Chapter 794 Linfeng Tribe (Three in One)(1/2)
The newly built road is four meters wide.
Counting the wheels, the donkeys in the tribe are nearly 1.4 meters wide at their widest point, and the two donkey carts add up to 2.8 meters. When two donkey carts meet, there must be at least a distance of about three meters to avoid them.
If the two donkey carts that meet each other are carrying something beyond the vehicle body, such as hay and newly harvested grain, then more space will be needed.
A width of about four meters is required for good avoidance.
Counting the cattle and horses that we may encounter in our lifetime, and the more spacious cars that will appear with the emergence of these animals, the four-meter road is still a bit narrow. It is best to build the road to a width of five meters.
.
However, after much deliberation, Han Cheng decided to set the road at four meters.
Because in this way, a lot of workload can be reduced.
As for the problem that when the tribe had ox carts and horse-drawn carriages, the roads would be too narrow for traffic, Han Cheng also considered it.
That is, every one mile, build an extra one meter wide and fifteen meters long on one side of the road, similar to an emergency lane or a road where buses stop.
In this way, when two overly large vehicles meet and cannot be avoided on normal roads, one of the vehicles can be parked here to give way.
Although this method is still a bit troublesome, compared with building a one-meter-wide road that is nearly 200 miles away, it has saved a lot of engineering work.
Han Cheng previously coaxed Bai Xuemei that when the Qingtong Expressway was built, he would hitch a donkey cart, bring food, walk and play all the way, and then go to the Tongshan residential area to see the colorful pools. He didn't know when he would be told by the child bride.
Got out.
Now the entire Qingque tribe knows about this, and they are very yearning for this way of traveling, as well as the purpose of traveling.
With this kind of expectation, the people in the tribe were very motivated when they were building roads.
During the first two days of road construction, the people in the tribe were not very good at it and were a bit fumbling. After two days, everyone gradually got used to these things, and the speed of road construction increased.
With the hard work of everyone, a spacious, flat, and straight road began to appear slowly in most places, and began to extend farther to the west.
This process went on for three days. After Lame, Shitou and others had mastered measuring the width of the road and using lime powder to circle the shape of the road, Han Cheng began to arrange for people to go to the Tongshan residential area and map the road.
The specifications and corresponding construction methods are taught to the people there.
Arrange manpower to start building the road from there. This method of joint construction at both ends can increase the speed a lot.
While doing this, we also need to transport the previous batch of grain and some corresponding tools there.
Because the current Tongshan residential area has not yet been fully developed, we will almost be able to be self-sufficient in food after this autumn harvest.
Now we have to hire the Wind Tribe and the neighboring tribes of the Wind Tribe to build the road, and we have to take care of the food. This will consume a lot of food, and we can't do it without transporting food from the main tribe there.
Things like salt, pottery, and other things that serve as wages also need to be transported.
Originally, Han Cheng planned to let Shang Mao and the others take the trade team on this trip, but later, after thinking about it carefully, Han Cheng decided to make the trip himself.
Because the Wind Tribe and the neighboring tribes of the Wind Tribe will implement an employment system that has never appeared in the tribe, Han Cheng is worried that Junior Brother Sha and the others will not do well and cause some trouble.
At the same time, follow this newly opened road that can be used by people and deer. You can also make small-scale adjustments to some unreasonable parts of the route that were actually taken before to make this road better.
.
This road was planned by him, and he is the only one who knows most about many places, so it is best for him to do such things.
For these reasons, one day later, Han Chenggong put on his rattan armor and once again joined the trade team members and headed towards the Tongshan residential area with many things...
After a lot of hard work, Han Cheng and the members of the trade team who brought many things arrived at the Tongshan residential area.
Junior Brother Sha and the others, who had been looking forward to Han Cheng for a long time, were all extremely excited when they saw Han Cheng and the others arriving.
Because they have been eager to start building roads.
Not only them, but after seeing the carrying capacity of the donkey cart, even the people in the trading team such as Mao and Shang became extremely looking forward to the construction of the Bronze Expressway.
Because after the construction is completed, at least they will not have to work so hard when traveling between the Qingque Lord tribe and the Tongshan residential area.
However, the thought of starting to build the Bronze Expressway earlier was just an idea after all. After they prepared everything, the people from the Wind Tribe who were expected to have arrived long ago, and the people from the neighboring Wind Tribe, were always confused.
Didn't come.
The last time Han Cheng and the others returned to the Qingque Lord tribe from the Tongshan residential area was on the third day after the old primitive people returned.
