Counting the wheels, the donkeys in the tribe are nearly 1.4 meters wide at their widest point, and the two donkey carts add up to 2.8 meters. When two donkey carts meet, there must be at least a distance of about three meters to avoid them.
If the two donkey carts that meet each other are carrying something beyond the vehicle body, such as hay and newly harvested grain, then more space will be needed.
A width of about four meters is required for good avoidance.
Counting the cattle and horses that we may encounter in our lifetime, and the more spacious cars that will appear with the emergence of these animals, the four-meter road is still a bit narrow. It is best to build the road to a width of five meters.
.
However, after much deliberation, Han Cheng decided to set the road at four meters.
Because in this way, a lot of workload can be reduced.
As for the problem that when the tribe had ox carts and horse-drawn carriages, the roads would be too narrow for traffic, Han Cheng also considered it.
That is, every one mile, build an extra one meter wide and fifteen meters long on one side of the road, similar to an emergency lane or a road where buses stop.
In this way, when two overly large vehicles meet and cannot be avoided on normal roads, one of the vehicles can be parked here to give way.
Although this method is still a bit troublesome, compared with building a one-meter-wide road that is nearly 200 miles away, it has saved a lot of engineering work.
Han Cheng previously coaxed Bai Xuemei that when the Qingtong Expressway was built, he would hitch a donkey cart, bring food, walk and play all the way, and then go to the Tongshan residential area to see the colorful pools. He didn't know when he would be told by the child bride.
Got out.
Now the entire Qingque tribe knows about this, and they are very yearning for this way of traveling, as well as the purpose of traveling.
With this kind of expectation, the people in the tribe were very motivated when they were building roads.
During the first two days of road construction, the people in the tribe were not very good at it and were a bit fumbling. After two days, everyone gradually got used to these things, and the speed of road construction increased.
With the hard work of everyone, a spacious, flat, and straight road began to appear slowly in most places, and began to extend farther to the west.
This process went on for three days. After Lame, Shitou and others had mastered measuring the width of the road and using lime powder to circle the shape of the road, Han Cheng began to arrange for people to go to the Tongshan residential area and map the road.
The specifications and corresponding construction methods are taught to the people there.
Arrange manpower to start building the road from there. This method of joint construction at both ends can increase the speed a lot.
While doing this, we also need to transport the previous batch of grain and some corresponding tools there.
Because the current Tongshan residential area has not yet been fully developed, we will almost be able to be self-sufficient in food after this autumn harvest.
Now we have to hire the Wind Tribe and the neighboring tribes of the Wind Tribe to build the road, and we have to take care of the food. This will consume a lot of food, and we can't do it without transporting food from the main tribe there.
Things like salt, pottery, and other things that serve as wages also need to be transported.
Originally, Han Cheng planned to let Shang Mao and the others take the trade team on this trip, but later, after thinking about it carefully, Han Cheng decided to make the trip himself.
Because the Wind Tribe and the neighboring tribes of the Wind Tribe will implement an employment system that has never appeared in the tribe, Han Cheng is worried that Junior Brother Sha and the others will not do well and cause some trouble.
At the same time, follow this newly opened road that can be used by people and deer. You can also make small-scale adjustments to some unreasonable parts of the route that were actually taken before to make this road better.
.
This road was planned by him, and he is the only one who knows most about many places, so it is best for him to do such things.
For these reasons, one day later, Han Chenggong put on his rattan armor and once again joined the trade team members and headed towards the Tongshan residential area with many things...
After a lot of hard work, Han Cheng and the members of the trade team who brought many things arrived at the Tongshan residential area.
Junior Brother Sha and the others, who had been looking forward to Han Cheng for a long time, were all extremely excited when they saw Han Cheng and the others arriving.
Because they have been eager to start building roads.
Not only them, but after seeing the carrying capacity of the donkey cart, even the people in the trading team such as Mao and Shang became extremely looking forward to the construction of the Bronze Expressway.
Because after the construction is completed, at least they will not have to work so hard when traveling between the Qingque Lord tribe and the Tongshan residential area.
However, the thought of starting to build the Bronze Expressway earlier was just an idea after all. After they prepared everything, the people from the Wind Tribe who were expected to have arrived long ago, and the people from the neighboring Wind Tribe, were always confused.
