Take the mall to Datang

Then Yuan Shan became interested. He was still very sad about his future residence, and made up his mind that he must live in an ultra-luxury courtyard house worth hundreds of millions, and he must fulfill his dream of being a local tyrant.

Back to the old house of the Yuan family, there is not even a place to stay, and those craftsmen are already preparing to build a temporary small wooden shed next to it, and Yuan Shan didn't stop it, because he wanted to turn the area of ​​the old house into a commercial area. Let's call it a market for now, this has become one of his plans.

The land where the house is built is two miles away on the uphill, and the old house below can be seen from the top. Yuan Shan is very satisfied with this land, and Zhou Zhou has shown the design drawings of the house to the craftsmen. According to Yuan Shan It means to build a quarter part first.

Now that there is such a large piece of land, Yuanshan’s plan has changed, and the place to be built first has been changed from one quarter to one ninth. The row houses on the right side of the inner courtyard will be built first, and the south house will be built in the second row. , and then the main room and the east and west wing rooms of the inner courtyard are in the third sequence.

"Master Hou, we have seen all the blueprints. We need a lot of materials. It is estimated that it will take at least a month to complete." The construction team leader sent by the craftsmen stepped forward and said to Yuan Shan.

"Come here to show you something, maybe this construction speed may be faster." Yuan Shan arrested 35 carpenters to the vegetable garden of the Yuan family's old house, lifted the coarse cloth shining on the back wall, and immediately appeared Ten sets of carpenter sets, saws, hammers, axes, planes and other tools appeared directly in front of the craftsmen.

"Master Hou, are these exquisite tools for us to use?" The lead craftsman asked in amazement. He really couldn't figure out why Yuanshan had such things. Compared with the quality of the tools they used, they were really easy to see at a glance. difference.

"These tools are enough for your use during the period of building the house for the Yuan family. They must be confiscated uniformly every night and must not be lost at will," Yuan Shan said seriously.

No rules, no rules, Yuan Shan understands this, now what tests him is team strength and leadership, so at this time he can't behave well.

"If you have the tools at your fingertips, let's make a hundred shovels and sticks on the shovels first." After Yuan Shan explained, the craftsmen started to work.

With more convenient tools, many people are faster. The shovel handles are all made of hardwood. With a high-quality plane, it is much easier to make. Before noon, more than 100 shovel handles were done. , This is more or less related to the number of craftsmen, coupled with the application of Yuanshan's division system, the division of labor and cooperation from coarse to fine, which also made the craftsmen realize the benefits of this kind of work.

In fact, these tasks are not really started today. This is still quite complicated. It also needs to choose a place to build a house combined with the art of feng shui. Usually, a family with a little money will find a Taoist priest to help with calculations before making a decision.

Yuan Shan also felt that Feng Shui still needs to be paid attention to, it has nothing to do with superstition, those places that have been calculated can at least guarantee that they will suffer less disasters, and of course he paid some money for this, which is insignificant to him.

It's just that Yuanshan forgot to make a budget. Although he still has dozens of taels of gold in his hand, it is obviously not enough in terms of the scale of his construction, and the difference is too much, but he is not in a hurry.

Yuan Shan has been busy since noon, busy visiting his own mountain, for which he took a horse-drawn carriage specially, and went back and forth in three circles and five small circles around, almost confused by the old way, and finally chose the location. He decided that in front of the hill, there is a mountain spring nearby, and not far from the right is the small river, which can be used to divert water easily. He has already made up his mind to build a high-end bathing place by the river.

The craftsmen also began to prepare for tomorrow's start of work this afternoon, but to the surprise of these craftsmen, Yuan Shan set up five large pots and started steaming rice the next morning.

Luban rice, it can be said that this is an exclusive dinner for craftsmen. It is usually made when there are important ceremonies such as accepting apprentices. Moreover, Luban is not only the originator of carpenters, but also the founder of troupes. At this time There will be a puppet show for fun.

