Due to limited manpower, there are not many buildings that Hua Xi needs to build in the first step. There are only the main building and the houses of a few elders of the tribe. As for other tribesmen, they can temporarily live in the village.
Hua Xi carefully counted the population of the tribe. There were now 127 women, 283 young and middle-aged men, and over a hundred old people and children. After excluding those who made pottery, bows and arrows, gathered, and hunted, the rest
There is no telling how large the labor force is. It is not easy to build a castle with such a population, but no matter how difficult it is, it still needs to be built. Once completed, it will bring an unprecedented improvement to the daily life and safety of the tribe.
improve
There was no other way, Hua Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet, and even if Foolish Old Man moved mountains, it would eventually be built. The first step was to build the city wall with natural stones. Under the call of Hua Xi, whose prestige had reached its peak, all the tribesmen jumped into this hot construction boom.
In the previous events and days, the tribesmen have fully realized its importance. This time the patriarch said that after the construction of this Chinese city, the lives of all tribesmen will geometrically double. How can this not be allowed?
People look forward to it eagerly and their blood is boiling?
Wood, sand and stones were soon continuously sent to the new site for the construction of the city wall. Hua Xi decided to use two rows of thick wooden piles two meters apart and connect them section by section. The bottom of the wooden piles would be charred and carbonized with fire and then driven into a deep pit.
The spaces between the wooden piles are filled with sand, gravel and clay. After a section of wooden piles is laid, the same wall is built on the original wooden piles. In this way, the difficulty of construction is greatly reduced. The bonding material between the sand, gravel and earth wood is greatly reduced.
, although there is no lime cement and other things, Hua Xi has no worries at all. Clay and yellow mud are excellent building materials. Human beings have used these as bonding materials for thousands of years, and I have never heard of them being bad.
The city wall's thickness of more than two meters is enough to give it absolute stability. After the sand, stone and wood are combined with the moist yellow clay, the mutual attraction and suppression force are further enhanced. After a section of the city wall is built, Hua Xi
Order people to pour yellow mud all the way down from the top of the wall, and then use fire to dry it. Such a city wall is absolutely stable in the era of cold weapons and can withstand any attack except large siege equipment such as catapults.
Originally, Hua Xi burned bricks to make building materials, but at present, whether it is in terms of manpower, time or the exchange of pottery required, it is extremely difficult. The city wall is enough. Later, when the population increases, it can be upgraded and expanded. After all, it was the Stone Age.
The biggest enemy is natural disasters, not man-made disasters
Sections of civil structure walls were gradually connected, and the walls of China City were lengthened and taller day by day. It felt like watching her own children grow up day by day. Needless to say, Hua Xi felt happy in her heart.
After personally supervising the completion of the first section of the city wall, which is more than two meters wide and 5 meters high, he no longer needs to worry about the remaining details of the city wall. He can completely let go and let Hua An be responsible for supervising the work. If there are any problems, come back to him.
Hua Xi, who had nothing to do, often went to the farmland to see the rice that was growing well. The blueprint for a better life in the future had already been vividly in his mind. At the time when the Youshui Tribe was investing in the construction boom, the Youshui Tribe also ushered in the history of the tribe.
The largest diplomatic team since
Keni, Suihuo, and Wuniao, three tribes close to the Shui Tribe, successively sent over the exchanged salt and people. The number of people in the team was very large. In order to prevent attacks from other tribes or beasts, the tribe leaders brought a large number of themselves.
The warriors of the tribe came under escort. The village was suddenly overcrowded. There was no other way. Apart from putting the exchanged items inside and outside the house, everyone else had to stay outside the village.
After the Suihuo Clan and the Blackbird Clan witnessed the Shui Tribe defeating the coalition forces of the Kobold Clan and the White Wolf Clan last time, they admired this rumored clan of gods and their confidence in exchanging items was greatly enhanced. They were originally afraid.
The other party won't give food after receiving the items, but since they are a family of gods, there is no need to doubt their credibility.
Therefore, the exchange process went very smoothly. According to the original verbal agreement, the Keni people exchanged 100 barrels of salt for 35 barrels of food, which was converted into 10 pigs due to convenience; the 30 people of the Suihuo clan received 10 goats and 30 goats.
The 80 people of the pig blackbird clan can be exchanged for 20 goats and 80 pigs.
When the people of the Suihuo Clan and the Black Bird Clan got the more than a hundred 'food', their eyes were as wide as copper bells, and their hearts beat faster. It was simply unthinkable for them to get so many prey at once.
, let alone meeting each other, my good impression of You Shui Tribe has skyrocketed to an unprecedented height.
When the people of the Keni tribe saw it, they were also very jealous. Some of them complained about why the tribe leader didn't use people in exchange for food. The three tribe leaders were almost going crazy after being teased by the mooing beasts in front of them. They all asked Hua Xi
Do they want more people? They can provide more people in exchange for food.
Hua Xi didn't want to laugh and said: "Haha, of course, our tribe's food and pottery will be open to you. As long as you have enough people and items that we don't have, you can exchange them."
Hua An on the side quickly moved to Hua Xi's ear and whispered: "Chief, after our tribe exchanged this batch of livestock, there are not many left. Except for the domesticated livestock, almost all the ones that were just caught were exchanged."
I'm afraid if I change it again..."
Hua Xi nodded, but did not express anything. He just smiled and looked at the group of people in front of him who were all thinking about food. Hua Xi's answer made the group of people obviously relieved, and greedy looks appeared on their faces.
After saying that they would continue to exchange people for food, they said goodbye and left. From the speed of their departure, it can be seen that they want to get ahead of others and exchange all the young and middle-aged people in the tribe who can be exchanged. Anyway, it will be warm until next year.
When you open it, you can get it back. Not only will you not lose money, but you will also make a lot of money. The food for the tribesmen exchanged will be provided by the Water Tribe. Haha, that’s great.
When they beat Xiao Jiujiu, they didn't know that they had already fallen into the trap set by Hua Xi. They were afraid that they would not even be able to cry in the future. Originally, Hua Xi planned to pay the exchanged food in installments, but in
After seeing the other party's fanatical eyes, he decided to take a risk and at the same time, he could also erect a good image.
Prestige, this thing is the most precious thing in any era. It can make you respond to everything at once and help you easily accomplish things that ordinary people cannot accomplish.
