I am a Primitive Man

The early summer morning air is cool.

The wide river is filled with a layer of gauze-like white water vapor, and aquatic plants such as reeds and calamus become more mysterious after wearing a beautiful white gauze.

The morning breeze was blowing gently, sparkling on the big river, small water waves slapped gently towards the shore one after another, and the river water poured into the holes made by the fish, shrimp and eels on the shore It flowed out again, making a strange sound.

The voice came from a distance, and it got closer and closer. Some birds who were waiting for food to appear on the banks of the big river or in shallow water were frightened. They stretched their heads to look at the source of the voice for a while, and finally spread their wings and flew away. Go elsewhere and be a quiet Mitoriko.

Not long after the birds flew away, a group of people appeared by the river's edge.

The person walking in front was carrying a big bamboo raft with irregular edges.

When they came to the river, these people skillfully lowered the bamboo raft and pushed it into the water.

There is not one such bamboo raft, but five or six.

So after the seven or eight bamboo rafts were all pushed into the water, the relatively flat inlet by the river was immediately covered by a bamboo raft.

Then someone came here and was put into the water, fixed on the bamboo raft on the bank, and put a few thick wooden sticks vertically on the bamboo raft, with even gaps between the sticks.

After finishing these, some people began to load the strips of cloth brought by them onto the bamboo raft,

The linen is placed horizontally on several tree sticks, so as to prevent the linen from being wet by the water splashed from the gaps in the bamboo raft.

Amidst the busy schedule, a round of big and round red sun rose slowly and quickly from the northeast direction, leaping into the sky.

As the color of the sun above the sky faded from blood red, the sky gradually brightened, and the morning mist floating on the river faded and finally dissipated into nothingness.

And the people who were busy on the shore also packed their things.

After a simple and quick farewell, the people on the shore took off the ropes on the bamboo piles on the shore.

The person standing on the bamboo raft shouted a chant, and moved the boat pole in his hand to the bank, and the bamboo raft left the river bank and sailed towards the center of the river.

After a certain distance from the center of the river, he turned around and headed towards the upper reaches of the river.

The sun fell on the water, swaying a dazzling sparkle.

The leader of the Fire Tribe and the people in the tribe stood on the bank and watched the bamboo raft team that formed a line in the sparkling river and went further and further away. Apart from faint worries, there was more Full of expectations.

Looking forward to these departing people, using the sackcloth loaded on the bamboo raft to exchange for delicious salt, clothes made of soft fur, and yellow millet that is extremely delicious after adding water and cooking in a crock...

Thinking of these things, the leader of the Fire Tribe couldn't help but think of the extraordinarily wealthy, powerful and kind-hearted tribe that lived in the upper reaches of the river, and the beautiful changes that had taken place in his tribe since meeting them.

Except for some extra children born to the women of the tribe in the first year of meeting this tribe, the changes in other aspects are also very gratifying.

Among them, what pleased the leader of the Fire Tribe and everyone was the flax and linen in the tribe.

Because of the appearance of hemp and sackcloth, they can still obtain food for the tribe when the heavy snow falls, instead of having to hide in caves once winter comes as before, relying on the previously stored food. Food is tough.

Now, they can spin the retting husks into twine in caves during the winter, and then weave the twine into linen.

Wait until this time, and then send some people to the rich and friendly tribe on a bamboo raft carrying sackcloth, and exchange the sackcloth for many good things.

My own tribe, I really want to thank that rich tribe. It is because of their appearance that the life of my tribe will become much better than before...

Standing here watching the people paddling the bamboo raft go away,

After disappearing at a bend in the upper reaches of the river, the leader of the Fire Tribe stood here for a while, and then led the rest of the people who came to help carry things and see them off, all the way to the tribe.

Near the cave, there are patches of green hemp, which are about the same level as a person's waist.

Looking at the patches of green hemp, all members of the Fire Tribe, including the leader of the Fire Tribe, showed joyful expressions.

When walking along these hemp fields, he was even more cautious, for fear that he would accidentally step on the hemp seedlings...

At the same time, the Qingque Tribe is also having a small-scale farewell here.

The scale of the farewell this time was indeed small, because there were only eight people who were sent off, and there were no more than five or seven people who saw them off.

What I said to Junior Brother Sha, you must tell him...

Han Cheng looked at the eight clansmen who were about to go back to the Tongshan residential area, and exhorted them aloud.

After several people nodded repeatedly, they started to set off towards the residential area of ​​Tongshan.

Looking at the eight people who turned their heads three times at a step and gradually disappeared from sight, Han Cheng didn't feel much reluctance to part with them, because this scale was far from what he had experienced.

