Chapter 188： Otto's inspection (2)

In fact, because of his understanding of historical development, Rurik appreciates the "wooden-cut" architecture from the Slavic people. The double-layer wooden wall has an interlayer made of soil and moss. The wooden wall itself has limited ability to keep out the cold, but the fillings in the interlayer, especially the dried moss, are natural insulation materials! Coupled with the traditional fireplace, the "woodcut leng" can keep the interior warm, even if the outdoor is already at a terrifying low temperature of minus 30 degrees!

Only in terms of the ability to keep out the cold, Rurik doesn't think that the longhouse of his tribe is really better than the "woodcut." Especially the home where I was born, it is still the residence of the leader, but it doesn't even have a chimney! Every winter, a brazier is lit at home, and I am not poisoned by carbon monoxide, precisely because even the leader’s home is full of holes!

Rulik felt that to ensure the strength of the tribe, we must first maintain the sustainable growth of the tribe’s population.

The law of population growth is nothing more than three methods.

Live more, die less, and emigrate.

The so-called slaves and servants belong to the category of immigration. As for multiple births, Rurik feels that as long as the ordinary families of the tribes have enough financial resources to support their lives, they will not ruthlessly invest in their sons for limited resources and then maliciously abandon their daughters.

As for fewer dead people. In this era when a small illness can kill people, Rurik believes that as long as the people of the tribe can use soap extensively to clean, regardless of adults and children, the chance of getting sick will be greatly reduced. One of the major causes of illness is poor physical fitness.

If the resident’s home is always filled with terrible cold wind from various gaps, the resident’s body becomes weak, and ordinary viruses can defeat the body’s immune defense.

Of course, if you talk to the people about these diseases, they must not understand it! Maybe this is my biggest sorrow! The so-called truth is here, but they cannot understand it.

Then learn from the Novgorod people and build a warmer and more comfortable new-style longhouse.

Ensure the comfort of the house and the stable supply of food, coupled with the "hygiene innovation" brought about by soap. Rurik understood that once every winter, poor tribes would freeze to death or die of winter diseases. In the new winter, I am afraid the situation will not get worse!

Rulik has already explained his attitude to Lilia, that is, he is trying his best to cheer Kawei and ask the blacksmith of the tribe's most status to lead the other blacksmiths to build a high-quality new wooden house for the house of the head of the Novgorod White Tree Manor.

"Lilia!" Rurik looked at the girl's eyes sincerely: "Just tell your husband, build some houses in your hometown where you remember, and tell him that this is the only way to miss your hometown too much."

Lilia immediately felt that Rurik’s decision was very good. She also felt that she needed a reason to build a new house. Now, Rurik helped herself find the reason.

"Lilia, tonight is your wedding. According to our tradition, you know it." Rurik muttered at last.

"Yes! I know it. I am still a child. After the evening ceremony, I will be a woman tomorrow."

Rurik nodded deeply: "Your husband is a blacksmith I trust. You will definitely live in a new house in Roseburg that resembles your hometown, and you must give Cavidor some sons. Because I need More blacksmiths, just a Kamnier is not enough."

Camnier was forced to say nothing, but now he can't hold it anymore! He asked boldly: "Master, can't I still satisfy you?"

"You?!" Rurik's little hand rested on Kamnier's extremely thin and almost boneless shoulders: "My child, my need for iron is endless. Remember, you were an apprentice under Kravassen. When you grow up, more children around you will follow you to learn how to strike iron. Listen, you must prove that you are useful to me! Otherwise, I will kick your **** with my boots!"

It can be heard Kamnier smiled honestly.

At the same time, looking at the completely suppressed and basically cooled new glass that was still hot, Otto let out a deafening roar, venting his wonder.

Because of Clavasson's actions, he has completely subverted his previous cognition.

It’s better to see it after hearing it. This time Otto understands that the "crystal cup" that the merchants respected as a standard is actually made of the most common sand and stone.

This is a miracle, not a miracle.

Otto's eyes subconsciously glanced at the son who was talking and laughing with the valet, the girl married to the blacksmith, and in the Novgorod language.

"Unexpectedly, you brat, you can chat with everyone you have met? Do you have more novel inventions?"

The surprises and questions in his mind Otto will not mention for the time being.

He knows the meaning of those "crystal cups". What is the difference between the so-called glass cup and crystal cup? Selling to wealthy people can naturally reap a lot of wealth, but that's all.

The vast majority of the poor, they cannot buy such exquisite goods. Even a warrior, they couldn't buy an exquisite sword.

Now, Cravason and his sons are still building steel swords that can cut off ordinary iron swords! The blacksmiths of the tribe at least provided the warriors of the tribe with the possibility of becoming stronger.
