Chapter 38 Standard Ruler

From the next day, Hong Can began to lead people to do things according to Zhang Ke's instructions.

The young and strong among them were divided into hundreds of teams, and were managed respectively by dozens of cronies including Shi Xiong.

Half of the people spread out to hunt, and the rest were sent out to cut down trees and collect various stones to prepare for building houses.

The old, weak, women and children who stayed behind in the tribe did some things within their ability, such as sewing, tanning animal skins, weaving grass and vines, eradicating dry thorn bushes, processing existing corn, and tidying up the environment in the cave and the tribe.

This was an experience that Zhang Ke had never had before. At this moment, he felt like he was playing a game of civilization evolution in a dream.

The people of the Xiawan tribe have never managed hundreds of thousands of people, and they don't know what to do, so they can only follow orders.

Since Zhang Ke said that he wanted to build houses for people to live in, they would do this first.

In fact, these former enslaved people have far more experience in how to build houses than the people of the Hawan tribe.

This is what they do every day at 'No Phase Peak'.

However, they were working under the command of the ‘Devil’, and there were some things they might understand but they might not really understand.

If the houses cannot be built before the weather turns completely cold, many of these hundreds of thousands of people will probably freeze to death due to the severe cold in winter.

Shan Qiao was surrounded by hundreds of young men who were assigned to him from hundreds of thousands of people by Red Silkworm to serve as messengers.

And she gave Shan Qiao only one task, which was to organize people to build houses.

In Shan Qiao's mind, this should be a simple matter.

Because he has completely understood the model and drawings created by Zhang Ke. After all, it is just a simple residence, basically four walls and a roof.

But when many tribesmen continued to pull back stones and trees hand-to-hand, and Shan Qiao led a group of proud teenagers to prepare for a big fight, the cruel reality immediately gave him a blow to the head.

The basic height of the human race in the 'Mountain and Sea Realm' is about three meters, which means that the height of the house must be at least about five meters, otherwise a jump may hit the roof.

The area where the Xiawan tribe is located is very wide and the terrain is flat.

The thorn bushes used as defense have been cleared away by the women and children of the tribe led by the fire snake, and houses can be built as desired.

When Shan Qiao directed the five thousand people assigned to him to get busy, not to mention how difficult it was for these people to coordinate, they were stuck at the most basic step.

After digging a shallow foundation, Shan Qiao suddenly discovered that not only the large wooden beams he had prepared were too long or too short, but also the stone walls built were crooked, making it impossible to erect the house.

Shan Qiao tried hard several times, but the house he built was like a child randomly placing rocks on the ground. It was rickety and uninhabitable.

Shan Qiao went to Zhang Ke for advice in confusion. He didn't know how to proceed in this situation.

Hearing Shan Qiao's confusion, Zhang Ke smiled and gave him a volume of "Lu Ban Shu".

This book is just the first volume and does not involve spells, secret techniques, etc. It is just some basic operating methods for clay, tile, and wood craftsmen.

Including various diagrams of erecting houses, erecting erecting methods, Luban's true ruler, theory of each star, building gate towers, Jiuliang's building taboos, etc.

But even so, it is not something Shan Qiao can master in a short time.

The most critical knowledge among them is actually the knowledge of arithmetic and physics, and if you ask a primitive man to master such things, it would be too difficult.

Therefore, Zhang Ke simply taught him how to make ink fountains, planes, saws, chisels, files, hammers, ropes and other tools.

In addition, hundreds of rulers of the desired length were refined for him, which is what Shan Qiao needs most at present.

No rules, no standards!

A unified standard measurement tool plays a vital role in creating

As Shan Qiao listened to Zhang Ke explaining the use of these tools one by one, he suddenly felt enlightened and immersed himself in it.

If Zhang Ke hadn't reminded him that there were still many things that needed to be dealt with, Shan Qiao would have wished that Zhang Ke would have gone on explaining it like this forever.

Shan Qiao, who had broadened his horizons and mastered the use of construction tools, immediately called the hundreds of young men who were accompanying him to one place. After briefly explaining to them, he sent them to organize manpower to build houses.

The biggest difficulty in building this simplest house is actually that there are no standard sizes.

You can imagine that several people are working together, but everyone builds and builds according to their own estimates.

How can a house be successfully built with such divided materials?

Once Shan Qiao had a simple tool like a ruler, the situation immediately changed.

