At the end of the meeting, Tinch laid out the most important work of the near future, and all the staff went into battle to clear the roots of the trees on the other side of the lumberyard, make adobe, burn bricks, tiles, and tools, and prepare for the construction of a large defense and living facility: the city.

Tinch is ready to build a city!

The location of the city, Ding Qi thought about it a lot, and finally chose the location of the lumber yard, which is why Ding Qi was ready to clean the roots. On the other side of the lumberyard, the terrain is higher, with a large lake in front and a large mountain in the back. The mountains are mostly rocky and have little soil, so natural disasters such as mudslides are not formed. Moreover, this place is not on the main road of flood discharge, so the safety aspect is more guaranteed.

As for the place where I live now, it will remain the same, and I can continue to live in it during the construction of the city. Later, the fence could be reinforced as a sub-city, or used exclusively for the feeding of livestock.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ding Qi took the elders, the medical witch group, Ben, red deer and other cadres to the location of the lumberyard, stood on a high place, checked the surrounding terrain, and clarified the specific location of the city.

The lumberyard is located in the northeast corner of where I now live, and at first it was about 300 meters away from my residence. As the lumber yard slowly expands east and north, a piece of seven or eight hundred meters in the middle is exposed, which is the former logging site. There are stumps of different thicknesses and sizes on the logging ground, interspersed with some shrubs and deep grass, as well as cut down branches, which are placed in the same place in the east and west, and in the middle is a dirt road two or three meters wide, which is the road for transporting wood for a long time.

As mentioned earlier, the dwelling chosen by Tinch is itself on a high platform, with a gentle slope connected to the meadow below. The platform itself is on the same plane as the ash kiln and the lumber yard, separated by a stream, but in the direction of the ash kiln and the lumber yard to the south is a steep slope, with a drop of about seven or eight meters, and covered with shrubs and thorns. Because it is a bit far from the dwelling, the slope is steep, and it is inconvenient to walk, so the tribesmen rarely pass in this direction.

The kiln is located southwest of the lumberyard, close to the dwellings, and is mainly used to manufacture and transport pottery conveniently, and to transport limestone conveniently. Considering that the ash kiln is a highly polluting industry, so it cannot be built with the city, so Ding Qi decided to choose the location of the lumber yard in the northeast of the ash kiln, close to the forest, about a mile away from the mountain behind, and a kilometer away from the ash kiln.

Through on-site investigations, Ding Qi fully realized the cruelty of humans, animals, and plants in the struggle for living space. After a long period of logging, the lumber yard has expanded more than a kilometer to the east, and countless trees have fallen, leaving behind piercing stumps. Not to mention that the animals that inhabited it before were either killed or escaped, and there was no third possibility.

However, in order to survive, human beings can only encroach on the living space of other animals and plants, and there is still a very long time for man and nature to live in harmony. At present, Dingqi is thinking about how to make more people survive and live in an environment where there is no danger.

Ding Qi participated in the military parade, and the 96-meter-long distance of 128 steps was just completed, and one step was 75 centimeters. Ding Qi used his stride length combined with the size of his right fist about 10 centimeters long, and made a meter ruler out of bamboo chips, and asked people to cut out two wooden sticks five meters long according to the meter ruler, which were used as measuring tools for the construction of the city. As for the master of the meter ruler, it was put away by Ding Qi as the standard for future measuring tools.

After the measuring tools were made, it was almost evening, and Ding Qi convened a meeting of the backbone again. The meeting focused on a central idea, around how to build a city. The whole tribe is divided into five parts, and the manpower is distributed according to the amount of work and the importance of it.

The first part only needs the three or four members of the elder group, Ding Qi leading the team, Falcon and Brute Bull to scatter lime and draw lines, to plan and measure the scale of the city. At the same time, the three of them also have to discuss the setting and distribution of buildings in the city, and start planning in advance.

The second part is in charge of the deer, leading all the women and some of the skillful men to weave baskets, aiming for 200 pairs. Jing led the carpenter group to divide into two groups, one group made flat poles, with a target of 200 sticks, to be used with baskets; A team builds wheelbarrows, aiming for fifty.

The third part is led by red deer, divided into two groups, one group is responsible for making bronzes on the side of the ash kiln, mainly shovels and pickaxes, the goal is to make the number of the two tools of the tribe reach 200 each, and the difference is made up; One group is responsible for firing bricks at the cave kiln, first making the first batch of bricks that have been dried long ago into red bricks, and continuing to draw the bricks while waiting for the firing, making full use of every minute of time.

The fourth part, which is also the largest part, which accounts for more than a third of the tribe, is responsible for clearing the site of the lumberyard, including roots, shrubs, weeds, stones, etc. For deep-rooted, thick roots, even the roots are pulled out with the help of horses.

The fifth part is the underage children, who are active in all corners with the support of the cooking class to deliver water and food to all parts of the people.