Not only was there not much reluctance, on the contrary, Han Cheng was still a little happy in his heart.

These joys come from the development of the tribe and the growth of everyone in the tribe.

After nearly ten years, Han Cheng has developed a deep and deep affection for the Qingque tribe. After all, it was built by him and gradually developed.

There is less hustle and bustle here, there is no intrigue and intrigue, and some clansmen who use their energy in one place and use their strength in one place appear to be particularly united.

There are witches who are shameless and disrespectful for old people, there are beautiful girls who are far from makeup, beauty and p-pictures, and the beautiful girls are amazing, and there is that mischievous bear in my own family. child……

I have taken root here...

It was precisely because of this that Han Cheng was so happy when he saw something beneficial to the tribe, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha weighing no less than five hundred catties.

After standing here for a while, since Bai Xuemei was pregnant with her second child, she knew whether it was because of excitement or some other indescribable reasons. Han Cheng, who seemed to be in good spirits, returned with the same good mood. tribe.

Some women in the tribe were peeling cocoons there. As the best craftsman, Bai Xuemei was of course among them.

Han Cheng went over, took Bai Xuemei to let her rest for a while, and after the daily instructions, he came to the side of the hammock woven with thick hemp rope and tied between two trees. Pea protested, picked it up from the hammock, and then lay down on it.

As for the barefoot little pea, Han Cheng put it on his belly.

Little Pea, who was still a little reluctant at first, suddenly became happy, and sat on the soft leather sofa called Father's Brand and shut up happily.

The little pea sitting on the leather sofa is made of real leather, holding a long and thin stick in his hand, lying there clumsily poking the ant nest under the tree.

After stabbing with such interest for a while, there was no movement gradually, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground.

Han Cheng quietly looked up and found that the little guy had fallen asleep.

Last night, Han Cheng told Little Pea the story about the crow drinking water. The little guy only fell asleep in the middle of the night, so it's normal to doze off like this today.

Bai Xuemei, who smoked there for a while, also followed Han Cheng's previous instructions and began to rest.

After looking left and right, he came towards the hammock where Han Cheng was.

At this time, Han Cheng was lying on the hammock looking at the clouds in the sky, and Little Pea was lying on Han Cheng's stomach, wanting to drool in sleep.

With Han Cheng's breathing, his belly swelled and fell, and the little peas on his belly swayed along with it, looking like they were sleeping on a soft cradle.

Seeing this scene, Han Cheng suddenly understood why the little guy fell asleep so quickly. If such a good external environment is put on him, he will definitely fall asleep too!

Bai Xuemei, who was walking all the way, looked at the father and son on the hammock, and stopped in her tracks. After a while, a silent smile appeared on her face.

She looked at it for a while, reached out and touched her slightly raised belly for a while, and walked lightly to the edge of the hammock.

He and Han Cheng looked at each other, and reached out to pick up Xiao Wandou, preparing to put her on the kang in the house to sleep.

She was worried that Han Cheng would be uncomfortable if he slept like this for a long time.

It's okay, just sleep like this, you go to the kang and get a thin leather bag.

Han Cheng waved his hand slightly to stop Bai Xuemei's movements, and said softly.

Bai Xuemei turned around and walked towards the room where they lived. After a while, she came out with a piece of fur that had been tanned and looked soft.

This piece of fur is made of several pieces of leather stitched together, which is equivalent to the existence of a small thin quilt in later generations. It is suitable to cover the body at this time.

Bai Xuemei tore off the animal skin quilt, and gently covered Xiaowandou and Han Cheng.

Then he didn't speak, just stood here quietly, looking at Han Cheng and the sleeping little pea, the smile on his face could not be erased.

After standing here for a while, Bai Xuemei continued to go back to the spinning place for spinning.

However, unlike before when she was concentrating, now she has to look up at the hammock after a while...

Han Cheng was lying on the hammock, feeling very peaceful in his heart. This kind of time when he was separated from his mobile phone and computer and didn't have to worry too much about things was really beautiful.

Reaching out his hand to gently pull the thin-skinned quilt that had slipped from Xiao Wandou's body, Han Cheng moved his body a few times in a small range to make himself sleep more comfortably.

During this leisurely and reassuring time, Han Cheng, who was lying on the hammock, became very distant.

It feels very comfortable not to think about anything deliberately, and to let your thoughts wander aimlessly between half awake and half asleep.

The most wandering thoughts are about the Tongshan residential area, because this is a relatively important event that happened in the Qingque tribe in the recent period.

Time to start thinking about the donkey cart thing.

Han Cheng, who was lying on the hammock, thought in his heart after his thoughts drifted for a while.

