Chapter 867 The 2nd Tribe - Jinguan City
As expected by Han Cheng, those who heard Shi Shi's words were stunned when they heard this.
Because what Shishi said was too shocking.
Last night, they all heard those things from the Son of God. At that time, they were all amazed at the size of the earth, the vastness of the sea, and the miraculousness of various things.
But compared with the amazement of last night, compared with this time today, it suddenly doesn't look astonishing, because this guy Shishi said a more surprising and bold idea.
Build a ship big enough to cross the vast ocean with almost no borders, and then bring back the good things on the remaining large land to the tribe...
Such a thing is too amazing, people can't imagine.
But after experiencing the initial amazement, everyone thought about what Shi Shi said carefully, and found it very exciting.
If you can really do this and gather many kinds of delicious food in your own tribe, then you will feel comfortable thinking about the situation.
Thinking carefully about the path of development and growth of my own tribe, isn't it just that the Son of God led everyone along the way to find a variety of food.
At the beginning, I used fish cages to catch fish, and then I started farming, raising pigs and rabbits after I got rapeseed and millet.
Just yesterday, I found two more delicious ones that can be grown on a large scale. .
It is foreseeable that with these two new delicious foods, our tribe will become better in the future.
From this point of view, what Shi Shi said is not unreasonable at all!
As a result, people who figured this out became excited.
Delighted and amazed at such a great wish.
Now my tribe has developed so well just by having these foods. If this great wish can really be realized, then how powerful my tribe will become!
Just thinking about these things, everyone felt their hearts agitated.
Han Cheng looked at the excited crowd with longing faces,
He couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
Many times people just need to dare to think, whether it is daydreaming or whimsical, it is always good to dare to think.
There are so many things that I dare not even think about, how can I achieve them?
For example, the clairvoyance and wind ear that ancient people imagined, didn't they all come true later?
Now that such a seemingly unreachable, even joke-like seed is planted in my own tribe, it cannot be said that it will not be realized.
The future is long, and who can say what will happen in the future?
After eating a very wild breakfast, Han Cheng and the people who still haven't recovered from the excitement started to get busy, preparing to build the second branch of their tribe here.
According to Han Cheng's idea, it is best to build a wall here like the previous tribe, so that safety can be guaranteed, and then start building houses.
But this can only be an idea, because building the wall is too time-consuming.
I remember that when the inner wall of the Qingque main tribe was built, there were only more than 30 adult men and women in the tribe, which was about the same as the number of myself and others now.
And at that time, I had already fiddled with the fish cage, and the food problem was basically solved by the minors, and the adults could build the fence with peace of mind.
Just like this, the people in the tribe built a wall of that size from spring to winter before they could barely use it.
In the second year, it took almost half a year to heighten it before it reached its current scale.
Now, I am waiting for others here, and I need to solve the food myself.
Even though the tools are vastly different from those at that time, and everyone is more proficient in these things, but if they want to build a wall with the same specifications as the inner wall of the main tribe, it may take until winter to complete it.
And after the discovery of rice and sweet millet stalks, even if the climate stops here and does not continue to get colder, this place will definitely be developed and utilized.
In other words, the population size here will not be too small.
Correspondingly, the wall cannot be built too small, at least it must be larger than the inner wall of the main tribe.
It was after such a calculation that Han Cheng would put aside the matter of building the wall first.
Moreover, judging from the current equipment in the tribe and the force value of everyone, the need for the fence is not as urgent as it was at the beginning.
Ordinary tribes come over, just like them, they can press it on the ground and rub it vigorously, just like the one-eyed tribe whose leader they met on the way here before.
If you don't build a wall, you have to build a house.
As for the house, Han Cheng naturally wanted to do it in one step, so as to save trouble in the future.
According to the current house construction specifications of the Qingque Tribe, the roofs are basically covered with tiles.
There are no tiles here, and the kiln can only be repaired and fired, which also takes a lot of effort and manpower.
At the same time, we have to make ropes and make fences.
