Chapter 121: Rak Yu

Laying the foundation is easy to say, but it is more difficult to operate in practice, Su Yang didn't pay attention to it a little, and the foundation was buried in the wrong direction, which is absolutely not good. Although a special-shaped house can also be inhabited, if it is not square or rectangular, the structure may be unstable, and the beams above the roof are not easy to get.

There was no way, he had to plug in a straight bamboo stick, pull on the rope, and rigidly plan out the foundation line, which could be done in half a day, but in the end it took two days to get the foundation of the three rooms, which is still a miniature version.

Such a slow progress made Su Yang worried, and when the time came, he would not be able to keep up with his plan when the construction really started.

It seems that it is necessary to rush a batch of rejection horses in advance, first encircle the new tribe to ensure the safety of the tribesmen, and then talk about building houses.

Of course, the model has to be built, and if the model can't be done, there is no talk about the complex.

After the foundation is completed, the small version of the rammed earth building tool is also done, one meter long, one foot wide and high, this is a cuboid, one end is sealed, the other end is stuck, easy to adjust the width, the pestle of the stick is also ready.

Su Yang still used a straight bamboo pole to hang the top, pulled the line of the rammed wall, everything is ready only to owe the east wind, the so-called east wind is the sacrifice.

The elders came out of the cave, prayed to the gods, and then burned the bones, and they were all happy.

"Let's go!" Su Yang waved his hand, and immediately a clansman came over with soil and poured it on the foundation in the middle that he designated.

Then the upper plate built the soil, and after setting the position, he continued to dump the soil into it, until it was full, and Pabu and another big man, the two of them began to use sticks and pestles to pestle the soil, and vigorously performed miracles, and after a while, Su Yang felt that it was almost the same.

The plate building moved, and continued to pestle the soil along the foundation, and the speed was much faster than he imagined, perhaps because the primitive people had great strength, they were not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and they couldn't do technical work, but they were definitely excellent hard laborers.

It took less than a day for the earthen wall to be pestled, but the wall was only more than a meter high, and a room was only a few square meters in size, making a total of three rooms.

The entrance gate is set in the middle of the house, and a row of wooden sticks is placed across the force to erect a door for one person to pass, and after entering through this door, there is a door in the corner of the wall on the left and right, which can lead to the room on the left and right. This is a suite, the middle room is like a living room, and the left and right are the houses.

On the wall, when viewed from the side, it is made into a triangle, that is, the shape of the roof, and it is impossible to make a flat roof because it is impossible to drain the rainwater.

The three houses are horizontal, and the beams erected above are also horizontal, and the trunk is stuck in the earthen wall, which is the beam, and then a thinner wooden stick and wooden strip are tied between the beams, and you can also use bamboo sticks, and finally you can cover the reeds, and the main body is completed, which is as simple as that.

As for the ground is also soil, the same continuous use of wooden sticks and pestles, as long as the pestle is hard, it can be kept relatively dry, if possible, smear some lime, it can isolate moisture to a greater extent.

In addition, the windows were also left, just like the small windows in the prison, made of wood, mainly to let in some sunlight.

Then there is the last step, on the wall is using a wooden stick pestle, although it will look pitted, but it is durable, and there will be no layers of building marks.

Su Yang clapped his hands, from the start to the completion, a total of less than a week, of which the foundation was delayed for two days, although it was only a model house more than one meter high, because of the temperature, the soil has not dried, and the cow can be hit and collapsed, but he is already very satisfied.

Winter is not suitable for building houses in the first place, not even modern reinforced concrete, so he can't ask too much.

"Matsu, this earthen wall house is the house we will live in in the future, and it will be much bigger than the current one at that time." Su Yang said with some pride, no matter what, he had completed the model.

But the old man said, "It's better than that wood." ”

It turned out that Matsu preferred the previous wooden house, which was purely a personal preference.

Su Yang immediately said: "The wooden house will also be built, but there are many people living in the earthen house, and most of the people will live in the earthen house at that time." This is a very subtle statement, but compared to a wooden house, it is more convenient to build an earthen house, and it is also more sturdy, and it can withstand wind and rain.

Since he had a wooden house, it would only be a matter of adjusting the structure when the time came, but now the priority was to solve the problem of starting from scratch, so after getting the model of the earthen house, he turned to the stone house.

If you want to talk about the stone house, it would be perfect if you used large stone strips directly, but unfortunately there is none. Therefore, it can only be stacked with small pieces of stone, which is like using broken floor tiles to stick to the wall or the ground, piecing together a non-mainstream beauty.

The difficulty lies in how to put it together, and if primitive people had played Tetris, it would probably be easy to do, which is of course a joke.

The stone house still has to rely on him to get it, there is no lime, in fact, lime can also be fired, but it is best to find the coal after the matter, if you can find the open-pit coal mine, but it will be cool and crooked, this has to try luck, this piece he has not found for the time being, and he has not heard of it.

Now he had to mix clay with river sand and put together irregular stones and stack them up, but he didn't build a stone wall with an area of one square meter for a long time, and the thickness of the wall was only a dozen centimeters, which was really too difficult, and finally gave up directly.

However, stone houses cannot be made, but they can be used on roads, fences, squares, altars, and pens for domestic animals.

"Su Yang, you are really amazing." The merchant girl praised her heartily.

He shook off his soapy and washed hair, and said in his heart: "What my brother wants is worship, not anyone's love." "But this is just a lyric, you have to love it!

The quality of the three materials has been tried, and this is clear, so let the elders arrange for the clansmen to rub more ropes, as well as cut logs, and the thicker trunks are counted, but the smaller ones should be prepared more, and then they will be carried to the new tribe, and they will soon be able to form a rejection horse.

And in the process, he found the shortcomings of the tools, if you want to improve the speed of building a house, in addition to slowly cultivating proficiency, you can only rely on improving the tools, this thing can only be done by him, not by the hands of others, because this is using the brain.

The first thing he thought of was the hoe and the plowshare, which were two agricultural tools that operated in opposite directions, the hoe was basically used by people, and the plow was mostly used by oxen to pull.

You also have to add a shovel, but the shovel is generally called a foreign shovel, which is a thing passed down by foreigners. In fact, as early as a long, long time ago, the ancestors of the Huaxia human beings had invented a combination of hoes, plowshares, and shovels, which was called the plow.

I want to ask Su Yang how he knows about Leiyun, because this is what he invented now, well, in fact, it is still a high-imitation cottage, in order to solve the problem of farming and digging pits. But it's not that simple to make a rake!
