Chapter 156 Building a house and building a wall
After all the prisoners were washed and put on bark clothes, they were driven together. Chen Bei stood in front of these prisoners and felt a sense of pride.
These are all labor force. The Mang tribe is not short of food now, but labor force. This thousand labor force can make great contributions to the development of the Mang tribe.
If there are many people and great power, it is the truth in this era.
"I don't care what you are like in the original tribe. In our mud tribe, unless you go out, you can take a bath at least once every two days."
"If there is anyone you don't want to wash, it's like today. I'll send a totem warrior to brush it for you!"
When the prisoners heard that they wanted to brush, they shivered. The totem warriors just now were not gentle at all, and they wanted to brush off all their skin.
After being brushed by them, the skin is still red and there are still marks on it.
Therefore, in order not to bother the totem warriors, these prisoners kept Chen Bei's words in their hearts, and no one wanted to repeat the experience just now.
"The second thing is that since you have worn the clothes of the Mang Tribe and eaten the Mang Tribe, you have to work for the Mang Tribe. From today on, everyone has to work. If you are lazy, hehe..."
Chen Bei didn't say what the result of being lazy, but his sneer made the prisoners tremble again, and they regarded the heaviest punishment they could think of as the punishment for being lazy.
"Mountain patterns and red flowers, I will give you one hundred totem warriors each of you, and take these prisoners to build a wooden house. There is only one, and it must be spacious and strong."
The existing houses of the Mang tribe cannot accommodate so many people, so they can only build them themselves. With so many labor, why not make good use of them?
"yes!"
Shanwen and Honghua immediately found someone and then took the prisoners to build a wooden house.
Unconsciously, the status of mountain patterns and red flowers gradually improved in the Mang tribe. Of course, this is also related to their abilities, and no one can say anything.
Chen Bei said to Yun Helie again: "You continue to hunt and fish. Now there are more people in the tribe and consume a lot of food. It is not enough to rely on the food stored in the tribe."
"yes!"
Yun and Lie went back and started working with the hunting team and the fishing team, providing the Mang tribe with a steady stream of meat.
Soon, the entire Mang tribe started to operate with all its strength, and everyone performed their own duties and continuously provided the tribe with all the things they needed.
A large number of wooden houses were built in the southeast corner of the tribe because there were large areas of flat wasteland.
These wastelands are many stones and are not suitable for arable land, but building a house is very suitable.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
The ground was cleaned up one by one, and then the trenches were dug, the pillars were buried and the columns were smashed.
These pillars are very thick, and the one that is most lacking near the Mang tribe is wood, so you don’t have to worry about the material selection at all.
"Chief, why did you burn the undersides of these pillars?"
At Chenbei's instructions, Shanwen set up a fire, and then burned all the pillars and parts that were to be buried underneath, first burned the surface of the surface with a torch into black charcoal.
Chenbeidao: "After burning, it is not easy to rot or insects when buried underground. The wooden houses built are more durable."
"So that's how it is."
Shan Wen suddenly realized and admired Chen Bei very much.
He is worthy of being the leader and knows everything.
Shanwen no longer asked more. What Chenbei said, he would lead people to do. The pillars were raised one by one, and then he invited carpenters from the tribe to connect the pillars together with beams to form the skeleton of a house.
As the saying goes, there are many people and great power. With the efforts of more than a thousand people, a large row of skeletons of houses were built in just one day. The speed is so fast that it is amazing.
At night, the prisoners spent the night in the newly built house, lit a bonfire and laid hay in their sleeping places.
"It's time to eat!"
The women of the Mang tribe came here with a large amount of food, and as before, they also gave these prisoners bamboo bowls and bamboo chopsticks.
Because there are many people and the food is not very good, a large part of it is wild vegetables, but no one is picky about these prisoners. Apart from the a little painful use of chopsticks, they are still satisfied with the amount of food.
As a prisoner, being able to eat enough to keep people from starving is the best treatment. What kind of taste is the luxury?
After dinner, many prisoners fell asleep lying on the hay. After working hard for a day, the physical strength of these prisoners was exhausted.
That night, many prisoners dreamed of the tribes of the past, dreamed of all kinds of fear, and rarely had beautiful dreams.
The next morning, the work of building a house began again. Under the division of labor in Chenbei, some people were responsible for cutting trees, some were responsible for peeling the bark, and some were responsible for digging pits and erecting pillars...
Everyone performs their own duties, and their efficiency is much better than everyone's messy things and doing everything.
After all, if you do anything, it is very likely that you can't do anything well, but if you do it specifically, you only need to do this thing well, so you will naturally do it better.
The work of building a wooden house lasted for seven or eight days. With more than a thousand people, more than 100 spacious and sturdy wooden houses were finally built.
These wooden houses are made of large logs as pillars, and small logs are put together to make walls, and the tops are covered with bark and tied hay.
Although it is very rough, it is better to be strong. Anyway, the prisoners are very satisfied, which is better than where they lived in the former tribe.
The Mang tribe divided a hundred totem warriors and also focused on these prisoners to prevent anyone from causing trouble or running away.
After building the house, it is time to build a wall.
The Mang tribe has been attacked twice by other tribes, and each time it will suffer some losses. If a high wall blocks it, the Mang tribe will have a barrier and can suffer much less losses.
This wall must be very high and thick, and it is best to be built into a city wall, which will make the defense much higher.
However, with the current conditions of the Mang tribe, it is really difficult to build a city wall. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a city wall that encloses the entire Mang tribe.
Therefore, Chenbei can only build a thick, simple and high wall at present to surround important positions of the tribe, which is conducive to defense and not let people break into the tribe in a flat manner.
Chenbei summoned important figures from the Mang tribe to discuss how to build a city wall.
"I think this is what I think. We use stones to build a high wall. Every small distance there is a hole in the wall that can be used to shoot arrows or stabbed the enemy climbing the wall with a spear."
Yun and others look at me, and I look at you, no one can give any advice. After all, no one has seen such things as building walls and surrounding tribes. Other tribes use wood to build a simple fence.
Chen Bei also said: "We can mix stones and soil into walls, just like building stone houses. No matter what shape of stones, they can be piled up and filled with mud in the gaps."
"The soil used for building walls is the same as making mud bricks. Add a lot of grass chips to the mud and reconcile them. The wall built in this way should be stronger."
