I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 141 Simple Rammed Earth Success

That’s right.

Now all that's missing is the word "joy".

Li Mosi felt that she had completely understood the system.

He wasted no time and turned to look at Zi Yi.

"In ancient times, when wise and virtuous kings established a country, the first thing they did was to explore the environment, determine the direction, and divide responsibilities."

"When responsibilities are clearly defined, people will know what they should do, and knowing their responsibilities will make things go more smoothly."

Ziyi nodded.

"Master, shouldn't there be more to etiquette than just these?"

"Of course, there are more than just these."

Li Moss shook his head.

"You haven't even finished learning the Thousand Character Classic, so I can't explain it to you in detail. I will teach you when you need to use it."

He hadn't actually studied it systematically.

He had read a little of the Book of Rites, but he couldn't memorize it.

I only have a general idea of ​​what to do.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zi'an.

Zi'an looked like he was deep in thought.

The saintess turned her head again: "Isn't this just a natural thing? Only goblins don't have a division of labor."

She thought the craftsman was going to preach some profound truth.

Is that all?

"So this is the difference in environment."

Li Mosi reached out and snapped Hagi Saint's head back into place, then looked at her two disciples.

"I will teach you slowly."

Environment shapes people.

What he considered common sense, Hagi Saint didn't know; what Hagi Saint considered common sense, the original body didn't know; and his two disciples knew even more.

Zi'an nodded and pushed Hagi Saint forward even harder.

Who are you calling a goblin?!

"Hey! What are you doing!"

……

"Master, what shall we do today?"

"Let me teach you how to ram the soil first, as a simple practice exercise."

The next morning, everyone gathered again at the foot of the mountain.

However, instead of going their separate ways, they gathered together on Zi Yi's orders.

"What does the leader want to do?"

Why are you standing on the slope?

The slaves were also somewhat puzzled.

Are you building a wall on the slope today?

"Just listen to the adults."

Looking at the tightly packed line, Li Mosi turned to his two disciples: "Ziyi, you stand on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. Zian, tell them to spread out."

"Yes, Master!"

The two disciples immediately did as instructed.

"Go down a little further! Stand on flat ground!"

"Here?"

"Can!"

Still half asleep, Hagi Saint frowned as he looked at Li Mosi in front of him, then turned to look at Zi Yi down the slope.

What are these two doing?

Of course, they're measuring distance.

By tracking Zi Yi on [Leshan Shui], Li Mosi learned his location and the distance to the flat land below the slope.

It is about thirty-seven meters.

The reason for choosing this location is that it is a bit higher up compared to the surrounding area.

Not much, just a meter or two.

But we can use a wall to block the opening.

Then he and Ziyi measured the width of the opening.

Twenty-four meters.

It's a good place to practice.

"Wow! I brought the things over!"

"It's a bit heavy."

The four goblin craftsmen brought up everything they had made the day before from the bottom of the slope.

Zi Yi pointed to the side.

"Just leave it here."

As soon as the four goblins put down their tools, a group of people nearby immediately peered over.

"What is this?"

"It looks like the head of the shovel has been flattened?"

"Why is there a hole on the edge of that wooden plank?"

"There are also bumps."

"There was a rope tied to the tree trunk..."

The goblin's squawking and the prisoners' hushed discussions mingled together, making the scene suddenly noisy.

"Quiet!"

"Quiet!"

Ziyi and Zian each shouted, and the discussion immediately stopped.

Seeing that the tribespeople had quieted down, Zi Yi spoke up: "Today, the new elder will guide you in building walls with earth! Do a good job!"

"Yes, Chief!"

After the goblins agreed, they poked their heads out again.

How do you use soil to build walls?

The prisoners couldn't understand each other's language, so they could only stick their heads out and look around curiously.

Li Mosi had already started working on it with four craftsmen.

"Put this in here. Good, it won't wobble anymore, that should be enough."

The goblin craftsmen couldn't understand what Li Moss was saying, so they could only watch his demonstration intently.

Zi Yi quickly began to translate.

"Insert it like this, and make sure it doesn't wobble anymore!"

The template consists of two long wooden boards and one short wooden board, which together form a square frame that is missing one side.

The frame is about one meter long, more than half a meter wide, and more than half a meter deep. It is fixed with wooden pins at both corners, and there is an "H"-shaped frame on the outside of the wooden board on the open side.

It's quite sturdy.

Li Mosi looked at Zi Yi.

"Next, we need to fill it with soil. Ziyi, tell them to go and bring some clean soil."

"Yes, Master."

Zi Yi turned to the goblins and gave them orders, then repeated them to the prisoners.

Everyone quickly sprang into action.

They soon dug a pile of soil back from the foot of the mountain.

At Zi Yi's command, the goblins poured the soil into the basket.

Then, on Li Moss's orders, the prisoners grabbed the ropes on the side of the ramming tool and began to swing it.

Li Mosi even hired two people to watch over the area to prevent the tamping tool from hitting the template.

boom! boom! boom!

The swings weren't large, but each time they kicked up a cloud of dust.

This sight left the Holy Maiden dumbfounded.

Is this... correct?

She stared wide-eyed at Li Mosi.

"Craftsman, do you really know how to build walls using earth?"

She had seen tree trunks bound with hemp rope before.

But this is for leveling the ground!

Zi'an looked over: "You think you know more than my late master?"

This woman looks like someone who doesn't do any work.

Its hands and feet are like a baby's.

"Eh! My mom..."

Just as Hagi Saint began to gesticulate, Li Mosi pinched his mouth shut.

Zi Yi noticed the situation and came over as well.

"We're doing this as a temporary defense and also to practice. As long as it doesn't collapse before winter, it's fine. But I still need to tell you the normal procedures."

Li Mosi nodded to his two disciples and continued speaking.

"When building rammed earth structures, the soil needs to be sifted first to ensure there are no impurities. It also needs to be roasted or baked to prevent plants from growing."

"The tools used for ramming earth were also different from those used today. One was a 'pudge' with a piece of wood the size of a fist at the front, and the other was a wooden hammer similar to a pickaxe."

"puff!"

The saintess suddenly leaned back, pulling her lips away from Li Mosi's hand.

"None of your tools match. Didn't you say you were going to build a warehouse?"

Li Moss asked the most crucial question.

Do we have a sieve?

The saintess was stunned.

Of course not.

It's impossible to do.

Ziyi and Zian shook their heads.

"no."

Li Moss then asked, "Do we have time to roast the soil? Will the food spoil in winter?"

The two disciples and the saintess all shook their heads.

There's only a little over a month left until winter.

As long as the food isn't eaten by insects or animals, it can be placed anywhere.

Seeing their appearance, Li Mosi came to a conclusion.

"So as long as the warehouse doesn't get infested with insects and is sturdy enough to withstand wind and snow in winter, that's fine. Don't always try to do things perfectly; conserving energy while achieving the goal is the best approach. The same applies to doing things."

He stopped there and didn't elaborate further.

Once the soil inside the frame was compacted, the safety officer came to report.

Zi Yi told the goblins to continue filling the hole with soil.

The compacted soil clods quickly filled almost the entire frame.

Li Moss taught them to use a single-person tamping tool to compact the edges and corners, then moved the template and continued tamping the soil in the next spot.

Then Li Moss, along with four goblin craftsmen, made scaffolding, more ramming tools, and more templates...

In just one morning, the earthen wall had been rammed up to a height of more than one meter.

Li Moss then taught the goblins how to build scaffolding and how to collect points.

By evening, Zian had installed a large wooden gate between the two earthen walls.

The simple rammed earth wall was then completed.