Because we had to determine the route on the way back and do some things like clearing the passage, it took ten or twenty days to go back all the way.
After staying in the main tribe for five or six days, he led the people from the main tribe and headed all the way to the Tongshan residential area. It took another five or six days on the road.
After counting back and forth like this, it has been almost a month since the old primitive people left the Tongshan residential area.
According to what the old primitive man told Mao before, they would come in no time.
But now, Han Cheng and the others have arrived, but they have not arrived.
What are these guys doing? Why did they just break up the appointment?
Did they encounter danger on the way to find the neighboring tribe, had something unexpected happen, or did they suddenly no longer want to do this?
Han Cheng frowned slightly and thought about this matter that he had not considered before.
It's probably not because he broke the appointment and didn't come on purpose.
This is not because Han Cheng has extraordinary confidence in his own charm, but because he has strong confidence in salt and pottery.
Through these years of experience, Han Cheng had a very intuitive feeling about how attractive these two things were to those tribes.
With these two things around, Han Cheng didn't think the people from the Wind Tribe would break the promise.
Moreover, judging from the previous performance of the old primitive people, they did not seem to want to break the contract.
Then the only thing left is to encounter an accident.
In this era, it is not uncommon to encounter any kind of accidents. Many things can cause death of people, or even the destruction of entire tribes...
Thinking of this, Han Chengcheng scratched his scalp in frustration.
Many things that I thought were good before have become like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water after being exposed like this...
Sure enough, plans can't keep up with changes. It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen!
Han Cheng thought depressedly.
After still not seeing the old primitive people coming the next day, Han Cheng decided not to wait any longer.
Instead, some manpower was transferred from the Tongshan residential area, and he took the people from the trade team to work directly.
Han Cheng and the people from the trade team will not stay here for too long.
What they are doing now is to demonstrate and build a section of the road first. After teaching these people who were drawn from the work of mining ore and smelting copper and tin, they will return to the main tribe.
Then some manpower will be dispatched from the main tribe and asked to come to the Tongshan residential area to carry out construction.
Although this will delay some work and have some impact on the main Qingque tribe, if the people from the Wind tribe are not in place, Han Cheng doesn't have many other options to think of.
When the road was being built here, Han Cheng would look to the northwest from time to time, hoping that the people from the Wind Tribe would come over.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Time flies and another five days have passed, and the people from the Wind Tribe still haven’t appeared...
"well!"
After throwing a copper shovel of soil onto the road, Han Cheng leaned on the copper shovel and looked northwest of the Tongshan residential area again, but there was still no movement there.
This is already the seventh day that Han Cheng and the others have started construction. The road has been built for nearly 800 meters.
These people who were recruited from the Tongshan residential area have mastered the skills of building roads. They only need to leave the stones here for 'marking' and find the exact location of the road for them.
As for Han Cheng and the others, they can pack their things and return.
It seems that we really can’t count on the Feng tribe.
Han Cheng sighed, sniffed slightly and thought with depression that this might be the most depressing thing he has done since he came to this era.
No, we have to go and find the Xunfeng Tribe.
Han Cheng is a fickle man. The decision he made originally suddenly changed again.
The main reason was that he had been planning for so long and just when everything seemed to be settled, something like this happened, which made him feel unwilling and wanted to know what happened to the Wind Tribe.
If something bad does happen, if you can figure out the reason, you can also take precautions.
After all, from the words of the old primitive people, it can be concluded that the place where they live is not particularly far from the Tongshan residential area.
But even so, it is not easy to find the Wind Tribe, because no one in the tribe has ever been to the Wind Tribe.
Without knowing the road and only knowing a very wide direction, relying on the current conditions, it would be really not easy to find a tribe where no more than a hundred people can live, unless you are very lucky.
It is precisely because of this that Han Cheng had never thought of looking for the Wind Tribe before.
Now that such thoughts have arisen, Han Cheng has no intention of continuing to build roads here.
After shouting here, an hour later, a group of people armed with weapons, many dogs, deer, food and other things walked out of the gate of the Tongshan residential area and headed northwest.
The further away from the Tongshan residential area, the scarcer the traces of people become.
The people in the trade team all opened their eyes wide, trying to find some traces left by the people of the Wind Tribe when they came and went in this deserted place...
Moving forward in time, the location is changed to the location of the Wind Tribe northwest of the Tongshan residential area.
The cheerful old primitive man returned to the tribe with five other equally cheerful people in a happy mood.
To be continued...