Didn't come.
The last time Han Cheng and the others returned to the Qingque Lord tribe from the Tongshan residential area was on the third day after the old primitive people returned.
Because we had to determine the route on the way back and do some things like clearing the passage, it took ten or twenty days to go back all the way.
After staying in the main tribe for five or six days, he led the people from the main tribe and headed all the way to the Tongshan residential area. It took another five or six days on the road.
After counting back and forth like this, it has been almost a month since the old primitive people left the Tongshan residential area.
According to what the old primitive man told Mao before, they would come in no time.
But now, Han Cheng and the others have arrived, but they have not arrived.
What are these guys doing? Why did they just break up the appointment?
Did they encounter danger on the way to find the neighboring tribe, had something unexpected happen, or did they suddenly no longer want to do this?
Han Cheng frowned slightly and thought about this matter that he had not considered before.
It's probably not because he broke the appointment and didn't come on purpose.
This is not because Han Cheng has extraordinary confidence in his own charm, but because he has strong confidence in salt and pottery.
Through these years of experience, Han Cheng had a very intuitive feeling about how attractive these two things were to those tribes.
With these two things around, Han Cheng didn't think the people from the Wind Tribe would break the promise.
Moreover, judging from the previous performance of the old primitive people, they did not seem to want to break the contract.
Then the only thing left is to encounter an accident.
In this era, it is not uncommon to encounter any kind of accidents. Many things can cause death of people, or even the destruction of entire tribes...
Thinking of this, Han Chengcheng scratched his scalp in frustration.
Many things that I thought were good before have become like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water after being exposed like this...
Sure enough, plans can't keep up with changes. It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen!
Han Cheng thought depressedly.
After still not seeing the old primitive people coming the next day, Han Cheng decided not to wait any longer.
Instead, some manpower was transferred from the Tongshan residential area, and he took the people from the trade team to work directly.
Han Cheng and the people from the trade team will not stay here for too long.
What they are doing now is to demonstrate and build a section of the road first. After teaching these people who were drawn from the work of mining ore and smelting copper and tin, they will return to the main tribe.
Then some manpower will be dispatched from the main tribe and asked to come to the Tongshan residential area to carry out construction.
Although this will delay some work and have some impact on the main Qingque tribe, if the people from the Wind tribe are not in place, Han Cheng doesn't have many other options to think of.
When the road was being built here, Han Cheng would look to the northwest from time to time, hoping that the people from the Wind Tribe would come over.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Time flies and another five days have passed, and the people from the Wind Tribe still haven’t appeared...
"well!"
After throwing a copper shovel of soil onto the road, Han Cheng leaned on the copper shovel and looked northwest of the Tongshan residential area again, but there was still no movement there.
This is already the seventh day that Han Cheng and the others have started construction. The road has been built for nearly 800 meters.
These people who were recruited from the Tongshan residential area have mastered the skills of building roads. They only need to leave the stones here for 'marking' and find the exact location of the road for them.
As for Han Cheng and the others, they can pack their things and return.
It seems that we really can’t count on the Feng tribe.
Han Cheng sighed, sniffed slightly and thought with depression that this might be the most depressing thing he has done since he came to this era.
No, we have to go and find the Xunfeng Tribe.
Han Cheng is a fickle man. The decision he made originally suddenly changed again.
The main reason was that he had been planning for so long and just when everything seemed to be settled, something like this happened, which made him feel unwilling and wanted to know what happened to the Wind Tribe.
If something bad does happen, if you can figure out the reason, you can also take precautions.
After all, from the words of the old primitive people, it can be concluded that the place where they live is not particularly far from the Tongshan residential area.
But even so, it is not easy to find the Wind Tribe, because no one in the tribe has ever been to the Wind Tribe.
Without knowing the road and only knowing a very wide direction, relying on the current conditions, it would be really not easy to find a tribe where no more than a hundred people can live, unless you are very lucky.
It is precisely because of this that Han Cheng had never thought of looking for the Wind Tribe before.
Now that such thoughts have arisen, Han Cheng has no intention of continuing to build roads here.