After calculating back and forth like this, Han Cheng couldn't help sniffling. The thirty-odd people he had were still a little small! I don't think it's enough to do anything...
Han Cheng arranged tasks for these people. Twenty people took axes and saws to a place not too far away to cut down trees.
Before felling trees, let people hold weapons, bring dogs, beat gongs, form a pair formation, and patrol back and forth against the not too dense forest land, in order to Make sure there's nothing hiding inside that's too ferocious to cause harm to people in the logging that follows.
In the process, I also harvested some food by the way.
The rest of the people are busy with things here in the temporary camp.
Some hands are more dexterous, using tools such as axes to make some wooden tools that will be used next, and some people are holding sickles to clean up the weeds on this piece of land.
As for Han Cheng, accompanied by two men with weapons in their hands, he walked around the land and made plans for the land.
Now, it is not the first time that Han Cheng has led people to do such a project. Although he was born in a wild way, he has experienced the inner courtyard of the main tribe of Qingque, the expansion of the main tribe, and the residence of Tongshan. After the construction of the district, I have learned a lot about how to build a compound that can accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people as best as possible.
It won't look awkward anymore.
When creating such a brand-new tribe, pre-planning is essential, which can make the layout of the whole tribe more reasonable, the functional areas are relatively clear, and both production and life are comfortable.
Moreover, a good plan can also waste as little manpower and material resources as possible, so that things that were built with great effort not long ago will not be demolished because they are not suitable.
After carefully looking at this piece of land, Han Cheng took out the paper and charcoal pen, and watched the terrain being sketched on the paper.
The main thing is to draw a rough floor plan, and then take into account all the things that can be considered.
The design on the drawings is not reasonable, so it is really difficult to build it reasonably.
This is a meticulous job that requires patience. Even though the planning map drawn by Han Cheng, Ye Luzi, is already very simple, there are also Qingquezhu tribe, Tongshan residential area and later generations who have seen it. Some large courtyards for reference, but these things still took him a lot of time.
There is no way, there are too many things to consider.
It was not until noon the next day that Han Cheng finally finished the matter.
At this time, the piece of paper in his hand has changed drastically. The most drawn on it are many rectangles with different lengths and widths.
These rectangles have names written on them.
For example, the row of almost identical rectangles near the north has the word 'housing' written on it.
Near the south gate, on the smaller rectangle, the words 'slave housing' are written, and some have 'kitchen', 'pig pen', 'duck house', etc., all kinds of things.
When Han Cheng was planning these, the people in the tribe also cut down a lot of trees, some of the felled trees were carried back, and others were thrown into the nearby not deep water under Han Cheng's signal .
These trees soaked in the water lay the foundation for further construction later.
Because the wood that has been soaked in water for a period of time is not easy to crack after being taken out and dried in the shade, and it can also kill the bugs that may exist in it, so it is very suitable for beams and columns.
Of course, when choosing a water hole for soaking wood, you basically choose the kind of water that is not very deep, and it is not connected to the river over there.
Otherwise, after a lot of rain, the wood soaked in the water is likely to drift with the tide and disappear.
"Clean up all the weeds in this area, and build a house here first."
Holding the planning map in his hand and measuring the land with the tape measure made of the leather rope he was carrying, Han Cheng pointed to a place and said to everyone.
Before arranging them to do this, he had asked them to dig a shallow ditch along the position where the wall should be measured by him and Shitou.
On the one hand, this will save you from having to find a new location when building the fence in the future. On the other hand, after finding out the location of the fence, it will be convenient for the layout of the rest of the buildings.
At this time, the place that Han Cheng pointed out to everyone was closer to the gate of the wall. According to his plan, this was the place where the small courtyard of slaves was located.
The small courtyard for slaves is the first building that Han Cheng decided to build this time.
This is a decision he made after some careful consideration.
The specifications of the slave yards in the tribe are the lowest among all the living houses.
Not only is the house not big and tall, but the house is not covered with tiles, but with thatch.