Yuan Shan didn't prepare a puppet show, he had the conditions, but these carpenters can't care about it now, but the rice is real, and the farmers who help the workers seem to pay more attention to the food in the pot.

"Now I announce that the construction of Yuanjia's new house is just started. Next, I will talk about the requirements. During the period of helping Yuanjia, you must obey the deployment, especially cooperate with the arrangements of the master craftsmen, and ensure mutual respect and friendship. Don't talk too much. He said that as long as everyone works hard, it will be fine, and the meal is ready now, don’t be crowded, line up for a meal, and I will rest assured that I will give you less.”

Yuan Shan quickly finished speaking, and immediately began to eat. For the first meal, he specially bought two pigs. The pork heads were made with sauce packets exchanged in the mall, and the rest of the meat was very simple. What kind of Northeast pig-killing dish, but directly made dozens of bags of butter hot pot seasoning and dozens of catties of vermicelli, and stewed it in one pot. Naturally, there was no waste in the water. Cut it into sections and made a stewed pot with a stronger taste, but this is the meal for the night.

In the morning, rice is served with pork vermicelli. Each of the two pigs gets a large piece of pork. It is considered a meat for them. Only when they are full can they work. Pigs are very fishy, ​​but one is old sow pork, which is still edible.

You are a kid from Gao Wang's family, eat slowly, your saliva will flow out.

There are only 300 households in the whole village, and there are more than 200 people in total, some of them are soldiers in the government, and the remaining population is less than 170. There are only [-] households who are helpers, and most of the rest are children. It is not easy for Yuan Shan to see the village households, so he simply counts as one child, and the older ones are responsible for boiling water, delivering water, and delivering soup and bowls when eating, not to mention more than half of them are actually used.

I don't know if it counts as using child labor, these children also take care of two meals a day, and now the whole Zhuangzi is grateful to Yuanshan, saying that the little lord is benevolent and righteous everywhere he goes.

The craftsmen, on the other hand, were all given enough meat, and it was clear from this glance that Yuan Shan attached great importance to them, and the treatment was completely different. After all, they were craftsmen, at least they would get enough respect from Yuan Shan here.

The farmers looked much better overall after eating, and such a meal might not be as good even in the Chinese New Year.

Tang Gaozu built this road for years of fighting, and the living conditions in the eight years of Wude were not as rich as those under the rule of Zhenguan. The cheapest rice has been three or four Wen since then.

It is not enough to eat and drink enough to have such a meal every meal, and the farmers are full of energy.

Chapter 12 Founder Chair

Zhou Zhou spent the whole morning counting supplies. Yesterday, Yanbei bought ten carts of ceramic products and a new one thousand shi of grain.

Right now, the gold in Yuanshan's hands is rapidly being consumed, and this is just the beginning, and after a month, there may not be more than ten taels of gold left.

It was embarrassing for Yuanshan to find out that he didn't have enough money after being addicted to a local tyrant, but he didn't care at all.

Everyone is busy, a hundred shovels are much more useful than shovels in this era, digging holes and filling soil is very fast, Yuanshan has high requirements for building a house, and he uses stones to lay the foundation, because it needs to be transported, the project is generally not fast.

Yuan Shan sat in the temporary shed and began to make overall plans. At this time, Yuan Shan's role was finally manifested, so he called in craftsmen and blacksmiths to start making cross-age equipment.

"The object on this drawing is called a ball bearing. Putting small iron balls into such accessories will reduce friction when rolling, that is, reduce obstruction. First make some of these bearings, and then you can make a few cars. The two-wheeled truck can increase the transport capacity with the same manpower, this was developed by my Lord Hou through countless sleepless days and nights, so don't spread it to the outside world." Yuan Shan instructed.

Having said that, in ancient times when there was no patent right, unless it was an object that could not be imitated, it would be very difficult to keep the patent right. It won't be spread, because you can't be sure whether people will give in when they are threatened.

The blacksmith called Rwanda is an old craftsman, and he agreed after seeing the drawings. The small iron beads should be as small as possible, but no matter what they are made, they must be the same size. This is a dead requirement. As for what the finished product will be, Then we have to wait for the result.

