I'm doing infrastructure in ancient times

The sudden attack of the Jiuli tribe on the exiles can be regarded as a buffer period for themselves. As long as the defense project is completed during this period of time, then Jiuli will be able to gain a firm foothold in the north in the future, at least not afraid of being attacked. People come to harass at will.

After the winter snow melted, early spring gradually arrived, and everyone in the Jiuli tribe got busy.

Cheng Yang used the loom to prepare for the cashmere in early spring. There are still a lot of goats in the tribe. After a while, they will probably moult, and Cheng Yang is eyeing these goats. of wool.

But now Cheng Yang has discovered a new problem. Those that are replaced are raw cashmere, which can only be used after some cleaning. The key is that raw cashmere is such a small thing. Washing in the river water.

After much deliberation, he still needs cloth, at least he must have a cloth bag.

Cheng Yang missed the padded jacket in the deep winter before, but he didn't have cotton, so he couldn't develop and utilize it. Now he can't change it in a short time, but this is just a cloth bag, and it is not used to keep out the cold. Although he can't find cotton, he can There are also other things that can be substituted.

There is a lot of flax planted near the tribe, otherwise he could not successfully make hemp rope before, but now he can also use the flax to make a sack, but it can be used to hold cashmere.

Cheng Yang was glad that he had prepared a batch of flax. After all, their growing season is in July and August. If they didn't prepare in advance, where can they find flax now.

"Chengyang, what are these, why are they in a bunch..."

"Hey, be careful, don't break it!"

Cheng Yang watched the woman in front of him reach out to pick up a hemp ball from the pottery basin, and hooked his fingers around the fibers in it. He jumped up and down in shock, and immediately rushed to the woman to take the hemp ball from her hand.

"There are not many of these hemp balls left. If you break them, where can I find them?"

"This...is this ramie?"

Gu Gu was a little uncertain, she felt that those balls looked like the ramie after it was torn apart, especially now that they were soaked in water and soaked, they looked even more obvious.

But how did Ramie make it like this, Gu Gu suspected that she had made a mistake.

"Yes, it is indeed ramie!"

Although Cheng Yang was able to get the textile machine out, he still didn't know much about textiles. Of course, if he was willing to spend a while thinking about it, it's not impossible, but since there are ready-made shortcuts in front of him, why should he choose Choose a detour.

Before that, Auntie took away an identical loom from her tribe, and even wove a decent piece of silk cloth, which Cheng Yang had to admire. It seems that women do have outstanding talents in handicrafts.

Otherwise, why didn't the first piece of cloth in the world come from the hands of men?

Since there was a ready-made teacher like Gu Gu, Cheng Yang decided to save some time and energy and ask her for advice.

"You mean to weave these into silk cloth?"

Gu Gu was tongue-tied and didn't react for a long time. How could these hemp balls be woven into silk cloth if they weren't the silk of white worms?

"Yes," Cheng Yang nodded, "but what we weave is not silk, but linen."

"Mabu?" Gu Gu thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and she nodded emphatically, "Yes, yes, it should be called Mabu!"

Silkworm cloth is woven from the white silk spit out from silk, so isn’t it sackcloth that is woven from hemp balls?

Seeing that she could understand what he was expressing, Cheng Yang breathed a sigh of relief. As for the few women standing next to Gu Gu, it doesn't matter if they don't understand, as long as they follow Gu Gu's example.

"These hemp balls can't be used directly on the textile machine yet, and need further processing. The reason why I called you here today is because of this."

In fact, it is really amazing that Gu Gu can recognize the real bodies of these hemp balls, because he has worked on them once before.He used to soak the fresh bundles of hemp and tear them into strands and put them in water to soften them, then twist them into small hemp yarns and dry them in the sun, and finally wound them into the current hemp balls.

Before these hemp threads are put on the weaving machine, it is reasonable to smear a layer of starch water, so as to make them more lubricated, and when the time comes to weave the cloth, the threads will not be broken due to jamming.

