The materials needed to build the house, such as cement, bamboo pieces, beams, columns, etc., are all ready.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Dongfeng is Mufeng's method, and he has to do everything himself.

Originally, Mu Feng planned to build a large tulou directly, but considering the area and difficulty of construction, he had to change one to four.

And make a small one first, if there is any error in the middle, it can also prevent the waste of materials.

The construction of tulou pays attention to a "sturdiness". In addition to the particularly tight foundation, the wall foundation must be strong enough and thick enough.

To achieve this effect, Mufeng changed the conventional adobe wall from 60cm to 80cm.

As a result, the difficulty of rammed earth to form a wall is also increased.

Fortunately, he did not simply borrow the rammed earth method of the previous life, but made an empty mold with bamboo pieces, and placed a mixture of hay, clay, and sand in the middle for ramming.

After the earth wall was formed and the bamboo pieces were removed, he asked the tribe to find stones, and then placed a circle of stones against the earth wall, and glued them together with grass and mud.

All this is simple to say, but it took the entire Jiang Clan's youth for two days!

However, these are relatively simple compared to the inner layer.

Because the inner layer needs to use pure stone and cement bonding.

This requires that the difference in the size of the stones to be found should not be too large, and the demand for cement is also large.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of other things in the tribe, but there is no shortage of stones and plant ashes.

No matter how many stones are in demand, there will be no more stones surrounded by mountains on three sides.

As for plant ash, even if the tribe's stockpile is not enough, they can still source materials on the spot by cutting down some dry trees and hay.

Stones and grass ash are the least scarce things in primitive society.

As the two outer walls have been formed, the construction workers in the tribe have roughly seen what Mu Feng is going to do.

What they couldn't understand was what Mu Feng could do by building such a "house" that was not much different from a cave.

Lihu and Mingguang have the heart to ask Mu Feng, but they are worried that Mu Feng said that the two do not understand, so they have to give up.

The "Jiang's Three-Story Wall", which combines the characteristics of the three exterior walls of the Hakka tulou, the rural old adobe house and the southern Yunnan stone attic that Mufeng has seen in his previous life, was finally completed after five days.

The "Mu's Tulou" that Mu Feng wants to make has already begun to take shape.

Next is the top.

Considering the actual situation, Mu Feng planned that the second floor would not be occupied by people, but was only used to store some important supplies and defend against foreign enemies.

This saves engineering effort.

The tulou covers an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters and is roughly circular.

To do the roof, you need to build the houses one by one on the inner layer, and then cover the whole wall of the house directly surrounding the circle with black bamboo.

In order to reflect the windproof, waterproof and fireproof properties of the tulou as much as possible, he did not hesitate to let his tribesmen work overtime to burn cement, and use a stone wall to separate it from the house.

The earth building has three floors and has the characteristics of fireproof and waterproof.

But Mufeng wanted the inner layer to have this function as well.

Building walls with cement mixed with stones, even if there is a problem with one or two of the houses, if there is a fire, it will not affect other rooms, and it will be easy to repair in the later stage.

easy.

The Jiang clan members were still unfamiliar when building the outer wall, but when they were pasting the wall to build the inner wall, the speed became faster.

This time, in less than two days, the prototype of the house, which is more than three meters high and almost the same as the height of the outer wall, has been built.

Now, as long as the roof is capped, people can live inside.

However, what Mufeng wants to do is not to cap the roof, but to ask the clansmen to surround the house wall with black bamboo as a roof. The bamboo is covered with hay, and then a layer of grass is put on it, and then a layer of paste is put on it. Grass mud, compact and smooth.

Immediately afterwards, he asked the tribe to build a wall up from the outer wall of the first floor, building a wall about two meters high, and on the top of the bamboo, a circle of pillars were supported by black bamboo.

The bamboo wall columns are connected with the outer wall skin and finally capped.

The roof is naturally inclined from the inside to the outside along a certain slope, and extends more than one meter outside. They are all paved with bamboo branches, still covered with hay and grass mud, and the outermost layer is dense and large. The leaves are thatched.

Finally, the construction of the "Mu's Tulou", which took about ten days, was finally completed.

From the outside, the entire tulou looks like a stone bunker with small windows on the upper and lower floors.

If you look from the sky, the ground looks like a ring-like rock mound, and there are vague square blocks in the rock mound, and there are even people entering and exiting from the middle.

After being in it, you will find that it is very open and bright, especially the roof that gradually closes up from the bottom to the top in the shape of a spire, giving a solid and warm feeling.

The ground is a cement floor paved with stones mixed with cement, which has been smoothed with square wooden boards, which is firm and comfortable.

Except for Mu Feng, all the clansmen were so excited that they were speechless.

Even if they never saw the house again, they now know what the earth building is used for.

Lihu even said excitedly, "Head Chief, is this the house you were talking about? With such a house, no matter how long the rainy weather lasts, we don't have to worry anymore!"

Mu Feng smiled and nodded, but there was some regret in his heart, not because of the defects of the tulou, but because of Lihu's ignorance.

"Rain protection counts

what! "Mu Feng said with a smile, "As long as all of us live in the tulou, and the people from the Manglong Division come again, there is nothing they can do to us!"

Not only that, with this tulou, we can make them retreat in spite of difficulties! "

"Really?" Li Hu said excitedly.

Although he wouldn't doubt Mu Feng's words, he didn't know that this was just a house for living, how could he still defeat the enemy?

Seeing Lihu's doubts, Mu Feng also wanted to take this opportunity to teach his tribe how to use the earth building in the future. He turned his face and said, "Hanshu, bring a few people and go up the earth building, so that you can see the benefits of the earth building!"

"Yes!" Han Shu then took a few people to climb up the stairs from the simple stairs that had been built in the building.

Mu Feng led Li Hu and the others to the outside of the building, and he shouted inside: "Hanshu, do you see this tree beside me? Shoot it with an arrow!"

"Chief!" Lihu wondered, "They're in the house, what's up with the arrows..."

Before he finished speaking, with a "whoosh" sound, a bamboo arrow swept straight towards the tree trunk from the direction of the window!

"This……"

Li Hu was excited, and he also understood what Mu Feng said.

"Such a house!" Li Hu was so excited that his face flushed, "If we Jiang clan live in, what should we worry about!"

The other clansmen also understood, and looked at Mu Feng with frenzied eyes, kneeling on one knee and saluting with one hand.

"Great Chief!"

"Great Chief Sage!"

"God bless the ginger!"
