Chapter 592 The Cities of Dajiang Have Names
After King Dai Li and Bai Yue tried iron weapons, Mu Feng also confirmed that iron ore could be successfully smelted in the tribe.
With the successful smelting of iron, one thing in his heart finally fell to the ground.
With iron, the Horde's dependence on copper is so great - especially copper itself is not very much.
Iron utensils are much more powerful than copper utensils.
With iron, he can cast a totem pole out of copper, bringing Da Jiang into the metal age.
He has already drawn the appearance of the totem pole with paper, and modified it several times during the period, and finally determined it to be a cloud-riding auspicious dragon: the giant dragon steps on the auspicious clouds, the sun and the moon shine behind it, the sea of clouds billows under it, the dragon's eyes open angrily, and the dragon's beard Wisps of dragon teeth...
Building this thing is time-consuming and consumable.
He intends to make a totem pole four or five meters high and one or two meters thick.
But in this way, the consumption of copper will become unbearable at once.
After thinking about it, he used copper-clad stone to make totem poles.
First, a huge stone was taken, and it took a day to get it from the Nanshan Mountain of the tribe to the square in front of the Moon Tower, where the place is large enough to accommodate thousands of people.
Stones are carved into pillars and buried in the ground, and then the size is measured, and the thickness of the stone is divided into pieces and sections to make splicing molds for totem poles.
These molds were designed with splicing interfaces during production to ensure that the totem poles are not easy to be disassembled and moved after completion.
As for the gap in the middle, grinding, filling, and grinding will also be used to make the totem pole appear as a whole.
Making totem poles has no practical effect, not to mention consumables, and it is extremely labor-intensive.
But with the big ginger after the totem pole, the mental outlook of the tribe will be different.
Its existence is to carry the spiritual beliefs of the tribe, to obtain the psychological identity of the tribe, so as to identify with Jiang, and to enhance the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the tribe.
The totem pole seems useless, but there is nothing that can replace the subtle influence.
In the future, the Dajiang Headquarters with totem poles will be a sacred place that the Dajiang people will remember and miss no matter where they go!
Just like Jerusalem in the previous life, a small place has become a holy place for the three religions of Christ, Judaism and Islam.
As for Mu Feng, he stayed in the moon tower when the tribe was busy with the totem pole.
But he is not idle, he is busy with other things - hiding in the room to write and draw.
He wants to make changes to several cities of Da Jiang, and he is preparing in advance here.
In order to further strengthen the tribe's sense of identification with Jiang, Mu Feng simply brought Li Hu, Ming Guang, and Bai Yue together to discuss with them the adjustments related to the totem.
The three of them are no strangers to Mu Feng's "unconstrained style" thinking and practice.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand what the great chief wants to do, as long as you honestly follow the request of the great chief.
Mu Feng said: "You all know about the totem pole, Qige and the others are also working on it. Next, I plan to make some changes in Dajiang.
In addition to totem poles, I will have people spin thread to make flags that can be hung. It is divided into totem flag and military flag. On the totem flag, there will be the totem dragon of our Dajiang tribe, and on the military flag, there will be patterns of various dragons on the basis of dragons. Each team will get their own flag! "
The three of them were puzzled after hearing Mu Feng's description.
Mu Feng didn't intend for them to understand immediately, he just said: "This requires weaving people to weave special cloth and threads of various colors. Don't worry about the cloth. As for the thread, I will take care of it. Tiger chooses a few more dexterous ones, and I teach them how to embroider."
"Embroidery?" Several people were confused again.
Mu Feng still waved his hands: "In addition to making flags, the totem poles will be engraved with the words 'Yanhuang Dajiang-Dragon'."
Several people understood this, and nodded their heads in agreement.
Mu Feng thought for a while and then said: "Now Da Jiang's headquarters is building a city wall, and in the future the headquarters will no longer be a place where only clansmen live, and Da Jiang now has a place to live outside.
In the future, not only the headquarters will have city walls, but Mirror City and Yanshi will have city walls and become cities. And the city has the name of the city! "
"City!" Several people shook.
Only then did they know that a place with a city wall is called a city, and not only the headquarters of Dajiang is called a city, but those mirror cities will also become cities!
If Dajiang's headquarters plus four mirror cities, plus a small city are all cities, then how strong will Dajiang be?
Living in such a city, which tribe can enter the city to plunder?
"Big, great chief!" Li Hu took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, "You mean that the mirror city outside will also have walls in the future?"
Mu Feng smiled and said, "Not bad!"
After receiving Mu Feng's affirmative answer, he couldn't hide his excitement repeatedly, and just wanted to shout loudly.
Bai Yue was also very excited, and asked excitedly: "Chief, you just said to name the cities, what are the names of these cities?"
Mu Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Da Jiang's headquarters is our headquarters, and our totem is a dragon, so this city in our headquarters is called Dragon City!"
"Dragon City!" The three of them were startled in unison.
Mu Feng laughed and said, "When the city wall is completed, I will have someone carve the word 'Dragon City' on the top of the city gate!"
The three of them looked at each other, greatly shocked.
They had never heard of this before, and they were only shocked in their hearts!
"Then, what about the other Mirror City?" The three hurriedly asked.
Mu Feng thought for a while and said: "That's simple, since the main city is called Dragon City, the other four mirror cities also exist to protect the main city, which is in line with the meaning of protecting the center from all sides.
The first mirror city is called Qinglong!
The second Mirror City is called White Tiger!
Sisan made Mirror City and called it Suzaku!
The fourth mirror city is called Xuanwu!
As for the small city, because it is a place for trading and gathering wealth and luck for me, it is called Pixiu City! "
Several people were excited and astonished.
The exciting thing is that the names of these cities sound very imposing, but they don't understand what the names mean.
Mu Feng saw the puzzlement in their eyes, smiled and took out a few pictures that had been drawn beforehand.
Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Pixiu.
The three of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
They had never seen or heard of every kind of beast in the picture, but after seeing their appearance, they immediately determined that this was the beast city that Da Jiang needed!
And these mythical beast cities exist for their big Jiang's dragon city - this shows how powerful their totem dragon is!
The strength of the dragon means the strength of their ginger!
Bai Yue was so excited that she held the painting in her hand and said, "Great Chief, is our city named after these beasts?"
"En!" Mu Feng nodded, "For other tribes, the mythical beast is just the name of a city in our tribe. And our Dajiang has a more powerful and powerful totem—the dragon!"
When the word "dragon" was mentioned, everyone couldn't help but feel that Jiang at this moment was invincible!
