technical type

When Wang Jiulang heard the news about the border town, two years had passed, the foundation of a great city had been laid, and the craftsmen needed gradually became more skilled. Just build it up in place.

Especially in architecture, there is always a need for more skilled craftsmen.

The major merchants who have already obtained some benefits are also very active in this matter. Even the artisans managed by officials, such as Wang Jiulang, have received solicitations in this regard. Among the jobs, it is a good thing that can really increase everyone's income, and no one will refuse.

Neither can Wang Jiulang.

"Is it really possible?"

He is still a little dubious about the news, it's too unbelievable, whose brain is broken?Even if you want to build a house in a border town, aren't you afraid that the barbarians will burn everything up with a torch?

"Of course it's true. It's too late for us to know the news. Many people have already gone. It is said that not only the house is built, but the city is also built!"

The one who talked to Wang Jiulang was his brother, Xing Liu, whom he called "Sixth Brother".

"Built the city!"

Wang Jiulang was taken aback. Looking at the mysterious look of the sixth brother, he knew that this must not be a lie. He instinctively thought, isn't it only the imperial court that can build a city?But, thinking about it, it seems that there is something wrong again. It is pure nonsense to say that there are many cities in the world that were built by the imperial court.

Not to mention the ones left in history, some special ones, he himself knew that they were built by the locals, and the latecomers just modified the location of the city to make it a famous building on the map. .

"This, will it be, not very good?"

Wang Jiulang wouldn't think too much if he had to put it aside, since the salary is just right, so why not make money?But now, after Wang Dajiang was beaten and found out that being a master does not mean he is superior to others, Wang Jiulang is a little more cautious in his actions, which may seem prudent to Wang Dajiang, but in fact he is a little timid.

"Hey, what's the matter, so many people went, the court is to blame, but we can't blame us. Look at those rebels, when did the court arrest and kill all the craftsmen because of the weapons they used?"

Brother Six disagrees.

A skill is sometimes a life-saving gold medal for avoiding death. Besides, as craftsmen, it is necessary to worry about who will use the things they build?

They are hired by businessmen to build houses for businessmen. It has nothing to do with them whether the city is not a city.

It made sense to say that, Wang Jiulang hesitated in every possible way, but finally agreed, told Master Wang, and when he got the consent, he took a few brothers from his family and went to the border town together.

The big moves in the border town cannot be hidden from the people nearby. Some people have already gone to the border town to make a living. In fact, the money was well planned by Ji Mo, and every penny was put into practice. He didn't take everything by himself. For the matter of money and food, the several companies that pay the money can have people here to manage it, and Ji Mo has already planned the corresponding management regulations.

Coupled with his extraordinary mental arithmetic ability, a statement of accounts with clear income and expenditure, and any histograms and the like, it is enough to dazzle some ancient people, and some people who have learned from it will use it immediately. Going to your own store, the effect is remarkable.

This kind of talent also made these businessmen value him more. In addition, Ji Mo had a sincere discussion with them and carefully explained the pros and cons of this matter. They are still young, so don't be dazzled by looking at the money at this time , only thinking about being greedy for ink, but thinking about how to use the money to do more things.

For young people, money is important, but reputation is also important. In the border town where everyone is watching, if you do well, you can see it directly. You have shown your talent and gained a good reputation. Is there no way out in the future?

Ji Mo also took himself as an example, saying that he was an ordinary unknown person at the beginning, but since he proposed to build the city and took care of so many things, now the city has only taken shape, and many people have recruited him. It can be seen that he will have more ways to go in the future.

Even the general wanted to recruit him to be a money and food official because of his good calculations, but Ji Mo refused because he wanted to build a city.

In contrast, the General's Mansion, which was established early on, is really magnificent.

The city wall that has already been built is still in the first phase. It is not the final appearance, but it has already been able to initially resist possible attacks from barbarians. In addition to the general's mansion, there is also a matching martial arts arena, which is convenient for the general's private soldiers to guard and train soldiers. In addition, there are scattered other houses, most of which are the houses and shops that the big businessmen enjoyed in advance.

There is not enough time and there are too many buildings. In many places, the ground is surrounded by limestone. Even the pavement is simply erected with poles and hung with a flag. There are even wooden houses that are so simple that they seem to collapse at any time. , for some people to live temporarily.

