Four years later.

If it is the first time for a person who comes to the border city, when they see this majestic city, they may think that they have gone to the wrong place. The tall city walls and the generous gates, when walking through the shadows, step into the city and see What I arrived at was a scene of prosperity and prosperity. Most of the businessmen came and went, and some barbarians would also shuttle through the city. It was as astonishing as the all-encompassing display of this city.

The layout of the city is like a chessboard, and the houses everywhere are different or like twins. If there are rows of identical houses, they were built at the beginning of the city, and most of them are inhabited by commoners. The handwriting of rich people.

There are organs on the city wall, and there are organs in the city. The ladder that was once used for convenience, but the part of the ladder is removed, it becomes an existence like a convertible. Driven by cattle and sheep, it moves freely in the city, and can directly see the city. Scenery, but not too fast to conflict and hurt people.

What's more, the ingenious merchants not only did not remove the ladder part, but put up a cover on it, making the ladder a mobile commercial vehicle. All kinds of goods can be seen at a glance, especially the various colors hanging behind the cover. The objects hung on the colorful ropes can be seen from a long distance.

And those who want to show off their fur, just hang all the fur goods on the car. Under the sun, the luster on the fur is so moving, it is more tempting and attractive than the ones seen in the less well-lit shops. A pair of shrewd eyes.

The commercial vehicles are already like this, and the shops facing the street are not to be outdone. The design of these shops has also been a little more thoughtful. The roof is divided into two floors, and there is an extra movable roof that can be supported. To support the mobile roof, you only need to step on the ladder and support the upper handle, which is as simple as opening a window.

The sunlight can fall from the four sides of the roof, making the room more bright. If it is cloudy and hot, it can also be ventilated. If it is raining, put the mobile roof down and fasten the handle. Inside and outside, so as not to allow rainwater to slant in.

This design can be said to have a certain ingenuity.

The additional costs incurred due to this, I have to mention one more thing, not all the roofs of the shops are in this style, some shop owners were greedy for a bargain when Ji Mo sent people to make statistics, and never wanted to move like this It was only later that I regretted it. Just this fresh roof made many people who had just come to the border town happily enter the shop.

As long as they come in, they are all potential customers. Who knows if they will see something good and buy it?

There are also people who have played a new trick on this kind of roof, specially found colorful silk ribbons, and tied them on the four sides of the roof. Whenever it is opened, the wind blows in and the silk ribbons move, like colorful butterflies flying.

Even when there is no wind and no motion, if thousands of green silk ribbons hang down, there is a kind of delicate beauty.

Ji Mo has reserved a shop and a piece of land here for his cheap father. He once specially asked someone to send a letter back to talk about this matter, and even the land deed and house deed. These things that should have been done in the government are all It was the general who took over directly, and naturally more than half of the tax money from this flowed into the general's pocket.

Originally, this general was going to rely on these taxes to get promoted, but he was reluctant to part with such a cornucopia, so he stayed and only saved gold and silver elsewhere to buy fields and land.

It’s been a long time since I left it, and seeing the city’s majestic appearance from an inconspicuous dilapidated earthen city to the present, the general has a little more affection for the city. You can even see the general's son riding a horse here.

That piece of prairie really made many people happy to see it.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"

Master Wang is already old. As early as two years ago, he retired from illness and resigned, and devoted himself to this city. If Ji Mo had the merits of pioneering, then Master Wang is definitely the second assistant. Without him, without the help he brought Those craftsmen, the city can't finish it so quickly.

Ji Mo felt that people should be able to remember this credit, so he specially invited the general to write an inscription for the city, and made a special monument. The front of the inscription is the general's inscription, and another one seems to record the whole process of the construction Attached to the article, Ji Mo performed the knife himself, and recorded the names of himself, Wang Dajiang and several others on the Internet without showing any signs of publicity.

He actually thought about making a special stone tablet and writing the names of all the craftsmen involved in the work, but this kind of thing has never happened before. He was afraid that this would be the first of its kind. Instead, it would cause trouble for the craftsmen on the stone tablet. Who knows if there will be any Scholars don't like it, thinking that they can't be named monuments, but let the craftsmen take the lead.

What's more, those craftsmen didn't need these in the first place. If someone looked carefully at these buildings, they would find that the names left by the craftsmen, hidden in that inconspicuous place, were a responsibility and a reputation.

Only by being low-key and cautious can we live better in this era.

For their group, being famous is not necessarily a good thing.