After shouting here, an hour later, a group of people armed with weapons, many dogs, deer, food and other things walked out of the gate of the Tongshan residential area and headed northwest.
The further away from the Tongshan residential area, the scarcer the traces of people become.
The people in the trade team all opened their eyes wide, trying to find some traces left by the people of the Wind Tribe when they came and went in this deserted place...
Moving forward in time, the location is changed to the location of the Wind Tribe northwest of the Tongshan residential area.
The cheerful old primitive man returned to the tribe with five other equally cheerful people in a happy mood.
When they spread the news back to the tribe that they could exchange for things like salt and clay pots through labor, the people of the Wind Tribe became very happy.
The people of the Wind Tribe, who were still vaguely worried about not having enough food such as salt, jumped up and down with joy after receiving this gratifying news.
They had a new understanding of the kindness and generosity of the powerful Qingque tribe.
The employer contributes the money and the employee contributes the effort. This concept was very common in later generations, but it was definitely something very advanced in this era.
What may seem to later generations to be a matter of course and even a bit exploitative, to them, seems like a good deed.
Because they have never thought that strength is valuable, nor have they had the concept that they can get delicious and very precious salt from other tribes through hard work.
After listening to the old primitive people talking about the transaction and exchanging strength for salt, they collectively thought that this was a good deed by the wealthy tribe. After seeing that they couldn't get much fur, they decided to do this through
Way, give them delicious salt and precious pottery!
The old primitive people stayed in the tribe for a day. After remembering the words of the extremely noble Son of God in the tribe, they took some food and simple weapons and followed the route they had migrated back to after the spring of this year.
Go north to find the tribe that is close to them and tell them this wonderful news.
Even in order to increase the credibility of their words, the old primitive people also brought a pottery bowl and some things like fur, wrapped in layers of salt...
After a while, the old primitive man took several other people back to the place where he lived in the north.
After taking a short rest here, they began to head towards the place where the neighboring tribe was in their memory...
"￥%#￥?!"
A primitive man, whose face was covered with bruises and bruises left by frostbite, grabbed the old primitive man and asked excitedly.
This man who appears to be relatively strong is the leader of the tribe that was adjacent to the Feng tribe both before and after the migration.
Because they have always been close to the Wind Tribe, for convenience, they can be called the Wind Tribe.
Not only the leader of the Linfeng Tribe, but also the rest of the Linfeng Tribe who understood what the old primitive man meant, now all looked at the old primitive man and them in surprise.
The old primitive people felt the eager gazes of these people, and suddenly felt very comfortable in their hearts, as if they were the ones who killed the evil Soaring Snake Tribe, and they looked proud of themselves.
With such a mood, under the expectant gaze of everyone from the Linfeng tribe, the old primitive man continued to talk about what he knew about the destruction of the Soaring Snake tribe and the kind and powerful Qingque tribe...
"Qingque tribe?"
After a while, the leader of the Linfeng tribe spoke these words in Mandarin with a stiff and weird accent.
Because in the narration just now, what the old primitive people mentioned the most was this strange-sounding tribal name.
Far more than the evil Soaring Snake Tribe that the leader of the Linfeng Tribe thought was worth talking about.
After the ecstasy, the leader of the Linfeng Tribe and the people of the Linfeng Tribe looked at the old primitive man and them with expressions of disbelief.
In their perception, the evil Soaring Snake Tribe is so powerful that there is no way to resist it.
And now, these people actually say that the evil and powerful Soaring Snake tribe was actually wiped out by that tribe with a very strange name?
Is there really such a tribe that can destroy the unrivaled Soaring Snake Tribe?
After seeing the reaction of the people from the Linfeng tribe and hearing their questions, the old primitive man seemed very angry, because he felt that that powerful, wealthy and extremely kind tribe could not be doubted like this.
!
After being secretly angry for a while, the old primitive man remembered the salt and the large pottery bowl he had brought with him.
"#￥%df?"
He took out the pottery bowl from the animal skin package, and took out the carefully preserved salt and opened it layer by layer.
These two things, which had never been seen before, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Linfeng tribe.
The Linfeng tribe in front of them asked curious questions. The old primitive man looked very arrogant and ignored them. Instead, he was doing his own thing - getting some water into the pottery bowl and pouring it into the pottery bowl.
