As Han Cheng expected, those who heard Shi Shi say such words were immediately stunned when they heard this.
Because what Shitou said was really shocking.
Last night, they all heard those things said by the Son of God. At that time, they were all extremely amazed at the size of the earth, the vastness of the sea water, and the wonders of all kinds of things.
But the exclamation last night, compared with this time today, suddenly didn't seem as amazing anymore, because this guy Shitou said a more surprising and bold idea.
Build a ship big enough to cross the vast ocean with almost no edges, and then bring the good things from the rest of the land back to the tribe...
Such a thing is so amazing that people can't even imagine it.
However, after experiencing the initial exclamation, everyone thought carefully about what Shi Shi said and found it very exciting.
If we could really accomplish this and collect many kinds of delicious food into our own tribe, then just thinking about it would make people feel comfortable all over.
Thinking carefully about the way your tribe grew and grew, it was not the Son of God who led everyone along the way to find a variety of food.
At first, I used fish traps to catch fish. Later, after I got rapeseed and millet, I started farming, raising pigs, and rabbits.
Just yesterday, I found two more delicious ones that can be grown on a large scale...
It is foreseeable that with these two new delicacies, our tribe will become better in the future.
From this point of view, what Shitou said is not unreasonable at all!
So, people who figured this out became excited.
I am so happy and amazed by such a great wish.
Now that my tribe only has these foods, it has already developed so well. If this great wish can really be realized, how powerful will our tribe become?
Just thinking about these things, everyone feels their hearts agitated.
Han Cheng couldn't help but smile as he looked at the people who were full of admiration and excitement.
Many times people just need to dare to think something. Whether it is daydreaming or whimsical, it is always good to dare to think something.
There are so many things that I dare not even think about, so how can they be realized?
For example, people in ancient times imagined clairvoyance and shunfeng ears, but weren't they all realized one by one later?
Now that such a seed is sown in my tribe that seems out of reach, even like a joke, it cannot be said that it will definitely not be realized.
The days are long, and who can predict what will happen in the future?
After eating a very wild breakfast, Han Cheng and those who still had not recovered from the excitement began 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 first, just like the tribe before building it, to ensure safety, and then start building houses.
But this can only be an idea, because building the wall is too time-consuming.
I remember when we first built the inner wall of the Qingque Lord Tribe, the total number of adult men and women in the tribe was only over thirty, which was about the same number as myself and others now.
Moreover, at that time, I had already tinkered with the fish cage. The food problem was basically solved by minors, and the adults could build the wall with peace of mind.
Just like this, the people in the tribe built a wall of that size from spring until winter before they could barely use it.
In the second year, it took almost half a year to raise it to its current scale.
Now, I am waiting for others here, and I need to provide food by myself.
Even though the tools are vastly different from what they were back then, and everyone is more proficient in these things, if you want to build a wall with the same specifications as the main tribe's inner wall, I'm afraid it won't be completed until winter.
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 exploited.
In other words, the population size here will not be too small.
Accordingly, the wall cannot be built too small, and must be at least larger than the inner wall of the main tribe.
It was after such calculations that Han Cheng put aside the matter of building the wall very simply and neatly.
Moreover, judging from the current equipment in the tribe and the strength of everyone, the need for walls is not as urgent as before.
When ordinary tribesmen come over, just these people can press them to the ground and rub them vigorously, just like the one-eyed tribe they met on the way here.
If we don't build walls, we have to build houses.
Regarding the house, Han Cheng naturally wanted to get it done in one step, so as to save trouble in the future.
According to the current construction specifications of the Qingque tribe's houses, the roofs are basically covered with tiles.
There are no tiles here, so you can only build a kiln and burn them now, which also takes a lot of effort and manpower.
At the same time, we also need to make ropes and fences.
After calculating back and forth like this, Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff. He had more than thirty people, but he was still a little short! He didn't feel like he was doing enough for anything...
Han Cheng arranged tasks for these people. Twenty people took axes, saws and other things to go to a place not too far away to cut down trees.
Before cutting down the trees, people first held weapons and dogs, beat gongs, formed a formation in pairs, and inspected the forest land that was not too dense, back and forth.
Make sure there are no too ferocious beasts hidden inside that may cause harm to people during subsequent logging.
In the process, I also harvested some food.
The remaining people were busy working in the temporary camp.
Some people with more skillful hands are using tools such as axes to make some wooden tools that need to be used next, while others are holding sickles to clean up the weeds on the land.
As for Han Cheng, accompanied by two people with weapons in their hands, he walked around the land and planned the land.
Now, this is not the first time that Han Cheng has led people to do such a project. Although he is from a completely wild background, he has experienced the inner courtyard of the Qingque main tribe, the expansion of the main tribe again, and the living in 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 unfamiliar when you do it.
When building such a brand new tribe, early planning is essential, so that the layout of the entire tribe will appear more reasonable, the functional areas will be clearer, and both production and life will appear comfortable.
Moreover, a good plan can also waste as little manpower and material resources as possible, and prevent things that were built with great effort not long ago from being demolished because they are not suitable.
