Chapter 0214 Bell and Drum Tower and Ancestral Temple

For the expansion project of the dam, Ye Qing arranged the responsible personnel at all levels and then handed them over to the tribe members for their own command.

The construction of the dam lasted for more than four months, and some people are already familiar with it.

The same work is repeated now, allowing already skilled tribe members to serve as responsible personnel to direct the construction. Although there will be some chaos at the beginning, there will be no major problems.

After observing for a few days, after the construction of the dam was smooth, Ye Qing stepped back to the tribe.

It is the slack season now, with sufficient manpower and tribal construction is also underway.

This time, two major buildings were built, one was the bell and drum tower and the other was the ancestral temple.

Now there are more tribesmen and their scope of activities is wider. The previous method of reporting time has become too practical.

Therefore, Ye Qing was preparing to cast a large bronze bell. If the bell sound was spread far, the bronze bell naturally needs to be placed higher.

On the other hand, the distinction between seasons and seasons also requires the tribe to control themselves. Relying on the Dayu Kingdom, it no longer works.

Therefore, Ye Qing was preparing to build a water transport gazebo platform, and Ye Qing was preparing to also place this water transport gazebo platform on the bell and drum tower.

Therefore, this bell and drum tower is a comprehensive building, not only tall but also large.

The platform is required to place bronze bells and water transport gazebos.

There is no cement now, so the construction of the platform is very problematic.

It is not feasible to pour floors on floors like modern times, but it is not very reliable to use wood to make floors and is easily destroyed by fires. If blue bricks are used as vaults, the tribe's skills are not up to standard, so it is difficult to last long and not collapse.

Therefore, Ye Qing simply designed it as a solid platform, and the outer layer was built with blue bricks to prevent rainwater from erosion, and the inner layer was rammed with earth.

The steps up and down the platform can only be built outside the platform.

Although the utilization rate of the bell and drum tower built in this way is low, it is strong enough.

There is no way. In this era, the construction technology and materials do not meet the standards, so they can only focus on stability and cannot make too many tricks.

The main body is to rammed soil, and it cannot be built too steeply. The shape that is straight up and down will easily collapse.

Therefore, the final design effect is a flat-topped pyramid.

In order to make this bell and drum tower strong enough, the soil built is not ordinary soil. Ye Qing added river sand and lime to the soil, which is the three-combination soil.

Sanhe soil will last for a long time and will not be damaged by humans, and it will not be a problem to keep it for thousands of years.

The platform on the top of the Bell and Drum Tower was designed by Ye Qing enough.

On the top platform, Ye Qing was preparing to build several buildings similar to pavilions.

The buildings are equipped with copper bells, big drums, and water transport gazebos.

The top platform is a square with a side length of 20 meters, the height of the platform is also 20 meters, the bottom side length of the base is 60 meters, and the slope of the platform has an inclination angle of 45 degrees.

Looking at the final design effect, Ye Qing understood a question that he didn't understand before, that is, why there are so many pyramid buildings left over from all over the world.

I think that if prehistoric human construction technology fails, if the building is built high enough, the base must be wide enough. The final result will naturally be the shape of the pyramid.

The construction requirements of the ancestral temple also require high and large.

Therefore, Ye Qing adopts the same design as the bell and drum tower.

There is no way, this is the most rugged and durable building structure that can be built under existing conditions.

The base of the ancestral temple is also 60 meters long, but the height of the top platform is lower, only 10 meters, but the area is much larger, and the side length of the top platform is 40 meters.

In this way, there are more ancestral temple buildings that can be built on the platform.

In the plan, the function of the ancestral temple is not only to worship ancestors, but Ye Qing is preparing to give it more functions, so there are more buildings needed.

Now, all the tribes around have been gathered together, and most of the marriages of tribes can only be carried out within the tribe.

In order to prevent close relatives from marrying, Ye Qing planned to establish a blood lineage of the tribe and conduct strict review of the marriage of the tribe.

In the future, Ye Qing also plans to regulate a series of ritual norms for the tribe.

The first year ritual, coming-of-age ceremony, wedding, funeral, etc. of the birth of the tribe, will be managed and registered by the ancestral temple.

Dozens of tribes gathered and dozens of witches, putting them aside and ignoring them is inappropriate, and there must be a place to go.

The Ancestral Temple is a good place for these witches.

Therefore, the final ancestral temple will be a relatively large management institution.

After the design is completed, construction begins.

The construction project is very simple, and the main task is to build. There are no technical requirements, and all tribesmen who can work can do it.

The surface of the platform is not difficult for the existing skilled brickworkers in the tribe.

Ye Qing mobilized a thousand tribe members to build these two platforms.

The digging, transporting soil, and ramming were not very different from the construction project of the dam, so Ye Qing once again handed over the work to his tribe members.

There are also tribe members who can’t do it, and they need to do things that he needs to do with his own hands to wait for him.

In the bell and drum tower, there are already drums, but there are not yet bells.

He was going to cast a large bronze bell.

He came to the copper smelting workshop.

The scale of the copper smelting workshop has also expanded, and many young people have been selected from various tribes to join.

Taikang led a hundred dragon-armored soldiers to guard here.

With one hundred dragon armored soldiers, the guards of the copper smelting workshop became even more stringent.

The importance of this copper smelting workshop is unquestionable, and the guard work will continue.

Ye Qing first came to the copper mine.

The number of people digging copper mines has also increased significantly, reaching more than 200.

However, so many people are still inconspicuous for such a large copper mine. After so long digging, only a small gap was dug in the copper mine.

Ye Qing inspected and the mining work was carried out in an orderly manner, and he was very satisfied.

Here, he also saw the slaves of Youtu.

More than a dozen slaves were guarded under the supervision of two hundred people, and it was impossible to escape. Therefore, they did not perform any escape and looked very obedient.

As for their hearts, hatred still exists.

These slaves have basically learned the language of windproof and can eat enough in terms of food.

In the absence of manpower, Ye Qing also wanted to eliminate their hatred and integrate and absorb them.

But the tribe's population is already 10,000, and I don't care about these dozen people.

There is no great benefit to absorbing them, but the harm is quite large.

With hatred, once they become free people, they will cause great harm to the tribe.

Therefore, Ye Qing never thought of releasing them to become free people.

Let them be under supervision and mine until they die.

When he came to the copper smelting workshop, Ye Qing was very excited when he saw the large amount of copper ingots piled up.

This time, he was preparing to show off his skills and cast an unprecedented bronze bell to allow the Tubaozi people to gain some insights.
