Chapter 0042 Build a city wall
The construction of the wall began, and it was a big event in the tribe of God!
After eating early in the morning, Gu Yuan gathered more than a dozen people from the leadership together, and in the process of arranging tasks, he especially emphasized that the old man should not stop making pottery, and that one more pottery can be used to change one more population. There is also the smelting of the old man with an axe and the casting of a young man with a fist, which is a symbol of force, and more knives, swords, hooks, sickles and arrows, the more combat effectiveness.
At the beginning of the selection of workers, the night witch reported that there were 56 elderly people who could not work, and 63 children who could not work and women who could not work because they had just given birth and were breastfeeding. A total of 108 young and middle-aged women from the tribes brought with them are now pregnant, and naturally they will not be able to participate in the heavy manual labor of building the wall for the time being.
"Hehehe...... What a joyous event! 108 pregnant women means that we will have at least 108 more people in God's tribe in the future. This is really thanks to the merit of the Spring Festival! They were allowed to skip manual labor, and each of them added a vegetable soup and a fruit. Eating more meat is not good for the development of the fetus!"
As soon as the chief's order was passed down, it was immediately greeted with the gratitude of the women and the envy of the men. It also caused even more sadness for those women who also went to the spring party and were very young, but even had no children. For this reason, Gu Yuan was begged many times by the Night Old Witch, the Autumn Wizard, the Mountain Lady and others, asking him to comfort the childless women who did not eat or drink, but only cried.
Although Gu Yuan is not good at doing women's work, especially childbirth work, he thought of using medicine, pretending to help them check their bodies, and then said that if they didn't conceive a child, they didn't blame her and blame men, which made those women believe it, and they put their hearts and minds, and they had no problem, if they met a few more men, they would conceive children like others, and they would definitely be pregnant at the spring party next year!
Gu Yuan personally wielded a brand-new but not very good-looking shovel to dig the earth, and the labor army he led numbered 566 people, building walls in groups and sections. The procedures for building walls are all designed and taught by Gu Yuan, and everyone who participates in the labor knows it. There are still more women than men among these people, and the ratio of men to women is basically 1:4.
The water was put out of the trench, and then the construction of the wall began. The first step is to dig the earth and mud five meters outside the wall, and fill the mud with hay. The second step is to ram the mud, step on it with people and oxen, and step on the mud of Xinhe repeatedly to mature and sticky. The third step is to build a wall of mature mud into a wall that is three meters wide and nine meters high. Cover the top of the wall with a layer of hay and let the hay hang down on both sides of the wall, so as to reduce the erosion and destruction of the roof of the wall by rainwater.
In the process of working, Gu Yuan found that he underestimated the labor talent and energy of these subordinates, and they were all capable. A little boy of eleven or twelve years old is worthy of the adult male labor of modern man. He is not as good as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in manual work!
The tasks planned every day can be completed in advance, and with quality and quantity!
Therefore, Gu Yuan is not ready to increase the amount of labor, so it will be easier to take it easy! Anyway, it will be completed by the beginning of spring next year. Men are encouraged to go around the new tribe in their free time, nominally to contact more feelings, and now there are multiple tribes of people are one family! In fact, it is to go to different tribes to flirt with girls! Each man has the task of four beautiful women, and strive to complete it!
The standard for completing the task of flirting with girls is that you can take beautiful women to the grove to "pop" and "roar" in your spare time. Men who complete the task can directly apply to Gu Yuan for military merit awards, which are "Meritorious Stars"! Gu Yuan designed and cast many bronze "Meritorious Stars" as medals to encourage tribal members to love labor, kill enemies bravely, be loyal and kind, and so on.
In the autumn, due to the destruction of the stegosaurus herd and the steppe wolf tribe, the agriculture and animal husbandry of the god tribe were hit hard, and they did not get a bumper harvest! Some peanuts, millet, pumpkins, winter melons, etc., were harvested, which were mainly kept as seeds for the next year, and there was not much to eat.
The herds of cattle, sheep, rabbits and pheasants are not well developed, which means that these animals can no longer be used for food this winter. For the first time, Gu Yuan was worried about the problem of wintering the existing 933 people in his tribe. The mountain fruits and wild vegetables are almost collected, and they are very rich, but there is not enough meat.
"Chief, send five men from each group to fish and hunt! I have to kill cattle and sheep, but it will be distressing!"
At the leadership meeting, the Qiu Junshi, the original Qiu Wizard, proposed a plan to Gu Yuan. After returning to the tribe, Gu Yuan made it clear that Qiu was the military advisor in the Shenwei camp, so the autumn wizard was changed to the Qiu military division. The night witch is still the only wizard, doing some things such as healing, exorcism, dispelling evil spirits, midwifery, healing, etc., and has already brought two apprentices, that is, two middle-aged women who carry her all the time.
After discussion, Gu Yuan was ready to adopt this opinion. Before he could inform the Stone Palm Hunters to select people from each group to hunt and issue an order to build a wall and hunt at the same time, the Bird King suddenly came to the police. Then, the dragon queen also came to call the police, and finally the scout of the southern outpost came to report.
There was a group of long-haired cattle coming from the south, about 500 of them breaking into our land, and now they had avoided the guards and dragons of the southern outposts, and had gone straight north to the Protoss Palace, which was still 20 miles away.
"500 heads, have you scouted clearly, are you sure it's not a big herd?" Gu Yuan asked as if he was snickering in his heart.
"Look back, sure! The big herd is far away from us, this should be a small group of big cows!"
"Are you moving fast?"
"Don't be fast! Stop and go, meet grass to eat, meet water to drink! and ...... There are fights on the road, and there are fights, and sometimes there are too many fights, and the fights evolve into group fights!"
"Hehehe...... This is a small stock of death! It is the winter food sent to us by heaven! There is meat, fur and mattress!"
"Ah, chief, if we hunt this herd of bison, will we lose too many of our men?" asked the white leader, the mulberry leader, and the peasant leader, all a little surprised.
"Hehehe...... No, don't worry!" Gu Yuan said this, and he already knew it!
Gu Yuan immediately refreshed himself, and sent scouts to observe again to see if the herd had changed direction and how much area it could occupy when traveling. The horse was riding quickly, and after a while, the two scouts came back, saying that they were walking about five miles west of the Protoss Palace, and the cattle were five hundred meters wide from east to west, and they basically walked forward in a row.
Gu Yuan immediately commanded all the members of the wall to rush to the southwest, where they began to set up hunting grounds, dig traps, bury bamboo sticks, pull tree bows, hang arrows, and tie ropes. Then on the north and west sides, dry branches are placed in them, all of which are selected with grease branches, and the firewood and grass piles are connected together to ensure that they burn to the end after the fire.
Estimating that the time was almost up, Gu Yuan climbed a tall tree, raised a telescope to observe, and could already see the chaotic smoke and dust raised on the ground.
