I pretend to be a fairy in ancient times

Obviously, Zhao Ji only came to the workshop in the western suburbs two days ago, but when he looked at it again today, he found a surprising and huge change.

When I came last time, there was only a two-mile-long concrete road, but now it has covered the entire workshop inside and out.

Not only that, the people in the workshop also made full use of the effect of cement and built a reinforced concrete wall outside the workshop.Because the cement has not been fully finalized, the wooden boards that play a supporting role on the outside of the wall have not been removed.

It seems that the Double Ninth Festival Workshop not only has no holiday, but is also working overtime on construction.

Zhao Ji had already told the workshop how to use cement, concrete is what is used to build cement roads.But according to Zhao Ji's cognition, when building three-dimensional buildings with cement, the first method people use should be to use cement to lay bricks, and then gradually switch to reinforced concrete.

When he went to the countryside before, he saw houses built with red bricks and cement in the early days.

Regarding Zhao Ji's question, he quickly got an answer from Manager Zhang, "We've done it before we built the fence, and the cost of using bricks is too high. After repairing such a large fence, it's just the price of buying bricks and shipping. It is more than 1000 taels of silver. But with the steel bars and cement produced by our workshop, plus the money for materials, the money for the workers to wash the river sand and gravel, and the money for the construction, it only cost more than 300 taels of silver. .”

After being reminded by Guanshi Zhang, Zhao Ji remembered that the green bricks fired in earthen kilns are very expensive now.According to the scale of bricks used for the walls of the workshop, Zhao Ji built ten houses in Jian'an City with surpluses.

Now that there is coal, the technology of kiln firing will definitely be greatly improved, but Zhao Ji does not intend to do such things as upgrading the original technology.As long as you realize the stability of coal firepower, there will naturally be other smart people who can seize business opportunities.

Anyway, blue bricks, tiles, daily-use ceramics, and ironware will definitely be greatly reduced in price in the future.In particular, the reduction in the price of ironware will definitely promote the growth of agriculture and food.

Thinking of these, Zhao Ji felt that the future was full of hope.Perhaps there is a big gap between this era and modern times, but it is rapidly developing and narrowing the gap. Zhao Ji feels that with the promotion of national power, he should be able to use electricity in his lifetime.

Leading the way by Guanshi Zhang, and then walking to the right along the wall, Zhao Ji saw ten small rectangular two-story buildings built in the original open space, similar in shape to the old staff dormitories in the 90s and [-]s.Even if it is still crude, it marks the significance of cross-age.

According to Zhang Guanshi's introduction, Zhao Ji knew that this was used as a staff dormitory, and only technicians and managers were eligible to live there.Because of the large-scale construction of workshops recently, many temporary workers have been recruited in the villages around Gyeonggi. After they repair these houses, they are very envious of the people who can live in these houses.

In fact, not only the workers who lived in mud-walled thatched houses envied these concrete houses, but even Zhao Ji, who lived in blue brick and tile houses, felt envious.

Back in modern times, Zhao Ji often saw in the news that some people who were tired of city life wanted to go back to basics and live in brick houses in the countryside.

Zhao Ji really wants to tell those people now that whoever lives in a brick and tile house knows how uncomfortable it is. The summer he just experienced was very difficult, because the tiles are too thin, and the house will be hot as soon as the sun shines on it. Fan air conditioner.It was just after the Double Ninth Festival, and I lived in a tile-roofed house. Every night, I felt a cold wind blowing in from the roof. I could predict that it would be very cold in winter.

Even a concrete house can be very hot in summer, but it’s different in winter. Concrete houses are much better at keeping warm than tile-roofed houses, not to mention thatched houses that are more leaky from wind and rain.

In addition to the temperature problem, although Zhao Ji’s house has remodeled the toilet and used flush toilets and showers, the water tower on the roof must use a potter’s wheel to lift water from the water tank on the ground. Chen Xing worked together.

Because it was too laborious and costly, the Zhao family eventually developed into carrying water every night when taking a bath, and the whole family used it together.When you go to the toilet, you manually flush the toilet with a scoop of water.

Zhao's family can't realize the automation of domestic water, and it takes half an hour to take a bath. Later, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia don't like to use showers. They use bucket baths according to their living habits, and there is no need to wait.Maybe it's because children love freshness, Jiang Xu is very supportive, and every night he brings the small wooden basin he washes up to wait to take a shower.

But in this enviable staff dormitory, hot water heated by a boiler can be passed to every household, and the toilet can be automatically flushed.Just these two points are enough to make Zhao Ji envious.

When Zhang Guanshi introduced the ten staff dormitories to Zhao Ji, he was also full of smiles, unable to hide his pride and pride.

Now that he has the technology to build a house and the cost is not high, Zhao Ji feels that what he has considered before, becoming a real estate businessman, can be put on the agenda.

"Guard Zhang, I want to build a batch of houses like this in Jian'an City. Do you think they can be sold?"

