The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 The next morning it rained lightly, and people in Iceland continued to build houses and repair fences in sheepskin coats, while Hadar and seven or eight men continued to explore the surrounding terrain.

　　 brought back several hundred pounds of grapes that night, some of which were red, purple, and some green.

　　 The dozens of households in the camp can earn two or three pounds even if they are divided into one family. This makes the villagers who have just arrived in Wenlan and are still full of hopes are very happy, and praised Hadar for his generosity.

Day by day, the wooden houses were built one after another. It was not until ten days later that there were thirty-eight wooden houses in the camp. The construction of houses stopped, and then the villagers under the leadership of Yotte and others. Started fishing, hunting, picking wild vegetables and berries, and at the same time reclaiming the land to grow radishes and oats.

Hadar is very happy when he looks at the hot scene inside and outside the camp every day. Wenlan's land is fertile and vast. The wasteland near the camp is good arable land as long as it is cleaned up. He estimates that before the weather turns cold, everyone should be able to cultivate 5 Wilgt has land, and we can continue to open up wasteland until next spring. The arable land I promised to them may not be settled in two years.

These days, Hadar has explored the 20,000 steps around the camp, and found several primitive camps that have been abandoned for a long time. They all guessed that it was a Sklarin (Icelanders call an Indian as Sklarin), or The living camp of the Unipad ape-man may have been moved away because of war or disease, leaving behind so much fertile land without an owner.

　　 In fact, Hadar did not know that there were 1.5 to 2 million Indians living in the land of later Canada and the United States at this time, and they were divided into dozens or hundreds of races, maintaining a balanced relationship between fighting and fighting.

　　 In addition to Mexico, Central America and South America to the south, civilizations such as Aztec, Inca, and Maya were born in the Americas. North America, which has the most extensive land and face, did not have a country, let alone a splendid civilization.

Later scholars once had a view that it was because the Native Americans migrated from Asia across the Bering Strait, but the migration process could not be completed in a short time. Therefore, those who migrated first were robbed of living space by latecomers gradually south. After moving and living together, the first two groups of Indians gave birth to civilization, and later Indians maintained their primitive life style.

　　 If there were no white people, the Americas may have to wait thousands of years before the civilization comparable to the Spring and Autumn Period of East Asia or the European Medieval period was born.

Vinland is the later island of Newfoundland. This is the largest island in eastern North America. There are not many Indians living there. At the same time, there are many Inuit people. National vendettas and tribal struggles have continued for hundreds of years. The camp that Hadar and the others were in was an Indian tribe decades ago, but it was abandoned for various reasons.

　　 In the past few days, Olaf was walking around the camp with Heine, Carlhu, Thom and others every day. Pikku had recovered from his arrow injury and followed Olaf for the past two days.

Heine’s hard work was not in vain. He learned a lot of Inuit languages, and at the same time taught Pikku some simple Icelandic languages. More importantly, he was able to listen to Olaf’s words and understand his identity. .

　　 Although Pikku is Olaf's servant, Olaf respects him very much, and he can eat grilled delicacies every day, he also accepts the display.

Olaf didn’t turn around, he really observed Wenlan’s climate and environment, and finally came to the conclusion that Wenlan’s climate should be similar to that of Beijing or even the northeast of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, it was much colder than the early winter of Olaf’s hometown, Qingdao. Up.

　　Of course, Olaf also thought that it is November 1627 in the Julian calendar. The Little Ice Age has come. Perhaps it was the climate that made Wenlan colder than ever.

　　 Olaf is neither a scientist nor an agricultural expert. He just wants to use the knowledge and forward-looking vision in his mind to help his father Hadar establish a stable home as soon as possible, and at the same time consolidate his father and his family's position in ruling this home.

Olaf has discovered in the past few days that almost all Icelandic families have a paranoid love for grapes or sugary fruits and even honey. This is far more than meat. It seems that eating grapes and wild fruits can make them grow. Feel happiness from the bottom of your heart.

Olaf knows that desserts can give people a sense of happiness. He also knows that the directly famous desserts and pastries such as macarons and tiramisu are all European foods. This is because sugar is a luxury in Europe. Icelanders are compared to the oppa on the other side. People from all over the country still have nothing to do with sugar and honey, so it is more difficult to resist the charm of sugar or sugary foods.

Olaf felt that if his family could cultivate and cultivate Vinland's wild grapes or semi-wild grapes and then master the techniques here, it would be tantamount to holding the lifeblood of everyone on Vinland Island. They would be more obedient if they wanted to eat sugar. .

Olaf lived in his grandmother’s house in his previous life. He planted grapes and knew that this kind of food would be able to live. So he told his father that he went down to the Grape Valley under the leadership of Uncle Kedir and picked a few knots there. The vines that produce the sweetest grapes will be marked, and they will be pruned and planted next spring, cultivate a batch of fine varieties of vines, and put the artificial planting of grapes on the agenda, so that their family can master wine and fresh grapes. The two major cane sugar substitute products can be used either for their own use or for dumping grape juice in the Nordic countries in the future.

Olaf’s idea made Hadar very happy. He said to everyone that he said that the Gerud family will be able to surpass their ancestors after they have Olaf~www.wuxiahere.com~ In addition to paying attention to the development of the breeding industry, Olaf and Hadar also Focused on finding Hagrid Camp.

Hadar had asked Hudick to take Hilter and a few people in the village to leave by boat the day before yesterday, preparing to let the Thor's Hammer circle the coastline of Vinland to find the whereabouts of Hagrid Camp, and try to find Hagrid earlier, and then The brothers worked together to create a homeland on the arduous and primitive Vinland Island.

The area of ​​Wenlan is half the size of Iceland. If it is replaced by Daming, it is more than half the size of Henan, Shandong and other provinces. Such an area is in an undeveloped primitive style. If you want to find a settlement with only a few hundred people Said it was a needle in a haystack.

　　 But Hadar knew that Hagrid’s camp was set up by the sea. If he sailed along the coast to look for it, Hagrid would recognize it when he saw Thor's Hammer.

After another seven or eight days, Hadar took seven or eight men carrying weapons to explore the southern hinterland in the morning. After a while, Olaf heard four or five gunshots from the southern mountains outside the camp. He frowned, knowing that his father and their matchlock had fired.

Reminiscent of the lives of Indians and Inuit on Vinland Island, Olaf worried that his father and the others were besieged by primitives. If they are not handled well, they will probably die in primitive hands. After all, these primitives have strong temperament and good at. fight.

　　 Olaf walked back to the camp quickly and saw that Yotte was shearing a sheep, and he went forward and whispered: "I heard the gunshot just now! Uncle Yotte! My father and the others must be in trouble!"

　　 "Let’s go and support!"

　　Yote dropped the shearing knife in his hand, shouted and called Kadir and Hoskurd and other seven or eight people, everyone left two men to guard the camp, and the other six took up their weapons and hurried toward the south.
