At first, the people in the tribe were worried about placing such a large group of bees within the tribal wall, fearing that the bees would sting people.

If it was just left outside, they were afraid that such delicious honey would be taken away by something else, so after some hesitation, they accepted that the bees should survive in the tribe.

After a few days of contact, they found that these bees were busy flying around collecting pollen every day. As long as they did not attack the hive like Xiaofu did in the past, these bees would not actively attack people. After that, the people in the tribe were completely relieved this time.

There are even quite a few children who, when they have nothing to do, stand not far from the beehives and watch the bees going in and out of the hives. Some of them will even put their fingers into their mouths and suck them involuntarily.

Sweet honey is very attractive to children who like sweets. Just say "if you do a good job, you will get a bowl of honey water", and these guys will work harder than anyone else...

After the turmoil caused by the bees gradually subsided, the spring planting of the Green Bird Tribe was basically completed.

The millets that were planted first have already emerged from the ground, revealing tender buds that are being caressed by the spring breeze.

Smoke is now rising outside the Qingque tribe, near the creek.

These were the people who had freed themselves from the spring planting and were starting to mix mud and make tiles, preparing for the large blue brick and tile house that the Son of God had mentioned.

Heiwa basically no longer gets involved in the tile-making business, and leaves it to the two people who often help him.

Compared to pottery, which has higher requirements, tiles are relatively easy to use.

But he was not idle either, as he had more important things to do at this moment.

Compared with making tiles, making bricks is much more difficult. The kilns used to make tiles are not suitable for making bricks.

It’s not that it can’t be fired, but it’s just too time-consuming.

They had tried burning the bricks once before, and the fire burned for three whole days before it finally burned through the bricks.

After wasting so much time and materials, a kiln can only produce a hundred bricks, and half of the bricks are broken as soon as they come out of the kiln, so they cannot be used at all.

At this rate of progress, the blue brick and tile house that Han Cheng wanted to build would really only appear in the year of the monkey and the horse...

It turns out that kilns for firing tiles are not suitable for firing bricks. The solution, of course, is to build new kilns suitable for firing bricks.

The first requirement for a newly built kiln is that it must be large enough to hold a large number of bricks at once, at least more than a thousand bricks.

The second is firmness.

Because of the living environment in later generations, Han Cheng had seen earthen kilns for firing bricks. Earthen kilns were not uncommon in those days.

Of course, most of the brick kilns he had seen were abandoned.

In my impression, the small brick kiln made by traditional methods is a cone-shaped object, about four or five meters high and more than fifteen meters in diameter, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, similar to a huge grave mound.

Inside such a large mound, there is an arched space built with bricks, and there are also arched entrances on the sides, which are used to transport bricks inside and for people to enter and exit.

Inside, there is a larger space, where the manufactured and dried bricks are placed...

Building such a kiln is also a huge project. Even if Han Cheng intends to reduce the size of the kiln by half, it will undoubtedly be a big challenge for him and the people of the Qingque tribe who only know the general structure but have never done it themselves.

Especially the arched ceiling, which requires very high technical skills.

But there aren't many solutions, so we can only force ourselves to do it and learn while fighting.

Many things are actually the same. If you don’t try, no one knows whether you can accomplish it.

For example, charcoal burning and iron smelting were things Han Cheng had never thought about before, but life had forced him to this point, so what could he do? He could only bite the bullet and do it.

People! You don’t have to help yourself, you will never know how good you are!

After Han Cheng encouraged himself with this expression, he began to assign people to do the work.

The first thing is to let some people continue to make bricks, which is a very necessary thing.

At the same time, the two of them were asked to continue making bricks using a small earthen kiln that was not suitable for making bricks.

There is no other way. The interior of the brick kiln to be built later needs to be built with bricks, so we can only burn some of them first and keep them as spare parts.

However, the bricks fired in this way are not green, but have some ochre red.

In order to burn blue bricks, a process is required that cannot be performed in a small earthen kiln for burning tiles.

After this had been going on for a few days, under the leadership of Han Cheng, a group of people from the Qingque tribe began to select a site and start digging not too far from the original small earthen kiln.

A circular pit with a diameter of about eight meters and a depth of about one and a half meters was dug out.

After these were completed, Han Cheng saw that there were still not enough bricks produced. After thinking about it, he asked people to cut more tree sticks and prepare to build a thatched hut near the earthen kiln.

This thatched hut is certainly not for people to live in, but for bricks to live in.

Bricks, like clay for pottery, cannot stand strong sunlight, especially in summer.

It also cannot withstand rain.

So Han Cheng took advantage of this opportunity and had someone build a thatched shed to protect the bricks from wind and rain. This way, even if it rains in the future, there will be no need to worry.

The people of the Qingque tribe are very familiar with things like building straw huts. After Han Cheng marked out the area for building the huts, he basically didn't have to worry about the rest. The people in the tribe could do the rest on their own.

The people of the Yuangu tribe were once again amazed at the abilities of the people of the Qingque tribe.

How come they have so much stuff?

After such a feeling, he began to devote himself to these kinds of labor, contributing to the tribe, and also learning these new skills as quickly as possible.

While the people in the tribe were busy with these things, Han Cheng, as the general supervisor, did not sit idle after arranging all the affairs. Instead, he used the bricks that had already been fired to make things, a bit like playing with building blocks.

First, two "walls" were set up, no more than 30 centimeters high and one meter long, with a distance of one meter between the two walls.

Then, using bricks one by one, they began to build the vault between the two 'walls', extending outwards little by little.

The arch is a hurdle that cannot be avoided when building a brick kiln, because it is the only choice in terms of both load-bearing and heat-absorbing.

This is no big deal for people who are used to doing masonry work, but it is much more difficult for Han Cheng, a newbie.

“Clatter…”

The arches extending from the two 'walls' collapsed before they could even connect...
