The afternoon sun shines on the hills.
The green and slightly withered pines and cypresses are rippling in the wind.
In the open space, thousands of people knelt on the ground and chanted their faith devoutly.
This kind of scene, even after countless years, will still set off a storm in the hearts of these Huns captives.
All the prisoners stared blankly in the direction where Zhang Qi disappeared.
The scene that just happened was unacceptable for the first time, and then they figured out that no wonder they and others were defeated and captured. It turned out that they were facing the great Son of God. '
At this moment, the prisoners present also bowed their heads piously. They were all prairie people and warriors who fought with swords, bows and guns.
They also hope that one day after they die in battle, they can go to the pasture of the gods.
The sound of prayers rose and fell in the forest.
Ten minutes or so is just the time to recite the prayer compiled by Zhang Qi five times.
Seeing that Zhang Qi did not appear in the open space.
Lu Mu and Hui looked at each other and began to guide.
The herdsmen dispersed, leaving only the men who came to help collect the prisoners.
The prison cages were sent to various military strongholds. After the prayers, Wang Li and others led the soldiers to escort the prisoners there.
Zhang Qi had already given instructions on where to guard them, and they were placed in the military stronghold so that the prisoners could see what kind of military life they lived under the light of the gods.
People are animals who pursue a better life. As long as there is comparison, Zhang Qi believes that these captives will soon be absorbed by him.
Riding and slashing the world.
After entering, Zhang Qi originally planned to go out immediately, but after thinking about it, he chose to stay here for the time being.
After all, these people were indeed warriors who died fighting for him, and there was something wrong with just leaving them on the ground like this.
In the castle hall of Cylonia.
Zhang Qi rang a bell that connected the town outside.
The craftsmen and the wolf cubs have now come to this town. The oldest of the wolf cubs is now fifteen years old, and the youngest group is now over five years old.
To Zhang Qi, three years was just two or three months in the outside world.
After the bell rang, a young girl with a well-proportioned and slightly graceful figure ran in.
"Mr. Wolf, you are back."
Hu Ling looked happy.
Seeing the girl, Zhang Qi also smiled gently. It is no longer the time before. Under the influence of the spirit points, these wolf cubs have completely become Zhang Qi's most loyal supporters. Facing these people, he is naturally extremely Believe.
"Well, the things outside have been settled. If you see those water bags on the ground, take those brats and find them a place to stay in the city. They are all warriors who died fighting for me. We must take them seriously."
Hu Ling looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Qi and saw hundreds of water bags piled densely on the ground.
Listening to Zhang Qi's words and deeds, Hu Ling bowed in that direction solemnly, and then faced Zhang Qi.
"Hu Ling will place the bones of the warriors properly, please rest assured Mr. Lang."
Zhang Qi nodded: "Well, you go ahead and do it. By the way, ask three craftsmen to come over. I have something to do with them."
Hu Ling took the order and turned to leave. She was alone and naturally couldn't carry all the water bags containing the ashes. She had to call someone.
As soon as they came and went, all the water bags in the castle were taken away, and the three craftsmen were standing in front of Zhang Qi, waiting for orders.
In more than three years, these craftsmen have become mature. In this world, they only need to teach the wolf cubs about craftsmanship, and they rarely interfere with other things.
The batch of cubs that were sent before were all brought by the wolf cubs. After being brainwashed every day, they have completely become Zhang Qi's die-hard loyalists. This is why the second batch of cubs brought in by Zhang Qi are all three years old. Reasons that influence children.
"Let's all sit down and talk."
In the dim castle hall, Zhang Qi waved his hand and several people sat down.
"What are the teaching results over the years?"
After sitting down, Zhang Qi asked straight to the point.
He carefully selected these three people from outside craftsmen. Except for the blacksmith, each of them has multiple jobs. They are good at carpentry, stonemasonry, masons, pottery, and shipbuilding.
It can be said that except for the blacksmith, who is a craft that is enough to make a living, the other two are craftsmen who have become all-rounders for the sake of food and clothing.
Hearing Zhang Qi's question, the blacksmith who still had a few shanks among the three people replied: "I have learned all my craftsmanship in the first year. Your Majesty, I dare not hide my secrets.
Nowadays, I can no longer understand the work that those gangsters are doing. Nowadays, they are just thugs. "
Zhang Qi nodded after hearing this. After the wolf cubs have learned the skills of the craftsmen, they will combine it with the knowledge taught by Zhang Qi. The small blast furnace now has something to show for it.
Although there is no coal in this world, there is a precedent for smelting iron ore into molten iron by relying on charcoal, bellows and combustion accelerants.
Although it is still unstable, Zhang Qi believes that as long as they continue to conduct experiments or transport coal from the outside world, the earthen blast furnace can be conquered by them!
Following the blacksmith's report, the other two people also reported their teaching results one after another.
The wolf pups are all different. Some learn crafts very quickly, while others really have no talent.
For example, Hu Er.
Fifteen-year-old Hu Er has now grown to more than 1.7 meters, which is quite tall in this era. In terms of martial arts, Hu Er has won seven real sword competitions in a row and won the championship every time. But in terms of knowledge... ..
Forget it, just ignore him.
Although he was a little stupid, Zhang Qi still felt relieved to have him by his side as a guard.
After chatting with several craftsmen for a while, Zhang Qi figured out which wolf cubs were smarter and then explained what he was going to do next.
"You go find a place. Next, I plan to brew wine. I will hand over the drawings to you later and build the equipment I need as soon as possible."
After all, Zhang Qi would naturally not forget that he wanted to brew wine. He was born in a farmer's family and had been exposed to brewing since he was a child.
Distilling wine is actually not a very troublesome matter. With a little cooperation of two iron pots and a barrel with a mouth in the middle, rice wine can be distilled. Just a few more times can increase the alcohol concentration in the wine to a concentration that can be sterilized.
What? You say mellow? This is not for drinking. Methanol and ethanol are not alcohols that can sterilize. Besides, the fusel alcohols and methanol are both in the first wine and the tail wine. If you really want to drink it, just pinch off the head and remove the tail.
This thing is called Tianguo. When he was a child, almost every household in the village had it. It can make any kind of sweet potato wine, rice wine, and potato wine.
The only difficult thing now is 'jiuqu'. Zhang Qi can make it, but he doesn't have the materials.
Although Polygonum used for making koji can be found everywhere, you can always see some as long as you walk along the valleys and rivers. However, due to the season, he had nowhere to pick it.
Now I can only try making wine with wine.
