The newly built road is four meters wide.
The donkeys in the tribe are nearly 1.4 meters wide at their widest point, including the wheels. The total length of two donkey carts is 2.8 meters. When two donkey carts meet, they must keep a distance of at least three meters to avoid each other.
If the two donkey carts that meet are both loaded with things that exceed the size of the carts, such as hay or freshly harvested grain, then more space will be needed.
A width of about four meters is required for good avoidance.
Considering the cattle and horses that one may or may not encounter in one's lifetime, as well as the more spacious vehicles that will appear after the appearance of these animals, a four-meter road is still a bit narrow. It would be best to build the road to a width of five meters.
However, after much thought, Han Cheng decided to set the road width at four meters.
Because this can reduce a lot of workload.
Han Cheng also considered the problem that the roads would become too narrow to be suitable for travel once the tribe had ox carts and horse carts.
That is, every mile, a one-meter wide and fifteen-meter long lane is built on one side of the road, which is similar to an emergency lane and also a road for buses to stop.
In this way, when two oversized cars meet and cannot be avoided on the normal road, one of the cars can be stopped here to give way.
Although this method is still somewhat troublesome, it saves a lot of work compared to building a one-meter-wide road that is nearly two hundred miles long.
Han Cheng had previously coaxed Bai Xuemei by telling her that once the Bronze Expressway was completed, they would harness up the donkey cart, take some food, play along the way, and then go to the Tongshan residential area to see the colorful pools. But at some point the child bride told this to others.
Now everyone in the Qingque tribe knows about this matter, and they are all very much looking forward to this way of traveling and the purpose of traveling.
With this expectation, everyone in the tribe was very motivated when building the road.
During the first two days of road construction, people in the tribe were not very experienced and were groping in the dark. But after two days, everyone gradually got used to these things and the speed of road construction increased.
As everyone worked hard, a wide, flat, and mostly straight road slowly began to appear and began to extend further to the west.
This went on for three days. After Bo, Shitou and others had mastered the art of measuring the width of the road and using lime powder to circle the shape of the road, Han Cheng began to arrange people to go to the Tongshan residential area to teach the people there about the road specifications and corresponding construction methods.
Arrange people to start building the road from there, so that construction can be carried out at both ends together, which can greatly increase the speed.
While doing all this, they also need to transport the next batch of food and some corresponding tools over there.
Because the Tongshan residential area has not yet been fully developed, it will only be able to achieve self-sufficiency in food after the autumn harvest this year.
Now we have to hire the Wind Tribe and its neighboring tribes to build the road. We have to provide them with food, which will be a huge consumption of food. It will not be possible without transporting food from the main tribe.
Some salt, pottery and other things that serve as wages also need to be shipped over.
Originally, Han Cheng planned to let Shang, Mao and others lead the trade team on this trip, but later, after Han Cheng thought about it carefully, he decided to go there himself.
Because the Feng Tribe and its neighboring tribes were about to implement a hiring system that had never existed in the tribe before, Han Cheng was worried that Junior Brother Sha and his friends might not be able to do it well and cause some trouble.
At the same time, by following this newly opened road that is suitable for both people and deer to walk on, we can also make small adjustments to some unreasonable places on the previous route to make this road better.
He planned this road, and he is the only one who knows many things clearly, so it is best for him to do such things.
With these reasons, one day later, Han Cheng put on the rattan armor and once again joined the trade team, carrying many things and heading towards the Tongshan residential area...
After some hard work, Han Cheng and the members of the trading team, who were carrying many things, arrived at the Tongshan residential area.
Junior Brother Sha and his companions, who had been looking forward to Han Cheng's arrival for a long time, were extremely excited when they saw Han Cheng and his companions arrive.
Because they couldn't wait to start building the road.
Not only them, after seeing the carrying capacity of the donkey carts, even the people from the trading teams such as Mao and Shang became extremely excited about the construction of the Bronze Highway.
Because after it is built, at least they won't have to go through so much trouble when traveling between the Qingque main tribe and the Tongshan residential area.
However, the idea of starting construction of the Bronze Highway earlier was just an idea after all. After they had prepared everything, the people from the Wind Tribe, who were expected to have arrived long ago, and the people from the neighboring Wind Tribe, never arrived.
