Chapter 51: Fishing in the River
Chapter 51: On Fishing in the River
The rain stopped for three days, but the rain was not heavy. The water conservancy facilities carried out with the land reclamation were not even used. As soon as the rain stopped, the roads were not dry yet, the territory began to become active one after another, and a new round of construction began. In the early morning, Li Zhi withdrew from the torrent of heaven and earth, felt his own will, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Winster, the message from Elder Stewart."
Lina walked over with her box where the message was conveyed. There was a note inside: "Having reached the core of the evil land, the corpse was angry and retreated to the evil space, and was about to launch an attack on the fire soon." The first mission of the first act of the dark scene has begun, but Bishuboshu guarded all the teams in the hamlet at the junction of the Candras Plain and the Rekto Wasteland, otherwise the hunting of the Destroyed Demons can already begin.
When there is no extremely powerful force, the individual's force is extremely small in front of the Hell Legion. At this time, Li Zhi could only find the team of the destruction that is no more than two hundred to three hundred. Unfortunately, the golden crow flew in the sky for a long time and could not find such a team. Bi Xubosu seemed to know that the human power was concentrated, and all the troops had shrunk. It seemed that everything could only be waited until Bi Xubosu was killed and the destruction legion was broken up before it could be mixed.
"The ship at the dock has been built in the past two days. Today, the road has not dried up and it is not easy to travel. Let's go and see our new ship." The ship at the dock is not a simple wooden ship, but a wooden main body mixed with "special cement" for connection construction. The results were ideal during the experiment. "It's great, I've long wanted to go to the river to have some fun."
"Bo help!" There was a knock on the door outside the door. At this time, only a few maids could knock on the door. "Come in, the door is not closed." Belle came in. She walked to Li Zhi and Lina in small steps. "Sir, madam, Lasvia's maid Lan Daier came over to ask where we were today."
"Reply to them, we are going to the dock. The weather just turned around, the road was a little muddy, and it was not suitable for travel outside. Belle, take the breakfast you prepared with you, take my fishing rod on the boat, and take them to the market to take a look when you come back." Li Zhi told Belle about the arrangement of today's itinerary, and she would tell Lasvia.
As the weather improves, the temperature begins to rise, winter has passed, and spring has truly arrived. It is located in the south, unlike the north forever covered with ice and snow. Especially in the north, there is also the incarnation of the Salva Black Forest, Evernis, the incarnation of the Salva Black Forest. A large forest itself can regulate the climate, not to mention a living forest. Therefore, the climate next to this black forest is excellent, which is extremely conducive to plant growth and will not have any excessively harsh weather.
"This is the dock." Li Zhi, led by the craftsmen who manage the dock in the Craftsmen Guild, began to visit this increasingly formed dock. In some places upstream of the river, there is a small boat dock where all kinds of boats are produced. Now many small boats have been on the river. The fish in the river have never been salvaged, but the number is amazing. Anyone can go back with a full load after just one net. This has also made the food of the civilians in the town recently, and they have started to cook sweet potatoes and fish soup.
There is a huge ship docked on the dock. Of course, this huge ship is also for locals. It is not very huge for Lasvia, who has been to King Harbor and seen ocean-going ships, but it is not small. Just seeing this ship, Lasvia has already gained confidence in the future inland shipping. Once this ship is used for shipping, it is much more convenient than by land.
Not surprised by the size of the ship, what surprised her was that the structure of the ship was actually solidified with wood as the backbone, and the whole ship was connected by resin to solidify into an extremely tough whole. "Mr. Winster, do you have a lot of witchcraft resin here? Can it be used to build ships?" Anti-witchcraft resin is a specialty in the forest. In the Kingdom of Westma, there are not many such trees in the area of the former Salva Black Forest.
The amount of this type of resin is extremely large. Fortress walls in various places, various constructions of the nobles of the kingdom, and armor for soldiers. With the output of the kingdom, it is really a drop in the bucket to deal with the entire kingdom. For some reason, such trees are difficult to survive as long as they are moved, and this forest cannot be expanded.
"There are many such trees in the Salva Black Forest, but now I am only enough. In the future, this type of resin may not be enough." Li Zhi once saw Rogue use this resin a lot when building a city. He thought it was a very common thing. Now, from Lasvia's tone, this resin seems to be a rare thing.
"Salva Black Forest, that's a shame." The King of Forest is easy to deal with for the Druids, but if someone else goes over, it's hard to say. In the forest, the King of Forest is comparable to the legendary realm. There are countless powerful mutant beast guards in the forest, which are not something that ordinary forces can deal with. It is said that many years ago, even heaven was defeated in front of those Kings of Forests.
The resin was originally transparent, but after watering and solidifying, it was no longer transparent, but turned into a light white substance. Therefore, the ship seemed to be a white ship at this time. The shape of this ship was Li Zhi selected from ancient inland shipping cargo ships and did not choose modern ships. The reason is very simple. The power of modern ships is completely different from that of ancient ships. With the Winster collar at this time, where can diesel power come from? Not to mention fuel power, even steam power is not.