The reason why this thought arose at this time was because he thought of the way these eight people came back with copper and tin ingots on their backs, and by the way he remembered that when he discovered the copper ore in Tongshan, he led the people to carry the ore The taste of shipping back.

It's really not a good job to transport things over long distances by dry road.

Up to now, when the Qingque tribe transports food, copper ingots and tin ingots on a large scale from the Tongshan residential area, most of them wait until the heavy snow falls in winter, and use deer to pull the sledge.

Because people are relatively free at this time, and there are things like sledges, not only the transportation capacity is large, but also people are more relaxed.

However, due to seasonal restrictions, such delivery is not very convenient.

At least for all the time after the snow melted, the sledge would never be used again.

If you want to transport between the two under such circumstances, there is no other way except to carry it by hand on your shoulders and use livestock to carry it.

Such a transportation volume is of course far inferior to that of a sledge.

There is no way to solve the current predicament, that is, Han Cheng wanted to make donkey carts and deer carts.

On the premise of having sledges and the technology of making wooden wheels, it is not too difficult for the Qingque tribe to make a two-wheeled donkey cart.

Because two large wooden wheels are installed under the sledge, which is the basic structure of the donkey cart.

The rest, such as how to make the 'sledge' and the wooden wheel stronger, how to make the axle and the wooden wheel stronger and able to carry more weight, can be explored slowly. Not too big a problem.

The real problem is not the donkey cart and the donkeys that pull it, but the road.

Master Lu once said that if there are many people walking, there will be a way. It seems that it is not too difficult.

It's just that at this time, the footpath is only suitable for people to walk, not for wider donkey carts.

If you want the donkey cart to pass, you must build a more spacious, flat and solid road, otherwise, the donkey cart built will not go far and will be stuck on the wheels.

Building roads is not an easy task. You only need to look at how much manpower and material resources were used to build Chidao during the Qin Dynasty, how much money was spent on food, and how many people died.

What the Qin Dynasty built at that time was a fast road leading to the whole country, which far surpassed Han Cheng's small troubles. It seems that the two cannot be compared together.

But as long as you compare the current manpower and material resources of the Qingque Tribe and the scale of the tribe with Daqin, you can immediately conclude that this kind of road, which is similar to making small troubles, will be very difficult for the current Qingque Tribe. Huge project.

Even compared with the expansion of the Qingque tribe two years ago, it is not much easier than the tall wall built around the periphery.

It is precisely because of this that he has been intentionally or unintentionally neglecting the construction of deer carts or donkey carts for transportation between the Qingquezhu tribe and the Tongshan sub-district.

Thinking about it again now, and thinking deeply, apart from the eight people who returned from Tongshan as an inducement, the most fundamental reason was that they defeated the Bannong tribe a year ago and got a large number of people.

With these people, it is feasible to build a road with a distance of nearly two hundred miles between the Qingquezhu tribe and the Tongshan residential area.

Moreover, after such a road is built, it can not only be used to transport copper ingots and grains, but another important role is that it can greatly shorten the cost of traveling between the two. time.

Artificially 'shorten' the distance between the Qingque main tribe and the Tongshan residential area.

Even compared to transportation between two places, this function is even more important.

Because in this way, the connection between the Qingquezhu tribe and the Tongshan residential area will become closer.

This is not only conducive to the control and governance of the main tribe over the sub-tribes, but also in times of danger, relying on this road of communication between the two tribes, the two tribes can also support each other.

It can be said that as long as there is such a road, the relative isolation between the Qingque main tribe and the Tongshan residential area will be broken, and the two tribes can be better connected together, making the entire Qingque tribe become more united and closer.

After Emperor Zulong unified the six countries, he paid so much attention to the construction of the Qin Chi Road. Most of the purpose was to pass through such a Chi Road to firmly control the regained old land of the Six Kingdoms in his hands, and to unite the Six Kingdoms and the original Qin Dynasty. The countries are closely linked together to form a complete country.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, and this purpose also played a large part.

Han Cheng, who was lying on the hammock, slowly thought about these things, and the drowsiness that was still there gradually disappeared.

As a later generation, no matter from history or from the time he lived at that time, he can deeply appreciate the importance of roads or traffic.

This road seems to have to be built!

After it is built, it will be called the Bronze Expressway, leading from the Qingque Tribe to the Tongshan residential area.

Well, to call such a road that is destined to be completely inferior to the concrete roads that will pass through every village in the future is indeed a bit exaggerated, and it is suspected of boasting that the name does not match the reality.

But it is undeniable that such a road, in this era, does have cross-age significance, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the Bronze Highway.

