I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 233, The Farming Plan Officially Begins

Su Bai lightly moistened his lips with his tongue and explained, “This forest can serve as the Tribe’s defence. Having our main gate facing the riverside is also safer.”

He thought that if the main gate faced the forest, many factors would need to be considered, such as attacks from other Tribes, harassment from Ferocious Beasts, and so on.

The advantages of having the main gate facing the great river were numerous. In the future, they could build a port, and using the river for trade could help the Tribe develop better.

In ancient Earth, many royal capitals or prosperous cities were located along rivers or coasts. This was because these water bodies allowed for rapid development, and brought in many benefits to the Tribe. This was what Su Bai was considering.

Moreover, having the back of the Tribe face the forest was also beneficial. If they raised wild animals in the future, they could keep them in the back.

They could also build a fertiliser processing plant and other facilities. These were all things to be done in the future, so having the main gate face the river was the optimal choice.

Yan Hua naturally did not understand much about these matters, and just nodded somewhat comprehendingly, “What the Shaman says should be correct.”

Su Bai quietly looked at the naive cow horned girl, recalling the scene when he first met her. Back then, she had been quite spirited and valiant.

Of course, he was referring to her personality, as this was the first time he had encountered someone with such an open and straightforward yet adorably sincere character.

Back on Earth, most of the people he met were rather materialistic. If one did not have a house or a car, they would not even consider that person as important.

Certainly, there must have been pure and kind-hearted women too, but how could he possibly have encountered them?

The girl standing before him now was just such an adorably sincere existence. The key point was that she even had a pair of horns, which really added to her charm.

Yan Hua touched her face, then looked at her body, asking in confusion, “Shaman, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s nothing, I just thought of some things.” Su Bai smiled, putting his hands behind his back as he began walking back to the Tribe.

“Shaman, wait for me!” Yan Hua reacted and hurriedly caught up.

After returning to the Tribe, Su Bai went back to his wooden house and began planning the Tribe’s future development.

From today onwards, his grand farming plan was officially underway. What he had done before was just a small trial.

Yan Hua did not follow him back to the wooden house. Instead, she went to see if there was anything she could help with in the Tribe.

She was also curious about how her friends, who had been captured during the Black Snake Tribe’s attack, were doing.

“Next, we need to plan the construction of houses…” Su Bai muttered, chewing on the tip of the pen.

The reason he toured the Tribe today was because of this matter. Building cement houses was no simple task. So, it was essential to plan everything out carefully. Otherwise, the houses built might end up scattered here and there, in a complete mess.

If they developed well in the future and needed to pave roads, how would they do so if the houses were placed haphazardly?

Thinking of this, Su Bai picked up the pencil and began planning on the Wolf Tail Grass Paper, his mind already forming ideas.

*Rustle rustle rustle…* The pencil made continuous rustling sounds as it touched the Wolf Tail Grass Paper. This was particularly noticeable in the quiet wooden house.

After more than half an hour, Su Bai managed to complete a rough plan. Although not very professional, it was at least clear to look at.

The blueprint showed a square, with tall walls drawn around the perimeter of the square.

Inside the walls were grid-like areas, and within these areas were houses, with main roads and side roads all drawn out.

Not only that, but patterns were also drawn outside the square. Near the great river, many grids were drawn, which would be arranged into farmland later.

A port was also drawn by the riverside, with some boats floating on the river. Near the forest, several small sheds were drawn, which would be the place for raising animals.

The overall impression was clear and comprehensible, with everything labelled as to what should be where and what each area was for.

Of course, only he could understand such a modern blueprint. Since these were plans for his own reference, the actual blueprints used for implementation would be done up at a later time, redrawn from scratch.

“This should be clear enough now. We shouldn’t be at a loss when we start working on it.” Su Bai said with satisfaction. This was a blueprint he had long wanted to draw.

If it had not been for the limitations in the previous place, where he could not directly implement the farming plan, he would have started drawing this out much earlier.

He also felt it was a pity that although there had been plenty of time to develop these things in the previous place, due to insufficient manpower and poor geographical location, this plan had been shelved for a long time.

Su Bai spread the draft, looked at it carefully, and muttered to himself. “Now it’s time to draw the structural diagram of the houses.”

He was a bit impressed with himself, feeling like he had become a civil engineer, even having to draw house design blueprints himself.

However, he was also grateful that back on Earth, he had enjoyed reading all sorts of books, trying to learn about various industries.

For example, he had roughly looked into topics like food, civil engineering, chemistry, and some geographical knowledge, as well as some intriguing short videos like wilderness survival and such. As a result, after transmigrating here, he was still able to apply this knowledge. Otherwise, he would have truly been at a loss.

*Rustle rustle rustle…* Su Bai picked up the pencil and continued drawing. In his mind, he was designing a two-story house.

Such a house would not be particularly difficult to build. After all, it was all square and regular. As long as they learned how to lay bricks, they could construct it.

“But how large should the area of this house be?” Su Bai muttered, pursing his lips.

The biggest problem now was the lack of measuring tools, so it was difficult for them to determine how to standardise the size of the houses.

He did not want the houses built to end up of varying sizes, looking crooked and askew, with some parts big and others small.

To build houses, they needed to be constructed to be almost the same, looking neat and orderly. Only then could it be considered a proper city.

“Looks like we need to make measuring tools first. It’s quite troublesome without measuring tools…” Su Bai mumbled.

He put away the house blueprint and took out another blank sheet of Wolf Tail Grass Paper, beginning to sketch measuring tools on it.

*Rustle rustle rustle…* The pencil began to dance quickly on the Wolf Tail Grass Paper again. In no time, diagrams appeared on the paper.