Carefully put it on the fire, and then put some food inside...
"#￥%ty!?"
When the leader of the Linfeng Tribe and some people from the Linfeng Tribe ate the delicious food 'carefully' cooked by the old primitive people, they immediately became restless and had a look of surprise on their faces...
After the old primitive man sacrificed two sharp weapons, pottery and table salt, the people of the Linfeng tribe immediately believed what the old primitive man said.
Because these two magical things did not exist in the Wind Tribe before.
After the old primitive man said with a proud look on his face that if they went back to the Qingque tribe with him twice, they could also get these delicious things from the kind and generous Qingque tribe.
The leader of the Linfeng tribe, who was still thinking of waiting and migrating back, couldn't wait any longer!
They immediately patted their chests and expressed their willingness to migrate back immediately and go to that powerful and kind tribe with the old primitive people.
Sure enough, just as Han Cheng thought, most tribes have no resistance to salt and pottery...
The next day, the leader of the Linfeng tribe took the people in the tribe and left this place that made them sad.
They left without any regret, because here, the people of their tribe lost too many lives...
After a hard journey and two more forks in the road, the Linfeng tribe finally returned to their original place of residence.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, many people in the Linfeng tribe were inexplicably excited, and some older people were so excited that they shed tears.
When they left here, they thought they would never come back. As a result, the evil Soaring Snake tribe was actually wiped out by a kind tribe...
After returning to the original place of residence and making some arrangements, the leader of the Linfeng Tribe arranged for people to follow the old primitive people to the Wind Tribe impatiently, preparing to follow the old primitive people and the others to the powerful and kind-hearted place.
tribe.
Because along the way, he tasted food with salt added twice from the old primitive people, and the taste was really unforgettable.
After the old primitive man brought some people from the Linfeng tribe back to their tribe and expressed to the leader his idea of taking people to the kind-hearted Qingque tribe again soon, he was very happy and extremely happy about this matter.
At this time, the leader of the Wind Tribe became sad.
This is because during the time when the old primitive man left, the leader of the Wind Tribe suddenly realized something.
The thing is, according to the number of pottery pieces given by the kind tribe, a corresponding number of adults in the tribe are sent out to build roads in the kind-hearted Qingque tribe in exchange for salt, pottery, etc., and the tribe does not have enough.
Human hands come to get enough for everyone!
Moreover, those who went to 'build roads' also had to carry food with them, and could not always eat the food of that kind tribe.
In his opinion, by being able to exchange precious things such as salt and pottery from the kind-hearted Qingque tribe in this way, his tribe has already taken a huge advantage.
During this process, eating the food of the kind-hearted Qingque tribe would be a bit too much.
Even though he is a primitive man, he still understands some things very clearly.
After understanding what the leader meant, the old primitive man who was originally eager to lead people to the Qingque Tribe became somewhat silent.
He felt that what the leader said was very right.
If you carefully recall the series of things that happened after you met the Qingque tribe, you will find that your tribe took advantage of them in the interaction between the two parties.
The Qingque Tribe not only helped them eliminate the evil Soaring Snake Tribe, but also made them no longer have to worry about being attacked by the Soaring Snake Tribe.
And it brought them many benefits in their subsequent interactions.
Under such circumstances, they can't rely on road construction in exchange for delicious salt and precious pottery from the kind Qingque and still eat their food, right?
Not only the old primitive people, but also other people in the tribe strongly agreed with these words of the leader of the Wind Tribe.
After a long time like this, the old primitive man spoke in a hurried voice.
What he means is that not so many people go to the Qingque Tribe to build roads, and they bring all the food that the tribe can store, and bring their own food to build roads with the kind-hearted Qingque Tribe.
After this proposal was made, everyone agreed.
As a result, the people of the Wind Tribe quickly became busy and began to take out the food they had saved with great difficulty, so that the old primitive people and the others who were going to the Qingque Tribe to build roads in exchange for salt and pottery could
Bring it with you.
Even in order to bring more food, they went all out to get food around the tribe
A few days later, seven or eight of the old primitive people, plus five people from the Linfeng tribe, set off with large and small bags of things, preparing to go to build roads with the Qingque tribe...
