The stream was flowing quietly, and along with the stream were the rafts one after another in the water, as well as the stones on the rafts.

The trading team advanced along both sides of the stream with their deer and dogs.

Shang, Mao and other people were holding long wooden poles or shovels in their hands and moving along the rafts on both sides of the river.

The raft has a very shallow draft, so it can travel in such water.

However, the stream is not a straight line, but rather winding. Sometimes when the raft turns along the stream, it will hit the mud bank or rocks and cannot move forward.

At this time, the members of the trading team need to use the poles in their hands to push the rafts inward to help them bypass such bends.

Sometimes we encounter narrow places with fast-flowing water that the raft cannot pass through.

At this time, the members of the trading team would use ropes and wooden poles to secure the raft, and then start digging with the bronze shovels in their hands to expand the passage.

There are not too many places like this, and most of them are concentrated in the lower reaches of the stream. In addition, the rafts in the tribe are relatively narrow, so although it is a bit troublesome, we still passed through smoothly.

Compared with the hardship of land transportation, this kind of trouble is really not a big deal.

They walked and stopped along the way, and when they were almost at the downstream of the stream which had turned into a river, Shang Xian led a group of people and walked quickly to the confluence of the rivers.

Stand guard there and control all the rafts that come out.

Then all the rafts were connected together in pairs, forming a column.

When this was done, a long black and brown dragon appeared above the river.

Long before they connected all the rafts together, they used some rafts to make a simple floating bridge across the river according to the trick taught by the Son of God before they set out, and transported half of the deer and the people to the other side.

Now the people and deer on both sides of the river are dragging the ropes, and the other ends of these ropes are connected to the rafts in the water.

These rafts have a very shallow draft, and the water in the creek is not very fast-flowing, so they are far from being as exaggerated as the dragon boat that Yang Guang rode during the Sui Dynasty.

So even if there are fewer people and animals pulling the boat, it is not very difficult to pull it.

Moreover, compared to paddling a raft upstream along the river, this method of towing is much faster and requires less effort.

In order to transport stones, the Qingque tribe gloriously had part-time primitive trackers...

When such a long dragon walks in the water, the scene it creates is extremely amazing.

This is of course relative to people of this era.

So when the members of the trading team pulled this long dragon-like thing upstream along the stream and returned to the Qingque tribe, the entire tribe quickly became excited.

Everyone rushed to see this thing which looked very unusual.

The tired members of the trading team suddenly felt their fatigue swept away. They all raised their necks, took more vigorous steps, and headed towards the small ferry built in front of the tribe.

Shang, Mao and others were very happy.

You know, as the Son of God brought out one thing after another, the "knowledgeable" people of the Green Bird Tribe were rarely surprised by anything other than the new things the Son of God brought out.

It's a bit like saying, once you've seen the ocean, you'll never be impressed by other waters.

Now that they have succeeded in surprising everyone in the tribe once again, it would be strange if they were not happy.

Especially when the Son of God came over and saw the raft and stones in the water, he happily patted them on the shoulder lightly, and Shang, Mao and the others were even more excited.

Han Cheng was of course happy, because with so much limestone, the tribe could burn lime.

After the lime is burned, it can not only be used as an adhesive to make the house stronger.

Another important reason is that once you have white ash, you can try making transformed eggs!

Now the rape flowers are about to fall and the temperature is slowly starting to rise. It's time to use lime, sawdust and other things to make a batch of eggs, which will be just right for eating in summer.

Preserved eggs are a good thing, especially in summer. One bite of preserved egg and two sips of ice-cold beer is as comfortable as it can be.

Of course, when the weather gets cooler, it is also a good idea to chop some lean meat into small pieces, put it together with chopped preserved eggs, chopped green onions and some millet, and cook a pot of preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

The century egg and lean meat porridge here is real century egg and lean meat porridge, not the kind that uses too much flour and low-quality sausages instead of lean meat, and has very little century egg.

Foodies have very rich imaginations, and in their eyes, many things can be associated with food.

Just like Han Cheng, who is drooling at a pile of stones now.

Although he didn't have the ability to make beer, it didn't dampen his enthusiasm for making preserved eggs.

The rocks on the raft were carried to the dockside, forming a large pile, and the rafts were untied and hauled ashore one by one.

At this time, the spring plowing in the tribe has been more than half completed. All they have to do is wait until the rapeseed is harvested before planting the last crop of late millet.

So now there are sufficient people to carry out various tasks.

Han Cheng did not follow Heiwa's suggestion to build a lime kiln not far from the river and next to the brick kiln.

Instead, he insisted on having the limestone brought back from afar transported to the quarry near the northwest of the Qingque tribe.

Water is the source of life, this statement is extremely true, especially as the tribe continues to expand, the population continues to increase, and more and more people and livestock need to rely on this small river for drinking water. This statement becomes even more true.

Han Cheng knew better than anyone else in the tribe how important the small river was to the current tribe, so he spared no effort in protecting the small river.

In Han Cheng's plan, the northwest downwind area of ​​the tribe will be the gathering area of ​​Qingque tribe's "highly polluting industries".

Copper smelting furnaces are gathered here, and lime kilns will also be built here.

In autumn, the charcoal kiln will be moved here.

Only brick kilns and pottery kilns that require a lot of water are left not too far from the river.

Thanks to the efforts of the hardworking people of the Qingque tribe, a stone road was built from the simple pier on the creek to the quarry in the northwest corner of the tribe.

Such roads are very suitable for the increasing number of wheelbarrows in the tribe, so the transfer of this section of limestone land is relatively not tiring.
