The busy farming season is always difficult. After a month passed, after reiming nearly 10,000 mu ofnd, Leonard felt a lot easier.
By this time, the time hase to June, even in Irnd, the weather is a bit unbearable.
Irnd is rainy and humid, and this muggy weather is even more ufortable.
But Leonard didn''t care so much, and together with other immigrants, he started to build his own house.
Thatched cottages have always been the ce where the poor live in China.
If someone has traveled to the UK, they will find that this kind of thatched cottage is exclusive to the rich, and the poor cannot afford it.
The characteristic thatched cottages of ancient Ennd, in modern times, not only the maintenance cost is high, but also the British government has listed this kind of houses as cultural heritage and issuedws to protect them.
At present, this kind of thatched cottage is still exclusive to the poor.
Of course, all the people who came to Irnd were Englishmen, and the houses they built were naturally English-style.
First, Leonard selected the longer ones from the harvested rye and wheat stalks, and took them home.
As for the straw, Sir John asked people to pile it into a haystack, and let the group of immigrants sift through it.
When Leonard came, the whole drying yard, the new immigrants who came with him, and the new immigrants who camest month, all came here to be screened.
Fortunately, there are a lot of wheat fields harvested this time, and Leonard has enough stalks for screening.
The screening criteria are rtively long and moderately thick, and those that are too thick or too long will not work.
After hugging him several times, Leonard returned home and weaved with his wife.
His daughter and son also watched with interest, curiously watching the uninterrupted activity of their parents'' hands.
Leonard was originally from a civilian background, and he is quite skilled in this kind of work.
first.
It is necessary to match these straws of simr length together, weave them, and weave straw mats one by one.
Then hang ityer byyer on the girder of the house that has already been built,yer byyer, and thenpact it.
Instead of our kind of piles piled together.
how to say? This kind of thatched house in Ennd requires a weaving skill, and then puts a hat on the house.
If you look at it, it looks like a child wearing a warm hat in winter, round.
For example, on the window, the thatch will be a kind of semicircle, acting as a kind of shelter in front of the window.
The walls are white and with a chimney, it looks very cute.
This kind of thatched house, because the thatch on the roof is rtively light, but also has better airtightness, and the structure is very strong, so it is loved by the bottom farmers.
Basically, this kind of thatched house will not have problems for decades, and only needs to dry the thatch on the roof for a few years.
In this way, within half a month, on the allocated foundation, a thatched house belonging to Leonard''s family took shape.
As for the disadvantage, it is easy to catch fire.
But in a ce like Irnd with rainy and humid weather, this kind of thatched house is most suitable.
When his house was built, other immigrants also built their own houses one after another, and the whole Wenger Town looked more lively.
During the harvest and happy moment, besides grazing, the immigrants in Wenger Town rxed a lot. At this moment, a piece of good news came: a theater troupe from London wille here to perform.
Hearing this news, the entire Wenger Town became noisy. In this era ofck of entertainment, enjoying drama is a favorite activity of the low-level civilians.
It is said that Sir John, who has always been cold-faced, heard the news, so he didn''t even ride a horse, and hurried back to enjoy this rare entertainment.
The Leonard family is very happy.
After going through ups and downs, even the Catholic faith cannot be blessed and worshiped daily, which makes their family extremely ufortable.
Finally settled down in this ce in Irnd, and my busy life came to an abrupt halt. At this moment, my heart was empty and I urgently needed to be released.
The arrival of the theater troupe cheered them up, and they eagerly wanted to see a theater performance from London.
In the entire British-upied area, that is, the colonial point, Dublin stiptes that no Catholic church shall be built, and no Catholic priests shall be allowed to preach.
In this regard, most of the immigrants who have experienced such a turbulent life will turn to Anglicanism and be Protestants after their souls cannot beforted by the pastor.
The Leonard family is different. Their beliefs are much stronger than ordinary people. They still believe in Catholicism and reject Protestantism.
In this regard, the major colonial strongholds will not persecute, and will take various measures to subtly influence.
For example, only immigrants who believe in Anglican can have the opportunity to enter the colonial upper ss and be a master.
For another example, the daily rations distributed, those who believe in Anglicanism will be two levels higher than those of Catholics.
With such various methods, coupled with the brainwashing activities carried out in various colonial strongholds, most Catholics will believe in Anglicanism within a few months.
As for those tribes that are pro-British, Dublin requires that they should not impose mandatory requirements, but exert a subtle influence to make these Irish tribes be real Englishmen.
As for those ordinary and hostile tribes, the major colonial strongholds were captured, then reduced to ves, and even sold.
The reason why there are no Irish ves in Wenger Town is because it is at the southernmost tip of Ulster Province, which is much more dangerous than other strongholds.
So, at present, Sir John has notunched an active attack. Compared with the nearby tribes, the strength of Wenger Town is still too weak, so it can only be defensive, guarding this developednd.
June 3rd, at about three o''clock in the afternoon, the sky cleared up, the wet weeds were happily eaten by cattle and sheep, and there was a cheerful atmosphere on the earth.
The same goes for Wenger Town.
In the square in front of the church, the immigrants sat on the high tform withrge tables and small benches. Looking from the top down, there were densely packed heads, big and small, which made people nervous.
The actors who had already put on costumes were performing seriously on the high stage, without a trace of nervousness.
At this time, the famous y "Henry VII" is being performed on the high tform.
The young man dressed as Henry VII, with a calm expression on his face, had a series of battles of wits with the French king at that time. Only then did he lead the French mercenaries with 2,000 trophies, thus opening the road to the crown.
The actor ying Charles VIII is an old man who looks confused and cunning, making the audience angry andughing, and the air is full of happy factors.
While Wenger stayed behind, Sir John was also in high spirits, looking up, without blinking his eyes very much, and seemed fascinated.
