With the arrival of Han Cheng and others, Jinguan City suddenly became crowded.

The inner courtyard, which seemed spacious before, now seemed extremely crowded.

The houses built before were packed full, and there were still many people who had no place to live.

Fortunately, the weather had gradually warmed up by this time, and Han Cheng and his companions had been sleeping outdoors all the way and had prepared equipment for sleeping outdoors, so they were able to make do for the time being.

However, this is obviously not a long-term solution.

For the long-term benefit, we still need to build more houses as soon as possible to accommodate these people in the tribe.

A fat man is not made by eating one bite of food, and a house is not built in one go.

Under the current circumstances, it is obviously impossible to build the kind of houses that the Qingque tribe lives in in one step.

Therefore, the semi-cave dome houses similar to those inhabited by the original semi-agricultural tribes were once again pulled out for emergency use.

Before these emergency houses were built, most of the houses that had been built previously were used to house minors.

Most of the adults live in tents, huts, etc.

No one was dissatisfied with Han Cheng's arrangement.

The old men of the Qingque tribe have long been accustomed to such things. They have done similar things many times before, and they also agree with them very much.

Minors are the future of their tribe. Only when there are more minors and they develop, their tribe can develop better in the future.

As for those people from the original Qingque Alliance who came with Han Cheng from the Qingque main tribe, they would have no objection to such things.

Because these minors who were treated preferentially were basically from their previous tribes, and many of their children were among them.

In addition to this, there was another reason that even the extremely respected and wise Son of God himself did not live in the house, but chose to live with them in a makeshift tent.

Everyone admired this very much and felt warm in their hearts.

Under normal circumstances, it would take some time for the old members of the Qingque tribe who stayed in Jinguan City and the new members of the Qingque tribe who came with Han Cheng to get used to each other.

However, after Han Cheng's operation, this process was greatly shortened.

The connection between the two sides was basically seamless and harmonious, and it looked like they had been living together for a long time.

While handling these matters and in such an atmosphere, Han Cheng also learned from his second senior brother, Mao and others about some of the things that happened in Jinguan City during the time he was away.

Nothing major happened in Jinguan City, and things were still proceeding in an orderly manner according to the previous plan.

The Red Tiger Tribe that Han Cheng was worried about did not come, and the Youchao Tribe was also very well-behaved and did not come here either.

During the time when Han Cheng was away, Jinguan City conducted a transaction with the Red Tiger Tribe through the hunchbacked primitive people.

Twenty-four cows were exchanged from them at one time.

When the hunchbacked primitive people left, they said that they would come again to exchange with the Green Bird tribe.

In addition, Mao also told Han Cheng that because the amount of salt they carried before was not large, they would no longer exchange salt with other countries.

The older female primitives reported to him that many tribes were short of salt and they were eager to exchange enough salt from their own tribe to continue trading with those tribes.

"Hey, salt!"

After learning the news from Mao, Han Cheng smiled and pointed to one side and said to Mao.

Placed there was a large amount of salt they had brought from the main tribe this time.

After seeing such a large amount of salt, Mao's face suddenly broke into a smile.

This former leader of the donkey tribe, who had done many exchanges with people in the tribe, still had a great enthusiasm for exchanges.

He liked doing things like this, and every time he saw that he could exchange things from his own tribe for a lot of things from other tribes, he would be happy from the bottom of his heart.

Even when he saw things like pottery and salt, he would unconsciously convert them - if he used these things to exchange with other tribes, how much would his own tribe get.

It is also because of this that Mao is reluctant to waste any salt on a daily basis, and he will continue to use the bowls and other things even if they are broken.

Because in his opinion, this is saving food...

Clouds floated in the sky, and the sun was sometimes covered by clouds and sometimes appeared again, so the ground was sometimes clear and sometimes dark.

In this land where shade appears from time to time, Jinguan City is bustling with activity.

The outer courtyard of Jinguan City, which had already been planned, is now being built.

Just like before, the first thing to be built was the wall.

This is the best option when there is a possibility of external enemies.

Only after the wall was built would Han Cheng allow people to start building houses in the outer courtyard for living.

Before this, people in the tribe basically needed to live in temporary dome-shaped and semi-cave houses.

Everyone in the tribe has suffered.

Or maybe it could be said that the place they lived in before was not much better than the semi-cave houses they live in now, so they had no complaints about such things.

In fact, even if the semi-cavern houses were not as good as the caves they lived in before, everyone would not have any complaints.

Because this was said by the Son of God, and it was the Son of God who told everyone to do this.

This alone is enough.

Not to mention, doing this is for everyone's safety!

The wall that is currently being built is much larger than the one Han Cheng had planned before.

This is the result after Han Cheng made modifications based on the original.

When he was making the previous relocation plan, Han Cheng himself had not imagined that the population of his tribe would increase so quickly.

So in order to achieve the goal in one step as much as possible, Han Cheng expanded the outer courtyard this time.

When expanding these courtyards, Han Cheng encountered a problem, which was how to consolidate the foundation.

The foundation of the main tribe is basically made of stones.

