I Am a Chief in a Primitive Tribe

Chapter 105: Let you see the benefits of Tulou

Cement, bamboo, beams, pillars and other materials needed to build a house are ready.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Dongfeng is Mufeng's method, and he has to do everything himself.

Originally, Mufeng intended to build a large earthen building directly, but considering the area and the difficulty of construction, he had to change one to four.

And make a small one first, if there is any error in the middle, it can also prevent wasting materials.

The construction of earth buildings pays attention to being "sturdy." In addition to the particularly sturdy foundation, the wall foundation must be strong enough and thick enough.

In order to achieve this effect, Mufeng put the conventional adobe wall from 60 cm to 80 cm.

As a result, the difficulty of rammed earth to form a wall has also increased.

Fortunately, he did not simply borrow the rammed earth method of the previous life, but made an empty mold with bamboo slices, and put mixed hay, clay, and sand in the middle for ramming.

After the earth wall was formed, he removed the bamboo pieces and asked the people to find the stones, and put another circle of stones against the earth wall, with grass mud glued in the middle.

All this is simple to say, but it took the entire Jiang family's youthful two days!

However, these are simple compared to the inner layer.

Because the inner layer needs to be bonded with pure stone and cement.

This requires that the size of the stone to be searched cannot be too different, and the demand for cement is also large.

Fortunately, the tribe lacks nothing but stones and ashes.

No matter how much stone is in demand, there is no more stone surrounded by mountains on three sides.

As for plant ash, even if the tribe’s storage capacity is not enough, they can obtain materials locally and cut down some of the dry trees and hay.

Stones and plant ash, alone are the least scarce things in primitive society.

As the outer two-layer wall has taken shape, the construction workers in the tribe have probably seen what Mufeng is going to do.

What made them incomprehensible was what Mufeng could do to build them a "house" that was not much different from a cave.

Lihu and Mingguang deliberately asked Mu Feng, but they were worried that Mu Feng had said that they didn't understand and had to give up.

The "Jiang's three-story wall", which integrates the three exterior features of the Hakka earthen building, old rural adobe house, and stone attic in southern Yunnan that Mufeng has seen in his previous life, was finally completed in five days.

The "Mu Family Tulou" that Mu Feng wants to build has already begun to take shape.

The next step is to do the top.

Taking into account the actual situation, Mu Feng plans to use the second floor as a regular place for people, but only for storing some important materials and defending against foreign enemies.

This saves engineering effort.

The tulou occupies an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters, roughly showing a circle.

To do the roof, you need to build a house in the inner layer first, and then cover the whole wall of the house around the circle with black bamboo.

In order to reflect the windproof, waterproof and fireproof characteristics of the earth building as much as possible, he did not hesitate to let the tribesman work overtime to burn the cement, which was separated from the house by a stone wall.

The third floor of the earth building already has the characteristics of fireproof and waterproof.

But Mufeng wants to make the inner layer also have this function.

The walls are built with cement mixed with stones. Even if one or two of the houses have a problem, the fire will not spread to other rooms, and it is convenient for later repairs.

One by one, the Jiang clan members were still unfamiliar when they were covering the outer walls, but when they were pasting the walls to block the inner walls, the speed had already become faster.

This time, it didn't take two days, and the prototypes of the houses more than three meters high and almost the same height as the outer walls have been built.

Now, as long as the ceiling is capped, people can live inside.

However, what Mufeng wants to do is not to cap the roof, but to top the black-skin bamboo on the wall of the house surrounded by the tribesmen, and pave a layer of straw on the bamboo with hay, and then paste a layer on it Grass mud, compact and spread evenly.

Immediately afterwards, he asked the tribe to build a wall next to the outer wall of the roof to form a wall of about two meters high, and a circle of pillars was supported on the bamboo roof with black-skin bamboo.

The bamboo wall pillars are connected to the outer wall skin, and finally the roof is actually sealed.

The roof is naturally inclined from the inside to the outside along a certain slope, and then extends for more than one meter. It is all paved with bamboo branches, still covered with hay and mud, and the outermost layer is densely large. The leaves are thatched.

Finally, the "Mu's Tulou", which took about ten days before and after, was finally completed.

Seen from the outside, the entire earth building is like a stone bunker, with small windows on the upper and lower floors open on the bunker.

If you look at it from the air, the ground looks like a ring-shaped stone mound. Inside the stone mound is vaguely separated by square blocks, and there are more people entering and exiting from the middle.

After being in it, you will find that the inside is very bright and bright, especially the spire-shaped roof that gradually gathers from the bottom up gives people a thick, warm and practical feeling.

The ground is a concrete floor paved with stones mixed with cement, and it has been smoothed evenly with square planks, which is strong and comfortable.

Except for Mu Feng, all the people of the tribe were so excited that they couldn't speak.

Even if they had never seen the house again, they knew what the tulou was for now.

Lihu even said excitedly: "Warchief, is this the house you are talking about? With such a house, even if the rain lasts for a long time, we don't have to worry about it!"

Mu Feng smiled and nodded, but there was some regret in his heart, not because of the shortcomings of the Tulou, but because of the lack of knowledge of Lihu.

"Rainproof is nothing!" Mu Feng smiled, "As long as all of us live in the Tulou, and the people from the Mang Dragon Clan come again, there is nothing we can do!

Not only that, with this earthen building, we can let them retreat in the face of difficulties! "

"Really?" Lihu said excitedly.

Although he didn't doubt Mu Feng's words, he didn't know that this was just a house to live in. How could he defeat the enemy?

Mu Feng saw Lihu's doubts, and he was also determined to take this opportunity to teach the tribe how to use the Tulou in the future, turning his face and saying: "Hanshu, take a few people, go to the Tulou, let you see the benefits of the Tulou!"

"Yes!" Han Shu led a few people upstairs from the built-in simple stairs.

Mu Feng led Lihu and the others to the outside. He rushed inside and shouted: "Han Shu, have you seen the tree next to me? Shoot it with an arrow!"

"Warchief!" Lihu was puzzled, "They are in the house, what about the arrow..."

Before the words were over, with a "swish", a bamboo arrow swept straight to the trunk from the window!

"This..." Lihu was excited, and he understood Mu Feng's words.

"Such a house!" Lihu's face flushed with excitement, "If we Jiang clan live in, what else should we worry about!"

The people of other tribes also understood, the eyes looking at Mu Feng were full of enthusiasm, one by one kneeled on one knee and saluted upward with one hand.

"Great Chief!"

"Great Chief Daxian!"

"God bless the big ginger!"