The human race of the ‘Mountain and Sea Realm’ possesses powerful strength, showing their advantage. They can easily carry huge beams and boulders.

Houses one after another were quickly formed in the Ha Wan tribe.

At this time, Hong Can, Shan Qiao and others did not have the concept of overall planning, so these houses were built in an orderly and messy manner.

This time Zhang Ke didn't say a word to remind him, and just watched from the sidelines.

Just like solving a problem, if you tell the students the answer but ignore the process of solving the problem, then the student's knowledge will be incomplete.

There are always some things that need to be experienced firsthand to be understood.

Zhang Ke positions himself as a leader who can guide the direction of the Xiawan tribe's civilization, but will not interfere in various daily life.

Just like the knowledge and ruler he imparted to Shan Qiao, these key things are an indispensable part of the civilization of the Cai people, so he will directly explain and teach them.

As Zhang Ke and Bu Chan expected, the heavy snow fell in a few days.

This is the first snow in winter, which also means that there is not much time left for the Xiawan tribe to prepare for the winter.

In the tribe, countless people worked day and night to build houses in the wind and snow.

Outside the tribe, countless tribesmen hunted all the wild beasts they saw and brought back a large amount of tuber food and dry wood.

Zhang Ke hangs in the air every day, mesmerized as he watches a huge primitive village being built bit by bit.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At Zhang Ke's current level, wanting to improve is not just about absorbing the power of heaven and earth, but also requires spiritual understanding.

In the blue world, he had never had the opportunity to observe the development of a race's civilization from the primitive period.

This process is as addictive as creating the world and establishing the rules of heaven and earth. You can imagine how valuable spiritual wealth it will bring to Zhang Ke once he promotes the rapid development of human civilization in this world.

Perhaps the opportunity for me to advance to the rank of Taoist Lord lies in this world.

The realm in the universe is as endless as the sands of the Ganges, but if you really want to find such a primitive star where the human race has just emerged, you need opportunities.

At this moment, Zhang Ke finally understood why Feihong Zhenjun would spare no effort and pay such a high price to lead this 'Tao-Devil War'.

After observing the Xiawan tribe for several days as if with God's eyes open, Zhang Ke understood one thing.

That is, it is difficult for the human race in this world to have a large tribe born.

In this primitive realm, humans have not yet mastered farming technology, which means there is a natural shortage of food.

There are limits to the number of wild beasts in an area. Even if the human race has no natural enemies, it is impossible to feed a huge group just by hunting.

This is good news for Zhang Ke.

With this information, Zhang Ke has already taken a certain advantage in this 'Tao Demon Battle'.

First of all, he has 400,000 people, which is the foundation for the development and growth of the tribe.

Secondly, because disaster is imminent in the Azure Realm at any time, Zhang Ke has accumulated a large amount of daily resources in his 'cave'.

If another cultivator comes over, even if he is given 400,000 people, he would not dare to take it. Not everyone can afford to support so many people.

Third, he has the knowledge in dreams, but he has systematically studied the six stages of human civilization development over five thousand years.

The Stone Age was the period when humans began to hunt and make fire. According to Zhang Ke’s knowledge, the current ‘Mountain and Sea Realm’ belongs to this most primitive era.

In the Bronze Age, tools were smelted, weapons were invented, and social order and the army were established.

In the Iron Age, farming and animal husbandry, human productivity and reproduction were directly proportional, and various human interests annexed and conquered each other.

In the age of the steam engine, the invention of the steam engine marked the extensive use of machinery by humans. At the same time, the six parts of human philosophy, religion, culture, economy, social system, and science gradually matured and eventually human civilization changed.

This 'Tao Demon War' only allowed a development period of two hundred years. It is impossible to completely enter the steam age in two hundred years.

But in order to win this war, Zhang Ke didn't mind forcibly upgrading some technologies.

As for the information age and the intelligent age, this is not what Zhang Ke is prepared to consider.

Zhang Ke felt that whether it was the prepared Lord Feihong or the ‘Heavenly Demon’ who had come to this world for six hundred years, they were definitely not as good as his current situation.

The knowledge of 'human development' may only be sorted out, co-ordinated, summarized, summarized and discussed in the environment of dreams.

Zhang Ke hung in the air, looking at the humans working as hard as ants below, and a thought came to his mind.

'It seems that we need to have a good discussion with Red Silkworm about the tribe's follow-up development plan.'

