Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 107 Building the City (2) (Proofreading)
On either side of the wall of the house, two fire pits with a width of two meters will be built, and on the side near the cave mountain, there will be pipes in the ground to connect to the "boiler room" of the bathroom.
When the boiler room is boiling hot water, the heat will be continuously transported to each room through pipes, and in order to compensate for the heat loss during the transmission process, there are also five fire pits built near the wall on the side of the cliff.
In winter, wood is lit in the fire pit to keep the kang warm, and at night, it can be illuminated.
The door was also made by Liu Bei, just in the middle of the house, one meter and two wide, one in the front and one in the front, facing the middle aisle of the fire pit.
The overall length of the house is aligned with the gazebo, which is 60 meters long, and since the width of one room is 5 meters, there will be a total of 24 rooms 10 meters long and 5 meters wide as bedrooms.
The privacy of such a room is still very poor, and the high-pitched primitive voice of primitive people when they run errands at night still cannot be eliminated, but primitive people have always been like this at all, they don't care, and under the existing conditions, Wang Tian can't make them alone.
A total of 24 houses, in the middle of which will be made of linen cloth as a curtain, from the pit to separate 48 relatively independent spaces, with the current number of people in the tribe, each family, can be divided into a 25 square meters of independent bedroom, and the house will be free.
As for the problem of living after the tribal population increases in the future, Wang Tian also considered that the vacant land between the new houses and the pavilion in this row of plans could be built in another row of such houses.
This means that even if the population of the tribe doubles from the current one, the house can still be built within the walls.
In the upper right corner in front of the tribal cave, this wide flat land, Wang Tian did not plan to build a house, he would build a flat threshing floor here as a place to develop agriculture and dry grain in the future.
There is still a 10-meter-wide and 70-meter-long space between the left side of the cave and the newly built house, which will be used as a grain storage site in the future.
And as a necessary manifestation of privilege, the open space on the right side of the tribe, 30 meters wide and 70 meters long, will build a house to serve as the residence of the five giants of the tribe.
Because the width reaches 30 meters, of course, there is no need for such a large living area, so the width of 20 meters will be built into the style of the ancestral hall of the Jongmyo according to the appearance of future generations.
The surrounding area will be built, but there will be no separation in the middle, it will be used as a hall, Wang Tian plans to move the canteen here after it is completed, so that it can also function as a meeting room, so that it will not feel cold when eating here in winter.
Because the area is large enough, spinning and weaving, grinding stone tools, and some carpentry work in winter can be carried out here.
After the location of the original canteen is vacated, it will be used as a temporary place for grain in the threshing floor, and there is no need to worry about the sudden rain in the summer, so there is no place to stack the grain produced by the drumming.
Later, a row of houses will be built on the side of the cliff for habitation.
In this way, even if all the five giants live here, they will not use more than half of the area, and the other half of the houses will be rewarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to the tribe.
For example, the second generation of officials like Heizi, Xiaoling, and Zhou who have contributed to the tribe, as well as technical talents like Liu Bei.
Now Liu Bei and the second brother of Jingang have become busy people, and now there are no electric hammers and nails in this era, if you want the doors and windows to be strong and able to install, you need to install the doors and windows while building the house.
The two of them were working overtime to make a series of doors and windows, because once the red bricks were fired, with the existing population of the tribe, the main body of the house could be built in a day, and they had to make all the doors and windows before then.
The bottom of the window is not designed to be high from the ground, only one meter two from the ground, this is because the tribal people are generally shorter, the window does not need to be too high, in order to increase the intensity of light in the house, the window is made into a square of 1.5 meters high.
This not only facilitates the light, but also reduces the use of red bricks, such a wide two windows will be covered with two layers of paper in winter to block the cold outside, and the indoor fire will not be a problem to keep warm in winter.
In order to solve the problem of summer heat, the doors and windows of the houses are designed to hedge, and this row of houses side by side with the gazebo is connected by an aisle in the middle of each house, so that the whole row of houses becomes a whole, the same as when living in the cave, which helps the unity of the tribe, as for the problem of privacy, the primitive people feel that it is not a problem at all, and Wang Tian will naturally not do it more.
With such a design, numerous doors, windows and aisles, it will form a wind tunnel effect, and the highest floor height reaches 4 meters, so it will not feel stuffy in such a room in summer, and it is no exaggeration to say that living in such a room in summer is more comfortable than installing air conditioning.
In the following period, all but a few pregnant women and mothers were involved in the construction of the houses, making bricks, tiles, doors and windows, digging and laying foundations, and other work at the same time.
Finally, a month after the construction of the wall, two houses were erected, with red bricks and black tiles, with log-colored doors and windows, except that because the doors and windows were cut with knives and axes, they were cut with knives and axes.
When everyone saw that the house had been built, they were full of joy and wanted to move into the new house immediately, but they were stopped by Wang Tian.
The newly built house was too humid to be inhabited immediately, and the interior of the walls had not yet been plastered.
Wang Tian arranged for everyone to collect firewood and light two bonfires in each room for smoking, and the kang tables on both sides, because the bathhouse with 24-hour hot water supply was also built at the same time, and everyone has been bathing with hot water recently.
At the same time as boiling hot water, the kang platform has been smoked and roasted directly in the house, and Wang Tian does not have to worry about blackening the house, because in the end the house has to be painted with lime.
As a formal building, the stucco lime is directly coated with a very fine lime mortar, first leveled with a coarser base, and finally coated with fine lime on the surface.
Next, Wang Tian set the time for moving to his new house when the first snow of the year arrived, so the people of the tribe began to look forward to the arrival of the first snow like never before.
At this time in the past, they were still nervously collecting any food they could collect, constantly busy with food for the winter, no matter how hard they tried, they always had fear in their hearts.
Because there is always not enough food, where can you imagine, this autumn has been a month before the tribe has been suffering from the sweet troubles of the abundance of winter food.
The first thing children do when they wake up every day is to rush out of the cave and see if the first snow is coming! They were eager to move into their new homes immediately, and as time went on, the plaster on the interior of the house dried, and the entire wall became white.
Primitive people who have never seen such a flat, so comfortable, and such a bright house, whether adults or children, are full of longing for the new home that is about to be moved.
Because the walls had been built, the tall walls, the moats filled with water, and the drawbridges that had been pulled up high separated the tribe from the outside world.
Nowadays, children only worry about threats from the sky, but giant eagles rarely attacked humans even in primitive times, so they now run around the observation deck no matter what, and they don't have to worry about danger coming at any time.
This absolutely reassuring and safe experience is even more precious in this primitive era full of desolate beasts.
And the adults in the tribe, looking at the high wall, everyone holding bows and arrows, walking and patrolling the wall, suddenly in their hearts a boundless pride, the safety of the tribe will be solid from now on, after next year there will be more manpower, put into hunting, farming, and other activities.
Everyone believes that under the leadership of the Son of Heaven, the scenes in "The Song of the Dragon Tribe" will definitely be gradually realized in the near next year.
With the successful completion of the city construction plan, Wang Tian already planned to use the remaining time to reclaim the cultivated land and go on a rafting trip, and it was too late to make a canoe......
Millet, copper, iron......