The choice of ancient ships was just right for this world. In this era, the power was divided into three categories: one was sail and the other was oar. If you sail against the current, the water flow was too high, and you might even have to take a boatman. The record of Hradim mentioned that the main part of the entire river flowed smoothly.
During the communication with Iversi, I also learned that the altitude here is not high, and the information given to him was that the drop was only about thirty meters. The drop of thirty meters was thirty meters, spanning thousands of miles from east to west, and the water flow rate was not great. The area upwards of the Candras Plain is not good, and the terrain of the entire continent began to rise from there, and the water flow rate was faster, but the area where Li Zhi valued the most was relatively gentle, which was enough.
When Li Zhi came over, there were sailors on the boat learning the technique of sail control. The territory did not produce fabrics yet, and the canvas of the boat were purchased by Li Zhi from the world. Although inland shipping is good, it would not work if there were not enough sailors. This problem was immediately raised by the craftsman guild when the ship was being built. Fortunately, there were several people in the Iron Wolves who had experience in sailing at sea, and one of them had served as the captain. Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this.
The Iron Wolf was transferred directly from the Guards to the Craftsman Guild to participate in the construction of ships, and at the same time taught navigation knowledge. Because of his navigation technology and understanding of ships, he served as an important position in the newly established Shipping and Shipping General Office in the Interior Affairs Office. This was the earliest Iron Wolf who entered the internal affairs system.
Li Zhi also intentionally did this matter. With the ability of the Iron Wolf, he was unable to take responsibility, but he promoted it in an extraordinary way. This made many Iron Wolf mages see hope and become more and more devoted to Li Zhi. Li Zhi expressed his attitude here. They are guards, but they will not always be guards.
Although these Iron Wolf Mages are not wizards, they are not as good as those of wizards in many places. A powerful force must not only be powerful in the open, but also be powerful in the secret.
Iron Wolf was originally a training and storage for major wizard families in the East Continent. It is a power similar to a knight, but it is more strict and powerful than a knight. They deal with the power in the dark for their masters all year round, and have experience in this area. The ability to escort Lina from the East Continent to the Western Continent in the Supreme Council fully proves their abilities and abilities.
Li Zhi planned to form a dark force with them as the core. In addition to guarding the Knights, there must be an external Dark Blade Knight in the territory. This group will spread to various places in Candras with commercial operations, most of which are ordinary people, and the core forces will be mainly beast soul warriors.
As soon as we got on the boat, the captain of the ship came to report to Li Zhi about the test situation and the crew's learning and training. The result was quite ideal. The ship itself was a classic shape and could stand the test. "Driving the boat to the center of the river, Aris, moving the table and chairs up, we would go to the boat to eat today's breakfast."
The superior said, the people below were busy, and Li Zhi said, the iron wolf brought by Aris stepped on the pedal and then went up, and the sailors on the boat also put away the anchor tied to the shore. At this time, there was no need to open the sails and paddle directly. After getting on the boat, the boat was quickly rowed to the middle of the river.
"Belle, bring my fishing rod." Of course, Li Zhi's fishing rod is not a famous rod. The rod is made of this world, but the lines and hooks are bought from the main world and then made them by themselves. There are also earthworms in this world. Li Zhi tried the earthworms a few times, and the fish in this world also like to eat them, so the fish can be fished.
Fishing is a sport that Li Zhi likes very much. Many years ago, at the beginning of his practice, he couldn't calm down and used the help of fishing to temper his mind. "Winster, what is this?" Linna asked curiously. He knew that Li Zhi named this fishing rod, but he didn't know what it was for. Lasvia, who came with him, was also very curious.
Li Zhi put the earthworm on the hook and put the fishing line down. He just put the rod and ignored it. He just put a little thought on the rod and closed the line as soon as there is movement. "You will know later." After doing this, Li Zhi stood at the bow of the boat and looked back and said to Lasvia: "Rafting in the river, enjoy the scenery of mountains and rivers. It is also a joy in life to be like this in his spare time. Come, the princess, please have a meal."
Lasvia smiled brightly at Lee Ji and sat down generously: "I may know the function of the rod just now." Lina suddenly realized at this time: "Winster, is this rod used to catch fish? There is food for fish to eat on the hook. Once the fish is eaten, it will be hooked by the hook. Do you use the rod to pull the fish out of the water, right?"
"I think so too." Lasvia smiled. "Sir, if you want to eat fish, you can catch it directly from the river with witchcraft. Why is it so troublesome? You can also use fishnet fish without witchcraft. If you catch fish like this, you can only catch one at a time. Isn't it too troublesome?" Li Zhi just smiled faintly: "Let's have breakfast first."
Lasvia's question was also Lina's question. Seeing that Li Zhi did not answer, their curiosity became heavier. After breakfast, no fish was hooked. This was a river, and the fish were not as easy to catch as a pond. "I haven't caught a fish for so long. Winster, your method is too inefficient." After breakfast, Lina became increasingly dissatisfied with this method.
Before Lina could finish her words, Li Zhi saw the float move. "Here." He looked silent, stopped the two of them, and gently picked up the fishing rod. Lasvia and Lina looked at his movements curiously and stopped talking. Although they didn't know why they were not allowed to speak, they still did.
