The villain helps me build infrastructure

Chapter 31 Making Mud and Burning Bricks

Zheng Ming and the others have learned a lot today.

They felt that their eyes were not enough just to look at the houses in Yangcheng, and they kept chattering about the houses on the way back.

Zheng Ming was courageous, he stepped forward and asked Xie Ang, "Housekeeper Xie, don't mortals also want to build houses? Is the house they built similar to the one in Yangcheng?"

Xie Ang shook his head.

Zheng Ming was a little disappointed.

But Xie Ang said: "This newly built house was designed by the city lord, of course it is better than the house in Yangcheng."

Zheng Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, they had actually heard before that the city lord drew the design drawings of mortal people's houses, and the city lord would also get mud and bricks to repair the house, but what he heard is not what he heard, seeing is believing.

At first, I thought that no matter how much the house was repaired, it would not be as good as the yard they lived in, but now it seems that the house in Guangyang City is better than theirs. How good should the new house designed by the city lord be?

Zheng Ming felt itchy. He hadn't seen the blueprints yet. After all, the monks had only agreed to help transport the raw materials for building the house. Ordinary people were responsible for the house repair.

Xie Ang asked with a smile: "Do you want to see it?"

Zheng Ming nodded, smiled flatteringly and said, "Can I watch it?"

Xie Ang said: "I did bring a blueprint, but after the mud and bricks are made, maybe this blueprint will have to be changed, but I can show you first."

Zheng Ming took the blueprint, and other monks also rushed forward, huddled together to look at the blueprint drawn by the city lord.

This design drawing was drawn by Su Qiuyan according to the house layouts that he often saw in his previous life. The main room, bedroom, study room, toilet, kitchen, and windows are all clearly marked. A group of young people can't understand.

"What do you think?" Zheng Ming scratched his head, he couldn't even find the door.

In fact, Mozun hadn't studied it before, but he was very interested in everything about the city lord, so he came up and said, "Let me take a look."

He has a clever mind, but he can understand how this floor plan should look at a few glances.

He pointed directly at a semi-curved place and said, "This is the door, so the area after entering will be marked as the entrance."

A low cabinet and a stool were also drawn in the entrance area. Mozun thought for a while and said, "This cabinet must be for storing shoes. You can change shoes by sitting on the stool."

There are still nails on the wall opposite the low cabinet, Zheng Ming also draws inferences at this moment: "This can't be for hanging clothes?"

Mozun nodded, and he also felt that it should be, so it would be very convenient to get in and out.

They continued to look down, and after entering the house, there was a place marked as the main room and the dining room. There was no wall between these two areas, but a connection to the end. Next to them were two large windows, which almost occupied half of the wall. Just by looking at it, you know that the lighting must be very good.

The kitchen is next to the dining room, separated by a door, and there are windows besides the chimney after entering.

The bedroom is separated by a wall from the kitchen. The bedroom is very big, but instead of a bed, there is something called a kang. There is a pipe connecting the kang to the stove in the kitchen. It looks very strange.

Xie Ang also came out to explain at this time: "This heated kang, when the pipe is turned on in winter, once the fire is turned on, the heat will flow down the kang, and sitting on it will keep you warm all winter."

However, there must be more than one bedroom in a house, and the other bedrooms also have kangs. Zheng Ming and the others can't quite understand the principle of this, but the meaning is still clear, in short, it is warm.

In addition to the kang, they are also very interested in the vertical cabinet: "This cabinet is so tall, how many clothes can be folded."

Xie Ang smiled and said: "The city lord said, with this kind of wardrobe, clothes can be hung up, so it won't wrinkle easily, and it's also easy to find."

Zheng Ming couldn't help but praised: "Indeed, indeed, the city lord's mind is really ingenious!"

He was most annoyed by folding clothes and looking for clothes. If the clothes he wanted to wear were placed in the middle, he could turn the whole cabinet upside down.

Apart from the wardrobe and the kang, there are many other things that Zheng Ming finds novel.

For example, repairing the toilet directly in the house.

"Can this work? Will it be particularly smelly?"

Although the toilet is very convenient in the room, it is not easy to clean the toilet. I don't know if it will make the house full of bad smell.

Xie Ang said: "This is just the city lord's preliminary idea. You see, there is a pipe connected to the bottom of the latrine. This pipe can directly discharge the dirty things into the septic tank, but whether it can be realized or not will have to be repeated during the repair process. test."

Just like the kang, you have to try it slowly, and it will definitely not work overnight.

But this has already surprised Zheng Ming, he even started to imagine how happy he would be living in this house.

