Chapter 312 The Proactive Craftsman
Chapter 312 The Proactive Craftsman
Author Black and White Mouse personally recommends: I hope you enjoy the story of "I Lead the Goblin Culture to Victory".
The house builders walked back and forth, supervising them and shouting occasionally.
"Add some more soil! Then tamp it down!"
The people and slaves rolled up their trousers and stepped into the mud pit, stirring the soil with each step.
Once the soil was mixed sufficiently, they used wooden frames to collect the soil and poured it into the pit where semi-circular logs had been laid.
"Hey! Ha!"
Several slaves pulled on hemp ropes, lifting a heavy log into the air, and then suddenly released it.
Thump! Snap—
The tamping tool slammed heavily onto the soil, producing a dull thud.
Li Mosi stood at the entrance of the chief's cave, watching the rammed earth work proceed in an orderly manner with Haki Saint.
"grown ups."
The groom from Stern town walked over, his face full of curiosity.
"Aren't we doing that area outside tonight?"
"No."
Li Mosi shook her head, her gaze fixed on the house foundations that were being compacted.
"That's the city wall. Let's put the city wall aside for now. Let's gather all our manpower and build these houses first."
Seeing everyone methodically mixing mud and tamping the soil, Li Mosi felt relieved and summoned the [Leshanshui] map.
As he unfolded the map, he focused his attention on the forest surrounding the tribe.
In the original owner's memories, every late autumn, wolves, wild boars, and other such creatures would often come out of the woods.
Everyone needs to be careful.
In order to store up fat for the winter, those wild animals would even follow the scent into the manor.
At this time, the people of the manor would always choose to act collectively to prevent any trouble.
Common sense before time travel also confirms this.
Large predators will inevitably make a final, all-out hunt when food becomes scarce.
This is how famous Japanese celebrities are made.
However, the area around the tribe is quite safe.
There were a few scattered points of light at the foot of the mountain.
Li Mosi zoomed in on the map and found that the dots of light were all hovering at the foot of the mountain, none of them daring to get too close to the tribe.
That's it.
He canceled the pursuit of the beast and shrunk the map again.
I was just casually taking another look when I saw a ball of light composed of several points of light rapidly approaching the village along the mountain road to the west.
After quickly switching between several goals in his mind, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was Zi'an and her disciples who passed on their teachings.
Then there's no problem.
The only problem is the number of light spots.
In addition to the oxcart, cart driver, and coachman she brought, there were several more points of light.
"What are you looking at?"
Hagi Saint's voice came from the side.
Li Mosi was focused on her own work and simply ignored her today.
As a result, she went back to sleep after lunch and slept until she just woke up.
Although her head was still a little dizzy, she just couldn't fall asleep.
She noticed that Li Mosi was looking at a certain spot again and couldn't help but ask her about it out of curiosity.
What kind of power does this craftsman possess?
"Don't say anything, you'll find out soon enough."
Li Mosi was too lazy to pay attention and just gave a perfunctory reply.
"Tsk..."
Hagi Saint clicked his tongue and turned his head away from him.
She turned her gaze to the people working on the gentle slope.
Nearby, several slaves were shouting "Heave-ho!" as they pulled heavy log rammers into the air and then slammed them down, the sound of the soil being compacted filling the air.
Further away, the goblin overseer was holding a torch, while a group of tribesmen and their leaders rolled up their trousers and stomped in the mud, mixing clay and loess.
Further away, by a campfire separate from the construction site, several carpenters and stonemasons were squatting on the ground.
They held wooden rulers they had just made during the day, and used them to trace and carve lines on semi-circular pieces of wood.
Looking at this busy yet harmonious scene, she felt that something was off...
Suddenly, I heard the heavy sound of a wooden wheel crushing the soil.
ga-
"Eek!"
The five wolf cubs, who had been resting at the cave entrance, suddenly stood up, their ears perked up, and all looked down at the path leading down the mountain.
Li Mos started walking down the slope.
The saintess instinctively lifted her leg to follow.
The five wolf cubs wagged their tails and ran off, quickly overtaking Li Mosi.
After walking a short distance, Zi'an's figure appeared from the bottom of the slope.
The five wolf cubs became even faster.
"Eek!" "Eek!" "Eek!" "Eek!" "Eek!"
"My late teacher!"
Zi'an quickened her pace and stepped forward, and the five wolf cubs immediately pounced at her feet.
The people following behind her quickly made way.
Zi'an couldn't even take a step.
After thinking for a moment, she stopped and bent down to pick up all five wolf cubs that were circling around her.
"Eek!"
Li Mosi was about to ask her.
Before she could even ask, several people stepped out from behind Zi'an and walked directly over the oxcart to Li Mosi.
"My late teacher!"
The group awkwardly exchanged greetings, their faces showing a mixture of fatigue and...excitement?
Li Mosi looked at them, then at Zi'an.
"They came of their own accord. Hey! Don't lick my boots! Master, they said they wanted to come and help."
While dodging the wolf cub's licks, Zi'an quickly explained.
The craftsmen nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, we wanted to come here ourselves!"
"I brought all my tools!"
Several people were talking at once, their words all mixed up together.
"stop."
Li Mosi raised her hand.
"Tell us one by one."
The group quieted down, and a burly, somewhat simple-minded man stepped out from the back row.
Li Moss recognized him; he was Farol's son, the blacksmith Hammer of Valos Estate.
"grown ups."
The hammer paused.
"There's not much work to do in the territory right now. I was thinking that if we repair some tools as soon as they break down, we don't need a furnace; we can just bring a hammer. So I brought all the tools I could to help."
After he finished speaking, several men dressed similarly to him as blacksmiths echoed his sentiments.
"Yes, Master, we also want to help."
"There's absolutely nothing to do at the manor right now..."
Li Mosi used the firelight to survey them.
Besides the hammer, there were four familiar faces: the blacksmiths from Tufate Manor and Matica Manor, and their eldest sons.
Li Mosi nodded.
His gaze shifted from the group of blacksmiths, including the man with the hammer, to several unfamiliar young men.
Their clothing and appearance were similar to those of the original body.
These people must be carpenters.
But he knew very well that he had already brought over all the carpenters from Baron Stern's territory and the three manors he had first occupied.
Where did these young, unfamiliar faces come from?
"And you?"
Li Mosi looked at them.
Under his gaze, a short, seemingly young carpenter rubbed his hands together.
He walked forward with a mixture of hesitation and excitement on his face.
"Master, I...I'm from Little Lake Manor, uh, from the Baron Taliss territory."
After he started speaking, his words gradually became more fluent.
"Our manor has all the pillars and other building materials we need for the house. I heard from the chief that he was also building a house here, so I came over right away."
The other carpenters breathed a sigh of relief when he spoke up and chimed in to agree.
"Yes……"
"I came from Xishan Manor..."
"We've come to help the chief build a house..."
such……
Li Mosi nodded slightly.
"How's the construction going on the houses on your estate? Are all the materials ready?"
"Everything's fine now!"
The young carpenter who stepped forward nodded repeatedly, afraid that Li Mosi wouldn't believe him.
"The foundation is laid, and half the wall is built. It will be fully completed tomorrow."
Li Mosi then looked at the other carpenters.
"And you?"
"Ah, us too!"
"The wood is all prepared, and some wooden handles for the blacksmith's repair tools have also been made."
"Upon hearing that I was coming to help the chief, the people in the manor quickly buried all the pillars of the house..."
They chimed in, adding details that hadn't been fully mentioned.
After confirming that all the houses in the manor would be completed by tomorrow and that there were enough materials, Li Mosi nodded.
"Alright, go help."
