Take the mall to Datang

"So that's the case, but it doesn't matter, Hou Ye's people can do the cement work at the bottom of the pool, and other things can be handed over to other craftsmen to complete, how about that." Xiao Yun said.

"In this case, it's okay, but the cement production needs at least one month of construction time, won't it delay the construction period?" Yuan Shan asked.

"No, if it is possible, then this matter will be settled like this. This is 30 taels of gold. The materials needed for the deposit will be prepared by Lord Hou first, and the accounts will be settled after completion. Lord Hou thinks this is good." Xiao Yun said.

"That should be the case. The Marquis Ben will take over this project, so I will send someone to go back with shopkeeper Xiao to see the site and evaluate the project quantity. The engineering team will go to Qin Wang's mansion tomorrow." Yuan Shan said.

"Don't worry about this, Lord Hou can send someone to look at it, and prepare the materials first, because there are still some things to be dealt with, so I can send people to build this pool after a week." Xiao Yun said.

"Well, the customer is God, and everything will be done as required." Yuan Shan immediately agreed.

"God, who is it?" Xiao Yun asked suspiciously.

"..." Yuan Shan didn't expect to find an excuse to fool him with a casual sentence.

Chapter 146 No Brakes

After accepting the pool construction project of Prince Qin’s Mansion, the person who came back said the approximate project volume. This Prince Qin’s Mansion is indeed the Prince’s Mansion. This garden pool needs thousands of stones of cement, and the quality of the project must be guaranteed if the money is not bad.

A week later, when April was approaching, the engineering team hadn't set off yet, so Xiao Yun sent someone to inform that the construction period would be postponed by one month.

Yuan Shan took other people's money, so the customer said what he said, and the other customer was not in a hurry, so he was in a hurry.

Just during this period, trees need to be transplanted by hand.

At the beginning of April, Yan Bei came back with his convoy.

During the time I went to Chengdu, one thing was to collect black-bone chickens, and the other was to search for antimony mines near the Xikuang Mountain where they went last time. This time they used the method of directly producing locally, otherwise they would not It takes a month to go.

"Master, we are back. We have bought thousands of black-bone chickens this time. In addition, according to the young master's wishes, we have also found a family who are good at raising black-bone chickens." Yan Bei said carelessly. It can be seen from the journey that these people are busy with travel and dust. It's not easy.

Then he brought that family over. This family of four, a middle-aged couple with a teenage daughter and a two or three-year-old boy in their arms, looked like honest people.

As soon as they met, they bowed their knees, nodded and bowed to him very respectfully, and seemed a little afraid. Yuan Shan didn't like this feeling very much.

Yan Bei knew Yuan Shan's habits, but he told the couple all the way that his young master was very kind, and explained some situations, but he didn't expect that the couple still failed to follow what he said.

"Master, this couple was found from above. There are not many people in their village, and they rarely communicate with outsiders, so they are not used to it yet..." Yan Bei explained.

After listening to Yan Bei's words, Yuan Shan could somewhat understand, so he said kindly, "What's the name of this elder brother?"

"My name is Luo Wang." The accent was a bit vague.

Yan Bei on the side translated again, and Yuan Shan finally understood.

"From now on, your family will live here in Wulizhuang. Your usual job is to help raise chickens, and your salary will be paid on time every month. As long as you work hard, your life will be better." Yuan Shan said.

The living conditions of this family are very poor as can be seen from the clothes they wear, the straw sandals are all torn, and the clothes are patchwork, which is very obvious when compared with Yan Bei and the others.

For the time being, the Yanbei family asked Liu Lizheng to help them resettle in the Zhuangzi first, and they distributed a new set of clothes, and then brought them an extra foot of coarse cloth, so as not to shorten the children's clothes, and prepared some food for them.

Luo Xiang stopped Yuan Shan's words and couldn't express it in words at all. He knelt down for Yuan Shan with a plop, and immediately licked his head several times.

Yuan Shan was almost taken aback by this, and immediately jumped up and asked what was going on.

This Luo Wang said a lot in one breath, Yuan Shan couldn't understand a word, and the local accent quickly connected, even Yan Bei was a little confused.

"Master, he probably meant that he was very grateful and would do things for the young master, that's probably all." Yan Bei also said vaguely beside Yuan Shan, and he might not be sure if the specific translation was accurate or not.

Helped the couple to get up, and then settled them first. The next thing went very smoothly, and the rest was taken over by Tian Da. Later, I realized that the couple was good at raising chickens, and they devoted themselves to work the next day. My job is to manage the black-bone chickens.

They usually raise them free-range, but now the chickens are fed with grains. With these, it will be easier for them to raise these chickens.

