The early summer morning air is cool.

The wide river is filled with a layer of white vapor like a thin veil, and aquatic plants such as reeds and calamus become much more mysterious when they wear a beautiful white veil.

The morning breeze blew gently, the waves on the river were sparkling, and the small waves of water were gently lapping towards the shore one after another, and the river water poured into the holes made by the fish, shrimp and eels on the shore and flowed out again, making a strange sound.

The sound of the conversation came from a distance, and it drew nearer, and some of the birds, which were waiting for food on the banks of the great river or in the shallow waters, were frightened, and looked for a while at the source of the sound, and at last they spread their wings and flew away, and went elsewhere to be quiet birds.

Not long after the birds flew away, a group of people appeared on the edge of the river.

The man in front carried a large, untidy bamboo raft at the edges.

Once at the river, the men appeared to be skilled in lowering the raft and pushing it into the water.

There is not one, but as many as five or six.

So after the seven or eight bamboo rafts were pushed into the water, the relatively flat inlet on the edge of the river was suddenly covered by a bamboo raft.

Then someone came to the raft that was put into the water and fixed to the shore, and put a few thick wooden sticks on the raft vertically, and there was an even gap between the sticks.

After doing this, some people began to load the rafts with the cloth they had brought.

The sackcloth was placed horizontally on top of several sticks so that it would not get wet with water splashing through the gaps in the raft.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a large, round red sun rose slowly and rapidly from the northeast direction, leaping into the sky.

As the color of the sun above the sky faded from blood red to blood-red, the sky gradually brightened, and the morning mist drifting on the river faded and finally dissipated into nothingness.

And the people who were busy on the shore also packed their things.

After a quick and easy farewell, the people on the shore removed the rope from the head of the raft that was attached to the stake on the shore.

The man standing on the bamboo raft shouted a trumpet and moved the boat penny in his hand to the shore, and the bamboo raft left the river bank and headed towards the center of the river.

After a certain distance from the center of the river, it turns around and heads upstream of the river.

The sun fell on the water, creating a dazzling sparkling wave.

The leader of the Fire Tribe led the people of the tribe to stand on the shore and watch the bamboo raft team that was connecting in a line in the sparkling river, and was traveling farther and farther, in addition to faint worries, more than full of expectations.

It was hoped that these departed people would exchange the linen cloth loaded on the raft for delicious salt, clothes made of soft fur, and yellow millet that was boiled in a clay pot with water and extremely delicious......

Thinking of these things, the leader of the Fire Tribe couldn't help but think of the tribe that lived in the upper reaches of the river, and was exceptionally rich, powerful, and kind, and remembered the beautiful changes that had taken place in his own tribe since he met them.

Except for the extra children born to the women of the tribe in the first year of the tribe, the changes in all other aspects are also particularly gratifying.

Among them, the leader of the Fire Tribe and the people were most pleased with the hemp and sackcloth in the tribe.

Because of the appearance of hemp and linen, they can still get food for the tribe when the snow falls, instead of hiding in the cave once winter comes, as before, relying on the food stored before.

Now, in the winter, they can spin the twine into twine in the cave, and then weave the twine into linen.

At this time, some more people will be sent to carry the sackcloth on a raft to the rich and friendly tribe, and exchange the sackcloth for a lot of good things.

My own tribe really has to thank the rich tribe, it is precisely because of their appearance that the life of my tribe will become much better than before......

After standing here and watching the people rowing the raft go away and disappear at a bend in the upper reaches of the river, the leader of the Fire Tribe stood here for a while, and then led the rest of the people who had come to help carry the things and see them off by the way, all the way to the tribe.

Near the cave, patches of green hemp grew, about the level of a person's waist.

Looking at this piece of green hemp, all the people of the Fire Tribe, including the leader of the Fire Tribe, showed a happy expression.

When walking from the edge of these hemp fields, he was even more cautious, for fear that he would accidentally step on the hemp seedlings......

At the same time, the Qingque tribe is also carrying out a small-scale farewell here.

The scale of this farewell is indeed not large, because there are only eight people who are sent, and only five or seven people are sent off.

"What I say to Senior Brother Sha, you must say ...... to him"

Han Cheng looked at the eight clansmen who were about to return to the Tongshan Residential Area, and exhorted in a loud voice.

After several people nodded their heads one after another, they began to set off towards the Tongshan residential area.

Looking at these eight people who turned back three times and gradually disappeared from view, Han Cheng didn't feel much reluctance to part, because he had already experienced a lot of separation on this scale.