Although the yard they live in is a room for each person, it is actually a horizontally drawn space when you walk in, and you can see the bottom at a glance. Not to mention the small area, the window in the bedroom inside is also small, and it is always dark. There is no light.

If you live here, not only is life convenient, but you don't have to do anything in the same room.

It's a pity that the fly in the ointment is that if the whole family lives in, then he will have to look up and down with his father every day, which feels crowded even thinking about it.

Xie Ang heard his troubles and said with a smile: "This is just one of the house types, there are others."

Zheng Ming's eyes brightened, and he said pleasantly, "Are there other types of apartments?"

Xie Ang nodded and said: "The city lord has drawn several house plans. The one you are looking at now is called three bedrooms and two halls. It is three bedrooms plus a dining room. The size is 150 square meters. Square meters are a unit specially used by the city lord to calculate the size. .”

He gave an example: "150 square meters, about the size of a kindergarten garden."

The kindergarten is the largest house in the inner city, because it was used to receive the monks of Tianyuanzong. As early as a hundred years ago, when Qingzhou City was not so poor, Tianyuanzong would sometimes send more than ten monks over, so the house was very large, but It was abandoned later, so it is now used as a kindergarten. Ordinary monks can't afford such a big house.

Because monks hire mortals to repair houses, they also need to give food to mortals. The bigger the house, the more food they give. Therefore, although most monks live in courtyard houses, the garden area is only [-] square meters, and each room is about the same size. The size of the house is the same as this house.

Mozun was also very interested in looking at this floor plan.

In his previous life, he had been to many places, lived in many houses, and even had his own mansion, occupying an entire mountain, majestic and resplendent, but he was not happy.

But this small house, if you can live in it with the city lord...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help speeding up his pace. Before today was over, he had to try again, whether he could warm the bed of the city lord.

He was striding forward alone, and the others could only quickly follow.

After Mozun returned, he immediately went to Green Bamboo Garden, while Zheng Ming and others surrounded Xie Ang.

But they didn't want to fight in groups, but asked about the house.

They are all a group of young people. They are not too old, but they are not too young. Many people are actually reluctant to live with their parents because they are often scolded.

"I heard before that monks can also live in the outer city, can we live in that house too?" Zheng Ming asked expectantly.

Even if you can't live alone, it's still cool to live with friends.

Xie Ang didn't answer right away, but said: "I have to ask the city lord about this, but I think, if you are willing to help build a house together, then it should be possible."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: "Help build a house?"

They only promised to do some small favors within their ability, and the manual work of repairing the house was completely out of the scope of the promise.

However, if you can really live in a new house...

Xie Ang also said beside him at this time: "You are all monks, if you really want to help, you can also shorten the time for repairing the house, and the city owner said that after the house is repaired, you can live in it directly, the wardrobe you see, The low cabinets and heated kang will be repaired in advance, which is very convenient.”

At this time, someone asked again: "Then can we provide food to buy a house?"

It's like they gave food to mortals to build houses for them.

Xie Ang stroked his two-month-old beard: "You all think this house is good, so it must be time-consuming and labor-intensive to repair, just the mud and bricks, it is not easy to make, if you don't want to contribute effort, you are only willing to pay for food If not, I’m afraid I’ll be hungry this winter.”

In the past, it was possible to squeeze mortals and not give them too much food, but not now, the city lord was the first to allow it.

Want to exchange a house with more than ten days or even a few days of food?How can there be such a good thing.

Besides, there is no concept of currency in Qingzhou City now, and the food distributed is only enough to fill the stomach, and no one has any spirit stones, so they can only rely on labor to exchange for things, such as the new house this time.

Seeing the disappointment of these young monks, Xie Ang continued: "In short, it is definitely not enough to provide food, because everyone does not have so much food, so if you want a house, you have to work hard. What kind of house you can choose depends on It is determined by the contribution of labor."

This is also the embryonic form of the contribution point system proposed by Su Qiuyan, and this house repair can be regarded as an official trial.

When Zheng Ming and the others heard the words, their curiosity was aroused, and they asked what they meant.

Xie Ang said: "At that time, an official notice will be issued. Simply put, if you do more, you can choose a big house, and if you do less, you can only choose a small house."

Although they are all houses, they have different types of units, different sizes, and differences in location, lighting, etc., so who lives well and who lives poorly?It depends on how much effort and thought you have spent in the process of repairing the house.

If it's cheating and cheating, you can only choose a house that no one else wants to live in.

Zheng Ming licked his lips, thinking that distribution according to work is very interesting, he asked: "Then if I make a particularly big contribution, can I live in a flat by myself?"