Holding the fishing rod, Li Zhi did not use his own strength to sense the fish, but made a judgment all by himself. The float moved and then sank a little. Li Zhi was unmoved. Sure enough, the float came up again. As soon as the float came up, it pulled down violently, and the amplitude was huge. Li Zhi was quick in his eyes and hands, and he only pulled the fishing rod upwards. The bait had already entered the fishing belly. When the hook was pulled, he hooked the fish.
However, if you hook it, you can't pull it up in one breath. As soon as Li Zhi touched the rod, he knew that the fish was not small, and the fish had a lot of strength in the water. If it was pulled back with one force, it would only break the fish line. Li Zhi did not pull back with one force, but just pulled it gently, carefully trying to avoid letting the fish escape, slowly tossing the fish and tossing it until it was exhausted.
After struggling this for a while, and gradually feeling weak, Li Zhi began to slowly close the line and pull the fish to the boat. However, you have to be careful at this time. When it is about to be taken away from the water, it will inevitably struggle violently, and it is easy to break the line at that time. "Belier, bring my net bag." When Belier heard this, he handed over Li Zhi's long rod net bag together.
Li Zhi held the fishing rod with one hand and the net bag with the other hand and began to prepare to collect the fish. When the fish was approaching and was pulled out of the water, he leaned down and grabbed it in time. That's it. A big fish was pulled up and caught it. Once he pulled up, the fish left the water and struggled wildly, bounced repeatedly. This was a dying struggle and the strength was very strong. Li Zhi's fishing line was limited. If he didn't catch it directly, the line would definitely break.
"Okay, we'll eat this fish at noon today." Li Zhi freed the fish from the hook and put it in a basin. "Linna, do you want to try it?" Li Zhi asked Linna. "I'd better not try it. Princess Lasvia really wants to try it." Linna refused. Actually, she also wanted to try it, but there are opportunities in the future. Lasvia is a guest, and she is preparing to reach a cooperative relationship again, so she gave it to her.
"Princess, please." Li Zhi handed over the fishing rod to Lasvia, and at the same time began to carefully look at the ship. The weight of the resin was much lower than that of cement, which also made the ship not too heavy. The draft was similar to that of ordinary wooden boats. This resin had another advantage, that is, it was extremely tough. If it was formed at one time, there was no gap at the joint. It was both hard and tough, but in fact the strength was higher than that of cement.
Lasvia learned how to take the fishing rod, put the fishing rod in the water and started to wait. However, this was a rare place in the river, and there was a rare fish biting the hook, but it was not up for a while. Li Zhi said to her and inspected the entire boat. The ship was mainly freight, so the cargo compartment accounted for a large part, and the rest was the crew compartment. Li Zhi just took a rough look, asked some questions from the relevant craftsmen, and then turned around.
"Mr. Winster, are there any earthworms?" Lasvia obviously didn't catch the fish, but was eaten by the fish. Li Zhi's current space is much more plump than before. During this period, he transplanted many trees into it, as well as some small animals, river fish, etc., and even brought a group of chickens from the main world to raise them. A small ecological environment has slowly taken shape, and there are also earthworms in his space.
"I'll do it, why, the earthworms were eaten by the fish but they didn't catch it?" Li Zhi took the hook from Lasvia's hand, took out half of the earthworm from the space and put it on the hook. "Yes, a fish came just after waiting. I pulled the line and I closed the hook, but it didn't catch it. The second time, I wanted to follow my teacher's example and let it bite it before pulling it up. As a result, it ate the earthworms. It's really hateful!" Lasvia ate the earthworms by the fish, and her face felt a little embarrassed.
"I finally know why Mr. I like fishing so much. Mr. fishes not fishing, but enjoying the process." Lasvia continued: "Live high above the river, looking down at the fish, a bait of hope, which leads countless fish to fight to the death and establish rules, and does not let the fish eat the earthworms completely, and allows the fish to continue to create value for the Mr.a. "Lasvia looked at Li Zhi again at this time and figured out Li Zhi's bait of hope, and her eyes were full of admiration.
"Mr.'s vision is not as good as a legendary prophet. I have never imagined that these civilians would have such great power. I can now imagine how great changes this land of hope will take place in the future. It is really a pleasure for Lasvia to be lucky enough to hear Mr.'s teachings today. I finished watching Mr.'s market this morning and went back in the afternoon, hoping to reach cooperation with Mr. as soon as possible."
Lasvia realized that he had figured everything out, and at this moment he was full of confidence. If the land ruled by the kingdom of royal family could be like this, what kind of huge power would be bursting out? There would be more than five million civilians under the rule of the Kingdom of Westerma, and 100,000 people could build a town in a month, and five million people? No matter what other nobles were concerned about, there would be two million people under the royal family. Among these two million people, it would be earth-shaking.
"Leave in the afternoon, don't you stay here for a longer time?" Li Zhi asked Lasvia, is the bait of hope? I can set up the bait of hope here, and you Westma can't play. In fact, what if you can play it? The power of hope will be gathered to him after all. In any case, Li Zhi is sitting in a situation of winning steadily. In Li Zhi's opinion, it is good that Westma can achieve a small part of the results.