Not only was there not much reluctance, on the contrary, Han Cheng was still a little happy in his heart.

These joys come from the development of the tribe and the growth of the tribesmen.

After nearly ten years, Han Cheng already has a deep and deep affection for the Qingque Tribe, after all, this is gradually developed under his single-handedness.

There is less hustle and bustle here, there is no intrigue, there are people who work hard in one place, use their strength in one place, and appear to be extraordinarily united.

There are witches who are 'not ashamed and ashamed to be old and disrespectful', there are beautiful and good-looking children who are far from being made out of makeup and beauty plus p pictures, and there are naughty bear children in their own families......

I've put down roots here......

It is precisely because of this that when he sees something beneficial to the tribe happening, Han Cheng will be so happy, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha of no less than five hundred catties.

Standing here for a while, since Bai Xuemei was pregnant with her second child, she also knew that it was because of excitement or some other indescribable reason, Han Cheng, who seemed to be in good spirits, returned to the tribe with the same good mood.

Some of the women in the tribe are peeling off the cocoon there, and Bai Xuemei, who is the best craft, is of course among them.

Han Cheng went over, pulled Bai Xuemei and let her rest for a while, and after making daily instructions, he came to the edge of the hammock woven with thick hemp rope and tied between two trees, ignored the little pea's protest, picked it up from the hammock, and then lay down on it.

As for the barefoot little pea, it was put on his belly by Han Cheng.

Little Pea, who was still a little reluctant, suddenly became happy, and sat on the soft leather sofa called the 'Father Brand' and closed her mouth happily.

Sitting on the leather sofa, the little pea was leather, holding a long, slender stick in his hand, lying there clumsily, poking the ant's nest under the tree.

After stabbing in this way for a while, there was gradually no movement, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground.

Han Cheng quietly looked up and saw that the little guy was already asleep.

Last night, Han Cheng told the little pea the story of the crow drinking water, and the little guy fell asleep in the middle of the night, and it is normal to be dozing like this today.

Bai Xuemei, who had been smoking there for a while, also followed Han Cheng's previous instructions and began to rest.

After looking left and right, he came to the hammock where Han Cheng was.

At this time, Han Cheng was lying on the hammock looking at the clouds in the sky, and the little pea was lying on Han Cheng's stomach, and he wanted to drool when he slept.

As Han Cheng breathed, his belly bulged and fell, and the little peas on his belly shook with him, looking like he was sleeping on a soft cradle.

Seeing this scene, Han Cheng suddenly understood why the little guy really fell asleep quickly, such a good external environment, put it on himself, he would definitely fall asleep!

Bai Xuemei, who had been walking all the way, looked at the father and son in the hammock, stood still, and after a while, a smile appeared on her face silently.

She looked at it for a while, reached out and gently touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen for a moment, and then walked lightly to the edge of the hammock.

He looked at Han Cheng twice, stretched out his hand to pick up the little pea, and prepared to put it on the kang in the house to sleep.

She was worried that Han Cheng would be uncomfortable if she slept like this for a long time.

"It's okay, let's sleep like this, you go to the kang and get a thin skin."

Han Cheng waved his hand slightly to stop Bai Xuemei's movements, and said softly.

Bai Xuemei turned and walked towards the room where they lived, and after a few moments, she came out with a soft fur in her hand.

This fur is made of several skins sewn together, which is equivalent to the existence of a small thin quilt in later generations, and it is appropriate to cover it on the body at this time.

Bai Xuemei tore off the animal skin quilt and lightly covered the little pea and Han Cheng.

Then he didn't speak, just stood here quietly, looking at Han Cheng and the sleeping little pea, and the smile on his face couldn't be erased.

After standing here for a while, Bai Xuemei continued to return to the place where the silk was drawn.

But unlike before, she had to look up at the hammock after a while......

Han Cheng was lying in the hammock, his heart was very calm, this kind of time without his mobile phone and computer, and not having to worry too much about anything was really beautiful.

Reaching out and gently pulling the thin skin quilt that slipped off the little pea, Han Cheng moved his body a few times to make himself sleep more comfortably.

In this leisurely and reassuring time, Han Cheng's thoughts became very distant while lying in the hammock.

It's a very comfortable feeling not to think about anything and let your thoughts wander aimlessly between being half awake and half asleep.

The most wandering thoughts are about the Tongshan residential area, because this is a relatively important thing that has happened in the Qingque tribe in the recent past.

It's time to start thinking about the donkey cart.

Han Cheng, who was lying on the hammock, thought in his heart after his thoughts drifted for a while.

