Chapter 104 Making Scissors
Just as dawn the next day, Chen Dong and the big dolphin returned to the iron smelting field on a raft.
This is the top priority of Chen State. Sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood.
Going down the river, Mu hurriedly came up after he returned, holding something in his hand. After seeing Chen Dong, he happily handed it over, "King Ping, his subordinates and a few people worked overnight to make a sword for King Ping, please check it."
After hearing what Mu said, Chen Dong was a little stunned and didn't react for a long time. After urging by Big Dun and Mu, Chen Dong took it over. The sword also made a scabbard. Both the scabbard and the body of the sword were still a little hot. It was obvious that it had just been made.
At this moment, Chen Dong had a different idea and could basically understand it. Big Dun said that he would accompany Chen Dong back to Chen State to take a look, but in fact he had already discussed with Mu that he would make a sword for him.
Chen Dong was able to get big pig and wood for his consideration, and a warm current surged in his heart in an instant. Chen Dong patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, thank you."
Chen Dong dared not say that this sword was a whisper, but both the purity and the sharpness were as strong as he made himself. However, even if it was not as good as that one, Chen Dong was very happy.
Chen Dong also knew that the reason why the two of them secretly discussed this matter was because his emotions in recent days had affected them.
Chen Dong put the sword back into the sheath and said, "We have some things to do next. Now the woodworking tools are almost done, and the shipbuilding work can also begin. This tool can come to an end first. Make some tools that cannot be cut. Liang then has already textile the finished fabric. After making this scissor, he will make one for each of the children in the tribe."
Chen Dong talked about his general plan, and then quickly said: "If you do your carpentry work, you will help you build a ship for the five of you. Mu will continue to lead people to build tools."
Chen Dongfang saw that there was still a large area of idleness, while the Chen family army was busy day and night. A few people who worked at night were asleep, and they were tired at first glance. With such a loud noise, the few people turned a deaf ear.
"Big Dolphin, you probably have to go back and draw a hundred people to help you make ironwork together. Many of the tools we use in the future will have to go out from here. It is really hard to turn around with the Chen family army alone. The men in the tribe have only hunted in the forest these days? I see that all the preys are captured. I guess those who can be artificially raised in the forest have been caught, and the rest can only rely on stones."
If a hundred people are transferred here, there are really few men in the tribe. Although the population of the entire Chen State has reached as many as 2,000, most of them are children. In the past, the loss rate of men was very high, after all, the work they did was the most dangerous.
"Yes, King Ping, what the men in Chen State need to do is to plant grains. Now that we have such iron tools, and it is not the busiest time, it is okay to transfer more than a hundred men. The subordinates will adjust it immediately, but we have very few rafts in our hands now. If we want to come along the water road, we have to cut down some trees, which will take some time." Big Dust and Chen Dong analyzed.
Chen Dong naturally understood what Big Dust said, and said with a smile: "Well, just use water. If you count the time you cut down trees, you should be able to arrive at this day in the future, right?"
"Enough." Big Duo clasped his fists at Chen Dong and left in a hurry.
After the big dolphin left, Chen Dong said to Mu again: "You must be clear about that kind of stone cutter. Just make some in that style. This cutter is not too hard, nor does it require pure iron. It should save a lot of trouble. Make more than a dozen handfuls first, and everyone's hair and beards have grown, so they should cut it."
In the past, they cut their hair by stone cutting, saying that they were actually pulling, which was very painful, and many of them were torn off. Now they have finally invented iron tools, so they should make scissors first.
"This is not difficult, I will take my brothers to do it right away."
Mu is not a stupid person, so he can feel at ease to leave these things to him.
As early as after the woodworking tools were made, the five shipbuilders began to study shipbuilding by themselves. They had gained a lot after so long alone researching them. Later, after Chen Dong's careful guidance, they gained a lot even more.
When Chen Dong found them, they had already cut the trees neatly into wooden boards, assembled them into a small boat, and fixed the oars on them with ropes.
In fact, Chen Dong gave them great discounts for their shipbuilding, and the hemp produced by Chen Guo was first used for them.
"Why, I won't inform me if I made the boat?" Chen Dong said with a smile, and there was no element of criticizing them in his words.
One of them quickly explained: "King Ping, this is the first time we have built this ship. As for whether we can navigate in the water, we have not tried it. My subordinates thought it would be too late to report to King Ping after the trial was successful. If the trial was successful, wouldn't it be fine. If it failed, wouldn't it make King Ping happy in vain?"
Chen Dong didn't say much to the person seriously, "Okay, okay, how do you plan to try it?"
"From here to return to the former site of Chen State, if there is no problem after returning, then come back directly. If there is a problem, solve the problem directly there."
"Okay, great, then I will be the first person in your ship with you!" Chen Dong was about to get on the ship but was stopped by one of them. The man said seriously: "King Ping, this move is probably inappropriate. The ship has not sailed yet, and the safety cannot be guaranteed. After returning to the ship, it is confirmed that there is no danger. It is not too late for King Ping to take another ride!"
"It's okay." Chen Dong wanted to persist, but finally thought about it and let it go. His hand was already injured. If something happened again, it would be too unworthy to take care of his life. Even if he couldn't take care of his life, it would be even worse if the wound that had already begun to heal recurred.
"Okay, you guys are careful all the way here." Chen Dong could only comfort him like this when he was leaving.
After watching the five people leave in a boat, Chen Dong returned to the ironworks. After returning, everyone had their own work and everyone was busy, but Chen Dong didn't know what to do.
This time, I did nothing but made my heart feel empty. After all, no matter from any aspect, everyone is busy doing useful work. Whether it is farm tools or woodworking tools, they are of good quality. Of course, if compared with steel, it would be a bit worse.
However, even now, Chen's technology is not scruples. As for future development, it will be left to future generations. It would be great that Chen Dong can advance the established history by thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
The Red Rabbit Horse went to find grass to eat by herself, while Xiao Hui was with Chen Dong. Although she didn't say a word, it also made Chen Dong feel very secure in her heart.
Xiao Hui can now meet what Chen Dong expected, loyal and brave.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Dong's red rabbit horse could actually go to the forest to find food by himself. Before the night was too late, he could still recognize the way home. People say that the old horse knew the way, and the red rabbit horse looked very young and could already recognize the way home.
Since the Red Rabbit Horse is so worry-free, Chen Dong will naturally not be stingy with it looking for food by itself. If he can find food by himself, then Chen Dong will save him from feeding it.
