Chapter 170 Palace or School? (Please vote and subscribe)
After designing the detailed structure of the first generation loom and the size of each part, Luo Chong wrote all these data on a wooden board with charcoal and gave it to Mutun to make the parts first, mainly the frame and several large and small scrolls. When they were almost ready, Luo Chong would assemble them himself.
After arranging these things, Luo Chong went to the river alone, where many people were waiting for him. There was a big event today. After hundreds of people's unremitting efforts, the backwater river was about to be completed. Today was the day to break through the last barrier and divert water to the backwater river.
This backwater river connection ceremony was not as difficult as the last time. The last time was in early spring, the river was still frozen, and the Han tribe had only dozens of available laborers at that time. Now everything is different. Among the new clan members of the Han tribe, there are already several who are good at swimming.
The most important thing is that summer is only a month away. The weather in late spring has begun to get hot. The tribesmen who can swim are eager to jump into the river and soak in it. It is no longer the time to go ashore to warm themselves up by the fire a few months ago.
This time Luo Chong did not do it. The remaining work of digging through the backwater river was completed by the young men of the Ao and Chai clans. Others helped to transport soil on the shore.
The progress of the excavation was very fast. Dozens of people took turns to work. The river channel of the backwater river and the barrier of the small river were cut off layer by layer. When only 40 centimeters of thickness were left, a big hole was dug out of the last barrier. The loose soil layer at the top one meter high was the first to fail to withstand the impact of the river water and collapsed directly, and also washed away the three-meter-deep clay layer below.
Although the river channel was not completely washed away, and there were still some "stubborn" earth walls, it was not a problem. When the entire water circulation system was dug, those stubborn elements would be washed away sooner or later.
The Huishui River had water, and Luo Chong's first order was that everyone had to go to the Huishui River to take a bath and wash things. The diversion river in the north could only be used to supply daily drinking water. Those who violated the order would have their food deducted for one day.
The tribesmen were very puzzled by this, and Luo Chong did not preach to them, but simply said that it would be less likely to get sick.
When they heard the word "getting sick", the tribesmen silently shrank their necks, and no one questioned it again.
The Huishui River was completed, but the work of burning bricks was not over. The clay dug out had been made into bricks and tiles, neatly stacked under the straw shed waiting to be fired in the kiln, but firing the kiln did not require so much manpower, and the hundreds of people who had dug the river before were all idle at this time, waiting for Luo Chong to arrange new work for them.
What should I do? Luo Chong thought about it, and the most important task at present was to build houses. At least three urban areas of houses, that is, nearly 300 houses, should be built first to meet the living needs of the current population of more than 2,000 in the Han tribe.
Although nearly half of the two thousand people are children, they can't sleep in the wild, not to mention that Luo Chong wants them to study. After all, they are the flowers of the motherland, cough, and tribe.
Thinking of this, a preliminary plan emerged in Luo Chong's mind, about the construction of the central city.
Before, Luo Chong had always wanted to build the central city into a square. Of course, it has not changed now, but it would be a bit wasteful to pave the whole square. An urban area with a length and width of 110 meters is about the size of two football fields. A small half of the area can be reserved for the construction of public facilities, such as a school and Luo Chong's home.
Yes, Luo Chong plans to live in the school. Well, it can't be said that he wants to put his yard in the school. After all, the space is limited, so it should be saved.
Speaking of saving space, it can actually be seen from modern times. Look at the modern houses, ah, those buildings, ah, one is higher than the other. A piece of land that can only accommodate two families can be stacked up to accommodate dozens of families. It's crazy. Luo Chong
also intends to be crazy. Moreover, he is the leader. The leader's residence must be high-end, grand, and upscale. Not to mention the whole palace, at least it can't be a one-story bungalow. It must have two floors, no, at least three floors.
The simple plan is this: the square city area with a side length of 110 meters is divided according to the north-south direction. The north is the school, the south is the square, and the intersection in the middle is the flagpole, which is now called the clan flag, and will become the national flag in the future.
The square in the southern half is 70 meters wide and 110 meters long from east to west; the northern half is 40 meters wide from north to south and 110 meters long from east to west. Needless to say, the square is flat, just talk about the layout of the school.
The school has no walls. Yes, it is to save space. Besides, it is already inside a circle of city walls. It would be too much to build another wall. This is not a certain capital that occupies an entire city.
At the northernmost end of the entire central urban area, in the middle, is Luo Chong's house. It is 16 meters wide from north to south and 26 meters long from east to west. It is expected to have more than three floors and at least cannot be lower than the teaching building.
With Luo Chong's house as the center, there are teaching buildings on both sides, two on the east and west sides. Each building is 16 meters wide from north to south and 35 meters long from east to west. Each floor can be divided into at least six classrooms, and there are stairs.
The teaching building must have at least three floors. If a classroom can accommodate 50 students, then six classrooms on one floor can accommodate 300 people, and three floors can accommodate 900 people. Four such teaching buildings can accommodate 3,600 students. The maximum number of people living in this entire urban area is about 5,000. These four buildings can fully accommodate all children going to school at the same time.
Moreover, in the foreseeable future, these four buildings may not be fully occupied by students. Some floors can even be vacated to be used as libraries or something to preserve the knowledge that Luo Chong left for them.
After planning these, Luo Chong began to arrange new jobs for the tribesmen who had just finished digging the river, and merged them all into the construction team to build houses.
The original team of 20 construction teams that Luo Chong personally taught at the beginning had been divided into four groups of five people, and some wild men sent by Youfu were added. Each group has about a dozen people, and now four houses can be built at the same time.
Now these four groups of people have been split again, directly into 20 groups. The original team of the construction team has been directly upgraded to team leaders. The backbone of each group member is the team leader, and there are also wild men who have already participated in the construction of a house. The tribesmen who have just returned from digging the river are assigned to each group as supplementary personnel. After all, they have no experience in building houses, and they have to start from the simplest foundation and wall.
The reassigned construction teams have reached 20 groups, each with no less than 20 people, from masons, to laborers who mix mud and move bricks, to masters who lay bricks and build corners. Although some people are still unskilled, they learn quickly. After all, only through practice can one gain experience.
The Han tribe also entered the large-scale construction phase from this day, and the residential area rose rapidly at a rate of 20 households each time.