The reason why this idea arose at this time was because he thought of the appearance of these eight people coming back with copper ingots and tin ingots on their backs, and by the way, he remembered the feeling of leading people to transport the ore back with the ore on their backs when the copper ore was discovered in Tongshan.

It's not a good job to transport things long distances on dry roads.

Until now, when the Qingque tribe transports food and copper ingots and tin ingots on a large scale from the Tongshan residential area, most of them wait until the heavy snow falls in winter, and use deer to pull the climbing plow.

Because people are more idle at this time, there are things such as climbing plows, which not only have a large amount of transportation, but also people are relatively relaxed.

However, due to seasonal restrictions, such delivery is not very convenient.

At least for all the time after the snow melted, the plow was no longer needed.

There is no way to transport between the two in such a situation, except for the hand-carried and the use of livestock for carrying them.

Such a volume of transport, of course, is far inferior to that of a climbing plow.

The solution to this dilemma is not nothing, that is, Han Cheng made donkey carts and deer carts as he wanted.

Under the premise of having a climbing plough and the technology to make wooden wheels, it is not very difficult for the Qingque tribe to make a two-wheeled donkey cart.

Because two large wooden wheels are installed under the climbing plow, which is the basic structure of the donkey cart.

The rest of the things, such as how to make the 'climbing plow' and the wooden wheel more solid, how to make the axle and wooden wheel stronger, can carry more weight, these things can be explored slowly, not too big a problem.

The real problem is not in the donkey cart and the donkey pulling it, but in the road.

Master Lu once said that when there are more people, there will be a road, and it doesn't seem to be too difficult.

It's just that at this time, the foot-walking trail is only suitable for people, and not for wider donkey carts.

If you want the donkey cart to pass, you must build a more wide, flat and solid road, otherwise, the built donkey cart will not go far and will be stuck.

Building roads is not an easy task, which only needs to look at how many manpower and material resources were used to build the road during the Qin Dynasty, how much food was consumed, and how many people died.

At that time, the Qin Dynasty built a galloping road to the whole country, which far exceeded Han Cheng's petty fighting, and the two did not seem to be comparable together.

But as long as the current manpower and material resources of the Qingque tribe and the scale of the tribe are compared with Daqin, it can be immediately concluded that this kind of road, which is similar to a small fight, will be a huge project for the current Qingque tribe.

Even compared to the expansion of the Qingque tribe two years ago, the ring of tall walls built on the periphery is not much easier.

It is precisely because of this that he has always neglected the matter of building things such as deer carts or donkey carts with wheels, and transporting between the main tribe of Qingque and the Tongshan sub-district.

Now I think about it again, and think about it deeply, in addition to the eight people who returned from Tongshan as an inducement, the most fundamental reason is that the semi-peasant tribe was laid down a year ago and a large number of people were obtained.

With these manpower, it is feasible to build a road with a distance of nearly two hundred miles between the main tribe of Qingque and the settlement area of Tongshan.

Moreover, after the construction of such a road, it can play a role not only for transporting copper ingots and grain, but also for greatly reducing the time required to travel between the two.

The distance between the main tribe of the blue finch and the living area of Tongshan has been artificially 'shortened'.

This function is even more important than transporting between two places.

Because in this way, the connection between the main tribe of the blue finch and the settlement area of Copper Mountain will become even closer.

This is not only conducive to the control and governance of the main tribe over the sub-tribes, but also in times of danger, relying on this road of communication between the two tribes, the two tribes can also support each other.

It can be said that as long as there is such a road, the relative isolation between the main tribe of Qingque and the settlement area of Tongshan will be broken, and the two tribes can be better connected, so that the entire Qingque tribe will become more united and close.

After the first emperor of the ancestral dragon unified the six countries, he paid attention to the construction of the Qin Chi Road, and most of the purpose was to firmly control the old land of the recovered six countries through such a Chi Road, and closely link the six countries with the original Qin State to become a complete country.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, and this purpose also accounted for a large part.

Han Cheng, who was lying in the hammock, slowly thought about these things, and some of the sleepiness that was still there gradually disappeared.

As a later generation, whether from history or from the era in which he lived, he can deeply understand the importance of roads or transportation.

It looks like this road has to be built!

After it was built, it was called the Bronze Expressway, which led from the Qingque tribe to the Tongshan settlement.

Well, it is indeed an exaggeration to call such a road, which is destined to be completely incomparable to the cement road that is not even comparable to the village road in later generations, and it is suspected of bragging.

But it is undeniable that such a road, in this era, does have cross-era significance, so it will be called the Bronze Highway.