He can turn the other bedroom into a study, isn't that flattering?

Xie Ang smiled and said, "It's not impossible."

Zheng Ming was immediately beaten up.

After returning home, the group of young people began to share what they had seen today.

Speaking of which, their parents haven't been to Yangcheng yet.

Zheng Ming's father rarely gave him a good face because his son had grown to know him.

But Zheng Ming couldn't understand, he said triumphantly: "Father, you haven't been to Yangcheng, have you? Let me tell you, Yangcheng is prosperous, and the houses are well repaired, very beautiful."

His father's face darkened a little, but he still didn't speak, just listening to him continue.

Zheng Ming chuckled twice: "Father, you don't know that the houses in Yangcheng are built well with mud and bricks. Ordinary people also use those things to build houses this time. I saw the design drawings drawn by the city lord, but It's beautiful, much better than our house."

His mother has already started to wink at him, but Zheng Ming is dreaming right now, and he can't see his mother's worry at all.

He also excitedly said: "I asked housekeeper Xie, if I also help to repair the house, I can also choose one to live in! Then I can move!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a bang, and his father kicked him to the ground.

When Zheng Ming got up clutching his butt, his father had already left with a cold snort.

This also strengthened Zheng Ming's determination to go out and live.

His father is so violent!

……

The mayor is so indifferent!

At the same moment, the Demon Lord who was locked outside the door also sighed.

Does he have to wait until the weather gets colder before he can be a warm baby for the city lord?

The next day, many monks heard about Yangcheng, and knew that the new houses that mortals were about to build were even better than the ones they lived in now.

A few young monks couldn't hide their words, and relying on their good memory, they imitated the house plans they had seen and drew a few new ones.

As soon as this picture spread, even the old stubborn monks felt a little envious.

The houses they live in are quite old, the walls are quite dirty, and there are water and air leaks from time to time. In short, there are many problems.

They are also happy if they can live in a new house.

But after hearing about the distribution method of the house, their hearts were a little bit drummed.

They have grown so big, but they have never done such heavy physical work.

The old people had concerns, but the young people didn't. Even Zhuang Cheng struggled to get out of bed, and wanted to sign up with Butler Xie with Zheng Ming and the others.

Isn't it just building a house?They fix it!

Who made them all want to live in a new house?

Xie Ang jotted down the names of all of them with a smile: "Don't worry, when the house starts to be repaired, I will definitely tell you."

The people in the two factories also knew the news, and they even knew it better than others, because they had just been notified that they would get contribution points for working in the brick factory and the mud factory.

And this contribution point is the key to choosing a house.

The monks who were originally called to help were also happy. In fact, they were arranged to come here. Although they didn't complain, they occasionally felt that there were a lot of things to do, but looking at it now, it was still beneficial.

After Lin Lu knew about it, he also secretly told Xu Huang the news, and asked him if he would like to repair the house.

Xu Huang smiled and said: "As long as the kindergarten is on holiday, I will definitely come to help repair the house, but I will also give out contribution points when working in the kindergarten."

Lin Lu was surprised and said, "There are also kindergartens?!"

Xu Huang whispered: "Director Meng said that this contribution point system will start a pilot soon. The pilot means to give it a try. After all, it is a new thing, and everyone does not know whether it will work well, so try it first."

Lin Lu asked curiously, "Then besides the kindergarten, what other contribution points should I give?"

Xu Huangdao: "I don't know, but those who have work in winter should have contribution points, such as Mr. Zheng who teaches us, and the gentleman on duty in the medical center. These should all get contribution points. "

Lin Lu concluded: "That is, those who work have contribution points."

"That's right." Xu Huangdao, "Although the contribution points are only used for choosing a house this time, there may be other things in the future? Anyway, try it first, and if there is something wrong, then change it."

Su Qiuyan said the same to Xie Ang.

In fact, the City Lord's Mansion has been thinking about contribution points for a long time, and this repair of the house is a good opportunity.

Su Qiuyan looked at Xie Ang and his group's tentatively drafted contribution evaluation rules, nodded and said: "This is a trial rule, first implement it for a period of time, and then change it if there are any problems, and make it clear to everyone when it is notified. This is a new thing. We are still exploring, and there are problems for sure, after this house pilot, we will continue to improve if there are any problems.”

Xie Ang nodded and said: "The city lord is wise, with this evaluation system of contribution points, everyone will definitely not be lazy in their work."

Although people in Qingzhou City are used to being oppressed and are generally not lazy, people are always lazy, and winter is very cold. Whether it is building a house or attending classes, it is not easy to persevere. With this incentive mechanism, So no matter what you do, you will definitely be more motivated.

