The accommodation of the craftsmen was in a tent camp built not far from the port. The tents they used were worse than those used by the military, but it was summer, so there was no problem.

Everyone is working on the vegetable fields near the port.

The master craftsman planned the vegetable fields according to the well-tac-toe plan, and designed the canals at the beginning of reclamation to ensure that the river water can flow to each field to irrigate the fields.After the vegetable field is built, it will be the place where the artisans grow and eat. Everyone works very hard, and comparing food and drink is the most important thing.

Chai Lin brought Dian Zhengnan and Liu Tang over.

Everyone greeted Chai Lin one after another, and some said, "Hello, owner."

Some said: "Hello, my lord."

Chai Lin said: "Everything is fine, everything is fine, and I've been here for a few days, are you still getting used to it? Feel free to ask if you have any comments about food and drink."

A young man in his 20s said: "What's your opinion? I think it's just that the food is so good. I eat fish and shrimp every day, and I tend to miss my wife."

"Hahaha, the young man is strong, it's inevitable, bear with it, and when the house is built, I'll arrange for you to go home and work." Chai Lin patted the young man on the shoulder and said.

The young man said: "I won't go back. I'll wait for the opportunity to serve as a soldier. Besides, for the same job, here I get [-] cash more than at home in subsidies a month, and the round trip by boat is still considered wages. The money the adults gave us is really worthless." Gotta say."

"Okay, if you don't want to go back, you can work with peace of mind. I will find a way to give it to you later. Those who have wives will take over their wives, and those who don't have wives will introduce someone. Let's build a house here and settle down. We can also keep our wives and children warm. "Chai Lin said.

A group leader said: "Master Chai, will this be ours from now on?"

"Yes, that's right, this huge place is ours. You are the first batch of builders. When you settle down and build the village, you can stay and own a house of your own if you like. But, here There are Koryo pirates and Dongying pirates, and if you want to gain a foothold, you have to risk your life, and I told everyone before coming that once you fight against pirates, you will have a generous bonus, a bonus of two taels of silver for each pirate." Chailin said.
