Of course, to be on the safe side, the city wall still had to be built.

In any case, it is safer to hide in the city and guard the commander in chief to fight with people in the wild.

At this moment, the ten large brick kilns in the Black Stone Department have already started producing pottery bricks. It is not a problem to produce tens of thousands of pottery bricks every day. It is time to consider the issue of building a city.

Zhao Hao silently observed around the Heishibu for a few days, and then went to Cangwu, and stood with him on the mountain in front of his tree house, looking at the messy thatched huts and tree houses around him, and said earnestly: "Chief Cangwu, the clansmen of your Heishi tribe live so scatteredly, it will be very troublesome to build the city wall."

Cangwu couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words: "Well, I've considered this too, otherwise, I'll let them all crowd around here, so that we can build less city walls."

Zhao Hao shook his head slowly and said: "This is still not enough, the area is still a bit large, and the place where you live now is intertwined with mountains and valleys, which is extremely unsuitable for building a city wall."

Hearing this, Cangwu couldn't help saying anxiously: "Ah, what should I do then?"

Zhao Hao raised his hand, pointed to an independent mountain not far away and said wisely: "It's very good there, the valley where the brick kiln is located is much closer than the place where you live together now, I went up to see it, and there are still mountains on the mountain. As for the stream, you don’t have to worry about the source of the water. Moreover, the range of that mountain is large enough to accommodate everyone in your Black Rock Department. Why don’t we build a city there and call it Yanshi City. People from your Black Rock Department can all move to the city, and people from our Salt Department can also come to the city from time to time for repairs."

Build a city?

Return to Salt Rock City?

What is the city?

Cangwu couldn't help being puzzled when he heard the words, he thought about it carefully, and he couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment on his face again.

Although that mountain is not very far from the Heishi Department, there are thousands of people from the Heishi Department who have all moved there, and after the city wall is built, the huts and tree houses have to be rebuilt. How much effort will it take!

These days, if you talk about hunting and getting food, everyone will be full of energy. If you talk about moving, few people are willing, because it is too troublesome.

He thought for a while with a face full of embarrassment, and then said carefully: "Why don't we just make do with building the city wall here, I'm afraid everyone won't want to move it!"

Don't want to move?

This issue should be carefully considered.

His idea of ​​building a city was originally a good thing. If everyone is unwilling, he will force everyone to move, and he will be a villain in vain, which will be very detrimental to his future plans.

So, what should we do? How can we make people from the Black Stone Department willingly move to Yanshi City?

Early the next morning, he took Cangwu to the brick kiln again, and asked Cangwu to gather a group of veterans. Then, in front of everyone, he cut a mold with a big wooden stake.

This mold is composed of two parts, the inside and the outside. The inside is a cylinder with three finger-thick protrusions, and the outside is two semi-arc-shaped assembly blocks. When these two semi-arc-shaped assembly blocks are closed, it can Combine with the middle cylinder into a larger cylinder, and there is only a gap of three finger thickness between the three.

After the mold was finished, he demonstrated it himself again. First, the surface of the mold was smeared with fine sand, and then the middle cylinder was directly pasted with clay, and then the two semicircular arcs on the outside were pressed into the middle, and then Scrape off the excess soil at both ends, and then carefully remove the middle column and the two side columns. Then there are three arc-shaped pieces about finger thick, about the width and height of the palm standing on the ground. There.

His miraculous operation made everyone puzzled. Everyone knows that the reason why he cut out that strange mold is to make this kind of arc-shaped pieces. The question is, what is the purpose of this piece? use it?

Zhao Hao still followed the old rules and did not give any explanation.

He just kept using the mold to press the tablets, and they were all over the floor, there were thousands of them. Then he stopped, and said to Cang Wu and the others: "Everyone understands, let's do this." , Let’s put it in the sun once it’s done, and then put it in the brick kiln to burn overnight, try to make as much as possible, I’ll use it the day after tomorrow.”

After finishing speaking, he left everyone and walked straight to the big tree house where the iron was made, leaving only Cangwu with a confused face and a group of veterans staring at the tiles in a daze.

That's right, what he makes are tiles, tiles for building brick houses.

Of course, to build a house of bricks and tiles, it is not enough just to have tiles, but also to have nails.

After he came to the tree house where the iron was made, he found a finger-thick Zhe wood branch and sharpened the front end, and then asked Ah Hua and the others to take a square clay block specially used for clay molds, and then used the pointed end Zhe wood sticks poked a bunch of holes with small dimples on the clay block, and then put the clay block next to the furnace and roasted it until the clay block was almost dry. above.

