Chapter 381 Construction of Fire City
After passing through mountains and forests, and across snowy plains, when a plain appeared in front of the team, the Fire Tribe had reached their destination this time.
"Go east for three days and you will reach the East Sea."
Standing on a hillside, the Eighth Generation Shaman pointed east.
The Fifth Xuan tried hard to look, but his eyes could not see through the three-day road.
"There are mountains and ridges in the north, which stretch to the west for more than 20 days before gradually becoming flat."
The Eighth Generation Shaman pointed north and then led from north to west.
The Fifth Xuan nodded in the Bagua space. This section of the road was the way they came. He saw the mountains and ridges, which seemed to be an endless mountain range.
"There is a lake in the south, which can be reached in half a day. Further south is a river, which flows from west to east into the East China Sea. Although the river surface is frozen, it is very wide. Once the ice age is over, the river water will flow continuously, forming the waterway mentioned in the totem."
The Fifth Xuan looked south, still unable to see the river or lake, but the Eighth Generation Shaman had made it clear, and he was satisfied with the terrain.
"The Fire Tribe will be stationed here, and this place will be called the capital from now on."
The Fifth Xuan took it upon himself to name this place. From then on, this was the capital, the Fire Capital.
The Eighth Generation Shaman received the order and immediately had people stationed there, and began to plan the construction of the entire Fire Capital.
The Fire Tribe had been migrating for a long time, and had countless old places, so they already had their own set of plans for building a station.
The center of the settlement has always been the altar. There is a square to the south of the altar, which is used for grand sacrifices and to light totem fires. Further
south is the tribe's high-rise residence, and the rest of the houses are spread out around the entire altar, with four main streets and countless auxiliary streets.
Whenever the Fire Tribe builds a settlement, they must first build an altar, and this time is no exception. They even aimed at the source of the stone used for the altar base when exploring the way.
There are rocks in the north mountain, which can be used to build altars and houses.
Generally speaking, the Fifth Xuan would not interfere with these basic construction matters, but this time he did, just because it was the Fire Capital, the future royal court of the Fire Tribe.
In this era, powerful tribes such as the Ice Bear Tribe, the Dragon Tribe, and the Miao Tribe, although they did not claim to be kings or establish countries, they regarded themselves as overlords, which was no different from claiming to be kings and establishing countries.
But most of their countries, except for the Dragon Tribe, are mobile countries.
The so-called mobile countries are like nomadic people, which are walking countries, chasing places with lush vegetation to meet the food pressure brought by the huge population.
The Dragon Tribe does not need to become a mobile country because they have achieved self-sufficiency in the development of yellow millet, but it is only relative to the people of the Dragon Tribe.
The various spirits of the Dragon Tribe still have to chase places with lush vegetation, or pick or hunt to satisfy their hunger.
However, when the Fifth Xuan established a country this time, he wanted to do it in one step, not taking the route of a mobile country, but directly establishing a capital.
The Fifth Xuan dared to do this mainly for two reasons.
First, the Fire Tribe now has few people, and the food pressure is not that great, so it is not difficult to be self-sufficient.
Second, there is the Bull Totem in the Fire Tribe Alliance, which is the best at farming. Even if they cannot be sent out for some reasons, it is still possible to let them develop under our noses.
Based on the above two reasons, the Fifth Xuan wanted to cross the threshold of Xingguo and directly establish the capital.
And he also conveyed this intention to the eighth generation witch and all the senior personnel of the Fire Tribe Alliance.
"The altar is nine steps high and reaches the sky."
This is the Fifth Xuan's requirement for the Fire Capital Altar. The so-called nine steps does not mean nine steps, but every forty-nine steps are one step, and there are nine such large steps in total.
Such a requirement shocked all the witches and they didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the Fifth Xuan did not let them do it all at once, but only left a place in advance so that they could build a small one first. In addition
to the requirements for the altar, the Fifth Xuan also made regulations for the houses of the tribesmen.
Before, except for the houses on the upper floors of the tribe, which were slightly larger, most of the houses of other people only had one room, which was very inconvenient for a family.
The Fifth Xuan required that the newly built houses must face south and back to the north, and the house must be divided into east and west, and there must be a yard in front.
With such a division, the house will really have a look, people will add some furniture, and pile up some items in the yard, so that private ownership can move forward better.
In addition to making these two suggestions in urban construction, the Fifth Xuan also had new requirements for roads.
The four main streets must be wide enough, and the auxiliary streets also have minimum requirements.
Not only that, the Fifth Xuan even directly proposed the construction of public toilets, which really embarrassed the tribesmen.
It’s okay to control food and drink, after all, it’s uncomfortable to be hungry, but how can you control defecation and urination? Many people are not used to it for a while.
Although the construction of the public toilet was initiated by Diwu Xuan, it was carried out by a group of witches. Seeing the criticism from below, these witches could not let Totem take the blame, so they had to take the responsibility themselves.
Fortunately, after Diwu Xuan knew the situation, he explained that feces were convenient for the cultivation of yellow millet and could increase the yield of yellow millet.
Yellow millet is a good thing. In order to eat, the tribesmen can control their poop, which appeased the criticism.
