On the other hand, the building team led by Yuan Heshen is also busy.

There are three main materials used to build a simple house that can shelter from the rain: elongated trunks, branches, and wide plant leaves.

The trunk does not need to be too thick, at most the thickness of the wrist of an adult is good, in the absence of tools, it is a relatively simple thing to get the trunk of the wrist thickness, the person with great strength can break the trunk with the thickness of the wrist alone, and the person with less strength can cooperate with two people.

Since tree trunks can also be used as weapons, the slave team is not involved in the "felling" of the harvest, and the slave team can only be led by the edge to collect the wide leaves of the plant.

The trunk is the frame of the house, the branches are the foundation of the roof, and the wide leaves of the plant are the roof of the house.

After nearly an hour of labor, a batch of materials for building houses was sent back to the tribe's residence, and Shen and twenty tribesmen stayed in the residence to prepare for the construction of the house, while the rest of the building team still went out to obtain various building materials.

It is very easy to build this kind of simple house with the function of sheltering from the rain, almost every primitive tribe can build it, and even the houses built by the monkey tribe themselves are much better than this kind of house, at least the houses of the monkey tribe can protect from the wind and rain, and there is a little effect of resisting the cold.

Shen led his clan to start building a house, first choosing eight tree trunks as the frame of the house, about two meters high, about two meters five wide, and more than three meters long.

After selecting the eight trunks, dig four pits in an open space according to the length of the trunks, and then bury the four trunks as high as the pit to fix them.

After fixing the four trunks as high, then tie the two trunks as wide and two as long trunks with hemp rope between the two trunks as high, it should be noted that the two widths should be tilted a little, the front is high and the back is low, and the rain will flow to the back when it rains, but the tilt angle should not be too large, which will increase the difficulty of building a house.

After the frame of the house is fixed, the next step is to lay the roof, according to the length of the house, select four to six trunks that are about the same width and length as the house, tie them between the two trunks as long, this is the first layer of the roof, and then spread thinner branches on the first layer of the roof to form the second layer of the roof, and finally those wide plant leaves are carefully placed on the two layers of foundation.

It is not enough to lay one layer of plant leaves, and a roof needs to be covered with at least two layers of plant leaves to ensure that the house does not leak rain or has little rain.

In addition, in order to prevent the leaves of the plants on the roof from being hung by the wind, it is necessary to choose stones of similar weight to hold the leaves of the plants down.

After the steps were completed, a house was officially built, and this simple house with only a roof and no walls should perhaps be called a pavilion.

Not counting the time spent collecting materials, it takes up to four people to build a house and a maximum of three hours to build, with the roof being the one that takes the most time.

The area of a house is about seven square meters, squeezed together, about four or five adults can lie down at the same time, so calculated, the entire dragon tribe needs about a hundred houses of this specification, and those slaves also need houses to live in, which has to increase by about forty, and the dragon tribe has to build a total of one hundred and forty houses.

One hundred and forty houses may seem like a lot, but if you do the math, it won't take much time.

Four people can build a house in three hours, at least three houses in a day, ten groups of people can build thirty houses in a day, and one hundred and forty houses can be built in four or five days, but it also needs to send a large number of people to collect materials for building houses outside, and the speed of collecting materials is not as fast as building houses.

Houses are built quickly but simply, with only the basic function of sheltering from the rain, not even the function of blocking the wind, let alone isolating from the cold, and if it is winter, I don't know how many people will freeze to death if they live in such houses.

This problem can be thought of by ordinary people, and Su Yan can naturally think of it, so the house built so far is not a final product, but a primary product.

In the eight months before the arrival of winter, the people of the dragon tribe will also carry out deep processing of these primary products, weaving four walls with branches or rattan, and then building four walls with stones and mud outside, and the roof should also be thickened, so that after a few steps, although the final effect of resisting the cold is not as good as that of a brick house, and the narrow internal space cannot build a stove, but it can allow the tribesmen to survive the cold winter.

In the afternoon, a third of the time passed, the fishing team returned smoothly, in half a day, the harvest of the fishing team exceeded 5,000 catties, the fishing team totaled only more than 150 people, everyone carried and carried so many fish back, more than 5,000 catties of fish enough for everyone in the dragon tribe, including slaves, to eat two meals and leftovers.

Based on the average harvest of 15 catties of nets, it is only more than 300 fishing nets, and the average is only 6 or 7 times for each person.

The members of the fishing team have calmed down after a few attempts to catch fish, and the mistakes have become less and less, and the morning is not over, and today's fishing work has ended, and the fishing team has spent the rest of the time cleaning the nets and maintaining the nets by the river.

The so-called "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets" is the best way to fish, because it is impossible to fish every day and dry the nets every day, and it is impossible to repair the nets during the fishing period.

However, the method of "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets" is a bit inapplicable in the primitive era, there are so many fish in the river, it only takes half a day to fish to get enough fish, and the rest of the time is used to maintain the nets.

By the time the fishing party returned to the tribe, Shen and his team had already set up six houses in the tribe's settlement, and five more were expected to be built before dark, with a large pile of building materials piled aside.

The slaves were tied with hemp rope after putting the fish down, and the slaves could not be put down at any time, and at any time these slaves would join forces to rebel, and it was more likely that they would seize some of the underage members of the Dragon Tribe as hostages, and they could not give them any chance.

The dragon tribe has just conquered the monkey tribe, it is impossible to want the people of the monkey tribe to be completely obedient, you need to be careful at all times when they rebel, people will always use when they are tired, if the people of the monkey tribe want to resist in their hearts do not disappear, they will always find an opportunity to rebel, the dragon tribe must "educate" the people of the monkey tribe, and finally let them lose the mind of resistance and honestly become a slave.
