120 Forts
The Qinghe tribesmen, or the new Youyan tribesmen, want to migrate to the grassland can not be completed in a day or two, at least they must prepare enough tents, otherwise, it is very likely that they will be exposed to rain during the migration.
There is no cold medicine these days, and if some people get gonorrhea, it will be a big problem.
Also, there's a lot to take care of here.
For example, heterocarpus trees and heterocarpus that are about to ripen.
Another example is the strange beast that has not been hunted around yet.
As the threat of the Xue Manbu became less and less irresistible, some of Zhao Hao's thoughts also changed, such a good thing as the alien fruit tree, when they evacuated the place of the Yan Ministry, they were not able to protect it, so they just left it there and left it alone.
At this time, he has the ability to protect the alien fruit tree, so naturally he has to find a way to protect it.
Although this strange fruit didn't have much effect on him, it still had a great effect on ordinary people, and it was a pity to lose it in vain.
So, how do you protect this exotic tree?
Zhao Hao circled around the strange fruit tree for a while, and then came up with a good idea, that is, to build a small fortress, fence this strange fruit tree, and then arrange people to take turns on duty.
This fortress doesn't need to be repaired much, it can accommodate about a dozen people, and when the time comes, two squads will be sent every month to take turns to be on duty.
Of course, although this fortress is small, it is not so easy to build, first of all, there must be clay bricks, or without clay bricks, it is almost impossible to build a fortress.
After Zhao Hao dealt with the food problem of more than 2,000 new people in the salt department, he began to look for clay.
In fact, this clay is found in many places, but some tribes can use it to make pottery, and some tribes have no use for holding it.
There were many places around Qinghebu's hometown where there was clay, so he directly found the nearest place, ordered someone to dig it, and in less than a day, he dug out a simple brick kiln.
However, although clay is easy to find, this coal is not so easy to find, but fortunately, they need to fire clay bricks, not pottery, and they don't need to burn too many clay bricks, so there is no problem with using firewood directly.
This method of firing clay bricks has been memorized by heart, and Zhao Hao does not need to teach this, that is, how to build this fortress, no one has yet understood, and he has to explain it to others in detail.
There are many types of fortresses, the larger fortress is actually a small city, surrounded by city walls, as well as the city gate arrow tower or something, and the repair method of the city wall of the salt stone city is almost the same, the smaller fortress is equivalent to a larger brick house.
As for what type of fortress to build, it depends on the actual needs, Zhao Hao just wants to prevent ordinary beasts and individual people from destroying the alien fruit trees, so naturally there is no need to build a small city, just repair his four rows of brick houses and enclose the alien fruit trees.
Of course, the structure of this brick house is not quite the same as that of an ordinary brick house, an ordinary brick house, the roof is directly covered with tiles, and this fortress must have a platform on the top, so that people can stand on it and watch the vigilance.
This platform is a bit troublesome to repair, because there are no prefabricated slabs several meters long, and there is no stone several meters long, how to build the platform?
Zhao Hao racked his brains to come up with a compromise solution, that is, first lay a layer of logs on the roof, and then use clay bricks to build platform floors and watchtowers and other things on top of the logs.
It took him two more days to conceive, design, and explain in detail, and by the time Ah Hua took the Black Stone Department to start digging the foundation and preparing to build the fortress, three days had already passed.
At this time, Zhao Hao took Ah Yue, Ah Yun and Ah Shui, rode the white dragon, and continued to hunt strange beasts.
There are still six or seven strange beasts around the hometown of the Qinghe Ministry, and these naturally can't stay, whether it is for the safety of the strong people who will guard the fortress in the future, or to improve their strength, he has to eliminate these strange beasts.
On the fourth day, they hunted a poor man.
This poor qi is actually not as fierce as the legend, in general, it is just a bull-shaped beast with strong and abnormal fur, for Zhao Hao, these are floating clouds, no matter how strong the body is, no matter how hard the fur is, it is also a one-knife solution.
However, there is another advantage to this strong body, that is, there is a lot of meat, and a poor Qi decomposes, not only the newly added Jingzhuang of the salt department and the Jingzhuang of the black stone department each get about two catties of flesh and bones, but Ah Shui also tasted the taste of exotic beast steak for the first time.
The effect of this poor meat steak is naturally not as big as that of the steak made of Kui beef, but the taste is indeed the same.
Zhao Hao still pretended, accompanied the three of them to eat a little at will, and then disposed of Qiqi's internal organs.
A poor heart, the effect can be a little better than a mountain ointment, but compared to the saber-toothed tiger, he finished eating, a total of more than 300 catties of strength, this strength growth is so slow, it really makes him a little anxious.
However, fortunately, the speed of Tumeng's strength growth is definitely not comparable to him.
Not to mention that Tu Meng's strength has already reached 20,000 catties, and the effect of alien beast meat on it is even weaker, just to say that the internal organs of this alien beast have an advantage over alien beast meat, even if Tu Meng is a day that is stuffed into hundreds of catties of alien beast meat, it is not as fast as him easily eating a few catties of internal organs.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Tu Meng wants to catch up with the growth rate of his strength, I am afraid that he will have to eat at least four or five hundred catties of foreign beast meat a day!
This is obviously impossible, even if a person can eat again, the size of the stomach is limited, even if the meat of the alien beast is stuffed into the throat, a person, a meal can be stuffed with dozens of catties of things at most, and if there is more, it will break the belly.
Therefore, Zhao Hao was not very worried that Tu Meng would surpass him in terms of strength growth rate, so that he would not be able to catch up, he was just a little worried that Tu Meng was faster than him in terms of the speed at which the alien beasts were obtained.
After all, there are tens of thousands of households under his hands, and there are several masters with more than 10,000 catties of strength, and if they want to hunt foreign beasts, it is even easier than him.
Of course, it was in vain to worry about these things at this time, it was impossible for him to stop Tu Meng from hunting and eating foreign beasts, the only thing he could do was to hunt more foreign beasts himself, and strive to not fall behind in numbers.
On the fifth day, he still took Ah Shui and the others and rode the white dragon to hunt for strange beasts.
This time, what they hunted was still a dangkang, no way, this guy is the closest to the hometown of Qinghebu at this time, in order to improve efficiency and save time, Zhao Hao can only come from near and far, step by step.
A strange beast is naturally not enough for seven or eight hundred strong people to eat, and everyone will get about half a catty of flesh and bones, a small piece, and it is a little too full to cook soup, which can only be regarded as better than nothing.
Zhao Hao still made roasted tenderloin and stewed pig's trotters for Ah Yun and them, and the three of them ate fragrantly and were full.
The days passed like this, the fortress guarding the alien fruit trees was slowly taking shape, the migration plan of the new tribe of Youyan was also being carried out in an orderly manner, and Zhao Hao's strength was also growing.
Everything seemed to be uneventful, but these were quite terrifying things for their enemy, Xue Manbu.
Because, the strength of the salt department is about to multiply!
