Chapter 292: Farming and Infrastructure Construction in Primitive Society 07
The Ah Yu in the original owner’s memory seldom went out, and even if she did
, she was cautiously surrounded by a bunch of men, and she was out of tune with the whole world. Ah Yu was always talked about for her fair and tender skin and petite figure.
She was envied by the women in the tribe and sought after by the men in the tribe.
Jiang Lan felt that the Ah Yu in the original owner’s memory was not like a witch, but a pet. She
was even an object that attracted competition because of her rarity.
Now Ah Yu gets along well with the women in the tribe. She is not very strong, but she can hold a lot of space and can help many people transport things. Over time, everyone’s impression of her has improved a lot.
Mo was very concerned about Ah Yu, and always gave her something every now and then, but she gave it away.
Ah Yu also figured it out. It is much better to rely on herself than to rely on men.
The men in this tribe look strong, but they are not as strong as a woman like Jiang Lan.
In the past, she would be complacent because of the men's dedication and diligence, but now she just feels that they are a nuisance and wishes to stay away from them.
The changes in the tribe this year are huge, and all the lakes and leaders have seen it.
Jiang Lan arranged work within their capabilities for everyone in the tribe. The young warriors went hunting, the women farmed, the elderly dried fish and meat, and the children twisted hemp ropes.
After having a job, the atmosphere of the whole tribe became lively, and everyone's eyes gradually had hope and light.
Being able to live with dignity is the happiest thing for the elders in the tribe.
Considering the coming of winter, the tribesmen's ability to resist the cold is not strong, Jiang Lan feels that living in a cave is somewhat inappropriate.
The Huangyan tribe has a good geographical location, and there is a clay belt nearby, which is completely suitable for burning bricks.
As long as a batch of bricks are burned, the people in the tribe can live in brick houses.
A Yu, the transport team leader, soon began to move bricks again, no... it should be a career of moving soil.
Jiang Lan built a brick kiln, and she planned to burn a batch of bricks to build a batch of houses before winter comes, at least to ensure that the elderly and children can spend the winter safely.
Burning bricks is divided into several steps, soaking the soil to saturate the clay, and mixing the mud to maximize the stickiness of the soil.
Later, the bricks need to be beaten and put on the shelves. Finally, the dried adobe bricks are stacked in the kiln and fired at high temperature to make bricks.
Having bricks is obviously not enough. There was no cement in primitive society, so how to stick bricks together is also a problem.
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but be excited to see Jiang Lan doing infrastructure projects, and they also began to help with ideas.
[Lime mortar, lime, sand and gravel are mixed together to make lime mortar. ]
[There is a material called mirage ash, which is made by firing oyster shells and clam shells. ]
[Use glutinous rice lime mortar, glutinous rice soup is mixed into lime mortar, and a new composite mortar will be formed. The strength of glutinous rice lime mortar is much higher than that of pure lime mortar, comparable to concrete. 】
【Oh, yes, there is also a building material formed by mixing red mud, coarse sand, and lime blocks and compacting them together...】
Jiang Lan: Thank you everyone, but under the current conditions, we can only use the first type.
Although lime mortar is the worst of the several building materials, it is the most convenient to obtain. It just so happens that relevant materials can be found near the Huangyan tribe.
In the Huangyan tribe, the first house-building competition has begun.
Jiang Lan personally demonstrated to them how to lay the foundation and how to lay bricks. She gave detailed training to ensure that the houses they built must be qualified.
Each member of the team that won the first place will receive a plastic washbasin and a towel sponsored by Ayu.
The prizes greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the warriors, and everyone turned into a master of architecture.
The entire tribe became a large construction site, and the supply of bricks was almost out of stock.
Seeing the red brick and tile houses being built, Jiang Lan nodded with satisfaction.
The primitive plane is the plane with the lowest technological content among all the planes Jiang Lan has traveled through, but it is also the most down-to-earth. The changes brought about by each invention are huge.
The cave is cold and damp, and there are no windows. After a long time, there is a smell.
This smell cannot be removed by keeping it clean.
Places where sunlight cannot reach will always breed a lot of bacteria, and these damages are invisible to the naked eye.
After moving into the new house, the people of the Huangyan tribe realized that life could be so comfortable.
The air is fresh, the light is bright, and I don't have to sleep on the damp ground. I feel refreshed.
With a house, other supporting items are also needed, such as beds, tables, and stools. How can these things be missing? The
more Jiang Lan thought about it, the more he felt that there needed to be a universal currency in the tribe.
There is no problem with the short-term Datong social model, and everyone is willing to congratulate themselves for their own strength.
But over time, eating from the same pot will become a disadvantage.
Human nature likes to take advantage of loopholes. When the time comes, the hardworking people will become the ones who suffer the most, which goes against Jiang Lan's original intention.
But what is the most appropriate currency to use?
The Huangyan tribe doesn't have any shells, so they can only use other things...
Jiang Lan thought about it and decided to use hemp ropes instead of currency.
She dyed the hemp ropes, and different colors of hemp ropes represent different currency values.
Red hemp ropes are the most valuable, black hemp ropes are the second most valuable, and blue hemp ropes are the cheapest.
The dyes for these hemp ropes all come from the ink provided by A-Yu, so there is no possibility of counterfeiting.
After all, even if it is a counterfeit, the color difference will be relatively large and can be seen at a glance. In
addition to choosing to barter, the tribesmen can also send their prey or food to the tribe's exchange hall to exchange for hemp ropes.
The hemp rope can be exchanged for common items in the tribe, as well as some rare items, such as ironware, clothes, and some strange and delicious foods.
Because all these sponsored items came from Ayu, Jiang Lan directly arranged her to be the person in charge of the redemption hall.
More than half of the inventory in Ayu's space was emptied, but she was still happy and felt that she had a heavy responsibility, so she was particularly diligent and responsible every day.
Now everyone who works in the tribe can get a hemp rope reward.
Whether it is the elderly or children, as long as they participate in the labor, they can get rewards.
Jiang Lan does take care of relatively weak groups such as the elderly, children, and women, but care is care, she only helps those who are self-reliant.
As for lazy people, forget it.
When the tide goes out, you will know who is swimming naked.
After the monetary wage settlement system was established, those who did not work were immediately exposed.
Seeing that other tribesmen had accumulated a lot of hemp ropes and lived a better and better life,
those lazy people became anxious and began to look for work.
Soon, various small businesses became popular in the tribe.
Jiang Lanwu accidentally discovered that some tribesmen had already started selling homemade furniture. As expected, everyone has great potential.
With a little stimulation, all kinds of talents will emerge like bamboo shoots after rain.