This time, he didn't have the patience to wait for the molten iron to cool naturally. He just poured a clay pot of water on top of the clay mold, and then used clamps to clamp out the iron bumps roughly shaped like nails, and put them on the furnace fire. After roasting for a while, they were picked up and hammered quickly. Not long after, a bunch of nails with a slightly square front end appeared in the thick clay pot filled with stream water.

Ah Hua and the others were equally confused, because they didn't understand what this small, pointy thing was for!

Zhao Hao didn't give any explanation. After all the nails were forged, he took a wooden stick with thick and short arms, and then directly pulled out the magic weapon, split the stick in half with a single knife, and then closed the two halves again and placed them on the ground. , Then took two more nails, swung the sledgehammer directly, and "ding ding ding" just a few times, directly knocked the two nails into the wooden stick that was split in half.

After knocking it, he picked up the wooden stick, broke it slightly, and then put it in Ashan's hand, and said with a little pride: "Try and see if you can break it."

Ah Shan probably understood that this thin, pointy thing was used to join two pieces of wood together. He took the wooden stick in his hand and broke it hard, but it didn't break!

This is not to say that he is not strong enough, the main wooden stick is round, so it is not easy to use force, if two wooden squares are nailed together, it is estimated that he can break it apart even with a few more nails.

However, these are not important, the important thing is, what is the purpose of splitting the stick and putting it back together again?

He really couldn't figure it out. You said that you split the wooden stick and used it as firewood to burn it, but it was better to burn it. You spent so much effort to create a thin, pointed thing, and put it together. What's the use?

Zhao Hao didn't know that he had made a wrong demonstration, which made people inexplicably angry.

He only knows that the nail can be used after doing this. Although it is a one-time thing, it cannot be taken out after being nailed in, but there is finally a nail, right?

Next, he can use this thing to build a house.

Chapter 93 Building a City

Zhao Hao wants to build a city, a city that can withstand the crazy revenge of the Xueman tribe, and a city that can give the people of the Yanbu and Heishi tribes a sense of security.

However, there is no such thing as a city at the moment, and judging from Cangwu's performance, it seems that the Heishi tribe is not keen on building a city, because none of the Heishi tribe wants to move.

What about moving?

Some people will move with a sad face, while others will move with joy.

This, mainly depends on where you want to move to.

If the place to move to is the same as before, or even worse than before, then it would be a waste of effort, making yourself guilty, and the person who moved would naturally have a sad face.

If the place to move to is much better than the original place, for example, from an old shantytown to a high-end commercial housing, or from a broken hut to a brand new brick house, the people who move will naturally be happy .

In order to allow the tribesmen of the Blackstone tribe to happily move to the place he chose and build a city with him, Zhao Hao decided to build a beautiful brick house first, and let the tribesmen of the Blackstone tribe see that they are about to move. What a great place to go.

At this time, building a house does not require too many people, because Zhao Hao does not need to build a high-rise building, he only needs to build a brick house that is slightly larger than a thatched house or a tree house.

After he made samples of tiles and nails, he asked Cangwu to recruit more than a dozen young men with hoes, and followed him to the mountainside of the big mountain.

This mountain is much higher than the mountains where the Heishibu now live. Standing halfway up the mountain, it is almost on the same level as the mountain where Cangwu lives. Perhaps this is the reason why the Heishibu did not come to live here. Although there is a stream here, the mountain is too high, and it takes a lot of effort to climb up.

Zhao Hao didn't care about these, he directly found a large open space halfway up the mountain, and then directed more than a dozen young men to remove weeds, hoe the ground, and then roughly drew a square on the ground with branches. A square of about [-] square meters, and then let the young and strong dig out a shallow pit about knee deep according to the marked line.

This is the foundation of the house. The brick and tile house is still a bit heavy, but you dare not build it directly on the soft ground. You need to dig a foundation and fill the foundation with stones to increase the load-bearing area. Otherwise, the house will be built If it is built, it may fall down.

Cangwu and the others didn't know what Zhao Hao was going to do, but digging a shallow pit and filling it with some rocks was nothing, and more than a dozen young and strong people quickly finished their work.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao asked them to bring a large pile of bricks and a small pile of clay.

He took some stream water, stirred the clay, and began to build the wall.

However, after building two layers, he felt that it was too troublesome to paste the clay by hand, so he asked someone to find a shovel, and directly removed the wooden handle at the back, and used it as a knife for the time being. up.

He used a criss-cross method of building walls, that is, two bricks were placed horizontally, then two bricks were placed vertically, and then two bricks were placed horizontally. One brick, then two bricks vertically, and so on, the wall built in this way is much stronger than all horizontal or vertical.