After looking at this area carefully, Han Cheng took out paper and charcoal and watched the terrain being sketched on the paper.
The main thing is to draw a rough floor plan, and then take into account everything that can be considered.
The design on the drawings is not reasonable, so it is really difficult to build it properly.
This is a meticulous and patient job. Even though the planning map drawn by Han Cheng, a wild man, is already very simple, there are also the Qingque Lord Tribe, the Tongshan Residential Area, and what will be seen in later generations.
He made reference to some large courtyards, 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 completed the matter.
At this time, the paper in his hand had changed drastically. The most drawn on it were many rectangles with different lengths and widths.
These rectangles have names written on them.
For example, the row of rectangles near the north that look basically the same have the word 'housing' written on them.
Near the south gate, on the smaller rectangle, there are words like 'slave housing' written on it, and there are also words like 'kitchen', 'pig pen', 'duck house', etc.
While Han Cheng was making these plans, people in the tribe also cut down a lot of trees. Some of the felled trees were carried back, while others were thrown into the nearby water at Han Cheng's instruction.
.
These trees soaked in water are laying the foundation for further construction.
Because the wood that has been soaked in water for a period of time will not crack easily after being taken out and dried in the shade, and any bugs that may be inside can be soaked to death, so it is very suitable for making beams and columns.
Of course, when choosing a puddle for soaking wood, you usually choose one where the water is not very deep and is not connected to the river there.
Otherwise, after a heavy rain, the wood soaked in water is likely to drift with the tide and disappear.
"Clean up all the weeds in this area and build houses here first."
Holding the planning map in his hand and using the tape measure made from the leather rope he carried, Han Cheng measured the land, pointed to a place and said to everyone.
Before arranging for everyone to do this, he had already asked people to dig a shallow trench along the location where he and Shitou had measured out where the wall should be.
On the one hand, this will save you from having to re-find the location when building the fence in the future. On the other hand, after finding the location of the fence, it will be easier to layout the rest of the buildings.
At this time, the place that Han Cheng pointed out to everyone was relatively close to the gate of the wall. In his plan, this was where the slave courtyard was located.
The slave courtyard was the building that Han Cheng decided to build first this time.
This was a decision he made after careful consideration.
The size of the slave courtyard in the tribe is the lowest among all residential houses.
Not only is the house not big or high, but it is also covered with thatch instead of tiles.
The amount of the project is small, and the requirements in all aspects are not high, so it is very suitable for Han Cheng and others to build it at this time.
After building some such houses, everyone will have a place to live when they come next time.
When the time comes, people can live in these houses and build other buildings, and they will have a serious place to shelter from wind and rain.
And Han Cheng and the others left something here during their trip.
After Han Cheng gave such an instruction, everyone immediately started to take action, and the weeds here were quickly and completely cleared away.
Han Cheng, on the other hand, and Shitou and the others picked up a tape measure made of leather ropes, measured the land, and quickly determined the location of the house.
Someone nailed wooden pegs there according to the location they measured, tied strings to the wooden pegs, and determined a straight line at two points. The place where the foundation needed to be excavated was quickly determined.
Then everyone used the tools and began to excavate the foundation along the location determined by the string.
The construction of the second branch of Qingque began, and Han Cheng had already given a name to this sub-tribe that had just started construction. The name was very loud, and it was called Jinguan City.
When mentioning Jinguan City, it is easy to think of the world-famous Shu Brocade and the short-lived dynasty Hou Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
Because Mrs. Huarui liked hibiscus, Meng Chang, the empress of the Later Shu Dynasty, had hibiscus planted all over Jinguan City. When the flowers bloomed, the entire Jinguan City was filled with brilliant clouds and blooms, just like its name.
.
Of course, Han Cheng would not let people plant hibiscus in the tribe. After all, he did not have a wife who liked hibiscus.
Judging from the fact that the child bride-in-law Bai Xuemei liked to feed silkworms and reel silk, by that time many mulberry trees would have been planted here.
But then it will be able to live up to the name Jinguan City.
People in the tribe are no longer unfamiliar with building houses. After all, over the years, the Qingque tribe has built many houses from scratch.
At this time, there were metal tools around, so when I started doing these things, my speed was not slow.
The foundation is not dug deep, less than half a meter.
After the foundation was dug, Han Cheng did not ask people to find stones and build them up like he had done before when building houses in the tribe. After building up the ground to half a meter or higher, he rammed earth on top to make walls.
Instead, he directly asked people to cut off many wooden sticks that were nearly one meter long and as thick as a baby's arm, burned them with fire, carbonized them, sharpened one end, and nailed them along the foundation.
The reason for doing this is because there are few scattered stones around this piece of land, and it would be too time-consuming to quarry and transport the stones.
Moreover, this is just a relatively low slave courtyard, so it does not require such a large amount of effort.
Along the excavated foundation, set a row of carbonized wooden piles, and then ram the soil.
These tools for ramming earth can be easily made if metal tools are available.
It's no problem to carry these hooks.
