Chapter 194: Zhu Rong Gonggong
Su Yang suddenly felt that everyone was too superficial, did they have to be materially rewarded and physically tortured? It's a mental punishment!
If he said that, he would probably be drowned in saliva. In the end, the reward for meat and clay pots was set, and the punishment was to starve, supplemented by spiritual praise and reprimand, but no one would be beaten.
Ten teams started work at the same time, and along the foundation line he had sprinkled with plant ash, they first piled up large stones with relatively flat upper ends, and then they could ram the earth, and it was only with great strength that they could produce miracles.
The able-bodied went out to look for stones, and when they found them, they tied them with ropes and carried them back, while the rest of the auxiliary tribesmen were responsible for going outside to pick up the earth, that is, to transport the dirt back, and to prepare tree trunks of a good size, bamboo trunks, forage to cover the house, and various tools.
Su Yang is mainly responsible for coordinating manpower and quality control, and basically does not work in person.
The Pangu axe is mainly used to cut and polish to make board buildings, and there are only a few people in a team who actually build the wall, these are big workers, and the rest are all small workers. Just like modern floor tiles, you let ten new hands, a day is estimated to be 100 square meters, but with a big job with a small worker, only half a day can get 100 square meters.
So he mainly aimed at the big workers of each group, and after the training was in place, he waited for the house to be built.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The master worker stood in the middle of the plank, and the small worker poured the earth into it, and the big worker kept pestling the soil with a wooden stick, and when the board was filled, it became a wall. Then punch and reinforce both sides of the wall.
When you encounter a place where you need to leave a door, there is a row of wooden sticks, which is equivalent to a beam, and the same is true for the windows. As for the beams, they are buried directly into the wall, which is very stable.
He also taught the master how to lift the level, the way is to break a straight bamboo stick in half, knock off the bamboo inside, fill it with water and put it on the plane, if the water does not overflow, it means flat, if it overflows, then see which side it is tilted towards, and repair it.
In addition, a gyroscope is used to hang vertical lines and maintain the verticality of the wall. He also made a corner ruler, or triangle, which he used to snap out a corner of a wall of 90 degrees.
In this way, the house is at least scientifically sound. As for using fire to burn the earth wall, it is actually not reliable, and the ruins of the Yin Shang era in later generations, the earthen wall buildings left behind are also made of plates.
Of course, it's not that fire can't build walls, but it's much worse than board building, neither strong nor thick, and fire has higher requirements for soil, and it also needs to add water to stir the soil, and the wall has to use wooden sticks as backbones.
"Come here, everybody, and I'll teach you how to make a fire out of flint." When he was about to rest before dinner, Rong became active, and he became the king of children, and he responded to every call.
But today something went wrong, and some children shouted, "It's too hot, we want to go paddling, and the co-worker said to teach us to paddle." ”
"Gonggong, come here, I'll teach you to make a fire first." Rong pointed to a teenager.
Gonggong retorted: "I don't like fire, so I'm going to paddle, and Su is going to paddle too." ”
It just so happened that Su Yang came over and asked in astonishment: "Why are you called Gonggong, it wasn't this name before, it seems to be called Kang Hui!" ”
"Ma Mu said that when we join Youxiong, we will leave a name called Gonggong, and I will be called Gonggong in the future." This kid is a little taller than Rong, but not that strong, because the Gonggong clan is on the edge of the big river, this kid can paddle before, and the water is not bad.
Su Yang scratched his head, the name of Gonggong can't be changed casually, after so long, he has already reacted. The legendary ancient god of water is the pronunciation of "Gonggong", and the corresponding god of fire is pronounced "Zhurong".
But now the child in front of him is called Gonggong, and he is arguing with another child, messy, messy, is it a coincidence or is he thinking too much?
"Okay, co-workers, you can take the kids to paddle, be safe, don't go to deep water."
He instructed him, and after the co-worker and some children left, he called Rong over and said, "Rong, you will also change your name in the future, and you will be called Zhu Rong." ”
The pronunciation of Zhu, in this period, represents sacrifice, to the effect that communicating with the gods, telling the gods what they are asking for, and knowing the rituals to be performed. He has now added a blessing to Rong, which is definitely a stroke of genius, just like a blessing.
"Zhu Rong, good name, good name. Su, I will be called Zhurong in the future. ”
Looking at Zhu Rong, who was extremely excited, Su Yang shook his head, saying that water and fire are incompatible, and I don't know what the relationship between these two children will be in the future?
However, with Zhu Rong's daily persistence, more children learned to hit flint and make fires; And now that the co-workers are paddling with the children, maybe they can develop a water army in the future.
Without thinking much about it, he also went to the river to paddle to cool off, and by the way, he arranged for someone to fertilize the crops, and the fertilizer used was the residue left over from the oil extraction of camellia fruit. The growth of rice is also good, and this year is considered to be a good harvest!
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and he came back from the Youyan clan, bringing back more than 30 catties of salt, and there were six clansmen from the Youyan clan, who were either weak or old, but Su Yang was overjoyed, and he didn't expect it to happen.
He hurriedly invited the six people to rest under the wooden shed, brought food and water, and then asked, "Dare to ask a few elders, have you ever dug a salt mine?" ”
"I've been digging for salt all the time."
Although the people with the Yan clan will definitely dig for salt, but now that they have confirmed it in person, Su Yang is still very happy that he can mine salt at any time.
In addition, these days, he also asked the people to pay attention to whether there were other salt mines, and if they could find them nearby, it would be the best. It would be even better if you could discover the land of salt.
And Suga was feeling the changes in the tribe at this time, Su Yang had done it to merge so many tribes, and everyone was full of energy, she had only been away for a few days, and she felt a big change. Back up to last year, before the start of winter, it was just a forest everywhere.
"Elders, what did you bring out?"
Su Yang was surprised to see an old man from the Yan clan grab a handful of granules, which was a bit like the processed bitter mustard tea in later generations, but it was a little smaller, black in color.
When these particles are sprinkled into the clay pot, the boiling water inside turns amber in a matter of moments, which is a magical feeling.
"Sue, this is a kind of tree cut from the mountain, in winter, the insects eat the leaves, and there are these insect droppings, which can be soaked in water to drink and quench thirst."
It took him a long time to understand, and he made sure again and again that this was not some kind of tea, it was really worm feces, which was used to soak in water, which was too much!
However, the six people who have the salt clan drank a lot, and said that the entire Youyan clan would drink it when it was hot, and if they were dizzy from the sun, they would be sober after drinking this.
"Is it really so amazing that it can quench your thirst?" Su Yang didn't resist the temptation, he took a sip, he didn't expect that the taste was actually very good, there was a very peculiar fragrance, and after drinking it, the aftertaste was full of fragrance, which was unforgettable.