The Luo family couple, who had changed into new clothes, were still a little muffled, but they were in a good state of mind. They worked a lot this day, and they also helped Tian Da plant the vegetable garden and feed the pigs in their free time.

In mid-April, the cement road was officially put into use. Looking at the cement road as a flat piece, Yuan Shan was in a good mood. As soon as the cement road was started, all the people from the workshop came, and they brought new The wooden bicycles produced include the first [-] sets of wooden two-wheeled bicycles, and ten all-wooden bicycles improved by Li Dejian and Li Dejian, but the wheels are wider than those with iron chains, and the wheels The outside is wrapped with three thick cowhide.

Not much cowhide is basically used on bicycles. After testing, these wheels can still play a certain role in shock absorption, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. The wheels are very round and stable. During the test, they adapted well on the cement road. sex.

There are also several pure iron three-wheeled bicycles, including Yuanshan's special iron two-wheeled bicycles.

"Come and let Master Ben try this road, everyone follow me and set off." Yuan Shan gave the order to set off.

Then I saw more than 30 different two-wheeled and three-wheeled bicycles turning quickly on the concrete road, and a group of people followed behind. The first one was the construction team. Everyone was excited about the concrete road they made.

At the end are the farmers, all very excited. This is the first time they have seen this road. This road is better built than Chang'an.

"Damn, sir, I forgot that the two-wheeler didn't have brakes..." Yuan Shan stared very quickly, but when he got up to speed, he realized that his car was not a tricycle and didn't have brakes, so the tragedy was that the [-]-wheeler behind him Except for the tricycle, the few cars have no brakes, and this road is not a dirt road. There is a slight slope below the cement road to connect to the main road outside the village...

"Slow down, slow down..." Yuan Shan shouted.

The people behind seemed to have noticed this problem too, but they were not as good at driving as Yuan Shan, and almost fell down a few times.

"Hold on, hold on, it's okay..." Yuan Shan continued in front.

When going from the road to the main road, Yuanshan felt a bumpy bump on the spacious dirt road, and finally controlled the bicycle and stopped after rushing a certain distance.

Looking back at the people behind him, it was worse than him, and some of them fell directly, all caused by the bumps on the dirt road, Yuan Shan suddenly wanted to laugh, so he sang from a long distance alone: ​​"The chrysanthemums are all over the ground hurting your smile Has turned yellow..."

After testing, it is clear that the speed of a bicycle is much faster than that of a carriage, and the speed of riding alone will be faster, but the same horseshoe still has some damage to the concrete road, even if it is not there, it will appear after a long period of trampling condition, but it's pretty good compared to dirt roads.

It didn't take long before the news of an extra cement road in Wulizhuang, Lantian County spread throughout Lantian County, especially after Guo Shouyi brought people over for "investigation", and found that road construction with cement was more stable than paving with stone bricks, and the construction The faster construction period means that the cost of raw materials is slightly higher, but that is not a problem.

So County Magistrate Guo applied for road repairs with the imperial court, and adopted a new type of cement road. Unfortunately, this matter was never approved after the book was written.

Chapter 147

As May approaches, the dirt road in Wulizhuang is under construction, and the newly laid cement bricks are laid out neatly one by one. It is expected to be completed in another week.

After the cement road was repaired, Yuan Shan's work focused on the construction of the manor, and the foundations for the staff dormitory began to be laid in the area of ​​Yuan's old house.

The Tongzi Building designed by Yuan Shan is divided into three floors. The first floor is a bit larger, each room is [-] square meters, the second and third floors are single rooms, each room is [-] square meters, and four to six sheets can be placed. Make beds.

Each floor of the bathroom is divided into two rooms on the left and right, men on the left and women on the right. The kitchen is independent, and the cooking system is paid for. In addition, the heating system is used in winter, at least it is designed in this way, and the washrooms are independent. There is one on each floor, and the top of the third floor is used to dry clothes and is also an entertainment area for employees. There is also an attic pavilion on the top, surrounded by cement walls.

Just as Yuanshan was perfecting the construction drawings of the internal structure of the staff dormitory in the study, Caiyi came in.

"Young master, Xiao Yun sent someone to let the construction team come over tomorrow, this time it is confirmed." Caiyi said.

"Then you go and tell Ma Zhou to take someone there," Yuan Shan said.

Half a month ago, Ma Zhou was transferred to the manor to be in charge of the construction team. A scholar who can read and write is the most suitable candidate at present.

Yuan Shan was very satisfied with Ma Zhou.

At this time, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Gao Shilian and others were riding on the Wulizhuang Cement Road.

"This is the cement road, and it is as flat as Shubao said." Changsun Wuji said.