The reason why Yuanshan chose to make rolling bearings first is not only to make trucks, but also can be used as pulleys, and can be made into simple tower cranes, which is much less labor-intensive than those used by craftsmen today, and has a wide range of applications.

Yang Wu, the captain of the craftsman team, ran over with each of the four sides in his arms: "Master Hou, the high stool is ready."

"Okay, bring it here quickly. Sitting on the straw mat is almost killing me." Yuan Shan stood up immediately, and seeing the long-lost stool was like seeing a relative.

This stool is a high stool with four corners, with a square shape and a square backrest handle, which looks simple and grand.

It is also the first time for Yang Wu to make such a stool. It is quite different from the Hu stool they are familiar with, mainly because of the height, but it is similar to the big arhat bed. Anyway, this kind of stool is very comfortable to sit on.

"Master Hou can come up with such a useful thing, I really admire it." Yang Wu started to say good things, and almost found out the patriarch Lu Ban to give him a thumbs up.

"Mr. Ben Hou is really talented. It is not worth mentioning to make some small improvements. Now I will allocate some people to start making such high stools, as well as the high tables and long benches I drew. I need to do more, and strive to be able to eat before dinner. Use it." Yuan Shan said.

Yang Wu was assigned to make tables, chairs and benches, while the rest of the craftsmen continued to study the details of building the house in the grass shed. At this time, he and many craftsmen were organizing the householders to prepare materials and dig soil.

He was comfortable sitting on the high stool, but it was a little unnatural to be watched by a group of people in front of him, and it seemed that it was not in line with etiquette, but no one said anything, in short, it was as discordant as possible.

"You guys should go and help Yang Wu make tables, chairs and benches first, and make a large and long conference table first, and then we will continue the meeting, uh, to discuss." Yuan Shan said immediately.

"I brought you jujube soup for my wife, please drink it." Dugu Ruolan came over.

"Ruolan, is this cooked according to your husband's method?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Yes, I made good red dates and added longan to boil water. This jujube soup is rich and delicious, and it's easy to drink." Dugu Ruo said shyly, because she drank two big bowls, and now she still feels stomach ache. She was swollen, afraid that Yuan Shan would make fun of her for being greedy, so she acted so shy.

"Well, this jujube is a good thing. It can not only invigorate the spleen, nourish the stomach, nourish qi and blood, but also calm the nerves. The jujube soup can also treat stomach cold, and the jujube longan soup can also nourish blood and qi. , but don't drink too much, just a few dates a day." Yuan Shan hadn't had a drink yet, when he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

"Hahaha, Shanzhi is really proficient in medicine. I will taste this bowl of jujube and longan soup for you, Uncle Qin."

As soon as Yuan Shan lowered his head, he realized that the bowl in his hand had been snatched away without even feeling it, and heard Qin Qiong gulp and gulp down all the soup, sweating, thinking that Cheng Yaojin usually doesn't like this kind of thing What do you do?

Why do you say usually!

Yuan Shan didn't expect that Qin Qiong, who has always been calm, would also do some cheeky things in front of the juniors, which suddenly overturned his impression of Qin Shubao who is both brave and capable.

"It turned out to be Uncle Qin. I thought Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway." Yuan Shan said casually.

"Hahaha, Shanzhi's words are interesting. When Lao Cheng comes back, I will tell him that Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway. It's interesting. It's really interesting. Let's see how he reacts." Qin Qiong laughed loudly.

"Oh my god! Uncle Qin, you are my uncle. If you let General Cheng know that I am arranging him behind his back, maybe he will ask me to practice for the rest of his life. Will I be able to beat General Cheng? Isn't that right?" Are you kidding me?" Yuan Shan just thought in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"It's all a joke, Uncle Qin, don't worry about it." Yuan Shan hurried forward and said.

"Don't worry, Yao Jin is also a very interesting person, and I will introduce you to him when the time comes." Qin Qiong said calmly with a smile.