The project volume is small, and the requirements in all aspects are not high, which is very suitable for Han Cheng and the others to build at this time.
After building some of these houses, everyone will have a place to live when they come next time.
At that time, people can live in these houses and build other buildings, which can be regarded as a serious shelter from wind and rain.
And Han Cheng's trip can be regarded as leaving something here.
After Han Cheng uttered such an order, everyone started to act immediately, and the weeds here were quickly and completely removed by people.
Han Cheng, on the other hand, took a tape measure made of leather rope with Shitou and the others, measured the land, and quickly determined the location of the house.
Someone nailed wooden pegs there according to the positions they measured, and tied strings to the wooden pegs. Two points determined a straight line, and quickly determined the place where the foundation needed to be excavated.
Then everyone used tools and began to excavate the foundation along the position determined by the wire rope.
The second sub-tribe of Qingque started construction, and this sub-tribe that has just started construction, Han Cheng has already named it, the name is very loud, it is called Jinguan City.
When it comes to Jinguan City, it is easy to think of the famous Shu brocade, and the short-lived dynasty Houshu in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Because Mrs. Huarui likes hibiscus, Meng Chang, the empress of the late Shu Dynasty, asked people to plant hibiscus in Jinguan City. When the flowers bloom, the whole Jinguan City will be as bright as clouds and blooming like brocade, just like its name. .
Of course, Han Cheng would not let people plant hibiscus in the tribe, after all, he did not have a daughter-in-law who liked hibiscus.
Judging from the fact that Bai Xuemei, the daughter-in-law of a child, likes to feed silkworms and reel silk, it will be almost the same time that many mulberry trees will be planted here.
But then it will be worthy of the name Jinguancheng.
People in the tribe are no strangers to building houses. After all, the Qingque tribe has built many houses from scratch over the years.
At this time, there are metal tools, and when doing these things, the speed is not slow.
The foundation was not dug deep, less than half a meter.
After the foundation was dug, Han Cheng didn't ask people to find stones to build them like they did when they built houses in the tribe. After building the ground half a meter or higher, they rammed earth to make walls.
Instead, people directly cut off many wooden sticks that were nearly one meter thick and the thickness of a baby's arm, burned them with fire, and after carbonization, sharpened one end, and nailed them down along the foundation.
The reason for doing this is because there are few scattered stones near this piece of land, and it would be too labor-intensive to mine and transport the stones.
And this is just to build a relatively low courtyard for slaves, and it doesn't take such a lot of effort.
Along the excavated foundation, set a row of carbonized wooden piles, and then ram the earth.
These tools for ramming earth can be easily made if there are metal tools.
Hooks and loads are nothing to worry about.
From the moment the ground was broken, everyone began to keep busy.
As everyone is busy, changes are beginning to take place here, and some things that should have never appeared on this land have begun to appear with everyone's busyness.
"Zheng~"
There was a sound of a bowstring, and a feathered arrow shot out. A big bird that hadn't realized what was going on immediately jumped up and down crazily on the spot. He got over it, grabbed it in his mouth and pulled it back, ran to Junior Brother Sha, wagging his tail as if asking for credit.
Junior Brother Sha smiled and took the prey from Gouzi's mouth, put it in the back basket, and gently stroked Gouzi's head.
Then, with the other people in the same group, they continued to walk forward, looking for prey.
This place is far away from the main tribe, and without the food accumulated by the main tribe, everyone can only rely on hunting and gathering wild vegetables to make a living.
A few people who are good at using bows and arrows, headed by Junior Brother Sha, were assigned by Han Cheng to hunt and be responsible for obtaining food for the tribe.
Except for Junior Brother Sha and the others, the main task of the women who followed was also to obtain food, such as collecting some familiar wild vegetables and putting away fish cages.
Fish cages are the most labor-saving method of obtaining food, and of course everyone will not let them go. On the basis of the original fish cages, many more have been woven. There are forty or fifty in total, and all of them have been lowered into the water.
