Chapter 0066 This is human affairs!
The rice had already blossomed, and Ye Qing realized that he had overlooked a problem.
granary!
The tribe has no granary yet.
Before the typhoon, the tribe also had a granary, but it had been destroyed by the typhoon.
The tribe's granary is not any kind of granary that Ye Qing has seen in modern times. When Ye Qing first met, he was very surprised. He doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
Is this a granary?
How to store food?
It's really full of original style!
The tribe's granary is completely a sill-shaped building, a stilt building, with no walls, no seals, only thatched roofs!
When the tribesmen harvested rice, they did not thresh like in modern times. Instead, they directly harvested rice ears, dried them and tied them into bundles, and then hung them on the shelf in the granary.
These rice ears will only thresh when taken.
Doesn’t this storage greatly increase the possibility of food loss and mildew?
Why not store sealed after threshing?
Ye Qing thought about it and understood... there were not enough containers!
The tribes are very skilled in making pottery skills, but that refers to small pottery such as pottery cauldrons and pottery beans. Large pottery like jars are not visible in the tribe.
Pottery like urn is already considered the limit.
Ye Qing guessed that it was limited by pottery firing technology, and the tribe's talents did not make large pottery such as tanks.
If the threshed rice is stored in a tank, the number of tanks required is beyond the ability of the tribe.
After all, there is not much rice stored in a jar.
...
Ye Qing is preparing to build a granary with bricks.
There are more than 100,000 bricks fired at the brick making yard, but these bricks are still far from building houses.
The greenhouses where the tribe members now live have been expanded and processed, but in fact they are no longer much worse than the thatched huts that the tribe members used to live in. The huts used to be mud walls, but now they are covered with thatched huts in bamboo.
Mud walls and thatched walls are not very different for the tribe in the cold winter.
The matter of building a house must be adjourned, so the tribe members will just let it go. After all, living in thatched houses for so many years has been like this.
A lot of lime is also made in lime kilns for brick laying.
The fired lime was piled in a circle surrounded by blue bricks. Because the lime was prone to moisture, it was covered with wooden boards and a shed was built separately to prevent the lime from being wet by rain.
...
The place where the Fengfeng tribe is located is a sandbank in a swamp.
The Fangfeng tribe is located in the southwest corner of this sandbank.
This sandbank is three or four miles long from east to west, and three or four miles wide from north to south.
It's totally possible to build a city!
When Ye Qing clearly detected the terrain and made a sand table model, he was speechless.
This is really a Feng Shui treasure land!
The swamps around the sandbank will all become fertile fields after the dam is built up over the Zhushui River.
Even when a flood occurs, there is no need to worry about the safety of the tribe.
Floods cannot flood the sandbank.
He observed the traces of soil erosion by water, and the highest water level in previous years is where the tribe is now.
The center of the sandbank is high and the surrounding area is low, and it is completely in the shape of a bun. After repairing it in the future, it can form a platform that rises from the surroundings to the center.
The top of the center is the center of rights in the future.
This is in line with the aesthetics of the ancient times and more in line with the aesthetics of this era.
The aesthetic pursuit of this era is not modern greening, natural, and harmonious, but tall, majestic and spectacular.
Simply put, I like to create... wonders!
Faced with such a terrain, his new village planning is very simple.
He directly used the main center of the sandbank as the center of the new village.
The first phase of the new village he planned is a square with a side length of 500x500 meters.
Ye Qing planned four granaries in the new village, and the four granaries were separated by four places.
This is to avoid risks.
The most feared thing about granaries is fire. If a fire occurs, it will only damage one granary, and there are three granaries, so the tribe will not fall into a food crisis.
After all, it is almost impossible for a fire to occur in the granary separated in four places... unless it is a man-made disaster!
However, it is impossible for four granaries to be built at the same time. Currently, only the first granary is built.
After all, the construction of the granary is not negligible.
Food is the top priority, and the granary must be built to the best of its capacity.
To do:
Windproof, moisture-proof, setting fire, shockproof, insect-proof, rat-proof...
If windproof is not built too high, the appearance is also round; if fire is set, the use of wood should be minimized; if shockproof is to lay a solid foundation and build a solid wall; if moisture, insects and mice are prevented, a large amount of lime should be used to pave the floor and paint the walls...
In order to avoid risks, Ye Qing was so cautious that he was a little too crazy.
He also divided the interior of the granary into separate small barns with brick walls.
He has never seen the structure of modern large-scale grain storage granaries, only seen their own barns in rural areas.
So when designing, it is still a stupid method.
If a large granary cannot be built, then build a small granary. If a small granary is not enough, then build more land and build a large amount of land.
The final design of the granary was the wall, which was divided into 8 independent barns.
The capacity of each barn is about 10 cubic meters, and the total capacity of the barn is 80 cubic meters.
The tribe now has 400 mu of land. If the output is estimated, the yield per mu is more than 400 jin, even if this mu is a large acre of 1,200 square meters determined by Ye Qing.
Then the final harvest will be up to 80 tons of grain.
How big is a granary for 80 tons to store?
Ye Qing didn't know the density of grain, but he knew that rice would sink in water, so the density of rice must be greater than water. Then the accumulated volume of 80 tons of rice will not be greater than 80 cubic meters, and 80 tons of water will be 80 cubic meters.
Therefore, this 80 cubic granary is enough for current use.
The barn he designed was in bulk.
In this era, there were no grain bags, and Ye Qing did not intend to use precious cloth to make grain bags.
...
Qing is about to start building pottery houses!
This news spread wildly among the tribe members.
The tribe members put down their plans and ran around to tell each other, which was more active than watching Ye Qing's resurrection. The resurrection of man and death is too mysterious and related to God. In this era, there are too many things related to God.
The nature of building a house with pottery is completely different.
Qing once said that houses made of pottery are not afraid of hurricanes. This is a great thing for people to resist natural disasters and fight for life.
This matter has nothing to do with God!
This is personnel matters!
The pottery used to build houses was made by them!
When making bricks, they were curious and puzzled. How did pottery build houses? Now I can finally see them with my own eyes. How can they not flock to the tribe?
Sang watched his team members run away in a hurry. The team members who were usually very obedient and worked hard can't shout back no matter how hard they shouted.
In desperation, he also went to watch the fun.
Chapter completed!