There are not many stones in Jinguan City, so when Han Cheng was building the inner courtyard before, he had people cut down tree stumps, burn them until they were carbonized, and then nail them into the ground before starting construction.

In fact, it is possible to expand the facility at this time and continue construction according to previous practices, but Han Cheng is always a little worried about these things.

Worrying that someday these tree stumps driven into the soil would break and cause the wall to collapse.

Although these tree stumps have been burned, they have been carbonized to a certain extent.

But this thing is not steel after all, and the soil outside is not cement.

Moreover, the exterior walls being built nowadays are generally longer, wider and higher than the interior walls, so it never hurts to be more cautious.

However, no matter how cautious and worried we are, it is not easy to solve this problem in the current situation where there is a lack of stones, steel bars and cement.

At least Han Cheng and the people in Jinguan City who knew his thoughts were stumped.

They really couldn't think of any way, under the current circumstances, to make the foundation of the wall better than that of the inner courtyard.

However, such things did not bother the people of Jinguan City for too long.

This is mainly due to the fact that they have a Son of God who traveled through time from the future and had read a lot of online novels before traveling through time.

Influenced by these unscrupulous online novel writers, their imaginations are really extraordinary.

So after some entanglement, the solution to the problem was thought of...

While everyone was tamping the earth to build the wall, many of the minors who came this time were not idle either. They carried dried firewood from other places and kept transporting it here.

Some people were guarding here, piling the dry firewood brought by the minors on both sides and on top of the rammed foundation, surrounding and covering it all.

This is the solution Han Cheng came up with.

His method is actually very simple, and it was inspired by the pottery in the tribe.

Since mud can be fired into pottery after being heated, can a foundation made of rammed earth also be fired into something like pottery by heating?

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to perfectly avoid the shortcomings of lack of stones and other things?

Of course, Han Dashenzi is sometimes unscrupulous, but he generally won't make decisions on the spur of the moment, especially when it involves a large amount of manpower and material resources, and he will never act rashly like that.

After coming up with this idea, he did not immediately have anyone carry it out. Instead, he first built a small section of earth wall, piled a lot of firewood on it, and burned it for a long time as an experiment.

Experiments have proved that his idea is completely feasible. The wall made of rammed earth, after being burned by flames for a long time, is really transformed into the state of pottery and becomes a whole.

Although not as solid as stone, it is strong enough to be used.

Moreover, if we consider the bonding problem of the stone, this completely connected ceramic wall actually performs better than a stone wall.

But there are also disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that such an operation wastes too much firewood.

Fortunately, at this time, there are enough trees around, and as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you don’t have to worry about not having enough firewood.

Moreover, when logging is carried out at this time, the thick tree trunks will be left behind and can be used to build houses later.

The empty spaces left after felling can be developed into land and used to grow crops in due time, and will not be left idle.

Some distance away from the busy Jinguan City, there is a group of cows leisurely eating grass.

These cattle were obtained by Mao and others through exchange with the hunchbacked primitive people during the time when Han Cheng was away.

The grazing scene at this time is very different from the impression of the literary and artistic youth in later generations, where a shepherd boy rides a yellow cow and blows a flute on his back.

The people herding cattle did not ride on the backs of the cattle, but held the reins in their hands and let the cattle graze here. Some minors held both reins in their hands, and some children only held one rein.

Generally speaking, a child leading only one cow will be more nervous and cautious than a child leading two cows, and two children leading one cow generally will not get together, but will keep a certain distance between them.

The reason for this is, on the one hand, that these cows are different from the cows in later generations that have been domesticated for thousands of years and passed down from generation to generation. They are still relatively wild, and on the other hand, these children are all novices in herding cattle, so they cannot be so skilled.

On the other hand, those children who only led one cow basically led a bull.

Compared with cows, bulls are bigger and stronger, and are undoubtedly more wild.

Especially when two bulls meet, it is easy for them to start butting their heads.

Even if they have nose rings, it is difficult for most children to pull them apart when faced with such a situation.

Han Cheng already knew about this situation, so he stood in Jinguan City and looked towards the place where the minors who were grazing cattle were. He saw from afar that the two cows came together again, ignoring the shouts and pulling of the ropes by the minors, and just butted their heads. Han Cheng secretly clenched his fists.

It seems that relying solely on the bull nose ring is not enough to restrain the restless hearts of these guys.

It seems that we need to pick a good day and let the people in the tribe pin these guys to the ground once again, and use knives to resolve some of the restlessness in their hearts and make them more calm.

If we remove the root of troubles with one stroke, they will certainly not be as impatient as they are now.

For example, the pigs raised in the tribe and some rams in the flock.

Before coming to this era, Han Cheng didn't quite understand why people castrated the animals they raised, and he thought such an operation was really cruel.

However, after coming to this world and as the number of animals raised in the tribe increased day by day, Han Cheng's thoughts disappeared.

Using a knife to castrate some of them is really a very good, very simple and effective way to solve the problem once and for all.

Well, in the words of later generations, it means to cut off and rule forever.

The two bulls were happily butting heads. I don’t know what Han Cheng was thinking at the moment. If he knew, I don’t know if he would still be in the mood to continue with this matter...