Manager Zhang is still very confident in this kind of house, and even put forward his own suggestion, "We can repair a house with four floors at most now. If we divide it into small rooms, we can make money by renting or selling it. It depends on the large quantity to win. If you want to pay a high price, you need to repair the shape of the house and sell it to rich people.”

Zhao Ji felt that Zhang Guanshi was very thoughtful, so he said to him, "I will leave this matter to you, and the workshop will be fine."

Steward Zhang led Zhao Ji to the steward room where he worked, and assured Zhao Ji, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. Although I am the chief steward of the workshop, there are still five stewards in charge of various projects. I usually That is to check the accounts, coordinate the production materials of the workshop, and meet the guests of buyers and sellers. In fact, I am not busy. Mr. Zhao asked me to be responsible for repairing the house, and I don’t need to do it myself, but it is also coordination and management. It’s not difficult to do what you’re used to.”

Seeing Guanshi Zhang strongly recommending himself, Zhao Ji didn't want to disappoint him, "Then I have to worry about Guanshi Zhang, and let the accountant give you an extra 50 taels of silver every month. In addition, this house If it makes a profit, follow the old rules before the search, and the National Teacher and I will split the accounts."'

When Guanshi Zhang heard that his wages were going to increase, his eyes began to light up.

What is he working so hard for? Isn't it just for money? This is not a reward of 50 taels of silver, but an increase of 50 taels every month in the future.His original salary was 100 taels of silver, which was already a very high price. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji raised it by half for him all of a sudden.

This is a real good boss.

Zhao Ji admired Guanshi Zhang's drive. Compared with such a person, he would sometimes reflect on whether he was too lazy, and often wanted to read a novel to spend his leisure time.

When he reached the steward's room, Zhao Ji told Steward Zhang all about the demolition and replacement of houses, the decoration with cement and tiles, and the construction of supporting supermarkets, schools, and hospitals.

Just about the concept of centralized sales in supermarkets, Zhao Ji talked for two hours. He didn't remember to drink the water on the table until his mouth was dry and he finished talking about everything he knew. However, the tea was already cold at this time. .

Regardless of whether it was hot or cold, Zhao Ji picked up the water cup and raised his head to drink it clean.

happy.

Not only was Zhang Guanshi shocked by the new knowledge beyond his cognition, but even Zhu Ping, who was serving by Zhang Guanshi's side, was fascinated by it.

As for the name of Zhao Ji's little fairy, patients who have been cured by Zhao Ji may have doubts, but the people in Jingxi Workshop will not have any doubts. If it is not for the guidance of the fairy, how can mortals know Gods like coal and cement.

When Zhu Ping saw that there was only one tea leaf left in the bottom of Zhao Ji's cup, he remembered to add water to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji drank another glass of water, saw that it was five o'clock, and said to Guanshi Zhang, "I'm going back today. I wanted to see the progress of soap research and development, but I didn't see it today. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon." .Tomorrow morning, if you have time, you can go to the city to see if you can buy a piece of land first, it doesn’t matter if it’s smaller, you can repair the house first, and then go to exchange houses and land with people in Xicheng District. Hurry up, collect more land before other family members react."

The operation method of the demolition, Zhao Ji has already explained to Zhang Guanshi just now, in fact, Zhao Ji does not need to order, Zhang Guanshi can't wait to go to do things overnight tonight.

Sustained by this excitement, Guanshi Zhang felt that he could stay up for three days and three nights.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Zhao Ji remembered that he forgot to mention the development of explosives/explosives, the opening of mountains, and the mining of mines.

You can't become fat if you eat one bite, and you can't finish all the work in one day.

Zhao Ji thought about it carefully, and it's better to figure out the real estate construction first, and then it's not too late to talk about explosives/explosives.

Ever since Chen Xing became a coachman with Zhao Ji, he has always had a very unreal feeling. Zhao Ji has a close friendship with the master of the state, and he goes to a wealthy family for medical treatment, and even he, the coachman, is treated with courtesy.

Chen Xing felt that he walked with the wind now, and he was not afraid of being a soldier anymore. The carriage walked to the gate of the city, and the guards in armor stopped the vehicle for inspection. Chen Xing took out Zhao Ji's seal and showed it to the guards. At the time, the back was not bent at all.

When I was a guard in the Wang family, I didn't know what was going on, but every time I saw these soldiers, I felt timid in my heart.

The city guard carefully read Zhao Ji's seal, but did not give it to Zhao Ji immediately. After waiting for half a minute, Chen Xing became anxious, and then the city gate officer bowed his hands to the carriage respectfully, "The one sitting in the carriage, but Young Master Zhao, the little fairy."

Zhao Ji opened the curtains and took a look. The city gate officer was of medium build, his beard and hair were gray, and his face was very kind, and he didn't look malicious.

Since he didn't have any ill intentions towards him, Zhao Ji smiled amiably, "I'm Zhao Ji here. Is there anything the city gate officer wants me to do?"