Mozun also stepped forward to carefully read the evaluation rules for the contribution points.

The rules list how all positions in Qingzhou City can get contribution points this winter, covering all staff in kindergartens, two factories, literacy classes, qi refining classes, and street offices.

For example, in a kindergarten, the principal has the most work and the greatest responsibility, so he can get two contribution points every day he works, while other managers generally get one. amount to give contribution points.

As for the teachers in the literacy class, they contribute more than the teachers in the kindergarten, because the audience in the kindergarten is not large, and the teaching tasks are not heavy, but the work in the literacy class is not easy. There are at least fifty or sixty people in each class , It takes a lot of effort to teach.

However, looking at this rule, the people who can get the most contribution points are the people from the two factories and the construction team.

The reason is quite simple, they do physical work, and the time is very long, so the contribution point is also the highest.

Mozun read it again and felt that although this rule is said to be a trial implementation, it is well-founded. Even for the same position, different contribution points will be differentiated due to different working hours. Yes, rather than just slapping my head and writing randomly.

This is quite similar to the task point system of the major sects, and it is very suitable for the current Qingzhou City.

The next day, Xie Ang called all the street office directors in the inner and outer cities to the city lord's mansion for a meeting, and conveyed the spirit of the new rules to them.

In fact, several directors had heard the wind before, so they were not surprised at the moment.

Looking at the rules, they felt that the people of the City Lord's Mansion must have put a lot of thought into it, otherwise they wouldn't be able to write such a thorough thing.

As the representative of the monks, the fifth from the left has no objection to this rule, but he is very curious: "Thank you, butler, is this rule a temporary trial for house selection?"

Xie Ang nodded and said: "That's right, we will first count the people who are willing to repair the house this time, and repair it according to the counted number. After the repair is completed, if everyone wants to choose the size, the type of the house, and the orientation, all of these will have to be contributed Come talk."

He emphasized: "However, the contribution points are used to choose a house in the end. If you want to be eligible to choose a house, you still have to join the construction team or two factories. After all, everyone knows that repairing a house is not an easy task. Busy from morning to night, it is similar to going to the mine, if there are too many people who want new houses, it is necessary to expand the scale of the construction team and the two factories."

In fact, these words are aimed at the monks. Ordinary people are the construction team with all members. If the monks also want to live in the new house, they have to join together.

The fifth from the left is actually very interested in the new house. He has a bad temper and gets along awkwardly with his son and daughter-in-law. Wouldn't it be a good thing if he could live in a house for the elderly alone, so he heard the words: "Then Okay, I'll go back and hold a meeting with the people on the street later."

Xie Ang said: "Then let me tell you about the idea of ​​making this rule, how the contribution points of each position are set, why some are more and some are less, please listen carefully, and explain the work with others when you go back, After all, this is a good thing, so the city lord hopes that everyone can understand and support it.”

Several directors quickly agreed.

This is indeed a good thing. With this contribution point, not only will it save trouble when choosing a house in the future, but everyone will also have a head start. If you want to live in a big house, then work hard. As long as you do more work, you will be able to choose a house. favorite house.

So after knowing this trial rule, there are really no one who opposes it.

Distribution according to work, no one said anything.

After Liu Cai heard the news, she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep all night.

She was the backbone of the labor force when she was in the mining area, and she believes that she can also be the backbone of the labor force in the construction team.

Not only the construction team, but she also plans to visit two factories tomorrow. If there is anything she can do, she is willing to do it.

She has already made up her mind, she wants the house with three bedrooms and two halls, she and Xiaoshitou each have a bedroom, and the other spare room will be used as a study for Xiaoshitou, so that Xiaoshitou can have a separate room for studying and practicing in the future. place.

As for the orientation, she likes to face south, where the sun is bright and the house looks bright.

And the wardrobe is really beautiful, but she doesn't have many clothes, and she can't hang them all now, but after two or three years, it will definitely be full. When I open the wardrobe, there will be a cabinet full of beautiful clothes. I want to be happy.

Except for Liu Cai, many other people were not asleep and were thinking about the house.

Some people want a small one, just one bedroom, and some want a big one, hoping to have five bedrooms. In short, everyone is tossing and turning on the bed, but they are not restless and restless. Instead, they become more excited and more excited .

The only exception may be the demon king.

He even told Qin Yue two days ago that he would try his best to climb onto the bed of the city lord before returning his body.

It's a pity that the city lord completely ignored him.

But Qin Yue is not in the mood to laugh at the devil now. After all, the devil is so shameless that he can't warm the bed of the city lord, so what about him?