From the moment the ground was broken, everyone began to be busy.
As everyone is busy, the place is also beginning to change. Some things that should have never appeared in this land are beginning to appear as everyone is busy.
"Zheng~"
There was a sound of a bowstring, and an arrow shot out. A big bird that had not yet realized what was going on immediately started flapping wildly on the spot. Before it finished flapping, a dog jumped up and whined.
He walked over, grabbed it, pulled it back, and ran to Junior Brother Sha, wagging his tail as if he was taking credit.
Junior Brother Sha smiled and took the prey from the dog's mouth, put it in the backpack, and gently touched the dog's head.
Then he and several other people traveling with him continued to walk forward, looking for prey.
This place is far away from the main tribe, and there is no food accumulated by the main tribe. Everyone can only rely on hunting and gathering wild vegetables to survive.
Several people, including Junior Brother Sha, who were good at using bows and arrows, were assigned hunting tasks by Han Cheng and were 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 storing fish cages.
Of course, everyone would not let go of the fish cage, which was the most labor-saving way to obtain food. On the basis of the original fish cage, many more were woven, totaling forty or fifty, and they were all 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 they are basically not as good as the fish cages woven by Lame, there is still no problem in using them for fishing.
Fortunately, there are so many fish cages, otherwise, just feeding everyone will become a big problem.
After Junior Brother Sha and others have obtained sufficient food, they will also put down their hunting bows and join in the work of building houses.
When the house was built more than half way up, Han Chenggong no longer asked Junior Brother Sha and others to participate in the construction of the wall.
Instead, they were asked to take sickles and go to the waterside to harvest things like calamus when food was plentiful and there was no need for hunting.
He and the people in the tribe did not find thatch nearby, so they had to use local materials.
Fortunately, this type of vegetation grows relatively deep, so it can still last for some time after being harvested and used to lay roofs.
Of course, what Junior Brother Sha and the others harvested were basically the ones that had grown old last year. The new ones that grew this year were still too shallow and too tender.
As night falls, bonfires are lit to take over the sun's rays for illumination.
After having dinner and resting for a while at the temporary camp, everyone in the Qingque tribe started a new round of busyness after a busy day.
"Chi Leng~Chi Leng~"
There were strange sounds coming from the temporary camp.
The second senior brother and others were sitting around the campfire, moving constantly.
They were peeling off the bark of a tree called paper mulberry.
Its skin is very tough and suitable for making ropes.
Every time some bark is pulled off, there will be a sound like this.
There is no shortage of ropes in the Qingquezhu tribe and the Tongshan residential area, because in addition to growing hemp, these two tribes also grow some rope grass that can also be used to twist ropes.
But that's not the case here.
Han Cheng and the others took a lot of things like ropes with them when they left, but they didn't bring anything for use in the building.
The ropes they carry are basically used when they are walking, setting up camps, etc. They are very important and naturally cannot be used for building houses at this time.
So there was a scene where everyone worked overtime around the fire to peel off the tree bark after dinner.
The peeled bark will be twisted into ropes by a few women with more skillful hands.
This kind of rope twisted out of bark is not thick and is mainly used for weaving fences.
No one complained about this kind of overtime work. This was partly because it was building a new tribe for their own tribe, and it was something that every member of the Qingque tribe should do.
Moreover, the Son of God has also said that after building these houses, they will set off to return to the main tribe and tell the people in the tribe about all the good things they and others have seen here.
Another aspect is that when you work overtime at night, Shenzi will always say something very interesting or extremely magical to everyone.
Everyone liked what the Son of God told them very much.
There are even many people who feel that as long as they can hear the Son of God talking about these things every night, they will work overtime every night without humming a tune.
The things the Son of God talks about are much more interesting than humming a ditty!
At this time, Han Cheng completely transformed into the 1980s and 1990s. He was carried outside and placed on the table. As long as it was night, many people would gather around to watch the small black and white TV.
Han Cheng also enjoys this kind of treatment. On the one hand, through such things, while opening the horizons and increasing the knowledge of the people in the tribe, he can also stuff some private goods into it to make them think about what he wants.
exhibition.
On the other hand, when telling these things like stories to the tribe generals, I can be lazy openly.
It’s a wonderful feeling to watch other people working there while you can secretly fish for fish from the sidelines...
The sky was getting gloomy and it was raining quite a bit outside. Even if people had covered the tent with calamus in advance, the tent was still damp inside. This feeling of dampness was very uncomfortable.
This is the disadvantage of temporary camps. It's fine on weekdays, but when it's windy or rainy, it immediately becomes uncomfortable.
Through the gaps in the tent, I looked at the twelve flat houses that had been built. Many people squatting inside wanted to build them as soon as possible.
In this way, when it rains next time, they can live in the house without having to suffer such a sin again...
A heavy rain fell, and the water that did not have time to seep into the land flowed along the ravines into the river, causing the river water to rise a lot.
Han Cheng, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, stood at the temporary camp, looking towards the places where rice grew in the distance, worried that the rice would be washed away by the rising river water.