Of course, the biggest reason for this is some bad tastes of Han Dashenzi, a time traveler from later generations, or a way to remember the life of later generations.

Thinking of these things, Han Cheng didn't just get up and go to discuss with Wu and senior brother impatiently.

Because this is a very big matter for the Qingque Tribe, and Han Cheng needs to think about it carefully, and consider all aspects as much as possible, and can't make a decision on the back of his head.

And at this time, Little Pea hadn't woken up yet, so if she got up, she would wake up the little guy.

Thinking this way, Han Cheng lay on the hammock and continued to think about the Bronze Expressway.

Compared with the leisurely and complacent not long ago, Han Cheng's mood is not so peaceful at this time.

Is this the so-called the sea is open to all rivers, tolerance is great, a wall stands on a thousand feet, and there is no desire to be strong?

It's a pity that Bai Xuemei's name has already been confirmed, and it's not too unexpected, otherwise it would be very good to change the name to Yourongmei...

Han Cheng thought this way, and then gradually fell asleep. During this period, Bai Xuemei came over and saw that both father and son were sleeping soundly, so she didn't make a sound to disturb them.

Gently pulled the thin animal skin quilt covering the two of them, sat on the side and tilted his head to look at it with a smile on his face for a while, then left here softly and continued to spin up...

Xiao Wandou woke up from her sleep, sat up slowly, rubbed her eyes with her fat little hands, then reached out to wipe the saliva from the corners of her mouth, she looked a little dazed.

dad……

After a while like this, Little Peas started calling Han Cheng who was asleep...

Putting the little pea on the ground, Han Cheng got off the hammock and stretched vigorously, and there were crackling sounds of bones on his body.

This kind of hammock woven out of thick hemp rope is good for lying and playing on it for a while, but not for a long time sleeping on it.

This is a lesson learned by Han Cheng, who has a sore back and back pain, from his own experience.

After standing still for a while, Han Cheng was hysterical, shook his dizzy head, scooped out half a pot of water and washed his face, and then he felt a lot more awake.

He didn't wipe his face either. He just walked to the position between the inner and outer walls with the water beads on his face, and looked at the rabbit circle. After seeing Wu's figure, Han Cheng didn't ask others, but He walked straight out of the courtyard and walked towards the surrounding fields.

Sure enough, not long after walking, Han Chengcheng saw Wu who was squatting in a field, holding a small bronze shovel with a wooden handle, weeding the millet there.

The shoveled grass was left on the ground and ignored, while the big grass was picked up by the witch and put together.

These can be taken back to feed the rabbit later.

Seeing Wu's hard work, and recalling the behavior of lying in the hammock and taking a nap not long ago, Han Dashenzi's face unexpectedly became a little hot.

However, the fever disappeared quickly.

Because Han Cheng gave himself some self-consolation in his heart-it was actually worthwhile for him to take a nap. After all, he thought of the donkey cart and the Bronze Expressway before going to bed. For a while, the contribution to the tribe is much greater.

Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt at ease, and even became a little bit more confident.

Where is this son of God sleeping? This is doing your best for the development of the tribe!

Sure enough, if people want to live with peace of mind and comfort, in addition to being able to think, they also need to be shameless...

The millet seedlings in the field had already exceeded their ankles. Han Cheng walked not far from Wu, squatted down one by one in the field, and while pulling weeds with his hands, he talked to Wu about the donkey cart and the Bronze Expressway.

As Han Cheng told, Wu's movement of shoveling grass gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.

Han Cheng knew that this matter could not be finished in a while, so he said that he and Wu found a place with shade, and sat on the ridge of the field to continue talking with Wu.

Wu's face was filled with joy from beginning to end.

This is not because he directly understood the things Han Cheng said, but because in the past, as long as Shen Ziyi said things to himself in such a serious manner, then the things that will be done next must be Things that are very important to the tribe and can bring great benefits to the tribe because of it.

Wu's experience is correct at all. After spending a lot of time to roughly understand what Han Cheng said, Wu couldn't help but cracked his toothless mouth and laughed, very happy.

Son of God, this road needs to be repaired quickly...

Wu's work is very characteristic of this era, that is, he does it as soon as he says it, and it is a mess of resoluteness.

After figuring out what Han Cheng said about the road and the great benefits that the donkey cart and deer cart could bring to the tribe, the grinning Wu wanted to build the road immediately.

However, Han Cheng didn't follow what Wu said, immediately summoned people to announce the matter, and then rushed to do it.

Because the construction of such a relatively wide road does not mean that it can be repaired immediately, and a series of preliminary preparations are required.