The climate here in the border town is relatively dry, with less rainfall, and waterproofing is not too important. In order to win everyone's trust and make it easier for them to invest in the second phase of the project, Ji Mo did a lot of face-saving work in the first phase of the project, because Due to the shortage of manpower, he even adopted the method of assembly line for construction.

Take the mortise and tenon structure that can be used in an ordinary house as an example, make a few shapes and models in advance, and then use a standard ruler to draw, and then put down the painted wood, so that those craftsmen who are not very skilled can take pictures. Cut according to the depicted place, and finally complete a relatively standardized finished product.

Mortise and tenon joints of the same shape can be joined together. In this case, explain some of the key points of the building and focus on the degree of completion. Others are similar to building blocks, which can be regarded as a relative simplification of the building. Let ordinary people with little technology can quickly learn and master it.

Among them, there will naturally be some people who make mistakes and make some mistakes, but the houses of these common people are strong enough, so you don't have to worry too much about the appearance. As long as you can live in it in the end, it's a new house, what's wrong with it?

Most of the other workers who did not have a house, and those refugees who were lured by big businessmen to come here, came here to do coolies. Not all of them had a house. A large plank was placed under the thatched shed, which was a full bed that could accommodate Many people sleep.

There are also some who don't really care about it, and sleep directly on the ground that has been leveled during the day. The ground is a little hot during the day, and there is still some residual heat when sleeping at night, which is really comfortable.

In order to be able to erect the city wall faster, Ji Mo used ancient cement to build it. This ancient cement is actually mirage ash plus clay. Mirage ash is lime made from fired clam shells. Its reinforcement effect is very good, and clay , there are few in the local area, and they have to be transported from far away. Ji Mo asked them to directly make clay bricks into bricks. Without firing, they can be dried directly and stacked for transportation. The clay of the plant juice was brought in buckets, and an appropriate amount of mirage ash was placed on site to act as a binder.

The final effect can only be said to be slightly worse than that of Sanhe soil, and the cost performance is already very high.

Regarding this, Ji Mo can only say that if he has money and food in the future, he can add a city wall of Sanhe clay outside the city wall. Who said that there can only be one city wall?

At present, the first phase of the project is still based on frugality, so as not to invest too much and not see anything. If those big businessmen quit and want to recover their investment, it will be a waste of work.

The investment of the merchants is directly cashed in in kind such as money, food and materials. Together with the workers, Ji Mo’s treatment is to include food and lodging. After how many days of work is done, the work points are calculated, and finally the work points can be exchanged. How much can you get? The land outside the city, or the residences and shops in the city.

There is no need to worry about this part. The land outside the city can be divided even if it is not within the territory of the imperial court. Anyway, the barbarians did not guard the border towns. You can come to re-delineate the territory with the imperial court, so, what is the previous territory, you can completely deny it and push forward quietly!

Are those barbarians smart enough to calculate the area?

If you don't seek meritorious service in expanding the territory, at least everyone has land and will never fail, that's all.

This kind of arrangement can be said to be simple and rude, but for many people, having land is better than anything else. Is it still a sure thing how much money can buy these days?At certain times, prices are soaring, and everyone is afraid, which is why many people always store food at home.

Who doesn't have a cellar unless they can't afford it?

Before the start of work, Ji Mo said, what each group will do, what they will make, and what can be exchanged for the points counted at the end. The huge calculation has been done by Ji Mo, even how many work points a day, How many work points can be exchanged for how much land, how many shops, and how many houses are all calculated, and the table is directly listed to let everyone understand that the sweat and hard work they are putting in now is for their own future. house and land.

No one wants to become a landlord all of a sudden, so this seemingly hard work was completed smoothly because of Ji Mo's arrangement.

This kind of control over large-scale projects, in the eyes of many big businessmen, also admired Ji Mo more, and issued a letter of appointment early on, saying that Ji Mo can change his career in the future, and don't want to be a money officer Okay, isn't it good to just be the shopkeeper?

The status of a businessman is not high, but if you are rich, you are really rich, and in many cases, you can do many things that are not allowed by the law, such as wearing silk clothes.

If it wasn't for the mission, Ji Mo would be really excited. Traveling all over the world depends on these merchants, especially their ability to deliver supplies. Doing things for yourself is different from doing things for others. , the border town with a lot of traffic, just has a prototype, and it is already quite prosperous.

When Wang Jiulang came here, what he saw was this kind of border town, a border town that was completely beyond imagination, and the scene of the bustling scene seemed to be filled with infinite vitality, which made people feel refreshed.