Of course, the biggest reason for this is some bad taste of Han Dashenzi, a time-traveler from the afterlife, or a way to miss the life of the afterlife.

Thinking of these things, Han Cheng didn't get up directly and impatiently went to discuss with Wu and Senior Brother.

Because this is a very big matter for the Qingque Tribe, Han Cheng needs to think about it carefully, and consider all aspects as much as possible, and he can't just slap his ass and decide as soon as his brain is hot.

And at this time the little pea has not woken up, and if he gets up, he will wake up the little one.

Han Cheng thought so in his heart, lying on the hammock, and continued to ponder about the Bronze Expressway.

Compared with the leisurely and complacent not long ago, Han Cheng's state of mind at this time was no longer so peaceful.

Is this the so-called 'the sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, there are thousands of walls, and there is no desire to be rigid'?

It's a pity that Bai Xuemei's recognized this name, and it wasn't too expected, otherwise it would be very good to change the name to Yourong Mei......

Han Cheng thought like this, and gradually fell asleep later, during which Bai Xuemei came over, and saw that their father and son were sleeping sweetly, so they didn't make a sound to disturb.

Lightly pulled the thin animal skin quilt covering the two of them, sat on the side and tilted his head and looked at it with a smile on his face, and then left here lightly and continued to draw silk......

Little Pea woke up from his sleep, sat up slowly, rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands, and then reached out to wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and the whole person looked a little confused.

"Dad, Dad......"

After a while, Little Pea began to call Han Cheng, who was asleep......

Putting the little pea on the ground, Han Cheng, who got down from the hammock, stretched his waist hard, and there was a crackling sound of some bones on his body.

This kind of hammock made of thick hemp rope is okay to lie on and play on for a while, but it is not possible to sleep on it for a long time.

This is the lesson that Han Cheng, who has back pain, learned from his own experience.

Standing in place for a while, Han Cheng shook off his somewhat dizzy head, scooped out the water of the half-clay pot and washed his face, only then did he feel a lot sober.

He didn't wipe his face, just like that, with the water beads on his face, he first walked to the position between the inner and outer walls, and looked at the rabbit circle, and after not seeing the figure of Wu, Han Cheng didn't ask others, but walked straight out of the courtyard and walked towards the surrounding fields.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Han Chengcheng to see a witch squatting in a field, holding a small bronze shovel with a wooden handle to weed the grain field.

The grass was left unattended in the ground, and the grass was picked up by the witch and put together.

These can be brought back to feed the rabbits after a while.

Seeing Wu's diligence and thinking back to his behavior of sleeping in a hammock not long ago, Han Dashenzi's face was actually a little hot.

However, the fever quickly disappeared.

Because Han Cheng comforted himself in his heart - his little sleep was actually worth it, after all, before going to sleep, he thought of things like donkey carts and bronze highways, which was much more important than squatting in the ground to remove grass for a while, and contributing much more to the tribe.

Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt at ease, and even a little reasonable.

Where is this son sleeping? This is a lot of thought for the development of the tribe!

Sure enough, if people want to live with peace of mind and comfort, in addition to 'thinking', they also need to be shameless......

The millet seedlings in the field had already exceeded his ankles, and Han Cheng walked not far from Wu's side, squatting down one by one, pulling the grass with his hands, and talking to Wu about the donkey cart and the bronze highway.

As Han Cheng spoke, Wu Shovel Grass's movements gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.

Han Cheng knew that this matter could not be finished for a while, so he and Wu found a place with shade, sat on the ridge and continued to talk to Wu.

There was a joy on Wu's face throughout.

This is not that he directly figured out what Han Cheng said, but because in the past, as long as Shen Ziyi said things to himself so solemnly, then the things that would be carried out next must be very important to the tribe and can bring great benefits to the tribe because of this.

Wu's experience was not wrong at all, it took a lot of time, and after roughly understanding what Han Cheng said, Wu couldn't help but crack his toothless mouth and laughed, very happy.

"Son of God, this road should be repaired quickly......"

Wu does things, which is very characteristic of this era, that is, he will do what he says, and he will be a decisive mess.

After figuring out the road that Han Cheng was talking about, as well as the huge benefits that the donkey cart and deer cart could bring to the tribe, the grinning Wu wanted to build the road immediately.

Han Cheng didn't follow what Wu said, immediately summoned people to announce this matter, and then started in a hurry.

Because the construction of such a relatively wide road does not mean that it is built, it requires a series of preliminary preparations.