Is it more difficult for him?

It's a pity that no one in the city understood their distress. The next day everyone rushed to the two factories excitedly.

Lin Lu was taken aback when he arrived. The City Lord's Mansion had only brought more than 20 people to help him before, but who knew that so many people would come today.

He can't even count!

It was Wan Jie who asked everyone to line up to register, and then began to arrange everyone's work according to their current needs.

Lin Lu swallowed. He originally thought that it would take half a month to make the first batch of mud and bricks, but now it seems that five or six days may be enough, because the helpers are really Too much!

He even saw Teacher Zheng Mingzheng inside!

Lin Lu felt that he was in a cold sweat in the winter.

If this thing can't be done, will he be beaten to death by the excited crowd?

Fortunately, the quality of the ancestral craftsmanship is still guaranteed. Soon, the brick kiln was built and the materials were found.

Lin Lu is the only technical instructor in the two factories, and he is currently teaching everyone how to make brick embryos.

First, you have to sift out the stone debris in the mud, and then put the mud into the prepared molds. These molds are almost the same size and shape. After the mud is put in, it will be dried out when it is exposed to the sun. After the brick embryos are made, they are piled up one by one and fired in a brick kiln, and the bricks are ready.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. It took a lot of time to make the brick embryos. When everyone put these finally qualified brick embryos into the brick kiln, everyone was relieved.

After Lin Lu checked the seal of the brick kiln, he said to Wan Jie, "Master Wan, please light the fire."

Brick kilns are supposed to burn ordinary fires, but it takes a long time to burn bricks with ordinary fires, and the smoke emitted will cause a lot of pollution, so the monks are responsible for lighting the fires.

Wan Jie has fire roots, so he naturally does his part.

After the spiritual fire in his palm rushed into the fire, smoke came out of the chimney after a while.

Lin Lu always saw the smoke from burning bricks in the past, so he was very familiar with it, but the smoke from this spiritual fire is quite different from ordinary fire. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all, just like a green smoke, instantly It just disappeared in mid-air, leaving not even the slightest smell.

He murmured: "The bricks fired by this spirit fire are probably several times better than those fired by ordinary fire."

Just looking at the smoke, he felt confident.

Several monks took turns lighting the fire, and in less than half a day, the bricks in the kiln were formed.

Lin Lu used to burn bricks and it would take five or six days. He was naturally surprised and delighted that the time was shortened this time.

But Wan Jie and the others were also quite tired. The spiritual fire consumed spiritual power, which was more tiring than them going out hunting.

Of course, the results were remarkable. After the temperature of the brick kiln dropped, the kiln could be opened. All the bricks in the kiln were piled up neatly, and none of them was wasted.

A few people wore gloves, endured the heat, and quickly took out the bricks.

After seeing the appearance of Brick clearly, everyone was even happier.

These bricks are regular, hard and strong. If you really use them to build a house, there must be 1 houses that will be built without any problem.

Wan Jie was also very happy, so he directly packed a few bricks and prepared to take them back to show the city lord.

Although burning bricks is not uncommon in Xianlu, it is true in Qingzhou.

After the bricks came out, all that was left was the mud.

The people in the mud factory worked hard and finally produced the first batch of mud on the second day.

A group of people surrounded the mud and bricks, watching Lin Lu with a shovel to paste the mud on the bricks with anticipation and apprehension.

But in a short while, he built a miniature version of the wall, only as tall as a three-year-old child, just wide enough to be an adult's arm.

"By this time tomorrow, the mud should be dry, and then everyone can come and see how the wall looks."

Of course, Lin Lu is full of confidence, because with the help of the monks, the quality of the bricks and mud has greatly exceeded his expectations, much better than those made in Yangcheng, and the house built by this must be stronger reliable.

Others were also looking forward to it, so before dawn the next day, some people had already arrived, just wanting to see how the wall made of mud and bricks was.

When Lin Lu arrived, everyone was already excitedly discussing loudly.

"No wonder the city lord asked us to wait."

"That's right, look at this wall, is it exactly the same as the city wall, no, it is stronger than the city wall!"

In Qingzhou City, only the city wall and the city lord's mansion are built with bricks, so they are extraordinarily magnificent and sturdy. However, the citizens of Qingzhou City do not have the technology of Tianyuanzong, so they can only live in yellow mud houses, so at first glance Everyone was so excited that they couldn't speak for the wall that was built in front of them.

Lin Lu was also completely relieved. With this wall, the mud and bricks that were made, he could finally stay in Qingzhou City justifiably.
