Chapter 145 Porcupine and Delicious Sandworms

In Pig Tail Bay, half of the face was lowered to the sun, which burned the clouds red with its peripheral light.

The ship with the Jolly Roger lowered was floating slightly with the waves in the distance. A group of teenagers were carrying small buckets and picking up shells and washed up fish and shrimp on the rocks at the seaside.

Fresh oysters will be sent to the castle, some will be sent to the lord's table, and the other part will be sent to the soldiers' rice bowls.

Pirie, the old captain from Longship Castle, is training.

"Sir!" Pili ran over after seeing Li Qi. Judging from his red nose and cheeks, he must be a loyal customer of sour apple beer.

When he came running, he had a strong smell of alcohol.

"How's your sailor training going?"

"It will take at least another year." Pili knew that the lords and nobles generally had no idea about the training of their subordinates. They were always eager to give orders now and then do everything well the next moment. As an old captain, Pili knew that he must first

The explanation was clear: "This is the fastest time. Some of them are fishermen from the water stream. They are born to make a living on the water. Otherwise, it will be slower."

"You can build a port during this time," Piri said quickly: "The water level in Porcupine Territory is very deep, which is very suitable for berthing ships, just like the Levin."

"Levin?" Li Qi was confused.

"That's the ship." Piri turned his head and pointed at the pirate ship on the sea: "Although its appearance has changed a bit and has been repaired, I still remember that I saw that merchant ship when I was a young man.

, it is the ship of the merchant Levin, who is engaged in transporting slaves, and sometimes also transports a small amount of wine."

Li Qi did not ask about the situation of businessman Levin. Since his ships had become pirate ships, people must have died under the swords of pirates.

"Porcupine," said Li Qi.

Pili was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, sir, the Porcupine!"

He gestured and said: "Over there, the location near the headland is very suitable for building a port. The terrain is relatively flat, and a watchtower can be built on the headland."

The location indicated by Piri is probably a long way from the headland crypt, and the port is close to the crypt, making it easier to move in case of emergencies.

He is not worried about the exposure of the crypt at the headland. Whether the crypt is opened or not is completely under his control.

As for the big natural hole, they can just fill it up with stones and build a watchtower above it, which will serve multiple purposes.

But the construction of the port may not be that simple. Li Qi will give priority to the development of agriculture and feed more than 2,000 people first.

"Have you been to many places?"

Although Li Qi does not have a phobia of the sea, he certainly does not like the sea very much. Being grounded will make him feel stable, and looking at the sea will relax his mind, but he will be a little unbearable when rocking on a boat.

"Yes, sir!" Pili raised his chin, like a radish in the ground, and stubbornly pulled out half of his head.

"I used to be the captain of the Black Horse, which was a two-masted sailing ship that could carry 100 people. I was responsible for transporting wine, cotton, and leather for merchants, starting from the East Gorge and sailing along the coast to the Northland and the spirits of the Northland.

It dazzles me, the women there are so open-minded, they will take it off with just a few words... Uh." Pili looked at the lord who was staring at him expressionlessly, and suddenly

Reacting, now is not the time to speak obscenely in front of a noble, that would be very offensive: "You must have never seen flying fish leaping out of the water. They have wings and will fly up to the deck. They come back late at night."

You will hear the sirens singing. They have a charming appearance, but only the upper body. They sing soul-stirring songs to lure sailors and wait for opportunities to hunt."

Similar to the Porcupine.

"So, you saw it with your own eyes?"

"No" Pili shook his head vigorously: "I have little courage, which is why I can survive on the vast sea. I am the chef on the sea. He was taken away by the sea monster. Since then, we have not eaten for a month.

After loading up the goods, we can only temporarily find a port to dock, hire a chef again, and then set sail again.”

Sirens, mermaids, mermaids, there are many stories about these sea creatures on earth.

When the mermaid was not yet black, Li Qi quite liked that fairy tale.

"Sir, do you want to come and see the Porcupine?"

"certainly"

Li Qi once boarded that ship and committed murder.

The sailors pushed the boat into the sea. After Li Qi and Pili got on the boat, they pushed it hard. Then two sailors jumped on the boat and slid the oars.

Climbing onto the ship via the ladder, Pirie excitedly introduced the details of the Porcupine to Li Qi.

Because this ship was mainly used to carry slaves, the space at the bottom of the cabin was very large, making it suitable for conversion into a merchant ship for trade.

Without artillery, the pirates' method of looting was nothing more than boarding battles, so the risks of sea navigation came more from the ruthless sea and weather than from the pirates.

On the beach, several sailors have finished their training.

Li Qi, who came ashore, noticed that they were grabbing something. They dug their fingers on the beach and easily pulled out long earthworm-like strips.

"Sandworm?"

Li Qi still remembers sandworms, which are called "natural MSG" and look like earthworms in one long strip. But whether you can taste this delicious food depends on whether you have the courage.

Of course the sailors were not willing to let go of such delicious food.

"You can let people catch some of them and grind them into sandworm powder to use as MSG."

It can be eaten, but only if the shape is invisible.

Pili didn't know what the lord was thinking, so he stood aside obediently. As a sailor who had been sailing on the sea for most of his life, after leaving Donggang City, his life seemed to have lost its meaning. He stayed in the water stream and drank every day.

There are also some small businessmen who hope that he can help manage the ferry, but are ferries and ships the same thing? Those stupid businessmen.

Now that he could return to the seaside and even ride in the sea with the Porcupine, he felt that his body had regained its youth.

Li Qi said: "Work hard to train sailors. I hope to be able to sail far away in one year."

Land transportation is too slow, and there are many changes on the road, but sea transportation does not have these problems. Just like starting from the Porcupine Territory, it takes more than twenty days to take a carriage to the Donggang City of the Golden Thorn Sword family in the East Gorge, which includes climbing over mountains and mountains.

Ridges, detours, etc., but if you take a boat, it only takes a few days with a favorable wind. If you encounter a headwind, the speed may be slower, but it is similar to riding a horse. The most important thing is that the boat does not need to cross mountains and ridges.

When the sky darkened completely, Li Qi returned to Porcupine Castle.

He has local vision, and the night does not have much impact on him. Most people still choose to sleep after dark, and hear dogs barking from time to time.

Summer cicadas are cicadas non-stop, and they should become quiet once autumn is over.

After dinner, Li Qi returned to the study.

Grant came to report on the work. He had completed the trivial work to a great extent, but it still took a lot of time to report to Li Qi.

With more than two thousand people fully mobilized, countless things will happen every day, including accidents and non-accidents.

The good news is that someone is pregnant again.

"Let the pharmacist pay more attention and conduct regular physical examinations on pregnant women," Li Qi said: "The porcupine collar needs an injection of fresh blood."

"Yes, sir!" Grant replied immediately.

The first batch of purchased slaves may feel a sense of belonging to the Porcupine Leader, but they are still foreigners after all.

But their children born here are the native porcupine leaders.

After Grant left, Li Qi fell into a brief confusion.

In recent times, the letters from Greenwood Castle have decreased significantly, but what really made him confused and thinking was another thing, about Mrs. Jie Lin from Longship Castle.

He picked up the pen, wrote a letter, and gave it to the manservant to fly with a raven.

"Be a person with less vulgar taste," Li Qi thought to himself, "At least I can't be a person who puts up his pants and refuses to admit his fault."

After finishing all this, Li Qi grabbed the energy storage cane and left the study, heading to the garden.

A hole opened in front of the unnamed tombstone, and he walked in.

There are still important things to do tonight.