The last time Han Cheng and his companions returned to the Qingque main tribe from the Tongshan residential area was on the third day after the old primitive people had returned.
Because we had to determine the route on the way back and also do some things like clearing the passage, it took us about 10 to 20 days to get back.
After staying in the main tribe for five or six days, he led his people out of the main tribe and headed towards the Tongshan residential area. It took another five or six days on the road.
Counting back and forth like this, it has been almost a month since the old primitive people left the Tongshan residential area.
According to what the old primitive man told Mao before, they would arrive in a short time.
But now, Han Cheng and the others have already arrived, but they have not arrived.
What are these guys doing? Why did they break the appointment for no reason?
Did they encounter danger or an accident on their way to find the neighboring tribe, or did they suddenly decide not to do this anymore?
Han Cheng frowned slightly as he thought about this thing he had not considered before.
It shouldn't be that he broke the appointment and didn't come on purpose.
It's not that Han Cheng has any extraordinary confidence in his own charm, but that he has strong confidence in salt and pottery.
Through these years of experience, Han Cheng already had a very intuitive feeling about the appeal of these two things to those tribes.
With these two things, Han Cheng didn't think the people from the Feng tribe would break their promise.
Moreover, judging from the behavior of the old primitive people before, they did not seem to want to break the promise.
The only thing left is an accident.
In this era, it is not uncommon to encounter any kind of accidents. Many things can cause death or even the destruction of the entire tribe...
Thinking of this, Han Cheng scratched his head in frustration.
All the things I had thought of well before, after this happened, became flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water...
Sure enough, plans cannot keep up with changes. Man proposes, God disposes!
Han Cheng thought with a depressed heart.
When the old primitive man and his companions still did not show up the next day, Han Cheng decided not to wait any longer.
Instead, he transferred some manpower from the Tongshan residential area and started working directly with the people in the trade team.
Han Cheng and the trading team will not stay here for too long.
What they are doing now is to build a section of road as a demonstration, and after teaching these people who are drawn from the work of mining ore and smelting copper and tin, they will return to the main tribe.
Then some people were dispatched from the main tribe to come to the Tongshan residential area to carry out construction.
Although this would delay some work and have some impact on the Qingque main tribe, if the people from the Feng tribe were not in place, Han Cheng didn't have much else to do.
While building the road here, Han Cheng would look towards the northwest from time to time, hoping that the people from the Feng tribe would come over.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Five days passed in a flash, and the people from the Wind Tribe still did not show up...
"well!"
After throwing a shovel of dirt onto the road, Han Cheng leaned on the shovel and looked towards the northwest direction of the Tongshan residential area again, but there was still no movement there.
This is the seventh day since Han Cheng and his team started construction, and they have built nearly 800 meters of road.
The people drawn from the Tongshan residential area have already mastered the techniques of road construction. They only need to leave the stones here to "mark the lines" and find the exact location of the road for them.
As for Han Cheng and the others, they can now pack up and return.
It seems that we really can't count on the Feng Tribe.
Han Cheng sighed, sniffed slightly and thought depressedly that this might be the most depressing thing he had done since he came to this era.
No, we have to go look for the Wind Tribe.
Han Cheng is a fickle man. The decision he made at the beginning was suddenly changed.
The main reason was that he felt that he had been planning for so long and when he thought everything was settled, this happened. He felt unwilling to accept the situation and wanted to know what had happened in the Feng tribe.
If something bad really happens, if you can figure out the cause, you can take precautions.
After all, from the previous words of the old primitive man, it can be concluded that the place where they live is not particularly far from the Tongshan residential area.
But even so, it is not easy to find the Wind Tribe because no one in the tribe has ever been to the Wind Tribe.
Without knowing the way and only knowing a large direction, it is not easy to find a tribe with no more than a hundred people based on the current conditions, unless you are extremely lucky.
It is precisely because of this that Han Cheng had never thought of looking for the Feng Tribe before.
Now that this thought arose, Han Cheng no longer had the heart to continue building the road here.
