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.
毕竟从老原始人之前的话语里，能够得出他们居住的地方距离铜山居住区不算特别的远。
不过就算是如此，想要找到风部落也不是太容易，因为部落里的人都没有去过风部落。
在不知道路只知道一个范围很大的方向的前提下，依靠现在的条件想要寻找到一个最多也不会超过百人生活的部落，如果不是运气特别好，是真的不太容易。
也正是因为如此，在之前的时候韩成一直都没有升起去寻找风部落的念头。
现在这样的念头升起之后，韩成也就没有心思继续在这里进行修路了。
在这里吆喝了一嗓子，一个小时之后，一群人拿着武器、带着诸多的狗子，牵着鹿带着食物这些东西，出了铜山居住区的大门，一路朝着西北方向而去。
距离铜山居住区越远，人的痕迹也就越愈发的稀少。
殇、贸这些贸易队的人一个个瞪大了眼睛，想要在这荒无人烟的地方，寻找出一些风部落的人来往的时候，留下的痕迹来……
时间往前推上一些，地点换成铜山居住区西北方向的风部落所在地。
兴高采烈的老原始人，带着另外五个同样性高采烈的人一路心情愉悦的回到了部落。
当他们将这种可以同通过劳动来换取食盐以及陶罐这些东西的消息传回部落之后，风部落的人也都变得兴高采烈起来。
原本还隐隐约约的为食盐这些东西不够吃而犯愁的风部落的人，得到这个令人欣喜的消息之后，高兴的又蹦又跳。
对于那个强大的青雀部落的善良与大方，他们又有了一个全新的认识。
雇主出钱，雇工出力，这种在后世极为普遍的概念，在这个时代绝对属于极为超前的东西。
在后世人看来是天经地义、甚至于还有些剥削意味的事情，对于他们而言，就像是一件行善的事情。
因为，他们从来都没有认为力气值钱，也没有通过下力气就可以从其余部落那里得到美味且十分珍贵的食盐这样的概念。
在听老原始人说了交易时的情形、以及用力气换食盐这些事情之后，他们集体认为这是那个富裕的部落进行的善行——见他们拿不出太多的皮毛之后，就通过这样的方式，将美味的食盐以及珍贵的陶器送给他们！
老原始人他们在部落里呆了一天，想起那个部落之中地位极其尊贵的神子说的话之后，就带着一些食物，和简陋的武器，沿着今年开春之后，他们迁徙回来的路线，一路往北而去，去寻找那个和他们临近的部落，告诉她们这个绝好的消息。
甚至于为了增加他们说话的可信度，老原始人他们还带上了一个陶碗，和一些用皮毛这些东西，包裹了一层又一层的食盐……
一段时间之后，老原始人带着另外几人一起回到了在北方的时候所居住的地方。
在这里稍微的休整之后，他们开始朝着记忆中那个邻近部落所在的地方而去……
“￥%#￥？！”
一个脸上布满了青一块紫一块冻疮好过之后留下的痕迹的原始人，一把拉住老原始人，满是激动的出声询问。
这个显得比较强壮的人，就是这个不论是迁徙之前还是迁徙之后都跟风部落相邻的部落的首领。
因为他们一直邻近风部落的缘故，为了方便称呼，可以将之成为邻风部落。
不仅仅是邻风部落的首领，邻风部落其余弄明白了老原始人表达的意思的人，这会儿全都惊喜莫名的望着老原始人他们。
老原始人几个，感受着这些人热切的目光，这时候心里忽然间就觉得非常舒坦起来，就好像是将邪恶的腾蛇部落弄死的就是他们一样，一副与有荣焉的样子。
怀着这样的心情，在邻风部落众人一场期盼的注视下，老原始人继续说着他所知道的关于腾蛇部落的覆灭，以及那个善良而又强大的青雀部落的事情……
“青雀部落？”
半晌之后，邻风部落的首领用显得生硬又怪异的口音说着这这句普通话。
因为在刚刚的叙说之中，老原始人提到的最多的就是这个听起来显得很是古怪的部落名字。
远远超过了邻风部落首领认为值得大说特说的、邪恶的腾蛇部落。
狂喜过后的邻风部落首领以及邻风部落的众人，这会儿看着老原始人他们，露出了一些不太相信的神情。
