Chapter 301 New Xia City, new atmosphere
Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Today, people in the Xia tribe started getting busy early in the morning.
One of the major things that the Xia tribe has to do is to move everyone to the new city. Although the new city has not yet been fully completed and some functional rooms have not yet been built, it does not affect the lives of the Xia tribe people.
There was a busy scene inside and outside the tribe, and everyone's face was filled with smiles. They packed their only belongings, and during the packing process, people helped each other.
They are full of expectations and joy for their new life, and use their hard work and intelligence to build a new home and make their lives better. This joy and expectation brings them hope and confidence for every day in the future.
Wang Wei, who was standing on the city wall, looked across the river. Although there were tall trees blocking the river bank, he seemed to be able to see through.
This is so unusual. The Beidi people have not come to Xia tribe to collect pottery for more than five days. They must be holding back something bad.
According to reports, the savages on the other side of the river have been frequently observing the Xia tribe recently. They even walked up and down the river bank to get the best angle and position to observe the Xia tribe. This is the Xia tribe casting nets in the river to catch fish.
Wang Wei didn't know what they wanted to do yet.
Therefore, for the safety of the Xia tribe people, he asked everyone to move to the inner city to avoid a sudden attack by the Beidi people.
Even if the Beidi people suddenly came to the Xia tribe, they would not be panicked.
In the past few days, the Xia tribe has built a hot spring hut in the hot spring valley. After Wang Wei and others finished their training, they could soak in the hot spring to relieve their fatigue.
On the way to Muma Village, a simple transfer station was built on a highland, surrounded by wooden fences to protect them from wild beasts, and several large thatched houses were built. Importantly, they also deliberately built a beacon tower.
There are usually several people stationed here, and at least one group of the Xia tribe's hunting group comes here every day. They train their riding skills here and practice assassination with swords and guns on horseback.
The Xia tribe's iron armor and iron helmets were also officially finalized and production began. Although the whole body equipment is still heavy, it is much lighter than the first test.
Wearing the new armor of the Xia tribe, holding a new iron shield and a new spear, there are wrist guards on the arms, gloves on the palms, and knee pads on the lower body.
Wearing uniform equipment and looking energetic, who dares to say that the Xia tribe is weak with such a team? Let alone a mere barbarian people, even an army would be intimidated! What's more, Wang Wei has to deal with those primitive people
.
The new armor can make a unique metallic sound when walking, which sounds so charming.
At present, the Xia tribe has only produced more than a dozen sets of iron armor, which cannot meet Wang Wei's needs at all.
In addition, they have also produced more than thirty crossbows. The effective range of the crossbows can reach about one hundred meters, and their lethality is about sixty meters.
Five man-made trebuchets were also built for the defense of the city. Under the full pull of ten people, the man-made trebuchets could throw stone projectiles to a distance of more than 170 meters. A counterweight trebuchet was also being built to carry heavy loads.
The force is provided by falling objects and gravity.
He planned to mark the distance with lime and special wooden stakes so that he could later judge the enemy's distance based on these marks.
The grassroots and grass-roots people found Wang Wei.
Grassroots said: "Your Majesty, all the houses, canteens, toilets, warehouses, iron smelting shops and animal pens have been built, but the animal pens are too small to hold so many animals."
Wang Wei said:
"In addition to horses, cattle and mules, I have arranged for Xia Dao to further clean up other animals and screen out the male-female ratio and the old and weak animals. The selected animals will be bred in the city, and the others can be raised in the city.
outside, or killed for food.”
Cao Ming asked: "What should we build first? For example, schools, barracks, small hospitals, government offices, squares and ground floor hardening, etc."
Wang Wei replied: "This is easy to do. You build it in this order: barracks, yamen, small hospital, school, square and ground floor hardening. The square and ground floor can be done at the same time. Barracks and yamen, small hospital and school can be
Build them separately and together.”
Cao Ming asked: "Your Majesty, does this city have a name?"
Wang Wei was suddenly asked because he had never considered this issue.
"That's a good question from Elder Cao Ming. I originally wanted to consult everyone's opinions during the meeting in the evening. Since you asked, you and Elder Cao Ming can think about it in advance."
Cao Gen asked: "Does the king have a name in mind?"
