093 Build a city

Zhao Hao wanted to build a city, a city that was enough to resist the crazy revenge of the Xue Manbu, a city that was enough to give the people of the Salt Department and the Black Stone tribe a sense of security.

However, there is no such thing as a castle at this time, and, judging from Cangwu's performance, the Blackstone Department does not seem to be keen on building a city, because the clansmen of the Blackstone tribe do not want to move.

How do you say about moving?

Some people will move with sad faces, and some people will move happily.

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

If the place you move to is the same as the original, or even worse than the original, it will be in vain, and you will find guilt for yourself, and the person who moves will naturally have a sad face.

If the place you move to is much better than the original place you live, for example, from an old shantytown to a high-end commercial house, or from a dilapidated thatched house to a brand-new brick house, the people who move will naturally be elated.

In order to let the clansmen of the Blackstone tribe happily move to the place he chose and build a city with him, Zhao Hao decided to build a beautiful brick house first, so that the clansmen of the Blackstone tribe could see how good the place they were about to move to.

At this time, it doesn't take too many people to build a house, because Zhao Hao doesn't need to build a high-rise building, he only needs to build a brick house that is slightly larger than a thatched house and a tree house.

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

This big mountain is much higher than the mountains where the Black Stone Department now lives, standing halfway up the mountainside, it is almost on the same level as the mountain where Cangwu lives, perhaps, this is the reason why the Black Stone Department did not come to live here, although there is a stream here, but the mountain is too high, and it is very difficult to climb.

Zhao Hao didn't care about this, he directly found a large open space on the mountainside, and then commanded more than ten young people to remove weeds, hoe the ground, and then use branches to roughly draw a square of about fifty square meters on the ground, and then let those young people dig a shallow pit about knee-deep according to the position of the line.

This is the foundation of the house, the brick house is still a little heavy, but you don't dare to build it directly on the soft land, you need to dig a foundation, the foundation is covered with stones, increase the load-bearing area, otherwise, the house may fall down if it is built on.

Cangwu didn't know what Zhao Hao was going to do, but it was nothing as trivial as digging a shallow pit and filling in some stones, and more than ten young men were soon busy.

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

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

However, after laying two layers, he felt that it was too troublesome to paste the clay by hand, so he asked people to find a shovel and directly remove the wooden handle behind it, and use it as a masonry knife for the time being.

He used a criss-cross wall method, that is, two bricks horizontally, then two bricks vertically, and then two bricks horizontally, and above two bricks were placed vertically, then two bricks horizontally, and then two bricks vertically, and so on, so that the wall built was much stronger than all horizontal or all vertical.

Cangwu and more than ten young men didn't know what he wanted to do, anyway, Zhao Hao didn't let them do anything, they only moved bricks and clay at most, and Zhao Hao was busy with everything else.

It took Zhao Hao two days to build the walls on all four sides to a height of about two meters, and then he built a herringbone on the walls on both sides, and the wall structure was roughly completed.

Then he cut down a thigh-thick trunk and a bunch of arm-thick branches.

The thigh-thick trunk he went directly up to the groove reserved at the top of the herringbone, and when the beam was used, the arm-thick branch was cut in half with his divine weapon, and he stared densely at the thigh-thick trunk on both sides, and added some reinforced crossbows to the eaves below.

At this time, the appearance of the house had actually taken shape, and Cangwu and the others also understood what Zhao Hao was doing, and they looked at the spacious and sturdy house with surprise on their faces, and they were all excited.

When Zhao Hao lined up the entire roof with the tiles one positive and one negative, they were already excited to run to the tribe and called many clansmen to see the strangeness.

This house is simply wonderful, compared to the thatched hut and tree house they used to live in, it is simply heaven and earth.

That's it, Zhao Hao was not satisfied, he extravagantly spread the clay bricks all over the floor in the room, set up a fire kang in the corner, threw some hay, and let Cangwu lie down and try it, and then asked: "Leader Cangwu, how is it, this house is good, right?" ”

Cang Wu nodded again and again: "Okay, this house is so good, I want to move here." ”

Zhao Hao asked with a smile again: "If we build this mountain full of houses like this, your people from the Black Stone Tribe won't be unhappy to move, right?" ”

Cangwu said excitedly: "How can you not want to move, now they are clamoring to live in this kind of house." ”

That's it.

Zhao Hao sighed secretly, and then said solemnly: "Okay, now, let's discuss the matter of building the city wall." ”

This city wall is not as simple as building a brick house, because the height of the city wall itself has to reach more than three meters, and people have to stand on it, and it can't be too narrow, and it has to repair the arrow stacks, the city gate, and the arrow tower or something, and this building has to be built more than ten miles long, and he doesn't dare to take on such a big project alone even if he has the strength to do it alone.

The city wall of more than ten miles was built by one person, just kidding, it was really going to be built in the Year of the Monkey.

Fortunately, there are many people in the Black Stone Tribe, and after Zhao Hao built the brick house that "surpassed this era", almost all the people of the Black Stone Department were so enthusiastic that they couldn't stop it.

Building a city wall, a person is unimaginably slow, but with thousands of strong people who are more than two or three hundred catties strong and two or three thousand enthusiastic Blackstone tribesmen, that guy, the speed of building the city wall is more terrifying.

The foundation is one person deep, and it is dug in a few days.

The boulder that filled the foundation was carried by the tribesmen of the Blackstone tribe in a few days.

The next step was to fill in the foundations, repair the brick walls on both sides of the wall, and fill the middle of the wall with earth.

In order to continuously improve everyone's enthusiasm, Zhao Hao also deliberately thought of a way, that is, to fill the soil in the middle of the city wall, digging directly on the hillside, he kept drawing circles there, and said to the clansmen of the Black Stone Tribe, this is the foundation of a certain family's house, that is the foundation of a certain family's house, quickly dig ah, the foundation of the city wall is almost built, everyone can build their own house.

This guy, just his simple stimulation, the clansmen of the Blackstone tribe immediately went crazy to the extent that they forgot to sleep and eat day and night.

The city walls were taking shape at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and dense foundations appeared on the high mountain where the Salt Stone City was located, and a new city gradually appeared on the ancient and barbaric land.