在他们的认知里，邪恶的腾蛇部落是那样的强大，根本就是没有办法抵挡的存在。
而如今，这些人居然说那个邪恶而又强大的腾蛇部落，居然被那个名字很是奇怪的部落给灭掉了？
能够将不可匹敌的腾蛇部落给没掉，真的有这样的部落？
见到邻风部落的人这样的反应，并且听到了他们所说的疑问之后，老原始人显得很是气恼，因为他觉得那个强大富裕而又极其善良的部落，是不能这样被人来怀疑的！
这样暗自生了一会儿的气之后，老原始人想起了被他携带而来的那些食盐，和那个大号的陶碗。
“#￥%DF？”
他将陶碗从兽皮包裹里拿出来，又将小心保藏的起来的食盐拿出来一层层的打开。
这两样从来都没有见过的东西，立刻就吸引了邻风部落所有人的目光。
面的邻风部落的即为好奇的询问，老原始人显得很是傲娇的一句话没有搭理他们，而是自顾自的做着事情——将一些水弄到陶碗里，将陶碗小心的架在火上烧，随后又往里面放进一些食物……
“#￥%TY！？”
当邻风部落的首领以及邻风部落的一些人，吃到了老原始人‘精心’烹制出来的美味食物之后，立刻就变得不淡定起来了，满脸都是惊奇的之色……
在老原始人祭出了陶器和食盐这两样利器之后，邻风部落的人顿时就相信了老原始人所说的话。
因为这两样神奇的东西，以前的风部落是没有的。
在老原始人一脸傲娇的说出，若是他们回去之后，随着他一起前往青雀部落走上两趟，也能从善良而又大方的青雀部落那里得到这些美味的东西之后，原本还想着等等了再迁徙回去的邻风部落首领，是一刻都等不及了！
当即就拍着胸脯，表示他们愿意立刻就迁徙回去，并和老原始人一起，前往那个强大而又善良的部落。
果然，和韩成想的一样，绝大部分的部落，对于食盐以及陶器这两样东西，都没有丝毫的抵抗能力……
第二天的时候，邻风部落的首领就带着部落里的人，离开了这个令他们感到伤心的地方，。
他们走的没有丝毫的留恋，因为在这里，他们部落的人，丢掉了太多的性命……
一路的辛苦，又摸岔了两次路，邻风部落的人终于又回到了原来居住的地方。
看着这片熟悉而又陌生的地方，邻风部落的不少人都激动莫名，一些岁数比较大的人，更是激动的留下了眼泪。
他们当初离开这里的时候，都以为再也回不来了，结果，那个邪恶的腾蛇部落，居然被一个善良的部落给灭掉了……
回到原来居住的地方，稍稍的做了安排之后，邻风部落的首领就安排人迫不及待的随着老原始人他们去了风部落，准备随着老原始人他们一起前往那个强大而又善良的部落。
因为这一路上，他又从老原始人那里品尝到了两次加盐的食物，那滋味真的是令人忘不了。
等到老原始人带着一些邻风部落的人回到他们部落、并向首领表达了不日就要带着人再次前往善良的青雀部落的想法之后，之前还兴高采烈，对此事极为欢喜的风部落首领这时候却变得愁眉苦脸起来。
这是因为在老原始人离开的这段时间里，风部落的首领忽然间意识到了一件事情。
这件事情就是，按照那个善良的部落给出的陶片的数量，把部落里相应数量的成年人派遣出去，去善良的青雀部落修路、换取食盐陶器这些之后，部落里就没有足够的人手来获取足够所有人食用的事物了！
而且这些前去‘修路’的人，也都还要携带着食物，不能总是吃那个善良的部落的食物。
在他看来，能够通过这样的方式，从善良的青雀部落那里换取到食盐、陶器这些珍贵的东西，自己部落就已经是占了天大的便宜。
在这个过程里再去吃善良的青雀部落的食物，可就真的有些太那啥了。
虽然是原始人，有些事情却还是分得非常清的。
弄明白了首领的意思之后，原本兴致勃勃的想要带着人，赶紧前往青雀部落的老原始人，也变的有些沉默了起来。
他觉得首领说的非常的对。
仔细回想一下和青雀部落相遇之后发生的一系列的事情，就会发现在双方的交往里，自己部落尽占便宜了。
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...