Of course, the defense work of the tribe has not been put down, there are people on duty in the high places, there is a little golden hope in the air, and the little cutie leads the two bears to jump up and down around the tribe, paying attention to some hidden risks. Now the cutie is extremely adapted to the work of taking the little guy, before it was with little black and white, and now it is with Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

The five tasks were carried out at the same time, neither interfering with each other nor cooperating with each other, and all the preparations were completed in ten days in the process of orderly progress.

After on-the-spot measurements, Ding Qi selected an area with a side length of 500 meters as the main body of the city according to the previously planned location. Four city walls are built on four sides of the city, the city wall is three meters thick, six meters high, the two sides of the wall are reinforced with bricks, the brick body is 60 centimeters wide and the length of two and a half red bricks, the middle is filled with lime rammed earth, the rammed earth is thick and wide one meter eight, to ensure that the city wall is strong and durable.

The city wall has three city gates, east, west and south, the city gate is also eight meters high and five meters wide, and the gatehouse is built on it, all of which are built with brick and stone structures. The four corners of the city wall are set up with watchtowers and arrow towers, which are used to observe the enemy's situation and shoot with bows and arrows, and an alarm bell is set up on it. There are also female walls and archery holes on the city walls to make it easy to avoid enemy attacks.

For ten days, Ding Qi and the three elders have been discussing the planning of the urban area, and even invited the three medical witches to participate in the design of the functional blocks of the urban area.

Entering the south gate, there is a 20-meter-wide avenue that serves as the central axis of the entire city and leads to the northernmost point, where a large hall will be built for important events such as worship and reception of guests. According to several medical witches, the Ding tribe has reached the standard of a large tribe, and it is necessary to build a totem pole of its own tribe to show the majesty of the tribe.

There is also a 20-meter-wide avenue between the east gate and the west gate

, as an east-west axis. At the intersection of the two axes, an area with a diameter of 100 meters is planned, and there are bell and drum towers on the left and right sides. As for the bells and drums, they are in post-production, and they can be planned and built first.

Through two central axes, the whole city is divided into four blocks, the east and west sides of the main hall are set up as residential areas, the houses in the residential area will be designed as row houses, a row of houses is designed into twenty rooms, separated by a passage in the middle, each room is about ten square meters, two small rooms inside and outside. These houses will be distributed to those who have families, and there will definitely be a lot of surplus in the early stage, but Ding Qi is not afraid, sooner or later these houses will be used up.

A large block in the southeast corner is the barracks, which has barracks, training grounds, shooting ranges, horse farms and horse feeding areas, and a separate dining room. The large western half of the southwest corner is the feeding area for all livestock except the horses, and the forage storage area; The eastern half is dedicated to the artisan area, which includes the research and production of carpenters, rattan baskets, ropes, fishing nets, etc.

Each block is cross-divided into four small pieces, which exist as some special functional areas. At the same time, taking advantage of the unique advantages of the city's high north and low south, an urban drainage system was set up, and all the water was discharged into the culvert, and then directly discharged into the ditch under the steep slope along the culvert.

In terms of the planning of the city, several real primitives were really vague about Ding Qi's ideas, but in the end, they all understood it thoroughly and were persuaded by Ding Qi. It was said that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was mainly Ding Qi who was planning, and they added it. However, it is these urban plans that have also made several people have an incomparable heart, which is the Aragami.

In ten days, the people in the second part followed Ding Qi's guidance and the methods studied and explored by everyone, and made up a basket to reach the target number, which was equipped with the flat pole made by the Jing team, which could easily transport items, which made many people curious and took the flat pole for trial. As for the wheelbarrows, they are also very quick to make because of the material reserves, and they can be used as long as they combine with the basket weavers to weave some large rattan baskets and place them on them. In addition, two ropes are tied to the front to facilitate towing by horses or manpower.

The red deer burned the first batch of red bricks, which they took turns resting for seven consecutive days. It may be because of the first time to burn such a large number of bricks, the fire is not in place, and the fired bricks have about 30% defective products, and the degree of solidity is still a little worse than the real red bricks, and they can only rely on the red deer to slowly explore. The adobe has been dried a lot, about 80% of the original, and as for the shovels and cross drafts, these things have long been made, and they have reached the quantity requirements, and they are ready to use with wooden sticks.

In the fourth part, they were responsible for more physical work than the rest of the staff, and even some tribesmen who were temporarily okay would come over to help them dig pits and clean up tree roots. The roots of the trees are chopped into pieces and transported by the red deer to burn charcoal and quicklime, killing two birds with one stone.

On the tenth day, all the preparations were complete, and Dingqi gave everyone a day off, haircuts, shaving, saunas, playing football, swinging, and relaxing. There was even a bonfire in the evening, during which a courtship dance was danced, and a couple of sons and women formed a family according to Tinch's request. After all, there are many women and men, and women are sought-after, and even the women among those slaves have not been spared.

Everything is done in order and joy.