Wang Wei said casually: "This is the first city of the Xia tribe. What do I think of naming it 'Xia City'?"
Cao Gen and Cao Ming laughed and said, "Your Majesty, we think so too."
Wang Wei smiled and said: "Then there is no need to discuss this name with everyone."
"Exactly."
Therefore, Wang Wei officially named the new city the name of "Xia City" which he casually mentioned, and requested that a city gate plaque be made. With this in mind, a flag will also be erected on the city gate with the characters of Xia tribe.
New flag.
Wang Wei and Cao Gen Cao Ming went down to the city wall together and went back to look at everyone's houses.
As the Xia tribe moved from Mu Zhaishan to the inner city, it brought joy to everyone. The rooms they lived in had house numbers. When they saw familiar people, everyone would say hello and ask, "Who are you?"
Which building and number are you going to?', someone will respond proudly.
Wang Wei numbers every room in each house. For example, the house number of the third single room in the first building is 01-03. For example, the house number of the courtyard where Wang Wei lives is 01-01. He gave it a number.
A special name is called No. 1 Courtyard. The courtyard is not big, but the name must be grand.
In addition, the group leaders or outstanding technical personnel of the tribe in the Xia tribe will be assigned to live in single rooms. The so-called single room is actually one room in a row of houses. The whole row of houses is divided into small single rooms of more than ten square meters.
In this whole row of houses, there are connected fire pits, with a firewood shed for burning the kang at one end and a smoke outlet at the other end.
Datongpu is a place where more than 20 people live together, and they are also heated by a fire kang. Most of the people living here are single men and women from the Xia tribe. In the future, pairs will be arranged in single rooms. However, there will not be so many places in the inner city of the Xia tribe.
Build.
Wang Wei's plan was to plant rice vigorously to provide a stable food source after eliminating the threat from the Beidi people, and then expand the city wall at the location of the original wooden fence.
In addition to Wang Wei's courtyard house, there are five small courtyard buildings in the new town. Among them, Grandma Rong, Grandma Wei and Lao Zheyu live in one building, while Cao Gen Cao Ming lives in the other two buildings. However, they are not willing to move now.
Going in, they said they were single now and would move in after their women and children came back. Wang Wei understood their feelings, so he left these yards empty.
In Courtyard No. 1, several women in the hut were a little confused. Faced with so many rooms, how should they live? They didn't know how to choose, because this was no longer the large single-room house before.
After two major renovations, Wang Wei’s courtyard house now has the following layout:
On the left is the house door. After entering, there are several houses on the right, which are used as kitchens, warehouses, firewood rooms and laundry rooms. Outside these houses are corridors.
There are east and west wing rooms on both sides of the yard after entering the house, both with corridors. The west wing room has two rooms and a warehouse; the east wing room has a room, a bathroom and a shower room.
Above the center of the yard is the main room and the wing room, but Wang Wei changed the main room on the first floor and the wing room on the right into a living room and dining room, and added a stairwell to go up to the second floor.
The rooms on the second floor include a main room and a side room. The main room is larger and can sleep many people. There is a larger room above the east wing, which is seventy or eighty square meters and has only a fireplace.
, this is Wang Wei's gym; there are two rooms and a terrace above the west wing.
In addition, there is a yard behind the living room with a well, pavilion, etc.
There are many rooms because it is built on double floors, and the extra rooms can be used as guest rooms or used to store sundries.
When Wang Wei arrived, he asked several women to gather in the living room. He suggested that they not choose the downstairs room because it had just been built and might be very humid. But there were four bedrooms upstairs, Mei, Hua, and Su Xiaoxiao.
He Li and Hu Meizi are not enough to live in.
In the end, Wang Wei made the decision. Hua and Su Xiaoxiao lived in one room, and the others each had a room. Mei lived in the main room and the left wing, and Hu Meizi and Li lived in the two rooms in the west wing respectively.
This allocation aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. First of all, Hua and Su Xiaoxiao wanted to live with Mei in the main room. Their reason was that the main room was large and it would be warmer to sleep together; Hu Meizi and Li also did not agree to sleep alone.
Asked to move to the main house.
Wang Wei also agreed.
Fortunately, the main room is really big and can accommodate everyone.
Chapter completed!
