The gift package in Lin Yuan's mouth was nothing else, it was the small group of bison calves they rescued from the mouth of the wild wolves, a total of 18.

Lin Yuan nicknamed these calves "Eighteen Good Men", and after he returned to Huadu, he immediately arranged for the slaves to build a large fence on the periphery of the camp and lock the Eighteen Good Men inside.

"Yes, remember to arrange a few slaves, who are responsible for taking these calves out to graze every morning, and put them in the fence at night, be careful not to take them out too far, and be sure to ensure the safety of each bison, by the way, send two hunters to take turns to stand guard near the fence, and anyone who enters the fence without my permission will be killed!"

Ye hurriedly nodded in agreement, he had never seen such a strict requirement from King Yan, it can be seen how important these little bison are in King Yan's mind, Ye naturally does not dare to slack off.

After arranging the bison, Lin Yuan realized that something seemed to be wrong with Anna today.

"Anna, you...... Nothing, right? ”

Lin Yuan patted Anna's shoulder, who was in a daze in the distance at this time.

Lin Yuan was so lined up, Anna was startled, her pretty face turned red, one hand touched her chest, and she said hesitantly:

"Ah...... It's okay...... It's okay, but I was worried about you last night, and I don't know what happened to you, and I didn't come back overnight, it turned out that I met a pack of wild wolves...... Such a dangerous thing, don't go out at night in the future. ”

Lin Yuan laughed, he quietly touched his neck, where the skin of the heart of the wolf pack was hanging, and said:

"It's okay, little meaning, you see, I'm not back yet......"

Anna was stunned and was just about to speak, when suddenly, the shouts of several primitive people not far away attracted Lin Yuan's attention.

"Oooh...... Yanwang ...... Wood!!! ”

The sound came from a short distance north of Huadu, next to the Great River.

Anna looked dazed, "...... What wood? Isn't there a swamp? There is nothing more than two great rivers that meet! How can there be a big tree? ”

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously and said:

"Who says there can't be big trees in a big river? Come, come with me, oh yes! Eggplant!! ”

Lin Yuan shouted at the eggplant in the distance who was directing the primitive people to build the foundation, "Eggplant! Come with me! Our wood has arrived! ”

He hurriedly put down what he was doing, and trotted all the way down the hill with Lin Yuan to the side of the big river.

This is a big river flowing out of the mountains, Lin Yuan named this river Jing River, and another confluence river named Wei River, which is taken from the meaning of "Jing Wei is distinct".

Big Tooth, with three or five slaves, waved vigorously to Lin Yuan by the river, shouting:

"Lord Yanwang...... Wowhaha! That old Shennong is still keeping the contract! Look, the wood we asked for has been delivered! ”

Daya pointed to the upper reaches of the Jing River, where thick logs floated one after another, about 50 paces apart, one after the other, floating down the river.

When the first log floated nearby, several slaves immediately jumped into the river, hung a rope on the log, tied the other end of the rope to a stone, and threw it on the riverbank, where a dozen other slaves picked it up and pulled the log ashore with force.

He leaned over and touched the log that had just been pulled up from the river, and couldn't help but sigh in amazement:

"Oops! Really nice wood...... When our Suiren clan was in the mountains before, it would take at least half a day to cut down such a big tree, Lord Yanwang, how did you do it? Did you inflict the miracle of the god of fire? ”

Big Tooth grinned on the side and said loudly:

"Haha, of course, our King Yan, wise and martial, did not sacrifice anyone, let the Shennong clan obediently cut down trees for us, you see, there are still upstream!"

Daya pointed to the upper reaches of the Jing River, where a few logs had floated down.

Eggplant couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart:

"King Yan, you are definitely the smartest person I have ever seen in my life, using river water to transport logs, why didn't I think of it, in this way, it not only saves the manpower used to move, but also saves time, it is simply a double win!"

Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and while saying something small, he walked to the log that had just been pulled up the river bank.

This is a straight and thick red pine, it should be the kind of tree that Lin Yuan looks at in the valley, this kind of red pine wood is older because of its long growth cycle and slow growth, but the wood is tough and strong, which is very suitable for the roof ridge beam of the house.

"Big Tooth, arrange for a few slaves to move the logs to that open field, yes, it's the place where the sun can be blotted, let them be neatly stacked, we must dry the wood as soon as possible, so that it can be used for construction!"

Big Tooth took the order and left, Lin Yuan stood on the shore with satisfaction, watching the slaves diligently pull and drag the logs, under the excited supervision of Big Tooth, they did not miss a single piece of wood.

Half a day passed in a flash, and there was finally no more timber floating in the upper reaches of the Jing River, Lin Yuan counted carefully, today the Shennong tribe cut down and transported more than 30 logs, except for a few thinner poplar trees, the rest are more than 100 years old trunks, which are used to build houses of very good materials.

It's just that the time for the Shennong clan to transport timber from the river this time is a little inconsistent with Lin Yuan's plan, according to Lin Yuan's idea, the Shennong clan will definitely delay the cutting thing again and again, because after all, they have already obtained Lin Yuan's pottery samples, no matter what, they should delay it for a few days before going to the logging, but what they didn't expect was that it was only the next day, and the logs were floating down from the upper reaches in a steady stream.

Did they find themselves unable to replicate the craftsmanship of pottery, and instead wanted to curry favor with the Yan? Or is it something else?

Lin Yuan couldn't guess, he pursed his lips, and arranged for 2 hunters to sentry on the road leading to the valley, no matter what, it was better to be careful of the Shennong clan.

He collected his attention a little, and focused on what was in front of him.

Lin Yuan arranged for the remaining slaves, in groups of four, to carry the sun-dried logs and walk back to the Huadu camp.

Now that the materials are basically ready, you can start building your house.