Master Wang's hands pressed against the brick wall. The clay bricks on the city wall have been tempered by the flames of war for several times. Now they look more weathered, but they are more trustworthy. They can withstand the flames of war. able to stand firm.

"So live longer!"

When Ji Mo said this, when Wang Dajiang turned his head and looked over in confusion, he said with a smile, "In this way, we can see all the unexpected things, for example, another great city."

"You, you mean?"

There is a kind of brilliance in Wang Dajiang's eyes. In the construction industry, who doesn't want to build something, and a city is the most showy of skills. It is all-encompassing inside and outside the city, which is enough to show the construction master's skills.

In the past, if Ji Mo was called a builder, he was probably a little short of it. Now, this majestic city is a proof that he does not need the emperor's conferment or official position glory. He is already a builder.

No one would deny this fact, even though many people now don't quite remember the difference between a builder and a master craftsman, but with Wang Dajiang, he can understand this meaning better.

"I have to build more things. A city is not enough."

What should be the measure of a person's life?Time will eventually turn into emptiness, how many years just add years to emptiness.What about works?

Use one piece of work to prove that the empty time becomes full, full of texture, and has enough weight in history. Maybe it will not turn into a piece of text in history and become familiar to everyone. The story, however, its existence, is the proof of history, its period of time, not only its own, but also his.

Also theirs.

A testament to the sweat and hard work that has been swayed here.

The brilliance in Wang Dajiang's eyes was like the afterglow of the setting sun, and soon disappeared. He beat his lower back with his backhand. He was getting old and his legs and feet were not good. This is almost a common problem of all elderly people, and he, because of the strain when he was young, was particularly serious. .

"I can't go, you go."

His eyes turned to Wang Jiulang who was beside him. He had many sons, and Wang Jiulang was not the most accomplished one, but his favorite was Wang Jiulang. His elderly son.

He didn't get the words out of his mouth, he was reluctant to let his son travel far away, so he sighed.

Ji Mo didn't recruit Wang Jiulang this time. He knew that Master Wang was reluctant to part with him, and even he was not sure that the road ahead would be safe and sound.

Xu Shi was eye-opened by this border city. Xu Shi thought too much in the process of building the city. Ji Mo is not prepared to stick to the rules. Indeed, this piece of Central Plains is still very large, and there are still many scenery and buildings to be seen. But he wants to see farther places, far away to foreign lands, far away to the completely different scenery, and the unique buildings.

Some buildings are limited by materials, and most buildings are made of local materials. So, can different places and different materials make the buildings look different?

He wants to try.

Every world is a new world, and every world is so big, but he always swims within a square inch, like a small fish trapped in a transparent fish tank, there may be a vast world outside, but he can see it with his eyes. , but that's all.

The difference from the frog at the bottom of the well may be that we can see a little wider, but in fact, this "broadness" is too limited.

There is still such a big world, the world beyond his sight, he also wants to see it.

Ji Mo made a special trip home to bid farewell to cheap father. He was not surprised to see the extra younger brother at home. After reaching a certain age, people always hope to have a child, not only for the future, but also for dependence. , They will also choose children who are closer to themselves. What could be closer than bringing them up with their own hands?

The little child looked over curiously. Ji Mo carved a small wooden horse and gave it to him, which made him laugh and call "brother". The attitude of women is the same as that of their own sons, eager and caring, while men are the same as before. taciturn.

"I'm going to take a look further afield. I don't know when I can come back. Keep these."

Ji Mo left some as travel expenses, and the rest of the real estate was given to the man, "The walls of the border town are very strong and can withstand the flames of war, but if you are not at ease, you can continue to collect rent like this. I will negotiate with others Yes, the caravan will send the rent every year and help manage it..."

"You change it into money, take it, and the poor will get rich."

The man refused, very resolutely, as if he had a premonition that he would never return.

"Don't worry, I still have it."

Ji Mo was also very determined. The stalemate between the two was broken by the woman's voice calling for dinner. Ji Mo left the wooden box on the table and told the man to eat first.

Before dawn, Ji Mo got up and left. When he went out, he looked back, as if he saw the figure of a man standing silently in the surging darkness. This scene was somewhat familiar. Many years ago, he once seen.

If possible, Ji Mo hopes that men will go to see that city, and only by seeing that city can they understand Grandpa Sun's persistence in being a builder all his life. There is nothing more touching and touching than creation.

The building itself that condenses wisdom is the best glory, and it is worth remembering for a lifetime.
