Great Song Pirate

Chapter 205 Building a Village (To)

Although Dulong Island used to do a lot of construction and other things, it was the first time for Xu Yi to build a brand new village like this, so the building of the village did not go well. These people are basically big bosses, It's okay to obey the assignment, but if they are asked to plan a Dazhai, they really think highly of them. Even Xu Yi himself is too busy to find the north.

Seeing the messy work of the people, but unable to get any clues, Xu Yi asked the people to put down what they were doing first, and climbed to a high place by himself, overlooking the enclosed wall from a high position, and carefully summed up.

At this time, Li Bo came out of the stockade with a craftsman, and found Xu Yi: "Master Chang, this is Master Chang from our island. He has something to discuss with you!"

"Chang Le sees the master!" The craftsman surnamed Gao stepped in and saluted Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was looking at the stockade with a headache. Hearing Li Boyi's words, he turned his head to look at Master Chang. This man was tall, but very thin. His hands were covered with calluses. He looked like a veteran carpenter. Xu Yi has seen Chang Le before, he is an old man on the island, he is very good at carpentry, especially in building houses, many houses on the island are built by him, they are durable and Comfortable, so he said politely: "You don't need to be too polite, is Master Chang Le looking for me for something?"

"Master, I usually don't have any other skills. I used to build many big houses with my master, and I'm familiar with this village building. I've been doing this job for two or three days. It's not an option to go on like this, it's too messy Don't be angry if I keep talking like this, we won't be able to build a decent village in a few more months, Chang is not talented, let me take charge of building the village this time as an early bird, I don’t know if the head of the family is willing?” Chang Le spoke very straightforwardly, pointing out the shortcomings of Xu Yi and the others.

Xu Yi felt that his old face was hot. Chang Le was right. He had no experience in building a village. In the past, it was ready-made on Dulong Island, and many places were expanded at random. There was no decent plan. Now, build one suddenly It’s no wonder that the brand-new village is not in chaos. As for whether Chang Le’s words sound good or not, he doesn’t care. Hearing what he said, he knew that he must have this ability, so he quickly laughed and said, “I’m having a headache because of this. Well! Speaking of which, we have a lot of people, but there are really not many people who are proficient in this kind of thing. Since you always recommend yourself, you must be able to do it. We eat by our ability on the island. As long as you think you can, Just do it well, we will listen to you!"

This Chang Le was overjoyed to hear that, this Master Xu really has a big heart. I was a little worried that Xu Yi would look down on him this time, but I didn't expect Xu Yi to agree to his request so readily, so I quickly bowed to salute Said: "Chang Le, thank you for your trust, I will never disappoint the expectations of the master, please rest assured!"

So this headache that caused Xu Yi was solved so easily. Under Xu Yi's instructions, all the matters of building the village were handed over to Chang Le, except for those capable men who were picked out to be responsible for patrolling the surrounding area. Besides, everyone obeyed Chang Le's arrangement. This Chang Le really had some skills, and soon made a model of the village according to Xu Yi's idea, and invited Xu Yi and others to watch.

As soon as Xu Yi saw the model of the village, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded. Chang Le introduced his planning plan. This model very intuitively outlined the whole village. Although it was a bit rough, it could still make people understand him immediately. According to the arrangement, the stockade was divided into nine blocks by Gao Jun according to the well. There are four streets intersecting horizontally and vertically. It is very convenient to reach the three gates and one port of the stockade; the stockade faces the wharf in the north, leaving enough open space for use as a cargo yard, and the surrounding area is mostly set up as warehouses to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods; a small stream runs through the stockade, which can be conveniently To fetch water, the east side of the stockade was designated by him as an artisan work area, which will be reserved for artisans as workshops in the future. The south side is higher and faces the island, so it is concentrated as a residential area and will be used for the island in the future. There is a large open space on the west side of the stockade, and a school is planned nearby, and a school field can be built on the open space for the training and use of the tribes on the island. The organization is very clear, and the stockade also considers the defense. The problem is that there is an archery tower every 100 meters, which can echo each other. There is a small river outside the wall on the south side of the stockade. If there is an enemy who wants to attack the stockade from the island, he must cross this small river to get close. The stockade just became the moat of the stockade. Although it is not as good as those cities on land, it is quite good in this kind of place.