First of all, Lin Yuan inspected the foundation of the entire Huadu City, according to his requirements, the slaves kept using huge stones in the past few days, tied ropes, five people in a circle, with ropes to pull up the stones, and then smashed to the ground, in this way, has basically completely tamped the soil on the Huadu hills.

Lin Yuan summed up the existing materials in his hands and tried to come up with the best architectural plan.

The simple tents used in the previous migration process, that is definitely not good, first of all, you have to give up the use, not to mention the leakage of wind everywhere, once it is windy and rainy, the people who live in it and do not have a tent to stand in the rain are not much different.

And there are no natural caves here, there are plains everywhere, primitive people will naturally feel insecure, for primitive people who have been accustomed to the feeling of hiding in the hard stone walls of the cave, there is no shelter everywhere, it will give everyone the illusion that there will be enemies emerging at any time. At this point, Lin Yuan noticed some clues from the state of many Yan clan members who turned over and turned at night and couldn't sleep at night.

Therefore, the building that Lin Yuan wants basically has to meet the following basic attributes:

First, at least it should be spacious and atmospheric, and it should be able to shelter from the wind and rain.

Second, it should be strong and sturdy, which can guarantee at least a few decades of not falling, giving the people a sense of security.

With the above two basic ideas, Lin Yuan thought about it and figured out the existing materials in his hand.

According to the modern way of building houses, it seems that it is also possible, because there is clay, you can burn bricks, you can also build walls, but the main problem is that the production of clay is too low now, and they have not yet built a brick kiln to fire bricks, if you follow the experimental way of pottery, throw it in the fire, it may not be able to make the desired bricks, but may cause a waste of clay.

You must know that since the basic trade agreement with the Valley Clan Alliance was reached, pottery, which meant food and wood, if you had to sacrifice the progress of pottery production to produce bricks, Lin Yuan thought that this was really worth the loss.

He shook his head, rejecting his own idea.

Of course, it is not necessary to dismiss it entirely, and it is certainly not possible to use a lot of brick walls, but it is not bad to fire a small amount of brick-shaped pottery as the foundation of the house.

The basic idea was certain, Lin Yuan immediately arranged for personnel to start the construction work, he called Anna and Eggplant, and the three of them stood on the foundation of Huadu, looking down on the magnificent construction site at the moment.

Lin Yuan ...... I've always wanted to ask you, the wood...... How did you do that? I heard Big Tooth say that those Shennong primitive people are not good, how did you convince those barbarians? ”

Anna asked with a look of curiosity with a look of curiosity in the blink of wide, shining eyes.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and replied simply:

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and attack them unprepared."

Suddenly he slapped his thigh and exclaimed:

"What a sentence to know yourself and your opponent! Catch somebody off his guard! King Yan is really the reincarnation of the ancient god of fire, who has insight into all things and knows the past and the present! ”

Anna was suddenly startled by Eggplant's actions, and she made a grimace at Lin Yuan, meaning that you have fooled these primitive people, and they are about to become gods.

Lin Yuan laughed, then coughed instead, and said to Anna and Eggplant with a little seriousness:

"Haha, okay, let's get down to business, right now, there is an important matter to be handed over to the two of you, that is, to build our camp in Huadu as soon as possible...... Well, or our small city. ”

Anna's face reflected a light of expectation, she looked at Lin Yuan, and said with a look of adoration, "Great...... It was simply amazing, we finally didn't have to live in a tent! ”

Lin Yuan handed Anna a confident smile and said:

"Anna, you...... If you have more experience in your hometown, you are mainly responsible for the monitoring of the construction process, such as appearance, materials and so on. Lin Yuan said.

He wanted to say that Anna had modern experience, but as soon as he thought of the eggplant standing next to him, he changed the word to "hometown", which was a secret between them and the natives, and it must not be known to the natives.

Anna nodded in understanding, and then Lin Yuan said to the eggplant:

"Eggplant, during this time, I may have to borrow your Suiren clan, our labor force is insufficient, I hope you can support it."

He picked up his thick fist, struck it on his chest, and said loudly:

"What did King Yan say about this, the Suiren clan has long been a family with the Yan clan, what does King Yan need, just say, don't discuss with the eggplant!"

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the branch and drew a sketch on the ground.

It was a rough outline of a house, with a broad foundation topped by a few thick pillars, and then a beveled spire on top, and a simple sketch of the house was drawn.

Eggplant couldn't help but be amazed by Lin Yuan's painting skills, and Anna said with some curiosity:

"Yi? This one...... How does it look so ...... Familiar? ”

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth raised slightly, he knew that what Anna said was right, this was the best house that could be built under the current conditions, it was Lin Yuan's combination of classical Athens' classic Roman columns, and then combined with the ancient Chinese traditional eaves flying top shape.

Although it is a bit of a patchwork, Lin Yuan feels that this is the most suitable building under the current production level.

"Anna, you remember, the land below must be laid by the slaves, the soil must be tamped, and then these pillars will be made of those red pine trees sent by the Shennong clan this morning, well, remember to let the slaves remove the branches, and they must be round pillars."

Anna nodded, she was figuring out Lin Yuan's sketch on the ground.

"Eggplant, you let your Suiren clan, work harder, go to the clay mine to help carry some clay over, there are slaves digging there, so you only need to be responsible for carrying it, the more the better, all pile up there, it's the open space in front of the camp, right!"

He looked at the range Lin Yuan had demarcated, and then nodded.

Then Lin Yuan continued:

"After all this groundwork last night, we had a very important thing to do, which was to make the roof, which was a very difficult thing, and I didn't have any experience, only some general concepts, so we had to try to make a house like what I imagined! Okay, so be it, these days, everyone's main task is this, come on! ”

Anna and Eggplant nodded confidently and left.
