Cement, bamboo chips, beams, pillars and other materials needed to build a house have been prepared.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Dongfeng is Mufeng's method, and he has to do everything himself.
Originally, Mufeng planned to build one large earthen building directly, but considering the area occupied and the difficulty of construction, he had to change from one to four.
And make a small one first, if there is any error in the middle, it can also prevent waste of materials.
The construction of earth buildings pays attention to "strength". In addition to the foundation that must be tamped tightly, the wall foundation must be strong enough and thick enough.
In order to achieve this effect, Mufeng changed the conventional adobe wall from 60 cm to 80 cm.
In this way, the difficulty of ramming the earth into a wall also increases.
Fortunately, he didn't just borrow the method of ramming earth from his previous life, but made an empty mold with bamboo slices, and put mixed hay, clay, and sand in the middle for ramming.
After the earth wall was formed and the bamboo pieces were removed, he asked the tribe to find stones, and put another circle of stones against the earth wall, with grass mud in the middle.
All this is simple to say, but it took the entire Jiang family two days of time!
However, these are relatively simple compared with the inner layer.
Because the inner layer needs to be bonded with pure stone and cement.
This requires that the difference in the size of the stones to be found should not be too large, and the demand for cement is also large.
Fortunately, there is no lack of other things in the tribe, except stones and plant ash.
No matter how many stones are in demand, there are no more stones surrounded by mountains on three sides.
As for plant ash, even if the tribe's reserves are not enough, they can still get local materials by cutting down some dry trees and hay.
Stone and plant ash are the least scarce things in primitive society.
As the outer two-layer wall has been formed, the construction personnel in the tribe have roughly figured out what Mufeng is going to do.
What they can't understand is what Mufeng can do if he builds them such a "house" that is not much different from a cave.
Li Hu and Ming Guang wanted to ask Mu Feng, but worried that they would not understand what Mu Feng said, so they had to give up.
The "Jiang's three-story wall" was finally completed five days later, combining the three exterior wall features of Hakka earthen buildings, rural old adobe houses, and southern Yunnan stone attics that Mu Feng had seen in his previous life.
The "Mu's Tulou" that Mu Feng wants to build has already begun to take shape.
Next is to do the top.
Considering the actual situation, Mufeng planned that the second floor would not be inhabited, and would only be used to store some important supplies and defend against foreign enemies.
This saves engineering effort.
The earth building covers an area of about 2,000 square meters and is roughly in the shape of a circle.
To make the roof, you need to build a room of houses on the inner layer, and then cover the roof and directly spread the whole wall of the house with black skin bamboo.
In order to reflect the windproof, waterproof and fireproof characteristics of the tulou as much as possible, he did not hesitate to let the clansmen work overtime to burn the cement, and separated it from the house with a stone wall.
The third floor of the earth building already has the characteristics of fire prevention and waterproof.
But Mufeng wants the inner layer to have such a function.
Using cement and stone to build walls, even if there is a problem in one or two of the houses and a fire occurs, it will not affect other rooms, and it will be convenient for later repairs.
The members of the Jiang family were still unfamiliar when building the outer wall, but when they were sticking to the wall to build the inner wall, their speed had become faster.
This time, within two days, the prototype of the house, which is more than three meters high and almost the same height as the outer wall, has been built.
Now, as long as the roof is closed, people can live in it.
However, what Mufeng wants to do is not to seal the roof, but to make a row of black-skinned bamboo for the roof around the wall of the house. The bamboo is covered with hay and grass handles, and then spread a layer, and then paste a layer on top of it. Grass mud, compact and spread evenly.
Immediately afterwards, he asked the clansmen to build a wall up from the outer wall of the first floor to form a wall about two meters high. On the bamboo roof, a circle of pillars was supported by black bark bamboo.
Bamboo wall columns are connected with the outer skin, and finally the roof is sealed.
The roof is naturally inclined from the inside to the outside along a certain slope, and it extends out for more than one meter. They are all paved with bamboo branches, still covered with hay and covered with grass mud, and the outermost layer is a large dense layer. The leaves are thatched.
Finally, the "Mu's Earth Building", which took about ten days, was finally completed.
Seen from the outside, the whole tulou looks like a blockhouse made of stone, with small windows on the upper and lower floors.
If viewed from the air, the ground looks like a ring-like rock mound protruding from the ground. There are vaguely square partitions inside the rock mound, and some people come in and out from the middle.
After being in it, you will find that the inside is very open and bright, especially the steeple-shaped roof that gradually gathers from bottom to top gives people a thick, warm and solid feeling.
The ground is a cement floor paved with stones mixed with cement, and it has been smoothed evenly with square wooden boards, which is strong and comfortable.
Except for Mu Feng, all the clansmen were too excited to speak.
Even if they have never seen the house again, they now know what the earth building is used for.
Li Hu even said excitedly: "Chief, is this the house you mentioned? With a house like this, even if the rainy day lasts for a long time, we don't have to worry about it!"
Mu Feng smiled and nodded, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, not because of the shortcomings of the Tulou, but because of Li Hu's ignorance.
"Rainproof is nothing!" Mu Feng laughed, "As long as all of us live in earthen buildings, the Manglong tribe will have nothing to do with us when they come again!
Not only that, with this earthen building, we can make them retreat in spite of difficulties! "
"Really?" Li Hu excitedly said.
Although he didn't doubt Mu Feng's words, he didn't know that this was just a house for living, how could he defeat the enemy?
Mu Feng saw Li Hu's doubts, and also wanted to take this opportunity to teach the tribe how to use the tulou in the future, turned around and said, "Han Shu, bring a few people and go up to the tulou, and let you see the benefits of the tulou!"
"Yes!" Han Shu led several people to climb upstairs from the simple stairs that had been built in the building.
Mu Feng led Li Hu and the others to the outside of the building, and he shouted inside: "Han Shu, have you seen the tree next to me, shoot it with an arrow!"
"Great Chief!" Li Hu was puzzled, "They're inside the house, what about the arrows..."
Before the words were finished, there was a "whoosh", and a bamboo arrow flew from the direction of the window to the tree trunk!
"This..." Li Hu was excited, and he also understood what Mu Feng said.
"Such a house!" Li Hu's face flushed red with excitement, "If members of the Jiang clan live in it, why worry about it!"
The other clansmen also understood, looked at Mu Feng with fanaticism, knelt down on one knee, and saluted with one hand upward.
"The Great Chief!"
"Great chief and great sage!"
"God bless ginger!"