Cheng Yang told Gu Gu all the steps, and made sure that he understood everything before he dared to leave with confidence.

He still has to take care of his golden goats now. Thinking about the cold in winter, Cheng Yang tightened his neck. Almost all the goats in the north were brought by them. It is estimated that other tribes almost killed and ate them. These goats of their tribe may be the few left in this north.

Even for the sake of being able to put on woolen clothes smoothly in the future, he should treat those goats better at this moment. If the cashmere business is affected because of the loss of one, he will really be extremely annoyed.

Along the way, Cheng Yang saw several men, all wearing only a short piece of animal skin. Although it was only the beginning of spring, they didn't feel cold at all. On the contrary, these men were all sweaty. .

When they saw Cheng Yang, they didn't stop at all, let alone say hello, they drove their way without looking back, seeing that they were much faster than themselves.

"Ugh."

Cheng Yang sighed deeply, knowing that some members of the tribe were secretly annoyed at him.

With so much food in the tribe, many tribesmen want to relax, at least in spring, they can stay in tents instead of hunting.

This is something that did not happen in previous years. After all, it is not easy to store food for the whole winter. In the past, before spring, they would be forced to go into the woods to find food. And starve to death.

So now that there is food, almost everyone wants to enjoy the taste of not having to hunt, but Cheng Yang gets in the way.

When Cheng Yang mentioned that he wanted to continue the defense project, the old man had no opinion at all. As for Yan, although he didn't hear it clearly, he also knew that it was a good thing, and he really trusted Cheng Yang now. What he said, you can choose to believe almost without reason.

So this matter was settled almost without the tribe's knowledge. The men of the Jiuli tribe were still waiting to enjoy themselves in the tent when they were called out to work by Yan.

Cheng Yang decided to fire the bricks, and it was really not a difficult task for their current tribe.

There are actually two kinds of bricks, one is red bricks and the other is blue bricks. In the end, Cheng Yang considered all aspects and decided to choose to burn blue bricks, although it is more difficult.

Compared with red bricks, the raw material of blue bricks is only clay, which is the most indispensable thing in the north. Moreover, blue bricks are also more durable than red bricks, with better durability and water resistance. Cheng Yang feels that if this kind of bricks are used to build Cheng Yang is naturally much stronger than Red Brick.

Yes, Cheng Yang finally decided to build city walls instead of earth buildings.

Although the city wall is much more difficult than the earth building, it is also much more effective. As long as it is built this time, it will save a lot of trouble in the future. The north actually has many limitations.

Now that Cheng Yang has made a decision, it is natural that the sooner the work starts, the better. The Jiuli tribe members who were caught off guard were thus pulled outside the tribe to work as construction workers. At this stage, they are still working day and night. The tamping of the earth at night made the clay stronger with great effort. In the purely artificial situation, this is really hard work.

Seeing Cheng Yang, who has turned his beautiful vacation into what it is now, how can he have a good face? If it weren't for his young age, these guys would drag him to the training ground and be beaten by his clansmen one by one. Take turns heads-up.

However, Cheng Yang didn't mind the attitude of the clansmen at all. Even if there was idle food in the tribe, the clansmen couldn't relax because of it. If they wanted to survive in this dense forest, strength was the ultimate king.

If by the time this batch of food is finished, all the clansmen have abandoned their skills and lost their previous hunting skills, then he is really in a hurry.

What's more, after the city wall is repaired, we can build strong brick houses that are windproof and rainproof for the tribesmen. I don't believe this group of people will not be happy.

We'll see if they're still mad at him then.

The author has something to say: I checked the information about ramie and blue bricks and red bricks on the Internet. The little red flower is gone, lost~

I almost forgot to thank the little cutie who mentioned the method of making clay bricks in the comment area. Thank you very much for your interaction. If you have any ideas, you can mention them. If you can, I will also arrange them