For example, determining the width of the road surface, determining the route, preparing the tools used for road construction, and the raw materials used for road construction, etc., all need to be determined first.

Fortunately, the Tongshan residential area has just entered the right track. Food production and other things have not been fully developed. The demand and pressure for transportation between the two places are not too great. The tribe has enough time, and it will take a long time to do this. It takes a lot of time, manpower and material resources to do things.

The route can be determined later. The most important thing to do now is to manufacture the donkey cart first.

Only after the donkey cart is built, can the width of the road be determined according to the width of the donkey cart.

However, according to Han Cheng's vision, the road built this time will be able to accommodate two donkey carts running side by side, and then extend a little further.

This is to prepare for the long-term development in the future.

The Qingque main tribe is close to the Yanshan Mountain, and the Tongshan residential area is close to the Tongshan Mountain. These two things are extremely important strategic resources for the tribe.

That is to say, as long as the two resources are not exhausted, the two tribes of Qingque main tribe and Tongshan sub-district will not decline easily. On the contrary, until the two resources are not exhausted, both places will become more prosperous.

As for the depletion of these two resources, recalling the mining speed at this time and the consumption of the two resources, Han Cheng feels that this is something that will not need to be considered for decades or even longer.

As the Qingquezhu tribe and the Tongshan residential area become prosperous, the demand for this road will become even greater in due time.

By that time, the tribe might have acquired cattle and horses that were bigger than donkeys.

The carts pulled by large animals are of course bigger than the donkey carts.

If the road is not built wider at this time, then the two vehicles will not be able to stagger when they meet, and the road will need to be rebuilt to widen the road surface, which will be time-consuming and laborious.

When Han Cheng and Wu came to the carpenter's room, the carpenter Lie and several other people who were mainly engaged in carpentry and weaving were weaving rattan armor with soft rattan in the shade of the open space outside the carpenter's room.

Rattan armor is complicated to weave, and because it is used to save lives, the quality requirements are very high, so the weaving speed is not fast.

For a master weaver like Lai, the fastest weaving is only two pairs a day, usually one and a half pairs.

As for these apprentices, it is normal to have one pair a day, and sometimes the hands are a little slower, and they can't even weave a pair.

This is still on the premise that someone specially collects and processes rattan.

If they were asked to collect vines again, the speed of weaving armor would become even slower.

But when working, you are not afraid of slowness, but of standing still. Although there are only seven rattan armors at most in one day, thanks to the tireless efforts of Lai and the other five carpenter apprentices, by now, there are almost one rattan armor in the tribe. Hundreds of pairs!

Calculated according to the population size of the Qingque tribe and the size of most tribes in this era that Han Cheng knew, nearly one hundred pairs of rattan armor can already form a rattan armor army!

Son of God! Witch!

Son of God! Witch!

With the arrival of Han Cheng and Wu, everyone who saw the two stood up and greeted them.

Han Cheng smiled and waved to everyone, signaling them to continue weaving here, then walked to Lie's side, watched Lie weaving the rattan armor for a while, then reached out and patted Lie's shoulder to signal him to follow him.

Lie put down the half of the rattan armor he had woven in his hand, got up, followed Han Cheng and Wu, and went to the house where the sledge and wheelbarrow were stored in the tribe.

Well, after the donkey cart is manufactured, this place can be called a parking lot...

The reason why Han Cheng didn't tell Lai about these things in front of the carpenter's room was because looking at the sledge and the wheelbarrow here could better explain the donkey cart and let Lai have a more intuitive feeling.

On the other hand, it is to prevent the other apprentices from being distracted and delaying the weaving of rattan armor.

Well, God Son Han is essentially a person who loves to watch other people's hard work...

Following what Han Cheng said, the lame eyes that seemed a little dazed because Han Cheng and Wu, the two giants of the tribe, came to find him together became brighter and brighter, and then they seemed to be flickering with light inside.

Lame with an excited expression, looked at the many sledges stored here, and then at the wheelbarrow over there, rubbing his hands back and forth excitedly.

So smart!

The Son of God is so wise!

I also once felt deeply regretful that the sledge could only be used when heavy snow fell, but this regret was just a regret, and I didn't think of any way to make up for this regret.

But now, with a few light words from the Son of God, this matter was resolved.

A wheelbarrow can run with round wheels and can be pushed by people, so why can't I think of putting wheels on the sledge?

In this way, even if there is no snow, the animals in the tribe can also pull this kind of sledge with wheels.

And one sledge can hold more things than four wheelbarrows.

Once such a thing is manufactured, then...

Son of God!

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, I came to Han Cheng and saluted Han Cheng deeply, and shouted respectfully to express my deep respect...
