Zhao Hao did not explain to Cangwu how the city wall was built, because it would be too troublesome to explain clearly, so he might as well just show it to others.

Early the next morning, he took Ayun and Ayue, and under the guidance of Cangwu, walked to a secret location in the Black Stone Department.

What other secrets does the Blackstone Division have?

The secret is, of course, the firing of pottery.

People from the surrounding tribes had no idea how the Black Stone Tribe could make real pottery, but Zhao Hao had already guessed it.

Sure enough, after entering an inconspicuous small valley, he saw a simple ceramic kiln.

This ceramic kiln is actually a small artificially dug cave, but the inside of the "cave" is a roughly hemispherical structure, and it also has a chimney.

The ceramic kiln in Kuroishibe is not big, only about two or three cubic meters inside. People have to bend down to get in. Moreover, only one person can bend down to get in at a time, so one more person has to go in.

People can't move if they are squeezed inside.

At this time, it was a break for the pottery making. Several old masters from the Black Stone Department were digging clay and kneading pottery outside. The ceramic kiln was completely empty, with no fireworks and no pottery in sight.

Zhao Hao bent over and walked in to take a look. As expected, the Black Stone Department used coal to make pottery, and there were still uncleaned cinders in the pit in the middle of the ceramic kiln.

He took a general look inside, then came out and said to Cangwu: "Can you build a larger ceramic kiln?"

Ceramic kiln?

When Cangwu heard this, he was a little confused again, because there were only pottery now, not porcelain.

However, he still understood that Zhao Hao was talking about the hole they took out to bake pottery.

He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course we can dig out bigger ones, but we only have a few people in the Black Stone Department who can make better pottery, so why dig a bigger hole?"

Of course it is used to burn clay bricks!

The clay and coal are readily available, and there are several old models. What is missing is a few brick molds and a large brick kiln.

However, it is still troublesome to explain this thing.

Zhao Hao thought for a while, then simply pulled out the magic weapon, walked directly to a nearby big tree that was thicker than his waist, slashed it with a knife, cut it off at the root, and then kicked the tree trunk directly to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he took another cut of the tree trunk and cut it a few times. Soon, a wooden brick mold appeared in his hand.

Without saying a word, he just took the brick mold and came to a stone platform where people were working in an old-fashioned way. He motioned for others to give way first, and then he picked up the clay that had been dug out nearby and slapped it.

After a while, several square clay bricks appeared in front of everyone.

He pointed directly at the clay bricks and said to Cangwu: "If you put this thing in the kiln and bake it, will it become as hard as stone? We will use this thing to build the city wall. You think, a few months will be enough."

not enough?"

The table made of these square things was naturally also square. Cangwu finally understood what Zhao Hao meant. It turned out that this guy wanted to use these square pottery blocks to build a table!

Well, there is no problem with the platform built. The problem is, if it takes a few months to surround the entire settlement of the Black Stone Tribe with such a high platform made of square pottery blocks, how many square pottery blocks will be needed?

Block!

Cang Wu thought for a while, then pointed to the old man next to him and said, "It would be difficult for just these few people to make so many square pottery blocks in a few months, right?"

Square pottery blocks!

Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is not called a square pottery block, this is a pottery brick. As you saw just now, making pottery bricks is actually very simple. As long as you have a mold, lift the clay quickly, throw it in hard, and then use a wooden board

Just use bamboo chips or something to scrape off the excess clay on it. This kind of thing is something that most young people can do, right?"

Okay, this is really not difficult.

The question is, how big of a hole do you have to dig in order to burn enough clay bricks to build a stage in a few months?

Cang Wu thought for a while, but still couldn't estimate it, so he simply asked: "How big of a hole do you think should be dug to make it enough?"

Hole?

Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly and said: "I have already said that this hole for burning pottery is called a ceramic kiln. As for how big the hole is, it depends on how many people you can find to make pottery bricks. I estimate that it can stand

If you go into a ceramic kiln with a dozen people, you have to pay at least a dozen."

Hearing this, Cangwu couldn't help but be stunned.

How big is the hole that ten people can stand in?

That was bigger than the hole originally dug to catch Dangkang, the pig demon, and the mountain paste. Moreover, this hole was not dug in the soft mud, but on the hard hillside. One of them could kill a person, and also

Take out ten!

He thought for a while, and then he said, "Well, I'm afraid it will take me a month just to dig out the hole, right?"

Zhao Hao said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time. It will take at least ten months for the people from Xue Man's tribe to come."

Anyway, he didn't need to dig out the hole, so he didn't care.

Cang Wu frowned and said: "The time seems to be enough, but I don't have enough manpower. I have to call most of the young men to dig holes. Who will hunt? If there are not enough people to hunt, our Black Stone Department

A large number of our tribe will starve to death!"

Will people still starve to death at this time?

When Zhao Hao heard this, he was also stunned.

He really hadn't thought about this problem, because there are people in the Yan tribe who can't eat all the meat in a day. How could he have thought that people in the Black Stone tribe would starve to death.

Of course, this problem is easy to solve.

He was stunned for a moment, and then said boldly: "You don't have to worry about hunting. I will send you 10,000 kilograms of bison meat every day. That should be enough, right?"

Ten thousand pounds of bison meat a day!

Hearing this, Cang Wu was stunned again.

He had never visited the current settlement of Youyanbu, so he had no idea that Youyanbu raised cattle, let alone how many cattle he raised.

He was stunned for a while, and then he asked curiously: "Where are you going to hunt so many bison?"

Zhao Hao said quite proudly: "There are so many bison herds on the grassland. Now we have collected three herds. There are probably twenty to thirty thousand at least. Ten thousand kilograms of bison meat means ten cows."

, ten head a day, which is only 300 head a month, and after ten months, the total will be only 3,000 head. Don’t worry, we can still afford this amount of bison meat with the salt department. By the way, if you don’t mind eating it all

The beef tastes greasy, but we still have 10,000 to 20,000 sheep, so we can slaughter a dozen of them for you every day."

Can you still get sick of bison meat?

After hearing this, even the old man next to him fell into a daze.

Cang Wu was stunned for a while, and then he nodded heavily and said: "Okay, since you have caught so many bison and wild sheep, I will trouble you about the food. I will ask all the young men in the clan to dig holes!"

After hearing this, Zhao Hao thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, you wait for three or four days, I will order people to drive a group of cattle over and slaughter them next to the river valley not far from you, so that you can save money."

Meat takes up time."