Xu Yi immediately made a decision after seeing it, and built the village according to Changle's plan, saving troubles when he could, and overthrowing it. Fell down, even the bushes are not left. These felled timbers are continuously transported into the stockade and used as building materials for the stockade. People on the ground can see the situation in the distance at a glance, which is very beneficial for defense.

While Chang Le arranged for manpower to cut trees, he also arranged for manpower to dig drainage ditches in the village, because Xu Yi told him that Liuqiu Island is rainy and rainy in summer and autumn. It became a swamp, so the first thing he did was to arrange the excavation of these drainage ditches. The excavated earthwork was paved on the reserved road and compacted with stones, which also facilitated the transportation of various materials.

While arranging manpower to do these things, Chang Le also asked the accompanying carpenters to use local materials to build some large carts to provide tools for the transportation of goods in the village, leaving a lot of manpower. The problem is just now There is a serious shortage of livestock such as cattle and horses on the island. It seems that some mules and horses will be brought in in the future, and I have written down this matter.

Under the auspices of Chang Le, the wall that had been set up was expanded again. The south side was stretched to the side of the small river, and then a suspension bridge was set up to facilitate the exit of personnel and materials. As for the internal facilities of the village, the barracks were the first to start construction. For residential houses, it is the best policy to place people in the houses first, otherwise, in this humid and rainy environment, it may cause diseases to look at the people, and this is the top priority.

As for building a house, since I first arrived here, the environment is not very familiar, and there are many snakes and insects here. There have been many incidents of people being bitten by snakes and insects. Many snakes and insects have also been found in the tent, which is very harmful to the safety of personnel. It poses a considerable threat. If you build a house on the spot, it is inevitable that such things will happen frequently in the future. Thinking that there are poisonous snakes and insects hidden in some places in the house, it makes people feel shuddering. Yi thought of the high-storied buildings built by the ethnic minorities in the south, and told Gao Jun about the idea, and then he solved the problem. All the houses use logs as pillars, and sulfur is sprinkled under the wooden pillars. The floor of the house is seven feet above the ground. As mentioned above, it will not be so convenient for snakes and insects to enter the house again, and the room can be kept dry, killing two birds with one stone, so Gao Junhao praised Xu Yi a lot, saying that he is so talented, and made Xu Yi sweat profusely , How could this be his invention? They were all things that he had seen on TV before, and they were all his creations here. It really made him a little ashamed. Yi has more or less practiced the invincible cheeky skill, which can withstand their flattery.

When the new houses were built one by one, it gave people a fresh feeling, quite exotic, so people happily moved into the new houses in batches, and they no longer had to worry about living in the same room with snakes and insects every day.

Another problem is that after landing on the island, many people were a little bit dissatisfied, and they began to vomit and diarrhea after a few days. For a while, some people's hearts fluttered, which made Xu Yi very nervous. If there is a plague, then his efforts this time will be in vain, and the ship only brought the half-baked doctor here this time, and the doctor Yang stayed on Dulong Island, and the half-baked doctor was too busy to do it alone. Xu Yi was so anxious, and then he suddenly thought of a solution, which is to order all personnel to strictly prohibit drinking raw water, and must drink boiled water and put tea leaves in it, so as to effectively reduce the occurrence of dysentery and diarrhea At the same time, all personnel were strictly prohibited from urinating and defecating anywhere, and the feces should be disposed of intensively and disinfected with the lime brought along with the ship. After a few days, the development of this momentum was finally curbed, and most of the people recovered. Xu Yi They let out a long breath, and the panic on the island was suppressed, and no one wanted to leave anymore.

In less than a month, under the leadership of Chang Le, the chicken cage village has begun to take shape with the joint efforts of 2000 people, which reassures Xu Yi a lot. This chicken cage village is just the beginning. Starting from here, gradually spread the power to other places on the island. Although he has not met anyone so far, Xu Yi can be sure that there must be humans on the island, but they have not met them yet. Stand firm, I am afraid there is still a long way to go in the future.
