Chapter 228: The Great Celebration Plan

The land of the new village is level, the planning is orderly, and two streams from the vicinity pass through the village, and there are still a few large trees to decorate the shade in it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The walled gate has four gates, southeast, northwest and northwest. There are a total of 12 watchtowers on all sides. In addition to a watchtower at each of the four corners of the village, there is one every twenty-five meters on both sides of the walled gate. In this way, all the walls are covered by the fire of arrows, and they are safe.

Lambra installed the design of the wheels on the walled gate. The way to make the walled door into a horizontal push is also an innovation.

When completed, this stockade will be a symbol of the highest productivity of the tribe.

When the stockade is built, Bihu should also bring back another part of the people by the Taijiang River. At that time, the conquest of the boat people, the beast hunting, and the construction labor will be held together, and the initiation ceremony of dozens of slaves will also be put together. Wang Chuan planned to hold a grand celebration at that time, and by the way, the dragon totem was formalized.

The development of the tribe to this day can be regarded as a new level. Naturally, the scale of this celebration should not be small, and all kinds of preparations should also be complete.

At that time, the Shenlong Temple will be the center of the celebration, and Wang Chuan came out of the new village and prepared to go to the Shenlong Temple to see how the Shenlong Temple was decorated.

When passing by a few caves, Wang Chuan first went to a few caves to have a look.

Seven or eight caves were dug on this row of hillsides, and brick kilns, tile kilns, charcoal kilns, lime kilns, and ceramic kilns were all separated. This is also a construction site, and the elders of several tribes are in charge. They were all taught by Wang Chuan, and when they were busy, they would collectively help and perform their own duties. Now the tribe is not building, and there is hardly a ceasefire in these caves.

Wang Chuan asked about their work arrangements, and finally went to the ceramic kiln.

When the pottery is fired in a kiln, the temperature is higher, and the color and quality of the pottery become better. After the potter's wheel was used in the later period, the yield and the quality of the pottery were also higher.

Wang Chuan needed pots of different sizes, jars and other pottery to hold different things. He didn't have time to come here to try out the production before, so Ling volunteered to come here to ponder, and after such a long time, Wang Chuan was ready to see the effect.

Pottery embryo making here, only a few nimble women with a few half-grown children are in charge. The way of matching the old and the young is the norm in almost all jobs in the tribe. This can increase the number of people and also facilitate the inheritance of various skills.

Nowadays, pottery is still fired with ordinary clay, but the clay is crushed with a stone mill before the clay is formed, so that the texture of the fired pottery is finer and easier to glaze.

The use of a pottery runner makes embryo making easy. When Wang Chuan looked at it in the past, he saw that the large and small pottery embryos made in the early stage had been put into the cave to dry.

Wang Chuan went in to look at the round and found that the pottery embryo was still generally small. He asked for a large pot of pottery still not available. There are wide and only low clay pots.

Ling explained, "We wanted to make it bigger, but it was too big for us to do it, and the potter's wheel couldn't turn. ”

Wang Chuan smiled dumbly. It seems that the Spirit has tried, but his mind is still not flexible enough.

The potter's wheels I made before were all one foot wide and direct. The centrifugal force of such a diameter is naturally limited, and the force to rotate the larger clay embryo will naturally be insufficient. In addition, there are all women here, and their strength is smaller, so they naturally make a heavier clay pot. To solve the problem, just change the potter's wheel.

Wang Chuan suddenly felt that if he got a huge water tank out and put it on a celebration or market, the shocking effect would definitely not be bad.

Wang Chuan said: "You go and move a few wheels, I'll get one for you." ”

The spirit went away in doubt. It didn't take long for a few wheels to be moved.

In the past, when there were no wheels, potter's wheels were fired. Now that there are wheels, you can use them as potter's wheels. Automatic rotators are more difficult to do, but manual rotators basically just need to keep the center of the wheel from moving.

The wheels are fixed and the upward-facing side of the wheels is smoothed with mud. After putting a layer of animal skin on top, Wang Chuan used ready-made clay to pinch a bottom as big as a wheel. Let the perch turn the wheels. The spokes under the wheels are just as hard as they can be clutched, and it's not hard to grip them. Because the wheels are larger, they don't have much effort to turn. Wang Chuan used the method of wire rod to knead the pottery wall on it.

In order to make the pottery jar bigger, Wang Chuan carefully pinched a big belly shape to come out. As soon as it was pinched out, this jar was indeed several times larger than all the previous pottery.

The pottery embryo was pinched, Wang Chuan thought about it, and prepared to draw a dragon with iron ore powder on it. When the tank burns out, a fiery dragon will appear on it. If it echoes the scene in the Dragon Temple, it will appear at the festival again...... Wang Chuan felt that the scene should be very impressive.

The pottery embryo should be dried in the shade before painting, Wang Chuan put down the pottery embryo, waited for the shade to dry and then painted, and came to the Shenlong Temple by himself.

The temple is a brick house. The wall is seven meters high, the top is ten meters high, and it covers an area of nearly 200 square meters. The temple has doors and no windows, and it is white inside and out. The entrance of the temple is a square of thousands of square meters, and the inside and outside of the temple are paved with stone slabs.

At the entrance of the temple, the stone hammer with a few cripples like him was clanging two large stones. A stone is almost formed, about the appearance of a baby elephant. The other stone is supposed to look like a wolfdog. Wang Chuan had previously drawn lines on it with ink and asked them to tap it little by little.

Of course, it won't look too much like knocking it out. A statue of a baby elephant has been made at the door of the council chamber. The trunk of the elephant is like a carrot, the head is a spherical shape, and the body is another large spherical shape. The limbs are joined together because it takes too much time to carve them out.

The baby elephant likes this statue quite a lot, and Wang Chuan also thinks it is quite simple and clumsy, very prehistoric style.

Wang Chuan's original idea of carving the stone statue of the baby elephant at that time was to find a companion for the baby elephant. But Ah Mu didn't know what to think, and wanted to put one at the gate of the Shenlong Temple. Wang Chuan felt that one was not good, so he simply put two, and the other one came out like a wolf dog according to Wolf Ting's wishes. As for whether it is a wolf or a bear, that Wang Chuan can't care.

When Shi Hammer saw Wang Chuan coming, he respectfully stopped and said hello, and then asked Wang Chuan's opinion.

Wang Chuan pointed and pointed a few mud dots on the dog's head, and the stone hammer was clear, and the person next to him beat it meticulously.

What Qi admires most about the river tribe is that the cripples here can live proudly and well.

The two entered the temple gate, and Qi asked in a low voice, "How did he get hurt?" ”

Wang Chuan looked at the temple and said, "He was a prisoner, and when he was captured, it seemed that I injured his leg. He was a slave first, and if he couldn't do anything else, he was responsible for hammering stones. Later, when he defended the tribe and killed the enemy, we naturalized him. Now he is married to a woman and has heard that he is pregnant with a child. Seeing that it was inconvenient for him to come to the Shenlong Temple, his mother specially gave him a wheelbarrow, and asked his woman to push him back and forth every day. He's now the first in the tribe to have a car. ”

The walls of the temple are also white, and there is nothing except a brick altar and an empty shrine. Don't talk about this, the temple hasn't even made a plaque yet. Wang Chuan casually talked about the stone hammer, thinking about how big the plaque should be and how to decorate the temple.

Qi looked at the stone hammer that struck the stone and fell into deep thought.