After shouting here for a while, an hour later, a group of people came out of the gate of Tongshan residential area with weapons, many dogs, deer and food, and headed northwest.
The farther away from the Tongshan residential area, the fewer traces of human beings there are.
The members of the trade team, Shang and Mao, opened their eyes wide, trying to find some traces left by the people of the Wind Tribe in this deserted place...
Going forward a little further in time, the location changed to the Feng tribe located northwest of the Tongshan residential area.
The cheerful old primitive man, along with five other equally cheerful people, returned to the tribe in a happy mood.
When they brought the news back to the tribe that they could exchange their labor for salt and pottery jars, the people of the Wind Tribe became excited.
The people of the Feng tribe, who had been vaguely worried about the lack of food such as salt, jumped for joy after receiving this exciting news.
They had a new understanding of the kindness and generosity of the powerful Green Bird tribe.
The employer pays money and the employee works hard. This concept, which is very common in later generations, is definitely extremely advanced in this era.
What seems to be natural and even somewhat exploitative to people in later generations is like a good deed to them.
Because they never thought that strength was valuable, nor did they have the concept that they could get delicious and very precious salt from other tribes by working hard.
After listening to the old primitive man's story about the transaction and the exchange of labor for salt, they collectively believed that this was a good deed performed by the wealthy tribe - after seeing that they could not give out many furs, they gave them delicious salt and precious pottery in this way!
The old primitive people stayed in the tribe for a day. After remembering what the Son of God, who had an extremely noble status in the tribe, said, they took some food and simple weapons and headed north along the route they had taken when they migrated back after the beginning of spring this year, to find the tribe next to them and tell them the great news.
In order to increase the credibility of their words, the primitive people even brought a pottery bowl and some fur and other things, wrapped in layers of salt...
After a while, the old primitive man brought several other people back to the place where they lived in the north.
After a short rest here, they began to head towards the place where the neighboring tribe was located in their memory...
“￥%#￥?!”
A primitive man, whose face was covered with bruises and purple patches left by frostbite, grabbed the old primitive man and asked excitedly.
This man who appears to be relatively strong is the leader of the tribe that has been adjacent to the Feng tribe both before and after the migration.
Because they have always been close to the Linfeng Tribe, for the sake of convenience, they can be called the Linfeng Tribe.
Not only the leader of the Linfeng tribe, but also the rest of the people in the Linfeng tribe who understood what the old primitive man meant, were now all looking at him with inexplicable surprise.
The old primitive people, feeling the eager gazes of these people, suddenly felt very comfortable in their hearts, as if they were the ones who killed the evil Teng Snake tribe, and they looked proud of it.
With such a feeling, under the expectant gaze of the people of the Linfeng tribe, the old primitive man continued to talk about what he knew about the destruction of the Tengshe tribe and the kind and powerful Qingque tribe...
"The Green Bird Tribe?"
After a while, the leader of the Linfeng tribe spoke this sentence in Mandarin with a stiff and strange accent.
Because in the narration just now, the name of the tribe that the old primitive man mentioned most was this tribal name that sounded very strange.
It far surpasses the evil Tengshe tribe that the leader of the Linfeng tribe thinks is worth talking about.
After the ecstasy, the leader of the Linfeng tribe and the people of the Linfeng tribe looked at the old primitive man and his companions with an expression of disbelief.
In their perception, the evil Teng Snake tribe is so powerful that there is no way to resist it.
And now, these people actually say that the evil and powerful Teng Snake tribe was actually destroyed by the tribe with a very strange name?
Is there really such a tribe that can defeat the unrivaled Teng Snake Tribe?
After seeing the reactions of the people of the Linfeng tribe and hearing their doubts, the old primitive man seemed very angry, because he felt that such a powerful, wealthy and extremely kind tribe should not be doubted like this!
After being angry for a while, the old primitive man remembered the salt and the large pottery bowl he had brought with him.
"#￥%DF?"
He took the ceramic bowl out of the animal skin package, and then took out the carefully preserved salt and opened them layer by layer.
These two things that had never been seen before immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Linfeng tribe.