...

night!

Inside the Zhongfeng Large Cave.

Every few days, Red Silkworm and others would gather together to discuss some recent events, the development progress of the tribe, and various difficulties encountered.

Usually Hong Can and others will ask Zhang Ke for advice or help with many questions and difficulties.

Today is no exception. Red Silkworm first talked about various situations in the tribe, and then said:

“Builder, the weather is getting colder and colder, the hunting range is getting wider and wider, and it is getting harder and harder to catch prey.

In recent days, more than 300 tribesmen who went out hunting have been killed or injured. Except for a few of them who were injured by monsters and wild beasts, most of the tribesmen died of frostbite due to the weather.

Thousands of houses have been built now, and if they are squeezed together as much as possible, the Wufeng Cave should be enough for the tribesmen to live in.

But the animal skins to keep out the cold are simply not enough for the tribesmen to survive this winter. I wonder if the lay people can do anything about it?"

While Hong Can was talking, he looked at a small man next to Zhang Ke.

This is a woman who is much shorter than Zhang Ke. She is wearing a gorgeous golden and red robe with twelve tassels hanging down her waist.

Although he is not tall, his figure is exquisite and well-proportioned.

The skin can be broken by blows, and it is delicate and has a luster like beautiful jade. He obviously has a pair of big eyes, but he always can't open them in a daze.

At this time, the short woman rested her hands on her chin, holding on to the back blade of a sickle that was golden red compared to hers and kept dozing off.

The Red Silkworm and the Fire Snake looked jealously at this woman's delicate skin that could squeeze out water.

This kind of skin will never appear on the female human race of the ‘Mountain and Sea Realm’.

At the same time, Red Silkworm was also a little curious. It had been more than ten days since Zhang Ke returned to the Xiawan tribe again.

This was the first time she saw this woman, and she didn't know where this strange woman came from.

At this moment, it was not just Red Silkworm, Stone Bear and six other people who appeared in the cave.

There were also a dozen enslaved people who performed outstandingly during these days and were recognized by Red Silkworm to become tribe managers.

After Zhang Ke waited for Red Silkworm to finish speaking, he introduced it first.

"Her name is Wanxiang. There will be places where she will be needed to help in the future, but she will not participate in the development of the tribe."

When Wan Xiang heard Zhang Ke calling his name, he reluctantly opened his eyes, said softly, and dozed off again leaning on the giant war scythe.

Seeing Wanxiang's confused look, Red Silkworm couldn't help but look at each other with other tribesmen.

This little woman is no taller than her own calf, so what can she do to help!

However, naturally no one would say such words, they just responded to express their understanding.

Zhang Ke then said:

"Now that winter has entered, it is indeed no longer suitable for the tribesmen to hunt outside. Moreover, the wild animals must rest and recuperate, otherwise the tribesmen will have nothing to eat when spring comes and the flowers bloom."

Red Silkworm and others still understand the principle of not fishing from the lake.

If it weren't for the fact that there were hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting for food in the tribe and the lack of countless resources, the Xiawan tribe would not go out hunting after the snow fell.

After all, Zhang Ke made it clear that the food in the 'granary urn' has its limit, and the more you can save, the better.

In the past, today's tribesmen would have been hiding in warm caves and fighting.

"Later, I will open the second restriction of [The Scroll of Thousand Gold Chariots and Horses], so that I can extract fur clothes to keep out the cold."

Before Red Silkworm and the others showed joy on their faces, Zhang Ke said again:

"But these are just measures for rights and interests. When the earth is covered with green, I will take back the [Thousands of Gold Chariots and Horses], and the tribe will have to repay the consumed resources bit by bit."

Hong Silkworm couldn't help but look bitter after hearing this.

There are now 400,000 people in the tribe, and we don't know how much food they will consume this winter.

She had made some calculations with Shan Qiao before, but the result gave her nightmares for several days.

If she really wanted to repay it, she didn't have the courage to calculate how many years it would take. She even doubted that she would never be able to repay the resources.

Zhang Ke looked at the expressions of everyone present and found that some people's expressions were the same as those of Red Silkworm, full of embarrassment and bitterness.

And some people are thinking about something thoughtfully.

Zhang Ke once again concluded that Red Silkworm did not have the ability to become the leader of a large tribe.

"Shan Qiao, what are you going to do if something like this happens to you?"