The construction of the Fire Tribe was carried out in full swing. In addition to paying attention to it at regular intervals every day, Diwu Xuan spent more time making the final changes to the code.
When the construction of the settlement was completed, it was time to establish the code. Time was tight, and Diwu Xuan had to act quickly.
Every day, smoke and dust rose in the Fire City. People were busy and bustling. Only a few Wolf Tribe cavalrymen were scattered and alert. The rest of the people participated in the construction of the tribe.
Even Ba Xia participated. This was a hard requirement of Diwu Xuan.
This guy was extremely strong and had plenty of energy. He didn't need to be a coolie.
Ba Xia naturally resisted Diwu Xuan's request until Diwu Xuan promised to build a bee farm for him in the future. He agreed.
This made Diwu Xuan feel that in this era, no matter whether it was people or animals, as long as their mouths were blocked, everything else would be easy to solve.
More than a month later, the small altar was built. After a grand ceremony, Diwu Xuan announced the name of Fire City to the Fire Tribe and the Alliance, and decided to erect stone tablets in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northeast to confirm the name of Fire City.
This move was supported by the tribesmen. Now everyone is vying to learn simplified Chinese characters first. Even if they work hard during the day, they can still see the tribesmen arranging by the totem fire at night.
Many tribesmen have names, especially those with the character for fire, which are the most popular.
Now that the Fire Totem has determined the name for their place of residence, how can they not be excited. When
the land has a name, just like when a person has a name, it is easier to be remembered. At the same time, the feelings for this piece of land can be given to this name, so that it can be remembered by the world.
After the grand ceremony, the tribe began to build houses. They were still preparing to make houses with rocks, but Diwu Xuan stepped forward to stop them.
Stone houses are very solid, but they are inevitably leaky and difficult to build. Diwuxuan proposed to use mud mixed with grass roots and stones to make houses.
After testing, Diwuxuan's suggestion was supported by a group of senior executives, and they immediately applied this method.
This accelerated the construction of houses in Huodu a lot. After more than a month, Huodu had already taken shape.
Just when its shape was just formed, Diwuxuan called a halt again and suggested adding a ring road, and suggested that the width of the ring road should not be lower than the main street.
This made everyone a little puzzled, but no one dared to object to the proposal of the Fire Totem. It was okay to not understand, but it was not okay not to do it.
So the first ring road appeared in Huodu, named the first ring by Diwuxuan.
He even thought rather unscrupulously whether the house price would increase according to the ring in the future.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Diwu Xuan once again started to revise the code, because the construction of the Fire City was progressing faster and faster, and the end was not far away.
After more than a month, the coldest winter had passed, and the weather had warmed up a little, but the wind and snow were still there.
The houses of the Fire Tribe were almost built, and Diwu Xuan finally revised the final draft of the code.
In fact, he still felt that there were many problems with the code, but with his wisdom alone, it was impossible to improve it better.
Moreover, many regulations need to be applied in practice to know whether they are useful.
When Diwu Xuan first displayed the code column in the Bagua space, all the totems were shocked. They could not imagine that Diwu Xuan could write so many... sentences with those words.
Yes, they did not find these codes good, and they did not even understand the meaning of the code.
They knew these two words, but their understanding was far from perfect, so their focus was on how Diwu Xuan had piled up these words so long.
"They are codes, tools for regulating the behavior of the tribesmen, not long sentences, not elementary school homework."
Diwu Xuan explained helplessly, but all he got were the confused expressions of the totems.
Even the smartest Moon Totem didn't understand what Diwu Xuan was doing. In the end, it was the Ox Totem that hit the nail on the head: "This is to tell the people of the Fire Tribe what they can and can't do."
"Yes, that's the function."
Diwu Xuan gave the Ox Totem a thumbs up, and thought to himself with a smug expression on his face that he would definitely use the most stupid language to explain these things to these people in the future, otherwise they really wouldn't understand.
"What if we don't do what it says?"
Stag Totem asked.
He was always cautious and thought that since the Fifth Xuan had asked the tribesmen, the Totem would not be left out.
"There are punishment methods above."
The Fifth Xuan pointed to a line of text and said.
Stag Totem leaned over to look:
Article 69: If someone steals other people's private property, the thief will pay ten times the compensation; if someone steals the public property of the tribe and the alliance, the thief will pay twenty times the compensation; if the thief is unable to pay, he will be punished by hard labor until his efforts are worth the compensation.
"Very fair."
Stag Totem read it and said affirmatively.
Diwu Xuan nodded and said, "You guys take a closer look. If you think there is something unreasonable, you can discuss it with me."
He felt that his action was unnecessary at this time. These guys seemed to be unreliable in this matter.
"Let me take a look."
The Sun Totem seemed to be very interested in this thing. He was the first to approach and pay attention, followed by the Moon Totem and the Stag Totem.
The Ox Totem has been thinking about how to obtain the thick fog phantom these days and is not very concerned about these things. The Hammer Totem is very busy in his own tribe.
Because most of the machines have problems with long-term use, he needs to focus on repairing the machines.
Although Diwu Xuan called him to this code matter, he didn't urge him to come forward because he looked tired.