The people from the Linfeng tribe asked curiously, but the old primitive man seemed very arrogant and ignored them. Instead, he did his own thing - he put some water into the pottery bowl, carefully placed the bowl on the fire, and then put some food in it...
"#￥%TY!?"
When the leader of the Linfeng tribe and some people from the Linfeng tribe ate the delicious food that the old primitive man "carefully" prepared, they immediately became restless, with expressions of surprise all over their faces...
After the old primitive man offered up two powerful weapons, pottery and salt, the people of the Linfeng tribe immediately believed what the old primitive man said.
Because these two magical things were not possessed by the Feng tribe before.
After the old primitive man said proudly that if they went back and followed him to the Qingque tribe twice, they could also get these delicious things from the kind and generous Qingque tribe, the leader of the Linfeng tribe, who had originally thought of waiting before migrating back, could not wait any longer!
They immediately patted their chests and expressed their willingness to migrate back immediately and go to that powerful and kind tribe with the old primitive man.
As expected, just as Han Cheng thought, most tribes had no resistance to salt and pottery...
The next day, the leader of the Linfeng tribe led the people in the tribe and left this sad place.
They left without any regrets, because too many people from their tribe had lost their lives here...
After a hard journey and getting lost twice, the people of the Linfeng tribe finally returned to their original residence.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, many people from the Linfeng tribe were inexplicably excited. Some older people were so excited that they shed tears.
When they left here, they thought they would never come back. As a result, the evil Teng Snake tribe was destroyed by a kind tribe...
After returning to the original place of residence and making some arrangements, the leader of the Linfeng tribe arranged for people to follow the old primitive man to the Feng tribe impatiently, ready to follow the old primitive man to that powerful and kind tribe.
Because along the way, he tasted salted food from the old primitive people twice, and the taste was truly unforgettable.
After the old primitive man brought some people from the neighboring Wind tribe back to their tribe and expressed to the leader his idea of taking people to the kind Green Bird tribe again soon, the leader of the Wind tribe, who had been excited and extremely happy about this matter, now became worried.
This is because during the time when the old primitive man was away, the leader of the Wind Tribe suddenly realized something.
The thing is, according to the number of pottery fragments given by the kind-hearted tribe, the corresponding number of adults in the tribe were sent out to the kind-hearted Qingque tribe to build roads and exchange for salt and pottery. After that, there were not enough people in the tribe to obtain enough food for everyone!
Moreover, those who went to "build the road" also had to carry food with them and could not always eat the food from that kind tribe.
In his opinion, his tribe had already gotten a huge advantage by being able to exchange precious things such as salt and pottery from the kind-hearted Qingque tribe in this way.
During this process, it would be too much to eat the food of the kind Green Bird Tribe.
Although they were primitive people, they were still very clear about some things.
After understanding the leader's intention, the old primitive man, who was originally very excited to take his men and rush to the Qingque tribe, became a little silent.
He felt that what the leader said was absolutely right.
If you think carefully about the series of events that happened after the encounter with the Green Bird Tribe, you will find that your tribe has taken full advantage in the interactions between the two sides.
The Qingque Tribe not only helped them eliminate the evil Tengshe Tribe, but also made them no longer have to worry about being attacked by the Tengshe Tribe.
And in their subsequent interactions, it brought them many benefits.
Under such circumstances, they couldn't rely on building roads to exchange delicious salt and precious pottery from the kind bluebirds while still eating their food, right?
Not only the old primitive man, but everyone else in the tribe also agreed with the words of the leader of the Wind Tribe.
After a long while, the old primitive man began to speak in a loud voice.
What he meant was that not so many people should go to the Qingque tribe to build roads. Instead, they should take all the food that could be stored in the tribe with them and bring their own food to build roads with the kind Qingque tribe.
After this proposal was made, it was agreed by everyone.
As a result, the people of the Wind Tribe quickly became busy and began to take out the food they had stored with great difficulty, and asked the old primitive people and others who were going to the Green Bird Tribe to build roads and exchange for salt and pottery to take it with them.
In order to bring more food, they even went all out to get food around the tribe.
A few days later, seven or eight of the old primitive people, plus five people from the Linfeng tribe, set out with large and small bags of things, ready to go to the Qingque tribe to build a road...