After so many years, there are no longer a few people in the Qingque tribe who can weave fish cages. Although basically none of them are as good as lame woven fish cages, they can still be used for fishing.
It is also fortunate that there are so many fish cages, otherwise, just eating for everyone will become a big problem.
As for Junior Brother Sha and others, after getting enough food, they would put down their hunting bows and join in the work of building houses.
When more than half of the house was built up, Han Chengcheng stopped letting Junior Brother Sha and the others participate in the construction of the wall.
Instead, let them take a sickle and go to the water to harvest things like calamus when they have enough food and don't need to hunt.
He and the people in the tribe did not find thatch near here, so they can only use local materials.
Fortunately, this kind of vegetation grows relatively deep, and after harvesting, it can still resist for a while when it is used to lay the roof.
Of course, what Junior Brother Sha and the others reap are basically the old ones from last year, and the new ones this year are still too shallow and tender.
As night falls, bonfires are lit to replace the resting sun for illumination.
After eating dinner and resting for a while at the temporary camp, the people of the Qingque tribe started a new round of busyness after a busy day.
"Chi Leng ~ Chi Leng ~"
A strange sound sounded from the temporary camp.
The second senior brother and the others sat around the campfire, moving non-stop.
They are peeling off the bark of a tree called a mulberry tree.
Its skin is very flexible and suitable for making rope.
Every time some bark is torn off, there will be such a sound.
There is no shortage of things like rope in the Qingquezhu tribe and the Tongshan residential area, because in addition to planting hemp, these two tribes also plant some rope grass that can also be used to twist rope.
But not here.
Han Cheng and the others took a lot of things like ropes with them when they left, but they didn't carry them for the construction.
The ropes they carry are basically used when they are walking and setting up camps. They are very important, and naturally they cannot be used for building houses at this time.
So there was a scene where everyone worked overtime around the fire to uncover the bark after dinner.
The peeled bark will be twisted into ropes by those women with more dexterous hands.
This kind of rope rubbed out of bark is not thick, and it is mainly used for weaving fences.
For this kind of overtime work, everyone has no complaints. On the one hand, it is because this is building a new tribe for their own tribe, which is something that every member of the Qingque tribe should do.
And the Son of God has already said that after these houses are built, they will set off to return to the main tribe, and tell the people in the tribe all the good things they and others have seen here.
Another aspect is that after working overtime at night, Shenzi will always tell the big guys something very interesting or extremely miraculous.
Everyone liked what the Son of God said.
Many people even think that as long as they can hear the Son of God talk about these things every night, they will work overtime every night, and they are willing not to hum a little song.
The things that the Son of God narrated are much more interesting than humming a ditty!
At this time, Han Cheng has completely transformed into a small black and white TV that was carried outside and placed on the table in the later generations in the 1980s and 1990s. As long as it is night, many people will gather around to watch it.
Han Cheng also enjoys this kind of treatment very much. On the one hand, through this kind of thing, while opening the eyes of the people in the tribe and increasing their knowledge, he can also stuff some private goods in, so that they can move towards what they want develop.
On the other hand, when talking about these things like stories with the generals in the tribe, I can be lazy in an open and aboveboard manner.
It's a wonderful feeling to watch other people work there, but to be able to poke fish from the sidelines secretly...
The sky was gloomy, and it was raining a lot outside. Even though people had covered the tent with calamus in advance, the inside of the tent was still damp. This wet feeling was very uncomfortable.
This is the disadvantage of the temporary camp. It is okay on weekdays, but when it is windy and rainy, it will be uncomfortable immediately.
Through the gaps in the tent, looking at the twelve flat stacked houses that have been built, many people squatting inside want to build them as soon as possible.
In this way, when it rains again next time, they can live in the house and don't have to suffer such a crime again...
A lot of rain fell, and the water that didn't have time to seep into the ground flowed into the river along the gully, causing the river to rise a lot.
Han Cheng, wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, stood at the temporary camp, looking towards the place where rice grows in the distance, worried that the rice would be washed away by the rising river.
Although I know this is a kind of blind worry...