For example, determining the width of the road surface, determining the route, preparing the tools used to build the road, and the raw materials used in the road construction all need to be determined first.

Fortunately, the Tongshan residential area has just entered the right track, food production has not been fully developed, and the demand and pressure for transportation between the two places is not very large, and the tribe has plenty of time to do this thing, which takes a long time and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to do.

The route can be determined later, and the most important thing to do now is to build the donkey cart first.

Only after the donkey cart is built, the width of the road surface can be determined according to the width of the donkey cart.

However, according to Han Cheng's vision, the road built this time will be able to accommodate two donkey carts to travel side by side, and then extend outward.

This is to prepare for long-term development in the future.

The main tribe of Qingque is close to Salt Mountain, and the Copper Mountain residential area is close to Copper Mountain, both of which are extremely important strategic resources for the tribe.

That is to say, as long as the two resources are not exhausted, then the two tribes of the Blue Sparrow Main Tribe and the Tongshan Sub-tribe will not easily decline, on the contrary, before the two resources are not exhausted, both places will become more prosperous.

As for the depletion of these two resources, thinking back to the mining speed at this time, as well as the consumption of the two resources, Han Cheng felt that this was something that did not need to be considered for decades or even longer.

The main tribe of the Blue Sparrow and the settlement of Copper Mountain have become prosperous, and the demand for this road will become greater in time.

By that time, the tribe might have already received cattle and horses, which were larger than donkeys.

Big animals pull carts, of course, bigger than donkey carts.

At this time, if the road is not built wider, then the time when the two cars meet will not be staggered, and the road needs to be rebuilt and widened, which can be time-consuming and laborious.

When Han Cheng and Wu came to the carpenter's room, the carpenter lame and several other people who were mainly engaged in carpentry and weaving were weaving rattan armor here with soft rattan in the shade of the open space outside the carpenter's house.

Rattan armor is complicated to weave, and because it is used to save life, it has very high quality requirements, so the weaving speed is not fast.

For a master weaver like Lame, the fastest time to weave is only two pairs a day, and usually one and a half pairs.

As for these apprentices, one pair a day is the norm, and sometimes the hand is a little slower, and they can't even weave a pair.

This is on the premise that someone has specially collected and processed the rattan.

If you let the lame people collect the rattans, the speed of weaving the armor will become slower.

However, although there are only seven pairs of rattan armor at most in a day, but with the tireless efforts of the lame and the other five carpenter apprentices, by now, there are almost a hundred pairs of rattan armor in the tribe!

According to the population size of the Qingque tribe and the size of most tribes in this era that Han Cheng had learned, these nearly a hundred pairs of rattan armor could already form a rattan armor army!

"Miko! Witch! ”

"Miko! Witch! ”

With the arrival of Han Cheng and Wu, everyone who saw the two of them got up to greet them one after another.

Han Cheng smiled and waved his hand to everyone, motioning for everyone to continue weaving here, and then walked to the lame's side, and after watching the lame weave the rattan armor for a while, he reached out and patted the lame on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow him.

Limp put down the small half of the rattan armor woven in his hand, got up and went with Han Cheng and Wu to the house where the tribe stored things such as climbing plows and wheelbarrows.

Well, when the donkey cart is built, it will be called a parking lot......

The reason why Han Cheng didn't tell Lame these things in front of the carpenter's room was because watching the plough and wheelbarrow here could better explain things about the donkey cart and make Lame have a more intuitive feeling.

On the other hand, it is to avoid the distraction of the other apprentices and delay the weaving of rattan armor.

Well, Han Dashenzi is also a person who loves to watch other people's hard work very much......

As Han Cheng spoke, the lame eyes that were originally a little dazed because Han Cheng and Wu came to find him together became brighter and brighter, but later it was like a flicker of light inside.

Limp excitedly, look at the many climbing plows stored here, and then look at the wheelbarrow on the other side, and rub his hands back and forth excitedly.

That's so wise!

The Son of God is so wise!

I also once felt a deep regret that the climbing plow could only be used when heavy snow fell, but this regret was just a regret, and I didn't think of any way to make up for this regret.

And now, with a few words from the Divine Son, this matter has been solved.

The wheelbarrow can run when it is pushed by someone with round wheels, so why can't I remember to put wheels on the plow?

In this way, even if there is no snow, the animals of the tribe can walk with this kind of climbing plough with a wheel.

And a climbing plow can hold more than four wheelbarrows.

Once something like this is made, then ......

"Miko!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, came to Han Cheng and saluted Han Cheng deeply, and shouted respectfully to express his deep respect......
