Chapter 225, Row 1 Completed
"Then give it a try."
Zi Yi didn't understand.
However, it was Zwan who got hurt anyway.
"Yes! Thank you, sir!"
"You guys, come here for a second."
Ignoring Ziwang's thanks, Ziyi immediately called over several clansmen.
"Okay!"
He didn't summon goblins, but several new tribesmen who were about the same height as goblins.
When the others came over, Zi Yi pointed at Zi Wang.
"You all cooperate with him to create some wounds."
"what?"
Several tribesmen were stunned, then followed his finger to Ziwang.
Ziwang first pointed to his calf.
"Come on! Now thrust the spear in here! Make sure it goes in at least a finger joint!"
"what?"
Several clansmen then looked at Ziyi.
Do you really want to stab me?
Ziwang is indeed a ruthless person.
There's no risk of wound infection.
Li Mosi looked around.
The old man stood with his arms crossed, watching with great interest.
Haki turned his head.
Zi'an frowned.
"If you injure your calf now, how are you going to get your breastplate back to the tribe?"
"fine!"
Zivan shook his head quickly.
"Stabbing here won't have too much of an impact, and now that I've stabbed him, the path will match up."
Hearing this, Zi'an didn't know what to say.
Zi Yi didn't know what to say.
He looked at several members of his clan and spoke.
"Listen to him, stab him."
Several new tribesmen nodded and looked at Ziwang with their spears raised.
"Then should I get stabbed?"
"quick!"
Ziwan was already tense.
The clansmen stabbed out.
"Ah~"
In the end, he had a deep stab wound and several cuts.
This young man is really ruthless to himself!
The old man was amazed.
After treating his injuries, Zwan tore some strips of cloth from his own body to bandage them.
After he finished bandaging the wound, the convoy had also finished loading its cargo.
The old man led the team off.
The remaining tribespeople went about their work or training.
About an hour later, the villagers had dug a pit about half a meter deep.
"The hole here is a bit shallow! Dig a little deeper!"
"Why is there such a big slope here?"
Without Li Mosi and the other three needing to intervene, Farol, who was in charge of supervision, guided the citizens to begin making modifications.
Although Farol doesn't quite understand the final effect of the new house yet, he has lived for so many years and knows very well how to make an earthen house!
The foundation pit was quickly repaired.
After this second inspection, Farol turned around and went to the four people, including Li Moss, to report.
"Sir, the pit is dug."
Li Mosi did not speak.
Zi Yi consciously looked up at Farol.
"Okay, now go get those tools."
As he spoke, he pointed to the new rammed earth tools the carpenters had made.
Both single-person tamping pestles and multi-person tamping tree stumps are available.
Under Zi Yi's command, the people filled in a layer of soil and then compacted it.
After the two layers were compacted, he led the people to erect the pillars.
Several people supported a newly made pillar by a carpenter, ensuring that it was in the position Li Mosi had designated.
Several people filled the empty space next to the pillar with soil, and two people quickly tamped it down with pestles.
Once the pillars of the first house were erected, the people quickly tamped down and leveled the ground where the house stood.
Then, following Li Mosi's predetermined location, they began working on the pillars for the next household.
Once all the pillars were erected and the pit was filled and compacted, Zi Yi led the people to install the tree branches that had been taken down from their homes into the new homes.
It took a lot of work to dig out the pillars, but these walls were just like a large bamboo basket woven from tree branches.
Soon, the branches and wooden frame of the old wall were connected to the pillars of the new house.
Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!
Next, clay was applied to the inside and outside of the tree branch wall to make the new house look like the old house.
This step does not involve the construction of the new house.
The people did it very skillfully.
Zi Yi then directed the stonemasons to begin laying bricks.
The two longer walls are fine, but the shorter walls have to support the log roof.
We must do this well.
The stonemason received the order and immediately led a group of his people to begin work.
He would speak up immediately if there was any problem, making sure that Li Mosi and the other three were fully informed.
"Why is this section crooked? Rebuild it!"
"Don't put so much clay on! Scrape it off!"
"Stand close to the wall! Don't leave any gaps between the bricks and the wall!"
They didn't have many tools, so they just used their hands to spread clay and lay bricks.
Since most of the bricklayers were semi-laborers, while the full-time laborers were busy hauling clay and straw from the other two territories, the scene looked more like goblins doing work than green people.
With nothing else to do, the carpenters, under the guidance of the stonemasons, began to lead people in building a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) inside the house.
With readily available standard stone bricks, this task was not difficult at all.
Just be careful not to fall when building the chimney.
Li Mosi also personally confirmed it from time to time.
After he confirmed that there were no problems, the carpenter led his men to seal the roof of the kang (heated brick bed) and conduct a smoke extraction test.
Everything is going smooth.
However, compared to brick walls, the structure of a kang (heated brick bed) is still quite complex.
After the roof of the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) was sealed, clay had already been piled up outside the walls.
The clay they are using now is all from their stock, so they don't need to worry about it being too wet.
After the autumn harvest, the villagers dug the clay out of the wasteland and kept it in the shed, maintaining a state that was neither too dry nor too wet.
Just paste it on directly and you're done.
As for the dry clay removed from the old house, you can mix it in now, or break it up and use it together with newly mined clay later.
The people don't bother with elaborate carvings.
The only thing limiting their construction speed was the efficiency of their transport fleets.
Yesterday, I traveled all day with Li Mosi and the other three, and we are still resting under the care of the coachman.
The old man left again with the tribe's carriages and horses.
The people could only transport goods by handcart.
The handcart has a limited load capacity, and the clay is quite dense, so it can only be used for small-volume, frequent transport.
If it weren't for the large number of people in the community, who could push a cart together, we probably wouldn't have been able to finish transporting everything even if we started a day earlier.
Every time clay arrived, the people in charge of construction used it all up within minutes.
The carpenters took a break and then worked again, still managing to cut all the logs used for building the roof in half beforehand.
They had no choice but to start smearing mud again.
As noon passed, the sun began to set slightly in the west.
The first row of new houses is finally almost finished.
Li Mosi carefully checked and confirmed that the wall thickness met the requirements. She then looked up at the empty roof opening.
"Farol, can we put the roof up now?"
That's all it takes to complete the progress bar.
It's really uncomfortable to keep it.
"I don't know, sir. This is the first time I've ever put a wooden roof on a house like this."
Farol gave an honest and high-quality answer.
But just because he doesn't know doesn't mean he doesn't know who does.
He turned to look at the stonemason.
"Steklin! Can we put the roof up now?!"
"Huh? Let me see."
Stecklin weighed the fresh log that the carpenter had cut in his hand, then looked around the newly built mud wall inside and out.
"No problem! You can put it in!"
"OK."
Li Mosi nodded.
"Then bundle the hay and logs together and finish the roof!"
"Yes, sir!"
The stonemasons and carpenters carried logs and hay up the simple wooden scaffolding to complete the roofing of the new house one by one.
By the afternoon, the first row of earthen houses had been completed.
